• Question:-Three women win the Nobel Peace Prize for the advacement of women's rights...?
  Do cons still think the Nobel Peace Prize is a worthless award? A couple of years ago, that's all you read on here, what a joke the Nobel was.
  
  The 10 million kronor ($1.5 million) award was split three ways between Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, women's rights activist Leymah Gbowee from the same African country and democracy activist Tawakkul Karman of Yemen — the first Arab woman to win the prize

  Answer:-The cons were never RIGHT to begin with about it being a "worthless" reward. It actually comes with a hefty check, so it damn sure is worth SOMETHING!
  
  They were just PO'ed because another democrat got one......and starting fake wars just doesnt cut the mustard.

• Question:-Sarah Palin Endorses Ohio Issue 2 As Anti-Union Measure Heads To A Vote. Do you think it will win? If so, why?
  
  Ohio's Issue 2, a referendum on a controversial law curtailing collective bargaining rights for public employees, picked up the endorsement of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin Friday.
  
  A "yes" vote on the issue would uphold S.B. 5, which bans public employees from being able to collectively bargain for benefits and requires employees to pay a certain percentage of their health and pension benefits. A "no" vote repeals the law.
  
  Answer:-

• Question:-Why was Ohio Issue 4 withdrawn from the ballot? Your thoughts on this proposed law?
  Why was Ohio Issue 4 withdrawn from the ballot? I thought this was supposed to be a vote for the people. Why couldn't the people get a say in this?
  
  Anyhow.....
  It requires businesses with 25+ employees to provide their employees with at least 7 days of sick leave.
  
  Critics say:
  -This would kill jobs in Ohio as it would persuade businesses not to move here
  -This would make it easier for people to cheat by missing work when they aren't sick
  
  Well guess what.....
  1. There are far more issues of greater importance when deciding where to move, and businesses don't moving decisions based on issues of that low level of pettyness.
  2. Not having sick people come to work and spread their germs is far more important than 'catching cheaters'.....people who cheat on sick leave is an unfortunate side effect but it's a small price to pay in order to have a germ-free working environment. & besides, if someone doesn't show up to work, but they dont fall behind in their work, what harm does that do?
  3. Most businesses already provide their employees with more than 7 days of sick leave. That's what they are already providing them with! So why not just make it an official right, given the importance it plays in not having sick people coming to work?
  
  Your thoughts?
  And for the record: The more vacation time people get; the more well-rested and energized they will be when they do show up. That could lead to increased effeciency rather than decreased.
  and 7 days is hardly anything.
  If you're against this proposed law..............then tell me, do you expect sick people to come to work when they are:
  A. in terrible condition
  B. contagious and spreading germs to tohers
  ?

• Question:-Should I vote "yes" or "no" on issue 2 in ohio?
  I'm not really up to date with politcal details, so could someone explain to me what is the adavatages/disadvantages if I vote yes/no?
  
  Answer:-the state has a monopoly on public jobs such as police fire and teachers. But they want to limit the rights of workers to negotiate a wage? If you trust that the goverment is going to give people a fair wage and people should just accept what they get vote for it.
  If you understand unions set the prevailing wage that people should be able to organize to get better page. If you understand that unions built the middle class and have earned what few rights worker have. vote against it
  
  Nothing ever has been given to the worker without them fighting for it
  
  Go union

• Question:-To what extent do you agree with the following Cornel West quote?
  He posted this on his facebook today.
  
  "If you place a high value on truth, you have to think for yourself."
  
  Answer:-I get the meaning but also understand the reality. How does one "think" for his or her self? Is that even possible to do? Our thoughts are formed by cultural and social values as much as information. We have been trained to think by our cultures. Even the act of valuing thinking or "thinking for yourself" for that matter is a social value. What is truth? Is today's truth the same as tomorrows? When the foreigners came to this country and then systematically eliminated the native population, the American Indians, did they not justify it and claim it to be right? After all, they were soulless heathens, no better than animals. (So claimed all the religions of the new country) (So, claimed the Mormon Church until the 1970's. One of the last churches to reform.)
  
  I would change his quote:
  
  "If you place a high value on truth, you must deny its existence."
  
  Only by denying that truth exists can you see clearly enough to entertain new ideas, new thoughts and new ways of seeing the world. Assuming something to be true, we become fools. That which is actually true will be true whether or not we deny it. The act of denying it will not change it in the least. But that which is not true, will crumble and fall when met with denial. It will have no support for its assertions and it can be clearly seen to be false. Truth, does not need belief or faith to be real.

• Question:-Why is Herman Cain being attacked by people like Harrry Belefonte and Cornel West?
  
  Isicola................Name 2 black celebrities or political figures that criticized BHO during his campaign. YES Hermain Cain is being attacked.
  
  Answer:-Because, Al Sharpton and Cornel West are like mullato slave owners on the democrat plantation. They need to attack any free thinking African American who leaves the democrat party.
  
  They both profit off of the poverty and misery in their people. They are terrified that a man like Cain can come along and tell them how it is.
