OK, to start, for those who say we are winning, services in Iraq are worse than they were under Saddam, more civilians have been killed during our occupation that were in all of Saddam's rule. If we didn't "blow things up and kill innocent civilians" how did we do that while carpet bombing cities and sending high explosive munitions into them?

We will leave the increased cancer risk due to the depleted uranium projectiles for another time.

Now for the original question

We already have.
Under Bush; America has lost the respect of the people of almost every country in the world. A few countries which are dependent on US aid and power still pretend to be on our side but their people are not.

They see us turning into Russia of the 50s and 60s; Invading countries for no reason, wire tapping illegally, library records being seized, showing documents for travel, being encouraged to spy on our neighbors all in the name of SECURITY, plus the elimination of the middle class.

Just hope that in November the long road to recovery will begin; but it will take far longer than the 6 years it took to get this close to the bottom.

Remember, the "Patriot Act" is not patriotic.

Case 1
The room at the end of the hall
You have just showered and changed into civilian clothes. You think to yourself that, for a training officer, Sergeant Womack is all right. You have learned a lot from him during the last 6 weeks. Being a rookie police officer had gone much more smoothly than you thought it would. Finishing the last of your umpteenth cup of coffee, you can’t help but overhear the sergeant and the afternoon shift dispatcher discussing several neighborhood calls complaining about a weekend fraternity party on Elm Street.
You say to the sergeant, “Sarge, I used to be a member of that fraternity when I was a criminal justice student at the university. I’d be happy to stop by on my way home and check it out. College boys can get a little rambunctious at times. I don’t mind making a visit and getting them to quite things down.”
Sergeant Womack looks at the dispatcher and then turns to you.
“Ok, Bill. Just be sure if there is any trouble, you call me pronto.”
“You got it, Sarge,” you respond, chuckling to yourself and remembering your rambunctious times at the fraternity house.
Parking your truck by the street in front of the fraternity house, you can see the situation is about what you expected. You can quickly herd those persons partying in the yard into the house and announce to all, pulling your badge, to hold things down since the neighbors are complaining to the police. Your voice has a firm but friendly tone to it and the party goers with a couple of minor exceptions expressed by several intoxicated brothers, generally comply with your request. You ask one fairly responsible-looking student in a fraternity sweatshirt where Ed, the organization’s president, is, and he directs you to the last room on the right upstairs.
Entering the room, you observe seven or eight male students all watching some kind of activity in the corner of the room. Several are shouting encouragement while the rest are drinking beer and watching in silence. The observers are so enthralled with what is going on that they don’t even notice you presence as you work your way through the crowd to see what is going on. You stop in your tracks. There on the bed is a male student having intercourse with a girl. Next to the bed is another male student zipping his pants up. You can not tell what state of mind the girl is in. She seems intoxicated and confused, and perhaps even somewhat frightened. Not exactly sure what to do, you pull your badge and tell everyone to step outside the room, and not leave the house. You stop Ed and two male who were obviously having sex with the girl, and have them remain in the room. Ed, the fraternity president, has by this time recognized you. The girl starts to cry quietly, the two makes become very nervous and the rest of the observers quickly vanish from the room.
“Bill” begins the president, extending his hand to you, “We were just having some harmless fun.”
“I’m not so sure about that, Ed,” you reply, pulling out a notepad and pen and ignoring his extended hand. You direct Ed to take the two makes to an adjoining room and wait for you there. Your turn back to the girl, who has by now managed in some fashion to get dressed. You ask her what was going on. All she can manage between quiet sobs is that she is scared and that her name is Yvonne. You try to encourage her that everything will be all right and ask her to remain in the room while you question Ed and the other two males next door. As you leave the room, you look up to see Dr. Madge Mullins, Assistant Dean of Students, walking toward you. You know her from your days as a student.
“Bill, I got a call from a student downstairs who works in my office. What’s going on here?
You quickly explain the situation to her as you know it. You can tell from the look on her face that she is both concerned and agitated.
“Bill, you said the girl’s name is Yvonne? I’ve dealt with her before. She doesn’t have the best reputation on campus. This is a university matter and I will guarantee you that this situation will be handled in an appropriate manner. There is no need for us to further embarrass this girl or the university, for that matter. You know what happens when these things get in the paper.”
You carefully consider what Dean Mullins is saying. You also remember your sergeant’s parting words. Do you let her take care of the situation or do you call Sergeant Womack?

Based on what you have read, answer the following questions:
1. Is this situation a university or police matter? Why? Does the fact that the young girl seems to have a “reputation” make a difference?
2. Are you subject to any liability issues in this case?
3. What do you feel would be a responsible and just outcome to this case? What additional information would you need in order to make an accurate assessment?

nothing ever goes as planned. My whole life has been nothing but pain and confusion.
I go to church for a while but then I just stop goin. I pray and then I stop for a while.
I think my biggest down fall is that I continuosly sleep with my fiance' all thou we are not married yet. I have brought this up to him before about how I feel guilty afterwards, but he says we are getting married so it shouldn't matter. And I go along with it and thats when things begin to crumble in my life.
Therefore how am I supposed to keep faith? I try but things only seems to get worse.
I know there are people out there that have it worse than me and I know God will not put anything on us we can't handle.... But I feel like I'm about to have a nervous breakdown.

My wife had an affair 4 years ago when I was in jail serving out traffic warrants. I was only in for 17 days and she slept with some guy off the internet and a couple twice. Recently I read some emails of a sexual nature from a guy and I confronted her and she said she met him at a hotel and 'it was just sex, get over it'. I emailed the guy and he said he only chatted with her online and never actually met her(he was also in another state). Now she says it was just a trick to try and get me to think she was cheating and cheat myself so she could get me to stop holding her cheating while I was in jail over her head. Would you buy a story like that? Ladies are you really capable of something like that?? Just to teach a lesson??? Or is she lying out her ***?? Im not an in and out of jail kind of guy, I decided to serve it out instead of paying the fine. I live on a budget, what can I say?

Except in a vacumn, the glass is always full of something. In presenting the half-full, half empty question one is just looking for a means of expressing their philosophic outlook. Right?
