How much private industry is there? How much is personal freedom restricted? How much political change has there been in recent years since Hong Kong returned to Chinese control?

People bash him constantly, and it bugs me. He made a mistake he admits it, and they won't let it go. Iraq was not all his fault. Jerks like Paul Wolfowitz and Donald Rumsfeld were the main reason why we went there. He's not an idiot. He went to Yale for God's sake. I tell people they should be President, and I tell them they wouldn't be a better President than our current one. I can't believe people say he killed those 3,000 Americans in Iraq when terrorists did. He's not our worst President. Franklin Pierce and William Taft are statistically the worst Presidents. People who say he's the worst President are just making opinions, and not going by the facts. He did not cause 9/11. Muslim extremists did. He's not destroyed the economy, but rather helped it. Then people like Cindy Sheehan meet with our enemies, and bug him constantly. Those people who show no respect abuse their power of free sppech, and should be sent to a Communist country for a day, to see how people should respect the

How long will it be before FBI sends in the assassins to take out a man who supposedly didn't pay his taxes. I think it's horse piss, our government makes laws as it goes along. FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW THE INCOME TAX LAW IS ILLEGAL. Ask any one to show you the income tax law, there is not one. My self I support him in his effort against this injustice. As more evidence came out, we now know that Army Rangers took out the Davidians. Could it happen again, I'm sure it will.

I'm in a situation, Im a current Marine Corps DEP. I ship out July 9th 2007. I'm a senior in hight school the only problem is that im having some trouble in school and im on the brink of not graduating this summer. My recruiter said i could extend my ship out date to August since that's when i went down to MEPS and took the oath. I was just wondering what would happen if i didn't graduate this year and had to go into next a little bit to graduate what the penalties would be. I still want to go in the Corps and i just want to know if i could still get in and what the penalities would be. Thanks

Other people have asked this and had answers, but the answers picked "best" were both different.

For example, could Clinton run for Vice President since he's had two elected terms? If the Pres. died, would he move up to the President's position, or would someone else have to? Or could he even run as Vice?

When you answer, please add a link or something showing where you got your answer, not just from your head. And please don't add political partisanship. Clinton was just an example. Thanks.

The pro Advocate's want to site rules, why are illegal aliens not required to obey any rules instead they shower them with, oh they just want a better life nevermind those silly rules. Though pro advocate's siting of rules--- what about the rules illegal aliens have to follow like a process to go through if they want come here ? What about those rules ?Where is the advocate's siting of rules when illegal aliens get to lie,get to steal,get free medical care,document fraud and food stamps ? It was proven on CNN in Oklahoma , when the state admitted to the fact they do give food stamps and welfare to illegal aliens. Only the pro advocate's seem to be saying illegal aliens are not require to follow any rules = they just want a better life. Do the pro advocate's have double standards much like Mexico does ? Aren't they sounding a lot like Mexico these day's ?

When:
-No one in Iran likes Ahmadinejad
-The US could turn them into a parking lot in minutes
-Iran knows we have more allies than they do
-Iran will be invaded before they have nuclear weapons, if they did want to get them
-Arabs even admit that we're stronger than them, and they have admitted they are the weak force
-Saudi Arabia can ruin Iran by doing what they did today; lowering gas prices
-A WWIII scenario would be the United States, Great Britain, Canada, Italy, Germany, Spain, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Poland, Turkey, Netherlans, Portugal, Kuwait, Ethiopia, Dominican Republican, Czeck Republic, Latvia, Slovakia, Hugary, Australia, Bulgaria, and France..well maybe. These countries combined have an amount of more than 1 billion people now.

And Iran would be fighting with; Syria (320,000 people), Venezuela (100,000 people), and possibly North Korea (1.08 million people). So who do you think would win? We would outnimber them bigtime.

Why should the Whitehouse micro-manage the war on terror and set military objects? What have we trained all our generals to do? Shouldn't the plan be coming from the military?
Have you ever seen the mayor of a city at a fire directing firefighters, or directing police at the scene of a crime?

Why do the australians have an army full of kid on soldiers, when it is well known and part of commonwealth diplomacy that britain (australias daddy) will protect them if they ever went to war.
The australian army is has one of the weakest navy, land force and airforces in the world.

Australians can sleep well at night knowing britain does not, britain protects australia as it is incapable of protectin itself.

My wife received a letter in the mail today from someone she went to grade school with. She was not good friends with him or anything, but he is currently in jail for murdering his girlfriend's child! He got our address from an acquaintance of my wife, someone also from school, but she doesnt talk to this person really anymore. Anyway, this guy said he might be getting out in the summer if his appeal goes well, and wants my wife to write him back to let him know we got the letter ok. His mom just died, so he has no family. I am VERY upset that he got our address from this other person, we never authorized it, and now I have to worry about the safety of my wife and our son? I live in an apartment, so its not really that difficult to move if we have to, but what should I do? Should she just ignore his letter and let him think it was a wrong address? Should she write him and tell him that were moving all around and not sure where we're going to be? I dont know what to do! HELP!!!

Alright so my parents are education orienated (sp). They made me take advanced classes through high school that I would pull a C+ or B- in, I was always a year or sometimes even 2 years ahead of everybody class wise. Im not the smartest guy around though, and I cant even imagine another 4 years of school after high school.

Ive talked to my counselar at school (ex-Marine), an Army Recruiter, and a Marine Recruiter. I WANT to enlist in the Marines and get an associates degree in Criminal Justice (I already have 12 of the 60 credits I need) while Im enlisted, but have no idea how to break it to my parents.

Im in good shape and can easily do the IST at the recruiting office and have good ASVAB scores, I want to enlist as Machine Gunner. Im sure you know the kind of parents Im talking about; all pro-college and my mom is totally anti-me going to the Military but my dad always supported ROTC or the Academies. But I WANT to enlist and get an associates degree from there, REALISICALLY,

My employer informed me that once I have logged 1250 hours for the past 12 month period, that I will begin accumulating FMLA time again. For example, I called off on FMLA on 02/17/2006 and they said as of 02/17/2007 I would get 8 hours back. Then the anniversary of my next FMLA related calloff I would get another 8 hours back. I understood FMLA that once I logged 1250 hours for the previous 12 months that the 12 week allotment started over again. So which is it? Thanks!
