The next was in 1876 when Rutherford Hayes won 185-184. Samuel Tilden won the popular vote by 264,292. After much controversy the one vote victory stood. But to understand why, we go back to the debates that created the Electoral College. One of the major issues during the Constitutional Convention was the balance of powe
Doc... what is your response to my sticker?
Maybe you could explain to me just *how* he's a *sore looser*! umm Doc, maybe you might want to look at the bigger picture. The problem here is that we have an unfair reputation... which is personified and extended with someone like Bush acting as our spokesperson in the world. Not something I'm too hap
How about 59 *proven* outright LIES in F911? How about the biggest? Can you truthfully prove GW Bush had ties to Osama bin Laden? The movie did a pretty good job. Now, how about the <TD class="mb-Body-Quote-Te
Well.. Helix the II locked the Evolution, Fact or Theory post. So I am continuing it on my own post. Quote from Helix the II: My concern isn't circled around intent and you do agree, Daiwa, that it is unlawful (no matter how much sense it makes to you) for the judge to declare the sticker unconstitutional, since nowhere is religion endorsed, enspoused, or forced upon anyone. It isn't suggested you
Jon Stewart is leftist, but he is reasonable. Further, not only is he not a "journalist", he goes so far as to say he is a "fake journalist presenting fake news". Now, if anyone has read America the Book, then they would know that he pokes fun at John Kerry as much as at Bush. I quote "And upon being slapped at birth, John Kerry applied for and was awarded the first of 23 purple hearts" *the number 23 might not be the right number in the book, but you
Well... he got off with 10 years. I for one am outraged. The maximum sentence was 15 years- still too little, but instead of giving him even that they gave him a below maximum term? I don't believe it. If I, as a private citizen, were to do what he did, I would be sentenced to more than 15 years for say 15 counts of assaul
The problem with things becoming "public domain" after a certain length of time is seen when looking to Disney: They take products off the market after a certain period, usually for 10, 15 years, and then they re-release the product (usually in DVD format as opposed to the original VHS product). In the mean time, should bambi have become public domain? I think not. Oh, and the problem with the Bill Gates analogy is that even if Bill

It's not the government's responsibility to force everyone to live healthfully. But the government has an interest in doing so, because other wise we have to pay their health care bills when the reach retirment. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class="mb-Body-Quote
In February 2001, the CIA delivered a report to the White House that said: “We do not have any direct evidence that Iraq has used the period since Desert Fox to reconstitute its weapons of mass destruction programs.” The report was so definitive that Secretary of State Colin Powell said in a subsequent press conference, Saddam Hussein “has not developed any significant capability with respect to weapons of mass destruction.” Ten months before
From CBS: (CBS) Senior administration officials tell CBS News the President’s mistaken claim that Iraq tried to buy uranium from Africa was included in his State of the Union address -- despite objections from the CIA. Now, because I know you won't consider that credible: From BBC: Doubts about a claim that Iraq had tried to buy uranium from the African state of Niger were aired 10 months before Mr Bush included the allegation in his key
Doc... there is something wrong with the link you provided. I honestly can't explain it... but if you look at it you will see that Japan has a higher number but is ranked lower. There are other discrepancies like this. Now, if we use the CIA's listing, the USA is #49. Not so great, considering we are the wealthiest large country. <a href="http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/rankorder/2102r
1.) ALL accords were written in Sweden NOT the US! Hence the name *Geneva* accords. First, you are either carless, dumb or uneducated. Geneva is in Switzerland. Second, they were written not by switzerland but rather in switzerland by many countries, but mostly the USA.
International treaties should not have a bearing on a countries internal laws! So what should they have an effect on? The United States is one of the worst countries in this regard: It makes laws, but feels it has the right to break them. I would personally like to see some convictions in the
Obesity is an epidemic in the United States. While we see this as a problem (most people don't enjoy being obese), most people fail to see the true consequences of this. The United States still doesn't have world high life expectancy, but this is only going to change as more and more people become fat. From Forbes.com: "If you want to look better, if you want to feel better, you lower your calorie intake, you lower your fat, your cra
Well well well... he still hasn't learned to use his best grammer when in front of 14 journalists.
In light of the recent (and I believe righteous) ruling in Georgia regarding a sticker warning that evolution (specifically and ONLY evolution) is a theory and should be taken with a grain of salt, the question I have is how come Alabama is getting away with evolution murder. As appears in Alabama's biology books: This textbook discusses evolution, a controversial theory some scientists
Wrong answer. I don't know what industry you work in but you ever heard of compassionate leave? Maybe you should look it up. And BTW, if they were right then how come they backed off and offered her the job back? Why? Because they knew if it came to court, they'd lose! Actually, I believe that someone a
Get it RIGHT! Bush falsified NOTHING! He just parroted what he was told by his supposed intelligence angencies. So your precious Democrats ate the same line of BS that Bush did! Your spin on this, ain't changing it. He just parroted what he was told even though it was told with a disclaimer that it migh
BS!!!! Don't say there's no left-wing sniping here, cause that's crap. You seem to forget that democrats also believed the same shit Bush did and OK'd the use of force in Iraq. NO. WRONG. They took the liberty to trust our C.I.C., a mistake that will NOT be made again. Bush falsified things to congress
Cancer... isn't that contagious.. I sure as hell wouldn't want my children around anybody with *that* Ok seriously now, I feel that the school district was completley within it's rights to say resign or we will fire you, and the reason for this is she used 10 sick days. I don't care if they were a) leave with out pay b) leave with pay or c) leave without pay and benefits. In my industry, when an employee is missing work, they get the
Well... talking about money: Does anybody else find it very strange that one of the sattelite radio services payed 100 Million dollars a YEAR for Howard Stern to join their group for 10 years? Thats a BILLION dollars over 10 years. For doing a radio show. Crazy if you ask me. Now, onto the topic: I don't really think 40 million is that big of a deal. While I strongly propose fiscal responsability, 40 million is the cost (I as
Well... the Astroturf I know is ugly... so I can see how they don't want that to replace a traditional lawn. That being said, citys tend to try to exert too much force over the residents in manners to home construction. I know, because I am building a new house. I had a bit of a disagreement with a neighbor who thought my house was too big (actually I think they were just jealous). The city decided (after they had approved the house), that I was going
Actually, Michigan law also applies to the privacy of minors from their parents. And they should have a right to privacy. If the parents feel otherwise, they can choose to disallow the use of the telephone. Other wise, you will respect the wishes to privacy of any and all people, including your children.
