A massively empowered Iran with control over the oil fields in the south of Iraq is one of the BEST case scenarios.

A massive Sunni/Shi'ite civil war ACROSS THE REGION, oil prices throught the roof and terrorists being bred by the thousand in a failed state is also very possible.

would you know what to do to be able to survive?

(Don't you wish you'd watched more of those survival shows now?) LOL

Who remembers the power black out?

Say that was permanent. Would total chaos have ensued or would people have managed somehow?

George Will said Re: Fair Tax

Mike Huckabee wants you to write a check for 300 thousand dollars to the IRS if you buy a million dollar home. Having read the fair tax book this is a lie do you believe Will is smart enough to know its a lie or does he not understand the difference between inclusive and exclusive taxes

Would it vary from state to state? Would the whistle-blower be protected as far as privacy? Is there a place you can find out the answer to these questions?

I think all of this religious pandering to the Big 3, Jew, Christian, and Muslim is counter-productive and dangerous to the entire world and all of it's people.

How about worshiping privately and then when you die you can live in the kingdom of YOUR God and live by his/her rules.

Here on Earth it's all subjective. No one really knows what happens after death. We can have laws and rules without religion.

And please....don't mention America...I know there are great countries in Norway/Sweden/Denmark who have amazing social systems...just want to hear more about places who really look after the people.

EG: Did you know that Denmark has dentists in the SCHOOLS. Every child has their teeth, including orthodontics (braces) looked after the entire time they attend school....for free.

Ok so this was someone else's idea but still it goes with my other question, which very few people GOT in the first place...they all took it personally whether rich or poor.

So let me word it this way and perhaps clarify because I'd like more focused feedback.

I quite agree with the person who posed this question this way because I think people in general, but mostly the poor and uneducated, allow themselves to be manipulated.

There are literally those with insufficient brain cells to possibly help themselves even if they could....this much is true regardless of where you want to bite me in the *** for saying so, but those who can, DONT. How many of you have actually picked up a phone and called someone in your government to complain about something, or emailed them and kept on their butts until they did something?

How many of you FIGHT in your school system, and gather together and take it to your school boards and get your trustees involved, etc.

I'm in the Canadian Navy, and we work closely with our southern counterparts. When I read those BS answers to questions like "Canada has an Army?!" I know it's not an American soldier, because they have seen us work and have a great deal of respect for us, like we do for them. Each country knows that the other is professional and highly trained, and a lot of dumb ignorant civvies don't get that. BTW, if you're a smart, informed civvie, forget my last, and thanks for the support on either side of the border.

It seems like a disproportionate number of movies, on TV this weekend, based on the USMC. Could it be an attempt, by the US government, to incite patriotism in the hearts of their young men and women, hoping to increase the number of new recruits?
Or perhaps they're just trying to make the inevitable, upcoming draft less disagreeable.

All over Europe from Eastern Germany to Siberia are mass graves of some of the 65 million murdered by the commies. In recent years these mass graves are discovered and the Jews rush in to claim them as Jewish, but they aren't Jews they are Eastern Europeans murdered by the Jewish commies.

The will is claimed to have been lost. there was a probate procedure but those children who were decendents of deceased decendents of the decedent were not represented in the procedures. In short, monies were distributed with personal interest in mind. I am needing information on what procedures to take in contesting the division of the estate as well as what methods to take in recovering a lost will. Thanks

My wife and I make about 100,000 to 120,000 a year between the both of us. That may not seem a lot to some people but I feel very blessed. To show my graditude My wife and I try to pay for at least two of our family members in Mexico a year to come here legally. Even with the money paid it still is a lot of work. I am determined to get as much of my family here legally as I can. I am so passionate about people trying to make a better life for themselves I am willing to open my own pocket book. I was just curious if anti illegal immigrant supporters have a problem with this even though its legal. In my opinion I think your a racist if you do have a problem with this.

Does it inspire confidence when U.K. airports are now employing 16yr old school leavers to be security. They do get the exact same training as all other applicants but wouldn't you want perhaps a bit of maturity in such a sensitive role.

I should point out that it is in fact the Government who allows this practice as the " overseer " of all airport security in the U.K.

your views....?
