A system in which everyone is treated equally under the law, where everyone is paid equally regardless of job, etc, and generally a system that values the average citizen. What do you say about that? Don't you see our current economic system highly unjust? It seems as if it is okay for the rich capitalists to exploit the working class by paying them less than their labour is worth.

I'll be honest with you I'd give him a 6 or 7. Maybe a 6.5

I would give him a 6.5 because he provided better education/school systems all across America. He also raised gas prices up which increased the inflation of gas which helps my family's company.
I dislike him for sending out innocent troops to Iraq in this pointless war.

PS- I think he is a good guy and I also believe a lot of people over look George W. Bush. I give the guy credit for trying his best to do his job.

What would you rate George W. Bush 1-10 (10 being the best).

When he's out of office he can no longer try to claim immunity as a head of state or government official. Nor can he claim immunity as former state official, as international law does not recognize such immunity in the case of international crimes including the crime of torture.
Does this apply only outside the United States?

With the dollar at 30 year low and no end to his war.What more damage can he do before his turn is over next November?. How far can he bring Americans down in debt to the world. Why can someone not try to get him out of office now?

New polling from American Research Group finds that 55% of voters believe that George W. Bush has abused his powers in a way that rises to the level of impeachable offenses. 52% of voters believe that the same is true of Vice President Dick Cheney. 64% believe that Bush has abused his power to a real extent, while 70% believe the same of Dick Cheney.
Kucinich has called for Cheney's impeachment and Pelosi says if she has 10,000 letters from constituents requesting impeachment she will put it back on the table.
Can it be done?

Is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration filled with climate change deniers?

Such seems likely to be alleged by hysterical alarmists in the press when and if they read a new study out of NASA which determined that "not all the large changes seen in Arctic climate in recent years are a result of long-term trends associated with global warming."

i did NOT agree with the following:

The best kind of healthcare is private healthcare.

Education is a luxury, not a right.

The rich pay more than their fair share of taxes.

Social Security should be privatized.

The government is under no obligation to provide for the poor.

Labor laws inhibit business owners too much.

Minimum wage laws hurt the economy.

What do u think? Serious answers please. I don't know much about socialism or why people hate it so much. So people who know about it please give me some unbiased insight.

Waterboarding is not torture. It is strictly a psychological technique and causes NO permanent physical damage.

America is an epic global battle with ruthless savages who seek our destruction, and liberals are feeling sorry for the terrorists!

Usually the nonsense liberals spout is kind of cute, but in wartime their instinctive idiocy is life-threatening!

Call me crazy, but if Ahmed knows where the Nuke Suitcase bomb is I want my government to get that information at ALL costs.

I don't want to move to Cuba...
I don't want to live under a dictatorship, but at the same time, I don't want to be away from him.
This is a really stupid decision on his part.
He thinks Cuba would be a "great place to live."
What do I do?

We have a lot of things hitting us at one time.
We have contaminated our air and waterways, clear-cut our forests, and our inner cities are dying. The pollution of such natural resources often preceeds economic and societal collapses. The shrinking dollar, soaring gas prices, housing slump and stock market fall, though inconvenient, are not the biggest threats to the economy. These are symptoms caused by deeper systemic problems. We need to learn from these events and discover how to build more sustainable societies. Otherwise, these “hits” are likely to increase and spread.
Many major American institutions are in crisis, including healthcare, religion, transportation, political systems, energy, and education.
That which Heinberg and other Peak Oil theorists have been predicting for years seems to be entering its next stage. With the supply of petroleum and other fossil fuels diminishing and the demand for them increasing–especially from rapidly industrializing China and India–we are moving toward a radically worsened US economy. Canada is one of the many countries whose citizens are ahead of the US in prudent planning for pending crises caused by extreme climate, Peak Oil, and related matters. The Vancouver City Planning Commission has posted a report on a 2006 seminar on collapse at www.plancanada.com. Videos of such ongoing seminars to get ready are available at www.peakmoment.org.
Too many Americans selfishly believe that they have a God-given right to consume whatever their wealth can purchase, without regard to the consequences to other people and the Earth. They take, rather than give, even the natural resources of other peoples. As a farmer, I know that you reap what you sow and that chickens come home to roost.

Yesterday I just transfered into this new class and the teacher was neoMarxist and he kept going on and on about his political viewpoints and we were discussing things in class. It started with something like the course outline and then it ended up where the teacher kept discussing a system of equality that he wishes was enforced in America. And I was talking to him after class and I said I agreed with what he was talking about and he told me he was glad and that he would give an "A" in the class. I was really excited, not the A mind you, but the fact that he was telling his students about the best economic system, so we can all start a revolution soon. I mean, it would benifit everyone in the long run because it would eliminate the current social injustice now. Do you think that if he enforces this to all his students that a communist revolution would take place soon? Do you think that it was okay to do this?

I ask because I have actually read the guidelines - and I have received a slew of "violation emails" of late that do not violate in any way what so ever the community guidelines.
It seems a very poor policy if questions or answers are deleted just because some air head didn't agree with it.
As a side note - don't bother questioning or even replying to these "violations" because you will not receive an explanation or even a reply.

Bnp is portrayed as evil but Snp appears to be popular. Why???
The only difference is the word Scottish and the word British.
They are both national parties.

It just keeps getting uglier and uglier. The self proclaimed hero of 911 set up an apartment near ground zero for the use of the volunteers, so that hey could get a little respite during their work. And just how was the apartment used? Why it was used by Giuliani’s business partner to stash his girl friend. So while the volunteers did their work in the toxic air of the rubble, the good mayors protégé was doing his work in a taxpayers gift apartment. It is truly the stuff of heroes.
Given Giuliani’s rather complex marital and extra marital relations one has to wonder who else had a key to that apartment.

it united with Canada to make one huge country? It's just a hypothetical, I'm not asking if it is likely to happen. I was just curious if Canada has anything valuable that would make us more powerful. Or would we not really gain much out of it other than a bunch of wheat fields and maple syrup?

1. okay what is a present day example of citizen involvement in the U.S. political process. write a brief report ( not long just like 3 sentences or however many.)

2. consider a way for you and you piers(students,classmates,family,ect.) to take a more active role in the political process. Write a possible course of action for doing so. NOT VOTING!

okay you can do either or both(: both would be great and would boost up that chance of you getting 10 pts! hah thanks! much appreciated!=)
