Politics & Government - 29 September 2007

There are NUMEROUS cases of children being raped, molested, murdered. I'm SICK to my stomach over this. I'm sick of hearing about another child being raped or killed. If you do a local search of sex offenders in your area you will find you are surrounded by many, regardless whether you're in a large or small city. I personally feel there is a mental illness epidemic going on to cause so much sick violence in this world we live in, I know deep in my heart if peoples minds were healthy there would not be all this sick crap going on. But what should we do?? How can we stop this. Why are our children surrounded by sick, evil perverts everywhere? And why in the HELL are these sickos being allowed out of jail so easily?? WHAT do you think is a good solution to all of this?? Why isn't the president making THIS a priority????

Is Bush cocky because;

Since 9/11, he has prevented another major terror attack on USA soil.

He has restored Honor & Dignity to the White House.

He is a former fighter pilot

He has a Harvard MBA

The Bush economy has a ver very low 4.6% unemployment rate.

He has liberated 50 Million muslims from tyranny.

Or is it the whole Texas Swagger thing

What is it?

it is meant to say that this crime never would have happened if this person was not searched out because he or she is different. It is to lay a higher penalty on a crime that the person may have gotten off easier on, which would have allowed them to continue their crime spree against a certain group of people.

Pro-life organizations are trying to build support for the legal definition that an unborn child is a person to exploit a weakness that was cited by author Harry Blackmun when he wrote the creative Roe V. Wade abortion precedent in 1973.

It was the Roe author, Blackmun, who concluded: "(If the) suggestion of personhood [of the preborn] is established, the [abortion rights] case, of course, collapses, for the fetus' right to life is then guaranteed specifically by the [14th] Amendment."

Let me define this more clearly -- what does their training in law school direct the motives of an criminal -- how do they get inside the criminals mind, without becoming like a criminal??

First of all, Pedro the Guatamalen from Stuart Florida didnt pay taxes for 11 years....Now ICE has raided McDonalds in the Reno area for Identity theft...they got 56 people in that raid...Difference between those in Reno and Pedro is that those in Reno used forged documents...so here's the question...If they were using forged documents, were they really paying taxes? In my opinion, they werent...in fact they were breaking IRS laws as well as being here illegally. working illegally, as well as breaking laws in regards to identity theft...These are not scattered cases people...this is rampant, and the true victims of this are the american taxpayers...

OK, what would you do?

I ordered a monitor from one of the very large electronics firms. It arrived, and sat around my place for a month unopened. I finally opened it, and to my surprise I found the invoice for the monitor, but the enclosed item was a new laptop worth four times as much. I checked my CC company and the merchant. The charge is for the lower priced monitor; no record of the laptop anywhere. Would you return the item as a sign of good faith and indicate the error, or keep the higher priced item, and say 'serves them right. Now I have to go order another monitor.' Besides no one will ever find out. Perhaps another consumer ended up with the reverse situation. But I'm figuring they already reported it and got THEIR money back.

Footnote: Would your finances (i.e., you make $25,000 a year versus $150,000 a year) make a difference in your decision?

This is a question my daughter asked. She doesn't like Mr. Bush, nor do I. I have my own theories, but I thought that in the spirit of fairness, those who DO support our President should answer the question.

So please give me your reasons and if you could, do so without anger or bitterness. A 12 year old will be reading your answers.

Thanks!

It was the mayor that didn't order an evacuation and turned away the Red Cross. It was the Governor that didn't ask for federal assistance. Is Bush to blame because he didn't know more than the media that was reporting 'how light storm damage was'? or was Bush supposed to circumvent the Constitution by sending troops into a sovereign state without permission?

I am an Independent. I will not give my loyalty to either incompetent party. But based on my experience with the responders at Yahoo! Answers I'm assuming most are Republican, or would describe themselves as Republican.

Why do I assume this? Of course the internet provides the anonymity racist, and immature people need to articulate all the ignorance they hold in during the day at work and dealing with the majority of sane people.

So Represent your Party.

I ask here because it is a political question and because I really think there are a number of people here who have good ideas.

I know why there's a problem but how do we correct it?

Any ideas?

Examples: 1. The man who worked hard to save $59,000. & government officials confiscated all of it for not filing a form requiring him to disclose how much he was leaving the country with. 2. A woman who didn't know that her 1st divorce papers had to be signed by the judge before she could legally be remarried & because of a 6 day overlap of 2nd marraige prior to judge signing 1st divorce, her 2nd husband legally ANNULLED their 10 yr. marraige. This 'legal loophole' left her penniless which enabled her abusive husband able to win primary custody. 3. Who helps protect your rights when you don't have the money. legal know-how and it's the 'law' itself that you've become a victim of?

Paraphrase of Plato's Republic:
"Democracy is a charming form of government, full of variety and disorder, and dispensing a sort of equality to equals and unequal alike."

Democracy is therefore a lesser form of government.
Is direct monarchy by an enlightened ruler such as Queen Elizabeth 2 then superior governance for UK?
