Politics & Government - 31 July 2007

Is it really our duty to export our political system to regions of the world where it collides with religious dogma? Can it really be sustained organically? Call me nuts but I don't see how Islam and Democracy can stroll along together. Both are forms of political rule. It's precisley why the consitution stipulates the federal government to remain hands off when it comes to religion. We'd been down that road in the past with monarchial regimes in Europe and their duality of rule. Are we kidding ourselves that after centuries of Islam it will be displaced by voter's rights?

Unions can be a good thing no doubt.But they can also Bankrupt a company by demanding excessive pay.Take General Motors as an example.Do you think companies hire these illegals to avoid these unions which do this?

I've seen documentaries and had friends in the army, and have heard about the demeaning way people are treated when they enter. Is this done to strip of all emotion and break them down into mindless drones? I dont know, but that is the conclusion I'm starting to come to, especially after seeing high school friends leave for the armed forces, and returning as hyper masculine people that I cant stand to be around.

Isn't "Experience" just a long list of debts that need to be paid once the new president reaches office? It’s not like anyone has experience being the PotUS.

If you get chargerd in 98 sentenced then get out in 99 can they hold you to the new law of 99. I ask cause someone I know son got caught smuggling drugs in 98 he was charged and sentenced then released in 99. The new law of 99 stated that all criminals charged of the offense who are not citizens of the U.S. get deported. He got deported even though he got busted in 98 and not in 99. Also he was deported to the wrong country. Any help? Its just for the knowledge.

Just in general I wouldnt be to worried about it, but i have these friends who are mormon and they seem totally awesome. They are some fo the few who have their priorities in line and their heads on straight. If Mitt has the same traits as the other mormons ive known id think he'd be awesome for the job. What are your opinions???

I am in a partnership with two other people and wish to dissociate from it. We do not have a partnership agreement, but we have all invested unequal amounts of money into the business. I am only interested in getting back my investment and do not want to be a part of the business. I want to limit my liabilities if they wish to continue the business.

Can I dissociate from partnership w/o partners consent? When I dissociate am I still obligated to my current responsibilities or am I "free" from the partnership? I'm assuming the dissociation happens once my partners receive my notice to dissociate because we do not have an agreement stating otherwise.

I could continue searching, but my point is made. These jobs are not in the fields or on roof tops. All are jobs that once belonged to American workers, men and women with families.

Clinton - I am not into her at all. I think she's intelligent, and a formdiable candidate, but, I like Joe Biden so much more. I think he is brilliant and way better than Clinton and all the rest of them.

Most people that I have read on here stated that they would support Biden over Clinton as well. So, why is he so behind in the polls? I understand money, but, even if you're disliked so much like Clinton, is that still enough to gain such a nomination? I think that's wrong. Very wrong.

Do you think Biden will gain momentum?

I am a contractor and i feel like i got cheated at small claims court. The lady, a former customer, sued me for 1276 and won. The issue is that she works at the small claims office and i feel this influenced the judge's actions. He didnt pay attention to the contract, cut me off when i spoke, and awarded more money than was due. What can i do? I know i can appeal within 10 days, can i get it moved to another court? Would an attorney take such a small case? Any help would be appreciated!!!

Okay, I would rather the radicals not answer this question but that is dreaming. To all Liberals and Conservatives. Honestly please. Do you REALLY agree with EVERY view on your side and DISAGREE with EVERY view on the other side? Or is it just the major points? I can agree with some views from both sides. Am I in the minority like it seems?

I think it will be Clinton as the nomination, but I don't see her picking Obama.

I see it being Richardson.

I am 28 and thinking about a career change (I have taught for 3 years)and joining the military (I almost did out of high school, but I got to play college football). Since I now have a degree, I would like to join as an officer. What types of jobs would my degree qualify me for? Also, does joining post college get any kind of assistance to pay back student loans?
