I have always been a good citizen, but recently I went to work for a guy to help run a business. I did not find out til it was to late that he was being watched by the local authorities for drug charges. I have now been thrown in the middle of it all and honestly had nothing to do with anything illegal. I have been reading up about the masons for some time now, well since my twins were born and I found out about all the good things the masons do and give. I have not been convicted of anything, but it is still in court. Will this keep me from being able to be a mason? I am against drugs, and now I am being looked upon as a possible drug dealer. I hope true people can honestly see the truth.

You know what they say: if God had been a Liberal, we wouldn't have had the Ten Commandments, we'd have had the Ten Suggestions.

Would you be willing to do what it takes to guarantee a position of power even if it meant sacrificing your self respect? Or is it just the saying anything goes motto! Had a co-worker imply I quote "if you have so much skill, why don’t you go suck the presidents d**k? Likely I declined and considered an A** whopping

Any thoughts and where do you stand? Or per say not stand on the issue lol

Colorado- You can't even smoke a cigar in a bar. They made Wal-Mart remove all guns from their shelves. You can't shoot real fireworks their like other states. Man, doesn't this make you want to move there?

Here's what really makes me mad. California
No smoking, even outside at beaches. Strict gun laws. But they allow immoral stuff. Gay marriage.

What is it with these people? They say it's wrong to own a gun and smoke in a bar. But it is okay to have gay marriages??

California started the ===== smoking ban. So, should be follow a screwed state like this?

They like to allow sissy things. But they are against guns. Oh, a gun scares the liberals. Oh, well that gun I bought at Wal-Mart might save my family in danger!

Oh, I don't like the smell of smoke. If it was 30 years ago. You would be on your a-- if you whined about smoking in a bar.

Where's the real old west?

My sister is a criminologist. She says that one of the problems in prison is that the Correctional officers have the same psychological makeup as the criminals.

Do you think this is true? What kind of person becomes a Correctional Officer?

I want to leave America and head for life else where, but before I do this, I want to work abroad and shop for a country that suits me before settling in. My main concern is making a living. I am currently qualified in the state of OH as a nurse's aid and a truck driver. I was wondering if my current US endorsements would be accepted in the country I want to work in, be transferable or would I have to go through the course all over again to get it and is it a big pain to get the work visas and how do I get them? I am planning to work in either the U.K or Ireland for awhile and eventually move to Switzerland and claiming citizenship there or go to Switzerland directly, live there awhile and then claim citizenship.

My reasons for this are my own and if you do not have any useful insight or claim me as unpatriatic as an exscuse to be rude, then I kindly ask of you not to answer. For those with good advice, thank you in advance.

Our careers and political ideals apparently intermingle and are influenced by each other. This is evident through polling. Demographics show certain occupations are associated closely with particular political viewpoints. It could be that our career shapes the political ideals or the political ideals predisposition us to certain occupations. For most people I believe it is a little of both. How do you see your occupation and political affiliation in relation to one another. Please provide your occupation and what side of the political spectrum you most closely side with.

Pentagon officials undercut the intelligence community in the run-up to the U.S. invasion of
Iraq by insisting in briefings to the White House that there was a clear relationship between
Saddam Hussein and al-Qaida, the Defense Department's inspector general said Friday.
Acting Inspector General Thomas F. Gimble told the
Senate Armed Services Committee that the office headed by former Pentagon policy chief Douglas J. Feith took "inappropriate" actions in advancing conclusions on al-Qaida connections not backed up by the nation's intelligence agencies.

Since all the terrorists are muslims, may be few a hundreds, but they bring bad name for the entire community of 150+ million. If the community takes the full responsibility officially, don't you think India will become a land of peace and harmony?

A person is tried with murder, and convicted of that crime, and then punished with the death penalty. Later, new evidence arises that clears that person of the crime, and proves their absolute innocence in this matter.

In this case, is the society that punished the individual with death, guilty of murder itself, and if so, what punishment should be inflicted on society to punish it for it's crime...?

Of course it's true, but it's not like CBS and NBC and all the big networks aren't reaaally liberal...you know? I'm not saying I am either of the two...I'm just wondering why people always seem frustrated that Fox is right wing.
