I find the ad for "the onion" on the myspace.com homepage with Bush incredibly offensive. No matter if you agree with him or not this is UNCALLED FOR! Aren't there laws against stuff like this?

Don't you think it would save considerable embarrassment when one goes astray? You could just say they were human if they didn't have that "moral majority" cross to bear.

When it is unconstitutional and illegal? It runs against the definition of liberty when the government has control over the produce of your life.

Wasn't it Bush senior that started bragging about it?

Are the Neocons now ashamed of the connotations surrounding the phrase?

Who is to draw those distinctions? And how? Based on what? How can we say we should have unlimited freedom in one area but limited freedom in another? Isn't it that we all want to do different things and that these "areas" are just artificial distinctions - sought by people who want "the freedom" to do what THEY want to do but to limit someone else's freedom to do what he wants to do?

How can one support sexual freedom but not commercial freedom? What's the difference? You want to have sex - I want to buy something. Someone else might want to travel somewhere. Yet another might want to read something you or I might find offensive.

Isn't the only acceptable limit the built-in limit - that one cannot be free to limit another's freedom? Otherwise isn't my right to buy or sell something as sacrosanct as your right to have sex with a willing partner?

did capitalism really beat the Soviet Union? the Soviet Union entered the cold war with fewer resources and a higher poverty rate than US, after having endured over 100 years of imperialism. america entered with a head start, and a good economy because no one tried to cheat it. america won because it stayed in the wealthy condition that it was in, the Soviets lost because they could not get out of the poor condition that they started in quick enough.
Is this fair play? we cannot conclude that the Soviets lost...

And if not, doesn't the freedom of consumers require the freedom of producers?

If the government says "you can't produce X" isn't that just the same thing as saying "you can't consume X?" After all, producers don't decide what to produce because they think that's what people ought to want - they produce what consumers are willing to pay enough of a premium for that they can made a profit after the cost of making it.

Civil Rights Act of 1964 vote by party:

The original House version:
Democratic Party: 153-96 (61%-39%)
Republican Party: 138-34 (80%-20%)

The Senate version:
Democratic Party: 46-22 (68%-32%)
Republican Party: 27-6 (82%-18%)

The Senate version, voted on by the House:
Democratic Party: 153-91 (63%-37%)
Republican Party: 136-35 (80%-20%

As you can see a much higher percentage of Republicans voted for the bill.

Please don't give me the lame comment about racists moving to the Republican party. As long as you've got a former officer of the KKK in the senate, in Robert Byrd D-WV, that argument doesn't fly.

Lies and misinformation are the Decmocrat Party.

I recently found out that my father died without a will. My stepmother hid that information. Said he was broke. I found out that he was worth $200,000. Since there was no will, aren't I entitled to a childs part? My stepmother despised my sister and I. Is it to late to take her to court he died in 1996.

This would include stealing them from wherever they're kept, shipping or flying bombs to Iraq, then pretending they weren't ours. On the other hand, our government is capable of doing a lot of stuff secretly.

Some artwork from websites like allposters.com and art.com have prints, posters, and/or signs for sale that have no author listed underneath like most of the media. Does that mean that the artwork is public domain? There is no copyright information available. Here is an example:

as opposed to this, where the author is clearly defined:

Jet2 are basically claiming something was said on one of the calls I made to them and it wasn't would they let me have a copy of the tape? Also the person I spoke to was foreign and I seriously didn't understand some of what he said.

The problem is I spoke to 2 people and neither mentioned ridiculous increases in charges. Would they send tapes if it meant I possibly had a case against them. I accepted there was a charge but they are disputing whether I was told if the charge was increase ten fold over a few days.

Perhaps the most quoted phrase in all of the founding political documents of the US is found in the Declaration of Independence: "...all men are created equal". "Created" is a key word. Hence, when we are born we are creatd equal. What one does with his life thereafter causes the disparity in our society, including economic disparity. Yet, Hillary proposes to engineer society so that all are economically on the same footing. Did our founding fathers intend this or is trampling on the Declaration of Independence?
