I'm especially interested in those between the ages of 21-30. If you haven't yet voted (weren't old enough before) do you plan to vote in the next election?

I think we have a *** load of laws for a country that is supposed to be free. I am getting tired of the government telling us we cannot do this or that. Is not that the reason why this country was created? To be freed from controlling dictatorship and persecution. Now thats what we seem to have become it really is a crying shame. The government does not know everybodies "best interest" so why do they pass laws for that sake? I know some countries have it a lot worse but I think thats where America is headed. It just a matter of time before "our administration" points the gun to our heads and we have to jump ship.
One Love to everybody that feels me on this.

I went to an Army base in Oklahoma and there were no doors on the bathroom stalls in either the womens or mens bathroom. Why is that?

Think about it, they should pay their dues right away just like all of us.They are all naturally great in the desert. Good night vision, patrol avoidance, tunnelling (think osamma), smuggelling, Fence climbing. Forging documents. blending in with ,locals(they could pass for an Iraqi). agriculture. Worst case dont train them just drop them near a potential target and use them as decoys. Hey pretty good deal for free health care, wellfare checks, freeways,schools, police, everything else we and our fore fathers paid for.

Ok--high schoolers--Have the army recruiters started calling you yet?
From the summer before my senior year all the way through to the summer AFTER my senior year, I had this one recruiter calling me at least 8-10 times a week. This was in 1995-96. It got to the point that he was calling every day at 7am. My parents threated to press charges for harrassment. Nothing worked with this jackass. The guy just would NOT take a hint!
Finally, toward the end of the fall after graduation, I just told him, "Look, you need to quit calling me. I can't join the army. You wouldn't want me anyway. I'm GAY!"

*click*

He hung up and I never heard from him again. The one and only time I've ever told anyone I'm gay. Which I'm not, by the way; but it got him off my case finally!

I know this isn't really a question; I just wanted to share.

And don't start on me about hating the military,etc. Save it. I'm a guard at Ft.Bragg for f***s sake! (private contractor).

this old woman has made racially charged remarks to my family members and it's all because we rent out a couple of rooms to help pay the mortgage,she's even called the building inspector because we put up a partition which was legal but we spent in excess of $500.00 having it inspected,we were told that it wasn't even necessary to have all this done.she has said that she would call the police if one person even walked in front of her house.this house is a mix of folks and all clean ,sober and non drug using.we don't bother anyone but she seems agitated to the point of mental illness.we have never had social interraction with her nor anyone else and wish to keep it that way.who would you contact?our house has one mexican,one mexican-indian one white elderly gentleman,one jewish gentleman and three filipinos,only two are not related.we need to put a stop to this hate she pours out before it goes too far she seems bent on running us off,i believe she's a racist.

Seeing the US-Situation and how the United States are actually led, a depreciation of the dollar during the next month would be no wonder to me. So what if it really would happen and this by 50%? How would your Lifestyle (as far that you got one) look like?

I would like to tell you that you are wrong to fight for Bush. You are not courageous troops that are fighting for not only our freedom, but the freedom of countries that do not have any idea of what the word {freedom} actually means. We, as American fools, sit in the safe and comfortable confines of our homes in a stupid country, some complaining that the war is costing too much money,( It Is ) soldiers are dying for Nothing.Our government doesn't know what it is doing, ( TRUE) It is very disturbing and heart-breaking to see troops die for nothing. The hardships that our soldiers have made and are facing to give us our rights and freedoms but only if you are rich and can buy justice. Instead of complaing about the war, we as good Americans should request the troops to come home from this worthless war which will end up like Vietnam. (Defeat ) The USa Government will go down in shame. Once again of course.

Christians believe that the Scriptures as laid down by the Hebrew patriarchs and recorded in the Old Testament -- and as reiterated largely intact in the New Testament -- constitute the objective and immutable standard by which morality, sexual or otherwise, should be measured. And they believe that sex, other than monogamous, heterosexual sex within the confines of holy matrimony, is immoral and sinful.

What about all the rest of us
