The slander, the obscenities, the name calling, the hate mongering.

People bashing the president, the liberals, the conservatives.

Is this what we really want in a Question and Answer forum?

I can understand when someone goes off once or twice, but when wackos are constantly spamming Answers with hate, I find you can pull up a list of all their questions and answers and tell if they are really spammers, and report each and every one of their abuses, pretty soon, their points drop really really low, and Yahoo! answers may even drop their ID.

This would work a lot better and faster if everyone were to look at all the previous questions and answers of the abuses, and if they find previous abuses they have not reported, to report them.

Honestly and fairly report abuses, don't use abuse reporting as a weapon against freedom of expression.

God Bless America, and God Bless Freedom of Speech!

One eighth of US residents are now living below the poverty line, which is defined as $19,157 annual income for a family of four. I don't know what the figures are for < $25,000 income but I'm guessing around 20%. The conservative stance on issues that affect this are as follows;

No increase in the minimum wage.
Tighten welfare benefits requirements.
Less gradation in tax brackets based on income.

Am I forgetting any? Given the above, what is the conservative plan for reducing poverty in the US? Or is this simply not a conservative priority?

I'm beggining to think that the age of electronic communication is simply enabling more and more division amongst common folk in our society. It seems like all of this increased ability to communicate would increase our understanding of each other, but it doesn't seem to work that way. Instead we anonymously hide behind avatars and throw barbs at people who think differently than us.

Western democracy is still driven by the populace, and the populace is more split than I can ever remember. I can't help that the internet is only helping to enlarge this gulf and not to reduce it. Will this only continue to get worse as we become more and more competent with computers, as electornic commmunication allows us to become more specialised and insular?

That would be like blaming Andrew Jackson for the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Because everyone knows that the Japanese weren't sneaking around and blowing things up until Hoover was president.

And besides, no one even knew about bin Laden in 1999. Maybe, like, three people. It's possible that he didn't even exist until Bush made him mad about the stolen election.

Remember, 9/11 happened when Bush was president. That was eight months into his presidency, and by then he'd already had his cabinet assembled for something like two months. But that's only because the election was stolen and Gore made a valient effort to stop him.

Verse 9:11 from the Koran;
"For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome
Eagle.
The wrath of the Eagle would be felt through the lands of Allah and
lo,
while some of the people trembled in despair still ;more rejoiced:
for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah and there was peace."

Or more accurately, why do they appear only to like the speech they agree with? From "hate crime" legislation that seeks to punish people based on their thoughts, to Democratic Senators threatening to try to yank ABC's television license because they don't like the content of one mini-series, liberals almost invariably present the appearence that they are no friends of free speech. My question is, do they really hate free speech and wish to control what everyone thinks and says, or is there some freedom-loving reason why they would seek to punish those who disagree with them?

(I realize Republicans have done things like this, too, but I'm not talking about them. And two wrongs don't make a right. You either stand by your principles, or you have none.)

Take the movie the PATH to 911 - it portrays the former and current administrations as both mishandling crucial situations and information BUT you only hear whining and complaining from the democratic side!! Why is that? Are Conservatives just more self confident than liberals? Is it because dems lack to moral fortitude and don't know what is right and wrong?

Or is it because the movie closely (NOW PAY ATTENTION DEMS), closely not accurately, portrays the insuffient understanding and lack of desire for the Clinton administration's to deal with terrorists and their atacks?

The majority of people aren't on the extreme ends of the political spectrum. Aren't we all in the center somewhere? Where do YOU fit into this spectrum?

This is really very serious. Definitely nobody can suspect him,especially if he is educated,from a good family and builds an image of "Desh Bakth" before carryingout the attacks.He may wear Tilak and appear like a Hindu.

I know Iranians that live there are dying to come to America and wish the government could be different. There lives are run by the government and most of them hate it and those who won't admit they hate it are scared of expressing their real feeling? I was just wondering what people know or think they knowof how Iranians trully feel.

Here's why (hope telling you this doesn't make you want to insult me)
1) The way he has directed the military has resulted in the capture of everyone involved in every aspect of the 9/11 attacks (except th ones that died)
2) He has surrounded himself with people who have proven that they can produce results in the areas that they specialize in (i.e. Donald Rumsfeld)
3) He has morals and a clean lifestyle unlike Bill Clinton.
4) He visits the wounded soldiers at the hospital regularly
5) He is emotional and vulnerable.
