Teyjattt I'd say politicians, on both sides of the aisle, are more concerned about getting re-elected than doing what's right for the country. While I tend to agree with the tenants of the tea party, now is not the time to be hard-nosed about the budget. We have had...

The myth of the red and blue. Are both sides just alike and have the same goals?

EvanHunter @EvanHunter (4026) • United States 26 May 10

The other day I was watching Jessy Ventura (James Janos or former Governor Ventura) he is a confirmed independent who was discussing the current political scheme and he was saying politics is no different than wrestling, on camera...

Teyjattt I generally tend to agree. Their goals are to get in office, stay in office, and get more power. As one of my friends have pointed out, Republicans and Democrats are just different sides of the same coin. Your Futurama reference makes me think of the recent...

War? What about assassination as an option? Here me out.

EvanHunter @EvanHunter (4026) • United States 24 May 10

Some would argue it is against the Geneva convention that it is an act of terrorism and so on but think of all the lives that could have been saved if we would have just killed Saddam Hussein without an invasion. Of course that...

Teyjattt I love your idea. But there is more at risk that just personal backlash against politicians. If we assassinated Kim Jong-Il (sp?) then I could see a few things happening. 1) He'd be replaced by someone just like him, if not worse. 2) North Korea would likely...

Teyjattt Why is she so anti-Bush and pro-Obama and still wanting to have the health care bill repealed? I thought the majority of those wanting to have the health care bill repealed were conservative (at least fiscally).

Teyjattt Sadly you MAY get hurt for wearing it. Nobody has come out and said it, but it is possible. Now with that being said, you could also argue that you should never ride in a car, because of the large number of fatal car accidents, and drunk drivers, and...... My...

When it comes to politics I would be considered a bad Christian by most

EvanHunter @EvanHunter (4026) • United States 27 May 10

I don't follow the right wing conservative group that most Christians see as being right. To me Jesus was a rebel and that is what we need today too many Christians have just rolled over on issues and believe everything someone...

Teyjattt I think the problem is more that people tend to think that their way is the 'right' way, and any other way must be wrong. This isn't necessarily only a problem with Christians, as I feel from my experience that a lot of people are like this regardless of...

What's the story behind your username?

kangel48446 @kangel48446 (507) • United States 9 Jul 09

I'm sure that everyone has their own explanation for the name that they chose on Mylot, so let's hear yours? My user name is because [k] Karri [angel] is what my husband calls me and [48446] is the zipcode of my hometown.

Teyjattt Ironically, the best answer to your question would be that it depends on your religion. Some faiths like Christianity believe it's very important. Others, like Buddhism, it's not quite as important. Buddhists for example believe that all people will be reborn,...

mermaidivy @mermaidivy (15395) • United States 9 Jul 09

Do Christians really pray ?

Gordano @Gordano (795) • United States 9 Jul 09

Teyjattt Did you really tag your discussion with 'Muslims are the true followers of Jesus'? You do realize they don't follow Jesus, but follow Muhammed. Granted they may have some similar teachings, but they don't follow Jesus. I believe they don't even consider him a...

Teyjattt I used to drink 5, 6, or even 7 cups a day. Then I found out that there was a study that determined that only one cup of coffee a day can reduce your chances of conceiving by 50%. I quit cold turkey, since my wife and I are wanting to have a child. It was...

IRA, what would you do with it?

lilybug @lilybug (21107) • United States 4 Dec 08

I had a 401K when I was a manager at a fast food joint a few years ago. It did not really have much money in it since I had only had it a short time when I switched jobs. I rolled it over into an IRA, and have not touched it. It...

Teyjattt I would invest all of it, for two reasons: 1) The economy is slow right now so stocks are DIRT cheap. I've increased the amount I put in to my 401k for this very reason. 2) If you pull it out now, you not only pay taxes on it (if it isn't a Roth IRA) but you...

Teyjattt What's sad is that the $700 billion bail out comes to about $17,000 per household (I've heard as high as $23k per family, but 17 is the most conservative number I've seen so far). So that is a realistic number they could send to each family instead of dumping...
