It's offensive, and it violate the secular principles our forefathers advocated...not to mention...yeah, unconstitutional. Really though, is it up to invididual parents to sue the school? What can a person who isn't a student or related to a student do other than write your darn Congressmen.

Would they have to get a business liscence like everyone else? Just curious to see if the government has tried waiving some regulations to give folks a hand up.

In 1966 the US government purchased steel from Communist China to build facilities in Vietnam.

Also in 1966 Dow Chemical purchased millions of tons of Magnesium (for aircraft parts etc.) from the USSR...you know the "commies".

Also that year the US government purchased hundreds of thousands of tons of bagged concrete (for construction in South Vietnam)...from NORTH VIETNAM.

This is according to articles in the Washington Post.

Guess who the main contractor (no bid contracts of course) for construction in South Vietnam was...ever heard of KELLOG-BROWN and ROOT aka KBR? Yes the one in the same KBR doing all the construction in Iraq now.

So exactly who were we fighting in Vietnam?

Or was it just a big farce to suck money out of Americans pockets into the elitists pockets that still profit from war?

So we have to "fight them there so we don't have to fight them here"? Yeah they said that during Vietnam too!

No wonder PT Barnum loved this country so much.

In 1935 when social security was set up, the average life expectancy was 61.7, and SS benefit was paid to those who retired at age 65. Shouldn't we either raise the retirement age to 81.2 (3.3 years past current life expectancy), or drop the net benefit? Or should we allow the federal government experience the same horrific, and departmentally crippling effects that have already been experienced by small American city's from the same paradigm with relation to their police and fire departments?

Lastly, in 1935 the first canned beer was produced, is it logical for me to levy a suit against Anheiser Busch because the can of Bud Light I just drank did not keep me drunk 20.7% longer than it would have made my great grand father?

I wonder why politicians don't seek people like Mahammad Ali, Kareem Abdul-Jabar and Ahmad Rashad to help show Americans that not all people of this religious background intend to bring their ideas to the world with violence and terroristic type activities. Many people stereotype others that they dont know personally or havent seen in American pop culture. But if some of the well known people of the Islamic Faith would try to teach and inform America to who they are and what their Faith is based on maybe some people that have been ignorant to what the Islamic faith is all about.

No one said the kids have to pray, they can meditate or do nothing at all

Where is the harm? That someone MIGHT pray? Oh, the horrors!

With kids killing each other and gangs and drugs the ACLU surely has bigger fish to fry, or one would hope

There's something I just don't understand. Singers, songwriters, actors, directors, etc. get paid mad money to shake their fanny in front of people or run around on a movie set. Yet military, cops, firefighters, teachers and even those in the medical field, in comparison, make crap. My father works for the Sheriff's office as a sergeant and he has 2 other jobs just so we can make the bills and have food to eat. We don't spend our money frivolously, we live comfortably. But he works 6-7 day a week shifts and we hardly ever see him. My uncle is a firefighter, and it's the same for him. Of course, we all know how bad the money is for teachers. I am going to be a nurse, and I know I'll make pretty good money....but my question is, why do the people who entertain us make more than those that teach the next generation and keep us safe and healthy? It seems like America values entertainment over safety, health, and education. Do you agree? If not, please tell me why. I want to know.

Capitalism is on a bell curve. Capitalism will never thrive under high income equality. Capitalism will never thrive in a society overly concerned with the environment. Capitalism will never thrive if people stop their natural want for more of something or a bigger and better version of something.

The less we reign in capitalism, the more this country will develop, and the better it eventually will be for everyone... For example, tax the rich less and they will be motivated to earn more, and this smaller tax on their increased income will eventually result in a larger sum of collected tax money than if you taxed them more but on an income that they would have less incentive to increase.

Note that my statements are not contradictory. Growing capitalism will create growing ineqaulity, but those at the bottom will still see a change for the better over what they previously had... Although they will be even further from the top as a whole.

How accurate? Honest answers.

If you are a government employee here to influence public opinion, say something about "tin foil hats" or "staying on meds" or just say "no".

The reason I asked this is because whenever a question is asked about something that is politically incorrect, there's a flurry of answers involving "tin foil hats" and "stay on your meds".

The ridicule is always way more intense than the question would ilicit in polite society.

It just "feels" like there's an overt effort to steer people's opinion.

S Your thoughts on a national ID Card.?
I understand that people are against a federal ID card for all U.S. Citizens. However ever what would be the difference between having a federal ID Card as opposed to the state ID card you NEED now to do anything, Such as getting a job, driving a car getting a bank account etc. I guess my point is why protest against something you preety much already have just with the state your living in and the feds still have the info on you that way.

From the outside looking in, the US economy is booming and thriving...everything looks rosie and looks bright in the US garden...according to SkyNews which is part of the Fox network...
It would be absolutely impossible to be booming when you consider the NZ dollar is at approximately 81/82 cents to the US dollar..
For those who do not know, New Zealand is a very small, two-island country on the Eastern edge of Australia and produces a lot of wool & sheep related products..
I lived there for 12 months and it is a cold depressing place with not much going on at all, and their main revenue source is from tourism in the peak summer months of November through to February.
How can they be at such a high conversion rate, when their economy is weak, yet the US is allegedly 'booming?' Or is that just what the US government want the outisde world to think so that we can all live like Bush's America and again, justify protecting 'our way of life?'
