Politics & Government - 17 December 2007

When the candidates attack each other, throwing mud in all directions, do you pay attention? Or are you waiting for the dust to settle so you can pay attention to the issues again?

This is a question that my sister has to write a paper about for school (though it's also an essay contest for SDOG). What are your thoughts on this topic?

As many people around the World continue in their amazement over the total moral and economic collapse of the American Nation, a possible new clue as to why this so was revealed this past week with the United States Department of Justice announcing the staggering rate in which their government has been jailing their own citizens, and which now stands at 7 million Americans. According to these reports, 'A record 7 million people - or one in every 32 American adults - were behind bars, on probation or on parole by the end of last year', and when these figures are added to the estimated 1 million prisoners of war held by the Untied States, all around the World, the once great American Nation has now become the greatest jailer of human beings the World has ever known.

Shouldn't the law be more about MORALS?

This candidate raised money this quarter that is more than double his previous 3 quarters, and his popularity polls have jumped 500%. He has set a 1 day fundraising record in the history of campaign fundraising in the United States. And he has always exceeded his fundraising goals every quarter.

Would you consider it 'impressive' enough?

A friend of mine who gets lost really easy was out driving around on dirt roads and pulled into a field to turn around. He sat there for a couple of minutes and tried to figure out which way to go when a cop drove drove by and noticed him sitting there. The cop then went into the fenced area to do his '' so called business''. He asked if he could search the vehicle and was told no. After being told this the cop went to his car and got the k9 unit to search the car. By the end of the night there was one arrest.

Just wanted to know if this sounded very wrong to anyone else.

Will she have to be restrained? Sedated? Will threats be made? Will the delegates from states that vote for Obama make it home safely? When you consider what has mysteriously happened to dozens of people who have crossed her in the past, it makes you stop and think, doesn't it?

If some guy called me a Bi*ch, Slut, Whore, F*cking peice of sh*t, and any other names you could think of thats sexual harrasment.

Also even if he was joking it is still sexual harrasment right.

Oh another thing does it matter any if he has ADHD.

I don't want to get him in trouble its just he is always calling me and my friends those names (especially a girl he really likes) I just want him to understand that someone could press charges for being called those things.

I work hard at a job and take night classes. I have been rewarded for my work by a 35% raise over the past three years. I am in the process of starting my own business on the side. I save my money and invest in the stock market.
Follow up question, despite all this I have horrible health care from my company and have not been able to find an affordable health for myself. Don't I deserve better health care?

my parents just got custody of my niece from my sister. She seems to have chronic bronchitis or asthma. While she was with my sister she was not allowed to be put on medical because her dad is in the military and she is supposed to have champus, or tricare or whatever the military uses these days. My parents are now incurring the extra cost of adding them to their insurance. I told them she was supposed to have military insurance because she is registered as a dependent of someone in the military, he pays child support and recieves the extra money for having a dependent. What do my parents need to do now that they have custody to put him on his insurance. My sister says that the paperwork hasn't been filled out, but i spoke to other ex military people that say all they need is her fathers social security number and to go the base and fill everything out. What needs to be done!?

I think under British law, you can proceed through a red traffic signal if you are obstructing an ambulance behind you by not doing so.

I was trying to think of other situations where the law allows non-Blue light vehicles to pass through red traffic signals, any more?

Hillary's campaign is going to have a new strategy to show her "likability".

I guess this means we can see more of her extra wide, Tom Cruise-like, wide eyed, fake smile. She can pretend she's a woman of the people.

It will probably work on some people but I think most of us know what a mean, vicious person she really is. There are just too many stories out there.

By the way, I don't feel that a mean, vicious person would necessarily be a bad President.
