he is ruining our country! so many bad things are going on, and all he is worried about is fighting different countries, when everything has been the same as it was since the 1970's!!! now, the other countries have just tried to pull another 9/11 stunt, but it failed. they tried to make the planes go down again by puting the bad substances in gatorade and a throw away camera. but, the F.B.I caught them, saying it was a HUGE ordeal, but good 'ol bush did nothing about it, except make unwritten law that nobody is allowed to bring any liquids with you on a plane, except baby formula, which really doesn't do a thing. what is WRONG with this man??!??!?!?!?

Or do they just enjoy bashing the national scapegoat? I'm not questioning the thinking capability of a typical liberal man, of course.

Who are you prouder of: Condi Rice or Colin Powell? Both? Why?

common sentiment is Mr. Powell is a gentleman, and Ms Rice... I can't even mention here without being reported.

Yes Repbulicans are the party of inclusion. They welcome everyone.
Well, almost everyone, they don't want any fags, or blacks, or Hispanics, or Jews, or other non-Christians, or poor folks, or anyone with a disability, or forginers, but other than that, they love everyone.

I honestly thought that the world had come to a better place after the end of the cold war and Berlin wall etc. I am horrified at what is happeneing in the world today and wonder what others think about it. Do you think WWIII is coming, do you think we humans will destroy ourselves and the planet? Or do you think that it can be stopped? Are we really civilized?

I would appreciate a SUBJECTIVE definition to one or more of these terms. Because alot of idiots are going to run to the dictionary to find it. I want to know your definition of any term, and the reasoning behind it.

Does anyone know what is classified as "violent crimes" and what is classified as "nonviolent crimes", or where I could get this information? (Obviously, I know that things like rape and murder are violent crimes, but I would like to know the full list of each.) I'm doing some research and need to know. Also, I don't know if it varies from state to state but I'm in South Carolina. Thanks for any help :)

US levels for foreign aid fall short of this goal (the US currently ranks last among the world's wealthiest countries at about 0.1 percent of GNP.) However, in absolute amounts, the United States is currently the world's top donor of economic aid, providing $16.254 billion in 2003 according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

In 2001, the United States gave $10.9 billion, Japan $9.7 billion, Germany $4.9 billion, the United Kingdom $4.7 billion, and France $4.3 billion. As a percentage of GNP, however, the top donors were Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Sweden. The Netherlands (pop. 16.3 million) gave $3.2 billion in 2001 — almost a third of what America contributed.

We are funding a war against terror, forgive us world for coming in a little shy with the give away money. We are trying to make the world safe, democratic and free. Kudos to all those countries who were generous to give so much, the world needs you.

Hispanic Birth Rate Soars. Taxpayers stop hospital bankruptcies!

Hispanic birth rate soars in Southeast

Hispanic births are skyrocketing in the Southeast, where an increase of at least 40 percent was recorded in five states between 2000 and 2003, according to a new government report.

Topics: illegal immigration, birth rate, Hispanic, Mexico, Mexican, costs, money, hospitals, taxpayers, medicaid, bankrupt

8/9/2006
The Associated Press
Atlanta

Among the states with the largest increases were Kentucky (80 percent), South Carolina (62 percent), Alabama (53 percent), Tennessee (53 percent) and Arkansas (40 percent), the report found.

The report, from the National Center for Health Statistics, is called the first state-by-state breakdown of birth and fertility rates in the U.S. Hispanic population.

U.S. births for non-Hispanic whites decreased 10 percent between 1990 and 2000, and 2 percent between 2000 and 2003, the report showed. Births for blacks declined 9 percent and 5 percent, respectively.

In contrast, births for Hispanic women jumped 37 percent between 1990 and 2000, and another 12 percent between 2000 and 2003.

But there were differences in birth and fertility rates among Hispanic sub-populations, noted Paul Sutton, an author of the new report.

"Hispanics are not a monolithic group. There's a tremendous variation" in births among women of Mexican, Puerto Rican and Cuban origin, said Sutton, a statistician and geographer with the National Center for Health Statistics.

Mexican-Americans had the highest birth rates overall, followed by Puerto Ricans and Cuban-Americans. Mexican-Americans gave birth in their teens and early 20s at higher rates, while for Cuban-Americans, the highest birth rate was for women in their late 20s.

And while California and Texas continue to have the largest Mexican populations, North Carolina and Georgia had the highest fertility rates for Mexican mothers.

In North Carolina, there were 181 births per 1,000 Mexican women ages 15 to 44 in 2000. In Georgia, the fertility rate was 180 per 1,000 Mexican women.

In contrast, the U.S. fertility rate for Mexican-American women was 105 per 1,000. California's was 112, and Texas' was 124.

It's not likely Georgia or North Carolina will soon surpass Texas or California in Hispanic births: In 2003, nearly 270,000 babies were born to Hispanic mothers in California and 183,000 in Texas, but 18,000 in Georgia, 16,000 in North Carolina, and 5,000 or fewer in most other Southeast states.

But the relative increase in the Southeast states is notable, and may have implications for health-care facilities and state budgets, particularly if some or many Hispanic families are uninsured.

WakeMed _ a 515-bed hospital in Raleigh, N.C. _ saw Hispanic births rise from 463 in 1997 to 1,819 in 2005.

Hispanics account for about 36 percent of the births at the hospital. Most years, more than 90 percent are Mexican, said Dr. Juan Granados, who trains obstetrics residents at the hospital.

Only about 3 percent of the families have health insurance, he said. Fortunately, the state provides a special Medicaid payment to help offset such unreimbursed care, he added.

"So the hospitals don't go into bankruptcy," said Granados, a University of North Carolina professor of obstetrics and gynecology and maternal and fetal medicine.

In the past, most Hispanic mothers were part of migrant farm worker families who came to the Raleigh area for part of the year and then moved on. But lately, many Mexican families seem to be staying year-round, with men taking jobs in construction and landscaping, Granados said.

Does he really think that vetoing that bill has moved the country forward in science at all. How could someone be evil enough to not want to find a cure to cancer and other diseases.

what exactly is the difference... granted one is manditory, but those who elect not to get health insurance have no means to pay for medical care and default the debt, which increases insurance rates...

so those who pay for insurance are paying for it anyway, just like they would in taxes?

At least if it was in taxes, everyone would help pay for it... and maybe we wouldn't have to pay for Insurance CEOs to get paid millions and benifits...

and insurance is not even good for competition, since many health care compaines don't have competition in many cases...
