The timing of the hostage release was odd, and I have wondered from time to time if it was not a set up to try and further disgrace Carter.

But why would Reagan's people want to do this after the landslide victory of the 1980 election?

What would be the point?

However, despite those obvious questions I still wonder about the timing.

Any thoughts about the timing of the Iran US Embassy hostage release?

For the last 3 years, the US Army and US Marine Corps have been using women in combat in Iraq, due to military necessity - even though, on paper, this is illegal. These women soldiers have proved in action that all the sexist stereotypes that "women aren't suited for combat" are incorrect.

Should the Department of Defense catch up with the reality on the ground, and open combat assignments to women? Or should they continue the hypocracy of assigning women to non combat MOS's, but having them actually fighting?

Seems like this would be a major issue. I know there are large numbers of Americans that would support this. So where are the people who want to run and support this issue?

I've been thinking a lot about the military lately, and most people
say I should try to go in as an officer through ROTC or one of those programs. Yet, I get the impression that officers are more like managers, where as the enlisted men are the ones who are actually the ones doing things. I know this is different for certain jobs, like Civil Affairs, but at the same time, that is one small job, and I've heard from people in ROTC that it can be really difficult to get the specific job you want.
So, for those who have been there and done that, if I'm looking to actually get in there and make a difference (most likely something MI related), then am I better off as an officer or an enlisted man?
I get the impression that MI officers sit behind a desk most of the day, and that would be if I even got MI as my branch after ROTC.
Also, I've been thinking about doing Human Intelligence Collection as an enlisted man.
Within that, would the army teach me Arabic?
Thank you.

The 'War on the Poor' with the 'no sleeping' bylaws and the 'War on God' with laws against cannabis are prime examples of elitist, arrogant thinking that needs to end...NOW.
Add "Poverty & Homelessness" to the human rights act.
Remove "Cannabis" from the criminal code.
Unless you think yourselves greater than GOD.

Do you say Mr. _____ or if you know their first name do you say their first name? Does it depend on how they address you when they talk to you? I don't want to be disrespectful.

My friend was driving and hit a car after my other friend grabbed his nuts and he was pushing her away. After he got in the accident, he switched seats with me. Now the girl that grabbed his balls told the police I was the one who was driving, and since the driver is saying the same thing to the cops, I now face a "Leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident" charge which will result in me losing my license, going to a juvenille detention center for up to 30 days, and getting a fine of up to $1000, not to mention sky-high insurance for the rest of my life..

What should I do? Is there any way I can get out of this in court?

..then we would never leave, we could tax it, and there's all that oil too!!!

We could take control, make all the Iraq people who wanted to stay US Citizens as well.

Think about it...yeah sure there will be ugly things going on for awhile, but pretty soon after a few decades it would look like Nevada.

Waht do you all think about that idea? Let's make Iraq the 51st state!

modernize it what would your plan of action be and how many years would it take you.

What sectors would you first focus on give your reasons, and timescale.

What would you do in the following sectors.

1. Economy
2. Political
3. Business
4. Judicial
5. Taxation
6. Infrastructure
7. Education

Give as many sectors as you may and a timescale of when Mexico would be a superpower, with little or no reliance on outside countries, and open borders.

Yesterday some of our neighbors down the street were having a party with very loud music (we live four houses down across the street and our walls were shaking). It didn't bother me at first, the party started at 6 PM but by 2 AM it was still going on.

So I walked outside half awake to talk to them and ask them to turn it down. When I walked outside, our other neighbors on the street who are black were already having a talk with them. The lady, a mom in her 50's, was yelling "LISTEN THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR FIVE HOURS AND IT NEEDS TO STOP!! I GOT KIDS THAT GOT SCHOOL TOMORROW!!!" So the neighbors having the party, who are Hispanic, call her racist and say if it were hip hop music, she would not be asking them to turn it down! But since it was mariachi it bothers her! She called the cops on the spot and the music was turned off.

This is in Immigration cause I dont know where else, and the house the party was at is a known drophouse. Is requesting turning music down racist?
