Politics & Government - 30 October 2006

Someone asked (joking I assume) why we don't send Chuck Norris to Iraq, and people actually responded thinking he would do better than our military!

Do people really think that a fictional character like "Walker, Texas Ranger" would stand a chance against trained killers?

Even when Chuck Norris was the "World" Karate Champion ages ago, do you think that's the same skills needed at all to survive being deployed in a war zone?

Seriously, do you people think Movies are real?

i believe we are heading to a communist country for these reasons: in communist countries, the money and earnings are split within the people and thus, many do not want to work because they will make the same amount of money as a worker

TODAY: many people {illegal aliens} and liars, they get welfare, FREE health care, FREE perscription drugs, and some got gas cards when gas was very expensive. i know someone on welfare who did work on houses under the table, and messed up his back, and had surgery and plates put in his back {how many thousands did that cost taxpayers}

and for the regular working man: wages are not going up much {.3%}, healthcare has gone through the roof, state and local taxes are rediculous. and the SS and Medicare is imminent to go bankrupt. and the government is cracking down on free speech. {my dad, who is on strike is not allowed to picket, and the army moniters their troop's blogs and websites}

all characteristics of communism

Ok, so im a sophmore at Johns Hopkins University in baltimore, i.e. one of the major research and medical institutions in the entire world.

On saturday, the Sigma Chi fraternity posted on facebook (college myspace) an extremely racist party invite called "Halloween in the hood." In the invitation, the social chair of the party writes that baltimore is an "HIV pit" and refered to blacks as "scallywhops, hoodrats, and skig skags." Infront of the party house Sigma Chi hung a skeleton that was meant to resemble a black person.

The whole school right now is an uproar.
The NAACP of baltimore are also involved.

What do you guys think?

I'm a Republican and I know I could never be a Democrat. I have to much common sense. I'm already disqualified from being a Democrat.

But would you ever switch parties?

I tried in this question, and got broad links to things like "oreily sucks dot com"

Here, Let me hold your hand, andgive you an example of what specific means. Here are two stories, about the same thing.

The fox story tells you all the information, including the things that look bad for the bush administration, while the washington post concentrates only on the negative information toward the bush administration:

http://tinyurl.com/fkymn


Do you think you understand the question, now? Since you are all so quick to denounce fox news, give me a SPECIFIC EXAMPLE of why their reporting is bad, and compare it to another story.

if you can not, then that makes you a hypocrite.

I will leave it open for others to vote on the best answer.

This may be a lil controversial but...... Why do we(Americans) put all the blame on the Iraqiis'. Do you really think that the Iraqiis' would just attack us like that?? We must of did something to them....don't you think. Now are past is just coming back to us. I say blame the U.S government because 99% of Egyptians don't like Americans. What is that telling you?? They know something we don't know that the U.S. GOVERNMENT is not telling us??

I am a registed democrat so I dont hate them, but they just try to please to many people across the board and appeal to all the voters instead of focusing on the people who would actually vote for them

I've noticed a lot of anti-French sentiment on this forum. Is it relating to the French opposition to military action in Iraq?

It's hardly foolish to not want to fight if the UN finds no WMD is it?
3000 French families won't be missing a family member this Christmas will they?

Are there logical reasons for your hatred, or is this just sour grapes and bigotry?
