What has Bush done about the 400,000 dead there?
In Iraq over 300,000 civilians are dead, they are in fact liberated. Iraq is in civil war now. In Afghanastan the opium crop is up 60 percent and the Taliban has gained back most of what they lost.
BTW, Did you hear Bush say he did not understand "outrages on human dignaty". "what does that mean, it's vauge."

Here in California there have been a few political ads that are very negative against candidate Smith and then the last sentence states that this is paid for by Jones. Jones says nothing about himself. Would you vote for Jones or would you ignore the negative and vote for Smith just because of the negative ads? (The names are not real.)

A reckless woman broad-sided into my car causing injury to my neck and spine; I can still walk. The cop ticketed me for failing to yield; his police report contained gaps & errors. I was not made aware of my legal right to trial by jury (violation of my civil right). The judge found me guilty beyond a reasonable doubt dedspite various testimonial inconsistencies. I earned an 'F' for the first time in one college class and a 'D' for tardiness in another. The DMV failed to transfer my registration from my salvage title car to my new truck and I'm being fined for not insuring a car that's illegal to drive on the road (because of the salvaged title/unrepaired vehicle). I feel extremely violent urges overcoming me and I can't think of a satisfactory alternative to breaking the law to make myself feel better. I have no money and even less patience for ignorance. Can you suggest a safe alternative to acting-out violence as a resolution to my angry/fury?

What is wrong with gay marriage?

Now before you go touting the Bible, understand that I am agnostic and do not believe that the Bible holds any relevance nor should any laws be created because they are told in the Bible.

Also, the idea of it being sacred has long been thrown out the window when we started allowing common law marriages (which means forced due to some circumstance) and the fact that about half of marriages end in divorce (and more that should).

So based of this, what is wrong with 2 people who love each other (even if it is not the same way you love someone) not be allowed to be married? Why must we make laws to try and stop this, kinda like the Catholics tried to make laws to stop pagans, Jews, and left handed people (All in league with the devil)?

“I’m certain that if my husband and his national security team had been shown a classified report entitled ‘Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States,’ he would have taken it more seriously than history suggests it was taken by our current president and his national security team,” she told reporters.

But he was Hillary! PDB 12/4/1998, Subject: Bin Ladin Preparing to Hijack US Aircraft and Other Attacks. In fact Clintons PDB was worse it had Sam missles being used also and was just 4 months after the Embassy bombings in Africa.. Other than that the reports are the same with vague information and that we (the FBI and CIA) are working on it.

One can compare the two PDBs in the 9/11 Commission report on pages128/129 and 261/262. If you don`t have the book you can see them at: http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/whitehouse/pdb_6aug01.htm

Hillary knows your not going to actually read them.
What do you think?

doesnt something happen?

like say if a 17 year old had sexual intercourse with a 13 year old, wouldn't there be charges against the 17 year old even though he is a minor (even if the sex was voluntary)?

I've always thought that it was illegal, but is it really?
cause my best friend is having sex voluntarily at 13 and i thought that minor-minor sex was illegal.

can you help me?
is minor-minor sex illegal?

I bought a car last year and my mom co-signed, (i dont have the greatest credit) . She came to my place of work 9-25-06 and took my car stating that since she is on the title, she feels entitled to it. Her car was recently totaled and she thinks because I live with my fiancee i can just use his, (b.s.!!!) I have proof that I have made every car and insurance payment. I went to her house the last 3 days and can't find my car. I told her either she gives it back or pays me the $2,000 iv'e paid into it and takes my name off, and she can have it and make the rest of the payments I am a single mom and cant afford a lot of attorney fees. Can someone please help? Im in tucson, az

Too often in my life--especially in times of war or political turmoil--I've heard someone speak of another country as if it is one unified body of like-minded individuals. This can't possibly be true for any country on the face of the earth. Yet there's talk of Iraq hating America, America distrusting Iran, Iran hating Israel, America caused this, France caused that, Britain thinks this, Pakistan does that...

I realize that some of this is a short-hand form of speech, pervasive even in the news media. But I think it does some damage.

When you criticize a country and its world policies, are you able to distinguish those policies, and the governments which created them, from the good citizens of that country? Do you realize not everyone--in any country--thinks alike, or agrees with what their government does?

Can we stop the ridiculous assumptions, and the resulting fear and hatred?

I expect a few hateful or mindless comments, but hope for intelligent, rational ones, too.

I asked for Hugo Chavez email address today and got 9 answers after his speech about President Bush in the United Nations. 8 out of the 9 responses would not impress Christ if you were one of His followers. 8 out of the 9 answers received were not in my opinion Christian remarks about Mr. Chavez. So are you Christian and if so just in name only or to be a follower must we do as he does?

say?

If any country, you pick one, I don't care, did water boarding, extremes in temperture, sleep deprivation, "stress positions" such as forced standing for hours on end what would you say.

If any nation, you pick one, I don't care, put people in a cell, without charges being filed, not allowed contact with an attorney, or to see evidence against them, what would you say?

Isn't W's policy the exact same thing we charge Sadam with? Doesn't that make us as bad as them? Why can and does the US do the exact same thing it deems the act of a terrorist.

If you think it makes the world a better place then I think you are mistaken. But that's just me.

I move to the north after a marriage but i prefer the US. I have been going to the UK and Aus sites on ask but I see so many US related questions on this site and so many negative US remarks.

Aus and the UK do not do this.

You all seem to have serious love hate relationship with us. You seem to love to call us names and then post soooo many questions about what you are studying about us.

Honestly it is a little odd.

please share your views.. was i the only one shocked by what was said, and what wasnt said? No justification, but i can certainly see why terrorism is growing.. the US and UK governments seem to be overly concerned with Judaism & Islam/ ..Israel & Palestine.. These are the route causes of most conflct around the world. Am i wrong in saying religion is evil, and not a path to God but a path to something else??
