In the veto threat against the National Defense Authorization Act, the White House says they’re opposed to two things: Increased survivor benefits of $40 a month to spouses of those who lost someone in military service, and a pay increase to all personnel, across the board, just half a percent higher than what the president endorsed.

Excuse me?The president just vetoed legislation so he would be able to send more troops into the middle of the Iraqi religious civil war - without end, mind you - but is against increasing benefits to the spouses of those lost, or a pay increase to those who are serving?

If I applied for disability (I have an ongoing spinal and nerve condition which keeps me from working a normal job or normal daily function in life I also have circulation problems.

When someone applies for disability, what do they have to go through? Do they have to get their blood taken and stuff? How much money does a person get monthly from the disability and how soon after someone applies do they get the money?

Its seems fair to say that its considered wrong to swear on the bible.
Couple of things here I am confused about.
1) Where did this practice start? I mean if its considered wrong and basically says so in the bible...who thought of this?
2) Christians (and yes this may come off as loaded but not meant to be) by looking at this does it seem to make sense as to why religion should not be intergrated into governement. I mean something like swearing on the bible should be taken seriously, yet it is not, even by our presidents. Which gives the impression that religion comes a part of governement only when it is convient for that government official. By swearing on the bible it becomes convient because it leads to false promise of that official...ie "he/she swore on the bible or talks about God so therefor must be a good person". Seems to actaully corrupt

i might be missing something but when JESUS was baptisted by john the baptist, there is no mention of godfathers in the bible. today godfathers need to have been married by the catholic church and attend classes in order to have their baby baptist(plus many orther requirements). it is not a problem for me but some of my relatives i've heard have gone to mexico to baptist their babies. maybe that is another reason why many people have left the catholic church. i think that if the church did not have too many requirements to baptist babys it would not lose many members.
