Could geographical expansion help cure immigration and economic problems?

In order for a capitalistic democracy to thrive, it needs new markets, and new areas in which to expand and develop.

Mexico needs to improve its economy and provide jobs for its people.

America needs to invest its capital wisely, and it needs a dedicated workforce to help it grow.

Could this be a match made in heaven?

I got a speeding ticket and my license taken away. It will take about two to three weeks to get it back.

I am 21 and get carded every time I go out with friends. I was wondering if there is a way that I can still go out with my friends for a drink without my driver's license.

If it matters I live in Illinois.

Don't you think it makes us close minded? If you're proud to be part of a group... imagine the pride of being part of the larger human community. Aren't borders just barriers that make us feel apathetic for those who live outside them? What's your view??

Both seem to be pointless. With the space program we spend trillions of dollars to study places 98% of us are most likely to never go when we could be using the money here on earth to build houses for the homeless, feed the hungry and send kids to college. We are all very well aware of the total money wasted on the War in Iraq. Could you imagine the house each of us could have with a portion of that money. There is no goal for the war. There is no mission anymore. So what do you think? Which one is more worthless than the other?

Don't we as Americans have the right to listen to any type of radio format? Does the MSM violate this with their liberal views? And what happened to freedom of speech? Does it only apply to our liberal friends?

My buddy and i have had this argument. He believes it's a felony, i say misdemeanor? is it either? He was trialed under the UCMJ (uniform conduct of military justice) which is military law, civilians cant be trialed under it, just active military members. He was trialed for conspiracy to larceny (insurance fraud) in a military not civilian court with a military judge. His max sentence could of been 1yr in a military prison, but he only got 4months and kicked out of the military. Is this a Felony, misdemeanor, or neither on his civilian record?

The Iraqi government is achieving only spotty military and political progress, the Bush administration conceded Thursday in an assessment that war critics quickly seized on as confirmation of their dire warnings. Within hours, the House voted to withdraw U.S. troops by spring.

Barbara Bush needs to pluck the chimp fleas from your ears or something?

My Uncle is involved in a situation that deals with the 4th Amendment. Evidently someone called the Cops on him for having a noisy dog and that it was also on the loose terrorizing the neighborhood.

The thing is, he doesn't have a dog. The Cops didn't believe him, demanded to be let inside, he refused, the officer threatened to arrest him and he did.

The supervisor was called and so was the Local ASPCA, they entered the house without a warrant and searched his backyard.

They didn't find the dog but get this, they took him to jail for disorderly conduct and gave him a citation for a dog without proper shots and tags. As of now this case is in court and the persecution is arguing that my Uncle did indeed have a dog but let it loose so as to thwart the Cops.

The issue of them illegally entering the premise has yet to brought to light, he's still fighting in court that he never owned a dog and has neighbours to prove it.

A lot of people feel that their belonging to a party is part of their identity. For instance "I am a Republican" can mean that being a Republican is part of who I am, not merely the party that you happen to align with.

How important is being a member of a party to you? How much is it part of who you are?

I wanted to know how you feel about the legal issues regarding prostitution. Leaving moral issues aside; is the giving & receiving of money for sexual acts really considered a crime? What justifications does the government have making it a crime?

Why is it that people are allowed to have sex with whomever they want (under consent) for free but when money is involved it becomes against the law?

Does anyone else think the same?

There are so many questions on here that are just pathetic, none of which have any political substance. They're all like:

Why have Republicans got fat a**es?
Why do Liberals eat turds?
Why are all Republicans closet gay?

Is this the sort of thing elections are won and lost on?

Before anyone says, "I don't see you making and better suggestions," consider this - shut up!
