I would like to know just how a constitutional amendment which is in direct violation of the constitution got 66 votes in the united states senate. 66 votes! that is only one vote shy of passing on to the next step in becoming an amendment. scarily close. the argument for this amendment was that the american flag is sacred and a bunch of other ( Read more... )

I was recently forced to read a column written by thomas friedman on how Iraq is going to implode unless the United States sets up a national unity government and deploys a whole lot more troops right now. Here's my problem, if we set up a government when Iraq already has one wouldnt that seem like we're making the government instead of the iraqis ( Read more... )

So i was taking a global history awards test recently. the essay question was to compare hinduism and buddhism, then compare christianity judaism and islam, and finally compare the two groups. I thought it was a rather boring question so i wrote the essay from another angle. I posed the question of why religion is the cause for so many wars. most ( Read more... )

Still nobody reads this but i felt like setting the record straight because when I tried in english i didnt word it too well. Feminists need to stop being alive. Their cause was a good one like fifty years ago when they were being denied rights but thats not the case anymore. women have full constitutional equality, so why are they still ( Read more... )

Okay here's one more thing wrong with america, its polarized. I'm sure none of you have ever heard this argument before so i thought i'd talk about it (slight sarcasm). Here's the perfect example. On the issue of equality for women I'm pretty sure that I would feel that its a good thing if i was left to make my own decision. Thats not the case ( Read more... )

I haven't written anything in awhile cuz no one but lindsey raitt reads this but i felt like writing something again. Here's my latest problem with general consensus: people think Iran and North Korea shouldn't have nuclear weapons. My question for people who believe that is, why not? The people who say those countries shouldn't have a-bombs are ( Read more... )

I personally didnt watch the angels white sox game last night. im in a period of mourning for my red sox and watching the ALCS just isnt terribly exciting. When i was drifting to sleep with ESPN radio though, i heard about some horrible call. i knew the game had been close because my little brother likes the angels and one call could make a ( Read more... )

Destiny USA is a very controversial topic for central new york. It would obviously increase commerce but at the same time it would kill local businesses. It would most certainly not increase tourism to syracuse. no one says "hey honey, lets go to syracuse this year. theyve got the Dome at SU, Destiny USA, and one of the most polluted lakes in the ( Read more... )

Wow. Holy crap im not sure i could be more pissed and amazed. Many people would tell you that the red sox didnt win the AL East or even the world series in 2003 because of their ramshackle defense and bullpen by commitee. So naturally the next year the red sox sign pokey reese, doug menkeiwicz (or however you spell it), and orlando cabrera. All ( Read more... )

Okay Bush finally got around to replacing Sandra Day O'Connor. If only he had done it with someone good. The biggest problem with Harriet Miers is her complete lack of a judicial resume. Really she is just one of Bush's old cronies and i dont expect her to get passed even with a 55-44-1 senate. The Democrats showed that they are willing to appoint ( Read more... )
