...in the U.S. This is addressed mostly to my fellow conservatives.

Typicaly "liberal" cities are known by names such as Seattle, Portland (OR), Los Angeles, Santa Cruz, San Francisco, Palo Alto, Berkeley, Chicago, Madison, Austin, Detroit, Washington, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Cambridge...I think you get the idea.

The only ones of the listed cities I'd choose are:
A. New York: the thriving heart of the western world. Any cultural offering in the way of arts, cuisine, and festivities you can find in NYC. It also has a (mostly) efficient and expansive subway system.
B. Austin: "Keep Austin Weird!" It's a very original city with beautiful parkland, even prettier women, a proud population, and it's very clean.
C. Seattle: it has its own architecture, vibe, and the beauty of Mount Rainier both offsets and complements the beauty of the manmade skyline. It's like LA, except it's more drizzly, less crime-ridden and dumpy, and has more natural beauty.

I was wondering, why the government doesnt just make it that Reservists who have to take huge pay cuts, when they come to active duties just make it that they will be paid no less then what they made in civilian duty. It would be fair, and you would get alot less hardship. I think the military can afford it, you have a quarter trillion dollar budget.

I was wondering in Iraq and in warefare in general are Iraqi civilians more expendable then Americans? When it really comes down to it, if there were a high value target,and it was required to bomb the area, bt the result would be hundreads of civilian deaths, would Americans be more willing to bomb if there are Iraqi civilians or American civilians?

Or are they possibly polling people based on previous polls or some other way in which the poll takers will get an outcome that they want?

They could never secure the borders of the country they were fighting in so enemy supplies/troops pored in?

With Iraq it's Iran & Syria. With Vietnam it was Laos & Cambodia. How can you win a war win when the enemy never runs out of supplies/troops?

Observing that country's strategic position and coasts, there wasn't , in any time of her history, a danger of the seaborne invasion. She is by nature a pure land force and if she only redirects her money from navy into land forces that could have some effect on the eternal problem of modernising her forces.

Through history she was a multi religious and national empire and as always is the case with those states, stability and peace are no.1 agenda. They need grand state and/or religious aparatus to control their subjects and that always hinders innovative spirit and tehnological progress. Look at UK, USA , Germany. They are a innovative countries that haven't experienced the problems of Russia. Protestant countries are the cradle of capitalism and western technology after all.

Just wondering, not advocating any war of any sort.

Why do Conservatives keep joining forces with the minority liberal population to bring in Democratic governments?

"LIBERAL AMERICA?....James Joyner reports today on a new Gallup poll showing that the number of Americans who self-identify as conservative is twice the number who self-identify as liberal"

http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2007_03/010893.php

"A key finding: when people are asked to describe themselves in terms of ideology, self-identified conservatives outnumber self-identified liberals by a margin of nearly two to one."

First I have to say, because I feel so vilainized by this, I did not, would not, will not, ever in my life, physically abuse a woman. I find the act of abusing a woman, or even violence (unless in self defense) appalling and inexcusable, which is why I am devastated by this claim.

Long story short, my ex filed a frivolous domestic violence claim against me. She wanted an injunction against me in place for a year going into the hearing and when I showed up with witnesses she immediately decided to dismiss it.

No charges or police involvment, no arrest, no evidence, just her claim in which she doesn't even state any violence, because there was none. Now this hearing for domestic violence is on my public records. I'm devestated by this, my character is very important to me and I have no criminal record whatsoever. I can prove she lied and seriously exagerated, etc. And show a motive for her actions. I'm now suing to prove my side. If I win, can this be removed from my records?

Evidence from other countries indicates that government-supported health care leads to a healthier population, yet the US continues to spend more than twice as much per capita on health care than comparable countries while having a population that’s less healthy than Europe or Canada.

Over 50% of US bankruptcies are related to unpaid medical bills.

As an Australian I have sometimes been guilty of taking easy potshots at Americas faults over the years, and I notice that a lot of Americans themselves seem discouraged with some of the current trends. Our Prime Minister, a very persistant little fellow who usually does what he thinks is right, apparently rebuked the Canadian Parliament in a speech to them for this same 'easy potshot' attitude to the USA. His point was - thank God it is the USA that is the dominant power in the world. Seeing the forest instead of the trees, the world would have collapsed into chaos at the end of WW2, but instead you put Europe back on its feet. Even so, the third world struggled on the brink of disaster and you have been the main reason why they are now in many cases, coming to prosperity. All this came from the basic goodness of your hearts & it finds recognition in hearts all around the world. Please dont thank me for saying this as it is only the truth that we all should recognise.

Israel has been fighting a war on terror for over 40 years & counting (and they didn't even start calling it a war on terror until 9/11 happened). And they are the world's experts at fighting terrorists. So if Israel can't even "win" a war on terror how is the US going to win it, other than eliminating every Muslim on the planet?

I'm the manager of my store I'm new at this and I have a slight issue. One of my employees I beleive is trying to take my place as the manager shes slowly trying to get my assistant manager fired and move her way up in a vicious manner. Shes a drama queen and likes to start problems because she has nothing better to do. None of my employees like her shes annoying and pretty rude. The owner likes her slightly but shes not really that great of an employee but shes alright she twists things in her benefit with them thats why they like her. I don't want to just fire her right off the bat because I think that might raise some questions with the owners. shes quite manipulative and will do anything in her power to get what she wants. How do I break it to the owner that she needs to leave?

She claimed that she had been asked the same question three times. Lets give her the benifit of the doubt and say that he WAS a plant.

Then why cant she answer the mans question?

Youd think after being asked three times, she had enough time to formulate some transparent answer.

No mudslinging.
Ex: George Bush is a stupid monkey. The war is bad, (there are possitive eliments to the war)
Ex: Clinton is a fat loser. (the might be some possitive elements.)

Here is a good answer. (which is true)

Ex:I'll start it off. Voting records show that the more wealthy vote right wing. The more wealthy obvously had to be smart to get wealthy, so the Republicans are smarter.

If you can give a political candidate that is doing something that will better the U.S. the would be good also.

Hasn't Capitalism sometimes created more problems than solutions in fair business practices??

I mean take technology for example. The first company to develop a new gadget determines the price of that gadget based on what? What they think people will pay for it? Eventually there is competition to lower the original price but sometimes even then it's still ridiculously expensive.

When was the last time a CEO took a pay cut during down time? Versus the people laboring who either get cut or get a dime raise at the beginning of the calendar year?

It's out of balance IMO.

Why does she lead all the polls? Personally, I don't think you can believe anything she says. I doubt seriously she is really very liberal, given her background and voting record. I believe she will be the most hawkish on the war out of the democrats. She strikes me as an opportunist - like her husband, but worse, and without the charisma. Plus, this would be a continuation of a dynasty - even though she says it's not. I guarantee that with her, we'll go to war with Iran if Bush doesn't first, and she'll never get the troops out of Iraq.

Personally, I like Barack Obama or Bill Richardson - people that worked their way up, and represent a true change. Edwards is OK, but lawyers like him I don't trust either. Biden and Dodd are too much career politicians, especially Biden - he's too slick. Kucinich I think means well, but he makes a fool of himself.

So what's so great about her?
