I always hear conservatives complaining about democrats wanting to raise taxes, even the republican candidates say thats all democrats want to do, but when bush came into office the debt was 6 trillion dollars, and now its over 9 trillion, how can we take care of this without raising taxes? and why hasn't Bush done anything about this? Does he just want to pass it on to our children? Say what you want about Clinton but at least he left the country with a budget surplus and lowered the national debt. Bush has increased it by 50%

NOT a 9/11 "Truther"?

Reason: The position of the Student Scholars is that 9/11 was executed by the U.S. government. Do you agree or disagree with that?

Paul: I'd say there's no evidence of that............

Well, I think the more we know about what we went on is good. But I don't think there's any evidence of [an inside job] and I don't believe that.

He's not shy about conspiracies, from Bush "...attempting to set in motion a militarized police state in America by enacting gun confiscation martial law provisions.." to "..foreign troops are mobilizing outside and inside America to be used as assets in a martial law takeover by the Bush administration..."

The people who will end up getting the raw end of the deal with this bridge collapse are the people of Minnesota. The injured will sue for a large amount of money and the tax payers will have to dish the money out. There taxes were supposed to be going to make sure that this didnt happen. A prison term for the mayor would hold him accountable for not making sure that the money from the tax payers went to help the roads. Now there are at least 4 dead tax payers.

What we Americans need to understand is that some people only act civil out of fear of punishment. This was the case of the Iraqis from 1979 to 2003 (Saddam). Look how well behaved they were then. What we need to do is give Iraq a strong leader to force the Iraqis to act civil. Under this new govn't; stealing, rape, murder, or threats against the new govn't shall result in public beheadings or severe lashings. It is cruel, but it is the only language these people understand. Put these policies in effect and lets see how long the insurgents last when they see their comrads get decapitated in public.

If you answer this question will your government spy on you because I am in Canada? Bush considers Canada and Mexico to be overseas after all.

If you have booked a holiday and then something happens and you get a doctors note to be off work for longer than your holiday but it also covers some of the days you were on holiday can you then re-claim those days back as holiday? If anyone knows any websites with more information on this it would be a great help to have that as back up!

After my child is born in Jan of 2008, about 2-3 months after I want to get my child baptized as a catholic under their God parents, and I know that a baptized isnt a legal document. So I wanted to make the God parents legal if something were to happen to me and my husband, so I figured legal guardianship. So I was wondering how to I establish it? How do I make it legal? I know to go to the court house, but what to ask for? I live in the State of Maryland. I just want to make sure everything is perfect, and my child will have a place to go if anything were to happen, so I do want to make it legal, and not have something that the grandparents have to fight for...

I keep racking my brain on why people think Bush should be treated as if he is war criminal? I don't like him...but he is not "offing" people like Hitler. How about the nations in Africa killing their own people by the hundreds of thousands and we sit and do nothing. Well, we did try in the 1990 in Somalia...but, that didn't work. And the UN doesn't care either.

what would you do if you knew some-one who works at the same place as you, was helping themselves to stock, without paying, have reported to the manager already but this person still gets away with it, and now found out that certain customers are getting things for free too. I have confronted the person before but with no joy,
the person does not work the same shifts as me but i don't want to be a suspect for stock loss.
