Is door-to-door solicitation legal? We had nasty looking people coming thru our neighborhood yesterday?

They were going door to door trying to sell cleaning products. They were in an old conversion van with no company listed on it and their license plate was missing. This was right at the time the school bus comes thru & drops the kids off. It made me very nervous having strangers coming thru my neighborhood when some of the kids go home to an empty house. Should I call the police next time they come thru?

Are we about to "turn the corner" in Iraq?

For the past 3 and one half years we have heard " We will endure, We will win, We will not turn our backs on the new Government, We are about to turn the corner in the war against the Insurgents," but remember this........The same was said during the Vietnam war and all of you here know what happened in that war. Is shame coming to the USA soon?

VAT and the wrongness of it?

If VAT is only to be paid on luxury items then why do we as adults have to pay VAT on clothes. When you think about it, childrens clothes are VAT exempt, yet adult clothes are not. If children clothes are classed as necessity why not adult clothes. Afterall, if we dont wear clothes as adults we get arrested for indecency. Therefore we have to buy clothes, rendering them a non luxury or a necessary item that should be vat exempt. If the government issued each citizen with a standard issue of clothes or could buy them vat free then we could at least have choice of paying the vat or not. This means that the government is extrorting money by menace (if you dont put on clothes that are taxed then we will arest you). Should this be allowed? Why are we being held to ransom in this way. I know people will say buy second hand clothes etc but why should we? There is no choice

Does a bicameral Legislative branch make sense anymore, as the 17th Amendment erased the differences?

The concept of a bicameral legislature was based on representation of the two different political units who ceded power to create the federal government - the states and the people. The concept was they would both act to represent their respective sources - the House to the people and the Senate to the states.

But the 17th Amendment changed Senators from being selected by the state governments to being elected by general vote. In essence, this eliminated the balancing factors in the Legislature, removed the concerns of the states from affecting the FedGov, and has led to even greater Federal usurpation of states' powers.

Has the populist sentiment that voted in the 17th Amendment caused significant and irreparable damage to the US? Does the Senate do anything for us that the House does not already do, or could not do just as well?

Should the 17th Amendment be repealed?

Should we invade Iran?

This foolishness of the USA attacking other countries must come to an end. The new reason to attack Iran is because they want to develop nukes. So what?
Countries develop nukes as a deterrent from invasion not as a weapon to invade another country. The only reason the USSR develop nukes was because they were afraid the USA was going to invade them, and the buzz in the USA after WWII was just that. The USSR feared the USA for just cause. Iran is in fear of the USA for just cause. I mean look, you all want to invade Iran. If you were in their place, wouldn't you want a few nukes?
Every country that has developed nuclear weapons has done so to protect their borders. No one will sent ground troops into a country that has nuclear capabilities. When the USSR developed nukes, we were sure that was going to be the end of the world. It wasn't. When Pakistan developed nukes, we were sure that was the end of the world. It wasn't.
Just listen to your own rhetoric here on Y!A. Do you think Iran has just cause to fear an invasion from the USA? It's so ironic that a president who was elected because of his morals turns out to have no morals at all.
Colin Powell for President! We need a man of reason.

Should the CIA use LSD in it's interrogations?

Imagine a Muslim tripping in a cell with some Pink Floyd, Ummagumma playing and some agents dressed up in Mohammed outfits telling him there are no virgins left. By the end of the trip they'd be spilling the beans to the first person they see.

Was I in the wrong?

I have a certain pet peeve concerning public toilets, in that it annoys me when people urinate all over a toilet seat and don't bother to clean it off, let alone flush. Such was the case a few weekends ago when I had to use the public toilet at a local department store. Some young punk had just left the stall and headed for the sink, so I went for that stall. He had just peed all over everything and left it like that.

I said, "Dude, you mind cleaning up your mess?"

"Up yours, douchebag!" Was his response.

So I dragged the little wretch into the stall and cleaned the toilet seat off with his head, using his hair as a mop. I then threw him out of the stall and he bolted out of the restroom, leaving me in peace to do my business. Needless to say, a police officer was waiting for me when I exited the restroom, and he wrote up a report. Looks like this will be going to court. Any speculation on how it may go?
