Did you ever read the publication by the League of Women voters? They clearly outline these types of issues. You can pick up a copy of this at a local library or town hall, they are a nonpartisan (well...in all honesty, a smidgen liberal) organization.

Problem solved.
Yeh, EVERY SINGLE American will do that. :rolleyes:

What do Kerry and Clinton have to do with this? They've all cut defense, but Clinton cut the defense in record numbers.
If you want to talk record numbers, let's talk about how Clinton slashed the deficit in HALF, while Bush has the highest one ever.

Quote:
Err...but diplomacy was working in Iraq, RIGHT?!?
It's working in Iran and North Korea though, right?

Quote:
You have no idea what european elitism and politics entails, clearly by your support for the world community.
And you have no idea about what could happen with the future of our country if you want it handled the way you do.

Quote:
Apparently you're not getting the idea that your argument is redundant, by being against a unilateral war and then being for another in the same context.
It's not the same context.

Quote:
Good. I just wanted you to see that you clearly know less about what's going on than the President and the government.
Of course I know less than the government, but saying I know less then the President is stretching it.

Quote:
Gee, since we weren't at war with those "nice" Soviets, we're we? And plus, the Soviets were having fun with their massacre of Afghanistan and such, why not support an anti-Soviet movement?
Hey, while we're at it, lets give money to the Palestinian terrorists in Israel too!

Quote:
w00t. How many times did you boy Clinton go, and NOTHING HAPPENED. Hmm...your argument is futile.
Clinton's presidency and his numerous visits preety much made peace in Israel until 1996. In 1996, Israel's prime minister at the time did something as some sort of Palestinian church. I can't think of what it was. My UN Club teacher was telling us about it Tuesday.

Quote:
Sorry. During the Cold War, Russia WAS the terrorists.
This is where we don't see eye to eye. A communist isn't a terrorist, IMO. Fidel Castro isn't a terrorist. The NVA and Ho Chi Minh weren't terrorists. Enemies? Yes. Communists? Yes. Terrorists? No.

Until the age of 16, we have truency laws. But if the kid doesn't work anyways, then what?
Then they'll obviously go on welfare.

Quote:
Really?
Yes.

Quote:
Better yet, rather than dump more money into a committee, we could STOP GIVING PEOPLE MONEY and force them to get off their asses if they've been on or no longer meet the qualifications. And reform SSI as long as we're at it.
Look at all of the committees FDR made during the Depression and WW II.

Another chance to rape some other innocent girl?
Or another chance of life.

Quote:
I thought, according to you, the youth were apathetic and didn't care about their education.

Which is it Pat?
Where did I say that ALL of the youth are lazy? Also, appointing someone young doesn't mean a teenager. People in their early or late 20's are young.

Quote:
Right here...
I said there are BARELY ANY. I didn't say there weren't any! And compared to small businesses, there are BARELY ANY big businesses! (95% to 5%)

Quote:
Then why did you say he'd be in the American lower-class.
I didn't say the AMERICAN lower class. I said he'd be part of THE lower class!

Quote:
Restrict business, since the economy is clearly flourishing.
A flourishing economy means that we're in a prosperity stage. Are you nuts?

Quote:
Let's give everyone money so they don't have to work...

...but where will the money come from if nobody works...
All the people on welfare deserve to get money if they try to get a job. The government should have more restrictions on who gets it, but they DON'T. I don't see George attemping to fix that.

Quote:
All costing the taxpayers millions each year...
Which is why taxes need to be raised.

Quote:
Let's not rationalize. So if she doesn't die, or was aiming for someone else, it's okay?
Show me where I said it was ok. Show me. Thanks. I didn't say it was ok, so don't say I did and stop saying that I said things I didn't. If she doesn't die, then it's obviously not murder or homicide.

Quote:
Do you have ANY concept of right or wrong?
Do you have any concept of listening to the other side. Seems like you have Hannity syndrome.

Quote:
Meanwhile, Stalin was committing mass genocide across his own country as well. Maybe that's why...he was a tad busy himself with dead bodies.
Genocide. Do you really want to go there?

Quote:
So what? That means they can't send troops?
Answer my question.

Quote:
The world hates us because America is the greatest country, period. A champion of human rights and personal freedoms. The Middle East hates us because we support Israel. Europe hates us because we didn't have to go throught a bajillion revolutions to emerge as a powerful nation, and they are a bunch of elitist prats.
Personal freedoms? What about the freedom for two men or two women to get married? Europe hates us because we're in Iraq.

Quote:
Yeah...I forgot. You think Social Security is a perfect system.

You're history teacher is bloody amazing.
Where did I say it was a perfect system? Just because I like it the way it is now, doesn't mean I think it's perfect. I don't have history this year. I have World Cultures.

If nothing else, this proves you didn't read my statement in the now notorious other thread. Try reading it, and then get back to me.
Answer my question.
