The sane, moral person would look at these atrocites and put political beliefs aside to say that it was wrong. But there are Americans who are willing to allow the cover up so as to not hurt the US's reputation. Has these types of Americans reached a new low in morals all for political reasons?

What do you think of the new law in South Africa to supply safe sex protection (condoms) and preganacy protection (like the pill and others) to kids from the age of 12 "without parental consent" in all State Clinics?

He may be our best hope, although my own preference is for Dr. Mary Ruwart. Paul for president and Ruwart for vice-president would be heaven!

My husband's grandmother is very ill. Grandma is in the hospital and her alcoholic/druggie daughter (husband's aunt) is using her house. SHe has another woman living there right now too (she met this woman in rehab). We believe they are cleaning grandma out - jewelry, checks, etc. We will be visiting the house today, kicking the women out and changing the locks. Need to take care of grandma's cats - how else can we protect grandma (not able to make own medical decisions or anything). Thanks for ANY HELP!

the price of owning a home is also on the rise, and I am sure there are millions of people who are sick or renting. So along with making sure everyone has healthcare, why not ensure that everyone has a home?

In fact, why don't 100% of our tax dollars support every single American rich or poor? does that sound like a good idea or do I sound as delusional and misinformed as some of these libs?

I didn't get one but this is just a hypothetical question.
What would happen if the police left a parking ticket when I wasn't looking? when I find it I would rip it up. And then the police question me and I say that the wind must have blown it away.

I know this has long been a pet GOP crusade and vote-snaring tactic, but have they been asleep for over a decade?

We had Welfare Reform in the 1990's. Welfare is a very small part of the Federal Budget. A muich bigger part of the Federal Budget is CORPORATE Welfare. They don't have a single peep to say about that! Also wasting a lot of money is waste, fraud, and mismanagement, especially in the Pentagon. They don't have any problem with that, either.

And where are these stingy pennypinchers (when it comes to poor people) when Haliburton is ripping us off by the billions?

Why are these people filled with such resentment about poor people that they make it their principal cause in life? It's not the money, since as I indicated, there are bigger wastes of money. They're just mean-spirited, tiny hearted people, that's all. And they probably think of all the "lazy bums" on Welfare as Black, so it's a disguised expression of racism.

"The judge said there was a pattern to Mr. Brown's efforts to keep all whites out of the county's Democratic Party, including holding party caucuses in private homes rather than public voting precincts and inviting only blacks to the meetings."
Blacks violated Voting Rights Act, federal judge rules
"If the same facts were presented to the court on behalf of the rights of black voters, this court would find that [the Voting Rights Act] was violated," Judge Lee said in his ruling.

My husband is supposed to ETS November 11th this year. We both decided about a year ago that we just want a simple civilian life to raise a family in. No deployments, feild excersizes, or other stressful interruptions. I personally just can't handle it when he's gone anymore. We're expecting our first child in september. Now he's been told that there will be a deployment next february and that stop loss will catch him november 2nd. 9 days before he gets out. He had been told that as long as he was on terminal leave before then, stop loss wouldn't effect him. Now they are saying that it will. Does anybody know about this? I would like to know what I need to plan for, moving away into civilian life, or preparing for a deployment and making preparations to raise my new baby alone. Please don't give me any crap about how I should have expected the deployments and that I don't support our military. My hubby served his time, now we just want a peaceful, deployment free existance.

Now that we have got rid of the *** smokers let us now get rid of the piston engine, that useless piece of engineering that should have been confined to history fifty years ago. I am an old man now yet as a young lad I drove an electric milk float, surely the oil companies are holding back progress. If what I read is true then the fumes from these old fashoned engines are killing millions of people every year as well as destoying the ozone layer.Is'nt There someone oit there who has the guts to start a movement to block the roads in our towns, cities and villages and even the motorways to force the goverment to change there policies? They won't do anything until they are forced to so it's up to us to make them. If the animal rights can do it illegally then surely we can do it legally? One of you out there will proberly go down in history as being the person to start the movement to get rid of the piston engine.

Will anyone ask them, how many jobs will be lost when a nationalized heathcare system is put in place? Wouldn't government run healthcare put health insurance companies out of business?

There is no right or wrong answer,it is not about whether it is a good idea. How much do you pay for your insurance and health care overall?

Afterall folks, they are Republicans ... with a real inner sense of getting to the very heart and soul of the crucial issues facing all Americans today.

You see them on here daily and to a large extent, they are receiving a check from the republican underground to divert your focus from what they are really doing to the United States ... attempting to marginalize those with brave, rational thought ... and cater to the fears and prejudices inherent in their base of supporters.

In responding to their inflammatory questions, the best thing to do is NOT respond. But, begin your own series of questions that addresses the true issues ... in an intelligent and articulate way.

Secondly, the Republican underground would love to restrict your informed and intelligent commentary to these buried forums ... it is important to advance your political thoughts to the water coolers at your workplace, your neighbor's fence, and your carpool. We must fight for the minds of every independent.

Nobody wants goverment Health care.........Geez..

Get a clue folks.

In an extensive ABCNEWS/Washington Post poll, Americans by a 2-1 margin, 62-32 percent, prefer a universal health insurance program over the current employer-based system. That support, however, is conditional: It falls to fewer than four in 10 if it means a limited choice of doctors, or waiting lists for non-emergency treatments.

My friend, who said she was good to drive, got pulled over and arrested for DUI while driving my car the other night. Problem is, the registered owner is actually my mother in law, who I very much do not want to find out about this. I was able to get around that at the tow place because they let her send a fax instead of come in person to release the car to me (I told her it was parked illegally). My notice from the cop said 'registered owner notified?' and it was marked 'NO'. Is there any reason they would send her a letter or contact her about it even though it said she wasn't contacted? I didn't receive a ticket or anything, just got the car towed.

Also, will I have to go to court for any reason? Since I didn't get ticketed and they just towed the car since I wouldn't drive it, I don't see a reason why I would but I'm not sure.

If USA and Israel say that they defend all Jews and that the existence of Israel prevents another Holocaust, why didn´t these countries defend those 2,000 Jews slaugthered in Argentina by a ( US backed , Ford -Reagan, ) military dictatorship.Was it because all that Jews were marxist activists,if that is the reason,well ... it can happen again and again , as Jews will always side to the left.

Partial list of Jews slaughtered in Argentina during 1976-1977.
May be you can find some of your kin in this list.

I have a friend who received several felonies for theft (larceny) in North Carolina. He got a good lawyer, but I was curious, what is the usual punishment for a case like this?

Will he go to jail? Be put on probation?

Are you allowed to live in another state while on probation?

I'm sorry, but I know nothing about things like this. Someone help!
