Politics & Government - 10 August 2006

In our just and noble society, with so many tired and downtrodden people. Why havent these terror groups exploited our capitolism against us? I would think they would try to tempt people with "easy money" to win thier allegiance. But with these recent arrests it looks to me like they not only want people with the right ideology but also people they can count on to do the job? Why is that?

Coundn't the government itself sponsor each qualified candidate itself by controlling the debates and the airing of them? This would allow more diversity in our elections and all the people could hear proposals from each candidate, not just the ones who can afford to be on T.V. The government could air and sponsor debates between the candidates and we could truly see which one will represent us the best. Now with how elections are set up, candidates would have to get some sort of sponsor to give them money in order to advertise themselves thereby becoming a slave to that sponsor. This is why, I feel, our leaders cannot represent the people nowadays. They are slaves to their sponsors and their own greed and have the parties ideals, and their own on the agenda and not the wishes of the people. The government should set up the debates between each candidate from each party and have sole control over broadcasting it. Does anyone think this could work?

he men slick their hair with baby oil, gel or Vaseline, or just shave it all off. The women wear it in ponytails with a neon green hair band or in pigtails or wear bangs created with the biggest curling iron in the world. Do they see themselves in the mirror before leaving home? Do they realize everyone is staring ’cause they look bad?

i don't. not in this form. currently israel is a country that was granted its land by usa after world war 2 - there was no such thing as israel.the land belonged to arabs - that's why the fight for it. they fight for their land,not because they are stupid and wild - damn no. if usa wants israel to exist - then let usa give it some of its land, usa had no right to take land from arabs and do whatever they wanna do. if you so love jews and want them live happy - take all of them and give them territory - in your own country!!

What do you believe the fatal flaw was in this recent attempted attack that made it possible for them to be trailed and eventually caught?

Everything from calling liberals "terrorist" and saying liberals are "disappointed that the attack didn't happen"...

THAT'S SICK... SOME OF YOU ARE SICK...

48 percent of America voted for Kerry.. .and you guys CLEARLY HATE that 48 percent of Amercia...

how can you love America when you hate 48 percent of it so much?

I don't hate you... but all anyone who ever disagrees with some of you is pure hate? Granted some liberals go overboard on the bush stuff... but shouldn't you want to "be better than them" instead of sinking to their level? In the end, you're no better than they are, when you sink to their level...

OMG, I asked a question about how stupid it was to ban carry-on liquids on flights, and a whole bunch of people just blindly agreed it was not a dumb thing to do...for the sake of security.

Seriously...if you used your brain, you would realize that the only way to be totally secure on an airplane flight is to pretty much ban flying...period! Banning carry-on liquids is just a joke, come on people, just like checking shoes. It's one thing to keep an eye out for suspicious materials...another to outright ban something that is so basic and essential to most people.

Why is America so afraid of these idiot terrorists? Who spends $440 billion a year on their military plus?

Give me back my damn Gatorade and toothpaste please.

Do police officers have to read you your rights or not ? I was informed that they do not have to read you your rights anymore. Is this really true?

OUR COUNTRY OWES YOU A GREAT DEAL OF GRATITUDE FOR WHAT YOU DID TODAY.
Bless you, Bless you, Bless you!
Hope we never have to owe you a favor and we soon have terrorism end instead, but if we do, I pray we can return the favor as eloquently as you did today!

Iran
Saudi Arabia
Egypt
Iraq

It was sad to read your opinions about Iran... like saying most of us are uneducated which is not right because most of Iranians are educated and there are a few people who are uneducated... we don't want to kill anyone and we are not terrorists (though I agree we have an stupid president and goverment)... I think Israel is the country who is killing a lot of people per day not us and so the USA is helping them

but it is still nice knowing what other people think...
