Not so much the music. But what's your knee-jerk reaction to Punk - the people, the lifestyle, the politics? What's your take on it?

As the most powerful nation in the world – militarily, politically, economically, and culturally – what is the proper role and responsibility of the United States in the 21st century?

**Please only constructive answers. I'm not interested in hearing your thoughts on the current standing of the US and what you think is wrong but what is the propper way the US should be acting.**

Check your state's web site and write your Senators demanding they put a stop to ALL food imports from China until the quality of their products can be guaranteed.
Write to the FDA. Write to the White House. If we don't stand up to this atrocity it will continue.
It's now in human food... (yes, check your news -- pigs fed contaminated food, butchered and sold to humans) how many people will die or become sick before our government does something?
Write your Senators, your state reps., anyone you can find an email address for.

I was recently put on probation . I get a random drug/alcohol urine test and I need to know what type of test i am getting. My lab slip said a ethanol urine, I assume that is a regular alcohol urine test. However there is a new test, EgT that is very sensitive and can detect alcohol use even from mouthwash for up to 80 hours. If you get the EgT test, do they tell you to stay away from certain products? I was not informed either way and I would like to know without having to ask my PO. Any advice? Anyone being tested?

Linguists have noted that when we talk about whole groups of people (liberals or conservatives) as if they are enemies whose views or selves need to be destroyed, we are talking in 'authoritarian' language, not democratic?

If we talk about people as though they have the right to have differences, we are speaking democratic language. Democratic thinking is to argue about values but to realize that other people's views are legitimate and must be tolerated in order to maintain a democracy.

A male frequently,constantly,annoyingly insists his female friend to go out with him even when lady has denied many times because her parents dont allow her to do so.He keeps pressurising her in several emotional ways to go out with him.He always insists &says'' we will go out secretly no one will come to know about it''.Lady feels very uncomfortable,irritated and frightened. Is it the act of sexual harassment?

Whether it be healthcare, education, police numbers and actions, whatever.. Most or all are sheep baaing away but never stamping a foot to say NO we will not tolerate this any longer, we need something done about it now. Not just roll over and hope that the next government does a better job. Demand what is right, your government are your public servants supposedly serving YOUR greater good.

The British union jack represents a former empire which killed millions and commited the most horrific genocides the world has ever known, The british empire killed more people than any other empire ever did, it represents the slave trade where millions of africans were sold off aross the atlantic ocean, I think it's a racist flag, the flag mainly used by the far-right in Britain and I think it should be made illeagle.

Canada got rid of it in 1965 and fell in love with the maple leave, Australia and New Zealand are also thinking of removing the racist simble in the top left hand corner of there flag. Scotland and Wales are looking to get away from England go for independence and get away from the racist British flag. Ireland want N.Ireland back off british racism

I put the British union jack on par with the swastika or infact worse than the swastika. Go and wave that flag around any of England's former colonies and you'll get and extreamly hostile reception.

What do you think?

Long story short...boyfriend of 6 years lives w/ me and we have two kids together...has screwed me over so many times...I want him to leave but he won't. We rent and the lease is in my name only. I tried to get my landlord to do an eviction on him, he said he would but then didn't. B/f hasn't hurt me so there's no reason for the police to remove him or for me to get a restraining order to keep him away. How can I get this jerk out of my house and my life?
P.S. I have seen enough Judge Judy to know that if I throw his things out I might have to cover damage costs to them. Also I don't think it's legal for me to just change the locks...I live in Michigan and don't know what the laws are here...any ideas???

Let's face it, you couldn't shoot someone if you hadn't got a gun. And don't say bow and arrow, or I'll roar.

Because drugs kill people? No, I think you will find that guns kill people (that is what a hand gun is designed to do it's not for hunting and pretty useless in most war situations too) so why is it that you can easily buy a gun in the US of A but if they catch you with a bit of weed they want to lock you up? In fact, in many states if they catch you smoking mary jane three times then they will give you a life sentence.

Go out and buy a kalashnikov? No problem.

I'm not going to go into any of your crazy examples of proof that the Bush Administration planned and executed 9/11. Answer me this. If there is such irrefutable proof that 9/11 was an inside job by the Bush Administration why hasn't the Democrat controlled congress jumped all over this proof to get this administration not only impeached, but jailed?

Last time I checked drugs were still illegal, yet a crackhead seems to have problem finding drugs to buy. We tried to ban the manufacture and sale of alcohol, but that just led to secret distilleries and smuggling. What makes guns any different? The vast majority of gun crime is carried out with guns that are illegally owned anyway, so how would a law making them illegal, again, do anything to prevent crime? I think increasing punishments for illegally owned weapons would do more to stop crime than banning law-abiding citizens from access to arms of their choosing would. Gun control only affects those without intentions of crime, criminals don't care about breaking laws to get want they want.

April 20, 2007 — The heavy breathing over global warming is enough to terrify anyone.

Last week the Washington Post interviewed a 9-year-old who said the Earth is "just starting to fade away." In 20 years there will be "no oxygen" he said, and he'll be dead. The Post went on to say that "for many children and young adults, global warming is…defining their generation." How sad.

Thirty-six years of consumer reporting have taught me to be skeptical of environmental scares. Much of what the media scares us about turns out to be myths.

Going to PAY US BACK?
Didn't Paul Wolfowitz tell
Congress and the American people
that the war will only cost a couple million?

So now that America has spent Billions...
when will we get paid back the money
we wasted in Iraq? And will we get
interest on those billions we've spent
on the Iraqi war?
