I would like to ask if you support the death penalty and if so how should people be executed? I also would like to know if you could actually be the executioner who kills without remorse?

I fear for the safety of a dear old friend who is having trouble with her neighbours as they want her to move out so they can have a family or a young couple moving in, but why should she sell the house where she has lived all her life? There's been firecrackers through the letterbox, so it's not harmless pranks. I went with her to the police who I felt didn't take it seriously. I feel the abuse is getting worse and don't know how to help her? I also fear for her mental health as this case is a great strain on her mind.

18 years and the Spousey one don't care to know or has much of a clue, never acted very interested in what I did when I was AD either, seemed more interested in my pay periods than anything else!
So would that bother you? Seems to really eat at me though, and yes I've mentioned it to no avail.
Am I so wrong to assume your Spouse should care, or at least act like they are interested in what you do, what your MOS is, what your proper title is in uniform, what is your Paygrade, etc etc?

After several years of talking, I stopped and asked some questions...then I realized that Spouse never listened.

I dunno...seems like my relationship really sucks since this still haunts me 5 years later and nothing else seems to be working either.
The Military was (and is) still very important to me. I'm not one of those types that pretends that I was never on AD, or relive it 24/7/365 like the stereotypical HS Football Jock, it's just something I'm proud of being a part of. Am I wrong?

I keep hearing about a fence being built along the US/Mexico border, set up with survallience and everything. Is this a huge media joke, or is it really in the works? My opinion is: we seriously, and truly need one built! It should be 6 feet deep and 15 feet high, set up with razor wire atop!

Pacific?)"

"A joint venture of Texas and the Mexican government, La Entrada al Pacífico (Gateway to the Pacific) which also is the title of the DEA report is meant to get more goods from Asia north into the United States.

The plan which involves redirecting more than half of East Coast-bound Asian cargo from the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles to Mexico will stretch the power of Mexican cartels while aligning them with Asian drug-trafficking organizations, according to the DEA report. That report focuses on the Mexican port of Topolobampo, Sinaloa, on Mexico's southwestern coast.

But Topolobampo has taken a back seat during the past year to another port, Lázaro Cárdenas, just 72 hours from Laredo.

Lázaro Cárdenas, the deepest container port on the Pacific, is in southern Mexico, in Michoacán. The volume of re-routed trade through it is expected to explode within the next four years.

And that's troubling to U.S. authorities.

it was in 1993 the painful history of somalia when american troops fought against somali civilian.the president of USA at that time was the father of the current president.before that time there were no any hostility between somalia and US. when bilclinton become president he dropped out the troops from somalia..cos he was a real politician..but just in six months most of the south become peaceful then ethiopia invaded backing by US government. ethiopia and somalia are know together and in 1977 is in every ethiopian person..i think bush and his father come to president to make enemy rather to make friend. many people thought that bush and his father have a hostility to the somali people.. i know that thousands of people live in the US specially minnesota. where does this hostility came from?

I recently became aware of these videos on youtube.com about the President's signing of the Military Commissions Act that effectively kills habeas corpus. This Latin phrase was what required the police to charge you withing 48 hours of arresting you and allowing you to challenge the fact that you're being held.

With the signing of the Military Commissions Act, anybody labeled as an 'enemy combatant' can be held, without charges or a trial, indefinitely.

The problem here is that anybody can be labeled an 'enemy combatant'. How? Simple. They state that the reason you are considered an enemy combatant is a matter of national security and as such it is classified information.

This all happened back in October. Why haven't I seen anything about this other than the two youtube videos I'll provide the URLs to? Why was this allowed to occur? Why isn't anybody doing anything about this?

About Gerald Ford:

"Usually, burying a 93 year old loved one is sorrowful but, I believe his pardon of Richard Nixon is one of the factors that have led to the untimely deaths of over 3000 American soldiers and hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians in the Middle East"

Where were the National orginazation of Women ? Or any of the women's rights organizations/
Notice : I did not hear a peep from those groups. In the past it would seem that if a Republican looked at a woman the wrong way you would get a group of facial-haired , birkenstock wearing , body odor reeking mean faced "women" calling for his head on a platter - in my most humblest of opinions.
