This seems to me not fair to the people who dont support war or U.S. military. Would foreigners also be drafted or just Americans?

For example, by paying taxes, or voting, or working in office... do those count as giving back to one's nation? And I mean that a citizen must repay the government for the rights and privileges that the government gave to them in the first place. What are some other ways someone can give back to or support their government?

Ok, so many people come on here and complain how much they hate America and how "lovely", just and progressive everything is in other parts of the world.

My question is if you hate my country, why dont you just move away and start a new life in France or what ever other socialist country you wish we would model our government after?

I mean, seriously, if I hated a particular type of food, I would stop eating it. Why do you stay here and just bash us all that love our land to the core?

I know I want to be in a free and safe land. Thats why people from all over the world literally die to get here. I never hear the communist or socialist countries having imigration / alien problems.

I have never heard of the former USSR, E. Germany or the likes having to put up fences to keep people out. And how many people are lined up at the boarder of Mexico sneaking south at night?

Why if these cards are proving who you are does the British government resrve the right to change ANY information on this card?
Obviously if you have a change of address or it you have a marriage then information will have to be changed but are there anymore valid reasons

1. Police in Europe or the US use force to arrest a violent person from one of the many ‘minorities’ = Racist Cops! (Should we let them do what they like?)

2. One dares to criticise Israel = Anti Semitic! (Is Israel always right?)

3. Blacks call themselves n.gg.rs, (and call whites ‘honkies’ or worse) but when whites do it = Racists!
(Only Blacks have ‘freedom of speech'?)

4. Happy Christmas = Insulting other religions! (Okay. No more Ramadan, Yom Kippur, etc, either)

5. Christian countries insist on the practice of their cultures in their countries (i.e. the resistance to women covering themselves completely in public) = Insulting Islam! (When Muslim countries allow us to freely exercise our customs/beliefs in their societies, we could consider the idea of allowing them the same privileges in ours.)

Enough!

upsetting the foreign (white) rulling class of Britain does not bother him.

WASHINGTON -- President Bush tried and failed to fix Social Security's long-term finances with his own party in control of Congress. His determination to keep trying, even as Democrats take over, is fueling speculation that he is ready to meet their price for coming to the bargaining table: dropping his goal of letting workers create private retirement accounts.

While Democrats don't take over the House and Senate until January, already some in both parties are reading tea leaves for signs of administration flexibility, including in recent remarks by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten.

For Mr. Bush, private accounts are a way of reducing Social Security's future obligations, and central to his concept of an "ownership society" in which Americans rely less on government.

Democrats, along with the seniors group AARP, oppose personal accounts because they would initially require heavy government borrowing, and could leave future retirees at risk of market downturns.

Communism has always been labeled "anti-American", but why? What prevents a society from having both communism and democracy? Why do dictators thrive in communism? Why is capitalism considered democratic?
