Politics & Government - 20 September 2006

60% of mine was there. One didn't come home except under his country's flag. I just wanted to know if anyone else wants to share their experience and who can understand the sleepless nights crying for the one who didn't come back like I do for my Brother (Brother in Law but BROTHER to me). My Father came home sick and no one knows why only that his lungs are damaged and my only sister who came home to people questioning how could she go there.. She cries.. takes medication to sleep and suffers from severe nightmares..... The Military can't give enough help although they try.... They just don't know what to say or what to do.

I see tv shows where police officers get together for drinks after work......and I'm guessing (you) don't have a designated driver.
I get upset if my boyfriend has 1 beer and gets behind the wheel.
Help me ease my fears......how many is too many?
What would you personally stop at?
FYI He has DUI's in his past.....before he met me.

Basically I am just so angered about the Illegal Immigration issue. I am a Journalism Grad Student and I see the truth regarding the catastrophe at our nation's borders. In any other nation, the millions who cross illegaly every year would be prosecuted and then extradited back to their home country. Why does our government coutinue to be ignorant regarding this issue? If something is not done soon, California, Arizona, and Texas will be the first to go. Anyone else agree? You will if you are a citizen who sees the deception.

I have a friend who is fighting severe heart problems. She wants us to have her son if something happens to her. She cannot afford having a will written by a lawyer. What can she do?

I think this is about the biggest waste of money. 80% of what the post office does is transfer junk mail from one place to another. Delivering junk mail = transporting garbage. Any thoughts?

Nor do they really seem to have any issues of their own to debate that are real, unless you think that making fun of former democrat politicians is even an issue..
Does this prove they are truly brainwashed and haven't a clue at all about what is going on?
And that being said, why are they so vigilant and proud in their ignorance, how have they convinced themselves that they are right even when they obviously have no idea what they are talking about?

Very convenient that gas prices are lowered just before election time. I think the world oil barons got together and lowered crude prices hopeing to keep the
right wing hawks in power. World-wide conflict is their goal and the Reps. are more than happy to oblige. War means big money for the big shots and jobs
for the unemployed as the logistics necessary to maintain the military is huge.

These two leaders are Democratically elected Presidents of nations with a deep sense of wisdom.

Do you think maybe they are right when they talk about U.S. Imperialism trying to control the world?

No other country has military bases on on every major continent. We try to tell everyone what to do, and we threaten them with sanctions or war, if they don't.

At one time the USA gave money to every, and any, world leader that wasn't communist. Including Saddam Hussein, the Taliban, Pinochet, the Shah of Iran, etc. EACH ONE OF THEM WERE HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSERS, THAT TORTURED AND KILLED TO STAY IN POWER. And thanks to US aid, most of them did.

Do you think that just maybe, Chavez, and Ahamedinejad, actually made some good remarks that reflects some international views of our nation?

Why is marijuana a gateway drug? Is it because it opens people up to breaking the law? If so would it be a gateway drug if it were legal? How about underaged drinking/smoking, are they similar gateways, or are they not because they later become legal?

Is it because it opens people up to using other drugs, legal or not, and they seek another high?

Is it sort of a broken barrier drug, the drug people who use drugs start with, that if you can avoid, they probably won't take drugs?

Or is it not a gateway drug at all?

Do your Republicans think of anything smarter to talk about than Bill Clinton?

What about the present?
What about the future?
