I never thought I would live to see the day in which you called for the US military to invade another country, especially over a justification such as illegal drugs.

The real answer is just legalize it like we did back in the early 1900's. Yes you could get cocaine and heroin legally in the US back in the early 1900's. That would pretty much cut all sources of drug funding to the drug cartels in mexico.

That will most likely lead to another round of armed tax rebellions that occurred in the 18 century, and I have to be honest I would join them in rebelling.

Well technically heylars its not exactly hypocrisy, the difference here is that cows are no where close to being endangered and well whales and some species of dolphin are, the question of course remains whether or not the species japan hunts are endangered and japan of course says no. If the those types of animals, whales and dolphins, were not endangered I don't think people would really care if they hunted those animals.

That doesn't mean they agreed with his public option. The fact that most Americans were against a government system that provided all of the funding for all Americans healthcare would suggest otherwise. Most wanted Health care insurance in terms of private companies but they wanted the costs to be lowered or at the very least have cost controls that slow down the growth of cost increases, they also didn't want to be denied coverage for preexisting conditions or be dropped because of a medical problem.

No I didn't, your point was that people should not profit off of someone that is dying or is sick, well what about food, how about lawyers and justice? Farmers profit off of those that are dying of starvation, look at haiti or african nations such as somalia, American farmers profit off of the food that is sent to haiti that has ended up causing the agricultural system to collapse there resulting in basically mass starvation in that country. Should farmers be allowed to profit when there are people in the USA that go hungry or anyone for that matter in the world? How about bottled water, should companies be allowed to make a profit off of bottled water when it is now been proven that more people die of unclean water than from war?

Chotto if you don't believe about the food being life or death look at haiti that can't feed itself because of US imports basically destroyed the agriculture there or the Somalians who are now expected to starve because of the militant groups forcing out the UN and other aid groups

Correction, starting later this year insurance companies can't drop you because they don't want to pay your medical bills.

Not all medical care is a matter of life and death.
Keep in mind Chotto most of what you claim happened yesterday republicans supported like not being turned down because of pre-existing conditions, or being dropped because they don't want to pay your hospital bills. You also need to keep in mind that some of those parts of the bill, primarily the major ones like not accepting people because of pre-existing conditions and dropping them because they don't want to pay the hospital bill, don't take effect until 2014. So although since yesterday the bill was passed it won't become an enforced law until 2014.

Taka313, what type of trauma are US soldiers in when they are in Iraq right now when there are basically no combat deaths nor combat injuries nor any type of combat whatsoever that US forces engage in when it comes to Iraq.
The truth of the matter is that Iraq is much better right now when it comes to its violence and so Iraq right now, this very second isn't really "hell on our guys".
I understand where your coming from with the driving and the shaking but those wounds were created during the years between 2003-2008 and parts of 2009.
The truth of the matter is that Iraq for all of this year has not been hell on US forces, in fact if anything it is quite boring, at least that is what the soldiers said on an interview with Richard engel.
Iraq once was hell on earth for US forces but it isn't any longer, those that are currently suffering from PTSD or just from any type of stress from developed from Iraq will not end with the withdrawal from Iraq, sadly those wounds will probably last forever.

Is it? We haven't had a single combat death I believe since last November in that country and the combat injuries have also pretty much dropped to nothing to since last november.

They are not selling guns in a coffee shop.
What planet with humans on it feel so paranoid about USA foreign policy that they want the Chinese, Russians and European Union to act as a counter force?
If world is so paranoid about its foreign policy then surely it citizens should be paranoid about its domestic policy right?

The problem NationalistRE is that what those people claim is true and correct. It is fiction, the author of the book can't back up his claims.
The truth of the manner is that this group making the claim represents the surviving members of the crew that dropped the atomic bombs, they know better then anyone else on the subject.

Well considering this group is pretty much the only group that represents the atomic bombing group I think they know what they are talking about.

At the very least zurc you have to give President Bush credit for at least trying with the no child left behind act doing something had never been done before in the USA but something of its scope had to be done and if it wasn't him it would have been his successor doing it, Obama is actually just building off it. No child left behind act was always seen as a launching point not the entire/final solution.

Which conservatives are saying it is a huge waste? Actually no child left behind isn't a pure 100% failure, there are some things of that no child left behind that are actually good and are going to be retained. We also have to remember that what the no child left behind did was something that was never done before in the USA and was expected from the very beginning to not entirely work, in fact if the no child left behind didn't exist and obama was to do something similar it would be expected to have similar problems. Those problems are its size and how much of the system it is trying to change. The success of no child left behind is on the focus of kids that have special needs and children that are learning English as a second language and that
The real issue or primary issue with No child left behind is that it was considered underfunded.

True to a point cleo, however all you have to do is look at Russia, look at all the money they spent and then look at the fact that this is the worst performance in the winter Olympics for Russia.
