Do you have to commit a crime/attract the attention of authorities first,or do they do profiling "just to see" if there's anything funny about you?

For a moment forget about the entire immorality of the draft and think about this. If women want to be full citizens, which they are, then shouldn't they be forced to sign up for the draft. If the entire purpose of the draft is to "fight for your country" then shouldn't they be forced to go to war if we need them?

I was fired from my government job on Oct 3, 2005, I have been diagnosed with PTSD, and the government chose to fire me because of problems that developed after my return from Iraq. It worsened after return to work in December 2004, I sought out help through the employee assistance program at my job, I finally ended up at the Veterans Administration, where they diagnosed me with PTSD, at which I'm rated at 60%, and 10 % for my hearing loss, my family has difficulty with me, my children know that I'm not the same person I was before I left for Iraq, my parents don't understand it either, I rarely leave my home, my relationship with my girl friend has failed, I've contacted the president, vice president, all my senators and congressmen, only one congressman has tried to help, but his help seem to be in vain. I know it sounds like self-pity, honestly I would have to agree somewhat, but I was called upon to serve my country, and sacrificed allot, I just want what right, help me please

Why not? They just go under or climb over, electrifying it would stop this immediately. Why does this country always seem like it's being run by a bunch of p*ssies. We should be hard like Russia or Brazil where they treat criminals very harshly so it teaches them a lesson. Our prisons are like luxury condos for many people with all the ammenities they get now, it's f*cking ridiculous. These people are criminals and should be dealt with harshly at the source of the problem...the border

We can worry more about terrorist in other countries but we can't worry about the ones in ours. What is up with that? Gangs are still as popular as they've always been. They are still killing and selling drugs so why isn't it illegal to be in a gang like that?

I read about Hyperinflation in Zimbabwe, the govenrment has recently removed 3 zeroes from their currency. People carry bags full of bills to pay for cheap wares.

2 years ago Turkey had to remve 6 zeroes from their currency.

In germany hyperinflation also happened during Weimer republic, prices changed every few hours.

Could hyperinflation happen in the USA?

I remember the practice drills we used to have in school called "Duck and Cover". An alarm would sound and we would all go under our desks and cover our heads.
I thought this would be an effective strategy for the republicans.
Examining the congressional websites I have noticed that many of the republicans have taken their party affiliation out of their biographies.
Isn't this the same as "Duck and Cover"?


Go ahead, take this fun test and see how many you can identify.

Does the Plan B drug abort a fertilized egg? If so why are the anti-abortion believers not in an uproar about this. I ask out of complete ignorance of how the OTC drug works.

I am pro-choice BTW mostly because the folks that are anti-abortion are the same folks that fight for lower taxes and less social programs for our children. For example, why would President Bush and the right wingers want WIC programs or Head Start Programs cut, (they have been cut) when these programs benefit the very children that they don't want aborted. Quite hyprocritical I think.

Many will say women should not have an abortion for any reason yet the conservative right wingers want their taxes cut to benefit themselves. I don't get it. Will someone please help me to understand?

I think the western rules and regulations are liberal. Western soceity and rules feeds terrorists. Lets say, You are a christian terrorist , planning to bomb a muslim country and caught, Do you think they are going to spare you?. They will chop your head off next friday after prayer.Its pity that some British white Solicitors stand in the court for terrorists. Kill them as well. No human right consideration for terrorists. No terrorist have become a good man after being jailes infact came out strong. Shoot them at sight. Kill them one by one with in five years and make sure none one of them enter your country again.
