I have heard some conservatives complain that Hollywood stars have too much influence on impressionable members of the public. That may be true in some cases, but who's responsible for one's political beliefs? Conservatives often like to preach about personal responsibility, yet when they complain about the influence celebrities have, they're actually absolving some members of the public of the responsibility of thinking for themselves.

I want to know what you spent your last child support payment on? Was it for the child? Or was it for your car payment? Or was it for your rent?
Or was it spent on some new things for yourself ? Or got ur nails and hair done??

I REALLY WANT TO KNOW BECAUSE I GET VERY MAD WHEN I SEE MOTHERS SPENDING THIS MONEY ON THEMSELVES RATHER THAN FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE CHILD!
ALSO I REALLY THINK WOMEN WHO GET CHILD SUPPORT NEED TO SHOW WHAT EXACTLY THEY USE THIS MONEY FOR TO SHOW TO THE COURT SYSTEMS!

I have seen Hillary Clinton talk, and I came to the conclusion that she is just like Bush. And I bet that she and Bush are linked somehow. Just like Kerry and Bush did.

Democrats biggest mistake will be to position Hillary as president, no because she is a woman, I am not against that, but because she is kind of liar. I would prefer Edwards or Obama.

Hillary in voted in favor of keeping the troops in Iraq, then she voted in favor of taking them out. Now you may see that she support the fact that Bush want the troops to stay in Iraq. She has changed her point of view 3 or more times, how bad could she be as president?

have your say!

After all, movie stars aren't policy makers until they're elected to public office. If someone finds a celebrity's political views especially objectionable, all he/she has to do is boycott that celebrity's films. It's that simple!

Mitt Romney has the the right stuff to get things done.

He is not part of the gang in Washington DC

He is an special righteous man, with great wisdom and talents

Ducks weren't doing anything. Two officers came out for a smoke break and peppered the ducks for the heck of it. Two women saw them do it and reported them. The women said the officers were laughing afterwards. Cruelty to animals ? You bet.

I'm just interested in opinions here, not judging or anything.

I posed this question last week, but want to get a feel for how others might feel in a different section.
I live in N Dallas, Texas in a predominately hispanic neighborhood.
My son's elementary school is a public school.

His open house(hes in 2nd grade) was held last Thursday evening. You were required to meet in the gym, where the principle delivered a speech about various items regarding safety of the drop off area (many many people violate the rules in the drop off area by parking, etc) then they showed a short film about truancy.
Now ALL of this was spoken in Spanish. Only.
As we entered my 13 yr old daughter and son (we're all fair haired and skinned) a teacher handed us a translator device.

but I didn't see any others in the audience, and none of the other english speaking parents had one.
So many people literally sat there for 15 - 30 min with absolutely no idea what was being said.

Do you think thats right? Am I making a big deal out of nothing?

You spend millions of dollars investigating and prosecuting someone for killing a dog, things that people in other countries eat, but your justcie department would not look into threatened violence and racism against children not just in louisiana but all around your country.

please explain.

I am trying to understand.
