Anytime monolithic cultures become diversified, be it by race or religion, balkanization begins. I feel America is no different, regardless of the 'equality' concept we supposedly have in this country.

Big Business and Oil companies are the main reason why our leaders do ANYTHING in this country? Our leaders are merely puppets to this Goliath companies. If they actually listened to those who weren't stuffing their pockets, would this country A) have gone to war? B) still be at war? and C) have the entire world hate us because of our foreign policies?

Iraqi has aprox. 26,000,000 citizens, American has 300,000,000. Bush admits about 30,000 Iraqis have died as a result of the war (Others estimate substantially more). Using the same ratio of deaths to population that would be equalivant to 345,000 American deaths. (100 times more than our 9/11 deaths)

For every American soldier killed, 2,788 to date, 20,887 have been wounded. Applying the same ratio to determine Iraqi wounded per Iraqi deaths (30,000) , and adjusting for population differences that would be equalivant to 2,584,050 Americans injured. Any wonder we are not popular in Iraq?

pretense that the general's are controling the war. If the Dems gained power would THEY let the generals run the war? I have a bad feeling that the worst is yet to come. This is kinda fun though, what do ya think?

Is this actualy needed? I am not talking about the immediate economic impacts, I mean the long term ones.
I admit, marriage adds stability to a family, a nest egg. but say marriage never existed, I believe that there would have been established other means of stability, because a family is a family, and some sort of family institution is unavoidable.
With that idea, I want to find out your opinion, what ways is marriage a deterent to economic growth, and what ways does it encourage it, and your opionion as a whole.
I want you to stretch your minds, give me the most comprehensive answer possible, simple, not complicated, and please dont try to be sassy with me, this is a quality question, I want quality in return.

I Voted for Ronald Reagan and the First George Bush. But I did not Vote for George W. Bush because I felt (as I still do) that he wanted to be President for his own personal gain and Glory. So I voted Democrat. Am I still a Republican?

One problem with the minimum wage is that it is the same minimum wage for everybody, from teenagers flipping burgers to entry-level skilled laborers. Obviously, a $6.50 wage is not enough for a high-school graduate who is starting out on his own, but $9.00 is too much for a 16-year-old peddling french fries.

So why don't we create a multi-tiered minimum wage?

TEEN - Anyone 18 or younger, single with no dependents - $5.75/hr

UNSKILLED - Anyone 19+ OR Married OR with dependents, with less than 2 years work history at this level - %7.00/hr

SKILLED - Anyone at any age with 2 years of work history at the UNSKILLED level - $9.00/hr

So a kid might get a job flipping burgers for 2 years at the TEEN level, then move up to UNSKILLED upon High School graduation. After two years, he moves up to SKILLED.

A 17-year-old who is married or has a child, though, can go immediately into the UNSKILLED category.

Would this be good for business and workers? Opinions?

capable of babysitting a civil war in iraq? I made a suggestion that we leave, and OTHER countries take over for awhile. The answers are always 'if we leave, they willl fail". Now, I realize if we leave them ALONE this may happen. But are we really the only military capable of helping the Iraqis? Perhaps if we left things would calm down a bit, and the military could actually succeed?
