"Seriously though, the U.S. once voted for a Catholic president (JFK)... once!"

One JFK was a very bad Catholic (the thing with Marylin Monroe). For some reason many people think that if a Catholic becomes President, the US will become a vassal of the Pope. Now if these people realized that the Pope is not the political figure he once was, they would understand that the Pope is a spiritual leader.

" It says nothing to the fact that as previously stated, blacks with higher degree of education are less likely to get hired than white high school drop outs."

Why would a higher educated person want work in job where a high school dropout would get the same job?

If want to put money into the economy you let the consumer do it not the government. By letting people spend their money on what they want or need is the best way to stimulate the economy not a trillion dollar plan that will take 2 years to work. The economy will get fixed quicker with the consumer rather than with the government.

My cutting taxes you give more money to the people put into the economy thus making it strong.

If money makes someone happy then if they had money they would be happy, if a video game makes some one happy then buying that would make someone happy.

"To simplify the problem I think democracy is starting to break down. Journalism is the backbone of a democracy. Without an informed public it ceases to exist."

Are you saying that the majority of the media is biased?

"At least with a strong central government, the people have control over it democratically. Right now our government is in a stranglehold by big business over which we have no control."

The government can not handle it. All the people who know what they are doing are in the big buisnesses and not in the government.

" We need to demand that congress take steps to fix the media like bringing back the Fairness Doctrine and breaking up the monopoly on news."

And sacrifice free speech?

The other guy is not any better, the only change may be that Iran does not nuke Israel after Obama lets them have a nuclear arsenal.

Within 70 years of inventing the airplane we had a man walking on the moon. With how far mankind has come we should be able to land a man on Mars. The deadline may be a little soon, but its definatley possible.

Our taxes should not be used for news programs that no one would watch. Our money should be going into making this country safe and to pay for our roads and things like that.

It may be getting warmer but it has nothing to do with us, it have to do with the fact we are coming out of an Ice Age. Liberals are changing it to Climate Change so when it gets colder they won't seem stupid when it gets cooler.

We have a big economic crisis that should be the number one priority for the US, but we can not neglect threat of terrorism that can strike at any moment. We need to fix the economy while maintaining the defensive measures that have kept us safe for the last eight years.

Law and order is pretty good television program. ;)

Stealing is not okay. If they do it there what will stop them from doing it here? If they break our laws they should be kicked out.

It should be a reasonable amount of people like maybe 15,000 a month (random number), but it should be decided by people who know what they are doing.

I agree that only certain amounts of people should be allowed to immigrate, plus the should not have criminal records.

You need to work on what you say. The debate is actually a very interesting one and you just ruined the quality and purpose of this debate.

People should be allowed to immigrate to the US, but only if they do so legally. Amnesty should not be given to those who come here illegally. They should be sent back. Those who come here should be skilled at something and should learn to speak English enough to get by as well as they should all pay taxes.

Criticizing FOX is stupid when you do not watch them.

"You can't criticize what you don't understand" - Bob Dylan

Maybe if you watched them you would know. Does that make sense?

"I also must ask if you know how long it takes for a tree to grow? They don't spring up over night that's for damn sure. Reforestation would take decades if we began right now."

Well, how long does it take to develop new forms of fuel?

If you read my arguement you would realize that I said only take parts of the Parks.

You do not realize that there are 5 year olds that can assemble an engine in five minutes. There are 5 year olds that are twice as mature and exponentially smarter than you.

We can feed everyone it is just that instead of relying on orginizations like the Red Cross and the UN countries should do it themselves. We need to remove leaders like Kim Jong Il who are straving their people.

If there is not enough plants then we could just plant more.

Bears eat moose and people so that means we need to turn bears into vegetarians aswell as any other carnivore.
