Politics & Government - 28 August 2006

Our brave troops in Afghanistan and Iraq are being killed slowly for unjustified reasons (forget about establishing B*S* democracy in Iraq or hunting for OBL or Taliban leaders in Afghanistan). How do we support our kids? Should we keep them in the Middle East and pray for God to keep them safe? Should we demand our government to bring them home alive? Should we keep praising them while being slaughtered? Just tell me... how?

My daughter and I worked at the same business and it was robbed. My daughter was hurt. I have now quit and my unemployment has been denied. Going thru an appeal and I have to send in a brief. I cant find any points relied on to help get the denial over turned. Any ideas?

I hear all the time, that the "rich" should pay their "fair share" of taxes. But nobody who says this ever clarifies what "rich" is. For that matter, what is a "fair" share? Insofar as income goes, our tax code is progressive, not regressive (sales taxes for the most part are regressive)

For some perspective, here are some figures from the IRS (recent tax year).

Top 20% (those above $75k AGI) pay 72% of income taxes and have 62% of income.
Top 11% (those above $100k AGI) pay 61% of income taxes and have 49% of income.

Tax Breaks - Yes, there are quite a few strange tax breaks that benefit some special interests. But, the most common tax breaks apply to the vast majority of income earners. Yet, those phase out quickly once you get above certain income levels -- Examples: Itemized Deductions, Child and Educational Tax Credits, Exemptions/deductions for dependents.

It's been destroyed by terrorists.
Now the two Twin Towers, very valuable buildings that no longer exist, will eventually become a Memorial Garden or something of the sort.
But what happened to all the employees in the WTC?
Have they been located?
What about the important files and information that have been destroyed in the two towers?

Thanks for your help.

YOU people make me sick all the time wanting the government to hand you something .OR whinning about your paycheck .IF you were not so stupid you could earn a living like the rest of us .
WE make our own living and do not rely on anyone else to do it for us .WHEN will you just get to work and take care of your own and leave us republicans alone .
DOES it make you sick to have your grubby little hands out all the time trying to take what i have earned .
YOU will just use it for things like homes for lazy people or health care for people to stupid to have saved to take care of themselves .I am tired of paying for all your liberal mistakes .SAVE some money for a rainy day .GET of my back and earn a living yourself and quit trying to take what i have earned you silly people .Socialism will never work because the more i give the more you want and it will never be enough .I pay you 12 you want 15 and 20 and 30 and always have your hand out for more .QUIT begging and accept your position .

"Islamic fascist" seems to be the latest/greatest buzzword to describe terrorists (and inaccurate primarily because they have no state.) But maybe Iran fits this category? I think "regional empirialist" seems closer, but not sure...

Im sorry but do you guys really believe he didnt know Saddam did not have WMDs? We did give them to him more than twenty years ago. Do you really think Saddam Hussein was a threat to America? I mean you seriously honestly without laughing believe that? Did you forget that at the time of the decision to go to war, they had so brainwashed people, that you either voted for the war or they branded you a traitor who sympathized for the terrorists? But seriously I mean do you honestly believe that Bush did not know that he was presenting faulty intelligence for the case for war with Iraq?

honestly, them mormon bible pushers are worse than hell,
don't you wish you could just shoot them?


(i have nothing against mormons, as long as they stay off my property! they come by every 3-4 days in this neiborhood thinking it will help prevent crime if every one just converted)

i've asked them plenty of times to stop coming here, politely and they just don't seem to get it. i even put up no tresspassin' signs and better yet, islamic extremist logo's on my garage door.

when one tried to jam his foot in the door i just slamed it and he called the cops (broken toes) but quite a few of the cops are mormons too. so obviously, their not doing anything, what can i do?

can i just shoot them (or at them) ?


if not, what do you suggest?

I'm not trying to get you all fired up, I just want to understand the reasoning, ok. Why is it that you would impeach a president for getting a bj from an intern and lying about it, but you see it as ok for a president to lead us into an unwinnable war based on, at best, greatly exaggerated WMD claims? It seems that this war has cost us much more, in lives and money, than a little bj in the oval office. Again, please don't resort to name-calling, I just want to understand the reasoning.

If you file a Demand for Discovery 2 times including a compel decision in the last 8 months but the other party did not comply by the rules and just ignored this Demand but on the hearing day the other party provides the evidence ????.The Judge was aware of this but did not object to it not even after you point it out to him twice he just went on with the hearing. Is this not bias on the Judges part and he is breaking the court rules?
By law the accused is allowed to ask for evidence I assume I am 100 % sure on this but the evidence should be presented to you before the hearing least 30 days if they dont have any evidence than I would assume they have to give you a response also before the hearing.
Would this be a reason to appeal ?
Need your opinion.
