Politics & Government - 30 June 2006

I have no romantic impressions of war but I am single with no children and feel like I should be there as much as these kids. I have a college degree in commerce from the University of Virginia but no previous military experience. My dad fought in Vietnam and my uncle fought in WW2, Korea, and Vietnam. I want to serve...I was never disciplined enough before...How?

Health issues aside :
Do you think continuing to raise taxes on cigarettes is fair to smokers? Isn't it discrimination? Why not tax toilet paper? Something EVERYONE uses.

Also, are you a smoker?

First of, Republicans love to say they are the party of "facts" and that they don't go by their emotions "like the liberals do"...

yet they say and believe things like:

"Terrorists attacked us because we are free"

"The Iraq War has stopped the terrorists from attacking us again"/"We're fighting them over there, instead of over here"/"We haven't been attacked since, have we?"

And every assorted "liberals kill babies, burn flags, live on welfare, etc."... which I do none of...

It just all seems to be emotional blurbs that have no facts behind them... anyone care to share some facts... maybe cite some sources... clear some things up for me...

and if these are common sense... then they should be really easy to back up and cite...

I would like unbiased, factual, and intelligent responses, please. Do not submit Bush bashing statements or bipartisan ideology. I would like for you to demonstrate methodically how Al Gore was cheated in his 2000 bid.

to those with mean remarks, don't you realize that us americans are screwing our self's? people say that mexicans are sucking up our resources, our IRS is making it so hard for them to get tax ID's. meaning they can't pay taxes.because of this our taxes pay for them to have their babies here,their medicad, and their foodstamps.they are over here working making tax free money & taking resources because of the IRS!! they should be passing tax ID's out like candy so illegals can pay for the resources they are using.so why does everyone sit around talking **** when our IRS is causing all of these problems?

I believe I was told that I'd have some word in where I'm stationed after training. If that's accurate, where do you think I should go? The obvious choice would be Iraq, but I just don't know what it'd really be like there.
I'm infantry and plan to eventually turn ranger. I want to see action.
Also, I'd like to continue learning various martial arts. Do you think there'd be opportunities like that around the average base?

Nowadays it seems like people are too concerned with if the person is Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative, rather than if the person is right. Will we learn our lesson or will it take another 9-11 for us to figure out that this just is'nt getting the job done.

"But in recent days, senators and the White House have dropped hints that they are willing to move closer to the House's position -- perhaps by agreeing to a two-phase plan that would begin with construction of triple-layer walls, deployment of surveillance aircraft and other means of tightening the border with Mexico.

When those measures are fully funded and operational -- a process that could take as much as two years -- debate on some version of the Senate's broader proposals would begin."

I am engaged to be married to a Serb man by next May. I have looked on the Embassy of Serbia's website, but there is no information on citizenship, and neither Google/Yahoo was helpful in results. I do not know what paperwork I need to fill out or documentation I need to bring with me prior to arriving in Belgrade.

I have heard of stories where a marriage is legit in one country outside of the US, to a US citizen with dual citizenship, but within the US, the spouse was neither an automatic citizen or were they legally married in the US by US law. I would like to know if anyone can point me in the right direction, or give me the right resources.

(I speak little Srpski and cannot read it at all at this point, so any translatable websites would be most helpful.)

I take great pride in the miracles that have been created in America but feel abashed when people of other nations ask a simple question about our government, 'Why?' We are surrounded by countries that disagree or strongly disagree with our policies. We have to think that perhaps we are not such a good neighbor. Canada and Mexico have issues with us, but so does Cuba, and many other small nations that have to go to bed with us to retain their economies...they dance to our music. Should they? If in the 1945 era, a nation said to us, 'you can't make atomic bombs!' Would we have stopped? Each country with hopefully prudent leaders must seek ways to defend themselves. Now it has created a major issue with Iran and North Korea but we let India slip by? Is it that the news media is creating problems for us and politicians reacting to public outcry? We need a careful look at both policy and polemics.
