Regardless of who wins the presidency, are we all ready to join together to get the US back on its feet?

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008
David asked:


I’m a sure a Obama supporter, but at the end of the day, whoever winds presidency, I’m worried that all this partisan **** is going to have a lingering affect on politics in the near future, and divide American even more. Do you think we can get over the differences to gain back our international respect, do what’s necessary to bring our soldiers back home, and to fix the economy?

Political Science & International Studies?

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008
Danny U asked:


i have a colombian mother, my dad is from Pakistan, & was born in the USA. I speak spanish , english & will be learning Arabic. I will be double majoring in the above title at the Univ of Miami (FL) and then either doing International Law at Law School or a MBA in International Business. I enjoy diplomacy & politics & due to my unique background I feel i will be able to connect with people when i’m older. I dream of working in the field of International Diplomacy or something similar with the United Nations. I just wanted to get some input from other individuals & possibly ideas on other future career paths. Btw, my dad is on my back in order to take over his Civil Engineering company which is really not my dream.

Can someone please give me a list of AMERICAN JOB WEBSITES?

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008
HANS LAXMAN RAJ asked:


Hi Friends,

I am currently a Londoner and I have just completed my MA. I really do not wish to be in London at the moment. I would like to go abroad for a short period of time to acquire some valuable work experience. I have been particularly thinking of the USA (New York, Miami) and Japan (Tokyo).

My BA (hons) was in history whilst my MA has been in International Politics. Most of my work experience has been within banking and Finance. So I am actually considering a career in a wide variety of areas.

I would be grateful if you can give me job websites, recruitment websites. I already know about www.monster.com. Any others???

Is it rude to tell people that you don’t want to discuss politics?

Friday, July 25th, 2008
Rat asked:


It seems that wherever I go, from class to the barbershop and the grocery store to the movie theater, people always want to talk politics.

I’m a political person, and I’m well educated on the candidates and issues, not only for the national elections but also local and some international.

Still, I don’t like to discuss politics. I find that too often it results only in arguments and poor logic.

When people start talking politics, I just politely (I think) say, “Sorry, I don’t like to discuss politics.” and leave it at that. But that tends to irritate people… they get quite offended and think that I’m either being stuffy about my views or that I’m ignorant and just trying to save face.

So how can I politely tell people that I don’t wish to discuss the matter? I’m quite sick of making people mad at me.

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008
Fatima asked:


US news is only giving me 2005 listings for graduate schools and I really don’t know where else to look. Also, could you please give me sources for where you’re getting the information from?

I’m really not sure yet whether I want to specify international relations so I’m keeping it open by including political science. Anything anyone can give me will help. Thanks!

War on terror - Way to votes for the U.S presidential candidates! agree?

Thursday, July 10th, 2008
Ayaz Ali asked:


After the events of September 11, 2001 put the ‘war on terror’ at the forefront of international politics, it seems the issue remains a favorite fallback for politicians starting out on the long road that they hope will end at the white house.
US candidates who have learnt from the example set by President George W Bush that creating an ‘external’ enemy is a good way to create sense of paranoia.
do you agree?
