If we need more troops to fight this war, then why not put immigrants in english classes, and have them serve for four years? This country was made on people fighting for freedom, why not give them a chance to fight for theirs? Their immediate family can live here while they serve, and be classified as citizens if anything were to happen to the one serving. Now granted I know this is a melting pot, and I get pissed every time I have to press 1 for English, but I think this is a proposition that could help both problems. After they get out of the military they will know english alot better and have a pretty good chance of getting a good job, and I think that would help the economy alot. Just a thought.

I'm 47 & my fiance is 33; She plead guilty to having 'chemicals with intent to manufacture' & is serving her two years for the possession thereof. The state of Texas wants to get me on the same charge, even though she plead guilty with the understanding that, in doing so,they would release me, which they did, & with the hope that, by doing so, that would absolve me of any duplicity in the crime, which it obviously has not! They wish to beat a dead horse with this case since, having been out on a public recognizance bond for over a year now, I have not engaged in nor been arrested for any further illegal activity & have been under intense scrutiny via random urinalysis, weekly monitoring of my activities by a probation officer in addition to weekly group counselling & bi-monthly individual one-on-one counselling. I cannot take the stand in my own defence since I have nothing further to add to my case' defence & by doing so would allow the prosecution to bring up my previous convictions.

THIS IS NOT A SARCASTIC QUESTION!!!
Here are my beliefs on some of the major issues of today.
Iraq- Shouldn't be there, should be in Afghanistan; Immigration- stricter punishment for companies that hire illegals; Abortion- change the law to help those who really need one (rape cases, health problems) and not those who just made a "mistake"; Flag burning- AGAINST; Protesting at military funerals- AGAINST, it's highly inappropriate; Death penalty- For it, especially for child molesters and murderers; Gay Marriage- If I can marry my wife, why can't Joe marry Bob? For it/indifferent; Gun control- We have the right to bear arms, just don't let Mr. Psychopath have access as easily. That about covers most of the major issues. Having read my beliefs, what political party do you think I would fit in to?

the reason I'm asking this question is i just read a question on here where a guy was upset that poor and middle class people get back extra on their tax returns. i feel that the low wages that people get paid to do jobs that no one else will do that they should get back more on their taxes what do you think

Its ok to say feces and doo doo but not sh%t. Its ok to say penis and vagina but not c#ck and pu%%y. It all means the same thing. Parents can teach their kids not to say these things and why but theres no way to shelter them from these things.

We sent them to the Mexican border to do paperwork and build roads. I thought the National Guard was to "guard and protect" our boarder from intruders. Shouldn't they be doing the job they were created for. Is Bushy boy chicken or what?

Why is it that a Bleeding Heart Liberal state like Massachusetts that have Gay rights have the lowest Divorce rate in the US, you would think that a Conservative states that talk about Jesus Christ and G.W Bush would have the lowest, why is that?

This person has a court appearence for an offence which is not too serous. His main worry is having his name on the papers and worries what people that know him : He is aware they will judge him and see him in a different light. My question is..would it be possible to keep his name from being published and if so how do you go about it..?Thanks
