Politics & Government - 7 June 2007

If you look at it from their point of view: We've got ICBM's pointed at them and they have them pointed at us. If we put up a missile defense system in Europe, it takes away the threat of a counter strike if we decided to launch on them. It will basically putting them in check-mate after all these years. Don't you agree that that's why they're so pissed off about it?

I think it is dangerous that these candidates who say they will look to their God for answers are being reckless and irresponsible with the Supreme Law of the Land, The Constitution.

Yesterday, while listening to NPR I heard the most interesting interview about how extreme political beliefs are processed in the brain. Basically, the study concluded, that the more extreme the political belief, the less likely it is to come from the most rational part of the brain. Or - the further away from center or moderate an opinion is the less rational the thought. This was not a study about politics, but a study of brain activity and its relation to political idealogy. Any comments or thoughts . . . Can anyone site the study - I was in the car and did not have pen an paper . . . Thanks.

Should the church be held accountable for helping people violate a law that they think is inhumane?

Extra for Experts: In the 1960s, was civil disobedience wrong because it violated the laws at the time?

A lot of people are angry that Paris Hilton only spent a few days in jail, but I don't think most people spend any more than she did.

Let me go into a little depth here.....You pay your hard earned money whether it is 25 dollars or 700 dollars to go watch a musician(s)

Do you find it appropriate that they preach their political views whether you agree with them or not.

I am not wanting to deny them of their constitutional right of freedom of speech and expresion, but money is coming out of my pocket to watch and hear them sing their songs and talk about those things......

I don't want to hear...."I love George Bush" or "I hate George Bush"

I can understand a comedy show, a political lecture, a debate, etc.....

that seems to be the one of the justification for immigrating illegally, little do they know that before the southwest was a part of Mexico is was part of Spain and before then it belong to the amerindians of the US not of Mexico

Guatemalans could use the same justification to migrate illegally into Mexico because the Mexican state of Chiapas was once part of Guatemala yet you dont hear them claim a 'Reconquista'. Also since the southwest belong to Spain before Mexico why dont they too claim a Recoquista. I tell you why because such idealogy is just plain ridiculous

God helps them who help themselves...

Should able-bodied people be "kept" on welfare their whole lives?

Would young gang members have the TIME and energy to be out shooting and robbing if the HAD to stay in school and GET A JOB?

Why don't we make the KIDS of welfare moms get a job at 16 like I had to?

Throwing money at them is NOT the answer. They need to learn to fend for themselves with ONLY a helping hand.
The more FREE things they get as children the more ENTITLED they feel about getting FREE things as an adult.

You are so mean to the kids RLP...no I'm not. The working poor can't get this for their kids BUT they at least instill a work ethic in their kids that is TOTALLY lacking in the people receiving welfare.


GOD HELPS THEM WHO HELP THEMSELVES...

Military families often struggle financially when the bread winner is deployed overseas. Wouldn't it be nice if oil companies offered free gas for the immediate families of deployed service members?

At a time when oil companies are making record profits, I think it would be the patriotic thing to do.

Few days ago at the debate pretty much every single Republican hopeful bashed Bush. Bashed his policies. Bashed his handling of the war. Said he ran as a conservative, but conducted business like a liberal.

So which is it Repubs? Has Bush done a poor job?

Or were they all lying?

If you disagree with someone is it just easy to write them off as a retard rather than answer their question? There used to be actual debate here about 7 months ago but it has all turned into childish name calling. Both sides are doing it.

We actually have 4,000 more in reserve, so that gives us a total of 10,000 nuclear missles.
I'm not asking this to cause a sh1t storm...
but, if you were president of Iran or North korea (or any country other then the US for that matter) wouldn't keeping up with nuclear technology be part of your country's national security? As a leader you do have a responsibility to defend your nation and your people.
If you weren't an American citizen (or if you are not one) how safe would you feel having a foreign country owning 10,000 nuclear missles?
