Many people don't believe in the official story of what happened on 9/11. I don't see the harm in reopening the investigation to try to answer some of the questions ignored by the 9/11 commission. The FBI should release the video tapes from the hotel and the gas station close to the Pentagon. Why hide this information? After 5 years it couldn't possibly jeprodize national security. Why were certian testimonys in the 911 investigations behind closed doors with no witnesses. Why were some testimonys ommitted in the official report? Come on you die hard Bush supporters what would it hurt???? More money was spent investigating Clintons sex life than on the 911 investigation.

I think they should have counted the rest of the ballets, or else because of all the erros there should have been a revote.

Aren't controversial topics exciting to talk about? Why are people so afraid of confrontation? Are they worried that someone with a different opinion might convince them to change their mind?

I think it's educational to talk about these subjects. You learn a lot from other people ~ and you learn alot about them.

Why do some people feel the need to tell everyone else how to live their lives? Why do they care if two gay people get married? Why do they care if a woman wants to get an abortion? Why do they care if someone wants to buy a pornographic movie or an adult toy?

Why can't they just live their own life the way they see fit ~ teach their own children to live that way, and let other people choose for themselves?

I don't understand the patriotism to an island territory of the United States. I don't see the flags of the other U.S. territories such as: American Samoa, Guam, Marianas Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

All wealth emanates from natural resources (minerals/fossil fuels, arable land, forestry, crops. wildlife, water resources/fisheries, human resources etc). All of africa's resources are extracted by the West for the West. This is the issue Bono etc should be tackling to make poverty history if they are really serious aboit making poverty history. Africa do not need the tied aid of 0.3% or 0.7%/ Let the WEST KEEP THEIR 0/7% and get out of Africa. How do we make the west get out? Now that's where we need the UN and all genuine progressives to join hands.

America has become a fascist state, exhibiting all defining characteristics of fascism: Powerful and Continuing Nationalism; Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights; Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause; Supremacy of the Military; Rampant Sexism; Controlled Mass Media; Obsession with National Security; Religion and Government are Intertwined; Corporate Power is Protected; Labor Power is Suppressed; Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts; Obsession with Crime and Punishment; Rampant Cronyism and Corruption; Fraudulent Elections. There exists in America the kind of political and cultural climate that existed in Germany that led to the rise to power of Adolph Hitler and the Nazi party. I wonder with ever-rising fear what will be the end-point? What will it take before we reverse the course that the neo-and religious conservatives have set us on? Will we see concentration camps? Secret police? Lynchings? A new Scopes trial? When will democracy and America return?

Caste basis reservations would have been good some 20-30 years ago when it directly reflected economic status. But now I dont think caste and financial status of an individual corelate. There are people of so called 'scehduled' and 'backward' castes, financially sound, and those beloging to the so called upper castes craving for daily bread. Does the goverment of India Not know this? Or is this just a vote bank gimmick?

why is it that a woman has the right to do what she wants to her body when it concerns abortion, but when she want a tubal to PREVENT pregnancy she no longer has the freedome to do what she wants to her body, unless she already has 2 kids??????is it just me, or does this make you think they would rather you kill a baby than make the wrong choice to steralize yourself?!

but they dont make you wait 30 days to get an abortion!that is a big decision too! only your choosing for someone else as well.
i have 4 kids, my sister is the one who does not want children, she is a virgin, getting married soon, shes researching birth control and we realised this point today.

They are forced to use this name (and can't use their flag) in the Olympics, Miss Universe contest, etc. They can't even use Republic of China, either. What is the international community that WEAK that they can't stand up for a place with it's own constitution, military, currency and democratic elections--a place that the PRC has no direct control over. What's wrong with everybody?? They let Palastine, Hong Kong, and Macau use their names and flags, and they aren't even actual countries.

Yes, for New Jersey residents who are among the highest taxed anywhere Jon "The Taxman" Corzine promised during his election campaign to bring tax relief, but having been elected has helped effect the largest tax increase in New Jersey history. Should he apologize and resign? Has he misled the NJ electorate in order to obtain his office as governor?

I have a neighbor that my family and her cant get along. Shes a vicous woman very angry. Always doing bad things yelling or whatever at us or our kids. She works for the IRS and every time she gets into an arguement with us she brings up our personal info about our taxes to everyone. My question is does she have the authority to be looking into our files and disclosing info to everyone just cuz she works there? What should I do? The IRS must not have enough work that their employees resort to geting bored and looking into the towns peoples records and telling info that is none of noones bussiness but that of the individual. Whould u agree?
