If North and South Korea were ever to reconcile and unite as one again...?

What kind of impact would that make politically and economically as far as world relations go.

Do you think they would be a threat to the U.S. or Japan?

Are illegal immigrants really a "drain" on the US's economy (hospitals, schools, jobs, etc)?

Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dalls, Texas might think so:

A record patient survey indicated that 70% of the women who gave birth at Parkland in the first three months of 2006 were illegal immigrants! Crikey, that is 11,200 anchor babies born every year just in Dallas. According to the article, the hospital spent $70.7 million dollars delivering 15,938 babies in 2004 but managed to end up with almost 8 million dollars in surplus funding. Medicaid kicked in $345 million, Dallas County taxpayers kicked in $31.3 million and the feds tossed in another $9.5 millon.

The average patient in Parkland's maternity wards is 25 years old, married and giving birth to her second child. She is also an illegal alien. By law, pregnant women cannot be denied medical care based on their immigration status or ability to pay. Ok. fine. That doesn't mean they should receive better care than everyday, middle class American citizens. But at Parkland Hospital they do.

Does it seem to you that maybe the Senate is listening to the AMerican people?

Iraq Withdrawal Move Thwarted in Senate
By ANNE FLAHERTY
Published: Wednesday, May 16, 2007

WASHINGTON - The Senate on Wednesday rejected legislation that would cut off money for combat operations in Iraq after March 31, 2008.

The vote was a loss for Sen. Russell Feingold, D-Wis., and other Democrats who want to end the war. But the effort picked up support from members, including presidential hopefuls previously reluctant to limit war funding _ an indication of the conflict's unpopularity among voters.

The proposal lost 29-67 on a procedural vote, falling 31 votes short of the necessary votes to advance.

Seems the socialists could only get 29 votes in the senate for their seditious efforts.

A.C.L.U. = Communism, right?

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/articl...

One of the greatest myths about the ACLU is that they started out as a noble cause.

The roots of a tree go deep. There is no question that it was founded on communist/socialist principles. There is no question to the founder of the ACLU, Roger Baldwin’s, ideals:
“I have been to Europe several times, mostly in connection with international radical activities and have traveled in the United States to areas of conflict over workers rights to strike and organize. My chief aversion is the system of greed, private profit, privilege and violence which makes up the control of the world today, and which has brought it to the tragic crisis of unprecedented hunger and unemployment.

Therefore, I am for Socialism, disarmament and ultimately, for the ABOLISHING OF THE STATE ITSELF and to seek the social ownership of property,
the abolition of the propertied class
and sole control of those who produce wealth.
Communism is the goal.”

The patriot act is patriot?

How is the patriot act good? How can someone support the patriot act? Does supporting the patriot act make you less patriotic? The patriot act does take away certain rights, this is a fact. So how can someone support the patriot act and then support the war in Iraq by saying we are fighting for our rights? It saddens me to know that poeple would rather be less free and THINK they are safer from terrorists. Do you think that america will be able to stop every terrorist? Does the government have a list of every terrorist group in the world that hates america? What happens after we get every Al Queda terrorist? Will there be no more need for the patriot act?

A hypothetical question for everyone?

If a presidential canidate of the opposite party of yours was able to ensure a victory in Iraq, and came through with it, would you vote for this canidate? But here is the catch, all of the other beliefs and values of this canidate would be with their party lines. So in essance, would you vote for the opponent if you knew they could win the war? Discuss your opinion either way, don't just say yes or no.

When Bush said he full confidence in Wolfowitz, was he lying, or is he retarded?

Its now know that Wolfowitz is resigning from the World Bank. Its was clear for a Month this would happen. Why would Bush have full confidence in a man the whole world knew was a fool, and would be resigning in disgrace? Is Bush really this stupid? He did say he had full confidence in Rummy, Brownie, Ashcroft, and Gonzales too. Maybe he really is a fool. Nothing like have an idiot lead the greatest country in the world huh?

We are guaranteed the right that the government won't interfere in our personal lives... but we are not guaranteed any "freedom from government" that I'm aware of. Can someone clarify?

Are non-smokers aware...?

that the vehicle you drive puts out more harmful pollution in a day than a smoker does in a month? Driving your kid to school harms them more than the dude on a smoke break.

And don't say you HAVE to drive. You don't. The last gallon of gasoline I bought was in 2002.
