in the hopes of getting ones yahoo account suspended .......... do these people who report others for no actual reason actually (anyone can report anyone because yahoo doesnt look at the complaints to verify if the complaints are legit) think that getting ones account supended will stop a person from setting up a new account and asking the questions wit the same views and do they actually think that this will slow or change ones mind or views about illegal IMMIGRANTS mostly from Mexico...........It sure will not slow me down or change my views about the ILLEGALS .......

How about your views and would getting your account supended slow you down or change your views ...?....

It's not like folks are pouring over some unguarded border; there isn't a border. And what does that say about our proposed wall? Won't they find other means to get here by water?

Why are green (or 3rd) party candidates often not invited to debates and their issues and policies not given equal coverage?

This happened in my state (TN) recently with the race for U.S. Senate when the green party candidate, Chris Lugo, was not included in the debates between Bob Corker and Harold Ford Jr. in Memphis and Chattanooga. He is a viable third party candidate and went through the same steps as the major party candidates, so why are his views going widely unheard? I am an independant voter and do a lot of extra research about the candidates to make sure that I know the policies and political histories of the person I vote for. However, many people don't do this as they believe they can gain all the information they need through televised debates & newspaper coverage. Thus my question, WHY, why are all parties not included in debates and their issues/policies not given equal coverage!? Doesn't this lead to voters who are not fully informed of their choices?

If women seek equal rights and a man can't force us to have an abortion or keep a baby then shouldn't men have the right to a paper "abortion" in the same time frame a women has. I bet it would cut down on single mothers, the women who get pregnant to "trap" a man. If women knew men would have to be tied to them for 18 years maybe they would think twice before getting pregnant to keep thier man.

people who serve their country should be respected for being willing to die for their country and protect the freedoms we enjoy. so if you disagree with a war or policy why rag on the military? why not rag on the politicians who sent these barave men and women to war, they are just following orders. many soldiers dont agree with the war either but they follow orders because they love their country.

During the early 70's I was an Intelligence Specialist in the Navy. I had differant clearances above Top Secret and was involved with mission planning of nuclear strike missions into the U.S.S.R. (S.I.O.P. - single integrated operational planning). Now I have been contacted by a writer who wants to interview me about my experiences and job back then. I seriously doubt anything I knew then has much to do with what goes on nowdays, but I'm not sure. And don't know if I should comply. Who would I contact to learn how much or what I can talk about?

For starters...Iraq is the most AMAZING MILITARY VICTORY the United States has had since WW2. There is NO doubt that Operation Iraqi Freedom was the fastest "military victory" in the HISTORY of warfare!!!!!! It was the fastest land, sea, and air invasion since the history of recorded history. IRAQ HAD THE 4th LARGEST ARMY IN THE WORLD...America cut through it in 4 weeks and removed SH from power!!! PERIOD...However, Iraq is being lost "
POLITICALLY"...NOT MILITARILY!!!!!....We won the "actual war in 4 weeks".....RECONSTRUCTION IS MORE Difficult!!!!!. US and UK soldiers are dying because we are trying to AVOID CIVILIAN CASUALTIES...IF we didnt care.....we would just carpet bomb.....and would have left IRAQ a "Glass Parking Lot" 3 years ago...but Americans are BETTER THAN that...we are not EUROPEANS!!!!....We care about human life and die for it...almost 3,000 now....we die for the sake of the Iraqi people!otherwise we would just eradicate the whole country! America doesnt do that

The students at Columbia University stopped a speaker from talking at their school because they didn't agree with his message, but the defend to the death someone's right to express themselves. Are they as repressive as Hitler and Stalin?

Has George Bush stopped anyone from speaking their minds against him? Are Columbia students more repressive than George Bush?

...for treason and helping kill thousands of their fellow New Yorkers in a future attack on NYC for exposing the intelligence community's method of catching terrorists?

After another attack will they claim that it was another failing of the Bush administration to catch the guys who did it?

Is the New York Times so Liberal that it's retarded?
