Hussein is kind of a chump compared to these guys, our history books better not place him on such a prestigious pedestal. hell if it were not for the USA's helpful hand he would not have been able to do half as much as he actually did.

ok boys I need your help on this:

What are the advantages of a unicameral legislature like the one in Nebraska?

What have actually been the issues (I need real names) that have been proposed by third or minor parties that have been taken into consideration by the federal government?

What have been the positive effects, if any, of the interests groups for the democracy in the United States?

OK, people have different opinions on the 2nd amendment, ranging from everyone should own any gun they want to, to every gun should be banned. But of course, most people sit in the middle.

Now, I believe people should have the right to own guns (handguns as well, although I will never own one), but I still have to respect the amount of gun violence in this country.

So how about this. We let people have any guns they want (except those that are already illegal, such as fully-automatic guns), and as many as they want. In other words, zero gun control.

We only add one stipulation. If you EVER get caught committing ANY crime while using a gun (for instance, robbing a bank with a handgun), you go to jail for life. Period.

And that's it. Sure, gun crime may rise for a year or so, but it will be practically non-existent after that. Crime will still exist, but it will be more like Europe where most crimes are just committed with no guns, resulting in less innocent fatalities.
AND, homeowners can still carry a weapon to protect their homes.

Worried that the prison costs would be too high? Nope. We just let this guy be in charge of the prisons:

And if you think not letting inmates watch cable TV, smoke, look at porn or lift weights is cruel punishment, well, you need to remember they are CRIMINALS!

Will it work?

That we are asked to vote for Candidates who after careful evaluation are just as bad if not worse than the incumbent..... Hillary and Guilliani

What happened to the days when we looked for a visionary to lead the country and enthuse the people.... Instead we are given puppets with a prescribed script.

I have to say Fox News. It's not really news, but mostly one right-wing "news analyses" show after another: Sean Hannity, Bill Oreilly, John Gibson, Brit Hume, Neil Cavuto, etc, etc.

If they are so fair and balanced why can they not give a liberal his own show?

I see the other cable news and radio stations do the same thing. The vast majority of "news analyses" shows are headed by right-wing pundits: Joe Scarborough, Lou Dobbs, Glenn Beck, Tucker Carlson, Micheal Savage, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, and countless others on radio.

A hypothesis is an assumed explanation for a phenomena that still needs to be proven with observations and experimentation.

A theory is a rational natural explanation of phenomena that has often already been backed up with years and years of observations, modeling, and experimentation. For example, evolution and the big bang are well established scientific theories that are well accepted by the scientific community. It could very well be these explanations are wrong, but they are however the best explanations for the origin of man and universe to date.

Sometimes I see some people also get confused with the words "law" and "theory". They think a law supercedes a theory when in fact they are the same thing. Newton's "laws" of motion and gravity are actually also just explanations. In fact, Einstein's "theory" of relativity can explain motion under more conditions then Newton's "laws" of motion can. Newton's laws of motion for example cannot predict the motion of Mercury.

Exodus 22:16 -- 22:18
When a man seduces a virgin who is not engaged to be married, and lies with her, he shall give the bride-price for her and make her his wife. But if her father refuses to give her to him, he shall pay an amount equal to the bride-price for virgins.

Ya'all must be so proud of your book of morals.

Following two weeks of investigation, re-reporting and fact checking, it appears that the writer in question has not been precisely honest.

To briefly recap: Pvt. Scott Thomas Beauchamp was writing stories for The New Republic (TNR) under the pseudonym, Scott Thomas -- allegedly relating insider stories from the front lines. Some of Thomas' stories, appearing in TNR didn't ring true to close readers, some of whom had been in Iraq at the times and places where Beauchamp's tales supposedly took place.

Like crazy stuff that they cutt the hands off every 100th person.
or like this response to a best anser from a republican of course
"Although this answer is not very thorough, it's the one that makes the most sense. You panda huggers need to wake up and smell the gunpowder, China is an expansionist, authoritarian regime, that doesn't see the need to meet international standards of freedom, openness, or tolerance. They are evil! "


Are they describing China or America?

I;ve heard some people say we need universal healthcare because the government is more accountable to the people than businesses. So if anyone believes that, I have two followups:

Why is Bush still president while the CEO of Enron is in jail?

Why do bad businesses go bankrupt and shut down when the Republicans and Democrats keep getting elected?
