Other - Politics & Government - October 2007

...we pay the best professional athletes as much as a brain doctor's salary, instead of 20 times his salary, and give the owners a certain amount of profit to be gained. Therefore, all the money they make off of US, the fans, could be given to the government so we won't be in debt for the next 100 years? Do you think the athletes would go on strike or realize it's for a good cause and continue playing? I know it's just hypothetical, but could this somehow work?

"This weekend, I attended and spoke at the Second Amendment Foundation’s annual Gun Rights Policy Conference, which was held at a convention center in northern Kentucky, a few miles away from Cincinnati. What I saw and heard there changed my mind about the viability of Ron Paul’s presidential candidacy; Paul is going to far outperform the expectations laid out for him."

That was in the 70's and we as anation were shocked.

Now lets Fast Forward:

Bill Clinton has oral in the oval office with an intern pretty much ruining her career and everyone says he's a great guy.

What happened to our country?

that when I call some business or call to ask a question to state or federal agency, I seem to talk to a person who can't speak english? This happens to alot of people I know. You can barely understand them. Why can't they hire people who speak english clearly?

Mitt Romney is running for President, and it seems like THE issue is that he's LDS (aka a member of The Church of Jesus-Christ of Latter-Day Saints).

In recent years there have been Mormons representing California, Utah, Arizona, Nevada,Oklahoma, Michigan, Massachusetts, Oregon, and New Mexico in Washington DC as senators or congressmen. They have also held numerous national positions. They've been liberal and conservative. Republican and Democrat.

So why are people suddenly up in arms about having a Mormon as President? We've had a Jehovah's Witness President....did he screw everything up? Have the Mormons in Washington now screwed everything up?

Mormonism is the 4th largest Christian denomination in the USA.

So.....why get all uppity NOW over a Mormon in DC???

I be raising other peoples children and providing them health care and a $5000.00 Baby Bond and now I will be paying for peoples retirement as well. Should I just quit work and go on the dole now? How is this mad woman in the lead in the Presidential Race?

From my own perspective as a socialist, I see wealthy liberals as "bread and circuses" capitalists – people who think that throwing a few social programs out there will keep people loyal to the capitalist system.
Regular folks who are "liberals" are people hoping to benefit from some of the programs.
I see wealthy conservatives as "shut up and get back to work or I’ll whip you harder" capitalists – people who think that giving anything to the lower classes is just encouraging them to ask for more and endangers the capitalist system.
Regular folks who are "conservatives" are people tired of paying for the bread and circuses.
But both liberals and conservatives are for preserving the system – they just have different ways of going about it.

CAN ANY LIBERALS OR CONSERVATIVES NAME ANY THINGS THAT THEY THINK BOTH TYPES SHARE?

What would we see hapen if Troops were to capture Osama tomorrow? What would happen in the days, weeks and months to follow?
There is no doubt among Americans that he dosnt deserve a trial. But none the less, we wont foresake our values by denying it to him.
Under what jurisdiction would he be processed? Military tribunal? NYC Courts? Fed courts? Or Intl courts? (ICJ)
Also what forms of punishment would he be facing?

The democrats and the Republicans were both given the same right to start a public talk show that had to be self supported. The democrats were unable to fund theirs because like everything else they do, they ran it broke, the Republicans ran their like a business and it is doing well, It is getting the truth out there and telling the people all of the sneaky things that our Senate is doing. Now Nancy Pelosi, and a few of her cronies, want to stop conservative radio from being produced and they are trying to force they to give the democrats equal time. They are also trying to take away each Radio owners rights to air any of the conservative messages. I believe this infringes on our freedom of speech, do you? Shoulden't we stop the Democrats from doing this? How will we ever find out the trut if they extinguish talk radio?

ok. so my close friend and I have worked for the company abercrombie and fitch for almost two years, yeah the one that the guys were taking pictures of girls, well anywho, so it happens to be that our managers are getting a little too comfortable at work and use really foul language when telling us what to work on, I had told them about it before that I dont like the way they talk to me but nothing ever changes, and if it does it gets worst. well this past saturday while working my friend was talking to another co worker and when one of the managers grabbed her behind and she turned around and hit him.

well she begins to feel more uncomfortable so decides to ask to go home and he said no, so she just grabs her stuff and leaves.

what can she do about this?
