Politics & Government - 13 October 2007

It seems in my agency when there are productive issues to be solved, they rather single out one employee and focus all their attention on that one person for discpline, rather than view the problem as much larger than the fault of any one person, but an organizational issue. As a result the real issue never gets resolved.

What the Democrats said about Iraq, Saddam and Weapons of Mass Destruction (if Bush really lied then so did these guys)

"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom
line."
President Bill Clinton. Feb. 4, 1998.

"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program."
President Bill Clinton. Feb. 17, 1998.

"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force – if necessary – to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security."
Sen. John F. Kerry, D-MA. Oct. 2002.

"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction."
Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-MA. Sept. 27, 2002.

Come on now, look at this guy he looks like he has some serious issues to work out with himself. Anyone with the last name of Gore cannot be good. The only thing that I can think of that rhymes with Gore is Blood. This guy is going to trade us in for our souls. Where is Ross Perot when you need him?

I mean, I'm prepared to believe some people in charge were just stupid, but when EVERYBODY who knows anything says something is impossible, you have to start to think about ulterior motives.

Was just reading about the horrific deaths of 146 young immigrant women in a New York city factory in the year 1911, in which the grand jury found the owners of the place innocent, even though it was proven beyond doubt that they always locked the girls inside so no theft of clothing would take place.

How can something like that happen?

I have been using an image on my home theater website that unknowingly belongs to another home theater website. I don't even remember how I got the image and did not realize it was copyrighted.(my dumb assumption). I received an email from a lawyer firm representing the company stating that I remove the image from my website and report to them the income produced by my website. I did respond stating that I did not realize the image belonged to the company they represented and did not even remember where I got it. The website is an informational site about my hobby (home theater) and is not intended for financial gain. I apologized and removed the image. I then received another email from the lawyer firm stating that my negligence was not a valid excuse and I was still responsible for the use of their image. They attached forms for me to fill out for a settlement of $5,000. Is there a good chance they will sue and can they make me pay the 5 grand? I don't have the money. Site is removed

The Kyoto Treaty is the international treaty against climate change. 169 countries have signed it, except for Australia (and the United States) ?!

I'm genuinely interested to understand Australia's reasons for not having signed.
As an Australian, do you agree with this decision?

and plundered Social Security to help fund the bush family S&L scandal (we're still paying on that one). G.W.Bush has outspent all previous administrations combined, including Reagan-Bush.

Now unless the debt fairy waves a wand and makes that towering debt somehow go away, it has to be paid off with tax money.

How can anybody but a complete and utter cretin accuse other politicians of favoring tax hikes when the current group of idiots has put the country in the poor-house?

What FACTS can you give me to show that global warming does infact exist? When I say facts, I dont mean copy and paste some big thing or claim that scientist have proven it. I want actual FACTUAL DATA that proves global warming is man made, not the Earth's weather cycle that has been going on for millions of years.

I didnt ask this question to start a debate like every other question on here, I just want to see if anyone can actually source me data instead of just claiming the ice caps are melting and scientist have proven that it exists, because these same scientist were the ones that were POSITIVE another Ice Age was upon us in the 70s.
