To American_girl65 The surplus the Col refers to is a BUDGET surplus. That means a year in which revenue exceeds spending. The COL is correct in his statement that the US had BUDGET surpluses in 98, 99 & 2000. What you are referring to is the National Debt. Let's make an analogy to better understand the differen

Hell if totalitarianism was a proven system that worked and let people live freely and decide their own life than hell I wouldn't mind it. Problems reside when people lose the choice to decide their own life. Personally I don't wholeheartedly agree with Democracy but that is not my choice it is the choice of the majority. From the gist of what you are saying China should decide Taiwan

I can't believe somebody could be that de...politically challenged. Draft, was she completely daft to think of the draft? Oh well that and the draft will only come back if all 2 million dissappear and everybody quits joining the military. (sigh) - GX

Drmiler just doews not get it about the annual surples that we had in 98,99 $ 2000. Well let's see: 1. No War on Terrorism. 2. WTC still standing. 3. Taxes were higher. 4. Still feeling the effects of the dot com bubble but by 2000 it sta

Or can we all agree that every American has a right to their opinion and a right to express it? Should entertainers stay out of politics? <TABLE cel

I stand 100% behind Taiwan wanting it's own decisions, if the people vote to join China that is fine, but China does not and should not take Taiwan by force, I just hope the US will not give up on Taiwan, not to mention Taiwan makes alot Electronic stuff that the US uses. Microchips, motherboards, etc. This should be Taiwan's decision all the way, and for the most part I consider people from Taiwan, Taiwanese not Chinese. They have established them

Good article, glad you posted it here. UN has proven itself to not function properly so my belief is it should go the way of the League of Nations and a new one should be founded fixing mistakes that were made in the previous two. Did you know Sudan got back onto the Humanitarian Council? Sudan is a country that is an example of Humanitarianism? HA! - GX

Oh besides South Korea having our backs in a worse case scenario with North Korea, Japan would also give support since it is in their backyard as well. - GX

The U.S. has been the world's watchdog for quite some time. Remember Vietnam? One word: France. Mike Reagan (President Reagans son) may be a republican but he's a Kerry fan!

I thought the idea was funny, but yeah it was sort of impropriate but they dealt with the guy same day, not a week later or month later. - GX

This was pointed out by Lee1776 on a similar thread. Reply #17 By: Citizen Lee1776 - 9/30/2004 10:49:40 PM I did notice one thing that may help change this from a tie to a win for Bush. Early in the debate Kerry said that Saddam was not a threat. Bush counte

Well, if you really wanted to be conspiracy minded, creating easily identified forged documents about something that was true and then "leaking" them so your camp ends up with deniability about the content of such documents would seem to be a smart political play. Because if real documents surfaced confriming those facts, well, t

Actually if you would have read about the history of the Pledge you'd recognize that it was changed from what many would consider a PC version (the original version) to include "God" in the last 50 years. I knew that and the original post was made of jest not seriousness. The second post clarifies that

Me from the future says Kerry wins Be wary though that 'me' from the future could be from the future of a alternate universe. For all we know in a surprise last second nomination The Teddy Roosevelt Robot could win in a landslide election. <

BUT THAT BUSH STINKS Well tell him to take a shower!! - GX

I thought wiccianism was the belief in witchcraft or something of that nature. Guess I was wrong. Not quite, Wicca is more of the religion. Some of those of Wicca practice witchcraft, but not all of those who practice witchcraft are Wiccan. Wicca

The visible presence of US troops in South Korea has substantilly prevented incursions by north. I think troops in South Korea is more of deterrent than actual forward point, after all as long as the US is there in South Korea, Ole Kimmy Boy will not try anything funny, we hope, though it would be nice

No Sir, I missed nothing! The man made a statement about why he would vote for Kerry. One of the reasons given was that Kerry would get French toops involved in Iraq. I simply refuted *that* portion of his statement and then gave a link to back up my statement. You are missing the sarcasm, Doc.

It would be nice to get some of the 'Red Herring' Issues out of politics. (sigh) - GX

I am sorry if this sounds rascist, but statistically the Blacks will be less likley to have experience with technology based on the fact that more of them live in inner cities and are poorer, and because of this more are considered illiterate. So you are saying because it is statistically feasible, tha

Racism whether done by two of different races or done by two of the same race is still racism; even reverse racism is still racism. Never look at a person for the color of their skin but look at the person, as an individual color should never matter. I think that statement above by that leader was complete and utter idiocy from her(?), and as such they need a new leader or new represent
