Politics & Government - 14 June 2007

I often do, and although it is no longer illegal, it is still contemptible, and I am often stunned to hear someone in my party (as I was when it was republicans during Former President Clinton's terms) speak seditiously.

Here's what Wikipedia says about sedition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedition
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_and_Sedition_Acts
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_and_Sedition_Acts

Links to the actual acts are found there.

People don't seem to know the difference between disagreement (vs. treating other Americans as if they were the enemy);
dissent (vs. quitting because they didn't get their way in an election they had no trouble with BEFORE the election);
and protest (vs. violence, name-calling, rumor mongering, and treating our representatives as 'guilty until proven innocent').

Do you speak up when you see it? Only when it is the other side of the aisle? Or every time? How many patriots are out there, rather than political partisans who hate Americans?

Today at work a coworker approached me and spoke in another language which I am also familiar with since I am biligual. I answered him in that language and started talking about work in that language. Another cowoker walked by and noticed our conversation in that language, he started saying that we couldnt speak in another language that wasn't english. That person threatened to go to human resource and report that incident, I was wondering if that is a crime what i did. I do my work efficiently and speak english generally just that with this person we speak in another language because it comes natural. Thanks! Were can I get a copy of the employee work rules? Thanks!

1. Labels suck. You say something bad against Bush - you're a liberal. You say something pro-Bush, you're a conservative. What happened to being an intelligent, average American and seeing things for that they really are - no party-bias?

2. If Bush could run for a third term, there would still be die-hards that vote for him.

3. Americans have gotten lazy. We sit back on our couches in our living rooms criticizing every move Bush makes, but yet we were too lazy to vote to make sure he wasn't re-elected. According to the last election statistics, only 25% of Americans vote.

4. After the first election, the world blamed Bush for the disasters "America" caused in Iraq and elsewhere. After the second election, who do we have to blame but ourselves?

5. We've thumbed our noses at countries like France and Germany and made them look like world powers because THEY WERE RIGHT about Iraq and stood up to Bush.

6. How can we regain our elite status in the world?

Judging from the evidence that all the previous scientific accomplishments have been abused by the diabolic brain, be it meds, psyc, eng: meche /elece, poli/soc sc or computer.

The information that goes with controlling cancer tumors in the human body is so powerful that if juxtaposed in any of the afore mentioned environment and cause complete havoc society internationally.

Would it be wise to divulge this information to society at large? (hypothetically speaking)

I was arrested in 2004 for possession of stolen property, I was released later that day. I served 45 days community service. I completed probation and paid all fees. I later had my case and plea dismissed(expunged). Just wondering if this will stop me from becoming a correctional officer?

Over and over. You know you should get tired of doing it, but you do it again and again. Why are some people born with this tendency and the others just want to go around shitting on people?

People there are trying to cross into U.S border all the time. Why sit here and discuss measures that we should pass to stop them from coming over? Why not expand the U.S border into Mexico by invading them? We gain a piece of land, and they get to live in the U.S. There is no reason they would resist. Its a win/win situation.

I sit here night after night reading some of these stupid questions about Law Enforcement and how we are violating all of your rights and privileges.

Why can’t some people understand that the police are well trained and not a one of us is out to beat you up or kill you unless you force us too? You sell drugs, beat your wives, drive with bad licenses, steal, cheat and lie and sell drugs and it is our fault when you get caught?

Do you not understand that when we tell you to do something or tell you to stop resisting that if you do not comply you are going to go to the hospital instead of jail?

Why can’t some people in society get this?

Don't the terrorists/Al Qaeda just have to go to the areas of Iraq where there aren't any (or many) US troops & use them as sanctuaries?

Really unless you live in a handful of states does the election of president really matter? I voted Libertarian in 2004 eventhough I know who will get the votes in my home state of NY. People always make a big deal about how voting is important which it is but the one the make the biggest deal about, for president, seems to be the least important considering how the voting works. Even if you are a republican in NY your voice is not heard because the republican candidate does not get a proportion of electoral votes based on the popular vote. Is it just me or do we need to change the electoral college.

Eventually we all die, it's just about time and methods, I think everybody has right to live, and die, to die in dignity, nobody deserves to die in unbearable pain and dirty pants, most of time it's cruelty if you don't allow some people to let go, don't you think? life is your own, not other people's, If i'm diagnosed with cancer, I'll definitely choose euthanasia, death can't be avoided and prolonged.
