Politics & Government - 24 August 2007

Do you find it appalling that conspiracy theorists often try and appeal to emotion when they say things such as, "we dedicate this to the lives lost during the tragic events?" For instance videos that try and disprove and support their claim.

Granted, it's smart and effective media and obviously appeals to some, but I find it outrageously disgusting and very discomforting that there is blatant disregard to the families and their loss.

My entire life I have wanted a job regarding criminal law. I've always thought I could handle it, I'm graduating in three years and I'm so sure that's what I want to do. Just five minutes ago I was looking at random sites on the internet and I found these two...

...the first really facinated me, and the second just made me sick. I mean these people...they're normal. Sure they've done horrible things and diserve to be punished, but they're PEOPLE. I mean...this is a list of what they last wanted to EAT. And...when I read this it scared me so much. Now I'm thing Criminal Law isn't for me...how the you people handle this? Am I just weak or does everyone feel like this after they read something/ see something like that??

We went into Iraq with the noble cause of freeing the Iraqi people from a Tyrant who killed many of his people and his sons who where learning his trade.Iran is trying to prevent us from freeing the Iraqi people as they want their people to live in fear of terrorism,and to control there government.Is it time to take on the Iranians who are the main supporters of terrorism in the world?.

...At this particular point in time, knowing what we all know of each presidential candidate and their platforms - Who do you believe will get the Dem or Rep nod for the Presidency (& with whoever for a running mate) and what do you base your belief on? Please think earnestly and carefully before answering. Maybe, if the candidates see this, they can gain some insight as to their mistakes, right choices, stupidity with their comments, etc. Sometimes it takes an open forum like this to wake them up!
Looking forward to all you good folks checking in and commenting!

The only reason I want to join the military is because I want to be a police, so I can have an advantage in the academy, so does it mean you serve for two-three years and then quit or get out? How does it work?

Hey Ladies-

I am getting a box ready for our local support our troops to send out to our troops in Iraq. I have the usual-gum, baby wipes, hard candies, sunscreen, chapstick, calling cards, etc. But I am wondering........I make handmade soaps and some bath & body products. Would those be useful (like girly treats?) over there--or not? I have little 2 oz body sprays, some lotions and bath salts etc. Obviously body butter is out but would this stuff get used there--or should I stick to basics? Also--anything else you found useful over there? I also **heard** that disposable baby diapers are used for a instant desert shower (fill with water and squeeze over your head) hmmm, ever hear of that? Suggestions welcome!

Im kind of stuck. Im a 16 male, and looking to join the armed forces after college. Yet, i've been told that i am too smart to join the military. Im pretty smart and want to go to college, maybe an acadamy. But i am unsure of which branch would be right for me. I have a strong interest in the Army Rangers and the Marines, but im not so sure which would be the better choice.

Veterens only please, thanks.

Why would anyone vote for a political party that supports higher taxes, criminal rights over victims rights, minority special privledges, abortion on demand, expanded welfare programs that benefit the lazy, political correctness, illegal immigration, gay marriage, government healthcare and a terrorists bill of rights while standing against our military mission in Iraq, a free market capitalist economy, limited federal government, national sovereignty and autonomy, free religious expression in the public square and personal property rights?

I think it has to do with what the media portrays of him. He's a nice person. Everytime someone mentions him flame wars start.

Many people do not realize many of his disicions are influenced by others at capital hill. If he made a bad choice, it was not all him.

Bush then be know as the cut & run President & if not what should he be called? The Dems in Congress had nothing to do with it because it will be Bush's own Generals recommending it. And if Bush is a cut & runner should he be impeached for doing it because he will basically be a terrorist appeaser?

I see how someone said that they won't let me in with 2 DUIs, but my recruiter has seen people with worse records get in. Now I don't know if that means 3 DUIs or more severe crimes but there is an old saying that you have to have a DUI to be a Master Chief. I know that with more than 3 convictions of any kind you are not getting in, I don't care what they say. I just don't see why my recruiter would lie, he called me as if there was no problem getting in when I asked on the military website.

The thing that got me thinking is when i read about repeat offenders and the limited choices they have in life. They don't want to steal but how can they not if they have don't know what else to do.

It seems like every time Bush gets backed into a corner, he tells us that we are all going to die unless he gets more power.

The point of terrorism is to make people afraid, so that they will do something they would not already do. Why is Bush telling us that we are all going to die? Is he trying to make us do things we would not normally do? Why is he helping Bin Ladin make us afraid? Shouldn't a real leader tell us to be strong, not infants?

If we transferred all of our electrical production to wind, solar, and coal and away from oil. Then moved our heating away from home heating oil to electric, natural gas, and geothermal. Then we increased the mileage on our vehicles to over 45 mpg. The price of oil would go through the floor, since we use most of the world’s oil. Then the billions that flow each year into the Middle East would dry up. Their leaders would go from living in luxury to worrying about how to feed their people, since they import a large part of there food. They would no longer be able to spread terrorism because they would be looking for food, and the US has the largest potential to produce food for export. We could sell them food discounted rate so they become dependent on us. Then they can not attack us for fear of starving.
Do you think it would work?
