Ron Paul won straw poll at CPAC

ATrain @ATrain (56) • United States 20 Feb 10

So I am a liberal-leaning moderate but I am curious to ask conservatives: Do you think Ron Paul winning the straw poll at CPAC has any meaning and if so what does it mean? I've heard Mitt Romney won it the last 3 years in a row....

ATrain Possibly unless another republican or independent comes out who I like better (which I doubt). I like Ron Paul's ideas on foreign policy and civil liberties for the most part. That would also depend if he supports breaking the monopolies big banks and...

ATrain I don't know what you mean by "the two party thing is an illusion" they seem like completely separate entities. And he tried to get republicans to talk about health care when this whole thing started. I just can't understand how republicans can shoot down...

ATrain That's true he does have a very big vision for this country, but what president hasn't? Besides, he has done a lot less than he could to force his vision down our throats. He has put far less pressure than Nanci Pelosi(Who I hope loses her seat) on...

Excess surf

nophie @nophie (2336) • Indonesia 22 Feb 10

I just read the article about excess to surf. "Surfing the internet an hour a day for 5 days, could make the front of the brain become more active, associated with the level of inteligence (IQ) which can also be up." what do you...

ATrain I agree blogging (intelligently mind you) and playing games that involve puzzles or strategy could certainly increase your intelligence. It's kind of similar to having a Socratic seminar or playing a strategy game.

Is gridlock good for you and the country?

bobmnu @bobmnu (8157) • United States 22 Feb 10

Senator Bayh said he is leaving the Senate because of the Gridlock. Do you think Gridlock is good or bad?

ATrain I suppose gridlock in the Senate is good when everyone in Congress is proposing new spending legislation. Our national debt is already reaching dangerous levels (close to 100% of our GDP) and is skyrocketing. What I fear most is that when all of the current...

TARP money What should be done with it?

bobmnu @bobmnu (8157) • United States 22 Feb 10

Several Banks have started to pay back the TARP funds. According to the TARP law the money should go to reduce the National Debt. Now some in Washington DC feel that this money should be used to start new government programs? What...

ATrain I agree how about we pay off some of the debt with it like it was intended. After all some of that debt is from the TARP program itself. I think if it pays itself back then it's not such a bad deal. TARP was just a last ditch effort by the Bush...

ATrain He does love the US of course, and he is trying to do positive things. However, he is inexperienced. That is the main reason why he is not doing a good job right now.

Conspiracy ?

cryw0lf @cryw0lf (1302) • United Kingdom 22 Feb 10

Conspiracy or reality? Did he kill himself or was he murdered? Whats you're opinion?

ATrain Well he died of a drug overdose but no one knows if it was an accident or suicide. It's really impossible to tell.

ATrain Yea you would be surprised just how many calories you can consume by drinking soda. a can has about 180 calories, for 12 oz. I try to limit myself to 1-2 sodas per day, but it is hard because I am in college now so drink lots of sugary drinks besides soda now....

ATrain I don't think that it was a good idea I was going to the bathroom every 5-10 minutes for a couple of hours, and all that caffeine isn't good for you, especially if you are like me and have trouble sleeping sometimes anyways. So I wouldn't recommend it. It can...

ATrain I think that that is a serious problem if he would do something like that just to play video games. He might just have an addiction to video games I'm sorry to say. Perhaps you should do some online research to get a better idea.

ATrain I guess if people are just tolerant then they aren't respecting each other, and that may be what we need. As in, like actually acknowledging them as your equal. I think we can do this through making sure everyone is educated and that the world is more peaceful...

Computers you either love them or you hate them!

free_man @free_man (7330) • United States 21 Feb 10

I consider myself a computer geek you could say. I am one that loves the hectic way they keep me on top of myself. I like the ins and outs of the regestry hacks and all the system hacks you can do. I look it up on the net to see...

ATrain I think computers are great, they expand possibilities on many fronts of your life. For someone like me who is obviously a computer user but does not know exactly the ins and outs it can be frustrating when you are having problems, however.

MERCURY in thermometer

alexysabelle @alexysabelle (905) • Philippines 21 Feb 10

there is a recent controversy involving thermometer that contains mercury. it was proposed to be banned because of the danger it can cause to our health if it is broken and the content is inhaled. what do you say?

mercury

thermometer

3 responses

ATrain Yes I believe mercury in a thermometer is most harmful if it gets into the environment. It is less likely to kill many people by being inhaled directly

If Tripp Palin receives Socialized Medicine, why is it so evil??

Wendy @jerzgirl (9291) • United States 21 Feb 10

Sarah Palin has railed against any form of Socialized Medicine. Ill-informed citizens have carried placards saying "Keep the government's hands off my Medicare" - never once realizing that Medicare IS socialized medical care!...

ATrain Yes she is very loudly against "socialized medicine" however I suppose she does voice her support for privatizing social security. I don't think anyone could turn down medical coverage if they really needed it, and I doubt many people would be willing to even...
