Dogs. Anything else, even political?

I believe I'm well informed. Overall I eat healthily and I exercise regularly. So any health problems I might have wouldn't come from diet.

We need responsible gun control, including universal background checks etc. I absolutely do not want to ban guns or a responsible persons right to own one. But certain limits and restrictions as well a precautions are needed.

So the Jews then are guilty; the Jews now may or may not be?

The Jews did not have Jesus crucified. It was the Romans.

GA: it was from a Trepid poll if the New Testament was 100% accurate and I brought this up. I agree that the Jews had nothing to do with it though.

Matt, I would say that's a fair statement. GA, the Romans performed the crucifixion at the Jews request.

Assuming we're going strictly off the bible and not what happened when the Romans actually crucified people.... Because what happened with the crucifixion of Jesus in the bible and what the Romans did don't add up very well

Please explain?

Steel: if the bible is 100% accurate then all Jews must be guilty. If Jews today aren't guilty though......

Romans would never have asked who to crucify, there was no tradition of pardoning a prisoner. People took days to die not hours. Then they were left to be eaten by scavengers and especially in judea as an insult, because of ritual purity laws. No Jew

Would've touched the body of an executed person. And both Jewish and roman law required public trials not private trials as the bible described.

Matt-often in Christianity, all people consider themselves guilty of Jesus crucifixion. I myself do. If I'd been there I would have called for his death as well. So yes, I guess you are right. All Jews (and people) are guilty of his death.

The Romans didn't ask to crucify Jesus, the Jews did. What's your source for the Romans never pardoning a prisoner? Could it not have been a specific tradition the the judea region?

Yes crucifixion takes a long time. Jesus gave up his spirit. Pilate ordered the body be given to Joseph. Therefore the Romans would have taken him down, by order.

Yes, public trial was demanded, but a public trial wouldn't have worked so the Sanhedrin performed an illegal trial.

What about gpa?

That was my question.

I'm embarrassed to say this, but gpa as in schools or what? Sorry. I know: brain fart

Yes, grade point average.

What mine is?

Indeed.

Academic weighted is 3.33 on a 4 pt scale.

Why did you want to know my gpa?

Because it's a question poll.. You said ask me questions haha

I was just wondering offered was any reason why or just curious

Well you're darn smart, so I was just curious.

Thanks

I am pro marriage equality, so yes I support gay marriage

Yay!!

On foreign policy, both parties seem to be mistaken. Obama really doesn't have one, and many democrats are too far left on foreign for me, while the GOP is just kind of "democracy democracy even if it kills us!" I have no issue with a democratic system, but I follow realpolitik, not either party on foreign affairs.

Are there any specifics you're not sure about you want to ask?

There was nothing specific behind this. Just curious.

Matt - do you disagree that most nations would rather have a Democratic American President than a Republican?

I can't disagree with that since it's accurate. Why do you ask though?

I was just curious - if you disagree with how Democrats handle foreign policy - do you agree the the world seems to like the Democratic position - as opposed to the alternative anyway. I was in Europe on Election Day in 1999. I have a unique view

I think a large part of it is foreign policy. I definenly am against just invading every spec of land like the GOP is more in line with, I'm more against the notion that if country a is nation that's a moderate dictatorship but series our interests

As country b is a decorative that's hates us, we should support b over a. I've never understood that line of reasoning. That said I think another reason Dems are preferred is economic and societal reasons, not just foreign affairs

If I can chip in, I agree that foreign policy plays a role. The invasions of other countries are not popular with many in Europe. The only thing I say back is that when there's trouble it's often the US that has to come clean up, like Syria.

I agree with your last statement for sure. I always have a problem with where we "go in" because a huge part of me says "never" but then I see dead babies and that makes it hard. I would be a bad decision maker on things like this

Other questions such as gun control and social issues play a role too.

I can't wait for the UK to be added to this app. See if we could ask the Brits how they like Obama or make an Obama vs Cameron poll.

I know the whole "INVADE" mentality isn't right, nor is " LET US SUPPORT a WHEN b IS IN OUR INTERESTS." I mean remember Grenada? Honestly it was a commonwealth baton hurt out relations with many countries and had ZERO reasoning that made sense.

Nation*

I kind of want to see how many Americans say Cameron just because it's not Obama. Mayr I'm just too cynical

Oh that question should be for the Brits only. Maybe just ask a simple do you approve of Obama's job performance.

That would be cool. What about a pill for the us Cameron vs Miliband? And then compare that to the Brits for that or for them Obama vs Boehner?

Because - sadly - most Americans wouldn't know who those two people are

You could always put conservative and labour under it. It would be an interesting psychology experiment

I would have to agree with Shelly that few here would have any idea who they are.

True. Will we be able to follow uh users or will it be separate?

I'm not sure. Tony has said that the plan is there will be regional or country specific questions. Once in a while there will be global questions. I hope we can follow them and decide if we want to see the UK specific questions. As a European I

...would be very interested in their discussions. I just have no idea how Tony should run it. He needs employees to help him with all the administrative work.

I may not be European but that would be fun.

I'm assuming you're asking if we should keep or scrap affirmative action?

Do you think reverse racial discrimination is justified?

I think when it comes to affirmative action, race shouldn't be the sole factor. I think a combination, including race, socio-economics, gap, merit in general etc for college admissions are needed. As for being hired for jobs, I think the idea a company needs a certain amount if x or y ethnicity in a certain position definitely needs to go.

I feel the same way.

Pro choice.

Any other questions for me?
