i was tryin to re-enlist but i think my recruiter has given up on me. im prior service but have lost my dd214 and need a re code waiver. no biggie, my re is 3 i got out honarbly and no misconduct what so ever. im single, 32, and in good health, i dont understand. is it because he has to do some extra paperwork and im not 18 and can just walk in and swear in and he gets his commission like that? amazing how an army recruiter isnt willing to go the extra mile. and recruiters out there willing to go the extra mile for me and get me back in?

Our country was supposedly built by and for the people. If this is true, then what has happened? We are encouraged to vote by many organizations that say our vote counts, but does it really? No matter what I or any other registered voter decides on can be over ruled. In a democracy, which the United States claims to be, each citizen has a right to have an equal share of the vote, but when we have to elect someone that we hope will respect our votes what is the point. Votes are counted anyway to determine what the electoral college should vote for or against, so why don't our votes just count. What I really want to know is why do we use these systems that have failed so many times in history? If everyone agreed to Vietnam or the "War on Terror", then why did so many people protest it? Will we ever change to be more understanding of individual rights rather than signing our opinions away to someone we don't even know?

For instance
ls Bush a moron?
Is Bush an Idiot or What?
Is Bush the new Hitler?
It appears the more juvenile and moronic the GW questions the more response there is to it. Can it be these questions are for the simple minded, or some kind of group therapy to spew your dailey rants. I would like see some different insight (even though I am sure I will get a lot of simpletons response) personally this is my last GW querry tired of seeing them will abstain from this point on.

This anti-American jerk, Lieutenant Ehren Watada, is refusing to go to war because he claims it is an "illegal war". However, I am sure it has been pointed out to him that Congress voted for the war, but apparently facts can't get in his thick skull.

He is set to face up to six years in Prison, which, with parole, will probably be one at best. The soldiers "torturing" prisoners at Gitmo got more than that, if you can call putting underwear on someone's head torture. It's not like they cut someone's head off. Oh, that's right, the IRAQIS did that.

I mean, look at this dude. He just LOOKS like a pansy.

They shouldn't have accepted him into the army anyway.

Back to my question. How would YOU punish this guy? I would say a public hanging, or firing squad. But I would prefer the public hanging, I think people need to see what happens to a traitor.

Did you know.....illegal Mexicans are going to be given(free) over 200,000 GPS tracking devices by the Mexican government just this year. To help them navigate their way here through Arizona. (I wonder where those devices really come from)
Did you know.....illegals can now come here with fake social security cards and work for 18 months and become qualified to draw social security benefits if they have worked at least 8 years in their own country. Then they can still draw the benefits if they move back to their home country and many do because it is so much more than they can get in Mexico and it's guarunteed. It takes Americans 10 years to get those benefits.
Did you know......illegals are being lured by the IRS to come clean and show their fake documents to prove they've been working here illegally and they will be entitled to federal and state income tax refunds. Those refunds are expected to be over 10 billion dollars just this year.
Are you outraged by this? I am and so should the rest of America.

Or is it maybe that violent felons can't but others can? I don't know and am curious because I know a violent felon CAN get gov. assistance with food stamsp & stuff but a person convicted with a felony that involved drugs in any way can't. What's up with that? OK, I can kill someone and stay on gov assistance, but I can't get caught with drugs. Wierd

When I see big People that are over 150lbs on a horses back I feel like drop kicking them off that poor horses back...
If we could ask the horse if he/she wanted us savages on his/her back ....I bet most if not all horses would say back the puck off.
How would you like a 6 year old child on your back every day for hours at a time ? that would cause back problems.
Do you think their should be a law that protects poor horses from people that are over 150lbs?......... if you exceed that you are not allowed on the horse,would be fair I think.
My Fiancee Thinks I am over Reacting ....What do you think ?

I know history isn't probably the most popular subject, I was known to snooze out once or twice in high school, but I think the people who never paid attention grew up and became liberals, and those of us that paid attention became republican... any thoughts?????
