Tell her, you're just not worth it . We know you're in great danger and despite the fact that our country CAN help, our Congressmen and women have decided that you're just not worth it ? We'll be leaving soon and we wish you well, but we know that you'll be forced into a shuttered society , if you even live to see it . Same goes for your children, . . . . .they're just not worth it ?!?!?

Could you look into a Mother's eyes and tell her that ?

We bought our home and some land 4 years ago and our area and the 2000 acres around us and currently in the process of being rezoned, which we do not approve of. Any creative tips on fighting this? We have some public hearings coming up.

If Israel has so many allies how come it seems like the US must be the only ones to stand by them when they don't like certain Governments, now it is all of a sudden Pakistan. Maybe they don't like themselves (ISRAEL) and need to take it out on some one else, but I doubt it cause it seems like when Israel says jump the US just asks how high and does it. The leaders of the US should tell them to deal with their problems and leave us out of them. It is time that the US quit doing the dirty work for this shamed state.

Is it just the medium letting them come out with these outlandishly hateful, anti-gay, anti-immigrant, liberals are Satanists etc. etc. postings that they normally wouldn't verbalize in real life? Or is it more demographics - are there more higher income, extremely conservative individuals who have access to the internet than your more moderate and liberal constituencies? Or are the hate-preachers just more vocal?

When I catch a drunk driver, time and time again the offender tells me that their Lawyer advised them not to do any Field Sobriety Test, Do not give a sample of their breath or blood, and invoke your rights and remain silent.

Now I know that the Lawyers are suppose to be on the clients side and not the Officers side when it comes down to trial, but would it not be better for everyone, Client, Officer, Public, if the Lawyer told the client "Don't Drink & Drive?"

The huge surge in black immigration to the UK from the West Indies in the 1950s was of hard-working Christians of low education. They got fairly menial jobs and could only afford to live in the poorer areas of our cities.

The sudden influx of poor people, identifiable by their skin colour, caused resentment; the black community was marginalized. Their children went to inner-city schools and got failed to achieve. They became increasingly resentful of their perceived discrimination and saw authority figures, particularly the police, as their enemies. In the early 1970s we had a lot of disenchanted young black youths who saw that their only way of achieving any sort of wealth was through crime. Virtually all muggings in London at one time were by black teenagers.

Now crack cocaine offers new opportunities. The proceeds are huge and the competition is stiff and there are vast numbers of firearms in circulation from the former Soviet Union.

It’s all come home to roost.

When did these words come into the dictionary? 1982 I believe they became serious thinking words. Which is the first country to categorize people into this category to get an undue and unfair advantage to further indulge into aggression.

Just a quick question. I was reading AR 612-201 paragraph 3-17, table 3-5, step 4 "..... Only students in training over 20 weeks may relocate family, HHgs, and POV."

I'm currently stationed in germany as a 68J and will be reclassing to 68k next year. I just want to make sure that when I pcs from germany I can take my family, HHG's, and POV with me to my training location. this is the impression I got from this regulation, and just wanted to verify the accuracy of my assumption. BTW the class is 52 weeks long.

I have read in the Sunday Times that the Northern Ireland secretary Peter Hain was once charged with bank robbery and later cleared.

The article suggests that this may have been politically motivated by the then Aparthaid regiem in South Africa and ignored by the government of the day. If this is true and the people who were in government then are still alive, should they be prosecuted?
