Then is a rapist an 'unwanted sex partner'? is a drug dealer an 'unlicsenced pharmacist'? is a burglar an 'uninvited houseguest'? is robbing a bank making an 'unauthorized withdrawal'? is a pimp an 'unofficial matchmaker'?

People are so politically correct when describing illegals, so why can't we do the same for the rest of these criminals?

If what Scott McClellan said in his new book is found to be true -- that the President intentionally lied to the public about the outing of Valerie Plame -- what consequences should Bush face?

Ok, I'd like to ask a serious question and that is why do most people view marijuana as a harmful drug and something that should be labeled as illegal? You should really either have tried it or seen or had an experience with someone on it in order to claim it as something bad, not take peoples word for it. People lie about everything, even your parents lied to you since you were little, even if a white lie like the Easter bunny or Santa.

I will start off by saying yes I do smoke marijuana, pot, trees, weed, that sticky icky whatever you'd like to call it I smoke it. Now while I don't do it every day of every week most will say once is enough and that it's illegal and will make you retarded, mess up your lungs, make you lazy and all types of things. First of all smoking pot is no more dangerous than if you were to actually go out drinking or were to go outside to have a cig....

Obama announced today that Oprah will be coming out on the Iowa campaign with him. So far, her endorsement of him has not made any discernable difference in the polls. Will this be any different? It could even hurt him, bringing along a celebrity, even one as powerful as Oprah. Some may feel that it's almost an insult to think they would change their minds or decide on Obama simply because Oprah says so. Thoughts?

Long story, but I feel I should explain as much as I can so I can get the best help.
My husband abused me and through me out of the house. I got back on my feet and filed for divorce. The kids have been with him and he wont let me near them. No one has custody and he won't respond to the divorce so there is no court date. We both legally have rights to the kids but I can't see them. I have tried all I know to do, aside from letting him kill me for coming to see the kids. What can I do?

I believe in personal freedoms from the government.
Drugs
I think people should be able to hurt themselves to learn from it

I want to decide whether i wear helmets or seatbelts.

Prostitution is debatable as a personal freedom because they tend to use abused women.

Gay marriage is under separation of church and state
Polygamy

Pro-choice but i would not do it


I think the richest of our culture should help the poorest as an obligation and as payment for the freedom to make money in our free society.

I think corporations should be policed so that they do not abuse the people.

I also want small interest groups kept away from out politicians.

I also think that most people are very confused by the media and their own judgments are used to rally them for unjust causes...

I need some good articles on guantanamo bay for a research paper. I need articles that I of course do not have to purchase. I just want articles that have basic background information about the place and what they do.
