Politics & Government - 5 July 2007

Am I the only one who thinks that it's a bit rich to expect the Governement to bale someone out who filled their house with expensive stuff but didn't pay a few hundred pounds to insure it or are all these people who claim to need help living in uninsurable houses?

The question was about this guy wanting to enlist in the Reserves-He wanted to know if he could request being deployed right away.
I told him that he should talk to his recruiter and explained the situation with my own family. This was his reply
"And all you ill-informed family members of military people without the faintest idea, well enjoy your CNN & Strabucks breakfast blend"
I was so offened! I sent this message to him-
"I find your comment about "ill-informed family members" to be rude and thoughtless. My father was a Marine in Vietnam, my step dad re-enlisted during vietnam, my two uncles were there, too. My Husband is a 9 yr Army vet from Dessert Storm, my twin 19 yr old sons are currently Marines, my 20 yr old son is Army National Guard ( along with my 19 yr old nephew) and my 21 yr. old step son is active Army. My family has sacrificed ALOT so that both you and me can watch CNN or go to Starbucks.
I'm sorry if I couldn't answer your question-I was only trying to help.."

Are we supposed to blame immigrants for the lack of health care, lack of benefits, high taxes, and not investgate corrupt politicians who accept money from HMOs and conspire to defaud US Citizens, and from the high taxes to pay for war

The egg of course, if a new species starts it can't be from a existing chicken all of a sudden changing into something else. So this means that two chickens created,ooops, had a new type of chicken. So the egg came first! What has this got to do with politics? Nothing really, but it does have to do with religious nut jobs thinking we came from a hand full of mud!

I don't know whether this is true or not, but if someone can post a poll showing that, I would love to see it. Are Republicans getting their four and five mixed up?...I know math is not their strong point.

We live in a society where we want competion of products ideas etc. Why would Democrats want their views force upon the public afterall they tried talk radio which requires people to listen and gives feedback from their audience and no one wanted to listen to them. By forcing their views on conservatives isn't this a indirect way of trying to kill off a medium that has given voices to people that do not follow the liberal doctrine?

Well actually it was my car, but my husband was driving . There was an on scene police report and the cop told my husband that it was the others fault. Now I have been receiving letters from their insurance company saying that we owe them and if we don't pay for their damages we will be sued.

I am on unsupervised probation for 1 year in Tennesse for a misdeamenor shoplifting charge. I met with my Probation officer for the first time 10 days ago, and he gave me a list of rules to follow, including NO drinking, NO drugs, cannot possess alcohol, may be drug tested, and other things. He never actually told me he will drug test me, but he did say I could not drink or do drugs.
My charge has nothing to do with Drugs or Alcohol, so it makes no sense to be tested.
Is he telling me this to scare me, or is it a good chance he will drug test me for no reason next time I see him? (5 days from now)
I could not have passed a drug test when I first saw him (Weed) And still can't (have stopped 10 days ago)
So basically,
Will they drug test me?
If they do and I fail, will I go to jail?

Why are Liberals not fussing over Al Gore's son being arrest the other day? They wouldn't have a problem fussing if it was the son of a member of the GOP.

and snarky supporters too!

Do the opponents of the electoral college realize that while
Bush received 500,000 fewer votes than Gore in 2000,
Kerry would have won the 2004 election with 3,000,000 less votes than Bush in 2000 if Kerry had just been able to swing Ohio?

Why are there no Republican journalists? It kinda makes sense. In college all the LIBS I knew majored in SEMIOTICS, Performance arts, and women's studies and other YAHOO filler university degrees.


Donation ratio appears to confirm leftward tilt in newsrooms --MSNBC

"MSNBC.com identified 144 journalists who made political contributions
from 2004 through the start of the 2008 campaign, according to the
public records of the Federal Election Commission. Most of the
newsroom checkbooks leaned to the left: 125 journalists gave to
Democrats and liberal causes. Only 17 gave to Republicans."

Why should we allow them to record our every action, but we the people, the supposed power in the country, cannot videotape them without a permit?

Why is the government slowly eroding our freedom? If they continue to convert rights into priveliges, eventually we will be left with NO rights.

I know that until you turn 18 you are considered a child but then why do a lot of public communities set the age of majority to 21? They let you drive at 16 but you're not mature enough to vote or drink. Or else you're mature enough to vote but not to drink?? For example the ice skating rink views people under 12 as children and people 21 and over are adults! I thought 18 was an adult!! What is up with this. Why cant they just set ONE age as adult?

Plus a lot of studies show that children stop growing at 22 or around that age, so shouldnt the definition of a child be someone who isnt done growing yet? Someone old enough to be responsible

I recently moved out of the dorms at my school and was fined for nail holes/ paint damage and im not certain to which one they are charging me for... I believe that this is a scam because at the beginning when i moved in they have you fill out a damage report prior to moving in so you wont be charged for damage caused by prior residents...this report says that there has been a room inspection prior to me moving in..so i didnt feel that it was necessary to report every hole or paint damage due to the fact that the reports states that all damage has been already recorded...what should I say to help me win this case and not be fined 63.00 dollars? Please Help? examples welcome!!!!!!!!

John Adams defended the British soldiers who ahd fired on a crowd of Americans. It was called the Boston Massacre. He got acquittals for 7 of the Redcoats, and lower charges than murder for 2. He later wrote that it was "one of the msot gallant, generous, manly, and disinterest actions of my whole life, and one of the best pieces of service I ever rendered my country."

John Adams stood up for justice, feeling it was essential to his country.

So why don't we allow the alleged (ALLEGED!) terrorist detainees at Gitmo to have a fair and vigorous defense based on the rule of law? Are we so afraid of them that we can countenance abandoning all notion of justice?

Is "Abdul" a Terrorist? PROVE IT or release him.

My brother friend went to an interview for hire They told him that he was only going to get $300 a week while in the academy so he turned down the job bc were he works now he is making way more.

Is that true you only make $300 a week (after taxes), not that i mind but I thought you get $25,100 in the academy. If you that much a week for 6 months is only $7200. For me its better then nothing but I thought I was getting more.
