Hi-

Only nuanced responses, please. I am looking for thoughtful, learned opinion.

What is your opinion on UN peacekeepers/forces? When should they deployed? What is your normative opinion of the system?

To begin with, im an illegal immigrant. I was brought here by my parents when i was 8. Please keep negative comments to yourself. Do i have to sign up for selective service regardless of my immigration status?

It's sad how some people say that illegal immigrants don't like the U.S., but I actually do love this country! I recite the pledge of alligence every single day and I speak,read and write English. And if i have to, i will defend this country.

The USA has a federal form of gov't. What does this mean? In what ways does federalism shape American politics. In other words, how is the American political system different because of this method of organizing power? Perhaps another way of looking at this is to ask, what difference do states make as separate political entities? How has this changed over time?

do you feel stpid for blindly following bush? mad? embarrased?

anytime bush says something it just isn't true.

No WMDS
No wiretapping in the US
No leak of Valerie Plames name
Pat Tilma
Jessica Lynch
No amensty
No torture

on and on so forth and etc.

and of course no nukes in Iran

"WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush was told in August that Iran's nuclear weapons program "may be suspended," the White House said Wednesday, which seemingly contradicts the account of the meeting given by Bush Tuesday.

are you sick of your man just lying to you and you bleive it for no reason NO RATIONAL reason to believe bush. yet you do?

Are you done believing him and letting bush make a fool of you yet?

because bush does just that. all those that believe him and keep believing him look like fools. Bush knows it. So what does he do? he lies some more. i'd be embarrassed personally if I didn't stop believing anything bush babbles out.

I have a felony conviction from 1998 for fraud. It's not something Im proud of, but I was young and didn't understand what I would go thru in life with that on my record. Now that im older, im realizing that i cant afford for it to be on my record!

i owe 1,600 in fines and at the time of the conviction i was told that if i paid it off that it would be reduced to a misdemenor,. i didn't have the money then so it went on as a felony. now i want to pay it off and have it reduced to a misdemenor... is that possible?

Only serious answers only. If you dont know the answer... dont try to guess... thanks =]

and even says that with the repeal of the Brady Ban on semi-automatics he is freer now than before.

I believe that with the PATRIOT Act and the general feelings of fear pervading the country that we are less free.

What do you guys think? Do you feel more or less free? Have your rights been intruded upon?

During the repulsive debauchery in the streets of SF, young children were allowed to watch lewd and laschivious acts.

This happened in Nancy's district. Why does she refuse to condemn it? Where was "Arnold"?

"ZERO" arrests were made and the police were participating.

Where do we draw the line???

I had a fire on September 18, 2007 - I am still living in a hotel. With this new microwave recall today, I decided to check on my microwave. ( Even though I thought my insurance company had done their homework) My microwave had a recall for FIRES in 2001. I of course was never notified. What recourse do I have with Kenmore/Sears ? My life was turned upside down after this fire......

Women are forbidden to drive, to show their head and to speak in public, and to shake a man’s hand. On television, preachers incite husbands to beat their wives “for their own good”.

Without permission, women cannot even drive a car or change the colour of their clothes, and television preachers warn that women who shake a man’s hand are committing “adultery of the hand”.

In some Saudi cities, a woman cannot even “show her face”, she cannot get married without permission nor can she “remain married if one of her male relatives decides that her husband's lineage is inferior to hers... nor can she sue for divorce without apologizing and paying a fine.” Without permission, she “cannot keep her children after the divorce... hold a senior position in the private or public sectors... annoy her husband, and finally, a woman's voice is considered [a form of] defilement, and she is forbidden to speak in public.”

What say you?

Look at how effective those signs are in the malls that ban guns. I'm thinking if that's so effective, I should do this and no one will break in? Is that a great idea or what?

They should be more concerned about Iran obtaining nukes -- one nuke is going to do a lot more in 5 minutes, than Global Warming will in the next 100 years.

The Neo-Cons behind the Bush Regime have consistently endorsed making war against Iran. So when an Iran ruled by a moderate approached the US for talks in 2003, Bush turned them down - and THEN Iran elected the nutjob Ahmadinejad, the current president.

Now it looks like Bush intends to attack Iran before his term ends, regardless of national sentiment, the facts about Iran's non-existent nuclear weapons program, or even the limits of the Constitution.

Do YOU agree that George W. Bush should be allowed to commit America to yet another Middle East war just because he's "the decider" without congressional or national support?

Does anyone know where I can find out the location of my caucus meeting? I live in the north-central Iowa area. Would I have to travel to Des Moines, or does my county have one? If it does, could I instead go to the one in Des Moines (I'm assuming there is one in Des Moines). Also, am I allowed to be there? I figure I am, I am currently 17 years old but will be 18, 2+ months before the election and plan on voting. Thanks.
