I heard on the news that they were trying to make it illegal to produce violent video games like Grand theft auto. They say video games is to blame for most of the school shootings. I think that is totally BS. They said they did some type of brain scan for people that play video games and it activates a part of the brain that makes them more likely to become violent. I think its absurd to blame video games for school shootings. What do you think?

Volcanos are the biggest contributor towards greenhouse gasses which cause globalwarming. Now, reports show that methane gas from animals greatly overshadow those of transportation.

Global warming is obviously a natural occurance, so why can't these liberals leave nature alone?

Medicare has exceeded "the private sector in controlling the rate of health spending."

Additionally, it has more efficient administrative structure and provides the same care for less money.

So, why is this?

The absence of billionaire CEO's?
The power of buying in bulk?
A focus on providing services rather than solely on profits?

And given all these benefits, why aren't we using it to cover everyone?

Can I just describe what I have experienced in MY lifetime:
In the 1970s we had conservative communists plotting in secret, Jimmy Carter, a liberal, trying his best but failing miserably against a right wing islamic state.
However in the 80s we had a liberal reformist Gorbechov, who took over the USSR and eventually persuaded the Conservatives in the White House that he wanted peace.
Now....? well we have right wing islamic clerics preaching hatred to impressionable young muslims to commit atrocities, along side a reactionary conservative President who doesn't know the meaning of the word "peace".
Now can you see the common denominator? RIGHT WING.....CONSERVATIVE....whatever you want to call it is the most destructive socialogical power in the modern world.

I cannot go to the head supervisor, she will also make my job more miserable if I do. I cannot go to the board we are ran by because the boss will make sure I get fired or quit. When I report it I also must stay anonymous due to worse treatment at work.

We just went through another election, with neither major party addressing the domestic problems or offering concrete plans to fix the the problems "they" created through corporate bribes and influence. They just all agreed the country is in a mess, blamed each other, and called each other names. No agenda for domestic priorities was set or solutions provided. Our corporate controlled mass media of "mass distraction" had you focused on Iraq, and lame threats that didn't exist from North Korea and Iran. So where did these threats go now that the elections over?

Our present corrupt government will never solve the problems of this country they created, unless we as a people establish our priorities and tell them the solutions the people want; not our corporations. I belong to "grass roots" groups for honest voting, social justice, etc. I know what the focus groups and polling showed me were the issues and what solutions they wanted. Please state your top priority and solution.

I just want to preemptively put this question out there, since if, God forbid, Senator Johnson becomes permanently incapacitated; and the Republicans remain in control of the Senate. I am sure liberals will start a new conspiracy theory that Bush or Karl Rove was somehow responsible for this tragedy.

They forced my neighbor's wage up to $20.00 an hour, but now he works less, because people who make much less like $10.00 an hour (i work at the same company) can do the same job. So now, he has to get welfare checks just to make it because the union has forced his wage to high. Is the union trying to make everyone dependant on the govt.?
