It's a given that it can't be done now for obvious reasons, but I must say, Iran has a point. Who are we to say get rid of your Nuclear bomb program with our 10,000 (or more?) Nuc's ****** and loaded to fire at the drop of a hat.

Just left and right every other answer is "liberals are communist"

or "your a communist"

or questions accuseing who knows who of being a communist

ok, history lesson folks,

in the 1950s there were communist spys in the US government so it made sense to investigate, some spies were caught that was good

but in 2007 there aren't any soviet communist spies on yahoo answers

I work for a small company that is having a staff meeting that should last about 30 miniutes. I've been told that I should be paid for minimally two hours by law. Is that true? And if so, where can I find the law that supports that statement?

You know how us youngin's are not going to get social security? Then wtf, should we still get taxes taken out or our checks? I'm sick of helping welfare and drug addicts and baby boomers. It truly isn't fair. Why doesn't someone go against this or petition against it? Who's with me?

Hillary was asked a tough question by a voter , of which she didn't want to answer . So in her typical elitist style , she employed her favorite misdirectional comment by saying that the asker must be a 'plant' . Surely no commoner is smart enough to think for themselves and ask real questions .

Now I direct you to the Y/A boards . Just how many times have we conservatives be called 'PLANTS OR PAID SHILLS' ?
The number is exponentionally high so feel free to answer with words like - 'a kazillion'. . . 'loads and loads'. . . 'enough to fill the Grand Canyon'. . . or 'so many times it's galactically impossible to count' .

I really don't think Hillary has Y/A accounts , but doesn't this ring a bell ?
Why is it that the left just doesn't think it's even possible for others to have differing views without being 'PLANTS or PAID SHILLS' ?. . . . .It reeks of ELITISM and will be one of the factors for a Democratic loss in 2008 .

They made a big effort to take away individual rights and liberties with the Patriot Act (do many Americans actually know what that thing is about? Apparently most of the politicians who voted for it didn't), so with so much gun crime how come they never do anything sensible, like take away people's right to bear firearms? I may be missing something here, help me out people.

We have been going strong for almost four years now, and have two beautiful children together. The chidren are young, two year old and seven month old. We live away from most family, only his Father is close. I truly believe he was made for this path in life, going and getting Military training would complete his character. I, however selfish this may sound, was not. I feel that the Military life will put a great burden on us as a whole. The lengthy time away will definitely be hard. Not because my temptations will be so great to cheat, but because I will feel like a Single Parent with responsibilities very high and overwhelming. Of course I can adjust and strive to make it work, but it will be the greatest loss if something were to happen to him. I have lost my Mother, a wonderful soul.... I could not picture this world without him in it. Please give light. The Marine Recruiter will be here in a matter of days to see what we have decided to do.

We all know about the illegal immigrant situation in America, and how the president and all his people are sitting back with their feet propped up inviting all the illegals to waltz right on into this country with no regard of the affect it is having on working American citizens. What are some ideas of what we as an American people can do to show the government that we're not going to sit back and let it continue to happen? Or do you think there is nothing we can do about it ?

but didn't even served due to a supposely bad back I hear.

Oct. 8 (Bloomberg) -- Mexican President Felipe Calderon said the illegal immigration of Mexicans to the U.S. can't be stopped because of the strong demand for inexpensive labor there.

``It's impossible to stop that by decree. It's impossible to try to stop that with a fence,'' Calderon said today in a taped interview with ABC News' ``Good Morning America.''

A lack of job prospects prompts more than 400,000 Mexicans to enter the U.S. each year seeking work both legally and illegally, according to the Pew Hispanic Center in Washington.

The U.S. Senate this month voted to spend $3 billion for more fences, patrol agents and surveillance along the U.S.- Mexico border. Calderon said he's seeking to improve economic conditions in Mexico so that citizens don't have to leave the country for work. In the future, I can't imagine a Mexico without enough economic growth to provide for them,'' Calderon said during the ABC interview. ``I want to build the conditions in Mexico to provide the opportunities here.'' http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=aXesybqZcKsU&refer=us

I feel really bad for the familys, my deepest sympathy goes out them.

But back to the question,
How is it that this guys was a deputy sherriff at the age of 20? Don't they have to go to training and or school for years? and do psychological analysis?
I mean this guy only had his drivers license for a few years? Just started dating? Isn't even old enough to drink?

I think that type of JOB and responsibility should only be given to people that are a little more mature and trained, this is a perfect example..

Does anyone else know how this individual slipped through the cracks?.. Is this normal to promote law enforcement people into this massive responsibility at such a young age??

To me it seems like a horrible idea.

anyone else?

In a new ABC "National" Poll 1/3 of Americans don't mind that Spanish is spoken in the US.

My question, who are they polling? Shouldn't they poll people who are at the center of the issue? People in Texas, California, and Arizona? These three State deal with the Illegal immigration problem the most. Last time I checked these States held 70% of the Illegal immigrant population. So why do we care or why should we care what someone in Iowa or New York thinks?

My concern is that people will get the wrong impression from this poll. The impression that people don't care. Since people typically have a herd mentality then they will become ok with this.

Keep in mind Illegals tax our medical system, school system, and lower the average wage for the poor.
