Politics & Government - 28 August 2006

I do understand that some issues have little to no common ground, it's either one or the other. Still there are many issues that can be decided on in which both sides have a say and have some if not all of their concerns met. The Iraq war, I cannot really make a resolution to this because I don't have all the information on it, I don't get daily reports on it, but maybe there's a way to keep troops in Iraq and work to make it a more self sufficient nation, while we shorten the time of the occupation. Abortion is another one, I don't believe in abortions, but I don't agree with them being illegal. If they are banned, we'll have an increase in women dying due to back alley abortions. We can't also just have an abortion free for all, it should be regulated in a way, so what would be common ground on this issue, surely there is one. So why not put differences aside and try to work together, or is pride more of an issue than the prosperity of the Nation?

I mean: the social system named Socialism and the idea of the today Democracy can't be found in a same country and in a same epoc? Is there a possibility of both things existing together? Or are they "opposite" things?


Please, only answer here the ones which have a minimum clear idea of what both concepts are (Socialims and emocracy)... a mininum notion, ok?

Democracy: where the poeople choose their representants and these last ones have e determined period to govern;

Socialims: a socio-economical-political system where the governamental decisions are taken, scatologically, for the good of people, not for the necessities its market.

Someone said they are fighting in Iraq to give me freedom. How can that be? If Iraq is 10,000 miles away and it survives or becomes destroyed how can that affect me? I was told if we lose Vietnam we would all die a horrible death. Well, we lost Vietnam and I'm doing just fine. So tell me again how fighting in Iraq will give me a wonderful life.

And for you old folks out there who remember the term Liberty, give the sheeple a definition for us.

By "police department" I mean a fully operational police department with sworn police officers, NOT just security guards. I am aware of only one such university campus. Do you know of any others. Please post links, if so.

They damaged 1000's of homes, hospitals, schools , bridges,power sources and bombed ambulances and the UN's base.
They swore on the dearest that THERE will never be negotiation terrorists? over the two soldiers.
Strange enough, negotiations have strated immediately after the bombing was over. The exchange of the Lebanese captives has already started. Ahhhh. Longlive NusruAllah.
