Seriously....some of the most vehement supporters of 'freeing the Iraqi people' advocate the scaling back of US citizens freedoms.
Just wondering what you think.

We always talk mainly about the war in Politics, but I'd like to know how you all feel about immigration and how the problems should be solved.

Popular topic and one that I have done a fair amount of research into.
It would be great for all to have coverage. I just wonder how it would be done.
I think one of the biggest costs in healthcare is the pills. Pharmaceutical costs are huge. And the USA presently foots the bill for the rest of the world.
What I mean is the cost for development of new medicines and vaccines is paid for largely by the USA. We pay often times double the cost of other countries for the same medication.
If we had a universal healthcare plan that bargained for low prices on medications and made them equitable to say canada for example. Would the pharaceutical companies quit developing anything new or would they up the price in other countries to make up the difference?
If other countries did actually have to pay an even share.. would universal healtcare in those countries be able to stay afloat or would they collapse...

Anyway what got any ideas on a workable plan?

My view is if you join the armed services then you know the cosequences that one day you may be called upon to fight and you may lose your life in the line of duty.If you don't like the sound of this then you should not join up.

I don't stand for the pledge at school. Because of this, I'm being forced to write a paper why I don't stand for the pledge. and my reasons have nothing to do because of the "under god" line, even though I'm agnostic.
If I don't write it, my teacher will fail me. This is a two part question-
1: Do you think it is unfair that I have to write a paper?
2: If you don't stand for the pledge, what are your reasons?

ALSO:
Does anybody have a link to a page about chief justice earl warren and how he made it so saying the pledge is not mandatory?

My teacher tells me that America citizens will vote 51st state of America is Puerto Rico next year.

Before America citizens veto Puerto Rico from became 51st state after 51% said no and 49% said yes.

It would be something to the effect:

"Theres no way a burning gas tanker could generate enough heat to bring down the bridge. The physics are impossible. This had to be the result of Haliburton explosives. The truth is out there!"

I applied for a re-entry permit last Mar.15,07 and they told me to wait for updates.
Last April 15, I expedite my application with return letter.. But until now they didn't response my letter....

I need to go to the Philippines this June to continue my college. I'm so worried now. I plan to leave the 3rd week of May. What shall I do?

Should i wait for them to approve before I leave or can i wait for the results while I'm outside the US?

I took my lawnmower blades in to a local service shop, in which i had purchaed a snow blower and lawnmower from them in the past spending at least 2K.

I dropped off my lawnmower blades on a Friday, for sharpening and was told they would be ready on the following Monday after 11:00am. Monday came and I arrived to pick up my blades on my lunch hour from work and the clerk told me they were not ready. He said they could work on it now and I told him he failed to fulfill a time commitment, and they never called me at home to say they woudn't be done on time. I asked for a discount for time and inconvience, which he had to get the manager. He told me firmly i would not be getting a discount, and that he could get right on it now and they would be done in 30 miunutes. This was not good customer service in my eyes. They were backed up he stated and also stated to me have YOU been perfect in your life? I told him to take some customer service classes and took my blades and walked out.

I don't recall a time in history when the United States protected Canada. Nor do I recall a time in history when we needed American protection. In fact, the only nation that has ever invaded Canada has been the United States.

Both countries are the best of friends, very connected, and should be proud of such a great alliance. But I don't understand when Americans throw the "we protect you" line at me when I debate about politics.

I don't want to hear Anti-American remarks, or Anti-Canadian remarks. I want to hear intelligent, coherent comments aimed towards how some believe the United States protects us from foreign threats.

.
Don't look to the congressional Democrats

The Democratic leadership in Congress is once again gearing up for a great sellout on the Iraq war. While the wrangling over the $124 billion Iraq supplemental spending bill is being headlined in the media as a "showdown" or "war" with the White House, it is hardly that. In plain terms, despite the impassioned sentiments of the antiwar electorate that brought the Democrats to power last November, the congressional leadership has made clear its intention to keep funding the Iraq occupation. For months, the Democrats' "withdrawal" plan has come under fire from opponents of the occupation who say it doesn't stop the war, doesn't defund it, and ensures that tens of thousands of U.S. troops will remain in Iraq beyond President Bush's second term.

on a joint green renewable energy program with the goal of producing 100% of both countries energy from domestic green clean renewable sources in 100 years with the goal of an 1% a year increase in over all energy production both countries consume annually? Why not it would be good for both countries equally, wouldn't it? Other countries could work for the same goal in concert with us if they wanted to, couldn't they? Hey, if a mutually benifical agreement that improves both sides standings can be achieved to replace hostile relations then why not?
