I'm currently reading "Locked in the Cabinet" by Robert Reich (Clinton's Secretary of Labour) and he seems to corroborate what was said about the Clintons, especially Hillary

Now you wanna lock up cops guns? I'm sorry, I guess locking up your guns when there are kids in your house is a crazy, incomprehensible idea. My bad.

You don't like my idea? fine. Then come up with a better one. And don't use more gun control since the last 2 shootings were done with guns stolen from cops! Were the guns used in the Red Lake shooting locked up? Was the ammo locked up? Could "they" have done more for the kid to prevent him from going

Honestly, there are some teachers at my school I would not feel safe around if they were armed. Agreed. Plus the chance that a 200 pound kid who is the star of the ______ team innocently approaching the 110 pound female teacher, then not so innocently reaching for her gun with the element of surprise.

3.Made a decision to turn thinking over to moderates so we can understand life. Why is it that moderates are better than everyone else, and people on the far left/right are worse?

But let me add that life was further from a utopia before colonialism began. The Africans had been enslaving, sacrificing, eating and generally massacring each other long before Europeans arrived in Africa (and in greater numbers). The Zulus are said to have depopulated their and surrounding regions by over 50%. The Cherokee here

History has proven that the US doesn't support democracies. It has proven that the US supports capitalist governments of any type who are friendly to foreign (American) investors. Remember 9/11/1973

Yeah, I guess you're right. They are decades away from making an AI that can consistently beat me, the master of all things Political Machine.

1. Download the patch. I had that problem until I downloaded the patch. 2. It's not in the game. From what I understand, they took it out for some reason, but forgot to take it out of the instruction manual. 3. A question mark shows up on the map. Fly to the state with the question mark, and it will occur (either you get a good or bad operative, or you get or lose money through lawsuits or rich donors). A red question mark mean

Gideon, I find it interesting that I agree with you on pretty much all 4, yet you describe yourself as a libertarian and I tend to be pretty much a socialist, which tends to make us pretty much opposites. Plus I also favor ending the war on drugs, which has recently claimed the lives of 4 RCMP officers in Alberta. Interesting how we tend to be opposites and agree on this.

Not a lot of people play a lot online. If you have messenger, you can give me your adress and we can play sometime. I assume you like to play as a dem, which kinda sucks because so do I. Oh well, time to bring out Lafollette

good luck with that. It's hard to debate why it is anyone's business (why do I care if Bill and Bob get married?) or how to justify denying people the right to marry. Looks like my country is going to be the 3rd to allow same-sex marriage. Hooray for civil rights!

I don't think anyone is old enough to be murdered by the state. I guess that's why my country hasn't executed anyone in over 40 years.

I suspect that the computer tends to cheat on higher difficulties. I did an experiment to try to prove this: First, I created a custom candidate with zero stamina. I tried to play as him, and couldn't leave his home state of Alaska because I needed a point of stamina to fly to another state. My opponent (I think it was Adlai Stevenson) won every state except Alaska, and got something like 97% of the popular vote. Then I played against the

I find it ironic how people say my country hates America, yet when you look at ProgressiveUSA's first post, you get a bit of a different picture. There, we don't hate America, we just don't like Bush! A little off topic, but whatever

You need more than just a token female candidate, you need a good female candidate. For example, up here, we've had 3 women candidates with major parties. Alexa McDonough and Audrey McLaughlin (sp?) were both NDP candidates in the 90s, but since the NDP has so small of a base, they never got more than 20%. The other one, Kim Campbell, replaced Mulroney as PM, but by that time, Mulroney was so unpopular, she didn't have a chance. She also was utterl

I hate his foreign policy in general. And if I lived in America, I would also hate his domestic policies. I do agree with him on affirmative action, though.
