I went to a live video conference last night with Gary Johnson. I really liked almost all he had to say. He seems to me the guy who could bring both parties together and actually make some real changes in this country. Have you guys heard of him and why or why not vote for him? I am pretty disappointed that he has not been invited to a debate. It would be much better to be able to judge him against other candidates, with the same questions. Check out his website if you have not heard of him and weigh in with your thoughts! http://www.garyjohnson2012.com/issues

My half-brother (we share a mom) is a convicted felon and his DNA is on record. If one of my sons should comit a crime where DNA was involved would they be able to get a partial match from my brother's DNA? Or is it too convoluted?

I am not talking go int to Iraq but doing public service works. For example, my son is going to college for nursing, he could work 2 years at a military hospital or veterans home. Get some experience and see if that was the career for him. I think it would give more of our youth pride in their country and for themselves. I also think an additional 2 years to grow up before they have to make life time decisions is not necessarily a bad thing.

To show our displeasure with TSA should we boycott the planes for a couple weeks, I bet the airlines would get the TSA straightened out right quick!

These comments are ridiculous and very tedious. Please quit asking them in here. This is the politics section not the tell me what you think is morally correct section.

Hey, bored at work one day I decided to have a little history nerd fun and created this fake facebook page for my alter ego, Beth the Dictator....contribute if you dare...either conversations or famous or little know dictators...

I was at home cooking breakfast while my kids watched Sesame Street. My brother called and asked if I was watching the news...

I'm only half way through but so far i'm not impressed. Way to much "Remember when" in there. This is a book you should have to read the other 5 books first to read!

I know very little, except what I have seen on Law & Order about cutting. My 14 yr. old niece has had a pretty hard life and is currently living with my parents. They noticed last month she had cut "DYING TO LIVE" in her leg. My mom then noticed she has slash marks on her upper thighs. My mom is going to take her to counseling but she has gone before and simply tells the therapist everything is fine...Any suggestions to help either as "crutches" for the cutting or in getting her to talk?

I know I would sure like to give it a try...

I am asking this in all seriousness. I have never from Sunday school til now thought this made sense. If he is the all knowing, all might why couldn't he just say "Ok, your forgiven"?

This is not being asked in just. I am truly interested in the answers.

I'm working

I own a small independent book store and have people ask me on a regular basis if I am a Christian. Whether I am or not is irrelevant. I believe it is not an appropriate question to ask an acquaintance. Yes or No...

Man that guy was such a jerk! I really think when he was called in by the Hooter CEO he should have been fired not just asked to apologize to his staff. Any one else agree?

Ok, ignorant American here....Is this correct, during the entire game each team gets 2 substitutes? If someone gets a red card they can NOT be substituted (the team would play a player down)? Or if they have not used all the substitutions they can put another player in...Also, 2 yellow cards equals a red and a player would be ejected? And if ejected you have to sit out the current game and the next? Thanks!

Me and my family were wondering this...Does it all go to the television stations? Does the host country get some of the money? And lastly do the players in the World Cup get paid or is it a prestige thing?

I am sooo tired of seeing school questions in the history section (among other sections). Most of the kids aren't even discreet about it! One yesterday (who reported me after I told him to do his own homework) asked for the answer in paragraph form!

I am looking to start a business. I am applying at banks and have an private investor interested. Can you tell me what sort of interest rate I can expect?
