Politics & Government - 5 November 2007

When MSNBC and CNN had their debates they asked tough questions that you would expect would come from the right.

For example, they asked Obama if her daugher should get special treatment with affirmative action despite being from a priveleged background. They asked Democrats if they would give license cards to illegal immigrants, knowing how rabidly anti-illegal most of America is.

On the other hand, Fox News did not ask tough questions to Republicans that you would expect would come from the left. Instead, they took an even more right-wing approach.

For examplke, Chris Wallace from Fox News told Ron Paul that he was "cow-towing to terrorists" for wanting to remove troops from Iraq. They were especially tough on Guiliani for not being socially conservative enough and Mit Romney for his possibly fake social conservatism.

I think he will have quite a marked influence in her decisions.
He seemed to have given her ample freedom of expression when he was President, so she should do the same.

How much 'say' should Bill have? Your view?

Please note:
If you can't use your imagination, don't answer.

Fred Thompson has a "staffer", Phil Martin, who is one of four campaign co-chairmen. Is this another example of the "blip" style of journalism on FOX, when something unflattering to their side is duly reported, once, and then discarded. Unlike the "drip, drip, drip" method employed when the "scandal" is attached to a Democratic candidate or progresive person, there will be no faux outrage, no in-depth investigations into the person's past, and no revelations that, for example, the large amounts of "illegal substances" glazed over was $30,000 worth of cocaine or the fact that Martin was on probabtion for the sale of eleven pounds of pot when he was busted for the coke as well as book making. I think details like that are important to so-called "values voters" and FOX is minimizing those unsavory facts to keep the tarnish off the Party.
Compare this to the continuing coverage afforded to the Clinton campaign when Sandy Berger was found to be consulting with Clinton What say you Y/A?

Karlheinz Schreiber is the businessman who is suing former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper said a public inquiry into the Mulroney-Schreiber affair might let too many political skeletons out of the closet.

Is this a reason to ignore it? What are your thoughts?

Okay, first of all...I am mature enough to admit that I screwed up. PLEASE do NOT lecture me about what happened, I am being honest enough to admit this to you all - and I already feel punished enough.

Alright, this is what happened. I had a bank account at Washington Mutual. I payed to own a website online. I didn't know this when i was signing up, the site that I purchased the website from would automatically charge me for another month unless I cancelled my account. I ended up with lots of overdraft fees. I was fifthteen at the time and EXTREMELY dumb. I never paid the bank and my account ended up closing! Now, I am 16, and I have a bad feeling that the bank is going to sue me for the money I owe them.

I am perfectly fine with paying them for what I owe, even though it happened a YEAR ago. I mean, I SHOULD be held responsible for my stupidity. I have the cash to pay them back. I just don't know what do. If they already filed a suit on me, is it possible I can just pay them & not

847 US troop deaths in 2007 so far.
4 more and we will beat 2004 as the dealiest year so far.

I hate these numbers because it shows how much some people will use pro-Bush Administration rhetoric to justify a war we never should have gone into.

Eventually you run out of things to kill. And now with a civil war between Iraq and Iran is this surgwe "working" with numbers like these?

I'm making reference to the party in power now which I still believe is the Republicans. What if you lose? I don't mean in Iraq because I don't think that is a win/lose situation. I mean solely in reference to socio-economics.

Most people in Pakistan, where illiteracy is rife, get their news from TV or radio. Shortly before the government suspended the constitution and the freedoms it guarantees, cable operators pulled the plug on domestic and international news channels — including the BBC, CNN and Fox News.

I have been involved in few car "runs". These are small local events that take place every few months. They are not races or rallys, but more of a moving car show. We communicate on online forums and plan to meet at a predetermined location. We drive about 2 hours away to a road where we get to test our driving skills. The road is pretty challenging for unexperienced drivers, but we all just try to have a safe, good time.

Somehow I ended up planning the next run. Don't get me wrong, it isn't an organized/sanctioned event. By planning, I simply mean that I picked out a date and a meeting place and I post it on a forum. Then everyone on the forums says if they are planning on attending.

After a few weeks of checking the forums, I realized that we might have between 40-50 drivers. I am beginning to worry about the liability aspect of the run. Am I liable if someone decides to get stupid, or crashes their car? How can I protect myself against legal action? Can I be Sued?
