1 AnswerSingles & Dating6 years agoWould Barack Obama fly the Air Force One over Donetsk?
Mr Obama has called the Russian rebels "terrorists". He has accused Russia of supplying them with sophisticated weapons. Yet he does not see anything wrong in flying a passenger plane over the enemy's antiaircraft weapons.
4 AnswersCurrent Events7 years agoIs Barack Obama getting paranoid?
The US state department has published a list of Russian politicians whom they want to subject to sanctions. Making lists of enemies is a behaviour associated with paranoia. When it becomes an official policy of the government, is it a sign that the leaders became "coocoo bananas"?
3 AnswersCurrent Events7 years agoHey Ladies! Is the father of your children the kind of a man you want us to be?
Men rule but women control the future. By choosing fathers for their children women predetermine what kind of men the next generation is going to be. It is obvious to me that women have the ultimate power. The question is how they use it.
3 AnswersGender & Women's Studies8 years agoShould people like Adam Lanza have the right to posses firearms?
The right to bear arms means that murderous sociopaths can carry out preparations, such as purchase of guns, without any interference. Until they start shooting nothing can be legaly done to stop them and after they kill it is too late.
11 AnswersLaw & Ethics8 years agoIs it possible to buy and install BASIC on Acer computer?
When I go to a computer store and ask about BASIC all I get is a perplexed gaze. I need a programming language because not everything can be done on a spreadsheet.
2 AnswersSoftware9 years agoCan a private person bring a criminal case to the court?
If I understand the news correctly, a man shot un unarmed man and claimed self-defence. The police accepted his claim and did not charge him with a manslaughter. The courts have the final authority to decide guilt or innocence but if the police does not initiate the proceedings the court will not hear the case. In ancient times, when there were no state attorneys, the relatives of the victim used to bring cases to the court. I would like to know whether this practise has ever been formally abolished or it has merely gone out of use but it is still a valid legal option when the police refuses to fulfil their responsibility.
8 AnswersLaw & Ethics9 years agoIs Rick Santorum willing to spend taxpayers' money to support children out of wedlock?
He made headlines world wide when he expressed an opinion that a woman should carry a child even when her pregnancy is the result of a rape. In the following outrage, somehow, nobody asked him the logical follow up question. If the abortion is outlawed then millions of unwanted pregnancies will result in birth of millions of unwanted children, most of them to the fathers who probably will not want to support them. Is he willing to establish public funding for raising bastards or he thinks that raising those unwanted gifts from God is the sole responsibility of their mothers?
I am just curious.
3 AnswersGovernment9 years agoDo Canadians deserve civil rights in USA?
Hey Americans, I have got the impression that you begin to believe that civil rights apply to the American citizens only. Does this mean that if I visit USA I should be afraid of being arrested for something I have not done and executed without trial?

8 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWhy do we need a parliament in Canada?
We can elect our representatives but they can only vote "yes" because as soon as the majority of members of parliament vote against the government the parliament is dissolved. So what is the point of having elections in the first place?
2 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoHow are the gasoline prices in USA?
In Canada the gas prices have reached an all time high. I suspect this has something to do with your war against Libya.

2 AnswersHistory1 decade agoDo you believe Barack Obama?
Barack Obama says that he ordered an attack on Libya to protect CIVILIANS but media reports show ARMED rebels, so who is the liar here - the president or the media?
11 AnswersCurrent Events1 decade agoWill the governor of Wisconsin carry his policy to its logical end?
The proud state of Wisconsin is in financial troubles. Its governor figured out a brilliant solution: "We do not have enough money to pay public employees, so let's pay them less" However, cutting costs without raising revenues has very little effect, so it might happen that after he strips them of their pensions, benefits or whatever he wants to strip them of, the budget deficit will still remain. In such situation, will he carry his policy a step farther and reintroduce slavery?
Please do not misunderstand me! I do not postulate the enslavement of public employees. I merely suggest that this would be a logical end point of the policy of cutting costs at their expense.
7 AnswersCivic Participation1 decade agoShould private businesses be allowed to sell crack cocaine to school kids?
I have read recently a lot of claims that private business should be allowed to operate as they please. I wonder, those conservatives who call themselves "libertarians" do they really believe what they say or is all this talk about private business being private just b.s.?
6 AnswersLaw & Ethics1 decade agoIs the word ironic appropriate in reference to Dali Lama receiving a medal for spreading democracy?

2 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoHow do you like a soap opera called "The Palin Family"?

2 AnswersOther - Family & Relationships1 decade agoWhy Americans are so afraid of terrorists?
Aeroplanes crush sometimes for technical reasons. People die in traffic accidents. Every year thousands of people in USA are murdered. All of this Americans take as facts of life, without loosing any sleep. Suddenly, one f****n idiot tries to blow himself in a plane and USA goes into a full panic mode.
