Politics & Government - 15 January 2007

I am a sophmore in highschool training to enlist in the United States Marine Corps. I am currently enrolled in MCJROTC and very desparate in passing the PFT. I have been trying ever since last year to do 3 pull ups. I can do the 100 crunches and can pass the run and everything else just fine. My knoledge is fine (General Orders, USMC History, Leadership Traits/Principles, Phonetic Alphabet, Uniform Inspections/Regulation, Land Nav., Marksmanship and everything else is good). Only thing thats been worrying me is the pull ups...I can do one on a good day...Its so sad. I PT twice and sometimes 3 times a week. I don't PT much because I don't have the time to PT regularly with school and ROTC. I want to start the DEP program but I don't know what to do if I cant do three pull ups. Well here are my physical specs. Please leave any helpful tips on how to overcome this obstacle.

Height: 6ft.
Weight: 187lbs.
Crunches: 100 in 1min. 49sec.
Dash Run: 2min. 6sec.
Mile Run: 9min 6sec.

The stands many have no hot or cold water or even soap. I seen them wrote up in the paper under health inspections. Many where found to have no bathrooms. They did have Mexican flags every where. They do have all that Circus Music. They do have every stand in town looking like the Mexico flag. None where found to have an American flag of my search of 75 stands not one American flag. Is having a Mexican flag a code word only illegal aliens understand much like their gang signs? Gang signs where the next drug buy is or drug sell ? Why are these taco stands so UNAMERICAN ?

“The broad mass of the nation … will more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a small one.” - Adolf Hitler (could have just as easily been Bush that said it though)

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.” — Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels (is it that hard to imagine Karl Rove saying this behind closed doors?)

“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Göring (or was it Vice-president Cheney??)

Is it just me or are these quotes all startlingly relevant today?

Im confused on whether this would be considered sexual contact and illegal. Consider age of consent being 17. My initial guess would be no. I'm referring to a peck not a full blown makeout session. Thought about this reading my NYS Penal law.

The dealership hired the company who provides the car washes, and the car wash hires their own employess but the dealership knew that the employee wasnt a licensed driver and that the job required driving the cars to and from the car wash, Dont they have insurance to cover accidents like that and isnt it unlawful to take an employees paycheck with no contract or anything being signed stating what action would be taken if this situation occured.

In the treaty they agree to halt building houses on the West Bank. But if America was told to stop building houses on the border with Mexico would we? Hell no, so why all the backlash against another country looking out for it's interests?

2001: On September 11th the attack on the World Trade Center is orchestrated by Britain, America and Israel under the orders of the Rothschilds as a pretext for removing the liberty of people worldwide in exchange for security, just as they did with the Reichstag fire in Germany where the citizens were lied to in order to give up liberty for security.

They also will use the attacks to gain control of the few nations in the world who don’t allow Rothschild central banks and so less than one month after these attacks, US forces attack Afghanistan, one of only 7 nations in the world who don’t have a Rothschild controlled central bank.

One week prior to the WTC attack, the Zim Shipping Company moves out of its offices in the WTC, breaking its lease and costing the company $50,000. No reason has ever been given, but Zim Shipping Company is half owned by the State of Israel (The Rothschilds).

They're so biased, they make the old "Pravda" look like a paragon of journalistic integrity by comparison. Has anyone been following the flap over their feature about the El Salvadoran woman supposedly serving a 30-year sentence for having an illegal abortion? Even the Times' own ombudsman admits that is a false claim. She was convicted of infanticide after the autopsy showed the baby was born alive and then strangled...yet the editors refuse to clarify or retract.

The Times has never met a liberal position or cause it disliked...and is becoming more and more willing to lie and sitort in order to further said causes.

In the school the boys started to harrass you because you were very beautiful and to press you to be their girlfriend but you wnated to be the leader because you were the most intelligent (by then). The pressure and harrasment was so big that you had to hide from the rest of the people and started to isolate yourself and consequently got ill and miserable because of gender prejudices that women cannot be leaders???
It happened to me.
I don't mind the thumbs down.
I have suffered enough when men threatened me with raping me and I had to shut up

Have you all heard? Nancy Pelosi voted against the minimum wage increase for American Samoa and her husband owns a tuna factory there!!!

This has to be the biggest controversy since Watergate!

I can't beleive how corrupt those libby-lib lib Democraps are!

I mean Iran-Contra funding terrorists and baby killers with CIA coke money and lying about WMD to start the Islamic Jihad WW3 in Iraq is NOTHING compared to this!

Can you imagine those poor tuna cannery workers that could be making the equivalent of what a corporate attorney in American Samoa makes, but nooo... a corrupt Democrat had to stand in the way of the working man yet again!
