A connection exists between American expenditures in war, recession, elimination of the middle class, the popularity of conservative white imagery in the media, and the popular condoning of incest, domestic violence, exploitation of minorities, and colonialist practices in general.

The ban by the supreme court does not eliminate abortions, it just eliminates one medical procedure that is cruel.

Do you realize that if a woman's life is threatened, there are still other alternative abortion methods available?

What about the fact that this method is very cruel to that baby. At 24 weeks, a baby can be placed in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. All this does is to eliminate one method?

Or are a woman's rights more important that any method should be allowed, even if it is inhumane to the other life that's about to be terminated?

I Recently Watched Farenheit 9/11 Followed by FarenHYPE 9/11. The former was an interesting movie, until the latter seemed to give A whole bunch more perspective to Moore's version of the truth. (Which, according to the movie, Moore doesn't seem to know what the truth is... or worse doesn't want the American Public to know the truth). Has Moore responded publicly to Farenhype 9/11? Is he really that much of a dishonest jackass?? I Highly reccomend anyone who watches Farenheit 9/11 also watch Farenhype 9/11. It appears to debunk just about all of the positions Michael Moore espouses in his movie, and it certainly puts context back in where Moore has removed it (certainly not for Documentary reasons, but to promote his adgenda)

PATRIOT ACT is more communist than any other laws .
It is a direct violation of the constitution.
The constitution clearly states the right to bare arms,and no democrats are gonna take away your guns because most of them obide by the constitution. Republicans are all about changing the constitution.

In the trial of Joan of Arc Philip, duke of burgundy is on the side of the prosecution. If the trial was run today_ instead of telling stories everyone would either ask or answer questions. I have a few answers ready for the questions I made. We are setting up the trial for class. I want to know what other questions you think are good to use.

This proud Republican stated he supports the war in Iraq as long as his children do not have to fight. His words flowed out of his mouth like this " If my kid had to go in I would be against the war "BUT" as long as other people are losing their kids then I'm all for the war". That....is a true republican!!

Would you consider voting for former Secretary of Defense of the United States of America Donald Rumsfeld if he ran for mayor of your city/town? Why or why not?

I would absolutely vote for Donald Rumsfeld because he is a honest man who speaks the truth and he would be a great asset to my community.

(Note, this question is NOT about whether the law is right or wrong ethically - that's a different question). But instead, I'm asking about the new Supreme Court Ruling about the ban on partial birth abortions: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070418/ap_on_go_su_co/scotus_abortion

It appears that certain states have previously ruled on whether this this procedure is constitutional or not. So, in light of the supreme court decision, will it be thrown back to the states to make decisions or will federal law supercede any state issues?

If you think about it, the Virginia Tech shooter can be defined as a terrorist according to past Bush policy.

1) His lineage is Korean which can be seen as coming from a communist part of the world that doesn't share democracy.

2) He planned the shooting and carried out the plot to kill Americans

3) He killed several Americans and then himself much like a suicide bomber would have

4) He was a crazy fanatical with beliefs contrary to normal ideaology (he was a radical)

So in some regards wouldn't he be considered someone that would fall into an unlawful combatant? Your thoughts appeciated.

The high court rule against partial birth abortion.
Now maybe just maybe both sides can come out of their foxholes and work towards a solution rather than staying entrenched in their belief my way or the highway.

What do you think can we have a reasonable debate?

If passed, will I still have the right to drink, smoke, and eat as much as I want?

My idea of rights is that you should be able to do what you want as long as you don't infringe on someone else's rights.

That said, it is obvious that taxpayers would be picking up the tab for peoples' unhealthy lifestyles in a UHC based system.

How would an individual's right to eat/drink/smoke whatever they want balance out against the rights of people who make the decision to live healthy? Should the responsible be forced to subsidize the irresponsible?

And do you know the laws in your state regarding guns?

Has anyone taken steps down this road recently?

If we dont impeach Bush when his term is done we as taxpayers will still be paying him a salary. I didnt vote for the lunatic and I sure as hell dont want my tax dollars paying his salary. So, I am thinking of not paying taxes anymore!!! I am sure some nice democratic IRS person or judge will side with me. What do you think?

What comes to mind? Guns? Abortion? Something else?

Seems like the two issues I mentioned are similar, in that there are deeply held beliefs on each side of both. And each side can't possibly fathom the thinking of the other, on each issue. (The old "red-state/blue state" divide, I suppose.)

So what do we do? Is there a solution to either issue? Should either or both be decided state-by-state? Are any constitutional amendments necessary?

And when is the argument in the title valid, if ever?

I'd appreciate any thoughts. Thanks.

I want to change my daughter's last name. Can I do that even though her father is still, technically, in her life? He does not contribute in any way, financially or otherwise, and sees her when and how often (which is not often) he wants to. I am trying now to get sole custody of my daughter.Can I change her last name?

I consider myself to be prochoice, but now this can be defined as "within reason". I suppose it is because I have given birth to a baby and watched it develop, I don't know, but reading about abortions in the second trimester and partial births, I find them pretty disgusting. Dismembering a fetus in the uterus and the partial birth - removing the fetus and then crushing its skull, etc...doesn't that seem particularly heinous? The only reason this can be explained away is if the mother's health is directly at risk, not simply because the fetus has "something seriously wrong with it". I know that it is not an easy choice for a woman to have an abortion at all - I've had one myself - but I do agree that there has to be a fine line drawn and crushing a fetus's skull in my opinion is truly "killing". What do you think?
