the reps and dems both accuse the other of being closed minded, but isnt it closed minded of a nation to have only 2 parties? thats a bit rigid, i mean what if you are ok with gay rights and abortion rights, but youre against raising taxes? sure, there are the libertarians, but theyre not viable. or, dare i say it, what if youre a christian socialist, like Angela Merkel of germany? or what if you have other independent ideas? the american people really arent being represented i think. both the reps and the dems should be broken up into smaller, more specific parties, so that more people can be represented. sure, not every individual can be represented, but this way would make it better.

Well of course there is definitely more opportunity to express ourselves (and freely too) today than before. With this pro-democracy ideology spreading like wild fire everywhere. I guess the Internet is a huge factor, because it's difficult to monitor everything and also the convenience and anonymity enjoyed. This yahoo answers thing is one great example of how we all can express our opinions in so many different topics. But is it really 'free' speech? One person exercising his right to free speech may (and usually does) infringe on someone else's opinion/culture/beliefs etc. So how 'free' are we really?

Okay I have never had sex or for that matter even kissed a girl (or a guy since I'm not gay). Besides sexual relations, transfusions, breast feeding & all that is it possible 2 get HIV from sitting on a toilet or any other STDS? I'm pretty much a hypochondriac so i have another question. I was playing basketball earlier so I was playing with a ball that many people were touching, so I probably had a lot of germs on my hands & what not. I also shook hands with people afterward. I came home & I had 2 take a **** really bad, but I was also very constipated so when i am constipated I take a piece of toilet paper & stick it up my *** like a makeshift laxative. As disgusting as this sounds my finger may have slipped out of this shield & made skin to skin contact with my asshole. Could the germs (possibly the HIV virus) from the basketball game that were on my hands & from touching door handles be transmitted inside my *** when my finger touched it by accident? Basically can I get HIV or STDS

Lets try to be serious if we have the capacity this morning.
If in the event that we end up with Clinton's proposed heath care system AKA The National Health Care System ot Universal Healthcare System.
1) Do you honestly believe, that if you get sick, you will simply run down to the doctor's office and be seen any quicker?
2) Do you honestly believe, that the chances of being denied health care are less likely than now under this proposterous program?
3) Do you honestly believe that the Middle Class Americans are the ones who will benifit from this system?
The middle class is in big trouble folks, if this system ever goes into place. It will be us in the middle class that pay for everything. Most of us have worked hard to get where we are and aren't prepared to give it up. Our taxes are going to be an outrage if this was ever to go into effect.
Sorry my typing sucks this morning.

The talk around the U.S. is that Hillary is a respected world figure and just being elected would strengthen and heal most of our image in the world particularly Europe. Seeing as much of economics in the world today has to do with international perception of stability i am asking members of the international community to answer this question
"If Hillary is President next year how will you see your American cousins."

why do people think they need a government to tell them how to run their buisness, control taxes and where the money is spent. Decide whether our school system is working or not etc. Most of the people i know and talk to, are hard working small buisness owners that can hardly afford to hirer workers to help them so they end up doing 80% of the work themselves. Is that the true american dream? working 80+ hours a week simply because small buisness owners cant afford all the things they have to do to hire outside peoples to help out? Thus effects the job output and effects the unemployment rate. While the state is saying Walmart is ok to bring into your neighborhood but.we will tax small buisness.possibly put them out of business so they can work at walmart, further making the state and large corps richer.Im not anti capitlism.I just think the state shouldnt have control as to how we run our businesses The state seems to be fascist who suppresses our freedomsof living the american dream

Obviously a leader has to be intelligent, but sometimes some leaders are too 'intelligent' for their own good and it turns into cunning exploitation. Being shrewd is one thing, and being manipulative is another. That's when integrity comes into play. However if the leader is cunning in the sense that he somehow exploits others for the benefit of his own group, is this still wrong? Should a leader's integrity only apply to the people he leads?
(A leader can be a politician or a religious leader. Just leaders in general)

I have been curious to this for some time - considering that Hillary Clinton is garnering so much press, positive and negative.
If, say, Eleanor Roosevelt or Jacqueline Kennedy or Barbara Bush had decided to run for President in their times (OK, you can pretend this happened after their hubbies had ceased to be President), what would the reaction have been like? The same as Hillary is getting now? Come to think of it, would they even have been allowed to run back then...
I welcome all your thoughts and opinions on this. :)
