I do, this is NOT a healthy balanced two way street of trade, commerce and immigration. it is but a ONE WAY invasion/colonization of the US.

I've heard that if the gunpowder get's wet, it won't ignite. However, most bullets seem to have a very air tight seal, so it wouldn't seem that being immersed in water would negatively affect it's ability to fire. It also seems that the gun itself wouldn't be affected, because it's just a series of small moving parts. If you didn't take the gun apart, dry and oil each piece, it would get rusty and probably jam in the future, but if the gun was in the water, it seems like you could just pick it up out of the water, and it would be able to fire, no problem.
I'm not an expert with guns, but I did go deer and pheasant hunting when I was younger, and got training with a shotgun and .38 when I was in the Navy. My friends are mostly in the same boat, and they all say that a gun would "not" fire after it's been in the water. I would like to hear from an expert about this. It won't serve any practical application for me, I just see it happen in the movies all the time. Thanks

The media certainly would have found everything right with the war and would have ignored the wrongs...

My boyfriend got arrested by a NYPD officer because he was riding his bike on the sidewalk. Despite the fact that he was riding at a very slow pace (not quicker than the average pedestrian), he was summoned. On the pink sheet he was given, a date of appearance is mentionned. I think that he has to show up at that precise date. But he understood that he had to show up anytime between now and the date of appearance. What is the right interpretation?

Just at Parrkland and JPS in Fort Worth alone we are overloaded with illegals having babies, they all get OB for free and then they are put on Medicaid. The numbers are three times that for the entire Metroplex. Who is going to pay for all this and do you believe the money will dry up, then God help us all

what about Russians? They come here legally most the time because our government gives them vouchers for cars, houses, free food, medical care, schooling. In college we did a survey and more than half the students in my class were Russians. All of them said the government was paying for them to go to school. I work next to a Salvation Army and 75% of the people that go in there are Russian. I have nothing against Russians but I never see anyone on here complaining. Yes some of them do come here illegally too.

Over the weekend, I posed a question re Bush's 'surge 'and what I believed to be its "two-fold purpose". Many disagreed.
But it looks as though I was right. The 'surge' is merely a smokescreen for the US's ultimate plan.

"Iran target of US Gulf military moves, Gates says"

Increased military activity in the Gulf is aimed at Iran's "very negative" behaviour, the Bush administration said today.
The defence secretary, Robert Gates, told reporters that the decision to deploy a Patriot missile battalion and a second aircraft carrier to the Gulf in conjunction with a "surge" of troops in Iraq was designed to show Iran that the US was not "overcommitted" in Iraq.His remarks followed tough comments on Iran at the weekend from other senior US officials. Such remarks have fueled speculation that the US is softening up US public for possible action against Tehran. It is also a repudiation of one of key recommendations of Iraq Study Group....(see cont'd)

I'd like to hear from a Vietnam Vet's relative or someone that knows one to see whether this is true or not. My dad's a Vietnam War Vet and he told me that all the troops he was with were spat on. He was honorably discharged in 1968. I need some back-up support here because some f'd up lunatic is trying to say my dad's lying (although he's not).

ok...so i was going to a friends party where i was going to be the DD and when we got there somebody was grabbing a lot of alcohol (jack, smirnoff, jim bean, malibu, etc.) so i grabbed a bag of the jack for him and brought it in. I didnt see anyone upstairs so i went to the basement where two deputies had everyone sitting in a group. My parents had to come and get me but i never recieved a ticket. One of my friends said later that i would get something in the mail with a court date for me. I thought they had to tell you if you were being charged at the time you were there. Im still a minor so im not freaking out too bad.

Do you ever think the Goverment is hiding something from the Americas by not studying nothing about him?

Terrorist use gorilla tactics Pancho use real head on strategies in fact I believe him to be a better General than George Washington why you ask It's because Pancho didn't hold anything back he killed with a better cause than washington.

Although to please all you Angry Gringos George Washington was an rich educated slave owning man who probably never had a single lice in his life, with a well educated and military background.

In the other Hand Pancho was a poor uneducated field worker "slave in so many points" who killed his boss after because the boss raped Panco's his sister and killed his mother.

I ordered a Sony Vaio and sent in the $200 rebate properly. It is now over 6 months later. The first time I called they said the checks were delayed and it was just sent. The second time I called a few weeks later I was told the same thing. I asked what should I do if it does not come since I was already told this? He said "It is on its way" and would not answer.
It is several weeks later now and it never came. (not that I am suprised)
I have called several time but have been on hold for over 20 minutes each time before giving up to try to pursue this further.
I would like Sony to know about this also. I am willing to put some time into this but I do not know how to handle this.
I am so upset about being scammed. This has happened to me with rebates but in different ways in the past.
The rebate company is OnRebate.com
When I signed the rebate I supect they had some legalise to really get me if I were to file a lawsuit?
What do I do?
Thanks

--discriminate in a new way?--Are they wanting a black candidate for President,(like Obama)so much, that they are overlooking Oriental,East Indian,Hispanic, or other qualified politicians.

Is our "political correctness" not as correct as we're trying to pretend?

As a former member of the military and a present DOD contractor I am constantly hearing that the UCMJ not the US constitution is the ultimate authority for service members. I understand that the UCMJ is the law by which the military governs its members but doesnt the UCMJ still have to adhere to constitutional principles? Shouldnt the UCMJ be held to the same constitutional scrutiny that state laws do under article III? What is the precedent by which the military can be denied the constitutional principles that they are defending? Is it actually possible to essentially sign away your constitutional rights? Any help would be appreciated...
