Does it really matter who you vote for? Does it really matter if you vote at all?

Australia has laws that govern people who give speeches and then following a rally they have encouraged people to go act out the things they said. They are subject to have their property seized and jail time. Do you think other countries should adopt these rules or does this infringe on freespeech.

My friend seems not been honest in his business dealings with me. I gave him a substantial sum of money but his response to me is not favourable.

I know this might seem like a crazy question. Anyway, I'm just curious if electoral alliances can be formed for elections. I know about the fusion voting/ electoral fusion bans but is there a state that's against the idea of electoral pacts/alliances. Serious and detailed answers please.

I hate to be one of those people who pushes the abortion debate (as it will undoubtably begin once I post this), but something has been bothering me.

Why do members of the religious right automatically assume that an unwanted pregnancy is the product of having sex sans protection? Why do they think that people who have been raped should have to live with that trauma? Do they not realize that partial-birth abortions are all but completely outlawed, that an average abortion is simply a miscarriage, carried out before a heart has even developed?

And most bothersome of all, how many of those who insist that adoption is the best way, have adopted a child themselves? How many have saved children from the black hole that is the adoption system? Thought so.

I am trying to understand, so feel free to post. How can you oppose abortion but support the death penalty? I don't get it.

Anyone with a brain knows that marijuana is one of the most harmless "drugs" that exist. Few would argue that it is anywhere near as bad as alcohol or cigarettes, yet it is stigmatized far worse. Where is the logic in this? There seems to be quite a disconnect between the numerous studies done on it, and the governments harsh "anti" stance towards it. What do you really think about this?

Just look at this. Sanders from Vermont and Lieberman from Connecticut. They can form a party that can cover New England and then you never know. I know it's crazy but wouldn't it be something. Besides, New England's very special in their own way and they can decide to vote for a third party that has a chance to win not only the 2008 Pres elections but also get good representation in Congress. What do you think?

This board is filled with people writing they hate this group of people or that group of people because of their political views or their sexuality or their view on immigration even!

I don't understand this kind of venom. Is it genuine or not?

I could only truly hate someone who attempted to harm (physically or otherwise) my family or friends.

How about you?

I may not be remembering my political science classes as well as I'd like, but I thought that state law was stronger than federal law. If that is the case, how can the federal government put people in jail for legally aquired medical marijuana when California has passed a law for it? And if that's true, how do we get California to stand up for its states rights against the federal government? Please enlighten me.
