Despite the VA's attempt to portray themselves as the "saviors" of veterans, those in need of help are not being taken care of by our country. They continually underestimate the number needing help.

I call your attention to this link regarding one case as example.

http://www.cnn.com/2007/HEALTH/11/15/wounded.marine/index.html#cnnSTCPhoto

This type of problem is repeated daily in the media, but our government (our VA) continues throwing out big numbers indicating their expenditures to take care of us. Where is the money going? What is the amount of expenditure per veteran versus the amount being provided through budgeting, donatations, fund raisings, volunteer organizations etc.? Something stinks.

God Bless our troops.

I've just been reading through a bunch of essays and articles about how parents are supposed to be informed, and I guess it makes sense, but doesn't it seem as if then we're giving these kids nobody they can turn to? Obviously they may not be able to turn toward parents, professional counselors require parental consent, friends are being told to report to counselors, where does it end? I understand that it may be necessary but does anyone else think that it actually harms the self-injurer more because it requires dealing with it alone? I'm just wondering what ya'll think.

Well Katrina came messed our hall up so we had to post pon the wedding. Then we got pregnant. Now have a 16month old. But we fight. not always and I know its not as bad as some. But I think couple cousler would do us good. So why does everything think this is insane?? I grew up with fighting all the time.

For me, it happened at a Slayer show in Jan. 1995 at the Shrine Auditorium in LA. I noticed a group of Suicidals (hispanic street gang) lining up outside the pit. Even though I wanted to slam so bad, my street sense told me to sit it out. Low and behold, one guy (probably a teenager) was doing his thing in the pit and inadverently elbowed one of the Suicidals. All of a sudden I see about ten gang members jumping him. But it gets worse; one of the gang pulls out a knife and starts stabbing the $hit out of this poor guy. Eventually security got a handle of the situation and the show kept going, but the festive mood got f**ked up.

My grandfather was diagnosed with alzheimers; sometimes he is aware, and some days he is out of it. Anyway, i've noticed that he can be so mean now, and say the meanest things. I really felt bad for my grandmother because she had a stroke a few years ago, she is handicapped, and you cannot really understand what she is saying now. Her speech is very garbled, even after therapy, and I doubt that it will get better. Anyway, the other day she was trying to say something to my grandpa, and he started making fun of her speech, and my grandma looked very sad. It made me want to cry, and I know it's wrong, but I felt kind of resentful towards him for making my grandma feel bad about her speech. He also says rude and mean things to us sometimes too; he would have never been like this before, and I try to remember that. How can we stop him from being like this? I love him to death and hate what this disease is doing to him; how can we handle his meanness?

My husband is a meat eater. And of course I am the shopper and cooker of the family. We also have a 2 year old but she doesnt eat meat that often... very rarely. I am new to being vegan. And my husband wants me to cook meat but I wont even buy it anymore. Should I buy it for him though and just make it for him even if I dont approve? But just the thought of it makes me sick.

I admit that I am ignorant in regards to many things. (Advanced Calculus, Wicca, History of Polka, Quantum Mechanics, Automobile Mechanics, Digestive Tract Mechanics)

Well I am not sure how many of the above things would be considered "mainstream". I guess the most mainstream item that I am pretty much ignorant about but I do appreciate is Art.
