Can we do ANYTHING past the point of "asking politely"? What if it was your son or daughter's life at stake?
Can we NOT keep a room cold?
Can we NOT keep someone awake?
Can we NOT make someone listen to lousy music?
Can we NOT allow someone to be interrogated by a woman EVEN if it is against their religious beliefs?

Well, it appears that the 'bottom of the bucket' part of the world is catching up with the west in terms of nuclear weapons.

Realistacly, What in YOUR opinion is best deserved to N korea ?

I personally believe a full scale invasion + disarmament is what is needed to certify there nuclear program is shut down.

They pose a threat to the western world, and if a 'soft touch' of sanctions are imposed, as aposed to military actions, then more hostile nations will surely follow suit, e.g. iran etc.

These are nations that have publicly declared they would like isreal for example, wiped off the face of the earth.

Nations that have stated further aggravation by America / the west shall be considered as an act of war.

As ive said N.Korea needs to be invaded in order to secure stability for the free world.

But realistically i doubt it will happen due to the fact its a Large populous Army, and has much more advanced weapons then our recent conquests had.

Discuss.

1. One to deny that the light bulb needs to be changed.

2. One to attack the patriotism of anyone who says the light bulb needs to
be changed.

3. One to blame Clinton for burning out the light bulb.

4. One to tell the nations of the world that they are either for changing
the light bulb or they are for darkness.

5. One to give a billion dollar no bid contract to Halliburton for a new
light bulb.

6. One to arrange a photograph of Bush dressed as a janitor standing on a
step ladder under a huge banner:' Light bulb change accomplished!"

7. One administration insider to resign and write about documenting in
detail how Bush was literally in the dark.

8. One to viciously smear number 7.

9 One surrogate to campaign on TV and at rallies on how George Bush has
had a strong light-bulb-changing policy all along.

10. And finally one to confuse the American people about the difference
between screwing a light bulb and screwing the country

11. Four hundred and sixty two: Twelve to investigate Clinton's involvement in the failure of the old bulb; twenty-three to deregulate the light bulb industry; sixteen to cut funding for alternative lighting R&D; thirty-four to cut the tax rate on light bulbs; fifty-three to design a block grant so the states can change the bulb; forty-one to talk with defense contractors about night-vision gear instead of light bulbs; and two hundred eighty-three to pass a law making it illegal to discuss naked bulbs (or screwing anything) on the Internet.

Sure it seems ok at first glance, but after actually thinking about it it doesn't really help anyone. Cause and effect: You raise your employees pay rate, you have to raise your product prices to compensate. So as they raise the minimum wage to match the cost of living, the cost of living increases making it all pointless. Right?

Also, for those of us who make above minimum wage, there is no plus side. Cost of living goes up, and we get no wage increase to balance things out. So while those making minimum wage continue to have to scrape by, those who were making more before take a hit to the wallet as the prices go up.

Am I missing something important here? I see so many political commercials about one person being praised for supporting the minimum wage increase, and those who don't are being shown in a negative manner. Opinions?

Because I'm sorry, I can't think of anything it's done accept put America further into debt and put an even bigger gap between the rich and the poor. And don't tell me that it's protected us from terrorists because that's a load of shitt!!! If we want to protect our country against terrorists then we need our soldiers here guarding our border and not off in some other country trying to change the way they run their government!!!

Movie stars and t.v stars and talk show hosts are out spewing their opinions about the government . They say some of the worst things about our politicians. Do you think they should be our leaders just because they are in the public eye?Some are very good actors but, I think that some of them don't have a brain in their head, and they are telling me if I don't agree with them, I am wrong? What do you think?

How come the people still believe that melodic, hypnotic voice that spews the same message of duplicity and innuendo all of these years ? I know I am not alone, I understand the heads of our governments are puppets, I acknowledge there are advisers who prefer to remain invisable from the masses. I also know the golden rule, the man with the gold makes the rules and changes them when he chooses. I understand that the banking system is the gold, too many of our population are now in their pay. They can be stopped, simply. The CONductor awaits the orchestra, what would happen if the orchestra refused to play the CONductor's CONcerto .....?

The American people are failing to recognize two vitally important issues: Saddam Hussein IS a Terrorist & the Iraq war was an extension of the first Gulf War.

After 9/11 President Bush said: If you harbor a terrorist or sponsor a terrorist, you are a terrorist! The American people applauded that concept. Saddam paid Palistinians to go bomb Israel

The liberals have gotten away with conveying that President Bush went to war in Iraq under false pretences: that Saddam had WMD's. Ignoring the fact that the world intelligence and leaders all agreed Saddam had them. The fact is, this was an extension of the first Gulf war because Saddam Hussein refused to comply to 15 U.N. resolutions pertaining to the first Gulf War.

It seems to me these two perceptions influence a lot of people's opinions of the war. This along with the realization that Iran is perpetuating the violence in Iraq and wants the destruction of Israel would make people know why Iraq is a stategic spot in the war.

In order to stay the course and be able to truly say "mission accomplished" and not have it be some PR spin. How many lives, how many years, and how much money are you willing to have the nation spend to say those words and have some meaning behind it? For example, if it took 8 more years, 5,400 more dead soldiers, 54,000 more maimed soldiers, and 14 trillion more dollars if that would be worth it. Or what numbers work for you?

I'm curious how many of you think that the world is messed up because it's run by men. Please minimize kneejerk responses motivated by past experiences with a bad boyfriend. I'm curious what you actually think. If I read pop culture right, then men in general are thought of as being basically as worthy of praise as Homer Simpson. But pop culture is often on the surface of society and not necessarily an indication of what's really on people's minds. I know there are a lot of false things that pop culture indicates about what I as a man apparently think and so I offer this survey in hopes to get insight into what you think.
