After taking a look at all the debt the govt. is in, all the debt that US consumers are in ($800 billion in credit card alone circa 2005), record property foreclosures, the poorly designed and crafted profit reporting requirements for businesses, and very little government (SEC) oversight of business, I think its out of control now.

Bernake might be in the cab trying to put on the brakes, but I think he is going to crash and go up in flames with the economy, shortly.

What is your take?

Don't they know what is going on better than those of us who can only see through journalists? So what's their (or your) opionion of Iraq? We've got politicians on both who all rattle off. But do they truly know? Liberals may not like Patreas, but he does have authority, and he is more experienced. From what I hear, rising in the military isn't like running for president. And if another general proposes disaproval, he/she (I don't know how it works) shouldn't be labeled anti-american.

And please don't bash one side or the other. I hope to hear from those who are or have served.

I see so many people in here who blindly accept what our government tells us about 9/11, when the fact that Bush in the very least knew about it, and let it happen, to get us into Iraq under the guise of terrorism. The proof is all over the place, but these idiots continue to watch Fox News' Hannity and Colmes, and O'reilly, who support our countries efforts in Iraq, and support Bush. This whole terrorism crap is really a well planned strategy by the administration, to eventually have us so scared of terrorism, that we are willing to give up every right under our constitution, in hopes that we will be protected by our government. But, don't ask any questions. Just believe whatever we tell you, and watch Fox News!

Lets face it the man has a very stressfull job to begin with but to deal with such disapproval from his country with poll ratings and protest he still manages to hold his head up and run the country greatly. Would you rather have a president who sees the polls and changes his policy's and beliefs or have a president with some back bone who stays strong on what he thinks is right?

We sided with the Kurds in Northern Iraq, and even went in because Saddam was using mustard gas against them in the early 90's...........now we are going to let Turkey invade and kill them? Because we favor Turkey over Iraq? Who is the PKK and why are we not protecting the Kurds? Is it just me or is all of this FUBAR?

Me and some gals at work were just discussing and, of course, it turned into an argument, with me as the enemy. I say it's not the job of government to parent. But, they were saying that it will cut down on teen pregnancies. Their argument was that all teens are having sex, no matter what anyone tells them, so it's better to give them birth control so they don't get pregnant. My argument is, that will open the door to a free for all. Who is going to foot the bill for all of the STD's, AIDS, etc. I said if they are not listening to thier parents or teachers about sex, then they won't listen to them about having safe sex. And, birth control pills are given to us women via prescription by our dr.'s, after we have had a pelvic exam, etc. Are these girls going to get exams before they are given the precriptions? And, why does the government think that they can parent better than parents? Also, my 19 year old daughter brought up a good point....she said all kids are not

If you answer yes do you remember the weekend of June 25-27, 1993? The Clinton administration struck Iraq with a volley of missiles on Baghdad. The strike killed a number of Iraqis (and a camel) but left Saddam in power and unscathed.

The Clinton administration DID NOT seek U.N. approval for the strike, and some U.N. Security Council members were quite annoyed. They were bothered that the Clinton team proceeded on its own evidence. According to Madeleine Albright, U.S. evidence alone was sufficient for U.S. unilateral action; U.N. approval was not necessary. Albright, Clinton, and Gore were adamant: the United States did not need U.N. approval to use force against Iraq.

I realize that its a lost cause. But I do support China. And the way I see it, America is so corrupt and decadent, that if I try to change things "inside the system", I'll either lose out to people more cruel than me, or become so evil myself that I won't stand for anything.

Better to be a man of good character fighting for a lost cause than a successful goon. Look at all of history's heroes with the exception of militrary men like Napoleon, none of them played inside the sytem even when thier cause seemed dire and hopeless.

I'm not looking for a history lesson here. I know the "Dirty little secrets" of communism, like the back of my hand. But I support the communist Part of china. What I'm looking for is philsophical feedback on what is a better life spent. Fighting inside the system hoping to work your way up and make a difference or fighting outside the system for a "pure and noble" cause with no chance of victory?

The CPUSA is the ONLY party that supports the government in China.

My girlfriend and I were having sex in my car. It was parked next to another car in a secluded area on the side of a movie theatre. We were both naked from the waist down and she was giving me oral when the family of the car next to us came back to their car! I have legally tinted (not too dark) windows, but the mother and pre-teen daughter were staring in the window at us! The mother appeared to get on the phone immediately as if to call the cops! My girlfriend and I immediately got dressed and waited for the family to leave. As they were pulling out of the space, their car paused for a moment, and I believe they were either taking a pic of my car/plates, or writing my info down. As soon as the car left, we both fled the scene. My question is, IF they did take a pic of my car, what EXACTLY can they do with it?? What can they prove? Will the police do anything about a complaint like that?
I am concerned that the cops will be knocking on my door next week with a warrant!!
HELP!!
