Politics & Government - 21 July 2007

I have had lots of exposure to the Indian and Pakistani population. Have you noticed that they own many gas stations, convenience stores and gift shops? They want us Americans to pay price for their business but yet if you have one of them wanting your services like cleaning, yard work, a/c services, etc. they are cheap and these people have money!! To me, this is degrading to us Americans!! They also own homes and rent them out to Americans and yet they won't keep them in proper repair!!

I think we need to boycott these people's businesses.

Any thoughts on this or the same experience?

My husband has been paying $41.33 per month for childcare. In addition for his child support. The problem is that the child hasn't been in childcare for some years. In fact, she turned 18 a week ago. Can we get this money back?

Enough of this 'hush hush', 'anti-semite' jargon. Only a truly open(and to criticism) society can be a democracy. Do you agree?

With "socialist" being the new spin word against Democrats, I have a hard time believing that many elderly people will vote Republican in fear of losing their social security checks.

This has been the main source of Republican votes my whole life and Hillary is making a giant stand for socialized healthcare while Republicans are moving toward privatization... which elderly people are wise to.

Mitt literally spends thousands of dollars on his make-up!!!

Or do the Republicans think Rudy Guillaini
is much prettier than Mitt because Rudy not only
wears drag style make-up but wears such
beautiful evening gowns to outshine even his own wife?

That are not based on facts?

THIS IS THE REPUBLICAN MOTTO...
"If you repeat a lie enough times,
then it becomes the truth"

Is that why Republicans can never post
their answers based on facts?

I've heard some people claim that the record companies are being immoral by ruining people's lives for what amounts to petty theft. This is similar to cutting off someone's hand for stealing a loaf of bread.

Therefore, it is claimed, that we are obligated to perform civil disobediance and refuse to give one more penny to the greedy record labels, and therefore we should not buy any musc.

Your thoughts?

Liberals - from my understanding, support the far left side of social issues in America...
The way conservatives uphold the right.

So, as far as WAR is concerned, why is it always such a party-line issue with both sides screaming "liberal" or "neocon"?

Who started that spin?

Is it time to reinstitute the draft? That option has a certain appeal as the Army fell short of its active-duty recruiting goal for June by about 15%. It is the second consecutive month the service's enlistment effort has slipped as public discontent grows over the war in Iraq.

Bringing back mandatory service has been the refrain of many who want to put the brakes on the Iraq war; if every young man is suddenly a potential grunt on his way to Baghdad, the thinking goes, the war would end rather quickly. It's also an argument made by those who are uneasy that the burden of this war is being unfairly shouldered by the 1.4-million-strong U.S. military and no one else. But a new report from the Congressional Budget Office this week makes clear that resuming the draft would be no panacea. The question is "will the war supporters and Bush supporters send their children off to war"?

Instead of saying idotic statements like:

1. "I believe in limited free speech."
2. "I believe speech should be free as long as it doesn't offend people."
3. "I believe in free speech but you can't just say anything you want."

China gets blamed for being the greatest poluter but they have twice the population of Europe and 4 times that of America. the real issue is how much polution per person, That is like blaming small countries for controlling the UN when that could be changed to votes per population of the country. But they dont want that because it would mean asia controlling the un ,when it is far easier to bribe small countries with a few crumbs
