Considering the flurry of scandals over the past few years? I am not even syaing that Dems have not had scandals too, but we don't pretend like we are in some way morally superior. It just looks ridiculous when you have had scandal after scandal and continue to say that you are morally superior to Democrats.

I mean is such a thing possible? Wouldn't this be beneficial for all 3 countries? I'm talking financially to have the same monetary system throughout the 3 countries. Would this work, why or why not?

I bet liberal cities in the U.S. are on Iran's list of U.S. cities to smuggle nukes into.

1) Iran hates godless people the most.
2) Iran hates people that support gay marriages. Iran thinks allowing gay marriage is the same as allowing people and animals to marry.
3) Iran hates people that have out of wedlock childbirths.
4) Iran hates people that want to legalize drugs or who use drugs.
5) Iran hates people that abort babies.

etc, etc, etc,,

Ahmadinejad is anti-gays and Jews - that's more like the Republican Party than Democrats. He wants to control Iraq - again, more like Republicans. I can't think of a single reason how he's at all similar to liberals.

I'm not saying Ahmadinejad is like American Republicans/conservatives. The man is a complete psychopath. I just don't understand why conservatives liken him to liberals. Why is that?

Weren't Communists worse than Fascists? Sure, Hitler killed 6 million Jews, but Communists have killed billions. Why is it that Fascism (National Socialism) is seen as the worst ideology instead of Communism (International Socialism)? Isn't Communism the far worse of the 2 versions of Socialism?

Clearly, we can’t agree on the solutions to any problems, but can we even agree on what the problems are?

What, do you think, are the problems facing the US?

And, if you wouldn’t mind, are you Dem, Rep, Misc?

Please make an attempt at reading before answering (you have 3 days to answer you know). For those of you who have picked up on my various moods here at YA - I am looking for deep thoughts on this one if you please.


Moral Idiocy – Defined as having ones sense of morality lowered due to cultural influence. They are ignorant to what is considered immoral.
(But this is of course compared to what, that which is defined as the norm for the current culture?)

Moral Pessimism – Defined as believing everyone else is doing it so, why does it matter?

Empirical studies often find a general tendency to over-estimate how much other people violate social norms – a bias toward moral pessimism. We show that persistence of this bias causes more people to violate the norm than if the bias were corrected. In addition, this bias increases the probability that behavior will settle into a "bad" equilibrium with many wrongdoers, instead of settling into a “good” one with few wrongdoers.....

- "accusing it of imposing "a 19-year reign of fear"?
how about your killing fields?

- "Americans are outraged by the situation in Burma,"?
so now you want to do something? they have been outraged about Iraq too, did you respond to their concerns?

- "Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, a bitter foe of the United States"?
he is not a bitter foe of anyone. he said he wanted to use nukilar energy for civil use, he has the right to do so. And if he wants nukilar weapons, he should too so that to defend himself from invaders, the destroyers of civilization.

- "Bush urged other nations to support countries that are struggling for democracy."?

US a democracy? not even close. people have the right to choose between clinton and giuliani but they do not have the choice of putting them out there in the first place. they are promoted and brought to the scene by the masonic order.

I live in CA. We voted yes overwhelmingly over 10 years ago.
The Feds make it nearly impossible for cities to allow new dispensaries, because the existing ones are being shut down.
Knowing someone with HIV, I know for a fact the healing properties of marijuana. Shouldn't the Feds be doing something more constructive like say...Securing our borders?
Thoughtful comments only, Thanks!

I can't believe all the uproar over one ad in one newspaper by MoveOn. The Senate actually wasted their session time passing a condemnation of it. It's an ad. It doesn't really impact the weflare of this country or it's citizens in any way.

Meanwhile, Gas is $3 a gallon; The American dollar no has so little value it's equal to Canada's currency for the first time in 30 years; We're still losing over 50 troops a month in Iraq and now disease is becoming an issue among the populace there; The housing credit crunch continues; The gulf coast remains fractured; Etc; Etc; Etc.

Am I the only one who feels like we've completely taken our eyes off the ball here-?!?

wow, could anything be more hypocritical than Bush attacking another country for human rights abuses? Has he forgotten that he runs torture camps, or is he simply too coked up to remember?
