Most people are ignorant and like to ignore the facts that the liberal media and politicitions like to bury. Like first off the scores of people, men WOMEN AND CHILDREN, he tortured and killed through various hideious fashions. Or maybe the the fact of YES he had WMDs and programs do develop such items. Don't beleive me? Don't worry! The Chief UN Weapon Inspector said in 2003 that he found traces of and had NO doubt that they had them and were developing more, just because they were flown to Syria in 2002 doesn't mean they weren't there at one point. And this bs of "We're not winning," well shoot the US didn't even have control of itself until 1783, 7 years AFTER the Declaration of Independace. Even then we were still strung up with turmoil. So why do you nay sayers think things happen overnight? One last thing, you also say that Iraqi people don't want us there, they don't want freedom/democracy, the 16 million people that came out to vote in their last election would beg to differ.

Our first night in USA as citizens and we had the neighbours around for dinner, and i swear they drove. A few hundred yards. Another time, there was this guy who parked outside the Chemist for 3 minutes and got back in only to drive another 15 yards and stop outside the supermarket. This is crazy? Americans dont want to even walk anymore, we are all aware about the obesity rates, well what can you blame them on? Driving where ...for a starters

the Mexicans there are paid to treat Americans like kings,,,they don't represent the greater mentality of the commen people,

Americans,,esp, liberals,,will say, oh, I go to Mexico all the time and the people are so warm and friendly and they treat me like a king,,

If any of those tourists lived with the real people in thier shanty towns for an extended period of time,,,they would see that they are not all these magical, ultra holy peoplethat we all should hug and worship with family values coming out of thier ears and noses, they have thier problems like any other demographic,,and in general they harbor angry feelings towards Americans, has anyone here ever REALLY VISITED MEXICO,,like not as a stupid touist,,,but to work as a doctor or something,,please tell me your experience

This question is aimed directly towards Texans on probation, but holds significance to anyone believing that abortion is wrong, that it is a personal right to do so, and/or that America is seriously pushing the limits on violating our rights. My husband is on probation is Texas. Just the other day, he was waiting to see his P.O. when he heard her and another P.O. talking. Apparently, that Officer had a woman on his case load who had 8 children and is only 24. She can't hold a steady job because of how frequently she gets pregnant. Their main source of income for support is SSI, but SSI only pays enough to support the family, not pay probation. Now, this P.O. is debating revoking her probation and telling her that if she wants to avoid prison, she has to get an abortion of her current pregnancy and get her "tubes tied" no longer allowing her to have any children. And my hubby's P.O. agreed that it would be the perfect solution! Is this even legal?! Because it is morally disgusting...

2. Phrohibits excessive bail or fines as well as cruel and unusual punishments.

Why are these 2 rights important to you and the citizens of the U.S?

Are these right at risk?

How would your lives be without them?

how many of you think a north american union would be a good idea? in the long run i think it might, but only if Mexico could come closer to the standards of the US and Canada. in the short run it would be disastrous because of the incompatability with Mexico. after reading about america's "$50 trillion" debt, i think a union would be good for the interests of all three. what do mexicans think of a unified north america? btw, i ask these questions on the assumption that America has a border and that it is a sovereign nation. we all know this is not true, but it is still a ways away from being in a north american union.

In Florida last Wednesday a monster was executed and because it was "painful" for him Gov. Jeb Bush has stopped ALL executions in the state until an appointed commission considers last Wednesday's "Botched Execution." Why can't it be that he got what he deserved and died a death that was more than likely what he had coming? Can the state of Florida really afford to pay for all of death row to stay alive because of 1 guy actually getting justice? Glad thats not my tax dollars being wasted.

I mean, he stuck to what he knew was right even though all of the ignorant dissenters wanted the terrorists to atack us again. God forbid we actually defend ourselves...

Anyway, is he just the greatest of our time, or the greatest ever? I know many people will say Reagen was the greatest of our time, but I give the credit to Dubya because he made so many good but unpopular decisions.

give her back to her mother for a few days...Is there anything illegal about that? Both of us still have the same custody rights as we did when we were married, so neither of us have full custody.

that current Democratic Party Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia was a former member of the Ku Klux Klan?

I keep getting told by today's Democrats that this is bull. Maybe they should read his own memoirs in which he discusses his membership in the Klan and that he quit shortly before running for public office.

Sorry, Dems. This is a fact that Byrd himself will acknowledge. Your party is the only one that continuously re-elects a former (and current non-dues paying) member of the KKK.

compared to any latin American country the US is way more evolved and progressive in that way ,,we welcome all cultures and races and try our best to create equal oppurtunity,,,these hispanics from other countries have a highly ethnocentric mentality,,,they don't even see that as a negative trait,,,as long as you think thier culture is the greatest one,,then you can be as open-minded as them,,lol,,,they fail to see thier hypocrisy,,,

Racism is a sport on countries like Mexico and Peru,,,they treat indigeanous people and black people like dirt and aren't even shy about it,,,,,a lot believe the white man is the devil,,,literally,,,and they will say it to your face if they are in the mood,,without feling any guilt or shame, they live in an old world mentality and they have the nerve to call the US a racist country

I've lived in Mexico and Peru for 3 years

there are more cultures represented here than any other place in the world, learn some tolerance and learn some english
