Some politicians and members of the conservative media have accused John Stewart and the Daily Show of discouraging people, especially young people, from being involved in the political process. Do you think that's accurate or not? And would you consider yourself a regular viewer of the show, an occasional viewer or a non-viewer, etc.

And if they do, do you think they laugh their tail ends off at it?

Or are your opinions just a combination of a repeating what other people say in in articles and on the news? Maybe something you heard from someone you know? How can you choose a side. Basically, politcal parties and candidates seem similar. The only difference seems to be tax breaks for the wealthy, and smaller issues.

Is there any reason why homosexuals should not be allowed to marry that isn't based on Biblical teachings or personal bias? Every group, race, religion, and gender in this country has been discriminated against at some point in history. As recently as 1965, there were active laws in the U.S. prohibiting interracial marriage. How is this different, and why do we still allow it to happen?

just because "liberals" complain about something someone says... it doesn't mean that we think they shouldn't be able to say it...

it's really not that complicated, but many of you seem to have a lot of trouble grasping this idea...

unlike many of you guys... we don't think that everything we don't like should be outlawed... we simply think it's wrong, but you should still be able to say it...

why do they seem to have trouble with this?

You call us "zionist Pigs", "Thugs", "Bullies", "World Domination Wannabes". You ask why you shouldn't have Nuclear weapons while we can.

The answer is quite simple. WE EARNED OUR RIGHT!!!

It is Americans that have fought and died all over the world so that ungrateful morons like you can have the right to get on here and post trash.

American blood has been shed on nearly every Continent protecting not only our freedoms but yours as well.

One of these days your country is going to be in deep and you will be crying, "Where are the Americans?" we need your help!

And we will be just sitting back saying, "So sorry, but we are tired of spilling our world dominating, bullying, Zionist blood for all you ungrateful, whining, piss ant, worthless fools!"

"Now it is time to wake up and fin for your own lazy Arss!"

And to think, this country is made up of every nationality and every religion on this planet and the extremist like you still whine and complain. Go figure!

I read the following:

"Yes the US will collapse from within eventually and here's why...So long as we have Mexican-Americans, African-Americans, Asian-Americans, etc. we have factions and until they can get past their heritage and acknowledge that we are just American I can see where these factions may/might end up conflicting and possibly trying to gain control. If that infighting were to occur the USA would eventually collapse under it's own weight of diversity."

Will someone please, please explain this answer to me? I am really confused. Listed below are 3 of my concerns.
1. "So long as we have..." - Is this a veiled suggestion that certain people should start looking for a new home?
2. "...trying to gain control" - I thought the United States was governed by the people.
3. "We are just American." - Who are the "We"?... Teaching history is teaching heritage? Whose heritage should we learn?

Have I just missed the point? Please, I need to understand.

Thanks

It seems to me that while all the politicians have such good intentions. the moment they get into office their intentions go out the window.

it becomes all about scoring points off the other team, rather than about the country and its needs. they forget that its not them and their interestes we voted in, its their ability to correct and better the country for the whole population.

if you sit and watch the parliment coverage on Sky, its like watching a school play ground. He said, shes said, they said; its not my fault it's you; you started it ..... blah-blah-blah.

the seem to talk endlessly about things that are already happening; discuss things that have already taken place; ***** and whine about each other ........ not once have i ever seen them resolve a single issue.

Water; got it wrong! Rail; got it wrong! Pensions; got it wrong! Iraq; got it wrong! Unemplyment; got it wrong!

Sack the lot and lets start again with some real people, from real streets, with real jobs

hint: This President also announced that no American city was targeted any longer by nuclear weapons. A White lie, for the photo opp, as he was talking about the Russians not the Chinese who had 300 ICBMs pointed at America at that very moment.
