A year ago, he referred to Hamas as "so-called terrorists" which has merely "there is an element ... who deny Israel's right to exist," when it is the Hamas charter which calls for the destruction of Israel and the slaughter of Jews. Then he accuses of being an apartheid state, and claims "the Jewish lobby" lets no US leader can criticize any aspect of Israeli policy. What do you think?

the problem is! i need to use my parents computer to do things like jobsearch and studying. i have my own computer, but i share a room with my brother, who i don't like. the reason why my parents have installed a net nanny is because i do use dating sites and i do like to look at laddish stuff (hey i am a growing man). actually i am 28 and they've the computer is not for my use and if i continue using it, they will put a paddock on the door. the real problem is! they think they can control me and i've tried to explain to them that i am 28 and they have absolutely no control over what i do at all. they think that because i am still under there roof, i have to abide by their rules. it simply doesn't work like that. i am a 28 year old for christ sake. in my life i have always lived with my parent's, i don't know what it is like being apart from them and living on my own. i am out of work and on benefits. the first i want to happen is! i want the net nanny uninstalled.

I recently began writing my officeholders, found it only takes about 10 seconds to find them on google, even if you don't know their names. Now I feel I've said my peace, and feel a lot better.
Have you written any government leaders, and how did you feel?

Supposedly we live in a 'democracy'. Yet it seems laws are made and wars are started without consulting the public at all. Have YOU ever been asked your opinions on any proposed policies?

Im curious as to why smaller parties run in Presedential Elections when they are only going to win .1% of the votes. On local or even state I can see why as it helps your policitcal career or whatever. But on a presidential run do these parties do it to enhance their political careers or are their other benifits or are they simply running because they can and believe that doing somethin is better than nothing. ? thanks,

Bush has been totally unresponsive to the wishes of the American people and jumps at the whims of Halliburton and other corrupt corporations. Considering his history, will he pay attention to the millions who will be protesting this illegal and immoral war, in Iraq, tomorrow, or will he order the gustapo to use tear gas and bang some American heads around?

You define a fetus as an individual with all rights accorded to an individual - correct? Since you claim that physician assisited abortion is murder you desire to make it illegal. Therefore anyone performing an abortion would be a criminal - correct?

In that case what about spontaneous abortions? These would be helpless "individuals" dying through no fault of their own. Is the mother liable? If you say no, why not? Spontaneous abortions occur sometimes because of viability issues (chromosomal abnormalities, etc) but sometimes for other reasons. Who's responsible for these deaths? Would there be lawsuits from family members because the mom forgot to take her multivitamin during the pregnancy?

For those who want to respond with insults, please don't bother. I'm posing an extension of the logic I see here all the time. If you agree with the logic defend it's extension.

I was born in Southern Rhodesia, both of my parents too, but my grandparents come from Ireland and Lithuania.

I left Zimbabwe a few years ago and since then my passport has expired, because of the current situation in Zimbabwe and also because they consider me "European" I have lost my Zimbabwean citizenship and can not get a Zimbabwean passport without going back to Zimbabwe and trying to get my citizenship "reinstated".

Both the Irish and Lithuanians have given me the option of becoming a citizen, BUT I need to hand in my current Zimbabwean passport first, which I can't get. Catch 22.

Could I just become British instead, because, as I said, I was born in a British colony?

At the moment I am stateless because of this situation. I would appreciate some advice or help in trying to resolve this situation and get indefinite leave to remain in the U.K.

Fascists are a collectivist political organization. They favor gun control, euthanasia, abortion, nationalization of industry, and high welfare taxes, using Adoplh Hitler's Germany as the basis for this definition. In what way does this make people who live in the U.S. and 1) want individual gun ownership to be legal 2) are pro life 3)favor private enterprise & economic freedom over collectivization and 4) don't favore economic levelling in the form of taxes, fascist?

It would seem that everything conservatives get bashed for is exactly the opposite of fascism as defined by any source available.

"The deficit" is NOT a valid response - the tax cuts have brought in MORE revenue by fueling economic growth. Whether the tax cuts paid for themselves is a simple question. There are (a) what revenue was just before the tax cuts, (b) what revenue was projected to be with the tax cuts, using static analysis, (c) what revenue was projected to be without the tax cuts, using static analysis, and (d), what revenue actually turned out to be following the tax cuts. If (d) is the highest of those, and Fed policy was neutral or restrictive, the tax cuts paid for themselves. Period. Money is fungible - the fact that you can't trace individual dollars to specific companies' or sectors' growth is irrelevant - you never can. All you have is the before and after and whether any other major factor might intervene - i.e., if the Fed was cutting rates maybe that could be why the economy grew. But it wasn't - rates were initially low but the Fed raised them and tax revenue grew even faster.

First time you're caught for doing anything illegal now, you'll get a fine and sent home, because the prisons are so full (UK). So, lets all start robbing banks and shops. You could do it for years before you get caught. Just remember that once you're caught you have to stop. Oh, and say how sorry you are and plead guilty. You'll not get as big a fine. Do you think this is the way the country will go?

My husband just got extended in Afghanistan, but he's not getting the extra pay that was promised him if he were to be there longer then the 12 month tour. It's a slap in the face that he was due home in only a week, and then pulled right away from me for 5 more months, but then, to not give him the extra pay, it's like putting salt in an all ready infected wound.
How do I go about making the public aware of this, and getting what those boys deserve?
their morale is low enough with being so close to coming home, and having that taken away.
I could understand MONTHS ago pulling a stunt like extending them, but not when a lot of our soldiers have made it home to their families, relieved it's over, only to have to turn right back around.
it's WRONG. and shady.
is there a forum of some sort where Americans could write in letters to their congress for support?

I was arrested without a warrant on suspicion of Burglary in California. I spent a couple of days in jail, but never even got to see the Judge, they told me after a couple of days to go home. After I cameout I foundout the judge had thrown out the case because they had no proof.

It has been more than a year and nothing has happened, should I be worried that they will arrest me again?

Is there a Statute of limitation on Burglary in California?

I think women should have the CHOICE to not have sex until they want a child.

I also think their child should have the CHOICE to not be killed.

Are you pro-choice?
