Yet, When Liberals look at the same man they see a victim?

Hillary's example would be to raise taxes to help miserable poor people. A Conservative would help them to find a job.

In many areas of Africa there are sufficient supplies of anti-retro viral drugs to drastically improve the lives of many thousands of people with HIV and AIDS. However, all too frequently, these people can't get access to the healthcare they need.

We at Trans Tanz are trying to find simple solutions for this serious problem - but what are the biggest obstacles we need to overcome and how can we best help?

I could live with Guilliani as the Republican nominee and I think he is generally articulate on the issues, but he got. . forgive the pun. . . shot up over the gun contol question.

His basic premise to the Second Amendment was that the rules applying to the right to bear arms are not absolute, and then went on to cite certain legislation.

He would have been much better off saying, "Look, The First Amendment guarantees Freedom of Relgion, but that doesn't mean you can practice human sacrifice. The First Amendment aslo guarantees Freedom of Speech, but that doesn't mean you can go blabbing nuclear secrets to Iran."

"Similarly, the Second Amendment may not be absolute. It may be reasonable to ban assault weapons, do background checks, or deny weapons to someone who has a track record of mental illness. As the First Amendment has certain limitations, I believe the Second should as well."

Granted, the answer may have not gone far with last night's crowd, but it is defensible

...be they guilty of their crimes or otherwise, who were sentenced before the current 'spit-lifting' methods of the police. Knew a prison warder who used to work at a midland jail for prisoners serving over five years...apparently the main moan from half the cons were that they were 'set up'.
The family of the girl, Jacqueline Marie Thomas, who was only 15 must be beside themselves with expectation, realising peace is days away now, if the man charged in the right one...but it would be good to realise DNA can not only bring peace to families who for years have had to experience pain - but also the wrongly sentenced...okay, a section of the UK press would rather keep silent on what they might see as another 'advantage to exercise prisoners rights', but this can help investigators solve old cases...not only for the joys of victims families - or the perverse sexing-up skills of the populist press - but cons who are punished for not 'owning up' to their 'crime'.

Since Section 8 of the US Constitution states:

Congress shall have power:

To coin Money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin, and to fix the standards of weights and measures;

Shouldn't we be blaming the Democrat controlled congress for the falling value of the US dollar. Didn't the dollar start to fall shortly after democrats took control in Jan, 2007?

Scientists have found a new threat to the planet: Canadian beer drinkers.

The government-commissioned study says the old, inefficient "beer fridges" that one in three Canadian households use to store their Molson and Labatt's contribute significantly to global warming by guzzling gas- and coal-fired electricity.

"People need to understand the impact of their lifestyles," British environmental consultant Joanna Yarrow tells New Scientist magazine. "Clearly the environmental implications of having a frivolous luxury like a beer fridge are not hitting home. This research helps inform people — let's hope it has an effect."

The problem is that the beer fridges are mostly decades-old machines that began their second careers as beverage dispensers when Canadians upgraded to more energy-efficient models to store whatever Canadians eat besides doughnuts and poutine.

University of Alberta researcher Denise Young, who led the study, suggests that provincial authorities hold beer-fridge buy-backs or round-ups to eliminate the threat — methods that Americans use to get guns off the streets.

In my government class I'm doing a report on Democrats (their history, beliefs, etc). I can't seem to find any good websites that give thorough information besides Wikipedia, which we're not allowed to use. I would like to read more about their beliefs on certain issues..gay rights, abortion, and health care in particular.

Know of any good, accurate websites?

I stayed up late last night to watch the Republicans debate on CNN . At the time I was thinking that the forum was immature and seemed slanted by the questionable questions . But I thought further and decided it must be because the questions were coming from YouTube . . . . . . UNTIL this morning . Now I'm sure everyone knows that Hillary got caught planting a member of her campaign to ask a question . . . . . For the UMPTEENTH time !!
And I'm wondering if Hillary supporters are decent honest people who expect Hillary to be decent and honest as well .Or maybe they are decent honest people , and maybe some or many of them are getting fed-up with this FRAUD . I don't know , maybe Hillary supporters also support FRAUD ???

So do tell. . . . . . .. Are Any Of The Hillary Supporters Getting Fed-Up With Hillary's Lies And Fraud ?

I am seventeen years old, and I'm sure with that said (I automatically qualify as being irresponisble). I was recently pulled over by a state police officer and ticketed for running 70 m.p.h. in a 55.

Now my problem comes in - I (honestly) was not running 70 m.p.h.
I'm not a speeder because I'm never in much of a hurry over anything -even things I should be.

I didn't speak up and say anything at the time of the stop because I was petrified of the officer, so I kept my mouth shut and took my ticket.

What can I do now?


I've had my license for a little over a year 1/2 now.
That was my first citation.

Both worthless. All people ever do on here is trash the other party, trying to prove which one has the worst record on whatever. The most scum, the most corrupt, the most criminal. And people make good arguments on both sides.
Face it, there is only one party. They may claim they stand for different things, but when it comes time to pay up, what happens. Blame it on the other guy. Give up already, please!!! I'm tired of hearing about it, from both sides.

I see the message boards are lighting up over the pregnant woman tased in Ohio, and several responses mention how deadly the taser is, so I thought I'd post some facts.

Voltage does not kill, amperage kills. The taser works on .0021 amps, 30 times less than the minimum lethal amount of .07 amps.

Electricity is not stored in the body, so if the taser was the cause of death, they would die while they were being tased, not hours later. All the deaths I have read about were from pre-existing medical conditions, most commonly a drug overdose that was lethal in itself.

Tasers effects muscle control only. Not the brain, not the heart, not organs. Muscle control is not life threatening.

Now I am not going to get into justification, that is another issue that needs to be considered on a case by case basis and can not be addressed by itself. I just want to know about deaths.

If you have a link to a news article that says otherwise, please post it here.
