ABC News' Rick Klein Reports: Former Sen. John Edwards on Friday fired the latest round in his ongoing verbal feud with Ann Coulter, calling her a "she-devil" at a public event before quickly adding that he shouldn't engage in name-calling.

Edwards, D-N.C., was railing against the right-wing media -- including Fox News and Rush Limbaugh -- when he reminded a crowd in Burlington, Iowa, that his wife stood up to Coulter in a public spat earlier this summer.

Occasionally, you read about people who have suffered amnesia -- total loss of past/recent memories and sometimes even knowledge of their identity. Suppose that it was discovered that such a person had, before suffering amnesia, committed a crime. Assuming that the person really does have amnesia (and therefore, would believe he is answering truthfully when he says "No" in response to "Did you commit the crime?"), do you believe that such a person should receive the legally prescribed punishment for the crime? What if the crime was first-degree murder? How would your answer be affected if you knew that he might, someday, recover his lost memories?

A lot of people from Mexico entered into the country legally Is it fair to say those people who waited and waited in line and at last made here would want to reward many others who ignored the legal way to get here by sneaking across the border. Should the Hispanincs be going back and asking for a refund for the pride and joy of waiting into the land of milk and honey would rather expect that if that can wait and save and do without in order to get here would they not expect others to do the same? Is it fair to just Hispainc and everyone is suppose drop everything to help others who refuse to do the legal way even knowing if the illeagl ones here are able to send back to Mexico billions of dollars. It all comes down to what is right and moral to what is not. Fake documents are not approved by God regarless of what it brings. Job is a good example. Suppose Job left and said Lord it's too hard . Suppose he took off to another country instead of staying and having no faith.

Why is it that people like me are called pro-illegals?
I mean no one wants open borders & more illegal immigration. I just think that illegals are a convienent scapegoat. I know this country needs some amount of temporary workers to do jobs NO ONE else will do. Heck I know people that HATE illegal immigration but still believe that we need some form of legalization for some of them

No one's saying
"Ah shucks why not? Let em all in"

I would like to know how many people who complain on here vote. I'm willing to bet that a good number of the people who complain here don't vote because they are afraid of getting jury duty....

What will be the reaction of the European and Baltic Nations?What will China and Japan do since both are dependent on Middle Eastern Oil. How about Israel which then would be sitting right in the middle of a hornet's nest.

Two Liberals are building a house. One of them is putting on the siding. He picks up a nail, hammers it in. Picks up another nail, and throws it away. Picks up a nail, hammers it in. Picks up another, and throws it away.

This goes on for a while, and finally his friend comes over and asks him why he is throwing half of the nails away. He replies, "Those ones were pointed on the wrong end." The buddy gets exasperated and says "You idiot, those are for the other side of the house!"

Not all hispanic people are illegal immigrants and even the ones that are don't deserve that kind of treatment. Unless you are full Native American I don't wanna hear it.

Why would a cashier who fails to check ID Get a harsher punishment for selling tobacco or alcohol to a minor than the person whos doing the buying and drinking? Also cashiers under 18 can still sell tobacco legally. And they'd still get the same punishment so I don't think you can say its because the cashier is supposed to be older or more mature.

I've heard it's at least 35,000. The Commie Chinese government places them in places like hospitality industry, restaurants, computer repair, telecom companies, etc.

They like the hotel and restaurant workers overhearing conversations and they steal data with computer techs and intercept transmissions at telecoms.

No other country has anywhere near as many spies in the US.
