Politics - 9 October 2006

Have you seen the shape of public housing? Why do want the same government that runs that to run your healthcare? Don't you know that they will run it straight into the ground?

That's why they (cons) are in the minority here.

The best minds in Washington are busily working right now on an answer to the difficult problem posed by No. Korea's recent nuke test--how to blame it all on President Clinton. They need your help! Bonus points for showing how the Foley scandal was the Democrats' fault!

I am fairly new at Yahoo Answers, but I have already witnessed this several times. If this is really true perhaps I should quit wasting my time with a system that only allows one side of an argument to be presented.

After all, it took the Foley problem off of the front page.

Yes, you can argue that we never should have invaded Iraq, 20/20 hindsight showing that. But why advocate redeploying our troops (surrendering) now?

Can liberals not see that if we leave Iraq, it will be plunged into turmoil just as Afghanistan was when the Soviets pulled out? Can they not see that a Taliban like group will grab power and that women, homosexuals, and people of other faiths or sects will have their rights extinguished, not to mention their lives? Can they not see that the various ethnic groups will butcher each other? Can they not see that Iraq would then become a haven for various terrorist groups to base in, and then strike against the West? Can they not see that leaving only will embolden the terrorists? Can they not see that if we leave, we'll only have to go back in 5 - 15 years and do it again? Can they not see that America would be in far more danger by leaving Iraq than by staying?

To any liberals, can you please explain why we should surrender now?

I keep reading about the very high ups in companies getting 30% wage increases and yet workers and the country suffer as jobs and factories are sent overseas. When China has all the manufacturing in their country how will we be able to produce war materials in case of a conflict like ww2. Think about it people...burger flipping and paper pushing won't cut it.

Many people must pay an annual fee to check out library books. The places where the $150-$200 fee per year is required, are just the places where the economy is poor and people are unable to afford the fee.

Don't you agree that all children,(at least) in America should have equal opportunity to read? Public service announcements serve no purpose if the families cannot afford books.

Celebrity figures telling us to read to children, need rather to be working to enable ALL communities whether large or small to have libraries and to make those libraries accessible to the surrounding area regardless of how political lines of demarcation are drawn.

Please educate yourselves, don't make me tell yet another generation that, "I'm sorry but Big Bird and Reading Rainbow are wrong, we cannot check out books from the library in town."

Yet large cities receive higher federal tax dollar return than rural communities. Now maybe you can begin to understand resentments. We all need.

They want to perpetuate the myth that union people are "greedy lazy slobs" and that's why they need a union. I'll tell you friend, unless we get this outsourcing thing under control you can kiss middle-class america goodbye.

Only answer I've received so far is that more guns is the solution to the recent school shootings. Any other suggestions? Since we can't make people accountable for children getting ahold of their parent's handguns, and we can't force safety classes or gun safes, is the solution for more unregulated people to have guns, and more children to have access to unprotected guns?

Many of the diamonds, gold, and other gems they wear so ostentatiously are obtained through the exploitation and killing of Africans. Yet, they continue to brag about them and wear such ridiculous things as grills and absurdly long chains encrusted with diamonds. Then they complain about how white people don't care about blacks. Shouldn't you care about your own people before complaining that someone else doesn't?

I know black people aren't the only ones, and I know that not all black people care so much about their bling, I just think this irony applies mainly to them.

I just posted this question in another category but only got 3 responses so here it is again.

I think it would make a huge difference if the media happened to mention the following

In 1994 The blundering Clinton administration agreed to provide North Korea with two light-water nuclear reactors in exchange for ending its nuclear weapons program. It IS possible to extract weapons-grade material from light-water reactors.(who didnt see this coming?)

What's more surprising is Donald Rumsfeld sat on the board of the company that won the $200 million contract to provide the design and key components for the reactors.

The company is Zurich-based engineering giant ABB, which signed the contract in early 2000, before Rumsfeld gave up his board seat and joined the Bush administration. He was on the board from 1990 to early 2001.

In May 2001, the DOE, after consulting with the new Rumsfeld Pentagon, authorized delivery of nuclear technology to North Korea. Groundbreaking ceremonies attended by Westinghouse and N. Korean officials were held Sept. 14, 2001--three days after 9/11

I want to be clear here. I don't care if Hastert is gay, or what he does with other consenting adults. But where children are involved, I have a real problem, as I do with the hypocrisy of Hastert's anti-gay voting record.

Chris Rock once said that gun crimes would go down, if bullets cost $5000 a piece. COuld this be a good solution?

If not for stricter gun control, then how? I'm all for government staying out of it, and I totally belive in personal freedoms, and personal responsiblilites. Should we criminally punish the owners of the guns for not following and respecting proper usage, storage, safety, and handling of their guns? Should there be a statute of limitations on reporting a stolen hand gun? What should be done?
