Met a guy tonight & as we talked I was sure he was a rightwing bigot republican. He met all the stereotypes.. drinking, saying he was proud to be a redneck, rough around the edges, tough guy image, tattoos etc..

Blew my mind when I finally brought it up and he said, "I'm a democrat. I'm a union man."

I decided to inquire more & he impressed me completely. He went on to say how he was a Gulf War veteran & he believed in minding his own business when it comes to what other ppl do. He talked about Bush and the war in a way that sounded just .. confused at what we are doing.

Got to admit that I DO stereotype. The more this guy talked, he was like.. this really tough man but very deep in his beliefs of the right to others. He even spoke in like a John Wayne manner... u know blunt and in the abstract tough way.

All I could think about was two things, "I've fallen for the stereotyping too" and "Geez I wish these type of southern men would come out of the woodwork"

Please no Bush-Bashing on this question. We hear all about the bad news daily over and over again. Can I get some good news? I know that although he is not the best President of all, but he has done some positive things and I would like to hear from you about it.

In developing countries we observe in general that the corruption has entered in politics to some extent. This is highly alarming and going to eat the economy of such countries. We must find global ways to see that corrupt people are shown way out and save the poor population of the third world.

WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court rebuked President Bush and his anti-terror policies Thursday, ruling that his plan to try Guantanamo Bay detainees in military tribunals violates U.S. and international law.

ADVERTISEMENT

The president and congressional Republicans immediately pledged to work on a new strategy for special trials for some of the hundreds of suspected al-Qaida and Taliban operatives rounded up in Afghanistan, Pakistan and other countries.

Bush said the ruling "won't cause killers to be put out on the street."

The court declared 5-3 that the president's attempt to resurrect a type of military trial last used in the aftermath of World War II violates U.S. military law and the Geneva conventions that set international standards for dealing with people captured in armed conflicts.

The ruling focused on Salim Ahmed Hamdan, a one-time driver for Osama bin Laden who has spent four years in the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Why is it that in the rest of the world people still talk about her?
Argentina was the 7th country in the world when she and her infamous husband took the government and they left the country extremely poor after a few years of disgovernment.
All they did was destroy working culture to make people lazy and thinking that they could live without working, just on what the State could provide them.
By the way, she used to be a prostitute (this is a fact).
She was what Hugo Chavez is now.

Union protection is slowly fading. Pensions and guaranteed retirement plans are fading away. Healthcare security is fading when you get old after spending your whole life working/participating to better this country.

Why can't we pay for these things anymore? Our government says they can't afford entitlements any longer? Why can we afford to liberate another country while losing things that keep our country great.... taking care of ppl who have spent their lives workning to better this country?

If I'm the first house, can't I be1 Oak Street? Why do the numbers go so high and seem so unrelated to the number of houses on the street? And why am I 12867 but my next door neighbor is 12871? Where did 12869 go? What is the Post Office thinking?

To hold more than 100 prisoners at Guantanamo Bay without charging them, without giving them proper representation, without giving them any damn thing? WTF???

So far, it's only produced people who have trouble telling the truth (they think it's cute to call the lies, "tall tales"). Three presidents who's main claim to fame is sending our brave young men to senseless wars.
Personally, I've had it with Texas. I say give it to Bush's buddy, Vinny Fox.

My boyfriend just graduated with a ba in international relations and a minor in conflict resolution. he wants to get to d.c. and move on with his career and start his "international always on the plane, never at home life" lol. but this scares me not because he'll be gone a lot cuz im in school for medical school and ill be quite busy myself. but im scared because of the way things are in the world. is it safe? i know him. if he smells conspiracy, he wants to know everything about it and make it right....that scares me. he also wanted to get into sports management which he'd be great at too, so he's torn between the two. should i relax about the int'l relations?

Are we turning soft or are we protecting the "rights" of foreign nationals picked up on the battlefield? It is the executive branch's job among other things to direct operations that protect this country from overthrow. Are we tying their hands by this decision? Has the Supreme Court overgrown their britches or is this a legitimate area they are supposed to influence? Do they really believe they are upholding the law or are they grabbing more power than was originally intended for them? Maybe like many other cases they should have said they did not know and suggest the congress do their jobs by legislating before they feel the need to do so themselves.

My boyfriend and I got in a fight, and the charges against him are serious felonies, including kidnapping, assault, aggravated burglury, and menacing. I made a statement of what happened to the police and they decided on what the charges should be. I was not aware of how serious these things were and how much time he could get in prison. Since he's been in jail, i have reconsidered my statement and would like him to be released. he has not gone to court yet, but the prosecutor told me there is nothing i can do until we go to court. I dont know what to do in the mean time to help get him released and work on dropping the charges. I have written another statement to the prosecutor describing my changed feelings, but i do not want the court to think that i lied to them in any way. I do not want to incriminate myself.
