From what I understand Americorp is like a domestic peace corp, that works at home. Just out of curiosity, is there a section anywhere in the bylaws of Americorp that states that those who serve can be upgraded to another division and/or sent to serve during times of war (not necessarily on US soil)?

Hi,

I went to court facing felony charges of a bounced check. Due to my completely clean record, my public defender worked out a deal with the prosecution that the 12 month sentence would be dropped assuming i pay 627 dollars in damages to my ex-landlord who i accidentally bounced the check to. They are also going to drop it to a misdemeanor so it can go off my record after a few years. However, while i had originally agreed to the payment date of Feb 14th, i miscalculated my pay dates from work, and i wont be getting another check until a few days after that court date, so i wont have the money in time. Do most courts work with the payee to extend the alloted time in situations like this? im assuming they just want me to pay and have it over with, so they will grant me the extra time no problem... but i wanna be positive. I dont have family to get money from, but if i know i HAVE to have the money then, i can try working up something possibly.. anyone know? thanks for any help...

Is Iraq a "bad democracy?" Do you know what a bad democracy is, as opposed to a good democracy? Oh, sorry, you thought that all democracies were good. Right? Well, let me suggest to you that Lebanon is an example of democracy, ruled by its elected leaders, Hamas. Is that country a good democracy, or a bad one?
As a democracy they hate the United States and sponsor terrorism
against their neighbors (Israel, for example). So there is such a thing as a bad democracy, i.e., one in which the radical elements have seized control by popular vote and are running amok with few
if any of the attributes of a "good democracy" which promotes freedom, equality, and living in peace with its neighbors. So is IRAQ a "bad democracy?" Are we in the process of seeing Iraq turn into another problem just like the palestinians in Lebanon?

Let them earn the room and board and 3 meals a day. Get them on a jet and when they arrive, give them all guns and tell them to go have fun. That would save the military some money. It would also help the over crowding in our prisons. Don't get me wrong, I am very grateful for anyone son or daughter who is fighting for this country. My nephew fought there and I had a good friend who lost her oldest son there in november. ..But enough is enough!!!

Bush has said several times the occupation isn't forever. So, and I base this on an earlier question, when would you end the occupation? Do you have a benchmark or trigger? Why that particular metric?

For those of you eligible and supporters of Bush and the Iraq war, what is your reasoning for not joining the military? I served in the first Gulf War. I am 38 and against the war. Now you know where I stand on this, I would like to know why you choose not to serve if you believe we are doing the right thing in Iraq. I am not addressing this to current mlitary personnel. I am also not addressing the Afghanastan theater. Legitimate answers please.

I had 2 out of 4 answers by what I assummed were conservatives. One was a good answer and appreciated. One was simply hilarious. Please read his answer:


I am supportive of my gov't, which has us at war whether I agree with it completely or not. I appreciate your service in the past for the US, but other than that, it doesn't matter what your opinion is. I don't need to sign up and fight because I want to do other things.

Priceless, huh? Let's try this question again.

We keep hearing that Castro is improving, and, in fact, on the road to recovery.

Is this true, or is this a bunch of lies for some reason.

His condition was described as grave only a few months ago. Now we see him standing, talking to Hugo Chavez.

One possibility that has been suggested is that the illness is being used as a publicity stunt, so that he can make some sort of triumpant return. Or, perhaps he is near death but those in power in Cuba want to have total control over the release of information.

It was reported that the CIA thought Castro was terminally ill. How often are they wrong in their intelligence information?

So what do you think is the truth about Castro's status? Is he dying? Or will be be back to lead Cuba again?

I posted a question about what you would spend $480 million dollars on (war cost) & was amazed at how many people think war actually is a positive thing to spend money on. I'm not a pacifist - I mean, kick their *** if they attack - but it's an old strategy and not ideal.

But maybe I'm wrong. So I thought, if war/violence can bring about peace in the world (it hasn't for 000's of years but hey), maybe we should start beating our kids? Employing bullies at school to do it whilst we work? I know WE stopped doing that for a reason (why was it again?) but it might be a good thing if they grow up to be peaceful. Thoughts?
