Today's military is much different than it was 50 years ago. Today it seems like more and more soldiers are being punished for following orders. What are your views on this?

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his ignorance. It is an area which we call "The Twilight Zone".

His Energy progam was a farce as well as his idea to "reform" the Medicare Program - that fizzled along with his "revamping" of the Social Security program - and finally his Farce of a War in Iraq - against a country that was not even a threat to this country which has placed more of our troops in harms way with the Iraqi Civil War there!

Is this another classic liberal hypocrisy? Telling us how to live our lives and the sky is falling, rather than minding their own business? Is the Global Warming "threat" a cash cow for his run at the White House?

My friend says that he doesn’t see anything wrong or bad or anything negative about Communism and that it’s no worse than democracy. In fact he says he wouldn’t mind living in a Communist country. And I relised that I can’t think of anything to prove him wrong.

I have real bad hearing loss. I worked for fifty years in industry in eastern Ontario. I needed hearing aids repaired. The company said that the compension board may get me the new digital hearing aids. Well I am 70 years old and I have waited for close to 7 months. Should I just give up or keep persueing it?

The Insurgents fight for free. They do not get a paycheck every two weeks. They fight for their honor where as the USA military fight only if they get paid. If the USA Government stopped the military pay the troops would quit fighting. The USA military does not care about honor. The USA military cares only about that pay check. The insurgents "honor" will carry them to victory.

I was seperated from the army under chapter 14 general with honarable conditions for failing a urinalysis. I probably would have been retained as i requested during my article 15 hearing but while on extra duty i broke restriction and left base for a night. I was subsequently court martialed for disobeying a direct order and my discharge was carried through. On my dd 214 i have a re code 3. I was also made to sign papers during my court martial ,one which said i was inelligble to reenlist for 2 years. Its been one year and i really want to rejoin. what are my options and can i ??

I just found out the doctor I work for has been doing this for the past few weeks. Patients personal information, such as social security numbers, credit card numbers -- even debit card numbers are being sent to his native country for data entry.

It's not just business -- there are plenty of people here in Az. who need jobs...this guy is doing it to save MONEY...but people's personal information is being released....not for consulations, not for a 2nd opinion...it has NOTHING to do with medicine -- someone in another country is receiving their personal information....this might be your Dr. I'm writing about....Does that make a difference? Does it bother anyone else?

Maybe I'm being overly cautious but this just FEELS wrong!!!!

In december, I purchased something on ebay for a very large sum of money from someone located in the UK through paypal. It had a delayed shipping time for up to 4 months. Just recently, I noticed that his ebay account is not longer active. What can I do? I already filed a dispute with paypal, but it wasnt escalated to a claim, because I was still waiting for the items to arrive, and because it wasnt raised to a claim, I dont know what I can do to get any money back.
Are there any government agencies like interpol or the fbi that can help me? Since he was regestered with ebay and paypal, is there anything that those companies can do?
I would VERY much appreciate ANY advice from any lawyers or anyone that knows someone that can help me. I am only 17 and the paypal and ebay accounts are under my moms name.
I have all of the frauder's information, but I am not sure if it is legitimate. Is there anyway to cross check it with ebay or paypal, since he must have had credit cards or bank acount
