ok, how does this make sense? anyone making minimum wage clearly has an easy job - hmm, making french fries? yeah, real tough. checking people out at walmart? THAT'S DIFFICULT. wait, sweeping the floors at the high school - OH MY GOD MY BRAIN IS GOING TO EXPLODE.

don't people realize that raising the minimum wage is counter-intuitive in a rewards-based (mainly capitalistic) society? let's give MORE money to the people who are unwilling to go out and create real skills for themselves!!!

Under political pressure from Republicans Bush posted many documents captured in the Iraq war on the web to help make the case that there was justification for Bush's war. In those documents were VERY DETAILED plans on HOW to build nuclear weapons from before 1991 when Saddam was his buddy.

Last night the White House finally shut down the web site after the New York Times asked about complaints from weapons experts that Bush was GIVING nuclear weapons plans to the terrorists.
The weapons experts were shocked by the public disclosures. Bush talks about fighting a war on terrorism yet he gives terrorists the most detailed a-bomb plans that have ever been published.

How could they put nuclear plans on the Internet without knowing that they were there?
The Republicans are putting the safety of the world at risk for pure political purposes!!!

Why are Bush & the Republicans HELPING
the terrorists get nuclear weapon information?

WHY?

Earlier this week I saw a post on here where a woman was talking about hiring a private eye to investigate her daughters boyfriend. Somebody mention the link http://background-records.net/ as a good place to find info online. Well I checked out the site and entered my sisters boyfriends name and found out that he was convicted of assualt in 1996 and served 24 months in prison. I know this is him because the name, date of birth, and address are all the same. I am sure my sister doesn't know (and I am damn sure our dad doesn't know).......should I tell my sister or our dad? I don't know how to handle this situation.

In a few weeks I am going to be sitting at Thanksgiving dinner with my family. I can't go through that day holding onto this secret but I am afraid that my sister will hate me for telling her.

Do any of you understand that no matter who is in office NONE of them will present you or me.

Many are already gearing up for fundraised to get reelected. That is their only function is to get re elected.

They only work 100 days now, two years ago 139 days a year and most make $165,000 to do nothing.

Any good presentative who wants to do good ends up eating a lone and is know as a piria.

Throw them all out the good bad and ugly. Do not vote party vote person. Shake up the system.

Its November 4th, and I have yet to see any Remembrance Day poppies for sale in any of the shops within a couple of miles of where I live. I always wear a poppy at this time of year, but I can't buy one anywhere! Is this some kind of childish political statement on behalf of the shopkeepers?

Clinton's war in Somalia cost us 31 men, and Bush's war in Iraq has cost us 2,826 men and is still counting...

Sounds like Clinton was better for our military then Bush, or do you like our troops killed?

Who gives you witty, clever answers? Who calls you names, rather than humor you, if they don't like your question? Or is it a wash?

I don't want to leave out the Libertarians - but they always seem to give wise answers. (In my opinion.)

I was charged with a DUI with consent (not on my record). I have 6 months probation, 10:00 curfew and random drug screens. Do you think my PO will drug test me on my first visit with him 4 days after sentencing?

Given that Blair will soon be interviewed by the police, under caution which treats him as a suspect, a position I have always held him in, is it right that the AG should be his close advisor and, at the same time, advise for or against proscecution, based upon the grounds that lack of faith in the two main political parties may not be deemed to be in the public interest.

Though proved corrupt and unfit for public office, should they just get off, and if so, what authority will the Government have as an example to others.

While this is my question, just let me add, to get you going, as it were, given that the murder and mayhem in Iraq will escalate far beyond the control of any authority if Saddam Hussain is found guilty and hanged, will it be, therefore, deemed not in the public interest to proscecute him further ???

We shall, I fear, see the two faces of justice here, one for him and one for myself.

Very eloquent denouncement of the cynical desperate lies of our national embarrassment. We, the American people, have had enough. Let's hope the next two years go by quickly, until we can replace the lame duck with a *real* leader.

Swift Boats for the Truth derailed Kerry's Presidential bid in 2004 backed by Republican's money and garbage can ethics, but when Dean started fighting back, the Republicans acted as if they had been ambushed at the OK, GO AHEAD AND PLAY BY YOUR RULES CORAL. Fact, Republicans love two things, money and power but we can not expect them to admit it, but we can fight back and play by their rules, even if others are afraid to do so.

I heard on net that Saddam is inches away fronm conviction so BUSH team will announce this on Sunday to get a bump in votes on Tuesday.
reasons
this makes him look more like he has done something and we are winning
it will prompt a huge uprising in Iraq and USA people will be afraid and then not want to change horses midstream.
Bush can declare victory ( again)
It will rally the base
