Some say it should be illegal to burn the American flag, because that amounts to a desecration. That is according to many Republican politicians. By that same logic, shouldn't the possession of a confederate flag be outlawed, since that ALSO amounts a desecration of the American flag? Our union is threatened by the burning of the American flag much as it is by the flying of the flag of our previous civil enemy. Isn't that hypocritical of proponents of a ban on American flag burning?
Flying a confederate flag is not the same as flying the State flag of Louisiana, for example. That's because the confederate flag was supposed to apply to all of the states, not just the south. Plus, the Southern states now fly the American flag, "old glory".Flying the confederate flag is also not the same as flying a foreign flag, or the foreign flag of an enemy we fought in a war. That is because Americans were fighting other Americans. It is therefore an internal civil matter.

So last week (17-21JAN) was the commissioning board for the AMEDD HPSP. The board keeps sending requests or "call outs" to my recruiter asking for more documents, which I keep dutifully providing. The recruiter tells me the 18 slots for which I am applying have not been filled and the good news is I have "already been boarded." However, she walks right up to the edge of saying that the document requests are just a formality. In other words, "you are commissioned, as long as you can provide these documents." So what the HECK is going on with my commission?

Me and my wife want children, but I'm worried that the planet might not be worth living on when they grow up. The doomsday clock is the closest it has ever been too midnight. Tell me it will happen or tell me something to relax my nerves.

It is true we live in a democracy, for the power is in the hands of the many and not the few.


Tis' true, but have you gotten a load of the many!

People attack companies for buying goods from Chinese sweatshops, but 10 cents an hour is better than nothing. If it's only enough to buy them a bowl of rice at the end of the day at least they can eat.

He has had ample opportunity to look at the case since the men were convicted last year. There is no need for these two to be sitting in prison while awaitin an appeal and a KNOWN smuggler is running free.

wow.. i've been reading a lot of questions on this u.k./ireland forum and have been shocked to see such broad hatred towards a country and it's people. You would never in a million years find a forum full of hatred towards the U.K. on any American based website. You take pot shots at our culture (or lack of as you seem to believe), our cinema (which you watch), our weight (i do believe you can find McDonalds in the U.K.) our Military (didn't seem to mind it much in the second world war), our government (as if yours is perfect? Tony Blair is less popular than Bush in your country), occupation of Iraq (you're also there), our Super Power abuse (I believe England knows a little something about this themselves.. ), our humor (mr. bean!) our vocaublary (we're not all rappers and hicks, just like you're not all chimney sweeps and butlers).... the list goes on and on. The truth is we could make as many insulting claims about the U.K.... (i won't mention them out of respect). On the contrary, America has a holiday in which the entire country celebrates the mere existance of Ireland.. if you're british you're bound to be bought a drink at any bar your accent is heard in. We're generally kind people, we have flaws... but we're excited to meet anyone (barring the french). I'd personally like to talk to and meet all of you, let's build bridges!! find me at myspace.com/saintmark or email me.

The new feeling of unity in opposition to Bush's war, I mean. It's great that people are able to reach across the aisle again--particularly when it's for something as important as stopping an unjust war.

It seems like most of the Supreme Court Justices that Republicans appoint do that.

Do you think the GOP has a chance to win the White House in '08 still? Do you think Bush is purposely trying to ruin it for the GOP?

That way when the day comes and they try to take our guns...you could say that it was stolen...but really you would have it.
