A participant invited users to use Google to search "great president". I did. The popular search engine lists the most prominent articles about the current "president" of the United States. Is anyone actually surprised at this?

Multiple people here today disdained the characterization of the U.S. as a democracy, prefering to call it a "republic". Are they learning that they aren't really fond of the whole voting thing, not really fond of democracy philosophically? Is this a new realization for them? (by the way, it is indeed called a "liberal democracy". There is such a thing, and the U.S. is one of 'em. Learn, conservative friends, learn! Internet search engines can get you this information very quickly, but can you withstand the awareness?)

should the U.S. pay to the African continent or should all the financial backing we have given in the past be enough?

Why do we as a society teach our children to not fight and walk away when they are faced with a problematic person? If "Liberals" are cowards for wanting to use other alternatives and not war as the first choice, then we as a society should stop teaching our kids that fighting is wrong and no matter what they should always throw punches first when confronted with a bully, even if the bully will beat them up.

If France never sold us the land, then the U.S. would not have to worry about it, and the French would be responsible for all the damages. Or, we could blame Jefferson for buying it.

This all makes about as much sense as blaming Bush.

If a conservative (one who openly despises liberalism) claims proudly that the United States is the greatest country in the world and criticizes "liberals" (espcially for liberal criticism of the U.S.) and liberalism, how does that same conservative cognitively reconcile the fact that the U.S. he or she loves is a "liberal democracy," VERY LIBERAL compared to most other nations, and this is indeed its heritage! How can a conservative really love the U.S. when the U.S. is historically the very thing the conservative hates: liberal?

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, then you're probably American.

If you laughed scornfully, then you're also American.

If you laughed gleefully, then you're British, Canadian, or Australian

If you laughed really hard, then you need psychiatric help.

Last time we checked, Jesus said "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God." That, and "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the Earth." God, Earth, Peacemakers, the Meek. Little details like that. Apparently, W. doesn't read the Bible much. So why does he use the Bible to alienate people?

Recently I saw a court ruling ordering US cigarette manufacturers to stop posting terms such as "light" or "low tar" on their product. Understanding this as an attempt to eliminate smoking in our society i am worried. Why has society and politics suddenly decided to regulate what products we can and cannot consume. From attacks on fast food to violent video games to smoking why has everything become someone elses fault. Do people not realize that as soon as you ban something like smoking it opens the door for other bans. I believe people should be allowed to make their own choices regarding their health and actions. Shouldn't we be allowed to enjoy the things that are legal and avalible to us without fear of regulation? They are my actions and i will accept the consequences and it is no ones choice but my own. Am i alone here?

Im 14 so pls forgive me if my argument is somewhat disjointed. I welcome your thoughts and opinions.

For all of you english majors out there, is it more important in a forum such as Yahoo!Answers to use proper english, or voice? Personally, I like to use voice...it is informal, and gets my point across...what do you think?

He came to our city two days ago, for a FUNDRAISER, not official state business. Yet, they shut down the interstate for about seven miles, from the airport to the hotel downtown where the fundraiser was taking place. They did the same when he left the fundraiser to go back to the airport. It snarled traffic all afternoon. Why is he allowed to do that for political business. It's understandable if he's on official business, but I do not appreciate getting stuck in traffic for three hours so that he can go raise money for his fellow politicians.

I have heard a lot of very foolish conservatives try to defend Dubya by saying that Lincoln's approval was very low during his time in office. They use this to say that Bush will be remembered as one of the great presidents. They never show any evidence, but say it is true. Obviously he wasn't well-liked in the states that seceeded from the union, but I haven't seen anything that says ONLY 30% of the people nation-wide (at least the Union states) supported him. Does anyone have any more info? I do realize this might be kind if difficult because Gallup and his polls didn't come about until the 40s and 50s.
