Guns, Drugs, and everyone loses.

knoodleknight18 @knoodleknight18 (917) • United States 20 Jan 13

I find it funny that just a few months ago we had nearly the same heated argument that Marijuana should be legalized that we're now having about tougher legislation on guns. I might be wrong but I get the feeling based of party...

Four more years of Obama

knoodleknight18 @knoodleknight18 (917) • United States 17 Dec 12

As presidents tend to do a lot more in their second term. What are you expectations if any? I for one hope to see congress work on the budget instead of playing the standstill game for political gain which hurts everyone else....

Medical Marijuana a catch 22?

knoodleknight18 @knoodleknight18 (917) • United States 22 Oct 12

So, I'm walking by the TV and stop to watch a story on medical marijuana in Colorado. At one point it starts to discuss the legal issue. Which gets me, thinking while normally decriminalization is something the left pushes for,...

So I was watching the History channel as I often do. Specifically one of their many shows covering WW2. Usually interesting piece of history as it has long lasting impacts that effect us to this day. But what I found intriguing...

Notice a trend in politics around election time?

knoodleknight18 @knoodleknight18 (917) • United States 30 Jan 12

Not only is the news focusing more on the wrong issues about the candidates, so does the discussion here. It's like a big glaring reminder of how all of politics and basically congress ceases to much more than focus on elections...

Congress has a new record low approval rate

knoodleknight18 @knoodleknight18 (917) • United States 21 Jan 12

I'm more than a little concerned with this little tid bit of information. I realize this isn't representative of the entire population. But a proper sample pool is pretty close. Even a large margin of error couldn't show a rating...

We're all blindly marching to communism

knoodleknight18 @knoodleknight18 (917) • United States 18 Jan 12

I hate to point out the elephant in the room no one wants to talk about, it's basically the truth. I realized this while talking about the budget and our debt. There's a theory that basically states: if we enact enough laws and...

What progroms are you willing to give up?

knoodleknight18 @knoodleknight18 (917) • United States 3 Jan 12

We're getting to the point where everyone talks about making cuts in government spending and it's going to have to happen sooner or later. The government keeps talking about cuts to social security and things that would make a...

Voting on a president is like voting on you favorite fictional character.

knoodleknight18 @knoodleknight18 (917) • United States 28 Dec 11

So I'm reading through threads and I realize I don't know much about the candidates. Not a huge deal since I was last registered as a D I can't vote in the primaries. But to educate myself I figured I'd do a little research on...

Why corporate greed will eventually backfire

knoodleknight18 @knoodleknight18 (917) • United States 1 Aug 11

For years the economy has been slowly getting worse. Even 15 years ago there was talk about the disappearing middle class. Now if you look at the numbers what makes middle class isn't the bulk of the population, it's more like...

Why is it always about money?

knoodleknight18 @knoodleknight18 (917) • United States 26 Jul 11

Seems like all I hear anymore is whether or not to tax the rich, we don't need to spend money on this or that, spending cuts, the deficit, national debt, all about money. Then comes some line about being responsible and taking...

What's the difference?

knoodleknight18 @knoodleknight18 (917) • United States 20 Jul 11

Always been a debate of capitalism and communism but it always seems to compare leadership to distribution of goods and labor. So I have a few questions: 1 The difference between a union worker getting paid and not working;...

Is technology helping us more than it hurts us?

knoodleknight18 @knoodleknight18 (917) • United States 27 Jun 11

Remember the days when you knew most of the people in your neighborhood and the people that worked at the stores you went to? When you could go somewhere and talk to random people who were in the same place, or get something done...
