Ok, now that the Central Committee has seized GM, making it a government owned company, what if other countries do the same thing. GM has plants, dealerships and other assets in many countries. How would you react to the...

jonesy123 Curiosity is getting the better of me. I know it's off topic, but nosy me wants to know, lol, are you still supporting Obama? If yes, has your opinion about him in any way changed due to the policies he has pursued?

okay so there has been a lot of discussion lately on obama. Grant it I am kind of one that actually thinks obama being in as president is a good thing. Just because when a democrat has been office before things were good and jobs...

jonesy123 Well, then please add your site to the argument. But please something else than just applause. I'd like to see some real arguments as to why what Obama did is great and why what Bush did is wrong. Just saying so doesn't really cut it. There are only a few...

jonesy123 You could do something about it by becoming politically active and by running for office. If you manage not to succumb to the temptation of corruption and bribery that so many of the elected officials fall pray to and you manage to maintain a clean plate so to...

A few weeks ago, the Department of Homeland Security warned the American people of the threat from far right wing groups. Within seconds the right wing attack machine was up and running, attacking the department, and calling...

jonesy123 Oh, you also claim the DHS warned of an attack from that particular group. That would be an easy assessment to make and they didn't even need the new criteria for that. That group is so extreme, it was only a matter of time. But I guess now we have to fear an...

jonesy123 Okay, I take it back. I did some digging, they did arrest somebody. Still, there are fanatics everywhere and those anti-abortion activists have been on the watch lists for much longer than the new administration has even been a player in the political arena....

Last Thursday, May 28th I flew from the UK to Illinois with my husband who is a UK citizen. We went to check in and I could not believe the ignorance of the girl we had. She checked my passport - I am a US citizen - then she...

jonesy123 Well, that's a problem in the UK then, not here. I'm not sure what your congressman here in the US could do about it. If they travel here, they need to provide a visa with proper picture.

jonesy123 missybal, I had to look that up, too. I had no idea who he was. I have to add, somebody who went to a real life drowning experience before (not training but real life and death situation), especially as a child, will carry this trauma for the rest of their...

jonesy123 It's funny though how they only in the last half year got really strong in that Valley there. And who exactly told us during the campaign that he is going to take care of that war in Afghanistan and Osama bin Laden once and for all and by all means necessary?...

jonesy123 Well, but why oh why doesn't Obama release what results they got from the waterboarding? There must have been something good. It is more likely that they got real results which is really inconvenient for Obama to let people know that. If they are that...

jonesy123 Well, you know, who you vote for is your secret;) But honestly, the reason I missed the deadline was that I'm too busy to research the candidates and time flew by. Germany has a federal election in the fall. I'll have to try and make that deadline. It's a...

jonesy123 Lol, do you think those terrorists just did the 9/11 attacks and called it a day? There have been loud calls for release of more documents from those who were privy to the information and know the results. Obama only released what suited him. Just enough to...

One of the first things Obama loudly proclaimed was that Guantanamo Bay will be closed. Well, that now opened a nice can of worms for him. Nobody wants those detainees. None of the US states wants them, definitely not living as...

jonesy123 I don't think it'll change any perception. It doesn't matter if you let them stay at Gitmo or here in the US in some prison. The focus will still stay on that they are here at place xyz and now to add to that they might not be prosecuted at all. That gives...

jonesy123 So in essence it would be better to keep Guantanamo open and the trials going. I'm for that. There is no need to move them. Our prisons are already overcrowded, how are they going to accomplish isolation from the general population? And yes, no trial is...

jonesy123 She actually places the students who are in the upper quarter in front of computers to learn advanced material while she teaches the rest. Alternatively, she sends them on errands or tells them to teach those who didn't get the material yet. It's really weird....
