Would this ever happen? And if we attacked North Korea, would the Chinese be on their side as they where during the first Korean War?

Do you think The North Koreans are crazy enough to carry out such a insane tactic? Do you really believe that the leader or North Korea is really ready to negotiate? Or is it just a front hes puttin on? Can this guy really be trusted?

Why do SOME Americans are so proud of themselve?

Economy- The japanese average salary range are much higher than the Americans. For example, all the americans working in the American military base want to pay by the japanese goverment instead of the american goverment, because the japanese goverment pay much better.

Political- freedom- I am pretty sure the Canadian government gave its citizens much more freedom than the American gov. For instance- freedom of speech, legal drinking age, drug policy( too much contorl over it, it doesnt seem like its better than canada tho, the US had much more drug violence than canada), gay marriage, etc.

Appearence- For sure European are much much better( no matter face(better , body(american are fat), and fashion, american fashion are crap (Abercorombie has no style at all, pretty much the same thing in the shop, but american are so crazy about it),

Smartness-- American are not the smartest people in the world, prob the Chinese are

It seems that the foundationds of moral substance, and ethical fortitude which made our country strong are being sacrificed at the sake of furthering political agendas and idealistic dogma. Have we as a people become so blind as to not be able to comprehend the inevitablly damnable outcome of profit, and partisan politics in place of true good old fashioned public service? Are our personal ideals, and vices so ultimately important as to overrule even the most basic forms of common self survival as a whole? Can we get back to a point where the only profits afforded within the political arena are self evident realizations of prosperity benifical to even the common man?
Please, If you can't be neutral, or sincere, don't reply.

At the turn of the century working conditions were deplorable. Children were exploited. Labor unions served an valuable purpose when they were formed. They improved working conditions for people. But that is ancient history. They quickly degenerated into a harmful entity.

Now we have things like OSHA and the Department of Labor in America. Labor unions are an anachronism. Many unions are infested with leftwing political operatives, even communists. Often they have ties to organized crime (i.e. the Mafia). They employed brutal tactics and violence to achieve their goals. If you disagreed with them, you'd end up with a busted kneecap or worse.

Many US states have now passed "right-to-work" laws ensuring citizens the freedom from union intimidation. In modern times, we ought to get rid of these embarrasing relics of the past. Don't you agree?

They are providing nearly 150,000 troops to prop up DEMOCRACY in Iraq ( Not forgetting the aussies and the once imperial japs ). Obviously the Iraqis don't care much about democracy , else why should these generous nations sacrifice 1000s of their soldiers and their resources just to get their soldiers shot at? I think Saddam was doing a much better job before. If the Occuppiers cant do their job competently why dont they just quit??
( Or are the japs plan to go about their imperial adventure with americans this time around?? )

I've heard it several times before... "if you raise taxes too much, the rich will leave"... rich Republicans I'm assuming, since they are defending them...

are these the "patriots" that constantly talk about how American they are? So patriotic that they will leave if we don't give them a small percentage of their money back?

they are so American that they will leave, if they don't get to keep that extra million, on top of their 500 million that they have in an offshore account already?

I guess it's ok to die for your country, but don't repeal that 5 percent tax cut or I'm moving?

yes, it's quite clear who the real Americans are when you talk about money I guess?

Someone really dear to me was terminated from her job, because she was expecting her third child. In Malaysia, the federal constitution guarantees that a working mother be accorded full maternity benefits without losing her job up to 5 surviving children. However, her employers Malaysia Airlines enforces a collective agreement that was signed by the Airline's union to only 2 children!
Further previously terminated stewardesses have lost their cases in Malaysian Courts because of this technicality! It seems that in the eyes of Malaysian Law, the Federal Constitution is not applicable to contracts between two private individuals/entities.
In other words, Malaysia Airlines can continue to abuse the rights of these mothers, so long as it feels the need to wihtout contravening Malaysian Laws! This sounds absurd to me.
I would like to know if such law exists in any other countries?

The middle class tax rate was cut under this administration leading to an extra $100 Billion in revenues and more job creation. Also, this administration increased the no tax rate bringing disposable income levels up in the poorest Ameircans. But yet democrats consistantly call for the repel of these sound economical actions. Can anyone explain thier reasoning?

"I'm not from the states and wanna join the army how can i do that"? Okay the man asks a innocent question he wants to die for a country he is not from you guys should respect that!
But look what the swnsering man says:

"Why do want to join the United States Army you worthless piece of ****, why do you have to come here to find out?
If you want information, you have to give information.
**** off".

This makes me wonder why the U.S likes illegals so much but no these great legal immigrants who want to help this nation.

So basically, if this is really good job your applying for is it best to let them know ahead time of what's on your record, or just let them do the background check, then explain yourself.
