As the emissaries, dignitaries, ambassadors and 'self-appointed representatives' of the concerned countries gathered in Indonesia, it only served the greater good of mankind that Gore would castigate America while peace and prosperity was sweeping throughout Darfur.

Who dares say the UN is worthless?

1) Lowering the value of the dollar is good.
2) Lower or get rid of minimum wage.

Okay, I can see an argument for either one or the other. But being used together? Yeah, it'll help businesses, but is it worth blasting the working class?

I was reading an editorial in my school newspapers, and the writer claimed that if we leave Iraq, Iran will invade Iraq, take over the oil, and then jack up the price to hurt the U.S. economy. Of course he didnt cite any expert sources to back up this prediction, so I was more than hesitant to belive this hunch.

Do you think this would be a likely reactio to our pull out from Iraq?

Bush has signed over a thousand signing which is 600 more than all the presidents combined in history. A signing statement vitually allows him to ignore any part of a law and simply act or weild power the way he so chooses. I'm putting this question out there for those who really understand power and management.

Did he really utter such a thing?

They talk about how important American freedoms are, but they want to quash dissent. What kind of freedom is it that can't stand criticism?

Fitzgerald point blank stated that she was.

This is a simple, "Yes," or, "No," question.

Sharpton first gained national attention in 1987 when he supported Tawana Brawley, a 15-year-old black girl, who claimed she was gang raped by 6 white men, some of them cops, in the village of Wappingers Falls, New York. She fabricated the whole story, but Sharpton supported her till the end of the case. And he has never apologized for his involvment in the case. That was the beginning of his career, & hopefully this will be the end.

Rev. Al Sharpton is at the center of a federal investigation. The FBI & IRS want Sharpton's financial records dating back to 2001. The agencies' officials say they want to know whether Sharpton incorrectly stated the amount of money he raised during his 2004 presidential campaign. Officials are specifically investigating whether he fudged the figures in order to illegally obtain federal matching funds. Federal officials are also investigating claims of tax fraud, including whether Sharpton mixed funds from his non-profit group, National Action Network, with several of his "for-profit" ventures. As many as 10 of Sharpton's friends & employees have been subpoenaed; however Sharpton has not.

Simply round up all the nuts that buy into this "Global Warming" nonsense and blast them off to Mars -- that planet isn't going to need to worry about Global Warming anytime soon.

As an extra benefit to this plan, the United States will again become productive with hard working people striving to better their lifes, living the American Dream (Capitalism). Terrorists will be erraticated (automatic death penalty), taxes will go DOWN (since we're disposing of the slime via death penalty, there is no need to fund waste-of-space prisons) and life on Earth will drastically improve.

I can't see any flaws? We may get lucky and most of the space craft units will get lost on the way to Mars -- that way we wouldn't have to hear extraterrestrial communications moaning about "Global Colding"

The state dept. states that Halburton can not be held accountable for what happens in Iraq because they are not held under either Iraqi nor American laws.

Her name is: Jamie Leigh Jones...they drugged her, violently raped her and then forbid her to use the phone or press charges after she went to the clinic and had a rape kit performed. THEN she was LOCKED into a cell! This is an American woman who was trying to make something of her life. It wasn't until a sympathetic guard let her use his cell phone and where she called her parents and told them what had happened that she was actually freed after her Dad's intervention.

The rape kit came back positive, but the Dr. for a short period of time "Misplaced" the kit because, "there are so many rapes of American woman in Iraq that they would have a hard time finding the rape kit."

It seems to me like conservatives are very scared right now. They resort to silly, anti-humanist expressions so often that it just makes them bankrupt. Example: Jonah Goldberg saying we should "Give War a Chance": http://www.neoflux.com/archive/data/2001/1009-102400.shtml

Isn't this just frightened insanity? Why do the conservatives have to defend the status quo and the current system so vociferously? Was there really a possibility of getting rid of war that needed a defense of it?

My point is this: How afraid are conservatives that they have to defend inhuman, brutal, and violent practices? Whether peace or war is appropriate, I'd rather have my goal as world peace than "giving war a chance." That's cowardly.

Here's my criteria for who I'll give best answer to:
1. I'll give the best answer to anyone that disagrees with me in a reasonable way.
2. If no one does, best answer goes to the person who agrees with me the most reasonable way.
3. whoever mentions Bush most.
