Since liberals and conservatives view the world from opposite ends what then do we teach the kids .
They learn from watching us that fighting ,killing ,divorce and ignoring the problems of others is common .
That justice and morales change every few decades and the future is uncertain .
That war not peace will be around for a long time and that Jobs and money define who you are .
SO do you want your kid to grow up and make bombs ,practice law and join the police department and make his living off the misery there seems to be plenty of .
or
Make some major changes rather then Continue as before year after year .

How can we teach anything except evolution . That religion should be taught like we do the Greek Gods as legend and mythology .That when your kid asks the hard question where do we come from you say science still does not have a definite answer . About 15 billion years ago an event occured as best we can determine .

I always see the "Do liberals think there is any war worth fighting?" question, and thought I would turn the tables. Do conservatives think there is any program that is worth using your tax money on, besides invading other countries and helping their citizens?

I recently read an article which pretty much critcized Memorial Day as a mere attempt to convince ourselves that "sending our children off to be maimed, mutliated, etc" is noble and heroic.

Your thoughts?

I see a lot of hateful people in Yahoo Answers Politics. Has your hate ever made someone stop and say, "You know what? You're right. You've changed my mind."?

If not... don't you think that rational discourse is a better way to get your point across than hateful, nasty rhetoric?

"Good-bye America ... you are not the country that I love and I finally realized no matter how much I sacrifice, I can't make you be that country unless you want it."

"It's up to you now."

"When I started to hold the Democratic Party to the same standards that I held the Republican Party, support for my cause started to erode and the 'left' started labeling me with the same slurs that the right used,"

"I guess no one paid attention to me when I said that the issue of peace and people dying for no reason is not a matter of 'right or left', but 'right and wrong,'"

"Casey died for a country which cares more about who will be the next American Idol than how many people will be killed in the next few months while Democrats and Republicans play politics with human lives. It is so painful to me to know that I bought into this system for so many years and Casey paid the price for that allegiance. I failed my boy and that hurts the most."

That's what Obama says his plan will cost...seems like a lot of money, until you realize uninsured Americans are already costing taxpayers 43 billion a year.

I think the majority of Americans are pretty moderate. However, each party is represented by their extreme fringe which causes division and lack of understanding. If people would stop looking to party leaders on issues and think for themselves we would all be better off. Am I the only one who feels this way?

I signed a contract with my employer in UK. The notice period clause

From employee - 2 month (when on client projects)
From employee - 1 month (when on non-client projects)
From employer - 1 month for up to 4 yrs of service thereafter 1 additional week for each yr

I am working in IT sector and most of the projects are client projects only.In this comp , all are client projects. When i signed, i assumed client project means working on client site but now they are saying that it means any client work. on client site or company office. Clause is ambiguous.

Also, i got a mail from HR where she mentioned about notice period and asked me to serve for 2 months because i am at client site. I replied that i am not at client site and working in comp office. I have forwarded that mail to my personal id for proof that clause is ambiguous

Also, if i give them 15 days notice and offer them money for rest of notice period is it ok? or do i need to be with comp for full one month?

Is a God required for people to believe in treating people how they would want to be treated, to endeavor not to intentionally hurt others and to try to make amends to others for any mistakes?

Why do religious people believe that the universality of human experience somehow isn't enough to instill those values?

my father-in-law who is a drug addict and has been to prison twice... once federal and once state showed up at my door in a drug induced rage and assaulted me. He was arrested and has been in jail for 3 days now but is supposed to see the judge today. I got a restraining order to protect myself in case he does get out. I dont know if he will get out or not. The police officer wanted to press felony on him because I have a serious heart condition and he is aware of my condition and was putting my life in danger assaulting me. But IF he gets out...... how long does the restraining order last and what happens if he breaks it?

I've heard people call Bush every name in the book because we are at war and how he is personally responsible for killing American soldiers. How can anyone even be a Democrat after Kennedy and Johnson escalated the Vietnam war which resulted in the deaths of nearly 60K American soldiers, over 300K casualties, and the deaths of at least a million Vietnamese?
I would also like to add how screwed-up we were during the Carter years and how Clinton did absolutely NOTHING but hide reality from American during his administration. I bet the average American didn't even know anything about Al-Quaida even though they had already attacked us and were planning the attack on the WTC.
