Other - Politics & Government - October 2006

Here's the situation: Through a very complicated process, I have become head of state of some minor country with a whole lot of resources and unused wealth. I open the borders to all really cool people, and start work on creating a utopia. What would you incorporate into a perfect country?

Here are some examples: I would make several years of military service mandatory for every able-bodied man, exceptions for those with religous compunctions about fighting. I would make higher education and training completely free for exceptional students and leaders. I would not try to industrialize the country completely, knowing that the earth can't support the industrializtion we already have for very long. I would by top-quality weapons and equipment from the US and train my military forces to all be top-notch super-commandos. And then I'd marry a beautiful native princess and retire.

What would you propose if you were a member on my cabinet? Best thought-out answer will win.

3.They are trying to out law smoking but what will they tax next?
4.They complain about the homeless but the majority of the homeless are mentally ill and due to a liberal,they got kicked out of mental institutions and released to the streets for no one to care for them.
5.They continually want to raises or impose more taxes to bring more people to the poverty level.
6.They are for free health care,housing and feeding of illegals which we as tax payers have to foot the bill.
7.Its acceptable when a liberal democrat is a racist but if a conservative makes a racist statement they want to hang him.Case in point:Howard Dean,Mayor Naygan,Robert Byrd,Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.
8.Its ok for the democratic party to have sex scandels and conservatives are making big issues out of nothing.

I understand what is meant by '1st world' and '3rd world' countries.
But I don't have a clear understanding of what the '2nd world' countries are, or where the're located.

President Bush Just said we won't leave Iraq until we have obtained complete victory, How does Bush think this is possible when Iraq is constantly being invaded by terrorists from Neighboring Countries. I am watching his speach right now...and to me it just doesn't seem possible to have a victory in a country like iraq. What do you guys think?

I'm not going to lie, he makes me nervous. I think if we had been paying more attention to North Korea instead of spending soooo much time in Iraq then we wouldn't be in such a wierd position. Their leader is crazy.

The entire poulation of one of the largest cities in America, Washington, DC, has no voting Congressmen or Senators to represent their issues. However, they are required to pay taxes (including the ones that support the Congress). This seems ridiculous to me. How about you?

why would a Republican black man be called an "Uncle Tom"?

In my view the Democratic policy of free money to people who don't want to work, just creates more people who do not want to work. Not wanting to work is bad for any race, not just the blacks. The Republican policy of less benefits plus policies that help job creation is good for the black race and all races.

I contend the true "Uncle Toms" are the blacks who tout the Democrat's policies as being good for blacks.

For the PC police, please substitute the words "African American" for the word "black" found above.

When Democrats take the House and maybe the Senate?

Since it's been asked of Democrats a lot, I'd like to hear the same question answered by Republicans.

I would prefer legit answers and not insults from either side.

But I don't trust that will happen.
