Politics - 27 October 2007

Let's say that a person is truly upright and looking to learn new ideas, who would be some of the best people be to add to one's contact list with respect to politics (Middle East and Asian affairs)?

I would like to find and read their questions and comments.

I think what democracy is all about is the free sharing of ideas among people and the common will to do good in the world.

I would like to add people who either are already involved in political decision making at the highest of levels and/or people who are educated on the issues both Democrat and Republican.

While I am opinionated, I should and hope to try my best to be open-minded and to listen to all ideas.

I feel that by being open to people, we learn. I and a few friends of mine hope to do our part to make this world a better place for all people. Thank you!

Are you SURE that this is what you want?

Senator Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign is gaining fans, even on the West Bank.
“I hope Hillary is elected in order to have the occasion to carry out all the promises she is giving regarding Iraq,” said Ala Senakreh, West Bank chief of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, a Palestinian terror group. “President Clinton wanted to give the Palestinians 98 percent of the West Bank territories. I hope Hillary will move a step forward and will give the Palestinians all their rights.”“All Americans must vote Democrat,” insisted Jihad Jaara, an exiled Al Aqsa agent who commanded 2002’s siege of Bethlehem’s Church of the Nativity.

Why do constantly complain about the big bad United States. Your government cant even criticize those "oppressed" radical muslims who want to blow up western society. I guess you want to fight terrorism with "kindness" and "love". Maybe if you are "nice" to these people they will "understand".... and you people want to have some sort of sway with america? bs.

And then you complain about American foreign policy. Did you forget that we saved your arses in WW1, WW2, and the Coldwar? Maybe you wanted the Nazis to win, so you could fulfill your Freudian urge to turn jews to soap. Maybe all of you have secret sexual fantasies of Nazi memorabilia and fidel castro.. ........who knows?

And dont get me started on your tropical utopia communist cuba. I know you love that place and have great admiration for a piece of garbage who oppressed the cuban people for 48 years. the cuban people mean nothing to you, why should the evil united states get rid of your weekend whorehouse.

Americas budget deficit has increased from 304 biljon dollar in february to 455 biljon now. What would you think about a normal family, that continued to spend borrowed money while its debt continued to increased and become bigger and bigger and impossible pay durin their lifetime? That seems to be what Bush and his government is doing now.

I'm republican I mean I think we need change sometimes in America but as of right now I can't complain. George W. Bush is a pretty good president, I just wish he wouldn't of sent our innocent troops to Iraq. That was a mistake but I think it's awesome that he cut taxes and he cares about the enviroment of America.

What message do those who give out the prize say about the "humanity" of the accomplishments of person receiving the prize? If there was such a thing as the total opposite of a nobel peace prize, like a "war" prize or "hateness and divisiveness" prize, what kind of people would the nobel people give that one too?

That is like calling FOX conservative because they aren't liberals. Do you see how liberals try and stack the deck?

I see it on here a lot... a conservatives posting some cite that has some "anti-global" warming points... often very basic science points like "the earth has been warmer in the past"

while much of this is technically true, and there may be some other theories for global warming....

most scientists are WELL aware of these... and yes most still believe in man-made global warming... based on the research?

Do Republicans really think that they are bringing up points scientists "never thought of" or "don't understand"?

We should be treated as such and not treated as if we are different because we are not. Why is it that there is such an un-even distrubution of wealth? Everyone should be paid the same because not everyone has equal oppertunities to succeed. Some people were born in poverty and have very little chance of getting out of the cycle. Instead of paying some selfish person extra money when we know he is going to use his money to buy a bunch of useless crap and isn't going to help those less fortunate than him, we should give an equal amount to everyone. Why would people spend years in college for a career they aren't passionate about because of the money? I doubt few people would do that, so they wouldn't mind sharing the wealth with everyone else, such that everyone else is, in our standards, middle-class.

"In June, a fourth grade class from Portland Maine's East End Community School issued a dire climate report: "Global warming is a huge pending global disaster" read the elementary school kids' report according to an article in the Portland Press Herald on June 14, 2007. Remember, these are fourth graders issuing a dire global warming report. (LINK)

And this agenda of indoctrination and fear aimed at children is having an impact.

Nine year old Alyssa Luz-Ricca was quoted in the Washington Post on April 16, 2007 as saying:

"I worry about [global warming] because I don't want to die." (LINK)

The same article explained: "Psychologists say they're seeing an increasing number of young patients preoccupied by a climactic Armageddon." "

i have moved further into being liberal thanks to all the opposition i see that is the opposite of wwjd

the hateful remarks, lame excuses, total evasion of the question with relevant content have made me see the far right for what they really are

the more thumbs down i get, i realize that i must be doing something right

i do think a part of that is that i have a female avatar
the male avatars don't get beaten up as badly

i guess the far-right hates women too

what is ur experience?
