I just visited mexico and I was appalled by the fact that it is indeed a 3rd world country. I grew up in one so i know one when i see it. How can a country be so proximal to the united states and still be a third world country? Some of the answers i got was that mexico adopted the spanish non-democratic govt ideals while the united states adopted the british govt for the people ideals. But it can't be that simple. After all spain is not a third world country and alot of other countries colonized by the british are 3rd world.
I have noticed that one thing that prospering country have over 3rd world countries is the idea of rights of the common citizen to protest and cause change in the govt policies. For ex, in texas, when it was still a mexican territory inhabited by some americans, mexicans and native americans, it was the americans (with the democratic mind set) that protested the influence and control of the mexican govt.
What do you think?

It is clear that the earth is warming, that is not questioned by anyone. But I hear that people don't accept the science which shows humans are playing a part in the warming. So what part of the science is disputed?

1. Greenhouse gases radiate heat. The more greenhouse gases, the more heat is emitted to earth, thus the temperature rises.

2. Humans produce greenhouse gases through unnatural means (i.e. burning fossil fuels)

And don't give me any circumstantial evidence that doesn't have to do with these two scientific points. For example, people say the other planets are also getting hotter. Fine, all that points to is that some of our warming might also be caused by the sun. But this question is meant to deal with the specific science that suggests humans are contributing to global warming.

Scotland: Doctors forbidden to eat at their desks to avoid offending Muslims fasting during Ramadan

DOCTORS and health workers have been banned from eating lunch at their desks - in case it offends their Muslim colleagues.

Health chiefs believe the sight of food will upset Muslim workers when they are celebrating the religious festival Ramadan.

Just a quick civics lesson:we have a democratic form of government based on majority rule.
Why do Liberals insist upon using legislation and the judicial system to force their agenda upon the majority of Americans who oppose it?

What's the point now of having it? I do think there is a conspiracy to make the white race as taboo as possible in America. There was an article in a local newspaper that said many corporations are trying to avoid hiring anybody white (even hispanics of Euro ancestory that look white) since many of their customers are non-white and don't feel comfortable dealing with white or "white-looking" people. Over 150 of the Fortune 500 companies admitted to this. However, the paper refused to mention the names due to "confidential agreements".

Its not that the housing market is in a slump, its all the people getting hurt by it. One of the republican arguments was that more Americans are becoming home owners and living the American dream. The mortgage companies, some of which were heavy contributors to republicans, put people into homes that they could not afford. Anyone with a brain would know that there would be a high foreclosure rate at some point. It was anticipated but ignored. You can't convince me that people did not know but there only concern was making money and the hell with what follows. This seems to be the way of things, especially with the greedy, single minded, short term gain republicans.

I just wondered, if this color scheme predated Karl Marx.
And where it came from, to me logically it should be the other way around.

am i crazy or missing something here ? who here honestly believes that fox news is not biased. democratic candidates wont even go on most of the shows. i'm not gonna argue on whether their politics are right or wrong i'm just asking why the claim to be neutral and balanced but lean so much to one side. on some show if you dont agree with them your mic might be cut off, you might be called names, or even shouted at.

during the build up to this war that was based on propaganda and fear anyone who opposed it was quickly labeled unamerican.
have we finally learned our lesson. or do we have to have a draft so we really think twice about going to. that way all the arm chair soldiers in the media will think twice about pumping the propaganda into our living rooms because their sons and daughters might be headed for war aswell.
