15 of the 19 hijackers on September 11th where from Saudi Arabia, the others were from Egypt and Kuwait. What are we doing to curb the threat that Islamic radicals from these countries represent?

How do you think our presence in Iraq will help?

They have the second largest oil reserve in the world! and decades from now when there crude oil manufacturing capability is efficient, crude oil will cost less, and gasoline will cost less.

So a decade from now would you rather have gas prices at 20 dollars a gallon or 6-10 dollars a gallon (considering inflation)

Long term, I fail to see how lowered gas prices in the future and freedom afforded to the Iraqis are a bad thing.

your thoughts?

Is that because Blacks and Jews afraid of one?
Is that because ACLU will have a good opponent?
How come the Majority in this country is unprotected against fraud,racism and discrimination.
Please, don't give me a damn thing about "Whites don't need any protection because they are majority" or "Whites have a lot of power".

i understand that most have the basic God....but with some the rules and translation differ from across th vast land. but wouldn't it be naive to think that "your"" religion is the correct one just because that is what you were raised to believe.

Thanks in advance for your help

Jurisdiction. Marya Callais, a citizen of Florida, was walking near a busy street in Tallahassee one day when a large cart flew of a passing truck and hit her, resulting in numerous injures to Callais. She incurred a great deal of pain and suffering plus numerous medical expenses, and she could not work for 6 months. She wishes to sue the trucking firm for $300,000 in damages. The firm's headquartes are in Georgia, although the company does business in florida. In what court may Callais bring suit-a Florida state court, a Georgia state court, or Federal court? What factors might influence her decision?

The right very effectively smeared Kerry by discounting his Purple Hearts.

When left wingers try the same it usually backfires.

I'm moderate - conservative on some issues, liberal on some, but I was wondering how liberals on Y!A felt about political correctness. We already know how many prominent liberal speakers with loud voices in front of the camera feel, but how do regular everyday liberals feel?

I came across a story (yes it's on the dreaded conservative Fox News, sorry!), http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,191098,00.html

It talks about a set of rules made in 2006 toward Australian cartoon book illustrators that brings them quote: "face-to-face with American standards of political correctness."

It goes on saying cows shouldn't be shown with udders (huh?), asians can't have "asian-looking eyes" (actual quote), africans can't have big lips, don't show intellectual asians, show africans and women in power, elderly people can't be cripple,etc... list goes on.

Illustrator Roland Harvey replied that it was irrational. Do liberals, in general, think this is rubbish or that it helps society? I'm just curious.

Say, if public healthcare costs $8,000 per person per year (and that's cheap), would you be willing to have $8,000 divided by 12 months = $666.66 deducted from your monthly income?

Remember, nothing is free. All Hillary is promising is to force you to pay for something government will control and ration. And for those of you who get your healthcare through your private jobs, do NOT think for an instance that when government forces you to pay for your own, that your employer will give you the money they are currently spending on your healthcare; this will NOT trickle down.

(And that number has lots of 6's in it, not just because of the math, but because of the nature of the individuals trying to force this upon us.)

I don't really understand what this means.

amendments to the Constitution could be proposed in either of two ways-- by a new constitutional convention REQUESTED BY 2/3 OF THE STATES or by a TWO-THIRDS vote of both houses of Congress.

Could someone explain the bold? thanks, i appreciate it!
