Just a quick correction. Choke holds (and believe it or not there are some that dispute that it even was a choke hold), are not illegal. They are simply against Police policy.

Yes because as we all know gerrymandering only occurs in Republican districts :rolleyes:

So now it is radical to want to put some kind of spending limits on the federal government? We are talking about the US government right, the one that is 16+ trillion in debt with 60-100 trillion in...

If you look at the median cost of a private school education it is generally far lower than the true cost of a public school education. The reason why so many people are ill informed as to the total...

It doesn't matter where you buy the iMac from there is no way to escape paying tax for it. I live in a state where the tax is 6% so it is rather high, if you live in a state with no tax you could...

Yes you are correct. I was using a standard HD 27" Display. However after I subtract the lesser processor, smaller amount of RAM, and lesser quality Graphics card the better monitor will only add...

I am not sure at exactly what is included for the $1,999 Mac build but from what you listed in your first post I was able to build a comparable PC for around $1600. The build includes the 27”...

What I want to know is where is all of the people claiming about this being a war over oil? People couldn’t help themselves falling all over that argument when the Iraq war was going on.

Also why...

I don’t recall Timothy McVey ever saying he carried out the bombing in Oklahoma City in the name of Christendom. His problem was with the government, not that he wanted to kill people in the name of...

Not sure if you are aware that there are trillions of dollars on the line if climate change legislation passes? What will be set up is a global carbon exchange in which trillions of dollars of “air”...

I never thought I would hear you say that science doesn’t matter. Should we be spending billions of dollars on something that isn’t even necessary just because one group of people thinks its better...

Did you even read my post or just quote it? If 60 Senators (that’s 60%) support a bill it doesn’t matter if 1 person denies unanimous consent to bring a bill to the floor for a vote, because all they...

First off this was not a filibuster. What is needed before a vote must be taken on a bill (before it can come to the floor) is called unanimous consent. If a senator objects to unanimous consent then...

Actually it wasn’t all in the Stock Market. It was only 10% from what I remember. And you didn’t have to put it in the stock market, much the same way as 401k’s allow several different investment...

Well the poorest in the US have access to many types of health care, on the Federal level they have access to Medicaid, which is available to the poorest of people to provide them health insurance....

The only studies I was looking at was survivability rates for 5 years after initial diagnosis/treatment (which is typical for cancer studies). The only way you were counted as being a casualty of...

I only have facts and figures to go on like cancer survival rates, patient satisfaction surveys, and specific stories in the BBC about what to think of the NHS. I am not sure how this constitutes a...

I have seen the survival rates for cancer inside the UK and it’s pretty scary, especially for the more prevalent cancers like prostate and breast cancer. I had heard that the NHS is one of the worlds...

I think that was attributed to Ben Franklin.

Bush only had one positive; he kept the country safe, that is about it. His unfunded mandates like no child left behind, and his huge increase in government by instituting Medicare Part D...

If Bush was so bad as everyone said he was then why was Obama only able to get 53% of the vote? I guess if you only watched the main stream media you would think the big O descended from on high with...

The next thing you know there might be some earthquakes or even some floods that happen somewhere! Time to retreat to the bunker and wait for the end!

I think what both of you are missing is we are not dealing with crime and criminals. These are people that have been picked up on the battlefield actively attacking the US. You cannot treat such...

A recent independent study found that the prisoners being held at Gitmo are being cared for under the Geneva Conventions. For me the question isn’t whether or not the detainees are being treated...

The US grants all of its citizens the right to a speedy trial as well as other rights as granted by the US Constitution. The US does not hold any of its own citizens without trial for indefinite...

Really? I didn't know they were changing the theory of gravity every 20 years or so like they were doing with global climate change. :rolleyes:

No offence but comparing the unproven theory of man...

Careful.....for some people man made global warming is a religion. You could be tried for heresy. :D

I'm still waiting for them to change to man made global cooling again or tell us that the ozone...

To me this said it all, "Eisenstadt's "work" had been quoted and debunked before. The Huffington Post said it had cited Eisenstadt in July on a story regarding the Hilton family and McCain."

If...

Actually it wasn’t started by any of McCains own aides as originally pointed out by MSNBC or Fox News. It turns out this was a hoax:

The problem with government today is they will not allow anyone to feel the pain that is necessary in order to erase the bad mistakes of the past. If you continue to “bail out” these companies they...

I think you absolutely have missed the point I was trying to make. I am not making comparisons about what country is the best; I simply stated that the US has a standard of living that most people...

I am sure there are a lot of people out there that don’t like America. It’s quite obvious from a lot of the posts that I have seen. However I was speaking in terms of standard of living, not in terms...

Well I am glad you can form your opinion about a whole country from a handful of people you meet while visiting. I have visited every state in this country (aside from Hawaii) and I have to say that...

Obama is an elitist. Everyone making less than he or does not have the education he thinks he has is what I meant as “lower class” (as Obama would see it). Also I would hope the president of the US...

Thats more of a response than I expected, thanks :D

Sure Ill take this on.



Untrue. You label someone as an elitist because they talk one way to their constituents and then when you don’t think you are being reordered you state how people are...

That shot looks pre-eye job.

I don’t think most people understand just how large the planet it. Sure 300 millions of gallons of gas sounds like a like to be burned every day. But just how much carbon is that and how much extra...

Which party was pushing for all people to have housing regardless of their ability to pay? Which party received the top donations from Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac? What presidential campaign has people...

No amount of regulation is going to protect the market from stupid laws. When congress decided to mandate that Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac take on loans from people who could not possibly pay them back,...
