I find it very reassuring that so many of my beliefs are shared by the much wiser generation, thank you for your input Dragoness.

P.S. Clinton was the best president of my time, not only did he balance the national budget he also introduced many programs that will stay in affect for generations to come.

happy reading

Interesting quote from the same report "The government stockpile consists of more than 700 million barrels of crude oil stored in underground salt caverns in Louisiana and Texas."

A much more recent report http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/business/5370869.html

He is stockpiling it. For what reason I have no idea...

the more the merrier

How about we make use of some of Bush's oil wells in Texas that he inherited from his father to lower crude oil prices here in the U.S.?

Preach on Jasime

What about the people who need welfare just for short-term to help them get through difficult times in-between jobs?

Here in Indiana there is no work requirements to receive welfare.

Welcome to JSH

Welcome to JSH

I wasn't aware that it was already required to work 30 hours in tennessee to recieve benefits.

Also, I think my views are very educated for me only being 18...

That's what you get for not reading past the first line.

Myspace survey with some actual depth, just thought I'd share my views.

1. Are beauty contests harmful? If people get upset over petty things such as physical beauty they deserve the mental torment they inflict upon themselves.

2. Should Marijuana be legal? Yes, the legalization of marijuana has proven to lower prison capaity rates as well as other "hard" drug addictions, therefore legalizing marijuana would free up hundreds of thousands of dollars as well as lower crime rates.

3. Should abortion be illeagal? Absolutely not, it is the woman's choice to have the baby or to abort it, although after a certain length or time it is no longer abortion it's murder. Point of the story, if you choose not to use preventive methods then make a decision as soon as you know if you are pregnant.

4. Should schools be allowed to teach creationism alongside evolution as part of their science curriculum? No, this is one of the things the framers or "founding fathers" of our country decided on long ago and it still makes sense today. Separation of church and state is essential so each individual can form their own views on religion.

5. Should we create a database of DNA that can be used by police authorities in order to apprehend criminals? Yes, this would greatly reduce crime rates. I don't see a down side.

6. Should all school pupils be made to learn at least one foreign language? No, but each immigrant into our country should have to learn English until they can speak it so everyone can understand them. Que?

7. Should gambling be banned or severely restricted? I would say yes, but I'm not a big gambler so I could care less either way.

8. Should the government censor lyrics of songs that are violent or expletive, for example “gangsta” rap? No, and neither should the FCC. It's the responsibility of parents. There is such a thing as a "V-chip" people, look it up.

9. Should homosexual couples be allowed to marry? Yes, Marriage has been around long before Christianity came along and said it's wrong for homosexuals to marry. The Greeks of old practiced this act of companionship...

10. Should gays and lesbians be allowed into the armed forces? Yes, but they should be placed in a separate battalion then other recruits. Separate but equal...

11. Should HIV positive workers have to tell their employers of their status? Not unless it has anything pertaining to the job, such as if your employer is a pimp. lol

12. Should the minimum voting age be reduced to 16, or remain at 18? Honestly it wouldn't matter if they did. Statistics show that less than 20% of 18 year old registered voters go to the polls on the election day, that number would be even smaller with 16 and 17 year olds.

13. Do children have the right to know their biological parents? Yes, regardless of anything. A child should be given the opportunity to know his/her parents.

14. Should the religious slaughter of animals be banned? No, almost all religions have some sort of sacrifice ceremony to their god/gods. Once again, separation of church and state... (remember that adam sacrificed calves on the alter for god in the old testament)

15. Should schools require their students to wear a school uniform? Yes, this would reduce bullying and give poor students a chance to fit in.

16. Should children be given sex education in schools, or should this be the responsibility of the parents? Yes, less than 75% of parents ever have the "birds and the bees" talk with their children. It would make it much more comfortable, and it would be a fun class ^_^.

17. Should smoking be banned in public places? Yes, second hand smoke has been proven to cause lung cancer. People who have chosen not to smoke should not be subjected to it.

18. Should we ban or restrict the use of violent video games? No, not only is this based on ridiculas studies, it's against the 1st amendment and our bill of rights.

19. Should unemployed people be made to work for their welfare money?
Yes, 10 hours of community service a week sounds fair...

20. Should we ban the keeping of animals in zoos? My answer is yes, unless keeping those animals in a artificial habitat is going to save their species from over hunting, poaching, and extinction.

HoRaHH! Put that in your pipe and smoke it! =D... ~Xander29

welcome to JSH mate

The problem with getting into relationships with friends is you will quickly run out of friends if your relationships don't go well. My suggestion would be: since she already has a boyfriend try to keep it off your mind, when/if their relationship turns out bad, then would be the time to let her know how to feel about her. Just my opinion...
