Say a man works in a coal mine for 12 hours a day. The man would have made enough money to retire 5 years earlier except the government imposed a healthcare tax on everyone in the country. For this reason the man had to work in a dark coal mine 5 more years of his life. He died the day after he retired. Was it moral to make this man work 5 more years for other's healthcare?

Til' this day, I still am clueless. I know one of GWB initial goals was to end the reign of Saddam Hussein, which already accomplished, but what's next? (The goal is to ensure a successful democracy flourishes in Iraq.) Is that even possible?
What are your thoughts.
**No insults please, mature answers only. Thanks!

please remember, a layman can not spend much time and can not face problems while working on this issue. as in India, lots of people just spend their most of the time to earn money/roti

While political correctness protects SOME from hurtful speech (everyone except White males, of course), it is actually harmful because sometimes PC-ness can override FREE SPEECH.

Has PC-ness done more harm than good?

I'm sorry but fair is fair . If he wants to hold liberal teachers responsible for properly teaching our students , then clearly he must hold himself responsible for delaying the signing of the 'NoLiberal Left-Behind Act' .

The Act could punish liberals for not being rational on the issues and double-talking , no , triple-talking their Iraq War views .
Punishment would be very light . We could give them what they want. . . . a tax hike , but ONLY for liberals .

NOTE -- The most insolent of the bunch could be made to salute the flag while reciting the Pledge of Allegiance .

But I agree with you libs . This president must take some action now .

What Do You Think ?

Please answer without jumping on the bandwagon. Please provide VALID reasons for disliking her. Do you think the "Hillary-haters" are informed about her policies, goals, and plans for America or do you think people dislike her because everyone else does?
I am just curious.

In the name of honor, humility, honesty, or even a woman. Should it be made legal to two consenting adults to engage in a duel to the death? (Or even just first blood, or someone asks for mercy)

For all those that believe FDR a socialist, think again. When FDR took office in '32, the price of a bushel of wheat cost less than a pack of gum, 1/2 of real property was foreclosed and sold IN ONE DAY in Arkansas, an estimated 32% of home owners faced forclosure, there was a MAJOR run on the biggest banks across America threatening the solvency of 28-30% of cash assets in America, 1 % of farms below the Mason Dixon line had no electricity, nearly 35% of American were out of work, and on, and on, and on.

Surprisingly, FDR in fact was not an idealogue, he took swift and sweeping actions to prevent America from going down the economic tubes, as a result of 3 previous years of total inaction and denial by the previous administration that occupied the White House.

It's really a disgusting exploitation of people's faith. Separation of Church and State protects government from religion and religion from government. One need only look back to when Constantine, the Roman emperor co-opted Christianity and made it the national religion of Rome. He did so not because he believed in Jesus and his teachings, but because he wanted to remain in power. Those who don't remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

I recently gained 'custody' of my 15 year old brother. My grandmother who resides in Baton Rouge, La orginally had legal custody, but when he came to live with me in Arkansas, I was given an 'Order' placing him in my custody. Do I really have custody of him, or does my grandmother? By the way, she never signed any papers in regards to custody being given to me. However, she did write a handwritten letter saying she was no longer able to take care of him.

I say Clinton's because both will be back! As this campaign continues Hillary is going to haft to answer the tough questions about her past along with Bill's.
You know that it is going to become a slug fest between the Clinton's and the Dems. in the primary and the Repubs. in the general election. All politicians have skeletons in their closets, but I bet closet space is the first thing the Clinton's look for in a new home! The part of the media that supports the Repubs. will see that it is all brought out in the spotlight at the right time.
Whitewater, Travelgate, Filegate, Troopergate, the "boys on the track" case, ect. and last, but not least her past voting record.
One of them has been convicted of perjury and the other was caught at it and not changed.
All of this information and more is going to be used to try to keep her out of office.
It will be interesting to see how Hillary is going to handle the heat. "I can't comment on that" is not going to get her into office!

My mother has just passed away. I am the executer of her will. My mother has lived with me for quite some time, however my mother had a life estate at a property that my sister owned. That is were all her belongings are. Now my sister; the one who has the remainder interest in the property will not let me gather and collect moms stuff. Mom just passed away and she won't even let us in to get clothing for her. She is saying that moms life estate died with her and that she is the sole owner. She has also told me not to return to the property that she will have all of my mothers belonging put in storage and once I file the will for probate then and only would she allow me take the belongings. I know she now owns the property but can she take possession of the property that fast without letting us remove the contents. I thought as executor that I was able to gather my mothers belonging even though property has passed to her. She has already changed the locks and put no trespassing signs up

Movie stars and musicians make enough money as it is, and they dont use there profits enough to help better the country. I know some do but not enough. I dont think it should be illegal to download free music and watch movies online. Maybe there could be a five year rule, where for five years after a release there could be those laws but after that it just seems stupid...I dont know, its all a loead of bullsh*t if you ask me.

Now That Hillary Admits That Troops Will Be In Iraq At Least Until 2013. .. . Even If She Becomes President. . .. . . Then Doncha Think She Should Make A Clear-Cut Apology To Our Standing 4-Star General Petraeus ?

No playin dodge-ball on this one . Hillary even said that she couldn't promise any troop withdrawal immediately after entering office either .

I just got a housing voucher, been waiting like 5 years, and the rules are that we must sign a new one year lease where ever we move to. The thing is that I still have 5 months on my lease left where I'm living.

I just had my third baby boy two days ago, and our apartment is far too small for all of us. How do I get out of this lease so that we can move into a larger nicer place, without having to sign a whole new lease here.

These apartments have no yard to play in and no three bedroom units at all. I look forward to now moving into a larger place possibly a house.

One child missing is too many.
My heart goes out to any parent that would go through that kind of living h3ll.
But why are all the missing children we see being searched for with help of the media almost if never an African American or Hispanic child.
As unfortunate as it is, there has to be minority children missing too.

Is there something like OSHA in which you can report your apartment complex for being non-compliant with desperately needed repairs? My aunt's apartment is flooded. Like barely livable flooded. She is literally walking around on plastic to avoid stepping in water. All of her furniture is damaged and no one wants to help her.
