Often times I'll hear the rhetoric that "the death penalty is racist" used by opponents to capital punishment. Just curious: how is it actually racist? The fact that more minorities get executed than whites does not prove that statement true in and of itself. First you must prove that the people sentencing these convicts is actually judging according to race, and then and only then will that accusation carry any water. Death penalty opponents - I'd like to hear your thoughts.

My husband was in the Marines for 4 yrs. He was inactive reserve for 4 yrs. He has been active duty Army for 18 months. PSB gave him credit for 8 yrs of service when he came into the Army. He re-enlisted last week and was told his bonus was smaller due to be a "long term" service member. This week when his LES became available for viewing I noticed that his base pay was not what it usually is. He is in Iraq so when he called I told him to check on his pay. He was told by finance that his time in service had been done incorrectly by PSB here at Ft Bragg and that he now only has credit for 5 yrs of service and his pay was being adjusted accordingly. They also said that they were giving him 8 yrs of credit in relation to his retirement, but not in relation to figuring his pay. Can they take away yrs of credit after almost 18 mos. now in the Army? Should he now be eligible for a larger bonus? We have to repay the money he was paid in error (@ a rate of $850/mo!). What can I do?

I'm a conservative myself, but it bewilders me whenever I see some country-fried lunkhead complaining about government regulation on gun ownership, when it's been proven that gun control decreases gun-related crime. I mean, assault weapons? These people think we should be able to own ASSAULT WEAPONS?! I just don't get it. Can someone explain?

Are people who commit these crimes afraid to die, which would deter them from committing the crimes because of the penalty? Is it just the revenge factor?

I am currently a permanent resident in the United States. I moved here from my home country two years ago. As great as it is here in the US, i miss my friends and I would like it better if I finish college in my country. The problem is I don't know if I will be losing my permanent resident status in the US. How long can i actually stay in another country without endangering my immigration status?

The way I see it, sex education is something very important - between a parent and their child. So please don't act like I'm one of those right-wing religious freaks that thinks kids shouldn't know anything about sex - that couldn't be further from what I believe. I just think, that sexual education doesn't belong in school. Guess what? I don't think physical education belongs in school, either. In my opinion, school should be about math, reading, science, writing, and history - not footballs and condoms. Sex should be taught as the parent sees fit, and if they're too inept to teach their children properly, that is one of the downsides to living in a democracy. What do you think?
