What idiot thinks that having a single person from a family go to a spot on the other side of the border for a predetermined clearance to come back has any material difference than not going at all?

That is NOT getting in line behind all the others to be here, that is for sure.

Whatever your view on amnesty, do you see any sense in this at all?

Our government is ruled by the people that we elect into office! These people only have the jobs they do because WE elected them, yet we act as if they have all the power. Will we ever realize that change is what we have the power to do? Will we ever send a message to these officials by throwing them all out and putting in new people when they don't do what we elected them to do?

Put it this way: If you hired an electrician to wire your house, agreed to pay him a salary 50 times what you make in a year, and he neglected to wire the house, would you keep him on the payroll as your electrician, or hire one that will actually do the job they are supposed to be doing?

Is it legal for a little girl to go door to door selling candy bars and ask for donations so she can go on a missions trip with her church? The church isnt involved with the donations, its something she wants to do on her own. She also wants to raise money with a bake sale and advertise it as donations for her trip. Is this ok?

We know that capitalism has never really existed in its purest form, and the same must be true about communism, right? If so, what is the best example of true communism (NOT DICTATORSHIP, which is what communism often becomes) that we've seen?
(This is not a debate between the merrits of capitalism and communism... I wouldn't ask that, because I already know the vast majority of arguements for either side. This discussion is about communism and history alone; I don't care whether you love communism or hate it)

Electoral votes were first created in the days where votes were collected by horseback, so they just did it electorally. Now that our world has flatened , should we still leave it up to congress to decide who our leader is or should we start going by popular vote? In the 1984 election with Reagan, for example, the popular vote was much different than the electoral votes...

I recently received a ticket for leaving my car door unlocked. The police officer opened the door, and left the ticket on my front seat before locking the door. My question is two-fold. First, isn't it breaking and entering to open my car door, much as it would be for a police officer to enter a home without just cause(here I'm assuming that an unlocked door doesn't equate to someone in distress)? And secondly, how can the law dictate what I do within the confines of my own private property? I understand parking tickets, where I have placed my private property where it doesn't belong, but the door lock is a part of my property, and as such, how is the law entitled to dictate what I do with it?

US interferes in the politics of nearly every country around the globe. When it suits its interests it backs military regimes, like in so many countries in South America, in coups to take control and even suppress democracy. At the same time, it uses financial, political and military clout to align nations to its thinking. When it is doing so, it is in the interest of all nations to ensure that the Govt (Prez) and Elected representatives of Congress should be the ones that they want elected and ones who would support policies favoring these nations. Every nation has its own vested interest and US could be the handy tool, organization and weapon to implement those interests. What do you guys think?

If I felt business ripped me off, can I call them on the phone (without confessing that the conversation is being recorded), have it recorded for the chance that the company admits wrongdoing and then use it either in small claims court or let's say even criminal court ? Would that be illegal? Could I get sued by the business for right of privacy for doing this? Could I get in trouble? I know it is illegal for law-inforcement to do this to us but what about private citizens like me.

Ok. I looked out my apartment window/door and saw some dude loitering around downstairs in the brush basically. It is midnight you know and it is very windy outside. I kind of wondered what he could be up to...so i asked him what the **** he was doing..and he walked away hurriedly. Should i call the police and let them know or leave it alone? My wife told me they are looking for a rapist in town, but i mean , c'mon he could have just been having a smoke.

How is it that minors who work have taxes taken out of thier paychecks, yet do not have the right to vote? You could easily argue that they knew this when applying for a job, yet I believe that this basic ideal that we fought the Revolutionary war over should not be ignored.

My friend was arrested and the officers who did it were complete jerks! They slammed him into a car and then threatened to charge him for the dent it made. Then they slammed his chin into some concrete and they never read him his rights EVEN AFTER HE ASKED THEM TO. Is there anything he can do or can they seriously get away with all this??

Everything he controlled, he ran into the ground, and his dad got the oil guys in other countries to use their money to save his buttocks. How could you vote a guy, that can't run a business, into the office of president? He blew every job and opportunity he had.
