Reply to Washington State update: Election Scandal in Politics JoeUser Forums

Actually I do believe that the most recent ballot has to be accepted, because it was a hand count was it not? Or at least in the close counties. If republicans demand another election then they will have stolen another election, and therefore I would feel justified in demanding another election now for the 2000 election, and so if Gore were to win it would declare Bush's term void and annuled, Bush would be disavowed and all the damage he has done woul

Wow, this is one of those... "law" things. Once upon a time, the way to change a law was through the democratic process; changing minds, getting out there and getting the people inspired enough to effect their legislators. Now, though, the way to change a law is to have it ruled "unconstitutional", whether the Constitution de

Believe me when I say I find this all very humorous. But let me clear a few things. I am not a woman, as you may have noticed when posting about "Not willing to have sex with a man". I was not incorrect when I referred to the Tom Clancy novel, I was merely wrong when I referred to the plot. I should have referred to a sub plot of the book. The book is Rainbow Six, and the sub plot I am referring to in detail can be found in the 880-89

Thank you for posting this. Polygamists might be a minority like homosexuals, but unlike homosexuals, they don't have representation, which is why I see people assuming the worst of them and justifying their intolerance of it. Besides, like you said, there are power struggles in all sorts of relationships, even homosexual rela

Or, for that matter, kill them on the battlefield, or "while resisting arrest". There was a Tom Clancy book based on this premise that they couldn't try them because they could never let the public know the terror threat that was planned so they killed them while resisting arrest. </fon

But reducing benefits and raising retirement age? Tell me, why should people be able to retire so young. Its because they are selfish. SELFISH. I am not trying to say this because I'm trying to raise hairs on people's backs or anger anybody, but the people are selfish to the point that they are hurting

Not even wiring a crank generator to the scrotum or nipples It seems to me I saw pictures of people with various electrods coming off said body parts.

I may be wrong on the first part but I will never agree to the second. Do you feel that rather than raise taxes to cover losses or rather than to overhaul it, we should spent another trillion dollars now and say 30 trillion dollars over the next 50 years of money we don't have (ie bonds), costing more t

Why not make kids illegal, then the problem will go away in a generation or so... Pardon? Now, I hate to say this but my gut reaction to a gay couple having children is disturbing. I think that you have to be careful about younger children who don't understand, and who thing that parents are a

Would you feel bad, knowing that, even though your opinion carried the day, thousands died anyway? Would I feel bad that they died, yes, but torture is not acceptable. Anyways, you would be more likley to get the information from the person from bribing them with special treatment or better detainment o

First lets take a look at what would happen if the government were to invest money: corruptness in the government would cause certain companies to have money invested in them. This would cause their stock prices to fall. Now, say the federal government starts selling stocks. BOOM. Collapse. By the time all the stocks are sold the stock is worthless. Also, the governemnt would have influence in the commercial world. This isnt supposed to happe

Also, if you want to talk constitution, the founders went to great lengths to make sure that the rights of the minority were upheld. These rights include not being forced to pledge allegience to a flag "under god". Also, please note that the founders of this country went to great length to SEPERATE church and state.

Reply to Atheist Files New Suit, with Parents, Over 'Under God' in Politics JoeUser Forums

I think that really the "Under god" should be removed, because it really is wrong, and the In god we trust be replaced with In America we trust. The all-seeing eye could be the eye of righteousness or the eye of America or of the government, so that doesn’t have to be removed, but Annuit Coeptis needs to go too. The "Under God" was added during the Cold War with the USSR to differentiate them as an atheist nation. While this was not really fine, becaus

You want me to fly into the heartland of Iraq, you want me to fly to Osama Bin Laden, and ask him what his motives are.

CO status is very tricky to ...understand I guess. You see, personally, I can not kill another person, I would not be able to do it for any other reason than to protect my life or the life of my family or the life of other loved ones or possibly even an innocent bystander, and I mean in imminent direct danger when I mean to protect the life. I would absolutley not be able to personally fire the shot that killed a soldier, or more importantly an innocen
