before answering we must all agree to the obvious if the obvious is not obvious to use, please read the legal disclaimer at the bottom of this note..
1) should society limit individual freedom (include your own freedom)
2) should society allow the use of government aggression to limit individual freedom

legalize for the word pinchers: assume 'your right to swing your arm ends at the tip of my nose'...and operating within the framework of the us bill of rights/constitution with established government oversight of foriegn policy, interstate commerce.
and assuming there is no harm to anyone else, and that means the individual in question is a competant adult (or else it is obvious there would be harm).

I'm pretty sure there must be a connection between Chappaquidick and 9/11. Dont you think?

And the stain on Monica Lewinsky's dress has to be connected to WMD some how. I know it!

"As a member of the House Intelligence Committee, I am keenly aware that the proliferation of chemical and biological weapons is an issue of grave importance to all nations. Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process."

"Saddam Hussein certainly has chemical and biological weapons. There's no question about that."

"I come to this debate, Mr. Speaker, as one at the end of 10 years in office on the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, where stopping the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction was one of my top priorities. I applaud the President on focusing on this issue and on taking the lead to disarm Saddam Hussein. ... Others have talked about this threat that is posed by Saddam Hussein. Yes, he has chemical weapons, he has biological weapons, he is trying to get nuclear weapons."

We input his name along with the following modifiers in a leading Search Engine. Here are the results"

"George W. Bush" + "liar" = 967.000 hits

" + "idiot" = 642,000 hits

" + "moron" = 715,000 hits

" + "lunatic" = 319,000 hits

" + "menace" = 795,000 hits

" + "failure" = 1,520,000 hits

" + "disaster" = 1,200,000 hits

" + the worst" = 1,180,000 hits

Also, if you specify the top hit only for him and "failure", you are connected to the OFFICIAL White House Biography of George W. Bush. How appropriate!

and you knew if you dove on it, you would face certain death but would most likely save your fellow squadies lives, would you do it? Or would you just run and leave the others to it?

I personally would run, cause no offense but I plan on living another 50 years. I cant be responsible for everyone else despite all the war hero stories you hear.

I've been discussing the smoking issue, but have a couple of business owners claiming that the government is taking away their rights. They believe that the government should not pass nor enforce anti-smoking laws, but I'm curious to find out if it was ever illegal to ban smoking from any businesses at all. I'm especially wondering about restaurants, clothing stores (where merchandise could be ruined by smoke and it could be a real fire hazard), schools (by teachers), or anyplace.

So, in your area, was it ever illegal to ban smoking from anyplace? Please ask your parents, and especially your grandparents or older neighbors who might know.

There are a few points I am about to make to them (on a group, not here), comparing the smoking issue to some other issues,
but I want to see if anyone here comes up with my same thoughts before I post it to them.

Thank you in advance for participating.

That is one of the common arguments against liberals is that they have lower morals. but how is that possible? All those scandals that ripped through washington the past few years have all truned out to be conservatives. (mark foley, ted haggard, jack abramoff, tom delay, robert ney, john doolittle, jd hayward, etc...) dont you think that maybe the conservatives talk the talk, but dont walk the walk?

Given that Venezuela is building a factory to produce AK-103 rifles, and Hugo's propensity to dabble in the political affairs of other countries, do you think that Venezuelan made weapons will eventually make it into the hands of Socialist groups in the regions? Groups such as FARC or Las Zapatistas, for example.

...when they themselves have actually been DOING IT for close to 8 years now? I guess it's kind of like a cheating spouse. They start to get all paranoid of their partner cheating simply because they are the ones doing it. Just more nonsensical ramblings from the right I guess.
