have no problem over-funding our military to the point where our military can squash any militia like a bug?

I understand arming yourselves to hunt and protect property but the ultimate purpose of the 2nd to protect from a tyrannical governement so how do you rationalize the above?


Serious answers, please.

One of these times, when the Hezbollah faithful are protesting in the streets of Lebanon, that Israel or maybe even the current democratically elected government of Lebanon, may decide enough is enough. . . . ... .and bomb the protest !!!

Maybe not yet.. . .. . . .But do you think it might come to that ???

Enlistment is down in every branch of the Armed Forces. How long can the same troops be expected to serve before being replaced with new troops? Without a draft where are those troops going to come from?

For my birthday yesterday, the army decided to send me this overnight delivery. Unfortunately it wasn't a pretty diamond ring. They are giving me a month to report to Ft Jackson so I can be activated. I served 5 years in the army and one of those years in Iraq. I can not be doing this anymore with the army, they have already taken so much from me and I know that I signed the paperwork saying I'll do a 8 yr committment (which I might add, the recruiter failed to mention). I am just wondering if I can get out for medical? Right now I'm collecting 40% disability, because the army decided to make me damaged goods. And if so, can they determine this before I report or after. I'm not sure if anyone knows the answer to this but I figured I would ask anyway since I only have a month to figure out what is going on with my life. Also, if there is any other options for me, I think I did enough for this country. Thanks

Stopped watching the news? Your newly elected and still standing congressmen and women are NOT going to cut and run as you had hoped.

(sigh)
This was asked before, and someone answered... 12 - and that's WRONG. It varied, from 328 (in the beginning) to 100, if I recall correctly.
12.
I'm not sure that the answer could be more wrong.
Towards the end of the war, on paper at least, it was about 100, I believe. Each (standard) Wehrmacht Panzer Division had one Panzer Regiment composed of 2 battalions (theoretically) one of which had Panzer IV's, and the other had Panzer V's (Panthers)

My boyfriend was sent a notice to appear for a show cause hearing for a probation violation. The paper did not have a date on it, so when he was to see his PO next, he was going to ask her if they had set a date yet. He never got to see her, because a warrant was issued for failure to show in court and he was arrested. He is now sitting in jail waiting to be transferred to a jail 200 miles away. What can be done in this situation? He always shows up for court and had intended on doing so this time. Also, his violation that he has the hearing for was already taken care of by his PO and now they want to send him in front of the judge 2 months later with one of the charges being a complaint that he was seen intoxicated at a bar but there is no proof it was him. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Yesterday I found myself at the bus stop soaking wet because the bus comapanies have made them so vandal proof they serve little purpose. On the station I sat on a cold vandal proof bench and looked at the thick vandal proof waiting office glass. Two shops in the high street had smashed windows and this will reflect in all of our policies next year. I could go on, but my question is. What kind of moron / chav destroys his of her future comforts. Brainless or what !!

Why is that some products are identically similar but are still being sold?
For instance -
Vasaline Lotion/moisturizer product looks similar to CVS brand (same bottle color same color combination e.t.c)
Head & Shoulder Shampoo Similar to CVS brand.
Multivitamins bottle
Honda Accord 2004 design similar to Hyundai Sonata 2004 design only diffrent is the logo and little changes on the body kit and lights.
Nike Hats being sold in gas stations but they aren't Original Nike Hats made by some unknown company
Some MP3 Players are identically similar but diffrent names.

I know some what the law was if an item is identically similar to another then their is a copyright or trademark infringement. But how is that these companies get away with it. What's the law in terms of reality e.t.c
Thanks
