If God himself told you that the best thing to do was for the U.S. to pull out of Iraq, but Bush kept doggedly insisting that Iraq is quickly becoming Utopia... whose side would you take?

Ever since Bush took office, there has been so much Bush bashing. Though I don't agree with everything he does, I don't he's as bad as many portray. The economy, for example, is doing pretty well, but he rarely gets credit for it.

So what is really going on here with all this "Bush bashing" ? And why are so many Americans buying into it ?

Is this why some people find it OK to drop bombs on different people with different passports, colors and language.....

I hear CONS say all the time 'better to kill them over there', isn't it racist?

It shouldn't be hard to prove, but can we take them to court? Can citizens appeal directly to U.S. Supreme court for redress?

The conservative religious right wing, are on a rampage about the "liberals" and "moral decay" and say that their religion is the solution to today's modern soulesness...
Bulhockie!! the facts show that non-religious people are infact MORE vertueous than their religious counterparts. 10% of America is atheist and only 1% of atheists are in jail.
Most crime comes from the "bible belt" . and highly educated states like massachusetts who are very non-relgious, have some of the lowest crime and teen pregnancy rates..why is this?

Relgious findimentalists are also degrading hard won science, like evolution? this i cannot believe, and these ingorent creed of people who preach anti-semetism and homophobia in their churches think that they are worthy to run a country?

I have done some changing of my views by some of those on the other side in here. I have even come up with a new respect for liberals and dems because of some of those people in here. There are still a few select shmucks in here that I still cannot stand.... they fail to see that not all conservatives are mindset on political issues. All in all, this has been an interesting experience in here, does anyone else agree?

Its football season and my buddies love cold beer and since my wife will not let me out to the pubs to watch the games I have a few friends over .

Survey: Majority of Americans Agree with Dennis Kucinich

In the political equivalent of a “blind taste test” taken by more than 67,000 participants, an independent website surveying public attitudes on various issues is reporting that Ohio Congressman and Democratic Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich is the first choice of a phenomenal 53% of respondents.

The website has been asking respondents to express and rank their opinions on 25 different issues – the war in Iraq, health care, the environment, Patriot Act, etc. -- that have been raised and debated among the Presidential candidates in both parties.

Those taking the survey vote only on the issues, not for or against any individual candidate. The 67,000-plus responses were then correlated with the positions of all of the candidates.

If my pets can be covered at such low costs then why is it my family can not be covered for close to the same price .
Animals get the same level of care as people do . Lab tests x-rays, MRI's , medications injections and operations .

A friend of mine paid his vet 10,000 dollars cash to perform a heart transplant on his dog .

He went to the pound and got 3 dogs of the same breed to match up a donor and saved his beloved pet . True one of the dogs had to die but his pet was saved .

Should we have organ donation cards for animals . Are humane societies selling organs for transplant ???? I have heard rumors there is a black market on animal parts .

It started out innocently enough. I began to think at parties now and then -- just to loosen up.

Inevitably, though, one thought led to another, and soon I was more than just a social thinker.

I began to think alone -- "to relax," I told myself -- but I knew it wasn't true. Thinking became more and more important to me, and finally I was thinking all the time.

That was when things began to sour at home. One evening I turned off the TV and asked my wife about the meaning of life. She spent that night at her mother's.

I began to think on the job. I knew that thinking and employment don't mix, but I couldn't help myself.

I began to avoid friends at lunchtime so I could read Thoreau, Muir, Confucius and Kafka. I would return to the office dizzied and confused, asking, "What is it exactly we are doing here?"

One day the boss called me in. He said, "Listen, I like you, and it hurts me to say this, but your thinking has become a real problem. If you don't stop thinking on the job, you'll have to find another job."

This gave me a lot to think about. I came home early after my conversation with the boss. "Honey," I confessed, "I've been thinking..."

"I know you've been thinking," she said, "and I want a divorce!"

But Honey, surely it's not that serious." "It is serious," she said, lower lip aquiver.

"You think as much as college professors and college professors don't make any money, so if you keep on thinking, we won't have any money!"

"That's a faulty syllogism," I said impatiently.

She exploded in tears of rage and frustration, but I was in no mood to deal with the emotional drama.

"I'm going to the library," I snarled as I stomped out the door.

I headed for the library, in the mood for some Nietzsche. I roared into the parking lot with NPR on the radio and ran up to the big glass doors.

They didn't open. The library was closed.

To this day, I believe that a Higher Power was looking out for me that night. Leaning on the unfeeling glass, whimpering for Zarathustra, a poster caught my eye, "Friend, is heavy thinking ruining your life?" it asked.

You probably recognize that line. It comes from the standard Thinkers Anonymous poster.

This is why I am what I am today: a recovering thinker.

I never miss a TA meeting. At each meeting we watch a non-educational video; last week it was "Porky's." Then we share experiences about how we avoided thinking since the last meeting.

I still have my job, and things are a lot better at home.
Life just seemed easier, somehow, as soon as I stopped thinking.
I think the road to recovery is nearly complete for me.

Today I took the final step...
I joined the Democratic Party.

I think, main reason , in order to continue yahoo answers they have to suspend some successful accounts. Remember, I had aproximately 500 the best answers and I was middle of the 6 level. but, yahoo answers suspended my account without reason. Remember, I said, yahoo answers is a capitalist forum and they have to earn more and more money. in the yahoo answers, we have no right to refuse its selfish, injustice policy. I'm so upset about RLP Who has never deserved it. what can we do ? in order to blance power of yahoo answers, there must be new options that is new Global forum as yahoo answers. but, it must be fair , democratic management. we don't have to put up with yahoo answers's dictatorship !
what do you think ? ( by the way, I don't believe beachbom is leader of yahoo answers, she may be a member of yahoo staffs in order to compatitution among people)

I've had several relatives that got cancer after they turned 65 years old. Thank God America has good insurance that pays for those things.

Why do Libs want our grandparents to NOT get screened for Cancer?


"Although more than one-third of all diagnosed cancers occur
in patients 75 years of age or older, most cancer-screening
programs in the British NHS do not include people over age
65. "
