It has been a long-standing tradition for the President of the United States to honor our Veterans by laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers on Veteran's day. This President, George W. Bush, who has sent thousands of brave young Americans to their deaths (or horrendous disability) in a war of his own chosing, could not be bothered to honor them this year because he wanted to be in his home state of Texas instead. Just like he did during the Viet Nam war, come to think of it.

How dare he disrespect our courageous troops and our honored veterans by purposely choosing to do what he wanted, to be where he wanted, rather than pay his respects in this time-honored tradition?

As a veteran, I find this to be shameful behavior, not befitting the office of Commander in Chief. I also find it dispicable that just a few days ago he used disabled veterans for a photo-op, playing video games with them just long enough to get his picture taken.

Are you as disgusted as I am?

I really think supporters of all three should rally to Ron Paul, he's obviously doing better and we need all the votes in the primaries to push him through.

I placed in a Speech and Debate Student Congress competition based on my speech negated the 'proposed bill' sponsored by another high school. The bill failed in student congress, but in real life, do people want the words "under God" removed from the pledge? Do peope even know why Eisenhower signed the bill putting those words into the pledge in 1954?

The weapon killed more people during its development than when it was actually used in war. This is an extra credit question for my Advanced Placement World History class. Any help would be thoroughly appreciated.

First of all, how many of you have either gone on holiday, or lived abroad for a while?

If your answer is yes, then next question is


What is your current views on immigration in this country? Do you want all who 'dont belong here' to leave, or you're not bothered?

Watching BBC world news from the states I have heard references to Gordon Brown being anti america and relating it to George Bush. Does this lead UK citizens to lump Bush with the citizens of the US? Do the nice folks in our motherland understand our 2 party system and that we didn't all vote for Bush and some of us think he is an imbecile?

Re: Abortion - You can't do ANYTHING you want with your body. If you asked your doctor to cut your leg off for no reason, the friendly white-coats would come for you. If the doctor did it, the people wearing blue clothes would come for him or her. So the absolutist philosophy is bogus, and has plenty of precedent stacked against it.

1. Completely unrestricted access in the first and second trimester.
2. Banned in the third trimester at viability, except for medical necessity. (Yes, if you have it I will raise it. Well, I won't raise it, But I will find a respectable infertile couple dying to adopt an infant within an hour of delivery)

Anybody who thinks late-term should be completely unrestricted should have their skull cracked and their brains sucked out. See how you like it.

7 month preemies survive all the time and are people. So the "It's a matter of religious opinion" argument is dead too.

OK?

...yes, "OK?" is my question

With interracial marriages and so many mixed race people being born every year, plus the prediction that by 2050 the nation will be truly ethnically diverse to the point where there's really no majority or minority, hate groups like the KKK and La Raza will eventually just dissapear as people will become less and less tolerant of them?

I've been reading lots of references to current political discussion concerning Scottish devolvement and representation in Parliament. Could a smart UK citizen enlighten an ignorant American on this issue?
