I'm a Brit and have a general interest in politics. Our major parties include Labour (who are supposed to represent the working class), conservative (you represent the wealthly), and the Liberal Democrats (who believe in equality across the country). What is the US equivilant and what do they stand for?

Why is it that whenever you want to try to prove that Americans are inferior, you always bring up the point that most Europeans have passports, while few Americans do? Have you ever taken the time to look at a map? Are you aware that travelling, as I did a few months back, from Maryland on the east coast, to Texas, just HALFWAY across the country, is the same distance as going from Spain to Russia?

And has it ever occurred to you that most of our states are larger than all of your countries? Yeah, if I lived in Belgium, I'd practically need a passport just to go to the grocery store, and vacation time is pretty boring if you are stuck in a country the size of our largest city. Americans, however, can travel freely across a nation larger than your entire continent. Plus, we can freely travel to the two countries that border us. Why do we need passports except to fly over there and put up with the insufferable snobbery from you arrogant twits?

Get over your false cosmopolitanism.

After the cold war ended, co called 'democracy' has becoming the book of peace and slogan of the world dominated by US. Therefore US urged other countries to march following their foot step and trying to wipe out any system that rulling the mankind including Islam. Every country that trying to have Islamic system running their country (taliban but no Ben Laden found) will be targetted and being label terrorist and therefore US created blew up his own WTC and killed his own people and blamed Islamic terrorist for it. as the result US invaded afganistan and few years later destroying iraq and (no WMD found). After Bush being found out lying and caused all this mayhems....should USA pay all these damages that they caused to all these caountries that they have destroyed?

Property taxes generally fund your local school district and municipalities.

Cities generally don't charge a sales tax but a 1-3% wage tax which they use to provide services in the city such as maintenance, police and civic services.

Sales tax is generally collected on a state level and used to manage state services, courts, police and maintenance.

Above came from another answer regarding the use of sales tax. So is the 1-3% wage tax this person is referring to, the state income tax? If so, why would that figure vary, the percentage I mean? Isn't that an apportioned tax? Why would each city vary the percentage?

I had a cursory glance and so far as I know am the first to mention here the policeman who was recently told by a judge that he would not be punished for travelling at very high speeds such as 150 mph when caught by the incar monitoring system (der!!). He had said that he was just getting used to driving his car but surely this kind of behaviour is inexcusable. Why are judges so soft on policemen in situations like this when they should realise that this leniancy only serves to make the general public less kindly disposd towards the police (and judges)?

I've just been looking at several other questions and on one side Americans have posted about how they 'saved' the UK during the second world war (which is true) but on the other they were stating the reason for killing native Americans were because the colonists were all British. Equally, i see a lot of Americans bashing the French, and yet they forget it was the french who came to their aid during the war with the British. Do you not think that Americans (or indeed all countries) look at history in a convinient way?

To my knowledge there have been recent reports that certain people are finding bomb making pages on the web.
Why cant somebody just stop them being published so less people are in the know. I understand the web is a freedom of free speech but blowing up your fellow man has to be the limit

from each according to his abilities; to each according to his needs.....that seems like a good idea to me. So why have we given up on it as a race? surely the propblem is human nature (wanting more than the guy next door). Or do you think that if communism was successful it would result in the stagnation of the human race?
