Politics & Government - 20 December 2007

I live in the UK, I'm Greek and have a new ID card. I've lost my passport but I need to travel to Austria in the next few days, will I be able to do that? Some friends have been allowed in the country with their ID cards but I'm not sure what the policy is.

The U.S. Senate's Committee released a report about hundreds of scientists who dispute the "Man Made Global warming" claim and crushes this so called consensus touted by the U.N. and Al Gore. Apparently the wool has been pulled over the world's eyes forcefully. These scientists have come forward despite threats to destroy their career halt funding and even physical harm. These threats were made by the "man-made" global warming community.

My second question, if the Man-made globalwarming community have the truth why would they have to resort to these tactics to stop the debate?

My third question, for all of your who were decieved how do you feel now?


The global warming question is still not answered all I ask for is if their is a dispute the there should be a public debate!!!!



WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Imagine this scenario: Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama get elected, and within six months, they locate and apprehend Osama bin Laden.

What would the Republican reaction be?

(And assume that I accept that all you right wing extremists will resort to name-calling and childish retorts in response to this question... I'm interested in hearing serious answers to this hypothetical scenario.)

So, the federal government blocked California from being able to regulate its' own exhaust standards for automobiles. Better than 10 states were going to follow suite. Has the Federal Government overstepped its' bounds on this one? Or do you agree with their move?

Hi,
I read that bombers, after taking off with bombs, must drop the bombs? Even is the mission is called off as soon as they take off, they must still drop the bombs and then return. Is this true? I guess the bombs cannot take the impact of landing. Can someone confirm this bit?

I was reading an article regarding the old style incadessant light bulbs and, their ultimate demise. Is this a wise move? I have the energy efficient ones outside and they take forever to light up in the cold. I also put one in my fridge, I might as well have nothing. With all this environmental friendly bs are we taking a step backwards?

Whenever Bush's name is brought up, how many of you hold up your hands and say, "Hey, I didn't vote him, don't blame me".

an election process that will reflect their individual votes instead of the system that is set in place now that uses political terms that actually diminished votes such as the electoral process. Has anyone else figured out yet that the way the process is set up now that all votes are not counted because of how the system is set up? If 20 people vote and then you look at the electoral process then all 20 people's votes just may not equal to zilch. WHen is this going to be fixed and why is it ignored? One of the greatest American lies: Your vote counts.

Everyone complains about our national debt, yet they act as if the government will solve our problems. My grandparents lived through the depression and paid very little in taxes for most of their lives. They saved for their own retirement and purchased their own health insurance. If you could keep half your taxes, you could easily pay for health care and retirement, so why do you want someone else to do it for you? Do you trust that they'll do it better for you? Do you believe they are smarter than you?

A fiscal Conservative. Don't throw Bush at me. He's a spender. I don't have a party right now. Clinton's National debt was 5.5 trillion, but all we hear from the socialists are his reduction of the deficit. Of course the deficit shrinks when the economy booms. He was lucky to have that Tech Boom (which was ultimately a hoax).
We need a new party!

They seem to have a systemic hatred of pensions in general, but this is really bad. Why is that?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7153401.stm

The government has rejected a plan to let women boost their state pensions by buying up to nine years' worth of extra National Insurance (NI) contributions.

In July, the government indicated it would probably support this, so women could make up for years spent at home looking after children or relatives.

Now the idea has been dropped, angering pension campaigners.

The charity Help the Aged was equally upset.

"In what amounts to an abuse of Parliament, the government has reneged on a promise to help millions of women and carers reaching state pension age between now and 2010," said Anna Pearson, the charity's policy manager .

"The decision... is effectively a stab in the back for women and carers," she added.

I dreamt we were friends. We were travelling around the country. She was campaigning and I was trying to talk some sense into her. It was like talking to a brick wall.

Oh, and there was a side plot about trying to get her to introduce me to Jack Black, whom in real life I don't find all that interesting. I mean, he's ok, but I'm not a fan. I have no idea what his politics are either.

What the heck does all this mean!!??
