Why would you decide to believe something when there are ways to find out the truth and Know something. When there's not a way to find the truth, then why jump to conclusions and not find a way to find the truth? Should ever be allowed to base an argument on belief? Belief that you are strong is not going to win an arm wrestling competition. You have to qualify to compete, why shouldn't you have to qualify to take part in making decisions.

Why do you choose to keep beliefs? If they have anything to do with feeling safe or happy, then that's ok. But stay out of debates and decision making with them.

Opinions on the other hand can sometimes be justified. But that's not to be confused with "It's my opinion that it will snow" when in fact it's your belief... not your opinion. Opinions are only opinions when based on experience and knowledge that's been put together to come up with a conclusion.

I would be willing to do one night in jail to get out of jury duty, I don't believe in the justice system and I want no part of it. I have never known ANYONE who has gone to jail for not answering to jury duty despite how threatening they make it sound. What's the worst that can happen? Thanks!

I have been called for Jury duty, but I booked a trip two months ago at a Disney Resort and the day I report for jury duty is the same day I will be on vacation. My vacation would be 4 days long, and it is in two weeks. I got a call for jury duty in the mail today, is there anyway I can get out of it?

As a resident of Vermont I opposed the civil union law that was passed in 2000, and now oppose the gay marriage legislation that is in the early stages of it's public review. There is a very well organized and vocal minority in our state that is pushing for it's passage, but the majority of residents are opposed to it. The legislature is currently conducting public meetings, and has convened a panel to administrate and review the process, but both the legislature itself and the review board are heavily, if not totally, pro-GM. I believe this is due to the politicians not wanting to commit political suicide and be labelled homophobic by accurately representing their constituents, and similarly the majority has been cowed into silence by the aforementioned vocal pro-GM minority. How does one effectively stand up and fight for their side when politically this seems to have become a foregone conclusion? I am asking respectfully, and for answers from those in similar situations.

I have been handing out alot of flyers, talking to people at events, and getting alot of hits on the website, but not many people are contacting me. I have alot of experience in getting people active from other organizations I have worked with, and I can't figure out why there is such a lack of interest in my group. I AM NOT LOOKING FOR BUISINESS OR TRAFFIC. I just need to know if there is anything that stands out when you look at our site as to why we arn't getting alot of feedback or interest. Equalitycoalitionnc.org. I would really like advice, opinions, and suggestions. Let me know what you think I could do better. Also, if you are in a group and know any stratigies that you wouldn't mind sharing, I would love to hear them! WHAT AM I DOING WRONG!?

I want to set up a voter registration booth at my college campus the day after tomorrow. How do i do this? Where can i get forms and what procedure should i follow to get students registered? any other ideas as to how i set up some kind of political awareness/voter registration booth??? thanks!

i don't think we will be able to have a computer at the booth as we don't have electricity outlets nor anyone who is willing to let us borrow their laptop for the cause.

I would like to ask this question in a general context, under the belief that the same people who run Washington also control and censor the media.

I will give a few examples.

1. The attacks of September 11TH was motivated by Americans foreign policy. It is also referred to as blow back.
We are desired to react emotionally therefore we are fed nonsense propaganda over and over about how much they hated our freedoms... ... ... We take no responsibility. Often those who speak about the truth are accused of lack of patriotism. Are we being told that critical thinking is unpatriotic?
2. Ron Paul was said to be talking about secret forces and conspiracy theories. In reality he was talking about factual organisations and plans and strategies that are being slowly implemented. Is he crazy for acknowledging the building block as history repeats?
3. The war in Iraq was presented to the American people with misinformation and deception.
