What do you intend to do about illegal immigration?
What do you intend to do about child molester, i.e., molesters?
What do you intend to do about taxes?

Please if anyone one on Y.A. has other questions, please post them. This is just one small way that we, the general electorate, can see if and how or even if they will flat out address our concerns.

It will be interesting to see if they even read our comments let alone answer them. If they want to play this silly game let's make it two sided.

He was with his wife and daughter and was clearly just being a proud dad, yet he was told to stop doing it. Even tho, its allowed by law to take pics in a public place, even if other kids may appear on the photo. He was also told not to take any at his daughters nursery, so he stopped, yet 2 weeks later a woman at the same nursery snapped away un challenged, total double standards. If the law was on your side and you were 1 of the 99.9999999% of innocent dads out there, would you stop photographing a child playing sport or continue within the law. I would continue, as its time us innocent dads wer'nt treated as criminals when we are just doting on our kids. also nativity plays are seeing cameras banned yet some schools have there own photographer do it, who then sell the prints. Whos to say this non-parent isnt the pervert? I wouldnt mind other parents taking pics that included my kids, but i wouldnt be told no cameras and then have a stranger take them. What do you think?

Its not a state.

If it get a seat than why not let the Virgin Island and Puerto Rico seats too?

Does what the Constitution say matter? Should the Constitution be amended then let them vote in congress or do we just pretend it says something it doesn't?



"Puerto Rico" is not even a word according to Yahoo's spell check.

Just opposing the other party no matter what and I always thought that the American people were better than that when it came to their political views, but from what I have seen on here I was wrong. Does anyone else agree?

Listen, children, to a story
That was written long ago,
'Bout a kingdom on a mountain
And the valley-folk below.

On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath the stone,
And the valley-people swore
They'd have it for their very own.

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.

So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill,
Asking for the buried treasure,
Tons of gold for which they'd kill.

Came an answer from the kingdom,
"With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of our mountain,
All the riches buried there."

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.

Lets just say that mankind is causing global warming. Isnt it clear that international laws limiting devleopment is particularly going to hurt poorer nations? Poor nations cannot develop using wind and solar power. It sure seems like the people pushing this agenda must really hate most of Africa don't you think?

Transcript of Meeting Between Saddam Hussein and U.S. Ambassador to Iraq, April Glaspie. - July 25, 1990 (Eight days before the August 2, 1990 Iraqi Invasion of Kuwait)

Regarding the buildup of Iraqi troops on the Kuwaiti border,
Glaspie to Saddam: "We have no opinion on your Arab-Arab conflicts, such as your dispute with Kuwait. Secretary Baker has directed me to emphasize the instruction, first given to Iraq in the 1960's, that the Kuwait issue is not associated with America."

8 days later Iraq attacked Kuwait, causing the Gulf War. Osama Bin Laden offered the Saudis the services of Al Qaeda to remove Saddam. He was rebuked. The U.S. established military bases in Saudi Arabia to help in the war, promising the Saudis they were temporary, but then didn't shut them, the main reasons for 9/11. GWB closed them after 9/11.
Of course, after 9/11 we invaded Afghanistan and Iraq. Is it all Papa Bush's fault?

When he said the following:

"Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised."

We KNOW other countries had doubts. That's why ONLY the U.S. and Britain wanted to end the inspections and start the war. That's why they couldn't get an authorizing resolution. That's why the war is illegal under the UN Charter.

Do Republicans really think people are stupid enough to fall for their revisionism.

Obama will not win because he is black and Clinton will not win because she is a women but that is if they were alone. But I think if they joined up they would win, Obama would get a good amount of white votes and mostly black and Clinton would get all the female votes.

Why do I see so many answers from conservatives talking about the military and bravery when an overwhelming majority of them never served, never will serve, and would never let their young serve, but they will tell you how brave they are and such. I am a former Marine and I DID fight. I DID serve my country and I do not regret it, but for you scared-of-the-dark, fight-'em-over-here-or-fight-'em-over-there Bush supporters, how are you brave? Hoping the corrupt super rich who don't care about you whatsoever will send the other half of the poor to fight and die so your cowardly behind doesn't have to is not bravery. I think people that are quick to put somebody else in harm's way for their own safety should first know the cruciality of a life and death situation to help them better understand what they are asking of their service members. I think any self-respecting citizen would agree that a person that asks somebody to do something that they aren't prepared to do themselves is a coward

If I truly loved my wife, I would put all my energies into getting her well, and if her condition is terminal, I would want to spend all our time together we had, instead of worrying about a political campaign. I feel so sorry for Elizabeth Edwards, but think John is a arrogant and self-centered.

Hey, now that Iran has has kidnapped a group from the British Navy, what do you in Europe think the response from the UK should be?

Also, now that the this has happened, Iran's "President" has cancelled his trip to New York to rant to the UN.

Do you see these actions as an act of war against the UK by Iran?

Why is it that every old person I know says things like "Nuke 'em all!" or "Give those ragheads what they deserve"

My peers and I never talk that way. We don't wish death on innocent people no matter what color they are or where they are from. I ain't never heard someone my age talk like that, yet all the old people I know all chime in together.

Exactly what were the differences in our societies that made us so different?

Or does this trend only exist in my tiny Canadian village?

Hello, I have never done this before but I need some advice. I am the fiance of an Iraqi war verteran. He has been home for 2 years now. Our wedding would be 5 months away. However, he was issued an order warning for possible deployment to Iraq. We have had to cancel everything. It looks as if they are 99.9% sure that he will be leaving most likely before the start of the summer. My question is......should we move up the wedding and get married before his deployment. He is my world and deployed or not deployed I want to be with him for forever. I need some advice....thank you so much for your time. God bless all of those in our military and their families...my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Why does anyone have to die for something that has been going on since the beginning of time .If theres a God He wouldnt want his children fighting.Why cant all of these so called leaders get together and play foot ball or some sport to see whos the winner and do it again next week .Very little blood shed just a few broken bones. I guess that would be to easy .I know there has to be a way to end this violence.God help us.

About 2 years ago, I was arrested on a charge of theft. I spent about 6 hours in jail, and finally a friend posted bail for me. A couple of weeks later, I appeared in court, and the charges against me were dismissed. The fact is, I hadn't actually done anything, anyway.

My question is this: I see on TV (and elsewhere) people being released, and/or suing the police, because they were not read their Miranda Rights when they were arrested. When it happened to me, nobody read me any rights. They picked me up (at work), brought me before a district judge, and afterward dropped me off at the correctional facility.

Would I be able to sue because of this? The incident cost me a day's work, aside from the embarrassment, etc.

If you have an Answer for me, I can provide more details if you contact me.

There's an old quote about those wanting peace should prepare for war. That the only way peace can exist is through war. I think that guy was a moron. Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity. They are opposites.

Violence begets violence. Hate begets hate. Revenge is an endless and self-perpetuating cycle. Fighting doesn't bring an end to war. Fighting is war. Fighting can only escalate or continue a war. What will we do, fight down to the last person? Where does it end?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against war. War is needed sometimes, so is violence. You have no choice but to fight back when someone attacks you. Wars can change the world for the better just as peace can.

But what if all the reasons have been lies? What if the reasons for the war in Iraq is to create the conditions and motivation for an endless cofnlict? Let's drop this "liberation" and "peace bringing" propaganda.

I think we all know why this war is really being fought.
