Politics, News & Issues > Bush Administration Should Bush's Attorney General Alberto Gonzales resign?: 8 of 23
What scares me are the folks who answer No. Not because they feel he should not. That is what America is about. I am scared because of their reasoning, the same reasoning that lets the war go on and this president get away with repeatedly lying to the public. Mr. Gonzales may well serve at the pleasure of the President but h... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Political Issues Should mentally ill people be allowed to vote?: 15 of 43
"it ultimately is better to have more important choices left to more informed individuals." So writes one person for the "No." side of the debate. "Children aren't clamoring to vote and neither are most mentally ill. Rather, political activists are drumming up discontent- no longer content to scream for blood and chaos, they... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Presidential Elections 2008 Will Hillary Clinton ever be president?: 20 of 57
Many of the articles under this title are hateful of Ms. Clinton. If we write about a candidate emotional perceptions and feelings are important, but to answer the question posited requires more than mere subjective writing. Feeling and emotion have nothing to do with why others should or should not vote for Senator Clinton.... More..
Politics, News & Issues > People in the News Paris Hilton: Does justice favor the rich?: 13 of 36
Yes, and it is the justice system and not the court of public opinion about which we are being asked our opinion. One writer feels that "No. it does not because of the "isolation" and "public distrust" against, in their instance, O.J. Simpson and Robert Blake. That 'sentence' is one the public decreed, not the court. In the ... More..
Politics, News & Issues > War in Iraq Cindy Sheean's campaign against the War in Iraq shames dead son's heroism: 7 of 19
How dare anyone suggest that this woman who mourns her son shames his memory. Lest we forget that is what this country is about and what so many dead in many wars, NOT THIS ONE, gave their lives for. Bill of Rights Amendment I Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercis... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Homeland Security Why does America always seem to have an enemy?: 10 of 26
The political reasons aside, and this administration has allowed the enemy pool to grow by leaps and bounds, the reason is a simple human one. Man * can only feel good if he knows bad. He can only see ugly if he has looked at beauty. How can man feel good about himself if he does not know how it feels to feel bad about one's... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Gender Issues Marriage for homosexuals: 20 of 50
I am appalled at the amount of hatred such a simple question can arouse. Especially when the person spewing the hatred talks about the abhorrence he feels when homosexuals are "roaming about these days" It is always people who talk about their religious and moral values that want to deny others their rights. Unless their act... More..
Politics, News & Issues > War in Iraq Critiques of today's anti-war protesters: 6 of 15
I am a protester. I don't wear my heart on my sleeve but I carry the numbers of American dead and wounded on the front and back of my car in red, white, and blue duct tape. I also give the estimated number of Iraqi dead. It is a sad commentary that some who are for the war feel that calling names, including traitor and stupi... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Comparative Religion Finding the right religion: 11 of 27
There is more to the question than on the face of it. In and of itself finding the right religion is somewhat easy. Do you believe Jesus was a wise man or do you think he is 'The Son of God." Do you think Islam has the answers for you? Is a more esoteric religion - some of which many people would not consider a religion, suc... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Politics, News & Issues (Other) Voter apathy and its effect on democracy in the U.S.: 20 of 49
It is interesting that the other article is about voting irregularities. The turnout has been low for many, many years. In 2004, for instance, the national voter turnout was 55.3% (source: http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0781453.html ) Sadly I think some of it is the Kitty Genovese effect; everyone assumes the other guy will ...
