I would offer that there countless adjectives you could replace with the word inferior.

It would be so awesome if a woman of this woman's stature emerged in American politics today!

A question was asked on here about 10 minutes ago, where a girl asked if AIDS was a behavioral disease. Unfortunately, many uninformed people said it was not, as some people get it from blood transfusions, infected spouses and parent, etc.

Well, just to set the record straight, every person in America who has gotten AIDS NOT from sex or drugs accounts for only 2% of AIDS cases! 2%!!

That's almost as silly as people saying abortions are not done for convenience, when only 7% of abortions are done for any other reason.

I am sure that 2% of the men under Hitler's regime were good people. Does that mean all Nazi's were good people?

Can someone explain this to me? What date did we decide that 2% of a population adequately represents the whole?

And can SOMEONE tell me why AIDS is not a behavioral disease? The numbers say otherwise!

QUOTE "WASHINGTON - The U.S. military's top officer acknowledged on Tuesday that for all the importance of preventing Afghanistan from again harboring al-Qaida terrorists, Washington's first priority is Iraq.
"In Afghanistan, we do what we can," said Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. "In Iraq, we do what we must."....His statement, delivered with emphasis in a prepared opening statement to the House Armed Services Committee, prompted some Democrats to say it showed what they have argued for years: that the Bush administration has become so bogged down in Iraq that it cannot make more effort in Afghanistan. I find it troubling that our ongoing commitment in Iraq prevents us from dedicating resources in Afghanistan beyond what is necessary to prevent setbacks, as opposed to what is required to realize success," Rep. Ike Skelton, D-Mo., chairman of the committee, said after the hearing."...??

If you have, then can you make your case to all the other people here as why YOUR candidate is the best choice?
Please do not bash any other candidates, or parties with your reasons.

Thank You, As Always

Looking for answers that have to do with the art of deception subtrafuge and chicanery and most importantly logical fallacies.

86% of Americans have health insurance. Less than 10% of children don't have health insurance. Then there is medicare and medicaid to help cover the rest. Then there is an existing SCHIP program which covers even more, and if that's not enough, anybody in the country can go to a community hospital, and that hospital is required to treat them for free.

What do you want? Do my taxes have to pay for even more health care? Does everybody in this country have to have insurance? Are we that arrogant to think that we even have poor people in this country, when 86% have health insurance?

The problem I have with "liberalism" is that there is very little liberal about it. It should be rebranded "illiberalism"

Who thinks it's time for parents and physicians to find the real cause of depression among teenagers and young adults rather then pumping them full of anti-depressants and other meds!!! I guess our problems have caught up to us and will probably continue to until the drug industry comes out with another miracle drug to suppress depression for another 10 years!!!

Not only have those numbers been seriously inflated by disreputable sources, the amount killed by our military is a VERY tiny fraction of that amount.
Isn't it nice how people take the media skew on things? The media never actually says we killed them but insinuates it a lot.
This ought to make for interesting answers. Let me guess, We caused them to kill each other or many numbers not based in fact. Let the rhetoric begin!
