No other country in the world uses that form of voting. In European countries where voting is done through computers, a paper ballot is always given, too.

Why is it that only in the USA since the 2002 elections e-vote with no paper ballots has become the norm? Isn't it easier to commit fraud when nearly half of the counties voting in November will be using Diebold AccuVote or Sequoia machines that leave no trail?

Are you following up the news on that?

How can anyone use the word illegal and then say "well, its ok, they have it bad in their country." or "well, they have been here for so long, they can't go back now." or whatever excuse. ITS ILLEGAL-what if we all did illegal things? Would it be ok if we are poor or have it bad?

Experience declares that man is the only animal which devours his own kind; for I can apply no milder term to the government of Europle, and to the general prey of the rich on the poor. - T. Jefferson


Take Mankind in general; they are vicious, their passions may be operated upon - A. Hamilton


War is not at all such a difficult art as people think. In reality, it would seem that he is vanquished who is afraid of the adversary, and that the whole sectret of war is this.


The interest of the state is in intimate connection with those of the rich individuals belonging to it.

Relax guys, this is just for a school assignment. I don't really think men suck. The question is as broad as "why are women better than men" and "through history, how have men messed up the earth?" etc.

First of all: Considering I have heard a couple sources condemn ALL Republicans based on the actions (or inactions) on the part of Foly and this Dennis Hastert guy (who!?!?). My question on this is: Can not a Republican be a moral person, although he be a Republican?Or a 'Christian Conservative'?

Second of all: Can you prove, logically, and with gooooooood reason, that ALL Christian Conservatives and Republicans in general are morally bad people, based on their political 'allegiance'?

And Finally: WHAT is so 'HORRIBLE' about the Fox News network? Is there something actually immoral about having a discussion on TV that actually represents the Republican view when for decades Liberals have dominated the air?

And now, as I will ask people in future questions, I beg of you to PLEASE at least TRY to keep it nice...?

Why do we have to conform to them? You all made your point clear about the English/Spanish ballots. In Japan, it is mandatory that they learn elnglish. I have met people from all the world and I have traveled all over Europe and they all speak english. I live in a city that has people from Africa, Egypt, Iran, Russia, and Kosavo, to name a few, and all of them speak English. So, the question isn't why do they have to conform to the American language, but why does the rest of the world have to conform to them?

A 17 year old boy has sex with a 15 year old girl. it's consensual! They end up having a baby, but now the father of the girl is threatening that he has up to 5 years to have the boy thrown in jail. Is this correct? They were both under age when it occured.

Why is it we keep hearing that illegal immigration is a complex problem? Why do the politicians worry about offending people who are committing a crime? Suddenly speaking against those who commit a criminal act is regarded as "hate speech." We seem to be bouncing off each other as we rush to offer drivers licenses, medical care, employment opportunities and even education as well as college breaks to those "unfortunate aliens" who got here "the hard way."
I'm sorry the "hard way" was the unlawful way, and the truth is these people are here unlawfully and when caught should be punished and/or deported and those who assist these illegals (including state legislators and judges) should be prosecuted for aiding and abetting a criminal act. That's not discrimination any more than locking up a bank robber is discriminatory.

Do you believe it would be racist to close the border with Mexico and not the Canadian border? Do you have a reason for your position?

BTW, I'm american. I just noticed that if an american person is challanged about how this country isn't so great, they start swearing and telling you to shut up. Are Americans brainwashed into thinking this is a great country that was developed honestly and fair? If someone brings up something that happened in history, Americans get mad and haughty and tell the person to leave if they don't like it. Why should I leave? ( even though I am seriously thinking about it) Ignoring the wrong that went on and is still going on doesn't make anything go away, and it just makes America look even less desirable, in my eyes. Yes, there are some great things about America. But there are some bad things too. Why can't anyone else see this?
