As you can see with the border towns Texas, California, and Arizona, 95% of the congress members with hispanic last names voted against builing a fence. And they even seemed to influence the other members of the congress in there states (border towns). And most of the Hispanic last names in non border states also voted against the fence while other races voted for it. And Most of the hispanic congress members are from border towns. Does anyone else find these statistics a bit odd?

Or do you have to stand there naked in front of the doctor and urinate into a beaker?

I'm asking because I have to have an initial medical exam on my assessment day upon joining the Army.

I read an article about the new Japanese Prime Minister -
The article said he was of the "Liberal Democrat Party" but all the issues he claimed to believe in sounded like the Republicans here in the US
- stronger military
- less social spending
- stronger alliance with US and China
- abolishing pacifist legislation

My landlord said I cannot have viswitors to my apartment after 10PM I live on the ground floor of an open building. My door opens on the sidewalk. Police have never been called about noise or any other disturbance at my apartment.I live in Waikiki Beach, work in a restaurant as do all my friends and we get home late so we entertain late. Does he have the right to do this
He claims its for security but we have no security guards,no locked gates,no entry system in place.I pay rent, I feel I should be able to enjoy my home anytime I want.
Also, I was an apartment manager for 18 years and have only heard of this in closed rental units,ie;halfway houses,shelters etc...

it seems to me that America as a country is fighting or at least a seccion of it several very significal countries .

france the leader of help to african nations and a promoter of peace between many countries .

mexico a country which provides a very important source of workers to USA and a one of the few countries which did not requiered a war to convert into a democracy .

canada always a friend which has been seeing the relation with usa deteroriate ever since it decided not to back USA in a war which most american regret today .

so here is my question , why isn't America trying to make friends with them instead of insulting them and treat them with out respec a lot of the time ???

Many people accuse the US of hypocrisy, whereby they are the champions of democracy and liberty but do not, for example, purge Sudan of its genocidal maniacs. Is this solely a reflection of US greed, i.e. not getting involved if US economic interests aren’t at stake, or does it represent both a dislike for getting involved in African politics, because of America's past history of slavery, or a institutional problem at the UN, who have literally watched massacre after massacre (Rwanda, Uganda, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Zimbabwe etc.) without taking action?

I do not understand why these Muslim leaders are just giving statements and organising rallies in their own country instead of discussing and formulating a strategy to deal with terrorism and Islamophobia?.

I hear alot of pundits running their mouths about "what the soldiers think" but they really seem to be making it up as they go along.

I have been against the war in Iraq since its inception but have not had the chance to sit down and talk to anyone who has been there.

Enlighten me.
