Politics, News & Issues > Terrorism 9/11 and the towers
9 of 36

The Fanatical Terrorists that were Brainwashed into commiting their Heinous acts were on a mission to ignite World Wide War, ... ahem, sorry, I meant World Wide Jihad. Jihad. "Holy War" the miscreants scream. Theirs was a mission conjured up by Utter Evil. It's just that plain simple. To the Grossly Misinformed "conspiracy t... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Political & Economic Theory Judging the doctrine of pre-emptive strike
8 of 28

Preemptive strike is just what the doctor is ordering these days. It is wise to smite down your enemy before he inflicts harm unto you. I see no reason for a country to wait for a consensus of the world body or for the enemy to carry out the first strike. Preemptive Strike is desirable when the the threat is either immediate...

Politics, News & Issues > War & Peace Why countries go to war
25 of 69

Why do humans War? One word says it all: POWER. That is the common denominator across the entire history of mankind. Yes there have been countless wars fought using Religion as it's basis, and a few that used self defense as a basis, and many using revolution as it's basis, even at least one that used indignation as a basis ...

Politics, News & Issues > Politics in the Middle & Near East The Israeli and Palestinian conflict: Searching for solutions
18 of 47

How can peace be accomplished when generation after generation of Palestinians have been schooled (both in their academic studies and at home) to hate and revile the Israelis? The same also holds for Israelis, although to a much lesser degree. It certainly seems clear that there are many in the middle east that desire the de... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Presidential Elections 2008 Is John McCain, now in his 70s, too old to serve as president?Smallicon
6 of 14

If we can have Supreme Court Justices serving in their 70's and 80's then why not a President? How many politicians are in their 70's? I honestly don't know but would wager there are a substantial number of politicians still serving and voting and making decisions. How old was Ronal Reagan while in office? What about Jimmy C...

In the past few years an alarming number of people have financed their homes with a mortgage that goes by many names. It is called the Flex Pay mortgage. Sometimes it is called the Pay Option Loan. Other times it is called the MTA Loan. Just to name a few. The salesperson will try to dazzle you with a "Guaranteed Low Minimum... More..

Politics, News & Issues > War in Iraq Why Bush wants war
16 of 29

Why Bush, Saddam, Bin Laden, Ahmadinegad, Jong Il and others ALL wanted War should be the topic. All of the above have reasons and they each have large stakes in the results of a global conflict. To their constituents each leader was more or less successful in gaining approval. We'll start with Bush: In my humble opinion, Bu... More..

Parenting & Pregnancy > After School Should parents raise their children without television?Smallicon
76 of 122

It can be argued that having no TV in the house greatly enhances childrens creative ability as well as their ability to learn. Not to mention saving parents serious money (They won't be begging for a zillion different toys and stuff if they don't see the commercials...). Starting from infancy on, if there is no television to... More..

Politics, News & Issues > War in Iraq Analyzing Bush's decision to enter Iraq
39 of 62

I just have to correct the writer who thinks that the Shiites dominated Iraq under Hussein. It was the other way around. The Sunnis dominated. Iraq is a complex country that I believe was 3 separate countries formed into one after World War 1. Kurdistan no longer exists due to the fall of the Ottoman Empire after WW1. There ... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Political & Economic Theory Why we should abandon government: Arguments for anarchy
13 of 20

"Anarchy" is a concept which is impossible to maintain for the human race due to our basic instincts of Survival. Invariably there will always be groups of people who assert themselves over others and there will be other groups of people with opposing assertions with the end result, over time, being some form of government i...
