Things to see/do in NYC that aren't included in "main attractions"?
Visiting NYC in early November for the second time. I will be there for a week. Are there any suggestions for things to see or do in or around the city that aren't easily found by searching the web? The only things I can find are the usual, Time Square, Museums, Grand Central...etc.
4 AnswersNew York City1 decade agoStop saying the pledge in schools?
This is America, shouldn't it's citizens be proud to say the pledge like citizens are in other countries?
Does anyone else find this offensive to the country? I believe if parents do not want their children to say the Pledge of Allegiance then they should leave the country. If you don't like it, leave, plain and simple. When are people going to stop bowing down to the minority figure of people who want these things in this country...it has gotten out of hand.
5 AnswersOther - Politics & Government1 decade agoWhy hype up a turnout on a march on Washington only to call it a failure...?
if as many people who are "said" to be expected to show, don't?
Especially when this is a march on Washington by taxpayers...you know, those people who actually have jobs and pay taxes and who may not have been able to take the time off work to make it to the March.
5 AnswersOther - Politics & Government1 decade agoIs it a double standard of tolleration of disrespect?
Bush got boo'd at his last couple of speeches by congressmen sitting at his addresses. Obama got called a liar. These are both forms of verbal disagreement and disrespect. Why is it okay for people to boo one president but not object to the next?
I just heard here at work, someone say "I can handle the booing, it is a form of disagreement, but calling the president a liar is a complete other situation"
5 AnswersOther - Politics & Government1 decade agoHow do they propose we get rid of some of these people?
Nina Fedoroff told the BBC One Planet programme that humans had exceeded the Earth's "limits of sustainability".
Dr Fedoroff has been the science and technology advisor to the US secretary of state since 2007, initially working with Condoleezza Rice.
Under the new Obama administration, she now advises Hillary Clinton.
"We need to continue to decrease the growth rate of the global population; the planet can't support many more people," Dr Fedoroff said,
How do you "decrease the growth rate?" Tax them to death like they do in China? Fix little girls so that they can't reproduce?
7 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWhere is the ACLU for the smokers being unfairly taxed to pay for illegal immigrants health insurance?

6 AnswersOther - Politics & Government1 decade ago"Economic" Death Penalty Ban?
They are thinking of overturning the death penalty because it is, I suppose, too expensive.
Doesn't it make more sense to kill more of them faster, to get them out of the prison system? Wouldn't it be cheaper than letting them sit in prison for years?
5 AnswersOther - Politics & Government1 decade agoLiberals want to ban the use of the word God in all of the United States because...?
it may be offensive to some, but out of the same breath these people can defend the right for terrorists to have their freedom. If we allow this castration of the religion in this country and continue to cater to the muslim terrorists, will we not end up in a worse predicament?

Some people translated the koran for others to read...
These people's own judges are afraid of making a decision that might piss off the religious leaders, and people in this country whine and complain about the ten commandments being posted outside a courthouse when they don't even have to look at it as they walk by.

25 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoHow long will it be before Obama appeases Iran?
Since Obama's press appearance to the arab nations yesterday, Ahmadinejad is calling for the U.S. to appologize directly to them and to give up support of Israel. They hate us no matter what, so how long will it be before we lose our allies because our president wants to try to make the muslims happy?
9 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoThis is for the supporters of closing GITMO.?
What would be your thoughts if a person not liking the way you live came into your home and killed your family members. They are then caught, detained and living in prison where they belong, only to have the president let them go free to do it to another family. It's the same scenerio, just on a smaller scale. How would you feel about that?

13 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWhy was Bush expected to take responsibility for...?
the whole Katrina thing? And why are people so concerned with it?
I live in houston where all of those low life Katrina "victims" went. The majority of them anyhow. Some still linger here and there. I also went through Ike this past summer and you don't see the people of galveston and houston and others clear up the path of that thing into NY crying about the government not helping them. I would like to know exactly why that falls on Bush's lap when the local government failed to take care of it's own people? And why does this subject continue to come up...it was years ago.

4 AnswersElections1 decade agoWhat is with the play on words in the Obama campaign?
Okay, I have heard how Obama didn't take the American Flag off of his plane, it "resembled" the American Flag. I have heard Obama make plays on words about things said by people he is/has associated with to make it seem as though what people heard isn't true. Tell me this....If Obama were on stage and shot a man dead in front of a crowd of 100k people, do you think that he could just turn to the crowd and tell them some made up story about how what they just saw was a figment of their imagination and people would believe him?
The Messiah has spoken, it must be true!
21 AnswersElections1 decade agoIs this the sort of country you would like to live in?
Obama's party has tried and continues to try to shut people up that don't support him. The secret service has shown up at a home because an Obama campaign volunteer made a false claim. Is this what we have to look forward to with Obama's big "changes"?
Be prepared to live a communist life where you are not allowed to utter one negative thing about your dictator. Just like they live in N. Korea, Cuba.
