I mean, I can say something about scripture, and there will be a 4-letter word in an answer. What makes them do this, and claim that they are the gods of tolerance?

Like many of our young brave men wanting to serve their county, my then boyfriend now husband, joined the Army hoping the benefits would bring us a better life. Originally I was against him joining the Army, but I saw that he wanted to do this and I supported his decision.

I've seen him for a combination of 2 months time since we got married.

Now he is in Irak (sorry, I spell it the way it's meant to be spelled, not the American spelling). I do not support Bush or this war. So my question is, how do I support my soldier without supporting this war? Various personal experiences are welcome.

What if 9-11 was an inside job to secure money and invade and kill multiple thousands for oil?What if the US has so bankrupted other nations through exploitation that the only way for it's citizens to fight back is through "terrorism".What if the media are controled and actively decieveing the public?What if the education syestem does take the ability to think and reason away and replace it with parroting.What if we are the ones who are brainwashed ?How would we know ? How could we really imperically test that?We assume we are good and that our government is okay; what would a billion dollars do to your character and what is the litmus test for intenational truth?We accept as fact that this or that country doesn't get told the truth how do we know we are ?
Will you critisize me for dareing to ask or question the government isn't that communist trait? Are you sure your not brainwashed?

I hear people gripe and complain on nearly a daily basis about how the government is doing us wrong. They ARE correct, but when I ask them what they have done about it, they shrug their shoulders. Call, write, and email every politician that you know, and speak your mind!

The government said it was a catagory 3, I think it was a lot bigger then that.

Caste basis reservations would have been good some 20-30 years ago when it directly reflected economic status. But now I dont think caste and financial status of an individual corelate. There are people of so called 'scehduled' and 'backward' castes, financially sound, and those beloging to the so called upper castes craving for daily bread. Does the goverment of India Not know this? Or is this just a vote bank gimmick?

why is it that a woman has the right to do what she wants to her body when it concerns abortion, but when she want a tubal to PREVENT pregnancy she no longer has the freedome to do what she wants to her body, unless she already has 2 kids??????is it just me, or does this make you think they would rather you kill a baby than make the wrong choice to steralize yourself?!

but they dont make you wait 30 days to get an abortion!that is a big decision too! only your choosing for someone else as well.
i have 4 kids, my sister is the one who does not want children, she is a virgin, getting married soon, shes researching birth control and we realised this point today.

I'm so sorry. That's my free speech and I can exercise it. View my wonderful picture of God's word. It can save your soul, and make you a better person. Your selfishness and the evil that insists on abortion will change. You will start thinking about things clearly, and will act instead of just talk about things.

Good luck, and God loves you!

Immigration problems would dissapear. Economy would grow (for both). This would help to stabilize the region. If not the 51st State, then break Mexico up into several (or many) States.

(Revised from previous question).
A speeding train without a conductor is headed on a track towards 10 people who are tied down to the track. Right before the train would run over these people, there is a track that branches off. On this other track is 1 person tied down to it.

You cannot stop the train. However, you have a lever in your hand which can alter the train's path towards the 1 person if you pull it. Otherwise, the train heads toward the 10 people.

Do you pull the switch, knowing that you will have directly caused the death of an innocent person?

When I look at fuel consumption figures of average family vehicles over the past 40 years (we are talking about 4-door sedans of the most average, decade-specific specs), I can't help but notice that their fuel consumption has stayed largely the same (only applies to non-US vehicles, which seem to have doubled their fuel efficiency some time in the 1980s through the more general introduction of fuel injection and overdrives). It may well be true that cars have been able to deliver ever more performance while delivering the same fuel consumption over the decades - but would it not be wiser to utilize the increased power efficiency of our motors to perform at an even level over decades, but reduce fuel consumption? This seems logical. It just isn't done. I wonder whether there are quiet agreements between the oil- and car industries to keep consumption steady, with the car industry "excusing" relatively lame increases in fuel economy through improved performance, and a demand for it?
