Hi. I know lots of people here have been harassed by the trolls who seem to be hellbent on getting answers censored/deleted. Its really becoming a menace. It seems that if your answer is not good enough for them, they'll get it deleted making this place look like a virtual dictatorship.

What steps do you think, should be taken to counter this troll menace?

I propose making fake accs like they do and reporting them and getting their answers deleted. What is your proposition?

The Best Answer will get 11 points. So lets get started.

I think it works somewhat but not always. It really hard for me to explain what I think. I dont really know how the system works in other countries either just the US. I know people are represented by a mayor or city council. they are rep. by the governor. they are rep. by a senator. and so on. to the point where the idea of what the person or people wanted is distorted or twisted around. Sometimes it gets through though. I cant accurately judge our political system as a whole because Im not a politician and dont think anybody else can. Unless, they have been apart of it and knows how things really are.Why does the president have to ask congress to do something all the time and vice versa. Shouldnt they be asking the people. I dont know. I support the government but dont always agree with whats going on. I would like express my opinions or ideas if I thought it would help or even get through. Whats your opinion on the matter?

Baba Mezia, 114b "The Jews are called human beings, but the non-Jews are not humans. They are beasts."
Jalkut Rubeni gadol 12b: "The souls of non-Jews come from impure spirits and are called pigs."
Zohar (I, 160a):"Rabbi Jehuda said to him [Rabbi Cezkia]: 'He is to be praised who is able to free himself from the enemies of Israel , and the just are much to be praised who get free from them and fight against them. 'Rabbi Chezkia asked, 'How must we fight against them?' Rabbi Jehuda said, 'By wise counsel thou shalt war against them' (Proverbs, ch. 24, 6). By what kind of war? The kind of war that every son of man must fight against his enemies, which Jacob used against Esau - by deceit and trickery whenever possible. They must be fought against without ceasing, until proper order be restored. Thus it is with satisfaction that I say we should free ourselves from them and rule over them."
Hadarine, 20, B; Schulchan 9ruch, Choszen Hamiszpat 348. "A Jew may do to a non-Jewess what he can do. He may treat her as he treats a piece of meat."

I heard from a friend who works in the DOD that the US has developed a time machine from the remnants of the Roswell alien spacecraft, and used pin ball machine parts.

Secret agents went back in time and provided critical technology to the Japanese so that they could cloak their ships and planes until they were right on top of battleship row in Pearl Harbor! Then the secret agents used forget-me-gas to erase the Japs memory after it was over, and took their stealth technology back with them to our time.

Since the Bush Administration is responsible for everything else that's gone bad, I figure it's true - they MUST be responsible for starting WWII.

What if a normal joe ran for president in 2008 or 2012, would you vote for someone that was not previously in politics?

Say the guy was just some businessman that cared about the way things are going and wants to help America become the country we know it can be! Safe, educated, free, and proud of everything their country does.

Who destroyed IRAQ? Who should fix Iraq? Does fixing means killing Iraqs the more? Is it easier to destroy than to fix? If that is the case, what was the BUSH guys thinking before they invaded Iraq? Deos withdrawal of American troop means fixing or further destruction? Can persistent war( rather than peaceful negotiation) fix Iraq?

That would be an impossible, ridiculous, and morally reprehensible thing to do, but your crime rate would go down.


From the illustrious Republican Bill Bennet:
"But I do know that it's true that if you wanted to reduce crime, you could -- if that were your sole purpose, you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down. That would be an impossible, ridiculous, and morally reprehensible thing to do, but your crime rate would go down. So these far-out, these far-reaching, extensive extrapolations are, I think, tricky."

Most presidents have pardoned politiical favorites probably to protect their own reputations. Why should the president have a right to pardon those who have been convicted by a jury of their peers? The message that goes out to Americans is one of failing morality and elitist priveledge. Why do our leaders continue to pursue and create the environments for our decline?

i say this because it seems many liberals assert their "superior" intelligence as always being right and should never be questioned...
many smart people make bad decision as well...bad decision making isn't only for the uneducated...
myself...i graduated from two colleges, speak two languages, Japanese and English...but i never assert nor equate intelligence to good decision making as many liberals do...

The polar caps on Mars are melting faster than our arctic ice.

The ice moons of Saturn are now pools of liquid water

There are freak hurricanes at the poles on Saturn

Something has increased the reflective light we see from Venus by 40%

Even pluto has seen an increased surface activity and atmospheric change over the last decade and Pluto is as far as you can get

No - if you ask me the Sun is increasing it's output and effecting all planets and not just the Earth

Man has not been around long enough to experience real planetary change from solar cycles and that cycle is what we are heading in to.

The facts are there, it how you manipulate those finding through ignorance that fools the masses.

Why haven't they mentioned the changes on the other planets

Why do they want these changes to be exclusively for Earth and Earth alone

What is the real agenda - a carbon tax because the Sun is heating up!

I am not buying in to it or paying it!

During Bush's reelection campaign in 2004 he stated:

"I support the removal of Thimerosal from vaccines on the childhood national vaccine schedule. During a second term as President, I will continue to support increased funding to support a wide variety of research initiatives aimed at seeking definitive causes and/or triggers of autism. It is important to note that while there are many possible theories about causes or triggers of autism, no one material has been definitely included or excluded."

President Bush is to veto a bill that would ban mercury in flu vaccines for children despite its known links to autism and other neurological disorders. The White House stated on Tuesday that President
Bush would veto the FY 2008 HHS-Labor-Education Appropriations Bill because of the cost and "objectionable provisions" such as a measure to ban the use of childhood flu vaccines that contain thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative.

Global warming is fake.

PROOF:

If the globe is supposed to heat up or whatever, why does it get cold in the winter? Also, 98.5% of all Scientists believe that global warming is a lie.

Every time anyone questions the Federal Income Tax law there is an instant slew of responses and attacks.

The answers just seems to immediate and filled with that typical tax jargin like "Article 26" and the "16th Amendment was ratified" but they never just show us the law.

Then you get that "Just quit paying and see what happens" crap

They can't show the law, but they sure like to throw around prison comments and stuff like "you just wait and see"

It really is quite disturbing

It is just to fishy if you ask me.
