It seems that in today's America everyone wants the government to control everything such as healthcare, retirement, etc. thus chipping away bit by bit at our freedom. I just wonder if our Founding Fathers who were adamant about less government would even have a chance at winning an election in today's America. So sad where our country is headed.

I mean, you're basically paying men and women to have sex. The only difference is that they're having it on camera and the resulting video is being sold to make money. Why isn't that considered prostitution, the web definition of which is "the act or practice of engaging in sex acts for hire?" Does the mere fact that this is a multi billion dollar industry excuse it from being labelled as prostitution and therefore illegal? Why is prostitution illegal in California when its San Fernando Valley is the porn capital of the world? This is not a moral question for me but a legal one.

True conservatives and liberals will always disagree on certain issues, but when the argument is that anyone who disagrees with Bush on Iraq "hates the troops" or "wants the terrorists to win," do you realize how idiotic that sounds (especially considering that you are referring to at LEAST half of America).

If you are an indigent (eligible for food stamps but not participating) and have to pay a 500$ late traffic fine, you can go on food stamps (remember, you are eligible before the fine payment).
The Montana DPHHS says you cannot collect food stamps after a 500$ fine since there is no deduction allowed for fines (that applies to those not eligible, does not apply to those eligible for food stamps). How do I get the Montana DPHHS to recognize delinquent fine payments could be causing an increase in food stamps?

My father is 73 now. I want to know all I can about his life. He will not discuss ANYTHING about the war with me though. Only things he has ever said was he was in Korea and was a paratrooper. Anytime I try to ask anything else at all, he tells me he won't discuss it, or changes the subject. I know war and what goes on is beyond what I can imagine, but it makes me sad to know I can't know anything about such a big part of his life. The war changed him so much my mother said, made him quiet and withdrawn all these years. Can another military man explain to me why he can't share even simple things? I know this is a painful question, but I hate for him to die taking those things to the grave. Any other vets who refuse to discuss, and why?

The dirty, poor and dangerous side of Mexico is something most Minnesotans never see, but what comes from that part of the country is a growing problem in the upper Midwest.
Meth and other drugs are being made in Mexico and brought to small towns and the big cities of Minnesota, often by illegal immigrants.
"First, it’s clear that the predominant amount of illegal drugs in Minnesota is coming from the southwest border, specifically from Mexico," Gov. Tim Pawlenty said.
Four men from Mexico were arrested in an Austin, Minn. drug bust in August.
Police tell 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS that the same scenario is playing out all across Minnesota on a growing basis.
5 EYEWITNESS NEWS has obtained photos from some of the larger drug busts involving illegal immigrants from Mexico.
Investigators found a half of a pound of meth, a Tech-9 machine gun and 50 rounds of ammo in a car driven by illegal immigrants in Pine County.
A traffic stop in Freeborn County led to the arrest of an illegal immigrant from Mexico, who was traveling with an assault rifle and ammo. Investigators found cocaine and $115,000 hidden in the gas tank.
The list goes on and on… "We are inundated by the Mexican methamphetamine instead of the homegrown meth," said Mower County Sheriff Terese Amazi.
She said over the last few years, all of the homegrown meth labs have been eliminated in her county. In one of the county’s larger meth busts, she said the majority of the suspects were here illegally from Mexico.
In a routine traffic stop, if a trooper discovers that the person is here illegally, they won’t necessarily detain them. 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS showed this ‘Catch and Release’ approach to law enforcement back in May.
Unless police have probable cause, they cannot look for drugs in the car or even send a K-9 unit to walk around the vehicle. Police tell 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS that policies like these are allowing drugs to make it to Minnesota.
"The Minnesota Supreme Court has tied our hands," Amazi said. "Unless we have a reasonable suspicion that drugs are in that car, we cannot run a K-9 by it. It just blows my mind why we can’t do that."
Pawlenty concurs.
"Illegal immigration is part of that and we need to get tougher on that for sure," he said. "But we also just have to get tougher overall on interdicting these drugs being run by car and truck from Mexico."

I work in the state of New Jersey.
Although the club they are promoting runs from 3 to 4, I feel very uncomfortable distributing this information to students, some of who are of Islamic faith. Although I would rather not disclose my own beliefs on religion, can they impose this demand on me to distribute a flyer with the phrases " a better of understanding of who God is" ,or " building a stronger relationship with God" on it. I feel boundaries are being stretched. All the staff are not involved in the club nor are they all followers of Chrisitanity. By contract we don't leave work until 4 pm so is there any violation on behalf of the school.

In trying to understand conservative thinking (oxymoron) i asked why black people in this administration have a proven track record of cosigning whatever their bosses say. there is no leadership from condi or clarence they blindy follow despite their stellar educations and reputations. is it to much to ask them to think and speak for themselves instead of high ranked puppets.

they then post both questions 45 minutes after the first one was asked, placing them deep in the stack where very few people will see them. I'm frankly shocked that they had the guts to admit that not posting the first question while posting garbage from lib-trolls (at the very same time) amounts to lib-bias, but then putting the questions deep in the stack serves the purpose of being biased while paying lip-service to the idea of them being non-biased.
