Politics & Government - 8 December 2007

i was watching a debate where he gives these long speeches about how devoutly religious he is....the man believes in creationism and not evolution... it seems like the man talks more about how hed be a good president because hes such a conservative CHRISTIAN and devout believer, as opposed to having any good policies.

and yet he still is winning certain polls...isnt it sad that just proclaiming how you are a devout Christian is enough to get people to vote for you

Personally, I think Arthur Scargill was right, but as for Blair's son being drunk in Leicester Square, well........

Waterboarding has a long history, it was used in the Spanish Inquisition.
-Regimes like the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia have used it.
-In some versions, prisoners are strapped to a board, their faces covered with cloth or cellophane, and water is poured over their mouths to stimulate drowning; in others, they are dunked head-first into water.
-The US has used it on al-Qaida suspects.
-Our present CIA Director Michael Hayden thinks the CIA should be able to use it, since they're so well trained
-Vice President Cheney said it's worth using it to save lives. He doesn't consider it torture.
-Human Rights Groups condemn it.

Now Congress is set up to fight Bush over it, since he's for it. Does the end really justify the means? If we use it, why can't other countries and regimes justify their use of it on US soldiers? Does the US want to use an interrogation technique many other countries consider torture? UK Guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,,2223150,00.html

Kay I just watched a documentary about a whole bunch of issues we have today. It had a lot to do with 9/11 and how the government created a war that will never be won. The 9/11 "incident" was planned and all those Americans were killed deliberately. They also had how it's connected to the future, and it seems that Bush signed a bill without the consent of the House or the Senate that will erase all borders with Mexico and Canada. A whole country will be created with its own currency. Eventually all the borders will be erased and it will be one world. They are also planning on installing chips into our brains. What happens when people get "out of control" .. the chip goes off. This is so scary .. and it seems that only 1 news station reported it, which CNN. Wow, it's scary how no one knows about this even though the bill was signed almost 3 years ago. If you know anything more please share .. I really want to know more about this.

I know you aren't supposed to ask these things but just curious about what everyone else thinks of the candidates we have running for president.

To give Al Qeada more support in their time of need?

The have gone on TV and declared "The War in Iraq is lost." and have gone unheard.

They have tried to set a timeline for US military pull out, and failed.

They have tried to pull funding for our US military when they are winning every battle against Al Qaeda.

Any suggestions? What say you?

I know plenty of people say that others can’t sue them because they don’t have money, but don’t they get jail time if they don’t pay?

***Also, what’s the difference between jail, prison, & the penitentiary? Are they all the same?

I was pulled over a couple weeks ago in Missouri for going 98 in a 70 mph zone. My license is intermediate and it was 5:09 A.M in the morning. I know I will be receiving community service hours and a driving class, but could I also receive a bigger punishment? I.E jail for two days, or license suspended for a year?

Asking those who may have legal knowledge...not looking for just opinions. As I've had more work done on remodeling and other projects, I can't count the number of times I've been told somebody would come out to give me an estimate, or even do work, but they don't show up. When biz is good, they apparently don't care if a job is lost. Usually the appt. is during normal biz hours, so that means I take time off from work to meet them at home, and then they don't show. Has also happened with service agencies (Cable, Phone..although they will usually negotiate a discount or credit on my bill if the rep never shows up). Is there legal backing to charge somebody for the couple hours of time I take off work, or even wknds if they say they are going to show up and never do. Doctors and others charge a fee if customers don't show. Can I email/fax contractors an agreement before hand for them to sign noting this potential fee? Seems like a good contractor would agree to the terms.

the WPA was created during the great depression as a means of putting people back to work, doing things like building dams, roads, skilled work for the government, etc.

you always hear a lot of people on welfare staying on it because the kind of jobs they are qualified for pay less than what they would get for welfare, so why dont we just guarantee everyone a job and make people on government assitance do community improvement things like pick up trash, do various things for the government, etc. rather than just giving them a handout? And for the single moms that complain about not having anyone to watch their kids or daycare being too expensive, some of them can work as daycare providers.

Court officer needs to levy the rent on the tenant of this landlord who I took to court because she would not give me my money back from the court judgment I won. Landlord is UNCOOPERATIVE. I need to find out the name of the tenants there. I cannot go through the mailbox to get a name, so any legal ways?? I HEARD something of a Certificate of Occupancy, from the local Board of Health, where the landlord must acquire and it will have the names of the tenants on there..true or false?

A couple of days ago, someone asked if people thought Mitt Romney would be assisted by his (then-upcoming) "faith" speech. This was my response (in quotes). Please read it, and then respond to the question that follows it:

"It'll just make him even more of a laughingstock. And... the LAST thing America needs in the White House is yet another president trying to send the USA down the road toward theocratic tyranny.

"I'm glad I live in Iowa, and will be voting in the Iowa Caucuses. NO person having any kind of religious agenda will be getting my vote.

-- "Roadrat" -- Normal, sensible, and UNobtrusive Christian."

Before framing the question, let me make it clear that "thumb's-downs" don't bother me in the least. However, I'm very puzzled that the above response got me TEN of those, and only one "thumb's up." I thought mine was a very sensible and fair-minded answer, so if anything, I wouldn't have been surprised if those votes had been 10-1 in the OTHER direction. [More]
