I am for keeping the drinking age where it is, 21.
I am for raising the driving age to 17 1/2.
I an for raising the voting age to anywhere from 19 1/2-21.

some wisearse (usually a cop) always pipes up and tells me that I'd want their help if I was in trouble. I wouldn't! Why would I want to wait half an hour fot them to show up instead of taking care of the situation myself? If police want to put a stop to vigilante justice, why don't they start doing a better job themselves? I'm not saying that cops should be eliminated (per se); I'm, just saying that if an armed citizen is close enough to aid in a situation where someone's life is in danger and they would be dead by the time the police got there, I would be much more comfortable if citizens were given training so that they could handle such situations because, as far as I can tell, criminals outnumber police just about everywhere in this country (if not in the whole world).

not to recruits that are legally in the States but on a temporary visa? and who speak Arabic?
http://ap.lancasteronline.com/4/military_recruits_waivers
A friend of mine has been living here for about 3 years and he wants to join as a soldier translator aide. He's on a tourist visa. He contacted three recruiters and asked them if he can join. They all said no. He even asked them if they could sign a waiver, but they said they can't....he has to be a permanent citizen. They let dangerous criminals in but won't let someone who has a clean background and who is willing to help the soldiers with his Arabic. Does this make any sense to you?

How many Americans are being killed in traffic accidents by illegal aliens? As noted by a Media Matters article interview, Boyles guest acknowledges "no one really knows how many Americans per day are being killed by illegal aliens"as it is all a guess based on bits and pieces starting with the fact that nobody knows how many illegal aliens are actually in the USA.
The estimates on the number of illegal aliens in the USA range from a generally accepted low of 10-12 million to a few estimates of 20 or more million. Census Bureau Distortions Hide Immigration Crisis Real Numbers Much Higher says that thenumbers may actually be far higher.
For the sake of argument we??™ll use 15 million. A straight proportional participation of illegal aliens in traffic accidents can now be estimated. Thus 15 million illegal aliens in a population of 300 million is a 5% participation level. However, as some data have suggested, the participation may be much greater than the representation. In any case, as far as we are aware, no one tracks accidents or crimes by resident status. As previously noted, coming up with a more accurate number is complicated by the fact that the mainstream media seem to go out of their way not to report residential status of the person involved in a crime or accident. Even in some of the references used in this report you will have to dig deep to find the resident status of the perpetrator. Regardless, the number is considerable and we need to ask ourselves if having 5% collateral damage for a ???victimless crime??? is acceptable.
In 2000, the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety released a comprehensive report Unlicensed to Kill detailing the carnage being caused by unlicensed drivers. While the report did not identify if the unlicensed drivers were illegal aliens, it did note that of the 278,078 drivers involved in fatal crashes in the US between 1993 and 1997 some 3.7% were unlicensed, 2.7% were of unknown licensed status, and another 7.4% were driving on invalid licenses. The end result is that during the period, 42,049 people were killed in crashes involving at least one driver who was unlicensed, driving on an invalid license, or with a license of unknown status. The report also notes that DUI drivers also played a significant part in the highway carnage.
As previously noted, a high percentage of illegal aliens tend to drive without licenses. While the number of illegal aliens involved in the 278,078 fatal crashes during the examined period is unknown, if just 5% of the 42,049 deaths were caused by illegal aliens, that is over 2,000 American citizens killed during the five year period which is an average of 400 citizens per year. While the absolute number of traffic deaths caused by illegal alien drivers is unknown, but most likely much higher than just a 5% participation rate, how many Americans should needlessly die to save a few cents on every head of lettuce?How many hit and run accidents are there? As reported by Deadly Roads, as of November 13, 2006, there have already been 1,346 killed and 91,562 injured in hit and run accidents in 2006. Extrapolating for the year, 2006 will end up with about 1,540 killed and 104,700 injured by hit and run drivers. If the illegal alien population was responsible for just 5% of the carnage, that would result in 77 killed and 5,235 injured by illegal aliens in just hit and run accidents in 2006. However, as previously noted, the data suggests that the proportional involvement of illegal aliens is far higher. As noted in Not all Hit and Run Accident Victims Die, often the injuries are often crippling, life long, and require many years of treatments and hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars in medical costs.
Illegal alien drivers kill and injure far more children than alar and second hand smoke. Combined. Which got all the press?
So much for a ???victimless crime.???

Hello from Liverpool, England.

I have heard that there is a religious movement that protests at the funeral of US servicement killed on active duty and they have some pretty disgusting views about the men and women who have died.

Is this true?

If it is, is this group a cult?

No WMD's, no terrorist training camps, no support of terrorists.

The war in Iraq was, is, and will continue to be wrong because it was never justified. Justified would mean the benefits outweighed the terrible costs in human life and human suffering that wars cause. This one is so far from justified it's ridiculous to even argue about it.

So much for republican moral and ethical superiority.
