What could be the reason Smt. Sonia Gandhi, Congress and Marxist Parties trying to prevent Dr. APJ. Kalam to be the Next President of India against the wishes of millions of people in India ?

More than 70 % of people of One Billion population in India want Dr. Kalam to be re - elected as President again. He is perceived as a beacon of goodness and light among the chaoes and corruption prevailing in the politics where relatives and friends of political Supremos loot India like Gasni, for eg. the CBI assistance to Qutorotchi in Bofors case.

Are Sonia Gandhi, Congress Party and Marxist Party playing in as agents of Satan against goodness as indicated in a prophecy in Bible ? They are ruling this Great Country for the last 3 years.

The wackjob thinks the Bush Administration's refusal to have anything to do with Hamas was "criminal". This guy is so far off base he makes Harry "The Lip" Reid sound nuanced and coherent!

Well, Jimbo, you've got some REAL criminal acts you've never been held to account for so calling the kettle black really isn't gonna fly except among the 29 people you think of as your admirers. Good luck, moron, you're gonna need it although methinks it's really waaaayyyy too late for you.

Am i the only one that finds it hilarious whenever the ideologues on the left exploit religious morality as a compass for their political agenda, such as socialized health care programs, and Global Warming. i.e Michael Moore saying "we shouldn't really call it socialized medicine, we should call it Christianized Medicine". convenient.... this coming from a slanderer who dedicates his life to defame his own country by using misleading video editing and lies for his propaganda films that target the young, uninformed...and easily manipulated.I'd like to know what religious doctrine he reads himself to sleep at night that made him become so evangelical and Christ like... its probably the same doctrine that says that its "political incorrect" for a privately owned retailer to wish "Merry Christmas" to people... yes the selective Church of the left in its many forms... this is merely one example.. but im wondering if others feel the same way on this...

The anti-smokers have made it very clear that property rights do not exist when it comes to allowing smoking.

Now some anti-smokers are using property rights as an excuse to ban smoking in peoples own homes.

1) if property rights don't exist for one group why should they for another?

2) if its their building but the tenants home, should they be allowed to tell the tenant how to live?

3) Should their be a distinction between owning a building and owning a tenant?

Just curious.
With socialized health care
Virtually zero military - except for what America gives it.
Crumbling economy
And a stagnated population


With all that - plus much much more - I would like to know if Canadians feel inferior living next door to the Yanks?

What is it like living in the shadow of the U.S.?

I went to get my permit a while ago and when I got it, they said someone else used my Social Security Number to get their license. The lady told me the guy who stole it was from New Jersey, and I used to live in New Jersey so I know this wasn't a mistake and something was wrong. My mommy went to the Social Security Office and they checked on their computers. They said the only person that came up under my Social Security Number was me. So my question is was my Social Security Number stolen and how do I find out for sure? The lady at the permit place said yes, but the actual Social Security Office said no, I was the only one. Also, is there any way this guy can block his name from coming up on the Social Security Office's computers? Like are there any scams you can do to make sure you don't get caught? Sorry 4 all the questions, and thanks 4 your help! =)

We missed with Ross, but maybe Mike can make a real run! A 3rd party is what is really needed in American Politics. Let the house be democratic, the Senate be Rebublican and the President be an independent. It is a very bright aspect and with his platform we could do allot worse than President Micheal Bloomberg!

Heard on NBC tonight that Hillary's numbers with women include 33% who think she's not electable. Over 50% thinks she'll bring the same baggage to office as Bill Clinton did when he was in office. Her numbers with men are even worse.
If she does win the Democratic nomination (remember a lot less people vote in primaries than in general elections and a lot of them are diehards) will she be electable in 2008 or will anybody the Republican run be a shoo-in?

I tried to make a joke.
I tried to make them laugh.
I even tried some Irony
but then I made a gaff.

The gaff I made was very small
But Yahoo! would not flinch
In there enforcement of there laws
would not give me an inch

My question was removed
The public's answers too
I thought this was not possible
I thought this was not true

And so I did reply
to this error they had made
only for them to respond
with another very bad grade

This time it was an answer
an honest answer too
but it did not please the censors
Only they know what is true.

The keepers of all goodness
and of all knowledge too
caging up all dangerous ones
Like the keepers in a zoo

And so what will become
of Yahoo Answers now.
That they have crowned themselves
The heirs of Chairman Mao.

Perhaps they'll carry on forever
playing a political game
or perhaps one day they will look back
with embarrassment and shame.

fully and without bias. I see some of the most ridiculous answers posted in the politics section. It is obvious that many of the people here have jumped onto a bandwagon without really knowing what they are talking about. Why would you do this? It makes you look stupid in front of the people that are not ignorant and have done their homework on these issues.

Large teams of newly trained suicide bombers are being sent to the United States and Europe, according to evidence contained on a new videotape obtained by the Blotter on ABCNews.com.
Teams assigned to carry out attacks in the United States, Canada, Great Britain and Germany were introduced at an al Qaeda/Taliban training camp graduation ceremony held June 9.

A Pakistani journalist was invited to attend and take pictures as some 300 recruits, including boys as young as 12, were supposedly sent off on their suicide missions.

The tape shows Taliban military commander Mansoor Dadullah, whose brother was killed by the U.S. last month, introducing and congratulating each team as they stood.

"These Americans, Canadians, British and Germans come here to Afghanistan from faraway places," Dadullah says on the tape. "Why shouldn't we go after them?"
The leader of the team assigned to attack Great Britain spoke in English.
"So let me say something about why we are going, along

I'm attending a summer program at a medical center and they have us housed at a nearby college. While here, a t-storm occurred and my microwave & mini fridge got damaged (they don't work anymore) and my TV doesn't have any color now. I know its not the outlet b/c i've plugged my appliances into other jacks that do work and they still do not work. Shouldn't I get compensated for this or something? Should I contact the people that are over housing at the college or the people over the program? Thanks
