Parties Answers
How can I report under age drinking parties at a neighbors house?
Q. I over heard that there is a Lady in our neighborhood that lets her own kids (16 &18) have parties and she allows them to have alcohol. I tried to get more info of when are these party held so I can call child services, but I have not been successful to know when. I usually hear about these parties after the fact. Is there a way to report this and have them monitor the house? What can we do?

A. If you know where she lives, just casually pass by her house once a night after 10pm. If there's a party happening, you'll know it by the noise, parked cars, etc. Then call the police and report that you think there's underage drinking happening at that address. And to all the morons telling you to mind your own business, or that it's just kids having fun, all it takes is one idiot teenager to drive drunk and kill a bunch of people. That is not harmless fun!

How do people dress at spanking parties?
Q. I am not planning on going to one, but I am curious as to what they are all about. Do people dress in role-playing costumes? Can you just sit and observe all the spanking around you and not participate? Do you have to pay to enter the party? Are the parties usually at a private residence? Any answers would be appreciated.

A. Having been to my fair share of spanking parties, I'll happily answer this, though more information can be found in an essay that I posted on my spanking blog months ago. The link to my blog can be found in my profile, though it'll take some digging to find the correct entry. Unless a party has a specific theme (like teacher/student), most people will simply wear clothes that are comfortable and casual. Spankers may tend to wear clothes that are more formal or authoritative, and spankees leans towards clothes that are loose-fitting or easily removed, allowing faster access to "bare" their bottom. Skirts are common among female spankees, with pleated "schoolgirl" skirts being the most common. Some people will dress in… [cont.]

A. Parties play a key role in engaging and mobilizing the electorate in the political process. There are three main reasons a person becomes active in politics: First, they get something in return a financial, social or purposive benefit. Second, they have the ability and resources to participate. Finally, they are asked to participate. This can apply to just voting for president every four years or becoming politically active to a much greater extent. Political parties can help educate a person on why they should care about an election by offering a social benefit and making the financial and purposive benefits clear.

A. Well, I'm not an attorney, and it may vary state to state, and it also varies depending on if there is a lending agent (bank) but usually it is the following. 1. Buyer 2. Seller 3 Real Estate Agent (not mandatory, many people sell their own) 4. Closing Attorney - Usually Picked by the Buyer, but it depends on who's paying the closing costs.

Why do Americans seem to think that parties are ideologies?
Q. "Democrat" and "Republican" are not political ideologies, they're parties. The Democratic Party has some conservative tendencies and lots of liberal tendencies, and the Republican Party has lots of conservative tendencies and some liberal tendencies. Someone who is a pure liberal or a socialist is not neccessarily a Democrat, and somebody who is a neocon or a nationalist is not neccessarily a Republican.

A. I agree and I have been saying that for years. Many people are just comfortable labeling themselves and others. Most people have some liberal and some conservative views no matter which political party they are registered with or align themselves with. Very few people will actually be 100% of any ideology, but they listen to pundits who tell them otherwise. Any Republican who thinks for him/herself is called a RINO. US politics has been reduced to a sports team mentality. With everyone on one team thinking they are superior to everyone on the other team. It is sad.

How many parties does an average Guatemalan attend per year?
Q. Guatemalans seem to throw parties for any reason imaginable. I feel like they are constantly attending parties. So, what's the average number per year?
Asked by Ixcot260 - Mon Nov 23 12:29:22 2009 - Guatemala - 2 Answers - Comments
A. An average number would be around lets say 75. They attend Quiceaneras, child birthday parties, weddings, baby showers (if they decide to hold one) just a gathering, a serenata (HUGE party in the morning- like 4:30 am with fireworks and the whole shebang) dances somewhere relatively close (not really any further than 3 hours away) and other big occasions like Dia de los Muertos and Christmas, New Years, Easter. Its a party almost every weekend, some during the week days. I visited for about 6 weeks and went to at least 10 different shindigs. It was fun!! Everyone is close nit and invites everyone in the town- at least where we live; and that's a small town up in the mountains.

Can anyone tell me where political parties are given the power to run our country in the Constitution?
Q. I don't recall reading a provision in the Constitution of the United States that says political parties are supposed to be running our country. I am a no-party voter. I am even offended by party politics. Because of political parties people like me even have no representation in Congress. So where is it people? Where in the Constitution does it say political parties are ok?

A. It doesn't mention them at all. It doesn't say they are required or disallowed, doesn't make them legal or illegal. I guess you could argue it's an extension of freedom of assembly. It wasn't entirely politician's fault, the early American people would label groups of politicians supporting ideas and this started the process of political parties.

If political parties were publicly funded, what would be the appropriate level of funding?
Q. If political parties were publicly funded, what would be the appropriate level of funding? More than the parties are spending today, the same, or less?
Asked by Rebecca Brand - Thu Oct 21 02:45:13 2010 - Politics - 4 Answers - Comments
A. Interesting question. The point of public funding would be to make it impossible for one very wealthy faction to purchase government. I don't know anyone who isn't so sick of political advertising right now that they're ready to give up on democracy. So the place to start would be, "less than what's being spent this year."

A. Interesting question. The point of public funding would be to make it impossible for one very wealthy faction to purchase government. I don't know anyone who isn't so sick of political advertising right now that they're ready to give up on democracy. So the place to start would be, "less than what's being spent this year."

What is the purpose of having different political parties?
Q. Can someone on here explain to me why we have political parties. Each stand for this or that. If you take the main two dem. and rep. for example. If one side thinks this is right the other thinks its wrong. Shouldnt we get rid of all parties and do whats right in the particular situation and vote according to whats best for the people and what is morally correct instead of voting a certain way b/c thats the way your party votes. It just doesnt make sense to me. I feel like no parties have our best interest in mind, just how their party can control everything. Can someone please explain this to me.

A. There are a number of politicians that do vote on issues independantly of the parties platform, they are a memeber of the party as that is the party which represents there view on the majority of issues. But nothing says you have to vote along the parties platform. The origins of a competitive two party system in the US can be found in the institutional design: 1) Electoral College 2) single candidate district 3) President and Vice-President, and also 4) disputes around revolving issues like the ratification of the Constitution in 1797-89 and Jay Treaty that split factions, political symbols and groups supporting them. From another perspective, the interests and symbols were already divided and grouped in slave states and non-slave states.… [cont.]

Why the allegiance to parties that only leave us hanging on broken promises?
Q. As Americans we need to be above the parties. Please anyone tell me why the allegiance to any party so hard? What has the party done for you personally?
