Q&A don't give us the option to vote best or worse question so I'm taking matters into my own hands.
You may not submit as candidates for stupidest question:
1. this question
or
2. my feebleminded question of yesterday about Mrs. Pelosi being so good-looking. (she is!)

Why not? Because it's too easy but ,chiefly, because this is MY question and I reserve the right to set my terms.

Please give the matter consideration! There is a WIDE field of very deserving candidates to choose from.

Well, I'm looking for someone whom's ideology is closest to my own.
For instance, I would like someone who is for abortion (including partial-birth), socialized medicine, legalization of drugs and immediate withdrawal from this terrible war in Iraq.
I'm really wary of anyone who professes faith in God sinse I'm an atheist.
I'm torn between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
Which candidate do you think is a good choice for me?

Are we at such a tipping point for turmoil as was the case in world war one, with the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand?
I just want speculation... do you feel anxious about our situation?

Is this the feminists view of success? Seriously, subtract Bill Clinton and nobody even knows who Hillary is. When she is finally disgraced from the public stage, will anyone remember?

I thought Mike Huckabee did a great job (as always)--- he has my 100% support. I think Fred Thompson should have stayed out of the race. I would not vote for the man.

Surely they would do better than the recent offerings and maybe some real leadership would be displayed.

The world would probably be a saner,safer place as well

Fist of all, I'm a Chinese, and I do think my motherland is a strange country.

1.China is famous for strict censorship, but my dad bought pirate erotica without any problems, he even asks for my opinion and watch them in front of me....no cops care about.

2. I have a satellite receiver, no cops care about.

3. China's mainstream websites are full of X rated stuff, no cops care about.

4. Farmers wear Armani suits while doing field work.

5. Internet are full of japan-haters, but off the internet, all of them eat sushi and watch Japanese manga and TV shows and join manga cosplay.

6. I went to western China and feels like it's some Middle-east country.

all in all, I'm not sure what China is.

Talking with a family member the other day who was reading a book about democracy cannot last more than 350 or 450 years because sooner or later one of the parties is going to appeal the the ignorant vote. Can we look at both dems and republicans that way? One thing I witness is the dems doing the "youtube" debate, falsely siding with minority america (acting as if the republicans/bush do not care for blacks (katrina) and they do), and they try to appeal to poor/non educated. And im not saying republicans don't have poor (rednecks) voting for them, but they don't try to appeal to them directly or indirectly. This is not everything I want to say or think, but I believe what I have said will be sufficient enough to strike up some good responses. Have a good one everyone.

Polls show that adults over 50 - the people that vote the most favor Hillary Clinton. People under 30 - the ones that vote the least, prefer Barack Obama or Ron Paul.

Older adults voted in Bush, and now they're poised to vote in Hillary Clinton - who in my opinion will be just as bad. Why don't they want something new?

I think people for the most part have eliminated war and disease for the most part. However, I always wonder that, because the human population is probably at the highest it's ever been in history, if something catastrophic will happen to reduce the population. I'm thinking maybe like 28 days later, a massive epidemic, a nuclear holocaust, maybe a resource crisis or something else that will reduce the human population in the world?

Not that I'm wishing for one, but it always seems like tensions rise when there are too little resources for the population at large. World War II was arguably the world's last major crisis, and I feel the world is overdue for another. It worries me to think of what it might be.

What are your feelings on the matter?

If Serbian hearthland KOSOVO may (according to some irresponsible views) become Second Albanian Independant State, could it be the same case with Euskadi (Pays Basque), Northern Ireland, Scottland, South Tyroll, Catalonia, Sadinia, Calabria, Wales, South Slovakia, Transylvania, Pridnestrovie, Abhazia, Osetia, Florida, Kurdistan, Illyrida, Gradisce (Austria), Thrace (Bulgaria), Chamurria (Greece), Northern Cyprus, Quebec, Rio Grande do Sul.........(PLEASE ADD ANY SIMILAR CASE WHICH OCCASIONALLY I MIGHT HAVE OMMITED!!!)?

And IF YES, please try to state - base on WHAT?

Moussaoui the 20th hijacker was in FBI custody in Minneapolis for weeks prior to 9/11!Why weren't the FBI agents who arrested him called to testify at the 911 commission?Why does retired FBI agent Coleen Rowley states that FISA warrants were denied by FBI HQ/Washington.Denial of warrants obstructed terrorism investigations!
Bush recieved a briefing on 8/6/01 stating Bin Laden determined to strike inside US!

WE THE PEOPLE deserve to know what Bush did to protect Americas national security from terrorism from the day he took office until 9/11!!!
Why would he only meet with the 911 commission behind closed doors without being sworn in and with Cheney in attendance?

Ok so I know that Neo cons are basically pro Bush, does that mean they are democrats or Republicans, Liberal or Labour ? The translation in Australia is exactly the opposite of our American counterparts ! ie, here Labour are anti war radicals and "Liberals" are pro Government and John Howard, even George Bush. What does "Neo con " stand for ? Abbreviation of what....? Sorry for my ignorance, but i don't have the patience to work it out !

In Logic, an argument is a set of declarative sentences (statements) known as the premises, and another declarative sentence (statement) known as the conclusion in which it is asserted that the truth of the conclusion follows from (is entailed by) the premisses. Such an argument may or may not be valid. Note: in Logic declarative sentences (statements) are either true or false (not valid or invalid); arguments are valid or invalid (not true or false). Many authors in Logic now use the term 'sentence' to mean a declarative sentence rather than 'statement' or 'proposition' to avoid certain philosophical implications of these last two terms.

Example 1:

Claim: Cats are less intelligent than dogs.
Ground: Cats cannot learn to do tricks as well as dogs do.
Warrant: The ability to learn tricks is a mark of intelligence.

Example 2:

Where: C=claim, W=warrant, G=ground, and Q=qualifier

C: Humans can't fly.
