Your cold button issue

[Akno21]

Day to day movements in Iraq. The big picture is more important to me.

Also agricultural.

I'm kinda shocked that someone could care so little about the environment, it's being ungrateful to your surroundings. We've got to protect that.

Oh, I should've put enviroment.  Whatever we do to it, I won't be around to see it.  Who cares

Why fix social security then? If you don't care about the future, why not just sit back and don't worry about anything, not just issues you don't want to care about.

The Enviornment

Which one?

The one with those silly green things that bud... what are they called?

Martians?

No, not those. Things that grow from the gorund and smell like plants? What are those things called again?

Thank you for acknowledging we need to fix SS, why?  Because I will be around then.  By the time any of the global warming hits, I'll be long dead.

I'm sure your grandkids will thank you. People are already suffering from smog, animals are already being killed (they have for 50 years), this stuff, maybe not global warming, but other stuff, is happening now.

Civil Rights issues.

Civil Rights issues.

Not that the government should always step in, but to say we have racial equality is ludicrous. On paper, yes, but in our minds, no. Of course, the government can't help there.

Gay Civil Rights

Yes, and StatesRights doesn't care.

Education

That's an interesting one, Jake.  Care to explain?

The analogy I like to use when talking about education and spending on it is this. Think of a massive incinerator, maybe at a lumber yard or a factory.  Now, think of a conveyor system that continuosly carries boxes into the incinerator.  The incinerator is funding of education in bad schools, the conveyor is the federal government, and the boxes are our money.  Education spending won't ever be cut to where it should be, and we'll never introduce a system based on responsibility.  

Ideally, we would have a system where we could permenantly kick students out of the public school system if they don't show an interest in learning. If a kid repeatedly acts up, doesn't work hard, and still does these things after being given second, third, fourth chances, they should be stripped of the privelege of education.  Americans these days think we should have alot more rights than we do.  The rights we have are in the constitution.  In none of my readings have I encountered a right to education.

Yet, this won't change, so I've decided not to care about it.

Now I understand.  You make some good points.  We have allowed the "rights" of those not interested in education to destroy the educational prospects for many who might be interested.  And political correctness will not allow us to acknowledge this reality, and change it.  I have said this myself many times over, in response to those who think additional funding plus forced integration is the answer to our worst education problems.

In Australian politics-Interest Rates. Sure it's important to people on mortgages, but I honestly don't give a crap atm.

In US politics-Social Security, mainly because I don't really understand the debate. Your current system is way too weird for me, so I've not really been following the debate on how to change it.

Anything involving gays or guns. I know gay people, and I have guns, but any issue surrounding them usually gets me snoring.

[No more McShame]

Public posting of the Ten Commandments.  I am neither offended nor drawn to action by it.

[Hatman 🍁]

Many Economic related isses. (eg. Social Security, Stocks, Bonds, Insider trading, investments whathave you... etc)

I'll admit I don't the last thing about these things, they don't interest me the slightest bit.  Maybe that's why I am where I am in the political compass.

The ball player steroid issues.

Abortion is close, because I'm not in favor of either extreme positions.

[Citizen James]

Steroids in baseball.

Don't these people have far more important issues to work on?   (or have they screwed up so much that it's better keeping them tied up on trivial matters?).

[nini2287]

School prayer...while I am strongly against it, I think our country has much more important issues facing it
