My 2 1/2 year old was just approved to get benefits. What can the money be used for? What's the rules concerning this? Like can we buy him a bed, tv etc.. Or does it just have to be food, diapers etc?? Anyone know? Serious answers only please.

My husband is currently out in the field. We have two children, twins who are 2 1/2 years old. He has been to Iraq once but has been home (when not in field or schooling) since the twins were 8 months old. Lately when he has to do a field rotation, or go to some sort of schooling, hes been upset. He constantly asks me how the kids do, are they crying for him, are they asking for him. The truth is the ask 24/7 for him and cry the first few days hes gone. The next few months he will be gone 2 weeks gone, 2 weeks home, until march and that is when our next baby is due then its rumored his unit will be going to Iraq in the summer. My question is, would you tell your husband the truth about the kids missing him, me missing him ect....or say we are all doing ok? How much is to much to tell him?

Caucasian is not going to be the majority forever. If whites only elect whites, what'd be the expected result when caucasian is a minority? Wouldn't it be good to elect a minority ASAP, if there's a good choice, rather than wait 'til it's inevitable?


Isn't it likely whites could keep good standing in society by not clinging to power?


If you believe in Barack Obama, wouldn't it be better to elect him in '08 than to wait 'til he gets more experience? What experience does he need? Experience in the corrosive culture of Washington?


How did that experience help John Kerry as a candidate? Regardless of how you felt about Kerry, wasn't he more charismatic, more convincing in his beliefs about how to change D.C., before spending decades getting accustomed to the practices he wanted to change? Ever seen Kerry's speech on the Senate floor about $100 pens?


How does the '80s Kerry compare with the '04 Kerry? Better or worse? Any reason it would be different with Obama?

I too agree that people should not enter or stay in any country illegally ( we here Canada have several people left over from dodging the Vietnam war for craps sake...like get out already..)

however , several people in this immigration category are uneducated racist bigots...in particular, seals_is_back, killemall?..and a few others...it is rather sickening...these people just spew rhetoric.. (just my opinion...)..especially seals_is_back..pretty sure wherebver she is back from, she should have stayed there..

The terrorists biggest solace is in the words of the Democrats. The Democrats and liberals preach that we are losing.

I think it's some sort of exercise that they do in Marine Corps training, but I'm not sure. If it is, how do you do one? What's the purpose, and what muscles does it exercise?

America exists for ITs people. No were in constitution does it say, all the world may invade at will, take jobs you cant get in your country. Make more money then you can in your country. Make a better life here in the US, we dont owe it to ANYBODY. We as Americans have a duty and a right to defend our way of life, not assimalate to anyone who dares invade our space. We have no obligation to feed and clothe and support the rest of the worlds poor. None. The invaders MUST stop sponging of us and look inside yourselves to take back your poor country like we did over 230 years ago. We did.now you stop pointing fingers at us racists and make your country like ours!

O.k is it me or everytime I turn on the news I am being told that a Blank amount of U.S soldiers have died from a plane/helicoptoer crash? I can bet there has been more troops dying from crashes then ground soldiers.When the media says plane crashes do they mean it's been shot down? am I missing something?

Me and other people at my school are going to do a sit-in to protest the war. I was wondering what to do during the sit in besides making posters and such. i would appreciate ideas becuase we want to be taken seriously by others and not just thought of as kids who just want to get out of class.
P.S Some people are afraid of getting expelled. I would like to know if the pricipal could expel us for this.
