presidetial debate

The question about same sex marriges came up again in the democratic candidates ffor president and probably will again become an issue in the campaign, In my opinion the question is rediculous. marrige is A bond between A man and A woman,If two people of the same sex want to live together as A couple let them .If they want some official designation to tie them together let them form A partnership that way they have an official bond to tie them together and they can make their own rules as to what each partners rights are, The big question is the war in Eraq. Lets not throw in the towel yet.I know we are loosing some service peranel over there and that is to bad but if you were to check the statistics I will bet we have more homacides and accidental deaths per 100000 right here in the U.S.then we have in our military personel in Eraq and I would A lot rather be fighting the enemy over there then over here at home.If we pull out now we are just letting the enemy have A safe haven to reorganize and plan their next attacts on theU.S. And you can bet they will be doing just that. my oppinion by John

presidential candidates opinions

listeing to the questioning of the presidential cadidates on T V is quite enlightening. Some of the questions were about the war in Eraq and about Irans nucular bomb program. they all agree we dont want Iran to dovelop the nucular bomb and we should do whatever we can to prevent that. The democrats want us to pull out of Eraq. If we pull out Of Eraq before the job is done what kind of messge is that sending to Iran and North Korea.It is the U.S. dosnt have the guts to fight A tough fight so why wory about what they say. We all know Eraq is A mess mostly due to the eraqe people themselves and the neighboring countries that are doing their best to see that we dont succeed in getting the country united with one government to represent all the people and stop the killing. I know we have had over 3000 of our troops killed over there and I hate to see even one killed but you must realize we have over 140000 trops over there and if you were to track 140000 people in the U.S. over A period of five years you would find that A lot more were killed in accidents and homicides then were killed in Eraq ouer A five Year period.you cant fight A war without some casualties but we cant sit and not put up A fight and be kiled off like A bunch of sheep.Remember in 9-11 they killed 3000 of us in one day. my opinion by John.

english

Lets make the english language the official languagef the U.S.thereby making us one nation speaking one language. Lets not grant citizen ship to anyone who cant speak english and cancel the directive that all government documents and directivs be printed in mutiple languages,That is costing us billions of dollars and thereby encouraging diffrent ethic groups to continue using their native language thereby creating A diversity of languages that could lead to diversity and discontent between the diffrent speaking groups and eventualy lead to connfrontation as in Eraq where diffrents sectarian tribes are killing each other off by the hundreds and could eventualy lead to A civil war.All official government documents and ballots should be printed in the engliush language only. my opinion by John

polatics

We are hearing A lot about and from polatcians looking for jobs these days and when it comes right down to it its mostly about money. The fact is we have to many rich people in washington making laws to benefit themselves and the rich people that are supplying the money to keep them in office. Of course the one that has the most money to spend to make you believe he will do you the most good.If he or she can convince you that they are going to reduce your taxes you will probably vote for them. Our tax system is bad because it is making the rich people richer at the expense of the general public. Some company C.O,s movie stars T V hosts and prominant sports figures just to name A few are making any were up to A hundred million dollars A year. If we were to raise the personal income tax on our present tax system one percent for every five hundred thousand after the first five hundred thousand up to 80 percent the governmant would have enough money to pay off the nationaldebt ,finance A national health system and have money to send grants to the states to fix roads hospitals andschools and whatever else that would benefit the general public. At thet rate of taxation if you were making fifteen million A year you would have approximatly seven million left after taxes. you could spend one million and still have six million left to put in the bank give away or whatever. We shouldnt put A heavy tax burdon on companys or corporations because they are what are creating the jobs that people need to make A living and pay taxes. we shold be taxing the people that are making all the money from the companys. Now we are hearing tolk again about A flat tax of 17 or 20 percent or A national sales tax.that again would benefit the richest people by cutting their taxes by as much as 50 percent at the expense of the general public. Another gimic is to eliminate the inheritance tax.Who is going to benefit by that, we alreaddy have A six million exemption so that again would benefit only the five or ten percent of the richest people in the nation. If you lived in this country and made A lot of money in your life time you ought to be willing to give some of it back when you die. My opinion by John

justice

Where is the justice in this world. why is it that the U.S. is all over the world trying to help other countries,spending A lot of money there and in many cases putting our troops at risk and we are still hated by most of those coutries if you canbelieve what you read in the news reports. It seems everybody hates the U.S. but they all want to come to the states any way they can legaly or otherwise. If genocide is being commited or people are starving or some mager catastrophy happens in some other country the U.S. is expected to be there to help them out. If we dont do anything about it we are criticised for not doing anything about it. In Eraq we are spending millions of dollars and sacraficeing some of our best young people trying to end the genocide and give the people their freedom and we are being blamed for the genocide that is going on there by the very people we are trying to save and the neighboring countries that are doing their best to see to it that we dont succeed. What is the answer" Jealousy is the root of all evil,If you are jealous of some one you want to destroy them or at least tear them down to your own level, MY opinion by John Zilverberg.

decency and respect

Our morals decency and respect for others is rapidly being deroded in this country,Mostly by showes that we watch on t, v, these days. one show that seems to be very popular and evidently has good ratings is an example, the show is humorus at times but has A lot of neativity in it. The family is constantly bickering, Puttind each other down. showing A lot of jealousy ,being down right rude to each other and using language that I would consider unacceptible in A decent society.I would hate to live in A family that acted that way and if I had young children I would not want them to watch that kind of shows for fear they would grow up thinking that kind of performance would be accepable for them and grow up to be the same kind of repulive individuals. john.

racism

Racism is becoming A big issue latley fired by people like Reverands Sharpton and jesse Jackson. they never failto bring up the issue and make A big issue out of it every chance they get. The Imus case is an example. They will destroy A white person every chance they get, they are breeding hate in their following in the black community and driving A wedge between the black and white communities, that is creating more hate and discord on both sides. That is starting with words and will eventualy lead to violance that will tear the country apart and could eventualy lead to diffrent factions attacking and killing each other as the people in eraqi are doing now. We all can make mistakes on occasion, If we recant and appolagize A little forgivness would be good for the soul. How about A little tolerance and cooperation to keep any difrences we have low key so we can have A plesant and peaceful community. John
