The question is simple. Should it be legal for federal government to keep secrets from the people? This does not include confidential information such as social security information, medical history, etc. I'm asking if secrets such as who we assassinated today, weapons trade deals, the...

Bigoted bigot doesn't recognize bigot...not surprising. I was there once, too. Get over it, they're a harmless bunch of people, they just want rights like everyone else.

The accusation and predictable defenses are meaningless if you continue to vote Republican or Democrat, because either way you're a victim of some media pundit/journalist's inability to remain objective. Your average person simply lacks self-awareness that they are painfully uninformed on...

Isn't it odd to refer to one's self and one's relevance to society as an "instrument"? What's the difference between a local person that annoys the living guts out of you, has threatened to hurt you/your family, and expresses "radical views" as compared to your own, and between someone, say...

Obama was better at making people feel good, giving speeches, and believing in him. Hillary has always been more the decisive and stubborn type. I haven't always agreed with her stances and I rarely felt that she had more and better solutions than Obama, however I feel like she would have been...

Awesome location choice, my second-grade teacher lived in Peru for a while. Make sure you visit the rain forest (without a guide if possible), and don't be afraid to eat local cuisine. Not sure if chicken foot soup is one of them, but I hear it's tasty. I hope you have fun man.

Apologies in advance if a similar or identical question has already been asked. So...I assume killing other human beings is legally wrong and considered morally wrong in whichever society you live in. What makes it magically ok to kill other human beings that live outside of human-created...

Someone mentioned earlier that it's best watched while consuming/using some sort of drug, even if it's just alcohol. But if you didn't like the ape/monolith part, you obviously didn't fully "get it". That's my guess anyway.

It was directed towards Americans, you obviously have an entirely different voting system. Mere protesting in your case is an appropriate form of response.

Percent of American voters that will vote Republican or Democrat in 2012, keeping the same people in power that lacked well-planned solutions at the time of their election, and lack the open-mindedness, logic, and education to solve current, ever-changing problems...the same people that propose...

This is what happens when you have low voting standards, or none at all, and simply vote for the congressman with the biggest sign in front of your local library, or the person with the fancy speech.

Pre-sale tickets for Bonnaroo are sold out. What is the best way to get some? I'm trying to get 5 general admission tickets, but there is no way I can wait to chance it and hope to get some at the gate. I've never been to any of these huge festivals so I don't know how these ticket sales work...

What significant thing has Obama done in 4 years that has been positive? As much as he enjoys blaming the Republicans in Congress that simply vote against every proposal of his, he's missing the point. He was elected by morons too stupid to realize he had no substance to his views, too idiotic...

So far the negatives of Ron Paul that I have gathered from this thread: 1. Misplaced blame of economic crisis. Obviously a major flaw, and not a good sign for his economic views as a whole if he is unwilling to hold corporations accountable. Yet, still not something that by itself I would...

It's about consistency and logic. Although I will certainly find the killing a soldier does immoral according to my beliefs in nearly every single case, I recognize that some people don't find the general act of killing wrong. What you are doing is making exceptions to a moral belief in order...
