Politics - 10 October 2007

the reps and dems both accuse the other of being closed minded, but isnt it closed minded of a nation to have only 2 parties? thats a bit rigid, i mean what if you are ok with gay rights and abortion rights, but youre against raising taxes? sure, there are the libertarians, but theyre not viable. or, dare i say it, what if youre a christian socialist, like Angela Merkel of germany? or what if you have other independent ideas? the american people really arent being represented i think. both the reps and the dems should be broken up into smaller, more specific parties, so that more people can be represented. sure, not every individual can be represented, but this way would make it better.

Okay I have never had sex or for that matter even kissed a girl (or a guy since I'm not gay). Besides sexual relations, transfusions, breast feeding & all that is it possible 2 get HIV from sitting on a toilet or any other STDS? I'm pretty much a hypochondriac so i have another question. I was playing basketball earlier so I was playing with a ball that many people were touching, so I probably had a lot of germs on my hands & what not. I also shook hands with people afterward. I came home & I had 2 take a **** really bad, but I was also very constipated so when i am constipated I take a piece of toilet paper & stick it up my *** like a makeshift laxative. As disgusting as this sounds my finger may have slipped out of this shield & made skin to skin contact with my asshole. Could the germs (possibly the HIV virus) from the basketball game that were on my hands & from touching door handles be transmitted inside my *** when my finger touched it by accident? Basically can I get HIV or STDS

Lets try to be serious if we have the capacity this morning.

If in the event that we end up with Clinton's proposed heath care system AKA The National Health Care System ot Universal Healthcare System.

1) Do you honestly believe, that if you get sick, you will simply run down to the doctor's office and be seen any quicker?

2) Do you honestly believe, that the chances of being denied health care are less likely than now under this proposterous program?

3) Do you honestly believe that the Middle Class Americans are the ones who will benifit from this system?

The middle class is in big trouble folks, if this system ever goes into place. It will be us in the middle class that pay for everything. Most of us have worked hard to get where we are and aren't prepared to give it up. Our taxes are going to be an outrage if this was ever to go into effect.

Sorry my typing sucks this morning.

The talk around the U.S. is that Hillary is a respected world figure and just being elected would strengthen and heal most of our image in the world particularly Europe. Seeing as much of economics in the world today has to do with international perception of stability i am asking members of the international community to answer this question

"If Hillary is President next year how will you see your American cousins."

I have been curious to this for some time - considering that Hillary Clinton is garnering so much press, positive and negative.

If, say, Eleanor Roosevelt or Jacqueline Kennedy or Barbara Bush had decided to run for President in their times (OK, you can pretend this happened after their hubbies had ceased to be President), what would the reaction have been like? The same as Hillary is getting now? Come to think of it, would they even have been allowed to run back then...

I welcome all your thoughts and opinions on this. :)

Clinton debated the words "sex" and "is" and now Bush is debating the meaning of words like "torture" and "winning." What's the point of owning a dictionary these days?

The way the situation seems to be, they normally dont take the agreement seriously as they break fires always.

Is it making you feel better as a human to insult the president. Does it make you more of a person. I am really curious because this is getting very old. You dont like him keep your opinion to yourself....but just out of curiosity why say so many hateful things about him....im sure he could say just as many back to you.

Since Pete Coors is a major contributor to the GOP does this mean that the profits made by Miller Beer will be plowed into the GOP as well?

2nd biggest genocide after the Holocaust.

But Bush doesn't want to recognize it why? Oh yeah, he's playing politics and trying to win Turkey over for...Iraq. And what are we doing in Iraq again? Oh yeah, trying to be the referree in a Civil War.

So now Bush has spent trillions in debt, let the southern border remain open, gotten us bogged down in a pointless war(trying to Westernize Iraq which is impossible), nearly appointed a liberal to the supreme court, pardoned Libby, letting NAFTA allow countless Mexican trucks into US, and now tried to have Congress NOT acknowledge what happened in Turkey as a genocide.

Wow.

Genocide is defined as "the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group." There are still Armenians around...hence there wasn't a genocide. How can you recognize something that didn't happen? You want to say a tradegy in Armenian history where hundreds of thousands possibly died...ok. But to call it a genocide when it wasn't? Now that's asking for more pity. Anyone wanna care to explain how the US government or the idiots on the House decided on this? I mean...a tradegy yes...genocide? NO!!!

Every other answer or question I see is filled with hatred towards someone who stands behind a different political party.

Why can't we ever have a civilized debate on here w/o the name calling, assumption making, and low blows?
