Should prisoners of war from other countries be tried in the United States, when trying to close Guantanamo Bay?
No they should not be tried in the United States. Well first of all i don't even think that Guantanamo Bay should be closing. I feel like we will not know where to put the prisoners and i know i wouldn't feel comfortable with them in the United States, especially if they are from a different country they should go to a prison back at their home. If they are from a different country they should have trial where they are from so that their rights apply to them, they should not have the same rights as Americans.

Do the Afghanistan people want us to help them?
I think that Afghanistan people want us to help keep them safe. The terrorist groups dont want us in the their because they want to take control. I think it is good that we are helping make Afghanistan more organized and safe for the people. However i think that more countries should help and we shouldnt do it by ourselves because it is dangerous for just the United States to do alone.

Should race affect the court and look at the law differently?
No, race should not affect the courts decisions, I think it is good to have a variety of people with different backgrounds and races. They can look from all aspects and really analyze the situation. If it was all just one race, and they grew up the same all the people would not have a discussion and see all the possibilities of what could happen.

Hate Crime...
I think that it is a good idea that transgenders and homosexual people are protected in some way against the hate crime act. Even though race and religion our now being looked at more closely i think that it is a very good law, because people should not be made fun of so much about their race, or the type of person they are. The person can not help the way he or she is and should not be treated wrongly because of that. If there was no hate crime act, people would get away with doing horrible things to people that they dont deserve.

Eminent Domain
Eminent domain is the power of the state to take private property for public use with the payment of compensation to the owner. i would normally say that eminent domain is a good thing. however, the government now twists the situation, to help provide more for them, and less for the people. i would say the state has the right to take someones house for the good of a school, highway or library, but a car dealership, i don't think that is right. i think that before they are going to knock a building down, the towns people should be able to vote on it if the owner can not come up with an agreement with the state. if the votes are not high enough the state should brainstorm another idea or a different route where everyone would be happy in the long run.

What do you think of presidential term limits?
I think that the way we have our term limits set up right now is very good. If the president is not doing so well, we can elect someone else, or we can elect him again for his second term if we like what he is doing for us. If it was not set up this way and the president was not doing a good job, and his term was for like 5 or 6 years, that would put the united states in danger. So, i think that the way we have it is good just in case the president is doing a horrible job.

Should there be people in the congress if they did not go to college?
yes, i think there should be people in congress even if they did not go to college. there are many successful people that did not attend college and they are doing very very well. i think that learning about government and stuff is something that you don't need to go to college to learn. if they know what they are doing very well i think that it is fine that they did not go to college.
