If the US is a democracy, then why do we have both democrats and republicans as the main parties? And why was the US referred to as a republic in the Pledge of Allegiance?

I am not anti-semetic but I disagree with the way that modern state of Israel was created and also the way it now treats the Palestinian people. Thoughts please.

I know the obvious answer - voting.
But say most of the population disagrees with the war - why wouldn't we have a say? It is our country.
Say that most of the population disagree with how their taxes are spent - shouldn't they have a say? It is our country.

The government is supposed to represent us. Why wouldn't the public's opinions count?

PLEASE do not make this a conservative/liberal debate. That's not what I'm looking for.

I'm thinking of joinig the Navy one year from now. Basically, I'am a junior in college and have one year left in my studies. I was thinking of exploring the world before I apply to graduate school, and I heard the Navy is good for that. I' am thinking of doing a one year commitment in the Navy, no more than one year. Is it possible?

If we leave then they can fight it out and we can keep our kids safe. Staying there only creates more hostility on their end. and we've already dumped every person's future chance at social security by spending way too much already. Why would leaving be so bad?

I always see Conservatives attacking Liberals and vice versa. Why can't people on other sides of the political fence ever agree to disagree or at the very least have intelligent and diplomatic debates on opposing issues! It's very seldom that I hear either side making a good point without attacking the other sides credibility, sanity, or motives. Give me a break people! Grow up!

1. Who was the Democratic Vice Presidential Candidate in 1984

2. Who won Survivor 1

My guess is probably 80-100% will get 1 right, and maybe 50-70 will get number 2.

Iraq’s prime minister lashed out Wednesday at U.S. criticism, saying no one has the right to impose timetables on his elected government and that his country “can find friends elsewhere.”

Bush on Tuesday said he was frustrated with Iraqi leaders’ inability to bridge political divisions. But he added that only the Iraqi people can decide whether to sideline al-Maliki.

“No one has the right to place timetables on the Iraq government. It was elected by its people,” he said at a news conference in Damascus at the end of the three-day visit to Syria.

“Those who make such statements are bothered by our visit to Syria. We will pay no attention. We care for our people and our constitution and can find friends elsewhere,” al-Maliki said

So, if he DOESN'T sell it, he'll be charged? How utterly ridiculos!!! And if he is taxed, is it a one time only tax? What if a minor caught it, and the minor is an orphan? (NO guardians AT ALL). Is it just me, or is our government GREEDY???

Banks have been being robbed for hundreds of years. Why don't they wake up to the level of the threat and tighten up their security tactics? It's very suspicious to me. Is it a little suspicious to you too?

I'm a retired private investigator. I'm suspicious of everything and everybody. I'd rather be suspicious of something that's really innocent, than ignore something that is a potential threat.

I welcome your comments. Thank you in advance for sharing your views and opinions.

My mother use to sell products for a certain company whose name I will not mention she decided to stop and returned their products to them. She dropped their products off at the companies office and the reps even saw her do it and told her it was okay she would not owe them anything. After a few months the company started calling her saying she owed them money because she never returned the products, she told them she would not pay them a cent. Now they are having a collection agency call her and telling her that she should get a lawyer. This collection agency calls everyday. I have been reading on the internet that this company has done this to many people and has the same agency call people saying they will be sued. Both of these companies are legit. My mother returned all the products in mint condition, they weren't even opened yet. Can she be sued or forced to pay if the company still claims that she didn't return them?

Our solders of war are standing on street corners asking for help or money to survive. Dont you think that our solders (expecially if they were injured) should be set for life and not have to struggle to stay alive or be homeless? I want to cry every time I see this.

shouldn't the government stop providing all types of benefits for illegals first? After all, if we weren't giving them another reason(all types of freebies) to come here illegally, maybe it wouldn't be as big a problem. What do you think?
