I have never been really into politics and would like to know the difference between the two major parties in Australia, to help me decide who to vote for in the coming elections.

Can some explain the difference between the two parties from a philosophy, approach and policy perspective?

"Today over 100,000 United States troops invaded France, killing over 30 French civilians and creating what some would call an environmental disaster off the coast of Normandy, in an effort to engage German forces who the Roosevelt Administration admits had nothing to do with the attacks on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The United States suffered an estimated 29,000 casualties during the attack with over 106,000 wounded. More casualties are expected due to Washington's unwillingness to negotiate with Adolf Hitler, while French officials denounced the US led attack, insisting that they were close to a compromise with German occupying forces." -Dan Rather, CBS

t not matter? I mean, if Turkey doesn't allow us to use our bases, then why stop there but continue to pull out our troops??

See a lot of misogyny directed at women who are not staunch right wing conformists, namely Hilary Clinton.

Could be a bunch of internet junk from shut-ins who use the computer to stay amused, for all I know.

Are Americans really that stuck in the fifties or just the pure conservatives, who still cant talk to women and minorities without sounding out of touch,or obviously condescending.

"(Wo)Men" I can see, but "lesbians"???? I mean come on.

I think they're entering it into the dictionary as a single word now.

Is it just me, or is this exactly the kind of complaint that warms your heart and sets you giggling at the right wing-feathers ruffling like this?

The tempo of M.o.L.T seems to have replaced other sentiment in the national ditto-dome and I can feel it coming to a creshcendo, a low fever-pitch.

Isn't this getting fun?

It's like debating someone and suddenly their retort is "your shoes aren't shiny enough", "you left your car lights on". Is it me, or are you hearing a softened slow switch into an "I like liberals really" complaint - to - complement thing underway here?

They took my panties as evidence since I didn't report it until a couple days later. That's a long story...let me get to the point!! This man is still working in this hospital...they took DNA samples from him and my panties which I am almost certain have his DNA on them. Does anyone know why it is taking so long to get the results? How long does it take? The detective I'm working with has told me 6 weeks...then 4 months...and now he has told me a different amount of time. Do you think they are not so concerned since this man (rapist) is also an EX-COP?

I am a hard working American with a small family who can support my family without any Govt assistance. I am finding out that because I am not a Millionair, Doctor, etc I have no chance of getting a visa. But it seams that if I were a citizen in a third world country with absolutely no way of supporting myself or my family, was from a group of people that are causing crime and distress in your land, that if I could hardly speak English, that if I was someone you would rather stay away from instead of having a pint with them, if I were someone who you would not like your children to be around, if I were scum that I could come to the UK? What is wrong? I know I would be a good law obiding citizen that could contribute something to the country even if it were just the taxes I would have to pay. Who in the heck is running this, who comes up with these laws. Would you rather the immigration dept., keep me out and let in scum, or keep scum out and let me in? Who is running the immigration

I have read that Illegal Aliens are being issued Social Security numbers that often duplicate existing citizen's numbers. I also hear that there is great pressure to simply make Illegals legal as they are.

What happens when "Juan" is made legal, and he has MY Social Security number? Does he then have rights to all my Social Security payments for him to retire on and get benefits on?

I have understood that the government WILL NOT not even check for duplicates, since it might catch a lot of Illegals that way in a crime, and have to deport them. And my Congressman told me that searching the SS data banks was physically impossible. He had been told that by SS people!

Now I know about any 2-year graduate of an IT course can set up data bank searches for duplicates in flash!

I have also heard that Congress makes billions of "free" money off the Illegal's "contributions" on the duplicated numbers, money I will not see.

Does this seem right and proper to everybody but me? Or not?

My friend asked me to cosign for a car loan. I agreed. When we got to the car dealership they stated that her credit was to bad..They told me that I would have to get the car on my own. she promised that she would make all payments on time. I went ahead and put the car in my name. Here it is 2 years later and she has not made a payment. I have went to her job to get the car. I found out that she has other people dropping her off. I went by her place to discover that she has moved. All numbers have been changed. I contacted the police and was told that I could not report the car stolen. I amm in the process of buying a new home and I really really need this extra income...if I could at least get the damn car back. Even if I cant sell it at least I would have the car. What can I do

My dauhgter is a senior in high school. She is on the drumline for her school and a section leader. Every year that she has been there they have always said a prayer before band competitions. Only people who wanted to participate would. Last year a new student and band member has come to the school and it has been one drama scene after another. This girls parents are the sue hungry people I know. They are trying to stop my daughter from praying before the competitions and I don't think she should have to do that. Just as it is there right not to pray , I feel it is hers to carry on a tradition and be able to show her faith . If they decide to try and sue over something like this , what can I do? Trust me I would not be writing this if this all wasn't coming to a head. These harassed a student last year , go in his face and screamed profanities at him because they thought he was pushing a pit instrument to hard that there daughter was helping with . Please help me and no smart a's pleas

I thought about a wonderful plan to attack someone's reputation. If you create an account on Meetup, MySpace, Facebook, etc. and use a person's name on all of these, chances are these pages will pop up first on a search engine when somebody types his name. If I used someone's name and possibly photos on these websites and then tried to ruin his reputation by making the accounts join derogatory groups (example, on all these websites he would join a gambler's club, a drugs club or even a pedophile convention!), could I get caught/sued for trying to attack that person's reputation?

Thanks in advance.

When the geocide bill gets through congress, the turks will nicely give back the land of the armenias, which will include a border through iraq. If the turks dont give the land back as normal human beings, then the russians and armenians will eat the turks alive and wil take all of turkey. Being a russian, our country has armenias back so the turks should just give up before they lose it all. for the usa, i dont think armenia would have a problem with setting bases in their teritory. Somthing th great president GWB should consider.

OK.. the damage being caused by steroid fueled sports cheats like Marion Jones, Ben Johnston and countless others is manifesting in numerous ways. Firstly is the massive loss of people interested in sports. Numbers are certainly down.

The other effects include a total loss of image for an entire nation, due to a few drug cheats.. USA clearly has a bad reputation as does China and in the old days it was the Bulgarian or German weight lifters.. today it's almost every nation in almost every sport!!

How can this be fixed and what kind of punishments should be handed down?

Clearly modern punishment doesnt work. So here is my list open for discussion:
1) MANDATORY 12 month prison terms for drug cheats for DISGRACING THE NATION.. this should be put into law.
2) Return ALL medals EVER won and struck OFF all record books or events books.. blot names of drug cheats right off the history books compeltely!! give then NOTHING!!
3) Loss of earnings!! TAKE THEIR MONEY!! ALL OF IT ..

Russia is closer to Iran so you'd think russia was more at risk, Iran hasn't attacked another country for over 200 years. Why all the propaganda against Iran and a push for war? Oh..neo-cons are in charge!
