My new bf is in the national guard! He was already in the Army and now he's a sgt. doing the guard thing one weekend a month...he still has 4 1/2 years on his contract...its really hard for me to want to be with him because of his odds of being deployed...What are the chances he will be and for how long is typical? It's just hard starting something with someone when u feel thats inevitable.

Whether you choose to believe it or not, this is a big issue. The democrats believe there are diplomatic ways to solve our national security needs. And they seek fair and reasonable treatment for citizens of America and insurgents.

And republicans are obsessed with taking out all of the 10's of thousands of insurgents, whose numbers grow exponentially, whether it be in a blatanty immoral or moral manner.

So another question is, which party's ideas about the war do you follow more?

My question for you conservatives is this. Are you more, or less likely to support a politician once you find out he's racist? You know, like Trent Lott, and George Allen....

im not trynna say bein a drug dealer is good, but if people didnt do drugs, then drug dealers wouldnt have anything to sell. druggies know wat theyre doing is really stupid n bad for them, but they do it anyway, even if they got 3 kids to feed, theyd spend all their money on drugs. dealers sell cuz they know they can make money off it. i really blame druggies for their problems, not so much of dealers.

I have a juvenile DUI warrant for not showing up to court. The judge gave me a year probation for drinking underage and got away with a couple of fines. The case was closed but i never showed up for the routine monthly check-in to see how everything was going with my probation and stuff. I called the court and they said i had a warrant and plus im violating probation because i stopped seeing my probation officer because she said if i come to see her she has to arrest me for having a warrant with the court, so she said to settle that and come back to her. OKAY, now the problem is i have to go to Washington DC to attend a funeral and i know nothing will happen while going to DC but im afraid when i try to come back to california where the warrant was issued ,im going to get arrested or something. I mean its not like im going out of the country, im just going out of state where you dont even need a passport to travel. Im stressing.. please some helpful answers. thanks

If you do the least amount of work should you get the most help? Shouldnt hard working families recieve some kind of help too? Arent they more deserving. Dont be fooled, a huge percentage of people collecting government benefits do so by choice. It angers me that after Katrina I got a loan fromt he SBA but if I had bad credit or lower income I would have gotten a 10-20k dollar grant from the government. Why does our system work this way? What motivation do they have to work if they are provided enough to live on and have no ambition for anything else? Cant we rip them from the government teet and start spending that money on industrious persons?

"I will guarantee you this though. In one week to 10 days, the terror level will be raised to orange, and we'll be told that there is strong evidence of a threat against America. Rove can't resist that one.

I don't think it will work though."

It's the last answer.

Does anyone else think that this "dirty bomb" threat is utterly bogus and is a desperate Rovian attempt to scare Americans into voting Republican?

Court-martial ordered in Iraq rape-murder case By Kristin Roberts

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Four U.S. soldiers face court martial for the rape and murder of an Iraqi girl and the killing of her family in their home in Mahmudiya, a U.S. military official said on Wednesday.

"Maj. Gen. Thomas Turner has referred charges against four soldiers to trial by general court-martial," the military official told Reuters.

Two of the soldiers could receive the death penalty if convicted, the Army said. One of the two others will likely admit his role and settle the case without litigation, according to his Washington attorney, David Sheldon.

The Mahmudiya case, the fifth involving serious crimes being investigated by the U.S. military in Iraq, has outraged Iraqis and led Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki to call for a review of foreign troops' immunity from Iraqi prosecution.

Yesterday, we had a discussion about World War III in our social studies class. It's sort of scaring me. [I'm not trying to offend anyone if I bring up some country names here. Sorry if I do.] But America and Canada are extremely close countries, and a lot of people want revenge on America.

i.e. Vietnam, Iraq, Venezuela [because of Bush, that monkey-butt..], North Korea..

A lot of these countries have their own atomic weapons. Would they launch them at Canada or America?

Also, what is the age that the soldiers would have to be to go to war? [I have an eleven year old brother and a forty-five year old father.]

Thank you! =]

they talk of american family values, while they twist the truth until it becomes a lie, while they are making sexual advances to children.
they tell us all good americans pay their fare share in taxes, while they move their business' off shore so they pay no taxes. if there is a problem with a country they don't like, they send our young men and women in and just blow the crap out of them. if one of our son or daughters die, they are patriotic americans! where are their sons and daughters? sipping drinks on the beach somewhere safe! then as good americans, we have to pay to rebuild that country, after they signed away our jobs to some third word country. then they tell us , if we all had a better education and we worked harder this would not have happened to us. we just expect too much! then they find a way to secretly raise your taxes and try to make us think it was our idea! SHUT UP & PAY UP seems to be their motto! I'M TERRIFIED of them!
