Forgive me for saying, but it probably means they're too stupid to vote.
I'm surprised. I think Alan Colmes would have a heart attack.

Do you realize by saying that, you're taking away many of the minority votes that went to John Kerry???

The Constitution can be amended. As long as you know why you're voting for who you are, then vote.
Forgive my sarcasm, but I don't think we should amend the constitution to restrict peoples rights to vote. We might as well repeal the 13th Amendment.

What about North Korea and Iran? Both have WMDS. Why was Iraq looked at first? Just because Saddam was the leader? What makes him more dangerous then Kim Jong or the leader of Iran? About genocide, it's happening in Sudan.
What makes him more of a threat? Intelligence did. Saddam and his middle eastern cronies are, at this point, in the middle of a hotbed that has existed for centuries, going back to the Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal empires.

As I've said before, while we have to confront all of these issues, we went by what intelligence (US and international) was a threat. We also removed the source of that threat.

Considering how anti-war the liberals are, I'm surprised you aren't applauding our current diplomatic strategies with N.Korea and Sudan?

I don't think you understand where I'm coming from. I don't exactly live in the National Honor Society of America.
That's just one place. Other places, like my school for instance, EVERYONE I KNEW went off to college, either in-or-out of state. I know 1 kid who didn't go off, and the other kids enrolled in the army or ROTC of some sort. Some marines, actually.


Quote:
If people drop out of school and don't get an education, do you know what will happen? That's right. Welfare, then that would start a whole new mess. Like I said, there are kids who are drug addicts. They don't realize the mistake they're making. They deserve a 2nd chance if they ever overcome it.
Taxpayers currently pay for their first chance: public education. The NCLB allows them to use the vouchers to get out of their district if it isn't up to standards. They have the best opportunities possible.

And taxpayers end up paying for welfare. I mean, how many "2nd chances" do we give people who choose to squander their opportunities? I mean, we have GED classes and such...there are plenty of opportunities for those who want it.

What about the people who are content to sit on their asses, collect welfare, and buy drugs???

And I'll introduce you to the lovely minorities and Whites at my school who could give 2 shits about anything. Asians, Indians, and Middle Easterns, IMO, are the hardest working people that come to this country. What about the Blacks and Hispanics at your school?
Like every mass generalization, there are two sides. There are some very dedicated foreigners, and in my opinion, more undedicated ones. But that's from my perspective.

Maybe if I was getting college for free, I wouldn't try as hard either.

Quote:
They DO need extra help. There are many Blacks and Hispanics who can't grasp things as easy as Whites, even if they try hard. It's a huge problem.
GIVE ME A BREAK

Are we now going to get into some kind of ethnic/intelligence scale? Please.

I didn't say to tax them. Let's get those fellas making over $200,000 a year.
They're getting taxed. Especially on capital gains.

BTW, where is this magical tax fix you liberals think exists?

BTW Pt 2: Rich people make the world go 'round.

Quote:
EXACTLY. We need more rehabs in this country. Sending people to prison only makes things worse. People can still be violent and do drugs in prison.
Yes, but there is also too much 'rehab' or therapy when punishment is in order...at least in my opinion.

Quote:
I have some very strong feelings on drugs and I agree with you, but I think their should be an age limit to buy them. I think it should be handled just like alcohol.
Right, similar to alcohol. But probably even more restrictive, I suppose.

Quote:
If we take an isolationist route now, it's going to be like spitting on our allies in this war when they ask for our help and we don't give it.
I didn't say take a huge left turn off the bridge :p

I'm saying, we need to MOVE towards isolationism, not an immediate withdrawal.

Quote:
Sudan.
Nice. So explain to me why they don't send troops, in addition to francs?

Quote:
I figured you agreed with Bush and that we should outsource.
Foreign trade is a necessity. But I didn't think the President was completely pro-outsource.

Quote:
What if South Korea is attacked by North Korea? Should we not help them?
I'll say again...why do WE always have to be the first ones to help? Europe is certainly capable of protecting her interests, it's not always our job to be first responders. Let's see how long Europe lasts w/o US involvement.
