Politics & Government - 18 September 2007

Do we want idiots choosing our governments? After all 50% of the population is below average intelligence.
A simple intelligence and general knowledge test at the beginning of the ballot paper should weed out the most stupid voters.
Imagine a political campaign aimed at intelligent people?

It appears that a liberal has vandalized the Vietnam memorial in Virginia. Reminds me of how they mistreated the vets when they came home back in the 70's.

I guess some things never change, sadly..

okay, last december 2005 I was involved in a minor car accident due to weather conditions, and I had to pay my auto insurance company a "500 deductible" to repair the damages that I made to my vehicle, so they had fixed it. This august of 2007, I recieve a letter from my insurance policy attorney stating that I am being sue by the plantiff of the vehicle that I hit. Why I'm being sued if I was cover by my insurance policy and the plantiff car, and is there anything I can do to defend myself. Because they should go after my insurance company if they didn't pay for the plantiff car.... not me.

OK, OJ clearly killed his wife and Ron Goldman. I don't think there's anyone in the country who disputes this anymore. Subsequently, OJ got off. A guilty man did not go to jail. He had good lawyers. It happens.

Now, fast forward 13 years. Just as clearly as OJ killed Ron and Nicole, OJ was set up. With startling speed, OJ was arrested, arraigned, and charged with a lot of crimes that no other defendent would have been charged with. He's also being held without bail. For going unarmed into a hotel room and trying to get his stuff back? No, this is all because OJ got off 13 years ago. The police weren't screwing him then, but they sure are now! So OJ's finally going to go to jail, maybe for life, and definitely because he murdered two people in 1994, not because he took some stuff from a hotel room. Here's my question: is it fair? Is justice being served by railroading him for a bunch of bullsht he didn't do to make up for something he really did do? Is that our system?

"The Iranian regime under President Ahmadinejad has spoken openly about wiping Israel off the map, has fueled Hezbollah's terror campaign in the region and around the world, and defied the world community in its pursuit of nuclear weapons," - Mitt Romney, 2007.

Here's an article about Iran threatening to launch missiles against Israel: http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1189411419433&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull

They also want to launch them against America.

And here's an article about Romeny calling to bar the Iranian president from entering the U.S.: http://www.reuters.com/article/politicsNews/idUSN1732478320070917?feedType=RSS&feedName=politicsNews&rpc=22&sp=true

Y'know what a sniper rifle is? Basically a big gun, that's used to fire with pinpoint accuracy over a massive distance :) But they're really hard to get to grips with, so they don't just let everyone play with 'em

He charged them 2300 for remodeling an old bathroom. Everything all new. They had no problem until payday and barely gave us our check. Now, four weeks later, they claim we "ruined" their bathroom walls. We charged 800 for the labor of nine days. They have called and said that they are going to sue. They've called our house five times today cussing us out. Shouldn't they wait and get their lawer to call. Can they be harrasing us like this? Their walls look just like a new bathroom and we have no idea what they are talking about. Didn't they close the deal by handing us the check. They waited four weeks to call us. How does this sound?

This may provide us with some insight, as one leftist blogger explained:

"If we are in the throes of a new kind of Cold War, perhaps it makes sense to align oneself with Washington’s new enemies. If one can reach the conclusion that the Kremlin stood for historical progress, despite its hidebound bureaucratic top layers, why not see political Islam in the same fashion? If secular and socialist forces are exhausted, why not form alliances with a powerful global movement that seems to have inexhaustible reservoirs of anti-imperialist fervor?

Some of Hezbollah’s biggest fans are in Europe. There, the hard left, demoralized by the collapse of communism, has found new energy, siding with Islamist militants in Lebanon"

Ok, so my Mom's boyfriend and I turned my Dad in for growing weed. He's been verbally abusing me for a while and I snapped. He had me down to zero.

So we turned him in. He's been growing weed since I was a baby, maybe before that. He's a good guy at heart, but he's so mean. That's not my Dad anymore.

The cops seized his brand new truck and have pics of him out at his plantation. He cried in front of me the other night. I regret turning him in. My Mom isn't stable, she skips from house to house. I didn't think of what it would be like going back there. And I love my Dad, I'm just so sorry. I forgive him for all the rotten and evil things he's done to me, my Mom, and my siblings. Believe me, he's done a lot.

But I don't want him to go to jail! No one deserves that! He was only doing that to support his family! He does have money, so if he could get a good lawyer, could he get off with no jail time? If not, what's the minimum time he would have to serve? Max?
