You're acting like I want a 100 question quiz done. I just want people to understand basic things. I highly doubt it would ever happen, but that's just my thought.
Well then be specific. Explain to me like I'm a 6 year old, how some quiz should legally justify or disallow someones right to vote???

Extremely poor intelligence.
It just seems funny to me. These are the same people collecting intelligence in the NSA and such, and even international agencies (MoD), who had information/rumours about a pending attack on America before 9/11.

Why didn't we use the intelligence?!?!?!?! BUSH LET THE TOWERS FALL?!?!?!?

Yet when we did end up using intelligence, and more than one source thereof, that suggested Saddam had WMD's or was persuing them, now it's "bad Bush, war for oil."

So don't be saying "bad intelligence" if the left chooses to use it in one instance for it's advantage, and then use it as fodder for anti-Bush sentiment the next.

Quote:
We're in Iraq, which is why I say we should be in North Korea or Sudan. Those 2 are higher prioritites to me and if Bush wanted to go to war or help a country, I think he should've picked one of those instead of Iraq.
What is the point of going into N.Korea right now? We are trying to accomplish the task of disarming and negotiating dipolmatically, through the proper channels.

Yet again, another example of left-wing hypocrisy. "Why didn't we give the inspectors in Iraq more time; why didn't we use diplomacy to disarm Saddam?!?"

But now when we use diplomacy v. Kim Jong Il, it's wrong?!?!

And Sudan? There is genocide being committed in Sudan, no doubt. But again, we are already on a two front war. I'll ask again - WHERE IS THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY...Why should America have to be the first to send troops?

Quote:
Consider yourself lucky then. You are one that the US and its' people don't ignore and refuse to listen to.
Ugh...let's have a pity party now.


Quote:
Put them in rehab and then help give them a special education.
Please justify why we should spend working taxpayers dollars to do this.

Quote:
I don't think that that they're NOT trying hard. I just think they don't care.
Call it laziness, apathy, or what have you. It doesn't excuse them.

Quote:
You're damn right we are.
Feel free to continue to tighten the noose around your neck on this one, Pat. Until you cite some reliable source telling me blacks or hispanics are GENETICALLY INFERIOR to whites/europeans, then I'm going to stand by my position.

Quote:
The rich don't make the world go 'round. The people working under the rich (middle class) make the world go round. Why give the rich more money then what they already have? Greed is a bad thing.
The Middle Class bears the tax burden, no doubt; it has been this way for decades. Yet, without corporate America, and big business, the economy would collapse. The government wouldn't take in nearly enough revenue from taxes and sanctions on those companies, and the deficit will skyrocket even higher than it is now.

Quote:
Punishment doesn't work. People go into prison bad and come out worse.
We'd better just let them right back out into the community, since their such "nice" people.

Forgive me for thinking that some people are unreformable...I'd like to see what kind of "scale" you'd use to arbitrarily decide who gets to stay in prison and who is "reformed" through therapy and whatnot.

Look at the guy who shot Reagan...he didn't get time...he was sent to a mental hospital, yet he had a prior criminal record and such...do you think that someone who tries to whack the president should be turned back out into public without jail time? Who certifies he is reformed? And if/when he is, what if he kills again? I can see legal red tape and lawsuits abound here.

Quote:
Yes. I think to buy drugs you should have to be 18 or 21 (not sure which one yet). The government will regulate it and give each person who wants to buy these things a card. Certain money must be paid for this card and each time you buy a certain drug, a time limit goes on. You cannot buy a drug again until the time limit is up. The only problem with this is, that addicts will now probably die. We must help those who need help before we legalize drugs. Maybe we shouldn't legalize certain kinds of drugs either.
Addicts will die?

If you can afford the drugs, you can afford rehab. :p


Quote:
And I'm saying we shouldn't.
Do you realize why the Middle East hates America so much?


Quote:
Because sending troops into a country to kill people (i.e. Iraq) doesn't solve anything.
SO THEN WHY DO YOU WANT TO SEND AMERICAN TROOPS?!?!?!?!?!?

Quote:
The country needs money so its' army can fight off the rebels and stop the starvation.
Do you honestly think their army can fight off the rebels without UN peacekeepers or troops???

Quote:
The President is completely pro-outsource.
You cannot exist without exporting and importing, it takes out a crucial component of a national economy.

And I wouldn't say "completely" outsource, I'd appreciate a citation to support that argument.

Quote:
And I'll ask you again. If we're complaining about having to be the 'first ones to help,' then why were we the ones who insisted on going into Iraq? North Korea and Iran are more of a threat. Hell, I don't even think the 'Iraq threat' can be compared to their's.
My point is this - justify why the United States should be sending in troops, yet european superpowers are doing nothing more than throwing hapless francs into the arms of an undermanned and incapable army (that of the official Sudanese government)?

North Korea and Iran are threats, very good.

I'm surprised you haven't crapped on that, since Powell came out yesterday in a report and said Iran has black market schematics for a bomb, as well as limited amounts of enriched uranium and technology to create and deliver a nuclear warhead.
