I would like to become more informed about them, and form my own opinions, but I don't want to be force-fed other people's ideas about who to support.

If they refuse to actually take them from my hand must I only have the papers touch their body or can I set them down in their presence?

He stated that the tax code is weighted heavily in favor of the rich and it needs to be changed. He is the 3rd richest person in the world and recommends a progresive, consumption tax. He compared his income tax rate to his office employees. They averaged 30% to his 17.5%. He said he does NOT use accountants and files his own. He said accountants would find more shelters and would have him at an even lower rate due to the current tax code.

as a violation of Guidelines.

The question was a simple, neutral one:
When will other countries build military bases in USA, like we Americans do in their countries?

Can you help me understand the reasoning of the people in the Military section for reporting such a harmless question?

Did anyone report the user who slandered me in their answer for no reason too? If not, why?

I violated no Guideline, he did, but my question was deleted. Is this honorable? Is this behavior what veterans are fighting for?

The huge media conglomerates are forcing a monopoly on our media and our source of news and information. We are no different than Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union. It is almost laughable that many Americans still believe that we are a free country.

I've seen a disturbingly large number of people on here who have declared their intention of voting for "whoever is on the Republican / Democratic ticket" instead of simply voting for the best person for the job regardless of party affiliation. This party line mentality, sadly, explains so much.

Why do you think it is, that so many of our countrymen have ceased doing what is best for the country in favor of doing what is best for the political part of their choice?

Ok, so I have been blocked which is a bit childesh to me and it got me thinking that the policy should be "If you can not stand the heat get out of the kitchen" I have yet to block anyone from the politics section and dont plan to, if i dont like the questioner i dont answer, its really that simple. If that person answers my question I just disregard it, its not hard to do. But I have noticed a lot of people have been blocked adn No its not just one side, its both! Anyway, does anyone agree w/ this policy???

I see a lot of people, especially on this forum, that like to point fingers at Christians and call their behavior bad.
The way I see it is as imperfect as Christians are at least they're trying. This coming from someone who tried to live that lifestyle in the past. It aint easy especially in todays world.
