I never played HS football but I love the sport. Is it possible to play college football without playing any HS football? My friend said HS football isn't that big of a deal.

I got hit on the bicep with a lacross ball. It made my entire arm numb (like a stinger) and I could barely lift my arm for almost a week. It even took the skin off my arm where it hit. It turned a portion of my bicep black, but it wasnt like a typical bruise. It has been 6 weeks and my arm is still dark in that spot and hurts when i touch it, even with a bar of soap in the shower. Should I be concerned? I dont have health insurance, so I dont want to splurge on a doctors visit if it is nothing to worry about.

WASHINGTON | Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Republican from South Carolina, said Tuesday that Democrats had stripped from a defense spending bill a $3 billion border-security amendment that the Senate passed overwhelmingly last month.

Graham said Democrats also attached conditions to the Iraq war funding, leading all Republican senators on a conference committee to refuse to sign the panel’s report.

“I’m incredibly disappointed,” Graham said in an interview. “Congress would serve itself well if we funded border security as my amendment proposes, and it would help us move the immigration debate further down the road.”

Graham said Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska, the senior Republican on the defense appropriations subcommittee, had informed him of the changes.

The Senate voted 95-1 on Oct. 3 to include Graham’s border-security measure in a broader bill providing $648 billion to the Pentagon, including $196 billion for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Senate passed the overall defense spending bill by a 92-3 vote later the same day.

The House of Representatives passed its Pentagon appropriations measure on Aug. 4. Both chambers will have to vote on a unified bill produced by the conference committee of senators and representatives.

Among the conditions put on the war funding by conference committee Democrats, Graham said, was a requirement that some of the money be tied to timetables for the Bush administration to change U.S. troops’ mission in Iraq.

Democratic lawmakers in the House and Senate have failed to place restraints on war funding this year. President Bush vetoed a supplemental spending bill over such attempts, and congressional Democrats lacked the votes to override his veto.

“These (new) conditions on how to spend the money are a back-door effort to change our strategy in Iraq and deny funding at a time when we’re making progress in Iraq,” Graham said.

Graham’s immigration amendment would fund building 700 miles of fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border, erecting more vehicle barriers at urban crossings and installing additional ground sensors.

The measure also would pay for detention centers for immigrants who overstay their visas or commit other crimes. It would provide money for state and local agencies to be trained in helping the federal government enforce immigration laws.

Graham’s amendment had been added to a comprehensive immigration bill in June in a failed bid to move the broader measure through the Senate.

Aides to Democratic leaders of the Senate and the House failed Tuesday evening to return phone calls seeking comment on Graham’s claims, or said they didn’t know anything about the issues. Graham planned to hold a news conference Wednesday with other senators.

I'm a Christian and I don't judge people. None of the Christians I know judge people. We just worry about the day that other people will be judged by God. It isn't up to us...do what you wanna do. I just don't get why people are so prejudice against us.

I was just chatting with my brother, an Infantryman who is soon to deploy to Iraq. While we were talking about the political climate, he stated that by electing Bush twice and particularly the second term election they failed the troops by placing them in a badly planned war with no strategy.

Thoughts?

What would drive another to purposely try to make a person go crazy? Assuming you overheard it with your own ears. Assuming you know it to be true... Someone is trying to hurt you by making you go crazy, for instance doing something and pretending it never happened, playing mind games, trying to make you believe you are crazy.. what is the purpose of this?

Alright, since this place obviously isn't for Ramadan questions, I'd like to take this opportunity to actually learn something.

1.
As a Muslim (I think I'm in the right place?), what are your personal thoughts on the Burqa? What is your opinion on the "l'affaire du voile" (Veil contreversy in France)

2.
What are some scriptural references for veils and women's rights?

3.
What do you think of "modern" music, particularly rap or "rock 'n roll"?

4.
Do you think Muslims in the upper ranks of society in the Middle East have deviated from the true teachings of Islam (whatever they may be?) on issues such as women's education, state religion etc.

5.
What do you think of Jews and Christians - "long-lost cousins", "complete strangers" or "neighbour that you really don't like so you build a very tall fence and then the city tells you to take it down"?

Enlighten me?

From the ignorant little infidel,

I'm a 47 year old white male who, today, was involved in a flirtatious little chit-chat with a 30 year old black female. At one point in our conversation she said "I would date you if you weren't too old."

Obviously, this woman believes it is perfectly acceptable to make discriminating decisions based solely on age.

But I wondered, afterward, how she would feel, or how she would respond, had I returned "you need not worry, I would never date a black woman."

Do we live in a culture where it is acceptable to discriminate based on age, but not on ethnicity? What say you?
