The only type of schools i have found are traditional maritime academys/colleges, which are very hard to get into. I am not interested in design, or construction of marine vessels; only the maintanence and operational side of the job. Perhaps off-shore enginer is the correct term. I would really appreciate some info from someone who is a ranked officer on a marine vessel, pertaining to how they started their career. Also, are vo-tech schools with diesel technology programs a good start? any info would be helpful. thanx

Abortion and SCHIP

(For those who don't know, SCHIP is a children's health insurance program for families who make too much to qualify for Medicaid but not enough to purchase private health insurance).

It appears as though most Republicans are fiercely opposed to abortion, regardless of a mother's or family's ability to provide the child with a healthy living environment.

It also appears as though most Republicans oppose the SCHIP, which would provide health insurance to children whose families cannot afford it.

Hypothetically, it appears as though Republicans will fight to the death for an unborn fetus to develop and live a normal life, but also fight against the notion of providing them with access to medical services.

MY QUESTION is not why Republicans oppose abortion. My question is why Republicans can oppose abortion and SCHIP at the same time.

No political rhetoric ("lib" v. "con"). This is a serious question.

I'm watching the Democratic Candidates Debate
(I've lost about 20 I.Q. points so far...)
and all they can talk about is Gay this and Gay that...

This subject has no effect whatsoever on who I'd like to see elected into office in 2008...


Are Gay rights an important factor for you in the upcoming election?

i have decided to become a vegetarian and am looking at vegan diet. I understand why you wouldnt eat eggs becasue of the cruelty towards the hens laying them for us. but what about if you rescued a chicken that was de-beaked and had its feet chipped. you could look after it so that it wouldnt be harmed and it would naturally lay eggs for you that you could eat. and even though the eggs are meant to be for reproducing. you could get a rooster and create new chicks but for the time that the hen is not interested in reproducing it would still lay eggs naturally and you could eat those eggs? you would be looking after the animals and getting a benefit of being able to eat their un needed eggs!

Why do many Americans think that the Civil War was fought over slavery and that Lincoln really cared about Africans? He was prejudice against Africans himself and the Civil War was fought to save the Union.

Ok everyone, I know this is senior citizens, but I'd like the answer from you guys. Most seniors I meet or talk to seem to be alot stronger mentally or full of serenity compared to me or someone my age. I want to know if you guys think it's just a generation thing, that you have always been like that, or that people actually CAN get better.... I'm 22, I get real depressed and anxious about things like relationships and life in general.... Do you guys know, or are you someone who had a hard time coping with life as a young adult...are you better now?
Thanks alot guys.
