"Deficit had shrunk from $413 billion two years ago to $248 billion. The federal government collected $2.407 trillion in taxes in FY2006, $122 billion more than originally forecast back in February. "

Notice to libs: Tax revenues increased because of strong economic activity, not an increase in tax rates (as liberal pundits claimed was necessary

Examples are needed. Go ahead speak your oppinion just remember to keep it clean. I ask this question because there is so much wrong in this world and very little right. I though that if we had a good chance, we could maybe try to fix some mistakes caused by other people, to infulence the lives of everyone, and set an example to the younger ones.

1. Make you more inclined to vote for him.
2. Less inclined to vote for her.
3. Suspicious of their motives
4. Other (explain)

I have to say I generally go with 3. I'm a Christian, but I don't go around when interviewing for a job and tell a prospective employer that I have an active faith life. Maybe if they ask about extracurricular activities I'll mention that I'm a Sunday School teacher, but it's not something I walk in proclaiming.

(PS - the ad I'm talking about is one where the candidate says, "faith and family are the cornerstone of my life," or something similar to that.

The winning response will need to provide a three-part answer. One for the recent history of the US, one for the entire US history, and a detailed explaination why.

If you want to Bush-bash, fine, BUT you MUST provide relevent, verifiable SOURCES with your answers.

Ten points goes to the most detailed, well thought out, and researched answer.

The NEOCONS have made a big mistake as we all know in invading Iraq.. Now they want our brave military people to pay for those mistakes with their lives... Leaving Iraq is the honorable thing to do.. Staying in Iraq is to lose more lives, Allied and Iraqi.

Wonderful way for CONS to fight a war from the safety of America.

Is Gross Domestic Product by itself useful or is the GDP with the Purchasing Power Parity taken into account more useful?
I'm writting an essay about GDP
- China's GDP (standard) is around 4 trillion - however, China's GDP with PPP is 9 trillion.
What is the benefit of PPP, and which should I use?

Why do we go to war when we can just surrender or somthing? Because what are we trying to prove by going to war? That we can kill like a bajillion people? And destroy other peoples lands when we just stuck our nose into their buisness? What would happen if we just didnt fight back? Would we all die?

I once heard about something that said that if your molested as a child you have up to thirty years to come forward about it... I think this may play into the fact that a lot of people are scared when their younger and that by 30 years if you were going to say anything you would have or something...

not sure if this is true but seriously wondering (As a freind of mine finally admitted to being sexually assaulted as a young child, help would be really appreciated)

I have ADHD, am in my mid twenties and once I started taking medicine (Ritalin) for it my entire life changed, along with therapy it was like a window opened. I am actually concentrating and I love it.

My neighbor is a Scientologist and once she found out is trying to convince me to come to her Scientologist center for a test, and wants me to get off my medication, she says ADD does not exist and I have bad thetins or something I need to get out.

I said my medicine is working very well and it has NO side effects except for decreased appetite. She keeps asking me to come with her to the center and said I might have to bring some money. She comes over to our house daily now.

What do you think? i don't know a lot about Scientology but my mom hates her
