Doesn't the British Big Brother government spying on their people and talking to them through speakers on the street put them on par with any other despotic tyrannical government?

If dictatorships are bad and Communism is bad and Fascism is bad and Nazism is bad and the Taliban is bad and Saddam Hussein's regime was bad then isn't this Big Brother stuff just as bad and isn't it about time someone said so?

What say you?

Don't try to tell me that the 3rd parties should do more to get noticed. In many places such as Oklahoma 3rd parties must petition to get on the ballot. This does not seem like Democracy at work to me.

Because this is what I'm seeing in this country. Far too many people want to blame the oil companies and say that they are to blame for the supply but come on, let's face it, we don't have enough refineries in this country to satiate the population. We import gas, people! Then we have to refine that, because it isn't refined enough for us. Companies are not in business to supply your need to help the consumer. They want to make momey. To keep in business, to employ people, to offer the consumer the best product they can produce at the best price possible. The consumer, on the other hand, wants to but the product at the lowest price. They can go somewhere else or lower their demand if the price it too high. Not that hard to figure out.

97% cannot point out where Kabul is, 85% of people do not know who Muqtada Al Sadr is. How is our society so disconnected from war. Do you think people in WWII were this clueless about our enemies? I do not think people in 1942 were unable to point out where Tokyo is or who Hideki Tojo was.

One day , the father of a very wealthy family took his son to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people lived . They spent 3 days on the farm of some poor people . On their way home , dad asked his son " How was the trip" ? "It was great" said his son . 'Did you see how poor people live" ? " Yes" said the boy . So the father asked what his son had learned and the boy replied " I saw that we have 1 dog and they had 4 . We have a pool that reaches to the end of our garden , and they have a creek that goes on forever . We have imported lanterns and they have the stars . We have a small plot to live on and they have fields that go beyond sight . We buy our food but they grow theirs . We have fences to protect us and they have friends and neighbors .
The father was speechless !!
Then his son added " Thanks dad for showing me how poor we are " !

Yes , urban life is different , but that doesn't mean there aren't any opportunities .

let's assume what conservatives say about the liberal media and universties is true...why?

I have a theory...

I think both are fairly low paying, relative to the education needed for the jobs, and on the whole, conservatives are more motivated by pay than liberals...

if I'm correct, it's kind of a self-fullfilling prophecy...

I mean most media sources are owned by huge corperations now days that would clearly have a vested interest in pro-business practices, which Republicans do push... the way I see it?

at the same time, if conservatives are correct, our schools and media have quite a large influence on the population... so that could be a problem...

what do you think?

every child conceived is born? In a way doesn't this perpetrate the cycle republicans say you hate? The generational welfare family? Saying it's a moral issue imposes your morals on me, saying it's a religious issue imposes your religious beliefs on me. Shouldn't it be a woman's choice?

"It's important for Congress to understand that the information the committee is requesting is highly classified and not information we can make available," said Bush spokesman Tony Fratto. "Also important is for Congress to respect our need to ensure that internal executive branch deliberations are confidential."

It's the second part that I have the biggest problem with.

If you're conservative, would you want Hillary Clinton to have this same right?

I think our government - Democrats and Republicans both - keeps WAY too many secrets from the American people and I don't think that's what the Founding Fathers envisioned.

Why are most politicains two faced? i am watching an edition of Question time and the way they say they opposed the war in Iraq as if they did, i remember most politicians backing it and now they say they didnt and use some mumbo jumbo terminology to try and convince us. What we need is someone who tells us the truth - a prime minister who acts responsibly and puts his hands up when he is wrong - unlike our CURRENT one. What will Brown be like?

Radical Christian types routinely distort history to suggest that our founding fathers were Christians, but they weren't...they were masonic deists.

Radical Christians routinely cite Biblical passages to justify everything from their own degenerate homophobia to the legacy of slavery and racism in the US. Yet, their attachment to biblical law somehow wanes when it comes to stuff like keeping kosher, shaving their beards and turning the other cheek.

Radical Christians shrink in horror when muslims engage Sharia (Koranic law), but deep in their hearts they envy these islamic barbarians for the swift finality of their justice.

The Religious Right in the US wants nothing more than to dismantle our democracy in favor of theocracy (like Iran, except with white, protestant ministers instead of arab mullahs and ayatollahs), and to facilitate the end of the world.

In my opinion, they are no different than Al-Queda (see Oklahoma City bombing if you think they arent violent).

Looking for some real answers other than simple one-liners, such as "Becuause he's an idiot", or "Becuase all the politicians are greedy SOB's.".

If some of you have some legitimate answers relating to the intricacies of the foreign policy, or the specifics of the events, let's hear it and enlighten the rest of the Yahoo7 crowd.

Why do so many political journalist add their opinions to subjects they're reporting. Wouldn't you rather hear news from a un-biased spokesman who strictly reports facts.

When the second largest single voting block for your political party consists of people who believe in magic (creationism), do not accept that all men are created equal (pro-segregation, pro-racism), do not believe in freedom of religion (Christian evangelicals only acknowledge the beliefs of those warped little provincials that share their values), do not believe in freedom of choice (abortion), freedom of speech (again, unless the person speaking shares their views), freedom of assembly (which is why they hate liberal protester-types) or freedom of thought (which is why they routinely hold book burning parties in places like Springfield, Missouri)...

How can people, in right mind and good conscience, even entertain the thought of supporting a republican agenda?
