The only one who supports big oil? I have no problems with the large oil companies themselves, but I think that the taxes levied on gasoline are just a way to divert flak for taxes from itself to the oil companies(who most people blame for any and a...  [Read More]

interesting case, but I don't think it really has any particular effect on the population at large, unless it stimulates new laws or reworking of old ones, or generates some kind of landmark court case. I'm not going to blame the parents for going t...  [Read More]

Link (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070909/ap_po/thompson_evangelicals) Looks like the neo-conservatives may be without a candidate this election. Maybe the fundies are without a "favorite son," but I still see several pro-war, big-governm...  [Read More]

I can see only one scenario, barring an outright win in the primary(as if that's going to happen), for Ron Paul to have any impact on the general election: by garnering the vote of the anti-war crowd. hypothetical circumstances: 1.Pro-war republican...  [Read More]

A friend of mine joined the Marines and they paid for his college after he came home. Eastern KY is one of the places with the largest number of recruits per-capita in the US, and many people from here have used the military as a way to further their...  [Read More]

No, there actually is a scientific theory explaining why ships tend to sink in areas like the Bermuda Triangle and the other Triangle of ship sinkings in the South Pacific, and I recall Mythbusters tested one aspect of it, and were able to sink norma...  [Read More]

We've been hearing a lot about unidentified flying objects for the past 60 years ago, especially during and immediately after the second world war. Are they hoaxes (I know some have been disproved), or is there a possibility that some of the sighting...  [Read More]

This is one of the main reasons I quit christianity in the first place. There's simply no way to prove they exist, much less that they tell us to do "bad things." What little pseudo-empirical evidence that the belief in demons was first ju...  [Read More]

Well if the Bush administration can stall the process long enough, I'm sure they can side step any further investigation until Bush's term is over. I don't doubt it. But, if I'm not mistaken, if they find anything on Bush by then they won't have to...  [Read More]

Part of the reason is how accessible guns are, but if Americans are kill happy what does that make people in the Middle East? Most murders are carried out with weapons that are illegally obtained in the first place. I'll dig up a statistic later, if...  [Read More]

Answer? He's different. It's really a Vote of No Confidence in the current system. Might as well have the "No Confidence" Party...which offers "No One" as a President candinate. It ensures that people don't have to boycott the pol...  [Read More]

I still don't like any of the "serious" candidates in this race. Unless things change, I'll probably vote for whoever the Libertarians nominate. Of course, a Giuliani-Paul ticket would be rather interesting, and it would work out nicely if...  [Read More]

The problem is that people are unwilling to think before they act. Alcohol, drugs, guns - they're objects, nothing more, and can hold no more blame or responsibility than any other inanimate object: none. ^QFE Something needs to be done, probably...  [Read More]

I think there is a real accountability problem here in the US, but I can't speak for other countries. It seems like whenever someone commits a crime they can blame it on something, be it drugs, alcohol, social pressure, or even video games, and magi...  [Read More]

Personally I think that the entire illegal immigration issue is a symptom of a larger underlying problem: the need for meaningful welfare reform. There must be a way to get all those jobs that "Americans just won't do" done without illegal...  [Read More]

And that is why, short of another terror attack(which isn't all that unlikely), whoever the Democrats nominate will be a shoe-in at the general election. Although I'm still hoping that Ron Paul can somehow pull off the nomination......  [Read More]

Frankly, I think Bush has done more to undermine the sanctity of the Constitution than any president in the last 150 years. The only President to have taken such sweeping "emergency" powers was Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War, but Bush...  [Read More]
