The two term limit only became law after WW2 and FDR, but FDR was the only one before that to serve more than 2 terms. This is because presidents would only run two terms out of respect of George Washington who only ran two terms and refused a third. So if a candidate is willing enough to run we should trust the judgement of the american people. If the american people decide to elect a president a third time they must be doing something very well because public opnion today is ever changing.

We should not use it, the only thing that has stoped another world war from happening is nuclear weapons, but is we actually use em then hello WW3. We should not use them but keep them.

We might be able to if we actually put some effort into doing so. But as I see it the us regards Osama as just another stick in the sand

The lakers have a very all around team with Kobe, Gasol, Odom, Fisher, and Bynum. Thery could easily beat the cavs who only have Lebron Mo Williams and Big Z being consistant whereas most of the laker team is consistant even with a very strong bench

It hads killed 1 us resident and the reullar flu kills 35,000 a year in the US!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course he's not lebron has much higher stats in every catagorey in the playoff and season, his team has a better record, and he just won the MVP. And if that not enough to prove lebron is beter that Kobe, I don't know what is.

No way first of all the swine flu is only just as bad as the regular flu. And second we are paying so much attention to this flu that has killed only one resident of the us and not worrying about the 35,000 people who die from the regular flu every year in the us

It has to be vince carter. If you saw him in the last dunk contest he was in. The honey dip, under the legs 180 and the 2 handed free throw line dunk. AMAZING

I think it is Lebron. Seeing that Kobe averages 26.5 points, 6. assists, and 5.80 rebounds per game in the playoffs. Where as Lebron averages 30.7 points, 7.3 assists and 10.70 rebouns in the playoffs. His stats beat kobe in every catagory.

I think it is Kobe because first off he has more assists than Lebron and you can just look at him teammates stats and it show that the lakers as a whole are making a team effort

Trifins response waws right on I belive it is 100% natural to do it in public

Ironman is way cooler than spider man. Just think about it, what do people around the world kill every day. Spiders. But they don't kill iron. Spiderman is so weak and gay, ironman is awesome

People on this website just post random stuff that has nothing to do with the topic it's so stupid

It is obviously ronaldinho. He is much better than Kaka, he is a great scorer and a great team playa

Go Ronaldinho!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT has to be the Lakers they have the great Kobe Bryant who is supported by Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom, and Derek Fisher, and now with Andrew Bynum Returing to the lineup they will be unstopable. Plus after last years playoff loss they are coming back with fire

Apple pie is so much better because it just is much better by far pumpkin pie can't possibly equal apple pie

which all show why we should abolsish nuclear weapons

No don't use nuclear power because when the us got it others got it and it became a big mess bigger than we wanted look where we are with north korea right now

Of course we should. When we first got nuclear weapons other countries got them too and they felt powerful too powerful for us to be safe.

I don't see why they coudn't use it. If you say that can't it is just as bad as discriination and its not right. Freedom of the speech is it not for all or is it just for 8th grade and above that is denying a right stated in the US constutution, that freedom of speech is for everyone not for 8th grade and above

Yes I am because the US obtained nuclear weapons and other countries who looked up to us got them and that gave them a feeling of power and thought they could overcome the US, look at the situation with Noth Korea now

I think that hydrogen can easily be the fuel of the future. It can be easily produced through electrolysis. I did a science experiment on this and found that the efficiency of using water with plenty of ions such as spring water can produce hydorgen at or even over 50% efficiency rate and that was using a solar panel which made the experiment more cost friendly. The solar panel was only a 15 volt solar panel where as most of the solar panel used to collect energy in real life are around 150 volts at the minimum and the higher the voltage the solar panel the better the efficiency rate. So for instance if I were to make a soulution with spring water and salt with a 150 volt solar panel the efficiency would be around 85% a very high efficiency rate for a minimal solar panel whereas a normal car fuel has about a 92% efficiency rate, but remember the solar panel was very minimal, there are even 390 volt solar panels. And the emmisions of hydrogen is only water vapor, whereas gasoline emits harmful gasses such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide which are very harmful to our environment and atribute to global warmming. As you can see in the future hydrogen can be a clean and reliable fuel source.

I agree with david

and also

The death penalty is rather hypocritical of itself. We are telling these criminals not to kill people and their punishment is death. I don't know about you others but I don't belive that is setting a good example to the american people or other countries who look up to the US.

I think that americans are, a major reason americans are not in favor of the death penalty is its cost. It costs taxpayer in california 18 million dollors in total for the use of lethal injection, the cheapest form of the death penalty, on one criminal and 8 million dollars in total to put that criminal in jail for life. And just to make escapes percentages lower we could put the money we are saving into building more high security prisons.

I also agree with appetite is not the most appropriate word for this topic
