So Bloomberg decided that because he's a health nut, and because he can, all NY restaurants will no longer be allowed to use Trans Fats in their food. There's two deadlines...July 1st 2007 for some places and July 1st 2008 for others. It's not about the Trans Fat thing at all but, since when did we get politicians telling us what we can and can't eat? Not saying that Trans Fat is good, but regardless, if I wanna eat a "fat fry", let me. It's VERY upsetting to see that the land of the free is taking away so many freedoms...yes, it always starts with the little things....I wouldn't be surprised if there will be a law banning us from picking our nose, or whatever crazy thing these politicians come up with. They started with the smoking ban, now the fat thing...and this is only the beginning. They need to worry about the big things, and leave the other things up to us: We need to make our own decisions and soon, THEY will make them for us. It's scary.

I've heard that one reason why Gore was unpopular with so many people in 2000 was because he came across as pompous and intellectually arrogant, whereas Bush came across as just plain, simple folk. I've also heard that that was the reason why Adlai Stevenson lost during the 50s. I once also heard a conservative commentator say that we should depend more on Midwestern "common sense" rather than East Coast "intellect". It just sounded like empty political rhetoric to me, but I have to ask, what's wrong with being an intellectual and being erudite? It reminds me so much of high school, and I have to say that the nerds would probably have a better idea of how to run things than the dumb jocks.

Democrats alway point as one of Bush's failures to the fact that jobs are going over seas.

Maybe, but as pointed out by any economist or even anyone who has a clue about the situation, it paves the way for more skilled, and thus, higher paying jobs.

The problem isn't outsourcing, its lack of education and training, which I and many fiscal conservatives have been saying for a long time.

Let the thumbs down begin, but at least read the article before you judge.

With the Democrats recently winning back the Senate and House, the resignation of Rumsfeld and Bolton, how will this really affect George Bush's policies? In the last six years, the President has established many new laws (Military Commissions Act, for one) in place that garauntee him obsolute power over the rest of the government . . . will he really let all of this go so freely?

Internet is a very useful information tool & its benefits cannot be over emphasised but at the same time it provides unrestricted pornography . The net is flooded with porno sites which are easily accessible and where the contents are not only explicit but also very offensive in nature . In addition there are friendship sites which offer sexual relationships in the garb of friendship .
Pornography is very easily available on the net & MMS enabled mobile phones , and this is ripping apart the social & moral fabric of the society . Pornography not only dehumanises women but also encourages sexual frustation , molestation & violence .The minds of the youth are continously being fed with explicit pornography & the outlet is found in teen-age sex/pregnancies , eve-teasing , molestation & rape .

coach NFL Football Teams ?? How about MLB or the NHL ??
There are no Radical Islamists coaching any professional team ! Maybe that's why they hate us, huh ? Maybe we should let them start out coaching our kids in Little League !!! Ah-ha. ....Now that would probably shake a few liberals into reality !!



A ridiculous scenario, I know, but is it any more ridiculous than some of the liberal pleas for more 'talk' and 'understanding' with Iran and Syria ??????

I know this guy who has been to prison. He has a Swastika tatooed on his arm. He told me it is a Native American symbol and he got it purpsoely for that meaning and got it right after he got out of prison. I told my friend about it yesterday and she said most likely he got it while in Prison as a neonazi sign because they have racial gangs in prison so he probaly became a member of the neonazi skin head white group.
What sounds more believable?

We're having a sing-song outside of Parliament Square on the 20th Dec to try to work out when carols stop being Christmass-y and start being an illegal protest (yes American cousins, protesting outside our Parliament building is illegal in the UK). We just need stuff to sing.

Know any good ones?

They are doing more harm then good these days. A genocide or 3 goes on, and the world expects the UN to do something, but they don't. If the UN was dismantled, maybe some country would help (dare I say France, or Germany, or even Russia)

If a girl under 16 is old enough to decide to have an abortion, shouldn't she be old enough to consent to sex?

If society does not believe she is mature enough to consent to sex, then how can she be mature enough to decide about an abortion?

What is your opinion?

Please, no cases about child rape, incest, etc as that is not the question. This is not asking/judging whether or not an abortion is a good idea. This question is asking whether it makes sense to make the age a girl can choose an abortion the same as the age where a girl can choose to create the reason for the abortion.

I look forward to reading your answers.

This is a very slippery slope. All of Richard Pryors and Chris Rock's videos would have to be removed (along with any other comedian who uses that word). Then, any other derogatory word for any race would have to be banned also (honkey, cracker, raghead, wet back, beaner, chink, slantyeyed, etc).
One of the foundations of this country is freedom of speech. Even speech that is deplorable, is still legal.
