In one instance, 30 hospitals refused to treat an 89 year old lady in Japan.

In another case, 20 hospitals refused to treat a pregnant woman.

They both died.

Is that what kind Hillary is trying to give to Americans?

As of '95, Norma McCorvey is now a staunch anti-abortionist. She was used by various lawyers and shadowy feminist groups in order to challenge a law an anti-abortion law in Texas.

What does that say about killing of pre-born babies, when one of their greatest figureheads has repented and acknowledged her part (even though she was a pawn and never had an abortion)?

The news article this morning about Americans worrying over more than just Iraq is a very liberal point of view by Yahoo. The poll actually says that more Democrats were polled than Republicans. I am a Democrat, but i sure didnt fair well under a Clinton Administration, and have done much better under a Bush Adm. I do not want a Nationalized Health Care plan. I have freinds in Canada who have Socialized Medicine and they hate it. I do not trust Hilliary, Barak or John to make my decisions about health care for me. Would you leave health care to a vote of the people? For those Americans who cannot afford health care, the taxpayors are already paying for your health care. Everyone who seeks medical attention cannot be refused. Yahoo should give both sides of an issue instead of being one sided all the time.

correpondence simply disappears! Lost one personnal parcel and another came damaged over christmas. Rang the post office and was treated like $h1t! I work in an office and the theme repeats over and over. i'd say 1 out of 10 items gets lost. During the postal strike i'm absolutly positive they were burning post and it looks like that when the backlog gets too much, they just dig a hole and bury it! When will this be brough up inthe new? How can simple services in britain (post, public transport and health) be such a C0CK UP for the last few years??

"Police Begin Fingerprinting on Traffic Stops"

If you're caught speeding or playing your music too loud, or other crimes for which you might receive a citation, Green Bay police officers will ask for your drivers license and your finger. You'll be fingerprinted right there on the spot. The fingerprint appears right next to the amount of the fine.

While it states you can refuse, how many will?
Is this a way to start on identifying those NOT in the felon, military, gun owners camps?

Or is it a crime to state a fact? Why was my similar question deleted? Don't you want to hear the truth? Muslims explored North America at least 300 years before the discovery of the New World by Christopher Columbus, according to many researchers. Dr. Barry Fell, a noted New Zealand archaeologist and linguist of Harvard University showed detailed existing evidence in his work, "Saga America" that Muslims were not only in the Americas before Columbus arrived, but very active there as well. Remnants of mosques found in America and today over 500 city names in America were named after the Muslims. What happened to them?

what do you think of those, where the guy goes from being a pig to a human, and the message is "be a man"?

this belongs in the politics section because it deals with "political correctness".

how do you think an ad where a dog turns into a woman and the message is "be a woman" would go over? just curious. would women find this offensive?

i happen to think that its a couples responsibility to use protection, not just the man or the woman's (or the pig and the dog's; however you want to look at it).

Make Florida vote again in a special election is the only thing I can think that would have been fair.

And don't say declare Gore the winner. Millions of people would be just as outradged that it wasn't Bush

If they had their way, there would be no guns, so the tiger would have never been shot. Then more people would have been injured or killed, and our tax money would have to pay their medical bills because of the Democrat's social heath care plans.

I started taking adderall about 2 years ago because of Chronic fatigue, and I smoked cigarettes, which make you tired. I've taken it ever since just because it gets me up and going every day and because I smoked and it countered the tiredness I got from smoking, but I quit smoking and I'm getting a lot more energy now. If I go off of the adderall, can I join the army? It's not for ADHD, and that should make a difference, shouldn't it? I had quit taking it for about 2 months, a year or so back, but then went back on it. Can I still join? Would I need to be off of it for a year, even though I was taking it to counter the tiredness from smoking? thank you.

Hi I am 23 yrs old & turn 24 yrs next year in summer. Well I've been into reading military books since I was 12 yrs old & thats how I got into it. I've been working at a restaurant for 3 yrs now & I want to be somebody & do something in my life. My cousin he served in the US Navy & he didn't like it. But, he said he learn allot. My grandpa he served in the USAF & he like it. He even bought WW2 plain. Anyways, he told me the US Coast Guard is good & interesting. I do like the water but, I do NOT want to be a sailor & I want to be a food soldier. I am not perfect & confident of myself.

Which branch in my looking for? Marines? I do not care about boot camp or money. What is good for me? If I do not join the military, would I regret it later?

Does the army look into your medical history when you join the army, or do they just simply go off what you tell them? Do they ask for medical records from your doctor, or what?
