People are dying of illnesses from over eating.Partly to do with companies filling products with 2 much sugar.If goverments introduced a calorie tax the companies would reduce the sugar in products almost over night.1 billion people in the world are overwieght or obese.800 000 are dying of hunger.They could use the calorie tax to give to the hungry.

Aren't Jews just so vain? They lie a lot, too. That's what me and my friends have realized. My friend is Christian, and she and I totally agree that Jews are sooo snobby. My friends called me this morning from Switzerland, because they are at a camp there, and she said the all the Arabs hate the Jews there, and that she can't blame the Arabs for that. I totally understand that. I personally don't like Arabs either. Jews are the reason for all the wars in the world. WWII, the war in Afganistan, Isreal, Lebanon. So, who agrees with me? Also, all the Jews she and I know, think they're sooo cool. Jews just want people to feel sorry for them because they're peeps were in the Holocoust. Even Madonna, who i absolutly luv, practicies Kabballah!

So shouldn't the US government make it, as a minimum condition for naturalization, mandatory that immigrants that come to this country be law abiding? If they break the law they get deported. I can't understand why some people think that's unfair. If you're invited to someone's house and steal something, they throw you out. Same concept applies. Your thoughts?

I hear him say things regularly that I know are outright wrong. I am guessing he actually believes less than 50% of what he says. I would hate to think he is so stupid he believes more. What do you think?

play the game (or at least pretend to play the game which is all he ever did). Honestly he doesn't look well--he looks tired and drawn....Sure he's an idiot..but watch his body language...it's almost defeated...And I'm not so certain that he's learned how to read his speeches correctly yet. He really looks like a candidate for a major health crisis..I'm not kidding. Does anyone else notice this?

So "Separation of Church and State" comes from Thomas Jefferson's letter and was tied in with the 1st Ammendment. The interpretation varies as to the meaning of the two but ultimately decided by the Supreme Court. Ok, so without religion, where do we get our basis for right and wrong? Obviously our founding fathers were religious men or held the morals of their "christian" faiths. So today where does that put us? How do we decide right and wrong without it? I've not looked all this up in a long long time and am jumping back into all this wonderful stuff. Is it simply the Supreme Court justices that decide what they think? Got any websites for reference for me?

BTW...I really enjoy yahoo answers and I love reading everyones responses whether I agree or disagree. I continually learn new things so thanks to you all :)
