Is environmentalism being taken too far? stance: environmentalism is being taken too far:
I believe environmentalism is a great thing, don't get me wrong. But recently I think environmentalism could be categorized as a cult. They obviously have some great views and do help the planet, but the thing that ticks me off is "global warming". I think there is strong evidence that the earth is warming naturally because of the sun and not our production of carbon dioxide. But these radical environmentalists are literally attempting to form a kind of dictatorship, where so many aspects of life are strictly controlled to stop climate change. Anyone that questions them is a heretic, and even with overwhelming scientfic evidence against global warming, they persist. I am tired of overpriced "green" products, carbon credits, and attempts by them to waste billions of dollars and slow down America's economy. They have gone from the point of actually focusing on real environmental issues to just feeding the public lies and creating new, pretend problems to waste our time. Discuss.

Oreilly factor: comedy show or significant source for news? stance: oreilly factor is a great source for daily news updates:
Bill O'Reilly has an opinion. Sometimes his opinion seems moderately justified, sometimes not. Similarly, someone like Keith Olberman also has opinions which are sometimes moderately justified and sometimes not. Each can wield structured argumentation, and each will occasionally stoop to more base forms of persuasion. It's all permissible because the main audience is content in just winking at the sleight of hand.

Are we going into the next great depression. stance: no...we got nothing to worry about:
A recession isnt ALWAYS a bad thing. An optimistic view of this recession is that all of the corporate world fat is being trimmed and weeded out, leaving only the best and most sufficient companies. The short term job losses and price increases are definately a bad thing but they are only temporary. THe US has gotten out of worse before (Late 70's early 80's situation, and the Great Depression) just to name a few.

Whats the solution to the american oil crisis? stance: frankie couldnt think of another solution so i'll let you all do it:
The present day crisis was brought on by the auto, petroleum, rubber and construction companies after WW2. Instead of maintaining, increasing public transportation and as suggested by scientists devolping solar energy, they chased the big bucks destroying public transportation, building hiways and freeways, malls and depending on fossil fuel while destroying the envoirment This is just a case of the chickens coming home to roost,

Should teenage drivers be limited to carrying only a set number of other teens at once? stance: yes, teens should be limited to carrying a small number of teen passangers at once.:
Perhaps not all teens; there is a good case for new drivers. Perhaps in the first six months after passing the test, as well as provisional licensees (I think there are restrictions on this anyway) should have restrictions on the number of passengers. Personally, I would also sugest a restriction on how far a newly licesnsed driver can travel on thier own, or with them as the sole driver. Obviously this would be very hard to police, but would prevent thousands of dangerous accidents every year from new drivers on thier first motorway jaunt.

Is monarchy still probable in status quo? stance: monarchies are just burdens to their respective economies.:
Monarchies are just burdens to economies if they are parliamentary monarchy because they don't have they original role - ruling. There are many of examples: British monarchy, Danish monarchy, Japanese. They have no real power and no political influence and are just living on the backs of taxpaying citizen. For example the British royal family cost the UK 40 million pound per year.

Phelps v snyder stance: phelps clan is not protected by the first amendment:
In this case I do not believe that the Phelps Clan is protected under the first amendment. I think they crossed the line by singling out one persons funeral. At that point it's almost an emotional hate crime against the Snyder family. Now, had they been somewhere else and been stating their beliefs against all military members or gay people then they would have been fine. But to single out out one person in particular and hold signs up saying "Semper Fi fag" and " Thank God for dead soldiers" is a direct emotional attack and should not be protected under the first amendment.

Is this one of ann coulter's top 3 worst comments ever? stance: yes definitely top 3:
In 2002 Ann wrote an article and in part of it while attempting to be funny she said that "her trying to golf was like the Special Olympics." The article cause quite a bit of controversy, this has to be one of the meanest things she has ever said. I like some of what Ann has to say, she makes sense some times, but you can clearly tell that she is making fun of mentally disabled people here. That is absolutely uncalled for and I think it's one of the worst things she has ever said...what do you guys think?

Business review: 4.0 stars business name: filiberto's mexican food. city: gilbert. categories: restaurants, mexican:
I was starving and wanted something quick and cheap. Based on reviews, I was dubious about coming here but a chicken taco sounded really good. I decided to live wild and try it out. A happy surprise was that it's taco Tuesday so I was able to get two soft tacos for $.99 each! I expected them to be measly but there was enough meat in it that one would've been plenty. Better yet - they tasted good enough that I ate both. (Or maybe that's worse because I'm quite full now). The iced tea was fresh, restaurant was clean and cheerfully decorated. They had a bar with four salsas, traditional veggies etc. I could've taken pix to show how much meat was in the tacos but instead, I ate them.

Relaxing place to be, nice terrace and good variety menu but only takes cash... Last time I was there the ATM didn't work either, although I don't really like using my card with unknown ATM machines. They should at least have debit...or Apple Pay. Other then that. Order at the counter and food at your table. Would go back for coffee break.

Business review: 2.0 stars business name: the cheesecake factory. city: madison. categories: restaurants, desserts, american (traditional), american (new), seafood, food, salad:
The granddaddy of big box food. Tasty? yes. Inventive? not really. Oil and butter as substitutes for inventive, creative food? Most likely. Its hard to argue that you can exit the Cheesecake Factory without a full belly and a satisfying meal. Unfortunately, that comes at the cost of some of the most high calorie entrees imaginable. The place does a decent job of managing the huge demand put on it by the throngs of mall-goers hungry for some Wisconsin-sized plates. And to be fair, they do have a full "skinnylicious" menu to encourage, or at least offer, more healthy menu options. But at the end of the day, their menu seems to rely a bit to heavily on butter and oil as the primary constituents of flavor.

Business review: 1.0 stars business name: cabin coffee cafe. city: glendale. categories: breakfast & brunch, food, arts & entertainment, bagels, coffee & tea, restaurants:
The first time I came here, I ordered a latte and it was on point. I was happy to support a local business and the girls working were friendly. The second time I came in I grabbed a hot tea and a yogurt parfait. I watched the lady scratching her butt through her yoga pants as she walked to the back to make it. Thankfully she washed her hands before she got started but I was already over it at this point. I didn't plan on eating anything but politely waited...and waited...and waited. They certainly put a lot of time and effort into a parfait. It was a pretty fancy yogurt option after the long wait... Except for the 18inch red curly hair wrapped in the top. Health code standards have gone out the window in the valley.

Business review: 2.0 stars business name: guarino's restaurant. city: cleveland. categories: italian, party & event planning, american (new), event planning & services, restaurants:
The ambiance was good- very 60s Italian. I had the gnocchi pesto. Beyond bland. Didn't taste basil. Didn't taste olive oil. Didn't taste Parmesan. Not sure how that's possible. The pine nuts were just sprinkled on top which seemed lazy. Salad was brown. House Italian tasted like stale parm. Portions were lame for the price (usually you can count on a $14 gnocchi to be pretty hearty - this one would be a 'small plate' at most other Italian joints). A very unimpressive $60 meal for the two of us. I'll be returning in the summer to check out "the most romantic patio in Cleveland," hoping another dish will be worth it.

If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you would you turn them in:
If my husband committed murder I wouldn't turn them in because I know he must have had a good reason to do it. Everybody makes mistakes in this world and this would be a wrong decision he took. I love him and I feel that in love we should be by your partner throught the thick and thin no matter what. I wouldn't want my husband to be in jail.

Tv is better than books:
I think books are better as TV can cause obesity as many people just sit infront of it, it has been proven to cause violence and it reduces learning. Also, books increase someones imagination and creativity as they have to imagine things in the book for themselves. I am not completely against TV but I do believe that TV is very bad in large amounts and books are very good for people http://www.echoworld.com/B05/B0510/B0510TVBad.htm

Is it better to have a lousy father or to be fatherless:
It really sucks not having a man to look up to while your growing up. I believe that being fatherless is better then having a lousy father. The reason I believe this is the best is because you dont want to be looking up to a guy that does nothing in life and its just setting bad examples. Who knows you might grow up following his steps. So being fatherless is better because from day one you start depending on your own with no need of a father being there. And theres always going to be other people by your side helping you get through life.

Is it better to have a lousy father or to be fatherless:
I personally feel that it is better to be fatherless, rather than having a lousy father. I personally know what it is like . My father was very lousy. The last time I saw him was when I was thirteen, and i havn't heard from him since. It doesn't bother me because I don't know him, and because he's not around I am never set up for any disapointment. So I think that to be fatherless is much better.

Is porn wrong:
It is wrong. Porn is wrong because you are being lustful: it's even more wrong when you're married because you're looking at another person in a preverted way that's not your wife or husband, which believe it or not, counts as cheating on them. But all of us have been lustful before, right? I'm not judging you, but it is wrong and you should stop.

Evolution vs creation:
Debates are based on convincing evidence. There is very little evidence supporting creation, while there are massive amounts supporting an evolutionary argument. True. But, evidence must withstand the test of accepted truth. We can't say that creation is false, because there is no explanation provided for the origins of the "particles" that caused the evolution theory. Although the evolution theory is interesting, and quite possible, it does not rule out creation. Since creation cannot be ruled out in any way, and evolution can, creation is the best possible theory.

Should physical education be mandatory in schools:
In my opinion I think that it should be obligatory to have PE classes in schools because it offers children a bit of exercise. If in every school of the world PE classes would be obligatory there would be much less fat children. Of course also some health classes should be included so that children know how to have a basic diet and so they won't be obese anymore.

I used to think that belief in God was reasonable before the theory of evolution. However, the "who created the creator" argument seems to apply here. An all-knowing all-powerful loving, merciful, personal God is as complex a creature as I can imagine, so complex life cannot be explained by a complex creator.

I rather have a lousy father than not have one at all, because a father is one of the most wonderful things it could happen to you. At least a lousy father would be there when you need someone. You can count on your father on anything. and i guess lousy fathers are like that because they love their child, and they want their son or doughter to be as perfect as posible.

I know that I don't have the father I want, but I still love him no matter how lousy he is.

Is it better to have a lousy father or to be fatherless:
I feel like it's better to have a lousy father than to not have one at all. If someone is bad at something, it means that there's always a possibility that one day they may be good at it. To be fatherless, there's not even a chance of having a good father. So to have a lousy father would be better.

Ban plastic water bottles:
Estimates variously place worldwide bottled water sales at between $50 and $100 billion each year, with the market expanding at the startling annual rate of 7 percent. Bottled water is big business. But in terms of sustainability, bottled water is a dry well.

Ban plastic water bottles:
Bottled water is somewhat less likely to be found in developing countries, where public water is least safe to drink. Many government programs regularly disperse bottled water for various reasons. Distributing small bottles of water is much easier than distributing large bulk storages of water. Also contamination from large water storage containers is much more likely than from single 12-20 ounce bottles of water.

Gay marriage right or wrong:
Two men/women together does not seem natural. Although we know the world is changing and there are new ideas the purpose of two humans being together is to reproduce and make new life. Marriage is in front of God and the words are taken from the Bible but it is obvious that God does not approve of this so doesn't it seem ironic in a way?

Guys AND Girls were made for a reason. This reason is not so they can pair up with the same sex. It is so that they can pair up with opposite genders. Opposites Attract, Every where, wether its in magnets, electricity, atoms, or humans. Besides, it just doesnt work with two guys (genitals), thats why there are female reproductive systems and male reproductive systems. They only work together, so there is only one way to reproduce..

Gay marriage right or wrong:
Why don't we just get rid of any incentive to be married, politically that is. No tax deductions, no married filing jointly; nothing. Let the churches perform marriages, get the government out completely. If a particular denomination wants to condone homosexuality let them, it's them that are going against their religion. I don't support it. Like I said, if there were not tax breaks or incentives to be married in the eyes of the state, who cares. My church doesn't support it. It irks me that people who claim to Christians support it and even allow homosexual clergy.

India has the potential to lead the world:
Of course it has the potential, but right now the current religious tension between Muslims and Hindus would probably prevent this. I can't think of a leading nation that has had large scale internal conflict, it just doesn't work. To "lead" a country must have time and resources to worry about other countries and not itself.

If your spouse committed murder and he or she confided in you would you turn them in:
I would turn them in whether it was self-defense or an act of rage. If it was self-defense they would most likely get away with it but if it were an act of rage I would not want to spend the rest of my life with that person. My conscience would eat at me and I could not live knowing that there's a family that is mourning because of my spouse's actions.

For example, what if my spouse murdered your spouse. Wouldn't you want to know who killed him/her? I would, I wouldn't allow my self to rest until I knew. Sometimes in life their is more to worry about than yourself.

I put my argument on the side saying "yes" but in reality it really depends in my opinion. If my husband killed someone in self-defense, I'd rather them kill the person than my husband die, but if he just killed someone for no reason I probably would turn him in because love may be strong but it can also be blind. I would not want to be married to a murderer because what if one day he decided to kill me?

They believe they have the right to get pregnant and then get rid of the baby because they feel like it and made a mistake. These are childrens lives we are talking about

while yes phys. ed. classes should still be in high schools they shouldnt be mandatory(especially not all 4 years of HS). maybe just having PE be an optional class and having one year be a mandatory thing instead of a continuous PE class. in lower grades, yes it should be mandatory because little kids are more likely to gain and lose weight in weird patterns. That Is All.

Which type of endeavor is better a personal pursuit or advancing the common good:
Helping others for the common good can give you a feeling of pride but you have to have the means to be able to help the other person. To have those means you first have to have personal pursuit. I don't think one is better than the other but you first have to have personal pursuit before you can have common good. However for some people their personal pursuit can be the advancement of the common good.

Should there be an income tax? how is it enforced despite the fact that it's unconstitutional?:
There is no provision in either document you cite which says keeping all the fruits of our earnings is a part of freedom. Now, our founding fathers were involved in colony govts before they were involved in rebellion. In Virginia, our house of burgesses provided money every year to every widow and orphan. We also applied our tax money to construction projects for the common good. We also had courts to help protect our rights. When we had our revolution, we were opposed to taxation WITHOUT representation, we were not opposed to taxation. We never have been. You have a pretty limited view of humanity and our responsibility to create a just society. Plus, you seem to be basing it on parts of our founding documents which don't exist.

Why does the sec allow brokers to not only buy and sell for us, but also for themselves?:
The official reason is that they make an 'orderly market'. They must buy and sell to keep the market from sudden and dramatic shifts. So they are forced to buy and sell under certain conditions. It is also true that the make full use of opportunities to buy and sell when they can make money. It's an unpleasant trade-off. I don't agree with them or with this policy but that's what is happening.

What's worse: lying about sexual relations or lying about a cia leak?:
The CIA leak was far worse. When Valerie Plame's identity as a CIA agent was revealed, her life, and possibly the security of our country, was put in jeopardy. Clinton's infidelity only directly affected Hillary and Chelsea, and was no skin off the noses of everyone else. One reason why the media devoted less attention to Plamegate is because corporations who own the media are major Republican donors.

This guy's actually got a point. I'm not so sure on the specifics of any yahoo involvement, but I do know for certain that the Chinese government is very oppressive to anyone who questions its motives or policies. Instances may have tailed off over recent years, but beatings and torture are still a regular part of protocol there. America simply chooses to ignore it because we're more concerned with preserving our good economic relations with China, even though a lot of the cheap labor we outsource there is indeed done by slaves. We really should wake up and start seeing the truth.

Should america illegalize presidents using profesionally written speeches?:
I don't want to turn this into a bash-Bush answer (I try not to get mixed up in that) But one thing I have noticed is his inability to be an effective public speaker. You would think he has the best speech writers money could buy, right? Problem is..I don't think he uses them...I almost think he just wings the whole damn thing, but who knows. I don't see a problem with speech writers to be honest, if your a president of a company, or of a nation, what you say will effect many people. Hiring someone who is skilled in speeches and public policy is not only rational, but almost the only choice to properly convey the message you want everyone to hear. If you really want to hear how a person speaks, debates are a good place to start, since even though they have official "answers" to expected questions, they do have to be on their toes a bit more than when they give an address.

If prostitution is illegal, how can it be legal to pay two people to have sex and film it in a porn movie?:
The difference between the two is more like Dolphins and Porpoises not Lions and Bats. The reason one is legal and the other is not, is because the law says one is legal and the other is not. The actual difference between the two acts are hard to see. It is not legal to have sex with someone for money, but is totally legal to have sex with someone free. It is not legal to have sex with someone for money, but it is totally legal to have film two other people having for money if you sell that film commercially. A rational, logical human being would never be able to understand this, which is why it is something only lawyers and politicians could come up with. The bottom line is they could make prostitution legal, they chose not to, they could make porn illegal they chose not to. It is one of those cases where the difference is only what the court says is the difference. Great question.

Actually you have it wrong. The justice system developed and practiced in the United States is the best that has developed in mankind in all of history so far. It is far from perfect. It is flawed. It is human. It is still the best we have come up with so far. No matter what media may claim and promote, it is getting better all the time, not worse. Because people do better and want better, we will become better for ourselves and our children.

You might be able to. Here's what I would do. 1. Gather all your receipts. If you don't have the actual receipts.. well.. your scewed and might as well stop here. However, there is the possiblity that the old pharmacy has your perscriptions on file and they may be able to provide you with a print out of your purchases. 2. I really don't think the Pharmacy will be willing to reimburse you.. but the insurance company might. Copy all the receipts, write a letter and fill out your Insurance companies claim form. 3. Send it all in and cross your fingers. Good luck!

How can you defend a drug conspiracy charge verses a possession or distribution charge?:
You shouldn't expect to get a realistic answer from anyone here because no one here (except you, perhaps), knows all the details of your case. It would take an attorney no small amount of time to prepare a defense for you, and nobody here is going to be able to offer you real help without knowing all the details. This is one of those situations where Y!A really isn't going to be especially beneficial for you.

Give me a break. Three strikes equals life! Live with it! You've been warned so don't ask for sympathy because it's "just a little pot". It's not like the third strike was for pot only. He / She committed other crimes just didn't get caught. We as Californians are safer without them on the street. You know what they say... "If you can't do the time then don't do the crime.

Yes, if it's his baby. They're married and although they may be separated, they're still legally bound. The father has every right to demand that the baby be given his last name and if I were him, I would refuse to sign the birth certificate if anything else was put in. Why assume the man left? She didn't say that in her question. She only said they were separated. Maybe the mother is the one who left!

Unfortunately, no you cannot re-open such a case, not without new evidence. The best you can do is go after your lawyer, but it probably won't help a whole lot. Very valuable lesson is to be learned here- you were so young when it happened- you body had many changes to go through yet and with Firestone's record, you should have had a clause put in the settlement (or not settled at all) that future consequences of the accident could be claimed.

Are the words of a state trooper credible in the court of law?:
I think it should be deemed as hear say and thrown out immediately. It is inadmissible evidence. They cannot accept this as a confession because first, his low IQ made him easily susceptible to coercion. He was coerced into confessing. Second, there is no proof he spoke the words he is said to have uttered and the wording and thought process are to complex for this defendant. He is to incompetent to be able to think of problems in logical progressions.

Student loan cosigners?:
Well, since she signed for it, legally she can be held responsible for it. There is no way to get her name off the loan. The only way that she can try to get it off, is by disputing the signature on the promissory note, otherwise she's stuck. And no, he won't get off scott free either. They can take his tax return to pay on it. She needs to chalk it up to a lesson learned. To the dude below me: Student loans can not be discharged thru bankruptcy anymore. They will go after him first, because he is the primary borrower. If they can't collect from him, then they will go after her for the money. Like I said in my source, I work in a student loan company. I would urge her to call the loan company and find out the staus of the loan. I can tell you this, none of these things will happen until it goes into default.

If most of the time a womans reason for getting an abortion have nothing to do with rape and incest?:
Because in order to deflect from the fact that most women are killing their babies because they're 'inconvenient', they have to do a lot of scaremongering. So you have the 'rape' and 'incest' scare factors, and throw in the 'back-alley coathanger dying by the 1,000's' myth, and you've eliminated the picture of a tiny baby being chopped up and vaccuumed out, or being burned in a brine solution, or having its head pierced and its brains sucked out. I guess the feminists are still following Margaret Sanger's eugenicist desire to have fewer minority babies.

Can an employer stop you from smoking in your private vehicle at break time or lunch time, i live in nys.?:
Are you sure that you are accurately reporting the information the attorney gave to you? If your vehicle is parked on the private property of your employer, the laws of your state may very well give them the right to enforce this policy. Regardless of what you feel about the policy, chances are that you are an "at will" employ unless you belong to a union. I am not aware of any state or federal law that would protect you if your employer fired you for violating the policy. So you have two choices: (1) stop smoking; or (2) go off the property to smoke.

Can he do that? please help?:
You admitted fault here and I bet that you admitted fault there too. Read what you wrote and you will realize that you have no argument in court. He did not write the ticket for not stopping for the stop sign. He wrote the ticket for "failing to yield to oncoming traffic at a stop sign." Big difference, if you were struck by cross traffic it becomes obvious that you did not yield to their right of way! Your best bet would be to plead "no contest" accepting the courts verdict without admitting guilt, it keeps you from looking foolish by trying to argue an open and closed case, and save face at the same time.

How do people get the opinion that torture is acceptable?:
i try to teach my children to "treat others as you want them to treat you, not the way that they DO treat you". as far as i am concerned, two negatives ONLY make a positive in math. therefore, torturing anyone or anything is COMPLETELY unacceptable. those who think that is acceptable are completely barbaric and would surely change their minds once they have been tortured.

Do u think pre marital sex shd be made an offence?:
Well, it would have been nice had you used spell check first... Your question is hard to read for those of us that actually speak and write in English... So my answer to this is, which marriage were you speaking of??? I am on marriage number 3 and at my age it would be foolish to act like a virgin this far into my life... I know others that are in their 5th marriage; you think they should wait too??? Just exactly how much holier are you than the rest of us??? My previous 2 marriages had the exes walk out on me because of cheating, and I was not at fault... So we should study that aspect more don't you think??? I do not agree with your logic or attitude... Sorry... You could never make it work... How would you ever prove it???

Cmv: battlefield earth was an entertaining film, and not nearly as bad as people say.:
Okay, so I would never let anyone know this publicly, hence the post, but I really did enjoy Battlefield Earth. The acting is pretty poor, but it is at least a decent Sci-Fi movie, with a good amount of action. I liked the thought of post-war America, has some shout outs to ft hood, knox, and a couple other famous cities. The learning machine allows the humans to become intelligent, travolta getting his comeuppance at the end. I gotta say, if it is on, I tend to watch it. Just to Give a Primer, my 5 favorite movies of all time (in no particular order) Shawshank, Godfather, Inside Man, Animal House, Goodfellas

Cmv: i dont believe that the community is at liberty to define "pornography":
Before anything else, here are defenitions via the oxford dictionary Pornography: "Printed or visual material containing the explicit description or display of sexual organs or activity, intended to stimulate erotic rather than aesthetic or emotional feelings." Explicit: "Describing or representing sexual activity in a graphic fashion" I have seen far too many books be challenged or banned because it was "pornographic" when the text is not sexy or titilating - just descriptive [sexually explicit if you will]. Some dont even include real descriptions of sex at all... I cannot find a citation right now [on mobile], but i have heard many people say that pornographic is to be defined by the community Without an understanding of the difference between pornographic and sexually explicit, community members are not at liberty to define either term. TLDR: If the community doesnt know what theyre talking about they shouldnt get to define words with such harsh connotations

Cmv: i think it's morally ok to kill an animal for food, but i'm a vegan because i hate the way animals are treated, for such food..:
I'm been stuck with this debate with myself for months now, and I can't think what is the right moral path.. I've always thought that killing an animal for the right purpose, food and not fun, is morally right because there animals don't understand death, like a human does. They will have the same wonderful life, in the wild, even if I kill it or not.. As for producing animals, in order for food, I also think this is ok as long as the animals are treated right, and fair. That's why i'm a vegan right now, because I hate how the main meat sources we have come from horrible people who treat animals with un needed cruelty, or atleast it seems like they do. Edit: What i'm also asking is, is it wrong to actually eat meat from these factories? People make it seem like it's horrible, but I just don't know. Any pro and con arguments would help me out a lot, thanks!
