My former question:"Hezbollah has unguided, crappy rockets, but if one had accidentally hit the UN post, George Bush would immediately be condemning Lebanon. However, the Israeli pilots are experienced and using extremely hi-tech weaponry which is extremely accurate and precise *(making an accident extremely unlikely) and their destruction of the UN post has drawn almost no criticism from the US. " received a lot of criticism for not addressing the targeting of civilians by hezbollah; I know Hezbollah targets civilians, it's reported with just as much attention folks and I know it's not right, but Israel calls Hezbollah terrorists. If Israel starts doing the same thing, doesn't that make the Israelis the same thing? Israeli fighters before 1948 were using comparable terrorist tactics against the Brits. My point was directed towards strictly the UN casualties. Doesn't it seem a little conspicuous? fyi:Hez's longer range rockets are incapable of hitting specific targets, like Israel's

I am trying to get back into the military, but I do not have my medical records for when I was discharged. I am trying to get them so that I can get a waiver on my previous discharge. That way I can get back in the military.

Here in California there are laws from many, many years ago that are a little quirky. For example, it is illegal to have sex other than missionary style, and the law is still in place. They don't enforce it, but it's still a law, and it hasn't been changed. Isn't that funny?

THREE THINGS TO THINK ABOUT:

1. COWS
2. THE CONSTITUTION
3. THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

COWS Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that our government can track a cow born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she sleeps in the state of Washington? And, they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country. Maybe we should give them all a cow.

THE CONSTITUTION They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq. Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it's worked for over 200 years and we're not using it anymore.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments in a courthouse...You cannot post "Thou Shalt Not Steal," "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery" and "Thou Shall Not Lie" in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians -- it creates a hostile work environment.

Ok,so there was this man who abused his wife.She went to court about it,but the judge didn't want to hear it.Later on,the man walked into the store that his wife worked at.He dowsed her with gasoline and set her on fire.She had 3rd degree burns all over her body.She had to have a FACE transplant.She will never be the same again.Should the man get life in prison,where he would spend the rest of his life?However,he would also get free food,clothing,and shelter.Or,should he get the death penalty?Where he would die painfully.However,he wouldn't have to think and suffer over what he did.I'm just asking opinions,respectful ones would be nice.

All you have to look at if the failures of Russia and The USA.
Russia goes into Afghanistan and can't rid the country of these maggots after many years. The USA leads coalition forces into Afghanistan and so far has acomplished absolutley nothing and now we have Isreal defending herself from these Hezbo maggots.

I omitted USA in Iraq as that invasion has nothing to do with radical terrorist groups such as Hamas and Hezbolla who have no regard for human life and would bomb your sister in the name of there BS religion.

My 14yr. old has recently broken in a home and stole loaded pistols, liquor, pills, jewelry. This kid has NEVER caused any trouble at home or school, he's on honor roll, honor society, and is polite, respectful.....And he says he did this alone, and won't give a reason as to why he did it, or what he was gonna do with the guns. Police say sounds like he got mixed up w/a gang. Anyone have any insight into this????

I have studied this Irish connection thing. And it is true that most prominate politicians are of Irish decent.

So I'm thinking that If I change my name to Colter or ORiley maybe even Bush, it would help me win a local assembly seat.

I could be Blackirish

I quote from BBC .....UN peacekeepers in south Lebanon contacted Israeli troops 10 times before an Israeli bomb killed four of them, an initial UN report says.
The post was hit by a precision-guided missile after six hours of shelling, diplomats familiar with the probe say.
UN-led crisis talks in Rome ended with no agreement to urge an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.
In ongoing clashes, up to 13 Israeli soldiers were reported killed in southern Lebanon on Wednesday.
Israel has not confirmed any deaths from among its soldiers, but says there have been 20 casualties in the clashes around the town of Bint Jbail, a strategically located Hezbollah stronghold.
Later, the centre of Tyre was hit by a massive explosion, possibly caused by an Israeli air strike.
More than 400 Lebanese and 42 Israelis have died in two weeks of conflict, which began after Hezbollah captured two Israeli soldiers in a cross-border raid on 12 July.
