Politics & Government - 2 November 2007

Feminists used to be very hot on the tail of "saving" Muslim women from abuse.

Hillary and Pelosi may soon have 2 of the most powerful positions in the world.

Will they be brave? Or will they be cowardly and do NOTHING about something their supporters used to scream about?

Will this make the National Organization of Women proud of Hillary ? Or will they simply ignore what used to be one of their most important concerns?

You will please forgive me. But after a multitude of preposterous posts about Hillary and "how will she deal with sex crimes" from a stupido this morning, I just want to illustrate how it can go both ways.

My girlfriends parents have decided that they would rather her sit at home in her room and cry night after night, rather than let her spend time with myself and my family. they say they don' t "dislike" me yet they have started making these rules such as...only allowing her to visit me on days that she has to work so that she really has no time to visit me. She made the decision a few weeks ago to leave her house to get away from the immature games that her "adult" parents are playing. They have made threats to her and myself that if she does leave home and come here to stay that she and I both will go to jail. Is there a Law that can cause either of us to be put in jail. Shes 18, shes unhappy and feels unsafe at home so what could either of us get arrested for. I wont be kidnapping her or anything so if anyone can help me with this It would be GREATLY appreciated.

that the terrorist attacks of 9/11 cost our economy a minimum of $500 billion including $150 billion in reduced GDP. This does not include the cost of fighting the war on terrorism. The cost for that is approximately 3% of GDP versus approximately 10% GDP during the height of the Cold War. Considering two years ago our nation endured its largest attack at the heart of its financial center, as well as an expensive war on terrorism, two tax cuts and numerous corporate scandals,

A 3.5% deficit in GDP does not seem unreasonable and on a percentage basis is still lower than we’ve seen in 20 years.

Well, I took the Military Test and recieved a 89. I will be an enliste, but I would like to know what I have to do to become an officer. I heard I have to have a bachlers degree, can I get it while I'm enlisted and if so do i get promoted when I get my diploma? I'm thinking about both the Air Force and the Navy, can you guys give me a bit of help making a choice, by giving me your opinion on both. Thank you.

i feel really very sorry when i see the present condition of our politics. There is no provision of to be literate to being a politician. there is no retirement age in politics. there is no strong law to punish the quislers who overlook the nation interest only for sake of money. The recent trends to put few politician from bihar and u.p behind the bar is not a option. we have to make a law neither a criminal nor a iliterate will contest elections. afterall it is the question of nation, how can we give our nation to that hands which has no any cautiousness for the upliftment of the nation and eradicating the ground level problems.

The man is wanted for his part in war crimes, yet he avoids justice like the plague.

Wouldn't rumsfeld feel much better if he would just turn himself in, and then he won't have to flee from justice any longer?

I am deployed to iraq and currently have 2 combat patches on top of the one they are forcing me to wear. I have searched the 670-1 and found nowhere that states they can force me to wear one. I have heard the "add to but not take away" well, forcing me to wear one takes away the right not to wear one. So, now i am stuck with a platoon sgt threatening action in the form of a 4856 or even Article 15 if i dont comply. thing is i would rather wear my 1AD patch instead of some "pog" patch.

The current debt of the united states is $9,080,460,907,936.26. The estimated population of the United States is 303,416,338
so each citizen's share of this debt is $29,927.40 (this is growing larger everyday.)
The National Debt has continued to increase an average of
$1.44 billion per day since September 29, 2006

Part of this reagonomics thing that bush is using is spending an extremely high amount of money and cutting taxes at the same time. Now, I don't like tax increases, I don't think anyone does, but how else are we to pay this massive war debt off? You will blame the democrats for raising taxes, when it was the conservative (bush) actions that led to the tax increase in the first place. A business can not spend more than it takes it. We see the implications of this in the weak and weakening more american dollar.

The woman changed her position inside two minutes in a debate,she clearly has nothing resembling "core principles" since she literally can't decide where she stands without a poll.If she can't even handle the rigors of a debate,how is she going to handle the rigors of being President?
