Politics & Government - 11 December 2007

Some con said I was doing it wrong, laughed at me, and stated that I was no good in math.

Then after I pointed out how he was wrong and I was right, he admitted his mistake, but then today I find out the question where he admitted he was wrong has been deleted.

Do you think that's a coincidence or do you think the guy reported the question for deletion so I wouldn't embarass him with over and over again?

============

"LOL. YOU DIDNT EVEN USE THE CORRECT FORMULA. PERCENT CHANGE IS (C2-C1)/C2"

"I knew economics was not a strong suit but now figured math is too. THATS NOT THE SAME THING. "

"yep, I did that too fast. I admit it. all the change did was raise ALL VALUES BY ABOUT 0.2 %. "

BY THE WAY THE 0.2 REMARK WAS WRONG TOO.

I was prompted to ask this, because I have seen some people argue that Muhammed was a pedophile in order to discredit the Muslim religion. As some of you may already know, Muhammed's wife, Aisha, was about 9 or 10 when she married him. Of course, in the time and place in which we live, such behavior would be considered unacceptable, but let's take a few things into consideration. For one thing, children and teenagers haven't always been treated as they are now. If anything, through much of history they have been treated as small adults. Second, throughout history, marriages have often been based on political alliances rather than romantic love. In fact, in Muhammed's day, marriages in Arabic society were often arranged so that tribes could forge alliances. Not only that, but Muhammed certainly isn't the only historical figure to have had a child bride. In fact, it is said that Mary was probably 12-14 years old when she married Joseph. Nowadays, in most Western countries a person

On December 10, 2007 I was driving south on us hwy 19 exiting off the East Bay exit. To where I proceeded to move into the far right lane with turn signal on, I was about half way past the 1986 Volvo when she proceeded to move without a turn signal I in turn beeped to let her know I was there and sped up to avoid getting hit. After turning on to East Bay the 1986 Volvo pulled up beside me and threw something at my window (which left a scratch on my car) and proceeded to try to speed off. I accelerated to get in front of her and tell her to pull over. As I pulled in front of her the car in front of me braked and then I braked. Upon braking the 1986 Volvo rear ended me not once but twice. She hit me and I pulled forward a few and she again hit me. We were in the center lane so I pulled off to the side of the road and she followed but pulled in front of me. As I exited my car a girl who claimed to be her friend got in my face and was yelling at me. I told the girl to back out of my face

My girlfriend is not a citizen, nor resident, can she still study here in the United States? I love her so much and I don't want her to leave just because she can't go to college over here. I need help, is there a way? I'm a resident soon to be citizen, I'm 20, she's 18.

She said she feel she needs to know more how his Religion filters through.

Normally I'm laughing at things she says that pour into the news, as indicative of a kind of sad lack of intelligence and critical thinking skills more pervasive in this country today.

But I'm not laughing like that now.
I could reasure someone like her that a question like hers shouldn't be relevant, if it were JFKennedy.

But Mitt Romney clearly does not advocate for separation of church and state.
So, God bless her simple minded innocent perspective for once, Why on earth should her question be dismissed irrelevant?

based on faith alone?

Everytime I show evidence proving the economy grows faster when the government invests in the American people instead of government that gives their wealthy friends tax cuts...

they tell me the facts don't matter.

If the percent change in:
- inflation adjusted GDP
- inflation adjusted GDP per capita
- poverty rates
- inflation adjusted median incomes
, etc, etc don't matter,

what does?

Should we just take their word for it?

Being the wife of a former president does not mean Hillary is an experienced leader. Hillary is a junior senator with little leadership, and zero military experience who would be faced with huge decisions affecting the world. Should we not have an experienced leader in the most important job in the world? Would you want the wife of a surgeon doing surgery on your child with no medical training?

Regarding politics, Ive long been of the mindset that 'yeah it sucks, but the system has been set up so far beyond the peoples reach that we are now just long for the ride and can truly do nothing but take it and try to enjoy our own private lives'. Thinking as such, Ive never voted in an election.

However, the current buzz about Ron Paul got me interested and after listening to him speak in over 20 hours of videos and researching his voting record, I firmly believe that change is possible and Dr. Paul is our last hope.

Yet because the media actively diverts attention away from him, I feel that in order to make his candidacy possible it's going to require all the people like me sitting at our computers who would normally sit back and watch it all happen in disgust to GET UP AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. A large % of America has never heard of him, but with his giant grassroots support, that can change. Dont just assume others will do it for you. Take a stand, and fight any way you can

In Australia today there has been a lot of publicity about a ten year old aboriginal girl who was raped by 9 males in an aboriginal community. The offenders pleaded guilty, but none received a custodial sentence. Is anyone out there as disgusted as me with this situation? I cannot believe that this type of activity is not treated as the most serious of issues requiring strict punishment ... how desensitised to this type of disgraceful behaviour can we get, and what would be an appropriate sentence for them?
