I am trying to get into the U.S. Army, I'm waiting on a combo waiver and hoping it goes through. I've thought of going before a judge here and asking if they will expounge (don't know if that's spelled right) my criminal history. How does a person go about doing this and do you have any tips on how I can "pull some strings" to help get in. I would also like to know if M.e.p. is strict, as far as teeth and eyes, what do they check there?

In the U.S., people at least know that there are more than two political parties that presently exist even if they also don't know what they truly are all about. It doesn't make any sense to keep going about each and every Presidential/ Vice Presidential election and pretend that there's only the Republican Party and the Democratic Party in existence in the United States. The Green Party, the Libertarian Party, the Constitution Party, the Reform Party, and other political parties also presently exist in the U.S. whether people like it or not. There are also sometimes situations where there are very strong independent candidates for Pres./V.Pres. as well with H. Ross Perot being one such example of this in 1992 and in 1996. At least, Mr. Perot was included in the debates in '92, and the media ratings were the highest ever because of his inclusion. What are the major political parties afraid of by not including others? More of the general public would pay attention to all of the debates!

Believing in women's empowerment is in no way hating men. Quite contrarily, when women have control over their lives and are not discriminated against, the men around them have much more enjoyable lives themselves. There is no reason why men should enjoy privileges that women don't. If you believe in a free and fair society, you must believe in people's empowerment. Gender equality does not mean sameness in identities but rather equity in terms of opportunities. If you have a mom, a sister, a daugther, female friends... surely you want them to live fulfilling lives, no?
The overwhelming majority of feminist are respectful and only want women's conditions to improve. Why do we bash people who want to make society better?

I remember my Dad having a fit when he had seen that popular group on the Sullivan Show. My older brother formed his own group and he left the home in a bad way and is now in a wheel chair mostly brain dead and parapalegic. his decision was a wrong one though he thought different at the time. I wonder how many people lost their way. Stalen of Russia knew one generation of people in America will abuse its freedoms so much that it will distroy their morals and will, so much that the children of that group will grow up lost and with little direction leaving the U.S vulnerable.

This to me is like saying "If you don't like the war don't join the army" or "If you don't like animal cruelty, don't beat your dog", "If you don't like child molestation then don't do it".
It doesn't address the real issue, it belittles the person you're talking to and it makes one look bad to have to resort to such a cheap "comeback". It seems absurd to me. Maybe someone can enlighten me.

Here is what he says of himself:
"The facts are: in 1977, about one week after being elected President of the San Diego County Bar, I was arrested. I was viewed by many as being bent on self destruction and nearly succeeded. I immediately resigned my position and I ultimately pleaded guilty to conspiracy to receive stolen property. My co-conspirator was an old friend who remains my friend to this day. For your information, I am not a convicted felon. The offense was adjudicated a misdemeanor, I believe prior to the completion of my probation. As a separate part of the process I stipulated (agreed) with the State Bar of California to serve a three year suspension from the practice from 1978 to October 1981. "
