Other - Politics & Government - October 2006

Why are Government agencies so high and mighty they can never admit when they make a mistake.
I have a disability claim, that there was a problem with, and each time I talked to someone at disability, they said something different.
Well I finally found out what was wrong, but it is too late because it is past 20 days.
I just got the letter saying I was disqualified and they have the wrong dates on for me to go back to work.
I know I did not make the mistake, someone at their office probably entered the wrong dates, but they will never admit it.
I know they will give me a hard time.
Is anyone out there a government worker, can you please tell me why, when you become employed by the government, do you come completely heartless, and enjoy stressing people out and giving them a hard time.

I'm wondering about this because I'm watching a video from a Charlie Rose program, and in it, there is like two supreme court justices talking about how people should be informed about judges because if they don't know about them then they will lose legitamacy and people won't be confident in them. Anyway, if I didn't lose you my basic question is: what do you think about judges??

**Remember Judge Judy (on network TV) is by NO means a comparison to a Supreme Court Justice**
I'm sure they don't yell at the poor people in court...lol
I'm watching the video and Sandra Day O'Connor is so cute cause she's old and reminds me of my grandma (hehe)..

I keep hearing this rubbish being presented as PROOF that Bush's policies are effective because "there hasn't been a terrorist attack here since 9/11.

Well, applying that logic, I'd like to tell you about the snow prevention machine I invented last April. It's been in operation for SIX MONTHS now, and it hasn't snowed - Not one bit. So that means my snow prevention machine works.

Claiming that something hasn't happened (yet) is hardly proof of anything. Do you blind "patriots" (quotes = sarcasm) really stand by that argument?

Rice: I don't recall alert about attack By ANNE GEARAN, AP Diplomatic Writer
1 hour, 17 minutes ago

SHANNON, Ireland - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said she cannot recall then- CIA chief George Tenet warning her of an impending al-Qaida attack in the United States, as a new book claims he did two months before the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.

"What I am quite certain of is that I would remember if I was told, as this account apparently says, that there was about to be an attack in the United States, and the idea that I would somehow have ignored that I find incomprehensible," Rice said.

This forgetfulness happens way 2 many times!

It seems that political connections and pro bush, pro life are more important than experience when selecting people to rebuild Iraq.

Aren't you republicans embarrassed?

I already know the basic advantages of becoming a U.S citizen like voting, but can you add a little more to it.

If loose change is doctored footage why hasn't the film makers been sued too no end.. Its not like the people implicated cant afford a lawyer to clear they're slandered names. Also why would the maker (a vet and former supporter of the effort, of both Afghanistan and Iraq all of a sudden decide it was a lie, and shift his opinion, and make a non profit film simply asking you to watch and ask question's ? Oh and unless you have taken the time to watch the film don't answer please. Because you don't know what your passing judgement on..

why is it that we have to take a class and get certified to drive a car, but we can buy a gun and all we need is a beating heart and no criminal background. These school shootings are prime examples why psycho evaluations and courses should be completed before obtaining a gun. WHOS WITH ME?

Well I don't. But it appears that certain socialists in congress think it is okay to just steal your property. So I have to ask, will you continue to support the socialists who seek a totalitarian government, seek to destroy all of your FREEDOMS and to eliminate the constitution.

Look at this vote.

Condi would then be the President and she could appoint, say John McCain VP?

She would have two years to go. If she did a good job, she could run for President. She knows world leaders and maybe she could get the Republicans out of their jam.

That's much, much worse!!! So, don't excuse what he did away simply because you think it is OK to be gay. Also, I really don't think this should be politicized. Pedophile should be universally condemned regardless of your politics. I am a Republican and I think what he did was abhorent! He preys on kids and, yes, 16 is still a kid. Democrat or Republican, we should condemn this and anyone who knew about it and covered it up, regardless of who it was. We need to protect our kids! What are your thoughts on this? Do you agree? (I forgot that I hadn't asked a question.)

they "employ" for political motives? Just wondering why someone like Osama bin Laden, for example, praises and exalts the "martyrs" he uses, supports, etc., points out how virtuous these "martyrs" are , and points out how they will be rewarded in the next life. If this is the case and they believe such things, why don't more of the actual leaders of Islamic radicalism participate in such "martyrdom" acts instead of sending their followers to sacrifice themselves?
