  • I wonder why none of the presidential candidates talk about poor people?

    In all of their speeches, the candidates as well as their running mates refer to middle-class Americans. I simply wonder, if for these politicians, poor people have simply ceased to exist or they have all graduated to the middle class category?

    Really, if you think...shouldn't these candidates, whose heart beats for America, at least, even if its for perception sakes', also involve poor people in their scheme or vision of things for this country?

  • Preacher's A**!?

    Its an old joke but still wanted to share with ya all...:)

    A Preacher was trying to raise some money for his parish. So on being told that he could make some dough by racing horses, he decided to get one. But by the time he reached the auction site, all the horses had been sold out and he had to settle for a donkey (a**) instead.

    When the race was held next time, lo behold...Preacher'animal came third. So the next day the local newspaper ran the headline: "Preacher's A** Shows!".

    In the next race, it came first...this time the headline ran:

    "Preacher's A** out in the front!"

    The Bishop was not at all amused by this kinda publicity, and so directed the Preacher to get rid of the animal. Preacher did what he was told and sold the animal to a Nun in a nearby convent. This time the headline ran:

    "Nun has the best a** in town!"

    This again made the Bishop angry...so he directed the Nun to get rid of the animal too. The Nun sold the animal to a farmer in a nearby village.

    "No, big deal" replied the Russian "I can stand in front of the Kremlin, and shout that President Reagan is a fool, and nothing will happen to me either!"

  • American society?

    Why is humility or modesty not one of the virtues of the American culture or society? Is it because of too much relaince on individualism or is 'coz of too much competitive spirit? This, is IMO, the greatest difference between American (West in general) and the rest of the world! What do you think?

  • Nehru-Gandhi dynasty in India...?

    I think Nehru-Gandhi dynasty is a bane for India, these guys have been a hurdle on India's path to progress...can't Indian people see that these parasites have contributed nothing towards the well-being of India...rather Sonia Maino & her brood treat this nation as their personal fiefdom. And on top of that, we have their lackeys -- Congress party members-- who have set new records in sycophancy...so much so if Sonia or her two good-for-nothing kids spit out some phlegm, these Congress people will readily lick it....it seems if this much of appreciation & idol worship had been shown towards the nation by these lackeys, India would have been elevated to the status of a developed nation long back!

    Whats ur opinion about this dynasty who tends to rule India by proxy? (with the moron PM just acting as a bench-warmer for Raul beta..)

  • Creation vs. Evolution Debate....all the way to US Supreme Court...?

    IMO its nothing but a colossal waste of time, money & resources...see even if the Court decides tomorrow in the favor of either of the viewpoints....will it make a difference...will it make this country, this planet any better....I don't think so...and frankly speaking all those propagating this debate should let the rest of us common folks get on with lives....I care two hoots about where I came from...I have other pressing concerns to worry about...like day-to-day living...I guess its more due to the litigious nature of us Americans that we rush in to litigate about anything that catches our fancy thereby driving costs of doing business, costs of living and other sundry things up. Don't we realize that while the rest of the world is moving ahead with new ideas (eg. stem-cell research) we are still debating these kinda irrelevant issues..what do u ppl. think?

  • How may of you have heard of fmr. Sen. Mike Gravel as a Democratic Presidential candidate?

    I watched him in the debate in South Carolina...and frankly speaking I was very impressed...IMO both Clinton & Obama are more of a media hype...and I m quite wary of them...wouldn't it be good if we had someone who was more down-to-earth and could represent us (the common folks)...than all these other media-sensations.

    On the other hand on the Republican side...Dr. Ron Paul seems to be a good candidate...ideally it would be gr8 if these two guys end up getting the nominations from their respective parties....but to be pragmatic I don't think it will happen.

    What do u all think?

  • We (America) claim to be the most modern nation on the face of earth...but isn't it surprising...?

    ...that we can't afford healthcare to our own citizens. The govt. gladly subsidizes big fat corporations (agri-businesses like big farmers etc.) but won't even think of subsidizing health-care....ppl. go bankrupt...land up on streets...with their credit as well as lives ruined...what do u think?

  • Car problem -- Nissan Altima '94:Drivability issue?

    Couple of days ago, my car while going smoothly suddenly stalled in the middle of the road...nothing was wrong, it seemed 'coz I didn't see any warning signs like Engine light or Battery sign showing up. After trying to restart it again-n-again, it finally started around 10 minutes later. But after driving couple of miles, this problem resurfaced and again I had to wait for sometime before I get going. I took it to the mechnaic next day, after parking it over-nite in a strip-mall parking space...he was unable to diagnose the problem as after he started the car it kept on goin without ever stopping...n it didn't give any problem till the end of the day when the problem surfaced again.

    I was wondering if the orcales over here at YA could probably help me in understanding what the problem might be...'coz at least to my understanding its not the battery as all the lights are working fine...is it the starter or alternator that might be the cause of the mal-function..TKA for any advice!

  • Do you believe in destiny (karma)?

    Now...plz. don't give me that mumbo-jumbo about a man being master of his destiny...I agree to a certain extent, he/she is...but there are many things in life that you don't have any control over...like being born, the way you are bought up, the kind of values that are inculcated in you, the relatives you have...or many times you found urself in situations you never would have imagined in ur wildest of dreams...or the way your experiences in life change you...

    My point basically is...theres something going on, which is already pre-ordained and u will reach ultimately reach where you are destined to go...
