If Howard Dean were running, and it was either him or Hilary for the Democratic nomination,who would you pick?

I always thought Dean would have been great.

Sadly, the fickle dems turned away from after his infamous 'scream'. The they went the route of the party establishment and chose a boring nominee in the form of Kerry.

If Dean were in it now, would you choose him over H. Clinton?

An illegal alien, an illegally parked car and NY politicians...?

Am American citizen parks his car illegally and gets a ticket. One year later he still hasn't paid the ticket and his license is taken away.

An immigrant sneaks across our border and enters the USA illegally. One year later he is still here illegally and NY city gives him a drivers license.

Am I missing something here or are politicians more concerned about illegals than citizens? If we can't throw out the illegals why are we not throwing out these phony politicians? Could someone help me understand this?

What Has Atheism Done for Us?

You can't argue about the profound effect Christianity has on this world...and the effect has been for the GOOD.
Schools, missions, charity work, etc...

What have atheists done except screw up a good thing?

At this point, is there anything that can prevent Hilary Clinton from winning the Democratic party nomination?

She's so far above her fellow democrats. Even is she runs into a few problems, she's still double digits ahead of Obama and Edwards.

Can anything stop her?

Come on Britain! We need to get a hold of this situation!?

I am sick to death of all these goddamn immigrants invading our country. Why the hell should they come to Britain, they should help their own country than to "drop out" as it were. As someone from England, I feel that we should do this: either get rid of the stupid "Open Boarders" policy, or we secede from the EU. We should enforce a law that any immigrant not carrying a passport should be arrested!

Phew... sorry, I needed to get that out. But seriously, we need change! We need to get rid of the Open boarders policy. This was such a stupid idea. How can we change it?

Why do we praise the people in power as being "strong leaders" when a major attack happens during their watch?

Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Would American Christians consider it a 1st amendment breech if we changed the national motto?

I am an atheist. I don't believe that there is a (big G) God or a (little g) god or a goddess or a flying spaghetti monster for that matter. Yet I live in a country that has adopted "In God WE trust" as MY national motto.

The first amendment to the Constitution - the primary specific right granted in the bill of rights - promises me that my Congress shall pass no law establishing a national religion, yet they violated this promise to make the idea that all Americans trust in one and the same God the central thematic idea of our shared rallying cry.

The truth is, however, I don't trust in God. Neither do the Hindus who live here or the neo-pagans or the Buddhists or Seiks or Shintus or native Americans who practice the old religions. So I'm wondering, would Christians be offended if a majority of Americans decided to change to a secular motto such as "In reason we trust, because there may not be a God?" Wouldn't this be in keeping with our first amendment rights?
Just wondering.

After an abortion, are you allowed to keep the remains of the undeveloped baby for burial purposes?

Is there a procedure one must go about to do this?
Is it illegal due to some biohazardous waste protection laws that prevent someone from doing this?
Is it even possible to register someone unborn as deceased?
If not, who would give a plot of land to bury an unborn child?

Is it possible to take legal action?

I lost my diary at school, and a counselor found it and read it. It contains my personal thoughts, and records my actions. I have written in it about a suicide attempt too, but of course it was a "fake" or "gesture" towards one. I felt that her reading it without my permission was a violation of my privacy. Is there anything to do? Someone commented me on my blog that I may be able to do this...

I am so tired of reading about Obama's blackness. We can just look at him and see he is bi-racial, so why is it that YAHOO's (Yahoo's Presidential Campaign Obama" first sentence about him will be that he is "the son of a black father from Kenya and a white woman?" What in the world does that have to do with his campaign? Am I the only one that finds this rascist?
