America has a bill of rights, France has something very similiar,
Japan also has a written constitution ( forced on them by the Americans ). Do you think this country would benefit by a codified
constitution.

We have been safe since 9/11 because we have a shitty government? We are envied and attacked upon idiots. Stop thinking we have no purpose in this war. Why don't you tell me what will happen when we pull out all troops. I have a brother there so dont' tell me I don't know about military actions. I shouldn't have to explain myself and why we are the best country in the world. Whatever happened to all the American flags on cars after 9/11. I think what happened in that Americans are wusses and haven't experienced hard times in so long they don't know what's going on right now. The world isn't peaches and cream folks. You defend what is ours and we have the best military in the world. The war may have gone on for too long and it's sad. Although, we can't pull out. Therefore, you must support our actions and our troops. Don't you know how it makes them feel when they are putting their butt on the line and you mock the whole idea of being there. USA is the best country and always will be.

A huge tree branch fell on my car, and scratched it up really badly on the right side. The weather is calm, so there was no sign of lightning or strong winds. My car was parked underneath the tree where I lease my current house. Is the landlord responsible for the upkeep of the tree? The tree fell out of no where. I'm frustrated and don't know what to do first. I called the police and one showed up, because my bro heard the snap, then a crash and that's when he came out to see that the tree was on top of my car. He noticed 5 people running away. The cop gave me a case number and everything and advised me to seek a lawyer for this civil case with the landlord? Help!

Why is it that just because someone is mentally "handicaped" they don't get served the death penelty?? I know they passed the law in 2002, but a man just raped a six year old girl and he got scared when the missing persons went national so he buried her alive in his yard...but because he is mentally "handicaped" he just gets to sit in jail??? They said he doesn't know right from wrong, So what lesson are they trying to teach him?? He's just gonna eat up our tax dollars...What caused them to make this law??

I am so sick of this ongoing war, I dont know what to do!! Peoples fathers/mothers, children/grandchildren, brothers/sisters, cousins, uncles/aunts, and friends are being killed everyday in this war we can't solve. Thousands of people have died and I really feel for the loved ones of these soldiers. They need to call the other soldiers home!! How many other people are sick of it? How many people have lost loved ones?

REST IN PEACE SOLDIERS!!!

Even though I'm against the death penality due in large part far too many have been wrongly convicted on faulty evidence and others have been set free on DNA testing it's difficult NOT to demand John Evander Couey recieve the dealth penality for the heidnious crime for kidnapping 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford, raping her and burying her alive in his yard.

How do you feel about a mericless crimminal such as John Evander Couey and what he did to that beautiful and defenseless child and the death penality in cases such as this where there is over whelming evidence as to his guilt?

I'm not a political genius, but why are so many people so quick to bash anything the goverment decides to do. Are you free every day to do what you want? Are you the most free country in the world wandering around not worrying about authority? If we pull out of Iraq do you think things will be better? They will be worse. Do you really think that war is so simple as to just leave and the US is so stupid to just put us in there with no purpose. Why is all of Hollywood so rude about the US and Bush? Can't we take pride in our country? Most importantly, I'm tired of everyone talking trash about war like that makes you into politics like you know some shi*. Who really like war people? Get your facts straight. Ok, now I'm ready for all of the folks to tell me what I've already read 20 times over. I'd rather have 1 bloke agree with me.

During the week I was astounded to hear george say that we need to stay the course in iraq and not leave early as the U.S. did with Vietnam.

Funny, but I was old enough to know what was going on during the Vietnam war and all my recollections, and those of others who were actually in Vietnam at the time confirm that the U.S. was kicked out of Vietnam. There was no 'early' withdrawal as Bush would have everyone believe after his little speech during the week.

Will this bloke stop at nothing in his attempt to justify the many deaths of not only U.S. soldiers but innocent bystanders?

Please don't go on about going after terrorists either. If he was truly fair dinkum about terrorists he would still be concentrating on Bin Laden and perhaps the CIA would have taken action before and shortly after 9/11 with what has been revealed about what they actually knew.

What is going on when the right is claiming that they care about civilian populations in other countries more than liberals, and they are pushing more government and less freedom? O but it's for our safety.
Saddam Hussein was a brutal tyrant that America supported and empowered for years. Now he's gone and things ARE WORSE than ever before!
We have had hinges installed upon our freedoms. Our foreign policy changed, so we may now attack those who we feel could be a threat in the future.
So in theory this great for our defense, but the first time it was implemented was over lies and deception. We are now in a terrible war that had nothing to do with freeing people or defending our country. So what is this war about.
I am not saying that I am pro or con, I just don't understand what is happening. All I see is smoke and mirrors.

There are many things that need to be addressed and matters that may worsen in the future if we do not start to reform the world we will continue to go to WAR and we should ALL be at PEACE with one another and find better ways to help ourselves rather than to suffer and fight with one another.

In our times of sanctuary cities and law enforcement not being able to report illegal immigration or enforce our immigration laws, it's widely known that anyone who speaks out is automatically branded as racist civil rights violators.

A woman is raped and beaten by an immigrant in an apartment hallway for over 90 minutes. Her calls for help and screams caused over TEN people to open their doors and look out. People were coming and going from apartments and simply walked right by. NO ONE helped her or notified the authorities.

Police found her unconscious in the hallway when they responded to another call about drunken behavior later that evening.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,294352,00.html

This is an atrocity. Are people SO SCARED to be branded racists if they report an immigrant committing a crime. Would they be branded racists and sued if they were to use force in removing him from hurting her?

Is political correctness breeding fear to report anyone for anything

So the Americans have done it again, Yesterday it emerged that the three soldiers died in Afghanistan when a US plane called in by British troops to attack Taliban insurgents they were fighting accidentally hit them with a 500lb bomb instead.

As well as reigniting the row over the lack of equipment provided to British troops fighting abroad, the incident threatens to escalate into a diplomatic row after the Tories said the Government should demand the cockpit recorder of the American F15.

Relations with Washington, already strained following criticism by US generals of the British in Iraq, could freeze if the Americans repeat the reluctance to give evidence to an inquest as they did in the case of L/Cpl Matty Hull, Comments please

I thought this was the land of the free? Why is it okay to limit a person's God given free will? Who are we to tell someone else what they can or can't do to themselves?

What someone chooses to do (or have done) to themselves should not be regulated by the law. This may include but is not limited to (Censorship, drugs, fine company, euthanasia, ...) I mean seriously, if you don't like it then don't indulge. But why force your view on others? Is it not enough that you simply don't participate? That is my opinion. Do you agree or disagree? Please tell me why?

Now, don't get me wrong here. All crimes against a 3rd party individual (murder, rape, theft, abuse, ...) that is conducted against the will of that individual should remain a crime. I'm simply asking for freedom here!
