and other countries and the people of these countries don't see a penny in benefits, shouldn't Americans demand our government show accountability for all the money we send to these governments? The people of these countries don't see a penny in benefits because their government is corrupt. What changes could we, Americans, make to assure the PEOPLE in Mexico got that assistance instead of that corrupt government?

I love it when we get accused of being cissies and taritors because we refuse to accept that a great county like America should stoop to the lowest common denominator. Occupation of a sovereign nation is wrong,.... taking our freedoms through ill-thought out legislation is wrong....fighting an ideology is wrong.... abusing people's religion and creating religious wars is wrong..... arresting and killing known terrorists is RIGHT....irregardless of your political beliefs.

"The improper communications between Congressman Mark Foley and former House Congressional pages is unacceptable and abhorrent. It is an obscene breach of trust," Hastert, R-Ill., Majority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Majority Whip Roy Blunt, R-Mo., said in a written statement Saturday evening. "His immediate resignation must now be followed by the full weight of the criminal justice system."

Is there an unbiased site out there about the Stem Cell and Cures Initiative that will be on the Nov. ballot in Missouri. Being a Catholic and being exposed to the media, I go from one extreme to the other about hearing about it. the Catholic Church says it's completely bad because it destroys life (since the Church believes that life starts at conception). the media says it's only good and the like. I just want to get my facts straights even though I won't be voting either way on it (for one thing, I'm not a registered voter).

Don't get me wrong, I'm not FOR the big invasion of privacy that Bush and his cronies has been trying to push, but I'm not quite sure why people would be so up in arms. Don't you think that terrorist or criminal plots could actually be foiled in this way? Wouldn't the benefits outweigh the cons? And are the people who are angered by this those people with something to hide - like all those rich and powerful people in Congress who voted against it ?

I ask this because if you support the OCCUPATION of IRAQ, you are doing our country a great dis-service.

We are bound to lose and therefore you cannot care about our nation.. right?

All the great thinkers of this country and beyond now believe this is the case.

I am all for civil unions with equal rights to a marriage, but I am AGAINST gay marriage. I think marriage is between a man and a woman only. If you want to marry somone of the same sex fine, but don't call it marriage. I think it is a matter of respect. There are men in this world and women in this world. Just because we have two different names doesn't mean one is less important or less equal. So why don't many gay people or their supports accept civil unions with same rights as marriage? Civil unions and marriage same legal status, different names but not difference in equality. I think that would be fair compromise.

Hello, my name is Patricia. My son's school teacher called me today, and told me that he was misusing his computer time on this forum, and yelling (swear word) Jews during class.

This is SERIOUS question. Has my son, who supposedly used the names 'Jon Scary' and 'Ah-ha' been spreading Nazi propoganda?

And is there a way to ban his account from this area so that he can still use his email?

I'm sorry if he hurt you, it will NOT happen again :( Sorry

I am a district campaign manager for a democrat running for congress. In my district we have a racist area. Kind of like where they had the Rodney King trial. A lot believe me.
Anyway an eighty five year old African American female wants to do precinct walks there. It is like sending Rosa Parks to do precinct walks at a Klan Rally.
I am scared the walk might not be good for her health; mentally or physically. What do I do?

This a SERIOUS question. I've recently learned that my child (who supposedly uses these names) has been sending hate mail to innocent human beings.

Has he been on lately, and if so, has he been a good boy, or a naughty little snot, just like his father?!!!!

This is SERIOUS, so please answer honestly.

If given the opportunity in a nationwide election would you vote to legalize marijuana and why?
It has been illegal for over 50 years,it's use is no less prevelant now than it ever was,it is safer than almost every legal over the counter or prescription drug currently on the market,so please remind me,why is it illegal??
Alchohol kills in excess of 15,000 people a year in America if you only count the traffic fatalities,tobacco kills what ten times that,and yet marijuana is illegal. It would also be nice if more Americans got educated on the subject by putting it on the ballot,to expose the mentality of those who first banned it and those who fight hardest to keep it banned,the floor debates alone are a hoot including a comment by one senator about marijuanas effects causing black farmhands to lose inhibitions and go after white women,and he didn't use the word black. I think it's about time America put our priorities in order and this would be a start.

Please specify caliber of the bullets you quote, type (lead slug, full metal jacket, hollow point etc.), and which buyer, since I assume the police force and the army gets a better price per bullet than a walmart shopper! Also, please specify your country - I'm in Australia :)

Those here that will not countenance the fact that the Govt. could have orchestrated 9/11, or would pass laws to restrict our freedoms claim they need arms because they cannot trust the Government totally and may need to defend themselves.

Is this another example of cherry-picking hypocrisy?

He branded teenage buttocks at Yale, stalked a teenaged girl at the Texas Expo, the independent governor candidate in Nevada says he's a bisexual, having a long affair with the ambassador to Poland.
When he killed Karla Faye Tucker in 1998, and smirked about it, that sealed his "reputation".
So the congressman from Florida goes down, and sex paralyzed the last Clinton years.
Is the branded tattoo that Bush burned into so many of his henchmen's buttocks going to be his undoing?
