So Are Immigrants Supposed to Become Citizens BEFORE They Immigrate?

Uncle Jay, Finding More Value in Your Machine @mythociate (21432) • Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 9 May 13

STOP AMNESTY https://www.facebook.com/pages/Stop-Amnesty/412627778833810 (below) has something against President Obama's apparent pledge to grant citizenship to illegal aliens. I don't get it, explain this to me

bobmnu What this group is trying to say is that if you grant the citizenship rights to the illegals that are here it will cost us because they will qualify for government programs. I have always supported the idea that we need to secure our borders first, then deal...

Would you support a Domestic Violence Act?

Taskr36 @Taskr36 (13963) • United States 25 Apr 13

Nothing really complicated to this one. I'm just asking because there was that big mess over the Violence Against Women Act that a number of republicans voted against. There were several issues with the bill, but one thing that...

bobmnu Why do we need a Domestic Violence Act? If you hit someone it is battery, if you threaten someone that is assault and to kill someone is murder.

Where are the Ban Hammers?

matersfish @matersfish (6306) • United States 24 Apr 13

Just something I'm wondering -- not a big deal and certainly not the first time it's been addressed. But pressure cooker bombs don't seem to strike the same chord as guns. When there's gun violence in Anytown USA, not only do...

bobmnu Forget about pressure cookers lets ban private cars. The government must consider them dangerous as you are required to register your car every year or so. To use a car you must apply to the state and take a test to get permission to drive. owning a car is an...
