Politics & Government - 16 November 2007

A poll on polling report.com asks Americans how much they feel Congress has accomplished since 2006. 65% responded by saying not much at all...fair enough..they are right....when asked who they feel is responsible for that, 51% said President Bush and the Republicans in Congress, only 25% said the Democrats in Congress. By complaining about Congress, Republicans are hurting their own party more than they are the Democrats.

I vote conservative so that means usually Republican but one major issue I differ with most Republicans on is the Department of Corrections. I think there are way too many innocent people in prison / people that don't really belong there. And many have paid their debt to society and need to be released. Many Republicans have a throw away the key mentality and I think that's wrong! However there are many people paroled that shouldn't be. I think the whole justice system needs to be revamped to bring about a higher percentage of fair trials.
Anyway, do you have an issue that you generally depart from your political party's position on?

Hey everyone!!
I have a close friend (22 y.o.) who is living in Florida. He has been there since about 13 years now. His mom is germany, dad is american. He was born in germany. He has never had a german Birth certificate or german passport. Now he has decided to come to germany for good and of course , work there as well. German government requires him to have some kind of proof that he is also german because of his mom.
How can he apply for a german passport in Florida?? Is there a german embassy or something like that? What does he have to do to be able to work and live in germany?

Thanks for your answers in advance

Julia

I am genuinely curious, so please be honest.

Does anybody know that modern liberals in the United States are absolutely not liberals?

A liberal is a rational person who believes in natural rights and a free economy.

A liberal is one who would advocate less government control of people's income, business ventures, reproduction and even smoking one thing or another.

Liberty is a natural state. Government does not provide liberty. Government is a necessary evil that should be prevented from taking liberty willy-nilly.

Many Republicans prefer to forfeit liberty to make the country look and act in ways they are comfortable with and Democrats, generally mislabeled as 'liberals', are downright abusive of the natural rights of citizens, except when it comes to abortion or pot.

Had anybody heard of classical liberals before and does anybody else cringe when they hear anti-liberty zealots referred to as 'liberals'?

I am not for amnesty in any form, being I see the fall out from the one time amensty of 1986, where 3.1 millions were given amnesty and that was suppose to solve the problem, and being we now have at least 20 million and more coming each day. The issue was not on the forefront of the American people, but after 911 we had the lessons of unsecured borders flap us in the face.

The pre-911 geo-political deal to destroy America's military and deliver the globe to the New World Communists?
Posted by Royal Dutch Shell Plc.com at April 6th, 2007

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — Despite claims by some critics that the Bush administration invaded Iraq to take control of its oil, the first contracts with major oil firms from Iraq’s new government are likely to go not to U.S. companies, but rather to companies from China, India, Vietnam, and Indonesia.

While Iraqi lawmakers struggle to pass an agreement on exactly who will award the contracts and how the revenue will be shared, experts say a draft version that passed the cabinet earlier this year will likely uphold agreements previously signed by those countries under Saddam Hussein’s government.

“The Chinese could announce something within the next few months” if all goes well with the oil law, said James Placke, a senior associate at Cambridge Energy Research Associates who specializes in the Middle East.

i was at a party with only a few people there, all close friends except two shady individuals. one of which stole my wallet and used it at a gas station down the street on the next day.

im wondering if either my bank or the gas station can pull up the exact point in time when they used the card so i can somehow look at a video surveilance of that point in time to find who did this

It doesn't make sense. If one person ever brings me bodily harm i will fight myself to the end. No law book out there could ever say what is really going on in people's heads.

An example is the recent case of a white man using a shotgun against 3 black home invaders, They want charge him for shooting at the men when they were retreating because he shot them in the back. Come on, could they have been retreating to get someone/thing and come back to the house? You will never know. Someone invades your home they should be killed.

I don't understand why we protect the criminals and try to prosecute the victims. So what he killed some robbers, less thugs off the street in my book.

We all know that the segregation and religous hypocrisy that defines conservatism is lauded by mental patients on here, so I though I'd ask.

Ah oh, by the way, I'll say one of my favorites truths on here:
"If it were not for liberals heretics would still be burned at the stakes".

Amen!

So about 50 hippies and other... ummmm interesting people code pink, answer, a guy with a sign that says no war for oil (he got out of a big SUV btw) are outside my office in San Jose protesting... I guess they don’t realize that this building houses accounting and graphic design firms. But they are outside in orange jump suits and holding signs that say "Stop torture". I don’t have access to the top 8 floors but I am sure there is no torture going on here.

Now I have been watching them for a few minutes, why are the same 3 cars driving in circles around the building honking the horn? Is it to look like people actually care about their idiocy?

Do these people have jobs? Or are they paid to annoy accounting firms who deal with businesses not the government?

Should I go to their jobs and annoy them? Actually from the looks of the crowd, few actually work.

Should I go out side and practice my right to flip them the bird?

Anyone in San Jose want to join me?

I really cared about him. My daughter and I moved in. He had some episodes of drinking whiskey and kicked us out several times. Later said he was sorry and it would not happen again. Well, the last time, we really needed to go as he got extremely abusive. I had just received fuel assistance for the winter that gave him $1500 credit on his fuel bill and electric from the state because I was income eligible with my child. I feel that he owes me at least some of that in cash. He has put me and my daughter through a really bad time. She had to go live with her dad and I left the area to a city with a better job market and the hurt and deception made me want to really run. My question is does the #@*&%^! guy owe me anything for the fuel assistance he received?
