I am 18 years old, not a felon, no police record whatsoever. I enjoy shooting and would very much like to purchase a 1911 before I move out on my own. I read that in TN I can do this. Can I?

I dont want to like find a boyfriend or anything, I've had a few pen pals before and they have all lost touch. I would like to show support for the troops but don't have the slightest idea where to go. I just want to send letters and cards and such. I don't want to go through a dating site or anything. Any ideas? Thanks! :)

Does anyone else feel really sh--ty about this whole war? I feel almost like it's a sick way of having some kind of population control. I just read that 20 american soliders died today. the third deadlist day since all this started.I am just waiting to see if it's anyone I know. It gives me a pit in my stomach. Why are we sending more troops? Is there not enough room for them here? A lot of why is on my mind.

I agree based on the theory that Clinton and Obama will split the Democratic vote between 2 people and allowing a unified Republican party to win out. And I am also betting which ever Democrat ( Obama or Clinton ) loses the nomination will still have enough funds to continue campaigning.......especially Hillary.


So do you agree that making Democrats choose between a white woman and a black man will split them enough to let the Repubs win it in 08?

I know that people either hate her or like her, and I know it would be disastrous if she won for president but I want to know why people hate her so much. It's not that I have a preference, I am just curious.
Why do people hate/dislike that lady so much?

HOLD ON TO YOUR WALLET CONGRESS?

this is the ``Hold on to Your Wallet Congress'' because they have spent 100 hours getting into the taxpayers' wallet, and as we have heard them say, they have just gotten started.

We have had no regular order, no rules. They have made it easier to raise taxes by passing a semblance of PAYGO that makes spending permanent and tax relief temporary.

They don't want recorded votes because they don't want their constituents to know what they are voting on. They have passed a 9/11 bill that our private industry tells us is going to be billions of dollars in cost to the taxpayer. We have a minimum wage bill that is going to cost billions of dollars to small businesses and also brought about the Tunagate scandal.

Yes, you know, we are seeing it on every front, an energy bill that is going to raise taxes, not make gas more affordable, student loan legislation that doesn't do one single thing to help students get into college and stay in college.

Yes, hold on to your wallet, Mr. Speaker. They are coming for it.

Also, which choice do you consider Bush to be?


Candidate A - Has your best interest as well as the interest of those closest to you in mind. (despite its effect on the world or nation.)

Candidate B - Has the best interest of the nation in mind even though you or those closest to you will probably get screwed in the long one. (remember no presidential plan will benefit everyone.)

or,

Candidate C - Has the best interest of the world in mind, even though he may screw your country, as well as those you and those closest to you in the long run.

Why is it that none of you raging Bush haters can explain WHY you feel the way you do? I think your hatred is mearly an attention getting ploy.

The typical, predictible Bush-basher responses:

1. "He looks like a chimp."
Nice.

2. "He can't talk well/He's a bad public speaker"
So what.

3. "He lied about Iraq"
So you thought Saddam was a good guy?

4. "He made the world hate the US"
Only those who are guilty and misguided peons hate the US. Most of the world (Including the Persians!) loves America.

Intelligent answers only please.

China recently shot down a satelite in space....clear sending a message to the Americans. But do you know how they were able to get missle technology? If you dont, Bill Clinton gave it to them even though some washinton political figures tried to stop it. Dont be surprised if a missile hits your home and it is reported coming from China. So if Hillary Clinton becomes president, what is she going to give out more to Our potential enenies....Think with your brains not your emotions ...otherwise the freedom you so much like will not be free anymore.
Oh I almost forgot, if you are voting for Hillary because she is the first woman to run for president, then why not vote for Obama because he is the first black? If this is what you basedyour voting rights on, then your childrens generation is doomed for calamity. You have the light all around you so please stop leaving in darkness and accept the light. Before you vote in 2008 , pray to God to give you the best choice otherwise....

If a mother can't legally kill her newborn baby, 3 year old kid, 10 year old daughter, 20 year old son etc.... then why can she murder a baby before it's born? If it is a choice to kill your baby, then why can't you just kill your kid too? This is a messed up world... how can anybody see logic in "pro-choice" abortion is MURDER
