Open Question: what to do with terrorist ?
It seems people don't understand that they want to kill us.The Koran says all infidels must die,It doesn't say"all people under the bush administration must die" it doesn't say "all those in Iraq must die"It says ALL infidels(none believers of Allah) must die.Okay we leave Iraq than what? poof!!,just like that a rainbow appears,a dove fly's by and then we all live happily ever after?The terrorist will still be there.and while we are living in la la land, they will be regrouping resting, and preparing for the next city to blow up.This isn't meant to bash liberals/conservatives or anything,but realistically what do you think we should do.I understand you cant kill an idea,but in my opinion we must contain it as much as possible,like we do crime.So what are your thoughts?
Open Question: Which presidency saw the greatest job creation? Reagan, Clinton, or Bush 43?
Tell me what you think. I'll post the official data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics in a few minutes. All had 8 years in office, so the comparison is reasonably good.
BLS government data on the increase in the number of employed individuals.
Reagan: Jan 81 to Dec 88, 16.3 million
Clinton: Jan 93 to Dec. 2000, 22.8 million
Bush 43: Jan 2000 to Oct. 2008, 4.4 million
We’ll do Bush a favor and stop counting now, since the current employment trend is down. My bet is he’ll be under 4 million before he is through.
I wonder how many Republicans think this data is biased or wrong? Post-rationalism don’t need no stinkin data.
The BLS website is here. You''ll have to enter the time period and select "original data value" to get at the data.
BTW, the data is "net" job increases, meaning jobs created minus those lost.

Open Question: As an American do you feel threatened that the position of superpower is effectively over ?
US as a superpower has basically been killed by Bush . US image abroad ( as a influential member of the world community ) has effectively ended with Iraq .
now the major economies which exported to US giving US large credit have serious worries if with bail-out / war and all the US government could get lower credit rating .... China , India , Taiwan , Korea etc will make plans so that in a decade or so they are less dependent on income from exports to USA .... how they will decouple their economy from US they do not know but they surely will in the long term of a decade ..how do you Americans view this ..that your perceived power in the World today is 1 /5 th of when Bush took office 8 years back ... and in a fast changing connected World , US will probably never get back its undisputed first place since it liberated Europe from Nazis and aided Europe and Japan to stand up ... ?
Note - i live in India and fully follows US , British , German , French , Chinese , Indian news networks and opinions . MY QUESTION IS NOT WHAT WHETHER YOU THINK MY PERCEPTION AS A NON AMERICAN IS RIGHT ? I KNOW WHAT THE WORLD AT THE MOMENT THINKS .. I WILL ACCEPT NO ARGUMENTS ON THAT ( YOU ARE FREE TO CALL ME A S.O.B. ) MY QUERY IS WHAT DO YOU AS AN AMERICAN FEEL AS AN AMERICAN WITH DIMINISHED GLOBAL INFLUENCE IN COMING YEARS
i am not proposing any nation will follow ..perhaps there will be a century of power vaccum as caused by the weakening of any large empire ..all i am saying is the US citizen who is say 30 and has seen his nation shine is looking at next 40 years of life with his nation not the first anymore but one among many of the best 10 ...... what is his reaction ?
i have been polite and well informed . unfortunately Jimmy Dean is not so . there is a thing called " sovereign rating " ; and the growth of the Chinese , Korean , Taiwanese and lately Indian economy is almost completely powered by export to USA on easy terms of credit . i have been well informed . please snap out of you red neck mentality if you want to answer . i am not looking for wannabe Homer Simpsons ... kindly stop making your nation seem more silly than it seems now ..

Open Question: are the bush tax cuts helping the economy?
Open Question: Who better than Eliot Spitzer as Chairman of the Security & Exchange Commission (SEC)?
How to Ground The Street
The Former 'Enforcer' On the Best Way to Keep Financial Markets in Check.
By Eliot L. Spitzer
Sunday, November 16, 2008; Page B01
Washington Post
President-elect Barack Obama will soon face the extraordinary task of saving capitalism from its own excesses, much as Franklin D. Roosevelt had to do 76 years ago. Up until this point in the crisis, policymakers have appropriately applied the rules of triage -- Band-Aids and tourniquets, then radical surgery -- to keep the global financial system alive. Capital infusions, bailouts, mega-mergers, government guarantees of unimaginable proportions -- all have been sought and supported by officials and corporate chief executives who had until now opposed any government participation in the marketplace. But put aside for the moment the ideological cartwheel we have seen and look at the big picture: The rules of modern capitalism have been re-written before our eyes.
The new president's team must soon get to the root causes of the mistakes that have brought us to the economic precipice. Yes, we have all derided the explosion of leverage, the failure to regulate derivatives, the flood of subprime lending that was bound to default and the excesses of CEO compensation. But these are all mere manifestations of three deeper structural problems that require greater attention: misconceptions about what a "free market" really is, a continuing breakdown in corporate governance and an antiquated and incoherent federal financial regulatory framework.
First, we must confront head-on the pervasive misunderstanding of what constitutes a "free market." For long stretches of the past 30 years, too many Americans fell prey to the ideology that a free market requires nearly complete deregulation of banks and other financial institutions and a government with a hands-off approach to enforcement. "We can regulate ourselves," the mantra went.
Those of us who raised red flags about this were scoffed at for failing to understand or even believe in "the market." During my tenure as New York state attorney general, my colleagues and I sought to require investment banking analysts to provide their clients with unbiased recommendations, devoid of undisclosed and structural conflicts. But powerful voices with heavily vested interests accused us of meddling in the market.
When my office, along with the Department of Justice, warned that some of American International Group's reinsurance transactions were little more than efforts to create the false impression of extra capital on the company's balance sheet, we were jeered at for attacking one of the nation's great insurance companies, which surely knew how to balance risk and reward.
And when the attorneys general of all 50 states sought to investigate subprime lending, believing that some lending practices might be toxic, we were blocked by a coalition of the major banks and the Bush administration, which invoked a rarely used statute to preempt the states' ability to probe. The administration claimed that it had the situation under control and that our inquiry was unnecessary.
Time and again, whether at the state level, in Congress or at the Securities and Exchange Commission under Bill Donaldson, those who tried to enforce the basic principles that would allow the market to survive were told that the "invisible hand" of the market and self-regulation could handle the task alone.
The reality is that unregulated competition drives corporate behavior and risk-taking to unacceptable levels. This is simply one of the ways in which some market participants try to gain a competitive advantage. As one lawyer for a company charged with malfeasance stated in a meeting in my office (amazingly, this was intended as a winning defense): "You're right about our behavior, but we're not as bad as our competitors."
No major market problem has been resolved through self-regulation, because individual competitive behavior doesn't concern itself with the larger market. Individual actors care only about performing better than the next guy, doing whatever is permitted -- or will go undetected. Look at the major bubbles and market crises. Long-Term Capital Management, Enron, the subprime lending scandals: All are classic demonstrations of the bitter reality that greed, not self-discipline, rules where unfettered behavior is allowed.
Those who truly understand economics, as did Adam Smith, do not preach an absence of government participation. A market doesn't exist in a vacuum. Rather, a market is a product of laws, rules and enforcement. It needs transparency, capital requirements and fidelity to fiduciary duty. The alternative, as we are seeing, is anarchy.
One of the great advantages U.S. capital markets have enjoyed over the decades has been the view -- held worldwide -- that there was an underlying integrity to the representations market participants made, because the regulatory framework in which th
Open Question: all about Obama and the losers who are hating and discriminating?

Open Question: What can I say in my debate about 9/11?
I have to do a debate in class proving that the 9/11 bombings where not a conspiracy.
I'm going to be talking about George Bush, and I need some things to say. Surprisingly, I'm finding this topic very hard to research. I'm needing some information on George Bush organizing the bombings so he could get oil from Iraq. i know the other team is talking about this and I need something to use against them.
Open Question: Who is a better person, George W. Bush or William Ayers?
Open Question: Do Bush and Harper have brain nerve or do they need really need economic help?
Bush say's and thinks capitalism will take care of itself and Harper what's more economic laws. Who knows, I must have just asked a stupid questions. Does this mean they will add non-borrowed money to the economy by giving it to the poor so the poor can give it to the rich and the rich can give it back to the government. In the past, some of the question I have asked produced answers that have scared me to a point that if those people ever helped Bush or Harper everyone will die. Who can make money caused by inflation and who loses money caused by inflation. If everyone graduates from high school and they all have to work at minimum wage, or need to receive welfare. The people that voted for Bush to improve the capitalist system didn't expect him to generate and recycle the money that 9 / 11 created. Economic problems are caused by the rate the population grows. If everyone has the same number of children the World will either sink or swim.
Open Question: What has George W Bush achieved over his last 8 years of presidency?
What are his successes and downfalls? Please, don't be too bias, and discuss a little of both successes and downfalls.

Open Question: Democrats, will you answer my question?
I just watched a rerun of Michael Moore on CNN. Among other things, he was talking about how the Democrats shouldn't treat the Republicans the way the Republicans treated them ... that they're our fellow Americans and so forth.
I'm curious. Besides things that Bush did that you didn't agree with like the Patriot Act and the Iraq War ... I'm not talking about those things ... Moore was talking about what average Republican did to Democrats. I was under the impression that Democrats spewed hatred constantly for 8 years at Republicans.
What exactly did we personally, the average Republican, do to you that upset you so much? How were we mean to you?
No, I'm not talking about a political choice or what the Republican government did.
Moore was talking about in a personal way somehow the average Republicans acted horribly towards the average Democrat.
Please read the comments. I'm talking about policy or voting opinoin.
I'm not talking about policy or voting choice is what I meant to say.
Open Question: Why hasn't president Bush been arrested for putting the country in the toilet?
Open Question: Oh my... How the Republican glory has fallen?
As stated.
They claim to have class, yet they don't. Constantly rambling very trivial false rumors about Obama, swinging around racially impolite phrases "Kool Aid Drinkers", show a very low threshold of tolerance and are fascist morons.
So when does it end? Democrats sure did cry a lot on the 2nd term of Bush. But at least they had somewhere to go when they threatened to leave, and they had the right to bitch and gripe. Hell Bush was one of the worst presidents ever, yet Republicans hold him high on his horse. Democrats are welcome in Canada, and Mexico. Republicans threatened to leave in the truckloads but they didn't, know why? Because Canada, and Mexico doesn't like fascist pigs. And they're Socialist nations. So you all stay here instead crying that America has finally had enough of your bull shit. Your expanding our government YOUR THE REAL LIBERALS. Your GIVING the government more POWER. Not the LIBERALS! Liberals have A LOT less pull in the government than you can imagine, get your head out of the idiot boxes. Please, pleaseee! The mass amounts of ignorance and stupidity will be the death of me.
And god knows, a place where the rich will get penalized and will not get richer and richer, while the poor get poorer is not the destination of a Republican.
The new era of Republicans are absolutely disgraceful, and wrong. Yet you claim to be right. Republicans are tearing apart the nation with their intolerance, and war. Your Bush and Cheney are in complete control of Iraq's oil yet the prices barely dropped. They are profiting from the oil. And when the war is over, industrialized cooperation's will go to Iraq and rebuild. And then sell to them what is already belongs to them. Our country profits off of spreading destruction and war, all thinks to those Republicans.
Republicans advantage of the people and the government for their own personal gain. And then they pay off the media so retarded Republicans like 90% of yahoo will think EVERYTHING IS OK, AND FINE. But the truth is your all just gullible fools.
Republicans are dishonorable. The truth sure does hurt.
I'm a Independent, so don't even think about calling me a Democrat because they are just as f'ed up as all your Republicans.
EDIT: My question is... How the mighty have fallen? How did the Republican party fall so low?
EDIT: CNN I watch, because its just funny. I never believe what I see on media broadcastings. But I can tell you now, CNN isn't just far left wing.. They've shown to have conservative, and liberal point of views. Unlike Fox, MSNBC who are either Conservative Republican, or straight up Liberal.
