In regards to the war between Lebanon and Israel, would you as an American be offended if someone told you that, "Israel and USA have been planning this attack for 5 years… in order for the American public not to focus on Iraq anymore". My Lebanese friend told me this and I am really offended. Am I wrong??

whinny, pandering, tools who act as though they have never worked in there life, I mean if you acted like that where you worked would you still have a job?

Stop worring about getting reelected and do something.

there's a debate between a member(s) of parliament, and instead of focusing on the argument, they indulge in childish and verbal abuse ie. sarcasm, ridicule, name calling, threats... and the issue is not appopriately attended to in a single seating because of the "circus".

One view of world peace that I have heard articulated is that it is not possible as long as there are people who do not desire it and wish to kill you. The logic follows that the only way to acheive world peace is to kill these people before they kill you, thus ridding the world of any violent elements. What do you think of this point of view?

Yes, if people say it it's because the country is in fact poor but I had no idea! Even my italian cousins have been telling me this.
Why is Italy a ''poor'' country- list the reasons
Does it have to do with the government there? Is it corrupt

Thanks

I know a lot of people that are doing very well off... but they came from a very upper middle class/wealthy background with many, many, many advantages over the kids where I grew up... a poor neighborhood...

these people who have grown up in luxury talk about how the poor are just lazy... yet they don't know about poverty or even what manual labor and hard work are...

they had parents that supported their education... paid for all the little extras and extra classes... gave them a car... ENCOURAGED them to read and learn... had two parents in a loving household with stability...

and these people complain about the little things in their life, like if they don't have enough money for the "newest cell phone" for a few weeks... because they aren't getting that check from their parents for two weeks...

then they sit and talk about how the poor are lazy...

even when many poor people have two jobs... and they work part time?

they have no clue how hard it is to be poor...

I know that there are so many political and social issues in the U.S. Sometimes we all want something one way or the other, and sometimes we feel like the government is taking our rights and freedoms away, even though we live in a highly stable democratic republic country.

But how many of you honestly look at many of the other nations in the world and say to yourselves, "better here, than there"?

If not, then why?

"Is the United States Bankrupt?" by Laurence J. Kotlikoff

http://research.stlouisfed.org/publications/review/06/07/Kotlikoff.pdf#search='will%20the%20united%20states%20go%20bankrupt'

is a recent article published in the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Review, July/August 2006 issue.

The author concludes that countries can go broke, and that the United States has been staving off bankruptcy with it's foreign trade policy, but that it is just a matter of time. He proposes that radical reform of U.S. fiscal institutions is essential to secure the nation's economic future.

I would like to find out what you believe is the best course for the United States. Consider how social, political and economic foreign policies tie into this. How, for example, do you weigh this issue with our continuing social, security, and world issues and the possible loss of soverignity (Security and Prosperity Partnership Of North America/ http://spp.gov )? What is the comprehensive solution?

He's mentioned it several times and now there's been mention of letting him serve a third term to "straighten out this mess Bill Clinton got us into".
Would you "lay down" for this , too?
