Politics & Government - 29 June 2006

I don't know whether to apply at Hawai'i Pacific University or join the Navy. Of course I am a bit terrified beacause the Navy is not going to be easy but at the same time, the rewards are going to be great. If I decide to enlist, that would be it. I'd have to go through it. What should I do? Hawai'i or the Navy? I am 26 years of age and I need to get my act together.

I'm curious...mainly because I was the person who got run over (literally over....ran over my chest/back, fractured three vertebrae, two hairline rib fractures...plus my face ain't as pretty as it used to be ;-) ).

If you're interested in what she actually got, look for me to post the "do you think she should have gotten less or more" question tomorrow...

The holiday that we celebrate is Independence Day. July 4 is just the date. So why are so many using the term "4th of July"? To me, it smacks of an effort to downplay being patriotic. What do you all think?

Supposedly a bullet (or fragment) fired from Oswald's Carcano Rifle was lodged in Connelly's leg. A simple ballistics check could have confirmed one shooter or multiple shooters. And yet the family said no and of course the government was just fine with that decision. Why not check it out?

securing the borders or do you feel they need improvement. And if so, why do you think the borders aren't really secure and what do you think the govt.'s reasons for this is? What could possibly be the reason?

Do you feel the govt.will eventually want to have an open border policy with the America's, like what happen in Europe with the EU? I personally feel that is where this govt. is going. An open border policy and keep in mind the Europeans NEVER imagined it would happen to them! This is a question we must really look hard at, that our govt. would do such a thing and that the Americans would approve of something like this. I honestly see this happening in 20 years....Thanks in advance!

If I gripe about the wage, I will be "laid off." But I am earning a third of what the posted prevailing wage is supposed to be. (It is for a contractor, at a University-site job.) Should I wait 3-4 weeks til the job is over, and then try to claim back wages? or just go to the local L & I office, and make them be the bad guy?

If America treats you so bad and you don't like us, go back to your country and see how good you have it. Do you know why so many Americans don't like illegal immagrants? It's because you didn't think enough of this great country to even go by our laws to get in. You didn't think that was important. You come over here and we end up paying out our hard earned money to keep you and your children up, every time you go to the doctor, everytime your children go to school, every time you use our food stamps. You are handed out more than a American citizen and you don't appriciate it one bit. And I know this because you tell me this were I work. I have been told we don't wont to be an American we just want your money. How do you exspect us to feel about illegal immagrants. The ones that are here legaly, God Bless you for knowing how lucky you are to be in a country that is free and prosperous.

Where did World War II get it's name and which civilization suffered the greatest impact?

The only country in the world that didn't survive World War II was Prussia. Does World War II take full responsibility in the complete major loss of the country of Prussia or is it the worlds neglect? Doesn't the World have responsibility in bringing it back? If so, when?

Some of us need to have prostitution, think of all the poor people who are unable to hold a relationship, weather it be from a physical or mental disability, or even a problem that they don't want to deal with.

So how might one go about tiring to help make prostitution fully legal in the US?

Adam Smith's idea was that a society of competitive, profit-seeking, private-property-owning, free individuals can assure the provisioning of society through a self-regulating market mechanism that accumulates capital, productivity and wealth. He was right. In the seven generations since 1820, that idea has multiplied the human population by six times, the incomes of the developing countries by 5.4 times and the incomes of the developed countries by 19 times. Chavez thinks this astonishing success story is a dismal failure. To correct it, he wants to return to monopoly capitalism of the 18th century colonialists. For competition by free individuals, he substitutes monopoly by the state. For the self-regulating market mechanism, he substitutes a dictatorship of prices, wages, exchange rates and corrupt state enterprises. For private property he substitutes state property via expropriation, confiscation, taxation or regulation, and a "right to use" state property but not own it Comments?
