Government - November 2007

how they came to power, how they manipulated the german people and how what they did to crush internal opposition and political opponents. Can you give a few things that nazis did that made them evil in your eyes, besides of course genocide...since we all know that is evil already.

India was never bombed with an atom bomb, but the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed with the world's first atomic bombs.
Today both the cities are far, far better than Delhi or Bombay or any other Indian city. I mean in less than 60 years time the Japanese could rebuilt their cities to the world class level, but Indians couldn't. Does that mean the Indians are inferior and they cannot build a world class city?
I've seen both Delhi and Tokyo. Delhi's population is less than half of Tokyo, but still in Tokyo there is no chaos and disorder. People get on and off the buses and metros with patience. Pedestrians are also respected. No littering or spitting on roads, and people in this world class megapolis and one of the the major financial centers(along with New York and London) don't take pride in speaking in English. Japanese is everyehere and still its a major financial center. And in Delhi everything is oppostie.
So please tell me, are they superior to Indians?

Anyone who thinks national healthcare will work needs to go and sit in the social security office and get a new social security card. While there, imagine that all those people are waiting to see a doctor and that they are sick. Next, go to the passport office and pictue these as sick people trying to get to a doctor. Then, come back here and report what you've seen.

We pipe oil and gas across the country for thousands of miles. Some parts of the country are drowning in rain runoff while others are whithering with drought. What is so complex about establishing a series of large reservoirs and pump water from areas with too much to areas that have too little?

This question is not to offend anyone, but I want to ask some very serious questions about the future of India and Indians.
The British left the country more than 60 years ago, but this country still don't have a truly world class city. About 79.9% people are living on less than 2$ per day per person. 47% children born in India are malnourished, and this figure is even worse than the sub saharan African countries.
Almost the whole country is a war zone. Terrorists, Naxalities, ULFAs and other N-E terror outfits are targeting the innocent citizins and they can target everywhere.
Still 60% of Indians don't have sanitation facilities.
More than half of the country is without electricity connections (and even those who have connections are not getting 24 hour supply).
Farmers still commit suicides, people still need to learn THE foreign language to get jobs as in the British period.
So I want to ask what do the Indians hope for the future?
Will India exist as a one united country?

Why doesn't the government simply restrict manufacturers to limit the top speed of cars if their intention is truly to protect us? Why do they put a restriction on us instead? Could it be because they know that people would be tempted and they would just get the revenue from it.

Why do they set the speed limit to 100k/h when they know and can actually see that pretty much everyone on the hwy (including them) drives at 120 km/h with a max of 140km/h? is it also for revenue?
If they raise the speed limit that much, things would remain pretty much the same on the hwy because regardless of what the speed limit is, the majority of people would still drive at 120km/h with a max of 130/140km/h.

Are we a democracy? We say we spread it, but is the goverment we are a part of a democracy?

I say no, a democracy gives more power to the people, were a republic, if we were a democracy, the votes we give every 4 years for president would mean something, not jsut be a popularity contest that means jack.

What are your views, are we a democracy, a republic, what are your views on this topic?

No global warming controls have been set up by most of the major nations, No one cares that we(The US) intend to nuke two opposing countries (Iran, North Korea), Our government is unwilling to allow Hydrogen or electric cars to be accesible to mainstream america, And we (The US) happily invade countries knowing full well we are adding to the apocalyptic hatred the muslim extremists believe in.

I got mine 48 hours ago.

I asked why 48 hours ago.

I have checked to see if I have any bill owing for that amount. I don't thanks to the Provence of BC for paying all my hospital bills for me.

Wow, someone must think that $20,000.00 will make me go away. The way I have been treated they are short several decimal points.

I do not blame the Minister I am pointing my fingers at the unionized management and staff, that can never be fired and may at one time been productive at one time but have become dead-wood and are no longer there no longer to help the people they serve but for the money!

I have letters saying everything has been approved and paid for with the exception of my Health Canada Medication, because it has no HC, DIN#.

So I got my Government of Canada Cheque, Have you got yours?

For instance after 9/11 DHS tried to set up a program that had neighbors turning in neighbors. So, do you think that this could be another way of conditioning us to do something that we normally would never do, unless someone was in danger of being hurt?

Normally people don't turn in those who they don't agree with.

Comments? Thoughts?

This is a serious question, so please no foil hat comments.

admission of there complete and total failure to do their jobs?

As I understand it, it is the government's responsibility to educate the mind and body of the population. It is the church's responsibility to safegaurd the morals and educate the spirit.

By forcing their ideas into a public realm where people are required to be, are they in effect forcing people to buy what they don't chose to buy?

If the churches are doing their jobs, then why is our nation so morally bankrupt?

I am genuinely curious, so please be honest.

Does anybody know that modern liberals in the United States are absolutely not liberals?

A liberal is a rational person who believes in natural rights and a free economy.

A liberal is one who would advocate less government control of people's income, business ventures, reproduction and even smoking one thing or another.

Liberty is a natural state. Government does not provide liberty. Government is a necessary evil that should be prevented from taking liberty willy-nilly.

Many Republicans prefer to forfeit liberty to make the country look and act in ways they are comfortable with and Democrats, generally mislabeled as 'liberals', are downright abusive of the natural rights of citizens, except when it comes to abortion or pot.

Had anybody heard of classical liberals before and does anybody else cringe when they hear anti-liberty zealots referred to as 'liberals'?

Do we as citizens have an avenue to pursue such as a petition drive? She does NOT have our security as a priority. She appears bent on weakening our country in any way possible.

We cannot count on our Representatives or Senators to work for us anymore. I am not even sure how they know what we want anymore. They are to busy talking to each other. You send them an email or letter and they have a staff person answer it with a pre-written reply so the Rep or Senator is very likely sheilded from our thoughts and requests anyway. They are a very expensive yet worthless club that eats lunch together. The lunchroom being the only place where non partisanship is honored with equal enthusiasm.

Do we have any recourse to pursue this?

many people on this forum have talked about the military's commitment to it's mission. many conservatives have used this rationale to conclude that our military is behind it's leaders. i think that the desertion rate may be an indicator of a growing disenchantment with the administration's unyielding plans. perhaps, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
