Politics & Government - 3 November 2007

Someone came up to me the other day and we were talking, and I asked him how work was. He replied by saying, "It's fine, you gotta do it, you know?"

I then replied, "Yeah, we in America need to work, there are millions of people on welfare depending on it."

True or false?

I suppose it can be taken both ways. Who knows.

FOX news became number one (all of which happened in recent years), we've never heard of Conservative media bias before, but have always heard about Liberal media bias?

Just curious. Thanks.

If you pay attention to Canadian politics (even if you are not Canadian) can you tell me what you think of Mr. Harper?

Maybe he doesn't deserve the credit (I haven't paid that much attention), but under his government, tougher laws have been passed, the Canadian dollar is beating the American dollar by over 7 cents, our economy is going quite well, unemployment is down, crime is down, and prices is magor department stores are dropping to. The GST tax dropped 1%, and it (among other taxes) is set to drop again in the new tax relief package thats coming.

Also, facts aside, Mr Harper does not seem "wishy-washy" like other politicians. At least not as much. He seems to stand firm on certain issues, like crime, regardless of public opinion.

So, do you think Stephan Harper (and his Conservative government) are doing a good job?

I'm sure there would have to be some type of psycho-analysis to prove whether or not you're a threat or not. But I feel like this, criminals will always be armed no matter what the laws are, so in reality the laws only prevent normal, law abiding citizens from protecting themsleves. So many crimes could have been avoided had ordinary citiznes been allowed to pack heat.

I recently saw in a local newspaper that we would do much better without an Air Force. What do you think of this suggestion?

National Public Radio has endless speakers who talk about WHY we should not be in Iraq, WHY we cannot win the war in Iraq, etc. Given this, exactly WHERE should we be fighting? I hear mention places like IRAN, but speakers say no, just a number of air attacks will solve that problem. I hear mention places like North Korea, but speakers say no, a collapsed North Korea government would be WORSE than any war, and I hear Afganistan is becoming a problem again. I thought we were already there? What happen. I am totally confused, except about Iraq. Big mistake, time to get out...

I want to join the National Guard. I have no problem defending our country if someone invades us here or helping in a crisis. However, I don't want to go to Iraq to fight a war I don't believe in. What are the odds of the National Guard being deployed in Iraq? I know it is less than the Army Reserve but is it fairly high? It's not that I'm afraid to go, I just want to fight for something I believe in, not something like this that I don't like.

Let's say they give me a contract to sign something away and I disagree to the contract, then they print another one that I agree to, mark it as a rough draft, then print another copy of the same one I didn't agree with and say it's the same as last time, and I don't read it, but just sign it. Then they take the thing away, and I figure out I have been trciked. Can I sue said person? Will I get what I signed away back?

If you're a business owner and someone offered you 10% commission to take the money they give you and pass it off as sales within your company, would you do it? You do not know what business he is in or why he needs you to do this, but he seems like a legitimate suit-wearing intelligent business man.

Part of this contract is to keep it between you and him, and tell absolutely no one else about it.

Also it's a one-year only gig--once a month he will give you approximately $1,000,000 which you'll pass off as sales and you'll keep $100,000 of it. At the end of the year you will have $1,200,000 in your pocket.

Would you do it? Why or why not?
