Politics & Government - 8 February 2007

I have to write a paper on if I am in favor of capital punishment. We need to write from the "yes" and "no" side, and if you are undecided you can put that down too, I just need some ideas! I am in 6th grade by the way and even if you say 6th graders shouldn't be learning this kind of thing, that won't change the fact I need to write a paper on it. All ideas are appreciated!

I am a Canadian and perhaps for me to ask this question is out of line, but here it goes..If by most standards, a young person is not concidered old enough to make resonsible choices about drinking alchohol, then why can he or she join a military, that is fighting a war, that DOES NOT MAKE SENCE!

I am very respectful of our men and women who serve our country and mean NO disrespect at all asking this. I hear that Marines are considered the best in the world and am simply wondering if that is an objective assessment or of its influenced by the fact that they're ours...any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

In my opinion, it's a vapid, feel-good response to a non-existent "problem". The people who favor these types of ideas will tell you, "Young African-Americans need historical role-models, people who look like them to get them interested in their heritage".

While I agree that one's heritage is something to be treasured and celebrated, the primary heritage to be honored should be "American", not "African-American". Instead of spending valuable time teaching kids that the inventor of the traffic signal was a black man (wonderful, but still more like trivia than history), we'd be better served if kids learned about the Intolerable Acts, the Missouri Compromise, the buildup to the Civil War, etc...

What started as a verble argument,turned into a brawl. A carload of 7 boys came to my daughters house(where my grandson and girlfriend were).My daughter told her son to stay inside and she would stop this argument. When she went out(with grandsons girlfriend) she found these boys in her yard and told them to leave. One of the boys hit my daughter and she sprayed him with mace. Another boy, or possibley the same person, also kicked the girlfriend in the stomach. At this time my grandson came out of the house and began to hit the attackers of his mother and girfriend. My daughter called the cops for help. After telling the officers what had happened and questioning the other gang(who had ran), they gave my daughter a disturbing the peace along with my gransons girfriend. My grandson was given a felony assault and battery charge. I believe the other 7 kids also got a disturbing the peace. Something doesn't sound right. The victims have been arrested and the assaulters are free

I would like to hear some thoughts on this,,,i fear it might encourage promiscuity, and also does anyone remember them talking about this before, saying that they weren’t going to make it mandatory because they didn’t know the long term affects of the vaccine... so why all of a sudden is it mandatory? Who are these people to be telling us what we have to do with are children....

Pull the troops to the border of Iraq and to the Anbar Province to fight Al Queda. Let the Iraqi forces fight the civil war that is occuring in Baghdad. The American troops are there to fight Al Queda, which is prevalent in the Anbar Province, and to make sure no terrorists cross over the borders and enter Baghdad. No additional troops would be needed as we already have enough over there to carry out this plan. It is proposed by Warner, a Republican in the House, along with three other Rep/Dem. It was supposed to have been discussed and voted on last week but the Republicans in the House are refusing to open discussion on it. 60 votes are needed to open the discussions and the Senate is 50-50.There's the plan. Write your Republican Congressman and urge him to open debate on the proposal. This is a good plan.

Do you still think Iran is close to having a nuclear weapon? Or believe Ahmadinejad threatened to wipe Israel off the map? Or think Iran is arming the Sunni Insurgents in Iraq?

Iran is at least 10 years from any bomb:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/5039956.stm
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/08/01/AR2005080101453.html

It’s now accepted fact that Ahmadinejad has never said “Wipe Israel off the map”. It was a mistranslation:

http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/jonathan_steele/2006/06/post_155.html

There’s nothing to back-up the claim that Iran has been arming the insurgents in Iraq:

http://www.military.com/NewsContent/0,13319,124061,00.html

Do you agree that Iran presents no threat & any military action is unjust?

... as one of our military's pilots decides it's his duty to serve the best interest of America by getting rid of Pelosi --- better known as someone who hates our military?

(In case you're not aware, Pelosi will likely get special service from the military to fly home to California regularly.)
