-I've looked on wikipedia already. These are some of the things i've already thought of.
-The two-party system encourages candidates to destroy the other parties’ campaign rather than trying to promote their own.
-If one party becomes weak, a dominant party may develop. This makes an election unfair.
-It is'nt possible to have a third party.
-If both candidates arn't any good, we still have to pick one.
-The two main parties are pretty much the same.
-If we had more major parties, more people would vote and the results would be much more accurate.
-The two-party system encourages the Electoral College that many people have wanted to change for the past 200 years.
-If we had more than two parties, there would be more diversity. Even though the people running are different, we are still basically voting for the same people with the same beliefs year after year.
-The elections are based on money and how much you have rather than principal.
Please email me if you have any more!!
What are the faults in the two-party system?
A Two-Party System has its own pros and cons.
Since there are only two parties, competitiveness is increased since usually there are two people competing for a single position. They will tend to try to keep pulling each other down (crab mentality).
Since there are only two candidates, we are forced to choose between the candidates. What if you considered both candidates illegitimate? Would you rather opt to not vote?
Although the Two-Party System has its downs, it will make more organized elections. In the Philippines' 2007 midterm elections, the two-party system will be used again. Unlike the May 2004 Elections, where there were 5 parties, the midterm elections will return to the two party system.

Bachelorette Party Ideas?
Make absolutely sure the "bride to be" doesn't cheat...
That will ensure great success....
You want a happy groom! =)
Reply:Flirt with some guys at each place you stop and the drinks will be free. Also, you can use some "truth or dare" ideas to have some fun. Just have fun, and, if everyone is at ease, the bride to be will be too. Good luck!
Reply:play card games eat pizza and make dakeries
Reply:I was just at a bachelorette party last weekend and we just went bar hopping, but to make it fun, each girl has some mardi gras beads and we tried to sell them to guys, we didnt do anything like show ourselves or anything, we just told the guys they could make up any kind of story they wanted about how they got them, and also most guys were happy to give us a few dollars for them.
Reply:Charades is always good...pick a topic and have everyone act it out. Also, why do you have to just play games. Get a great but funny movie that has nothing to do with weddings and you all get pizza and popcorn to eat. Make everyone wear their p.j.'s. Have fun! You could also have a great time doing massages, painting nails, facials, etc.
Reply:You could do a trivia game, ask questions like "where did they meet" "who made the first move" etc. etc.the person who answers the most right wins, it's also a fun way to see how people remember things.
Reply:I'm gonna say make a list of things to do while out! I.E get a condom from a guy, have a belly shot, see if you can get a pair of boxers, maybe a shot or two! I know you dont have much money but some tores have t shirts that have a list of things and when she does it the guy has to inital next to the one they helped with!!
Reply:I was at a party once where we passed around a t-shirt and a marker. On the front of the t-shirt, someone had neatly written bride-to-be or something like that. We each wrote one crazy task on the shirt and during our night on the town, the bride had to get a stranger to do one of the tasks. The tasked ranged from getting a kiss to very imaginative. Your group will best know what's "off limits" for the particular guest of honor. Other than that - trivia games about the bride's dating history/etc are fun and free. I've also particpated in scavenger hunts, variations of pin-the-tail-donkey.
Reply:If you are asking for games for while you are out on the town get some index cards and have each girl assign a task (dance on a table, get a guy to buy a round of shots for the entire party, ask a guy for his boxers) and then the bride to be "draws a dare".
At dinner - everyone share a girls night out story.
Hope you guys have fun.
Reply:Make a list of embarrassing things the bride has to find and acquire or do throughout the night...get a guy's boxer shorts, a condom, a kiss from a cute guy, a guy's phone number, get a guy to buy her a drink, flirt with an older man, etc. (Let your imagination run wild!) Or you could do the Suck for a Buck game...make a necklace out of yarn/thread and Lifesavers candies, and if anybody wants one, they have to pay the bride to be $1 to suck/bite one off the necklace. You could also make a t-shirt with Lifesavers stuck all over it and do the same thing. Just wet the candy with a little water, and stick them on the shirt. Anyway, have a fun night!
Reply:well u could interview the groom on his fav. things and stuff and then have the bride try to answer them and if she gets them wrong she has to take off and article of clothing or something. ask questions like when and where was ur fist date and stuff

Bachelorette party planning?
I need some help with planning a bachelorette party for my friend.... I'm her maid of honor and live far away from home...I'm flying in and the bachelorette party is designated for that same night. I was thinking of maybe playing some games.... like where you ask the hubby 2 be a bunch of questions before and make her answer them at the party... anyone know where i get a list of questions. Or ANY ideas on how i can plan this thing from so far away?? I've talked to another girl in the wedding party and still havent gotten an idea of a guest list or anything.... Please help, i want to make it AWESOME for her :)
Also, I dont know if her mom or his mom will be joining and how keen they would be on strippers and stuff. More looking for just fun games and stuff we could do before we go out later that night.
Thanks
Bachelorette party planning?
We played this game where we blowed up a picture of this sexy guy, cut his head off, and glued the groom's head onto the body. Then I blindfolded everyone (like on the tail on the donkey) and they all had to try to put thongs on him. Also, we had this other game where I had a timer and everytime the timer went off, if you had alcohol in your glass you had to drink it like a shot. We also went to a pole dancing class and oral sex class. It's not trashy like some would think. Everyone enjoyed it. Usually people who teach yoga classes also have someone that can teach pole dancing too. I just didnt want to do the regular ole party and we're all young professionals that work really hard so I wanted everyone to experience something different. it was great!!!
Reply:Ask the mom's to come and stay for a short while. Then, have some naughty party favors / gifts. After a good bit of wine, I am sure you gals can show her the night of her life!
Reply:You should def. call her mom and ask if she is planning on attending the party or not. I think usually parents don't, but I'm not to see on that. Can you get a hold of anyone else in the wedding? It's hard enough planning this stuff when you are in town, the least they can do is help you out. One you thing you could do before going out is have a bridal scavenger hunt...go around town finding things that have to do with a wedding and getting married.....bells, flowers, condoms, candle, travel guides (honeymoon). We played how well do you know your husband to be...i just made up the questions. What's his shoe size, favorite day of the week, favorite dinner, least favorite breakfast food, favorite beer. GOOD LUCK!
Reply:i have the same problem...i have no idea what to do first....and i do not exactly have the money to fork out to fun all of these parties i am supposed to be planning........someone please help us ;)
Reply:Well make sure you can have it at someones house, and consult all of the bridesmaids. They should be more than willing to help you out with this since they are part of the wedding party. Get a guest list from one of them or even from the bride. I would consult her mom and his mom to see if they would like to attend and ask them how their comfort level is. They should have no problem with this since it isn't about them, it's about their daughter/daughter in law.Some of the parties I have planned we have done Pin the penis on the fireman, bride's scavenger hunt, peter pecker game doll, Dicky ring toss.
Check out this website, it has a lot of useful information and a lot of the games i talked about is on here.

Office Christmas Party?
I have to go to Office christmas party. This party starts at 5.30 in the evening and i have to go to the party directly from work. What should be an appropriate dress that will look good at work and then at the party too. This party will also have the clients as well.
Office Christmas Party?
Wear a simple dress or pant suit that can be dress up with jewelry and make up. Along with a nice scarf/shawl.
Reply:Dress smartly, remember it's still a formal occasion no matter how drunk and merry everyone gets. Hey have you seen this cool video website - Videojug - they've got lots of advice on how to behave at the office Christmas party, how to survive Christmas and they show you how to make decorations and stuff. I like the Christmas wreath video.

Reply:Wear something basic.... in black. It's always safe. Bring some dressier jewelry and perhaps a holiday themed scarf or shawl to dress it up. If you wear nude hose normally, bring black and some dressier shoes to change into as well.... may be black velvet ones, or something.
Above all, have a great time!
Merry Christmas!
Reply:dress
Reply:Buy a new dress or skirt and sweater or black pants and sweater (it could be red) and some cute but comfortable little heals and bring them with you and change before the party. Take your makeup bag and toothbrush and toothpaste and curling iron and hair spray to refresh your face and hair. You want to look cute and sexy, but not slutty. Just look your best. Also wear your best smile. Happy holidays and have a great time. Also, don't drink too much and dance crazy.
Reply:You MIGHT want to help us help you by giving some more information? The most basic bit would be... are you a man or a woman? What is the dress code for work? etc.
OK. that's better... Can't go wrong with black.
Reply:You may want to pack a nicer, more festive outfit for the evening party. If that is too difficult, then it should definately be a dressier day.
You want to feel comfortable and if you are in the 'regular' office attire, it won't feel like a party. Go all out, have fun.
Reply:General rule of thumb for the office dress code should reflect 'feminine not seductive' - that said you have several options - tailored pant suit which is flattering regardless of body type can easily be taken from day to nighttime look by adding a scarf and other key jewelry accents. Keep in mind too that colors and fabric choice (silk, satin) can also convey a sophisticated yet professional image.
Reply:Wear black slacks with a festive, sparkly camisole under either a sweater or a jacket and normal daytime shoes. When the party starts...reveal the camisole and cover with a pretty scarf and strap on some dressy high heels. Change your jewelry and freshen your makeup and voila! You're done. :-)
Reply:A pantsuit probably isn't that great of an idea. You probably will want to look feminine. The fact that you have right after work doesn't make a bit of a difference. You can always leave your party outfit in your car, and dress in the stall, and brighten up your make up. If you don't drive to work, bring a nice duffle with your outfit carefully folded and stuff it under your desk.
I'm a little heavier too, and I usually prefer black whenever it comes to formalizing my dresscode. First of all, black usually looks formal in itself, and it easily make a woman look slimmer. Think simple and solid. It not only makes you look nicer, but it's more versatile in your wardrobe.
You need a dress. When doing so consider the season. Sleeveless or strapless is a fashion faux pas, and you should try to go calf-length or long--probably calf length. Three quarter sleeves are very flattering and I suggest it, whether it be part of your dress or a sophistocated sweater over it. Whenever it comes to a neckline, don't be a prude yet don't be a skank. Remain semi-professional.
You don't have to keep with black. Splashes of color are fabulous, and just the right touch.
Don't forget accessories whenever it comes to the perfect outfit.
Goodluck. I know I wasn't specific, but I have to leave room for personal taste.
You're going to look beautiful. Have a great time!
Reply:Just wear something simple that you can dress up with accessories at the end of the work day and when you touch up your make-up add a bit of evening "glam".
Reply:I would just go to work as normal. Take a dress, hose and pumps with you to change into after work. Show up looking fabulous. Others may just go in what they went to work in.
If you wanted to, just wear a simple black dress to work, and then dress it up a bit with heels, a cool scarf or rhinestone brooch of some sort. Even a nice jacket. something festive. I think you should definately have a little change over when 5 o'clock hits.

Luau 14th birthday party help?
I'm going to have a party (luau themed) and I've been planing it for quite a while. 2 weeks before the party, I find out this other girl that I know a little is having a luau party a week before mine and she invited some of the people I'm inviting. Everyone who went to her party said it was really fun. I know that she has a pool and they went swimming in it and had some other things that I planned on having. I don't have a pool so I wasn't planning on that. What games can we play and what food should I serve? I want my friends to think my party is just as good as the other girls party and have just as much fun. For food, all I have is chips, fruit kabobs, pizza, and cake. Anything else? Oh and there's a vegetarian that I'm inviting. So please nothing with meat in it! And for games, it's all girls ages 13-14.
Luau 14th birthday party help?
First, you need to have a very cool invitation for your party, that way people will be impressed from the beginning.
http://www.invitationinabottle.com/Luau....
Then order a lot of cool decorations and tableware, its fun to have a drink from a cocunut cup or with an umbrella in it.
Oriental Trading Co. is a good place and not that expensive.
If you don't have a pool, decorate your back yard with inflatable palm trees and many tropical touches. Hang fishnets on ceilings, doors and on tables.
Get food that has cocunut (cocunut shrimp) and chicken-pineapple skewers. Make fun drinks in the blender, like virgin pina coladas.
Light some tiki torches and get some cd's with some luau music. Get a limbo stick and have fun!
Reply:I think i'm doing this for my bday party this friday.
i'm having a hula hoop contest, and then a sleepover, but we're gonna do like make up and stuff there too.
try limbo, and do some themed music, like Jimmy Buffet.
Reply:Go to orientaltrading.com. They sell flower clips for your hair by the dozen and leis and beach balls, too. Your guests can make "grass" skirts from draw string garbage bags. They look best if you can find green garbage bags. Cut the bottom seam open and then cut up toward the draw string in one inch strips. Very cute!
Do you have a digital camera? Set up a "tacky tourist" photo booth. Hit some yard sales and your mom and dad's closet for some crazy clothes, hats and sunglasses - think Hawaiian shirts and straw hats and old cameras and beach balls and the like. Put these in an old suitcase and set up a back drop where your guests can ham it up. Take their photos and e-mail them to them with a thank you after the party. We did this at one party and made a palm tree out of helium balloons for the backdrop. I can't find the directions, but we used brown balloons for the trunk and green balloons for the palm fronds.
Teach your guest to make balloon palm trees:

Birthday Party's? Which One?
My daughter is having a b-day party soon and im choosing between spa party, pool party or kind of like a feild day party wich one? Also suggest any others!
Birthday Party's? Which One?
Hey Kenz, I am going to say combine them! Spend some time at the pool head back to the house, have a field day and then you can have a spa-make it a sleepover too!
ur welcome
Reply:It would depend on how old she is..........First of all, you should ask HER what she wants, but I would say
PreTeen or teen will be spa or pool party
8-11 pool
anything younger.......do you REALLY want to watch all those kids in the pool??
What is a "field day" party??
Reply:Pool Party for sure!
Reply:For a girl definitely a spa party. Girls loved to be pampered no matter how old they are. On my daughters last birthday we had a Libby Lu party. The girls got their hair, makeup and nails done and they dressed up in costumes (some were rock stars, others fairies), she turned 5. Activities should be according to her age.
Good Luck...Have fun!!
Reply:totally the spa. it might be expensive but its sooo much fun.
Reply:The best kid's party we had was at a small local magic shop, only cost $80, and the owner put on a 1/2 hour magic show geared to the kid's age group in an upstairs theater
Reply:how old is your daughter? if she's a kid,pool party will do... if she's already in her teens spa party would be better...
Reply:They all sound like fun ideas, but how old is she? Parties we've had for my daughter (who is a Dec baby.)
age12 Rock climbing at a rock climbing gym
age13 Indoor Pool party
Age14 Bowling Party 50's theme and Sleepover
Age 15 Movies, Dinner and Sleepover
Age 16 Rented a Yukon 7 passenger and Drove to Yosemite to go Ice Skating had a Sleepover.
If you have a pool party/sleepover you can buy stuff for the girls to do facials and pedi/manicures. That way you kind of get both.
Reply:Depends on how old she is. Spa party would be more for a 17 year old or older. Pool party for a 14 year old to a 16 year old.

Hey Kenz, I am going to say combine them! Spend some time at the pool head back to the house, have a field day and then you can have a spa-make it a sleepover too!
ur welcome
Reply:It would depend on how old she is..........First of all, you should ask HER what she wants, but I would say
PreTeen or teen will be spa or pool party
8-11 pool
anything younger.......do you REALLY want to watch all those kids in the pool??
What is a "field day" party??
Reply:Pool Party for sure!
Reply:For a girl definitely a spa party. Girls loved to be pampered no matter how old they are. On my daughters last birthday we had a Libby Lu party. The girls got their hair, makeup and nails done and they dressed up in costumes (some were rock stars, others fairies), she turned 5. Activities should be according to her age.
Good Luck...Have fun!!
Reply:totally the spa. it might be expensive but its sooo much fun.
Reply:The best kid's party we had was at a small local magic shop, only cost $80, and the owner put on a 1/2 hour magic show geared to the kid's age group in an upstairs theater
Reply:how old is your daughter? if she's a kid,pool party will do... if she's already in her teens spa party would be better...
Reply:They all sound like fun ideas, but how old is she? Parties we've had for my daughter (who is a Dec baby.)
age12 Rock climbing at a rock climbing gym
age13 Indoor Pool party
Age14 Bowling Party 50's theme and Sleepover
Age 15 Movies, Dinner and Sleepover
Age 16 Rented a Yukon 7 passenger and Drove to Yosemite to go Ice Skating had a Sleepover.
If you have a pool party/sleepover you can buy stuff for the girls to do facials and pedi/manicures. That way you kind of get both.

What makes a party fun? (For a 17th birthday by the way :)?
I'm turning 17 in two weeks and I want to have a party for the presents and stuff to be honest, but I hate having parties. My last party was when I was 13, I didn't even have a sweet 16 party last year. I like going to parties, yes, but I hate having them because I have to oversee all the guests and I feel horrible when people start breaking of into little groups and not doing whatever and looking like they're not having fun. How can I make a party fun for everyone (decoration ideas? theme? things to do?) so that it can be fun for me too? Thanks for any advice, I appreciate it!

Teen Party ideas
Themes: (submitted by readers)
Girl Friend Party:
(a special day for your friends' birthday day)
Blindfolded her and take her to get her haircut pay for that. Next pick up some videos and put the blindfold on her again. When you get to your destination (a made up salon in your house or a friends) take off the blindfold. Decorate the area like a salon...you will need to make signs, get streamers, and put accessories (make-up, hair products, facial products, nail products) on display.
Have some new makeup for you girl friend and do her nails, make-up, and hair and if possible pick out an outfit for her to wear. She never know what was happening next.
When you're done and have watched a movie, blindfolded her again and take her out to dinner with your male friends. (Have the guys pay for the dinner ;o)
Titanic Party:
A formal affair. For girls let let them dress together and make each other up.
Have servers and a Captain present for an elegant dinner. Find young musical entertainers to provide the background music.
After dinner an adult can man the black-jack and roulette tables.
Hire a Caricaturist to draw the guests (this will be their party favor).
Fortune Telling Party:
Hire a palm reader or have an adult dress like a gypsy and have their palms read. Also use tarot cards to learn to tell fortunes. Serve fortune cookies. For party favors give bangles, moon and star items.
Write Horoscopes: pass out pencils and paper to each guest. The "astrologer" asks them to write various items, the paper is passed to each player AFTER each item is written. Turn the paper down, so no one can read what is above. When completed, the last person signs their name to the bottom. They are then turned in and read using the 'story.' See link at horoscopes to get more information.
Mall Fun:
Scavenger Hunt:
Prepare the night before by going to the mall to find or think of things for the hunt. i.e.: number of stairs, escalators, things in shop windows, lost receipt, etc. The day of the party give each team a list of the items and within a specified amount of time see who comes up with the correct answers/items.
Party Favor / Game: Give each person $5.00 and see how many items they can purchase in a limited amount of time.
Hit the pizza parlor (or other) afterwards.
Regression Party:
Party like a 4 or 5 year old. Play traditional party games like pin the tail on the donkey, musical chairs, hot potato, drop the clothes pin in the can, scooping cotton balls from one bowl to another-blindfolded., etc.
Limo Romp:
Hire a limousine. Pick up the party goers and take them to a restaurant for dinner. Best best would be an "50's Diner" someplace were they can play goofy games. Make sure the limo is stocked with soft drinks, music, etc.
Hotel Party:
Get a two bedroom hotel room. One for the kids and one for the parents. Make sure it has all the amenities like pool and game room. Bring lots of popcorn, sodas, videos, etc (or if you prefer room service). Let the maids clean up the mess the next day.
Clothes Exchange and Redo:
Good for girls of roughly the same size, or a couple sizes. have everyone go thru closets at home and find clothes they don't want or that don't fit, clothes, purses, bags, shoes, socks, anything...Buy bits of ribbons, buttons, fabric, zippers, patches and sewing supplies. when everyone gets to the party, make piles of clothes that are around the same size. Then everyone can sew on the ribbons, iron on patches-make the clothes look different, maybe even buy some tie-dye, a kit should be around $20.00. Then swap clothes.
Beauty Salon:
Take the girls to a beauty salon to have their hair and nails done. Or do up their hair and nails at home in conjunction with a slumber party. For an activity, decorate pillow cases. Purchase one plain white case for each girl.
Disco Party:
Rent a disco ball, strobe light and get together some 70's movies. Have your friends come dressed for disco. Serve TAB
Traditional Party:
Are the above just a bit much? How about a regular, stay at home, do it yourselfer. Here are a few games and activities.
Murder:
Prepare slips of paper, enough for each player. All will be blank except two. One will be marked "Murderer" and the other "Detective". Let the players pick no one can say who they are. To play, turn out the lights and have everyone mill around. The Murderer must "strike" one person and they should go down. This "Victim" cries out and the lights are turned back on. Everyone then freezes. The detective then must determine who the killer was by asking questions. Everyone MUST tell the truth except the Murderer, who may lie as much as they want.
Potato Chip Taste Test:
Use about 5 different brands of chips in numbered bowls. Give each person a pad of paper to record which they like the most or comments about them. After everyone is done let them pick which goes to each empty bag. Let them read their comments.
Spaghetti Drop:
Need-bowls of cooked spaghetti noodles, plastic gloves and coke or other bottles (set for each team, relay style game)
To play-Have the teams line up. The first player, on go, puts on the gloves, picks up 10 noodles, runs to the bottle and must drop each one in. When the get all of their noodles in the need to run back and turn the gloves over to the next in line. First team finished wins.
Scavenger Hunts:
Nature hunt-list of items that can be found outdoors.
Use Neighbors-Find items on list by knocking on doors.
OR
Unnatural Nature Hunt:
This one takes work on the part of the parent. They would need to make up things to find outside.
i.e.:
an orange on an oak/pine etc;
a daisy "growing" from...;
rocks wrapped in foil;
Pickles growing in the soil;
other "freaks of nature." Give each person or team a notepad to keep track of what they find. Do not give them a list of these unnatural items...let them try to find them. Make sure you tell them the designated area.
If you have the toy Bop-It, pass this around and see how far you can get.
Here is another game suggested by Nancy Carter
Summer Snowball Fight (outside activity!)
Materials: Plenty of panty hose, preferably white (local $ store is a great resource) I think one pair will make about 10 "snowballs". 25lbs+ flour
Directions: Put a cup or so of flour into the leg of hose. Tie off as close as possible to the top of the flour. Cut the hose above the knot. You now have your first "snow ball" Try it!! Continue by tying, filling, tying, cutting. It's a bit of prep work - but worth it! The "snowballs" last a long time!
Warning: Be prepared for a mess! White will be all over everything in your yard! Use a leaf-blower to dust off the kids. Get as much as you can cleaned up before it rains. The memory is worth the mess!
1. Mail Order shopping. Tell the kids they have $75.60 (or some odd amount) to purchase an outfit with. See who can come up with the most complete outfit, most unique, etc
2. Letter shopping. Cut out squares with a letter on it (26 - a thru z). Set them on a table with the girls around it. They each pick up a letter and must name an item that can be purchased at
1. a department store (if they name an item within 5-10 seconds they get to move on to another 'store,' if not they continue until they can think of an item starting with the letter)
other stores to 'shop' at:
drug store, grocery store, hardware store, etc.
This game can continue, as if taking a trip...after the shopping, they can continue with cities, rivers, and people.
3. Make an autobiography: Make booklets from 8x11 1/2" paper. On the inside write on each page:
Myself
How I spent my childhood
My aim in life
What I enjoy
My biggest blunder
My best friend
My travel
My hobbies
Spending my money
etc
Have the kids find pictures out of magazines to put into the pages (this is for fun, and does not need to represent them entirely).
When they are finished, let them share their books.
4. Cut out of magazines (teen mags would would great) full pictures of people the kids would know (celebrities, etc) Cut off the heads and paste them onto the tops of others bodies. See if they can guess where they belong and who
