Which of the two is more pressing in today's current affairs?

Arguments?

That when someone says "FOX lies are O.K., they loath the truth" they give no specifics when asked?

their sexuality? If they were all business at work and discreet about their private lives, would their sexual orientation matter? Do the problems start when the agenda of a party makes a person "stay in the closet" while outwardly supporting an agenda against homesexuals? If we are all created equal, why don't we act that way?

OK, Atlanta is looking at banning people wearing baggy pants and letting the boxers show. Let me first say I hate the pants, think it looks ridiculous BUT I do not see why this is a “lets pass a law” issue.

Even more outrageous is the ACLU claiming this is a racial issue and police will be doing racial profiling. WHAT? This is a teen boy (and occasionally girl) issue. I see whites, blacks, hispanics, asians, and native americans all wearing this “style”.

Would love to get your input on this. Is this a government issue? Would it be racial profiling? If we pass this can we also outlaw “HOTTIE” mid-drift t-shirts? If we pass this, what outfit or style would you like to see banned?

At the beginning of our republic, most of congress was temporary. It was duty that people served in it, and careers were short. In the early 1900's it started to become a career thing, and because of that we've seen significant expansions in our government.

After FDR's death we realized how much our government can change just by one president, and so we decided to limit presidential terms. I think that was wise.

Why not congress? I'm sick of seeing either side stay on with near impunity! In order to instill a politican of duty and a politician closer to the people,...why not have new blood in every 8 years? Why not have another primary with someone different?

The world changes, and it seems that these elite lifelong politicians have nothing to lose. I mean this about both parties. It's silly that dems and repubs can't get together on this. We both understand the value don't we?

Like the mayor and the governor? We all seen the pics of those school buses under water, and yet these people still continue to soley blame Bush: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070829/ap_on_re_us/katrina_anniversary
We all know that it was government failure on many levels but we also know that the local government is more to blame than the federal government, and yet the incumbents continue to get re-elected.

Nobody, right?
Most of the candidates running for president want to withdraw from Iraq. None are offering a winning proposal.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that mismanagement by the Bush administration has been the major stumbling block in Iraq.
What if a presidential candidate came up with a surefire plan to win in Iraq, a plan that would require less money and fewer troop. Would you vote for that candidate? Or, would you vote for the candidate that wants to toss in the towel?
