What have you war supporters personally sacrificed for this occupation, I mean war? Paying more to fill your gas tank doesn't count, we've all had to pay that price.

Can I get an UNBIASED answer to this question. I don't give two craps what you think about Hillary, but I want to know what exactly her stand is and what she plans to do to better our nation or just anything. I pretty much need a review of what she is all about in this presidential race.

Recently, I have discovered that many college freshman have no clue about The Constitution, The Bill of Rights, yet, these young adults are on the edge of voting. Many are uninterested in Social questions such as Welfare, Health, etc.. most have no clue as to how the Government works! I was disheartened to hear some state they didn't know about The Patriot Act, Homeland Security(oh, their parents discuss it). They say 'no' to taxes, but have no idea why. They say 'yes' to a change, but have no idea 'why'. Not one that I spoke with said the above courses were even offered in the schools---or they weren't aware of them(I took Political Science as an elective in my Jr. and Sr. High School years in the mid-70's)Please note this is a generalized question, not directed to a particular region or state.

What are your views on the idea that everyone should be automatically on an organ donor list and should have to opt out if they do not want to?

Do you think that this is unfair and that no-one should be on the list but can opt to be on the organ donor list if they wish?

Or do you think that the Health Service needs these donations to save lives and everyone should be automatically put on an organ donor list?

A very tragic accident occurred in my state a few weeks ago.A mother 'forgot' her 2 year old daughter was in the back seat of her vehicle,closed the windows,locked the doors,and went to work for 8 hours.it was a very hot day and the child died.
The police have not filed any charges against the mother,saying it was purely an accident.The mother says she's a busy mom of 2 and thought her husband had dropped the 2 year old off at daycare.
Well,I am a mom of 4 and find this so tragic,and appalling.In my opinion,she should be charged with AT THE VERY LEAST child neglect.
How does one 'forget' a 2 year old daughter?!

We had a health screening day approaching in which blood pressure taking and having employee's weighed were the main focus.

My co-worker busts out with, "I hope the Cardio vascular Medical Staff stops at the truck stop to get scales before they come here because the standard 300 pound scale won't work for 75% of the people checked".

People's jaws dropped and no one knew what to say!

Are there any legal consequences here?

Limbaugh was actually talking about the story of Jesse MacBeth, a fake "soldier" who never made it out of boot camp, yet was utilized by the anti- war left as a "veteran" who agreed with Iraq opponents.

BTW - If you are in the Military you can hear Rush on Armed Forces Radio Network broadcast 5 days a week. There are no liberal talk shows on this network.

They have no time to answer any questions from those in a minority position in America .

Good for them till the minority assimilates into the community and asks its questions in a forum of all races we should applaud the republicans for taking a stand and not supporting separate but equal .

-A martyr was removed for killing hundreds of thousands of his own people through brutal and inhumane ways
-The American military and allies are killing more Al Qaeda along with insurgents over there.
-The military liberated a country of oppressed people.
-Iraq has a (infantile) democracy in place.

So...what's the problem?

Are you mad because you think this war is 'illegal?' It's not.
Are you mad because military men/women are dying fighting for your freedom as well as mine and the protection of future generations? (Side note -- the military men/women voluntarily sign up for this lifestyle)

So what's your problem with the war/occupation in Iraq?

I would like to hear suggestions on how to make health insurance more affordable for those who can't or have a hard time affording it. I'm not talking about those who are below the bracket where Medicare kicks in, but people like me who are middle class and keep seeing larger and larger chunks of our paychecks going to healthcare, who keep paying larger co-pays at the doctor, who get stuck in a job because if they leave they will lose their healthcare coverage...

My employer where I was injured a year and a half ago, is NOT obligated to hire me back, find me a position, or even pay me at the same rate I was receiving at the time of injury. Either my lawyer sucks, or everyone else I have been speaking to is wrong. If my lawyer is wrong, how do I find this out? Sadly, It seems to me that Workers Comp does not do much to protect the injured. I have to reapply at my former employer, submit a resume, go through the interview process and try to get hired all over again and possibly have to start at the beginning all over again with money per hour.
