Politics & Government - 22 February 2007

Bush was in what the National Guard or something like that... so he wouldn't get drafted... Do you think that it would be better to have a president who served his nation in the military actively than one who didn't... do you think it should be mandatory to carry out the main role as commander and cheif... i mean in the civilian world your boss can typically do your job, and possibly has done it before!

Yahoo Article:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070223/ap_on_re_as/asia_cheney

In the article, Cheney criticizes China for its shooting down of a satellite, saying that such moves are inconsistent with China's claim that it wants a peaceful rise. With what the US has done in the Middle East during the past few years, with the countless violent government overthrows by the US since WWII, with our absolutely huge military budget, Cheney has the audacity to criticize another country over this? As uncomfortable as it might make American citizens, who can seriously criticize China, or any country for that matter, for beefing up its military?

BestBuy owes me $127.79 and I can prove they owe me the money, what can I do?

I purchased a service plan for my laptop. My laptop needed a new battery. They can’t get the correct battery. Following BestBuy’s instructions I bought a new battery directly from HP, and faxed in the appropriate information to them for reimbursement. I was told I would have a check with in three weeks.

We are going on week 6 now, and every time I call they tell me they don't know if that department got my fax, or even if it is being worked on. I'm told the reimbursement department is separate and they do not take phone calls, and I can not talk to them.

-I have documentation for everything, I have when I called, and what I was told, but I don’t have all the names of who I spoke to.
-I am still in possession of their incorrect replacement, and will not send their battery back until I have a check.

I was just wondering ahead of time how you guys will spin Bush's retreat when it finally comes, and you all know it's coming right? The Brits pulling out was the latest sign of failure of the Bush plan.

I've noticed most of the Iraq war-hawks in Y.A......have zero interest in fighting in Iraq, much less joining the military. (As long as someone fights for them)

So will they actaully go fight in Iran and practice what they preach?

I live in part of a city where the homes are 90 plus years old. Most of the homeowners take care of their properties in my area with exemption of a few. The few who dont are mostly renters. Every Tuesday we have to put our garbage carts on the alley line, and every other Tuesday we have to put our recycling carts on the alley line next to the garbage cart for pick up. These so called renters usually dont put the garbage cart or the recycling cart out by the alley line every Tuesday. They usually just let the garbage pile up, and overflow. At times the alley looks like an absolute junkyard with garbage bags, and empty boxes laying in the alley. A few years ago, the city did property condition evaluations throughout the city. Some of the homeowners were disgruntled, but after awile i liked the idea. Since i keep our property maintained i would like to see others do the same. It makes abcentee landlords wake up. Should i call my alderman about the garbage problems?

I mean is it really that big of a deal? And for those of you in NYC area, should the republican club just shut up? I mean, we have so many other problems in American right now before illegal Mexicans. Just push that problem in the background and take care of what's important first. Like I dunno, how about health care and the whole war problem. I mean seriously, ok so they may cross the boarder and bring some cocaine, as if we don't already have that here. But is it such a big deal that you have to go rallying in the streets against it. I'm so tempted to call it racist, and it may be but it also may not be. Ok so my point is, big deal or not, what do you think?

and since the administration claims, and has always claimed, that the "War on Terror" would be a long and protracted war, but that the U.S. would win, how much longer do you think it will be? Bush claims that he "doesn't want the terrorists" to come to the shores of the United States so we are better off keeping it there. But, the War on Terror began as a result of the actions of Saudi Arabia. Anyway, The War on Terror could come under any number of "labels"...
I imagine as it progresses, it will be re-named under another president...It just appears that it will drag on and on and that it will never really end....What do you think?

Personally, I think illegal immigrants are breaking the law, and cause problems here using our health care system, schools, roads, and public assistance programs, which they do not pay into with the minimally paying jobs they get. I am, however, not a racist, I have absolutely nothing against people of any race who are here legally. A friend of mine disagrees with me and calls me anti-hispanic because I am not an advocate for an open border. What do you think?

I am working out for 4 hours at a time at the gym. 2 mile run and different weights abs, arms, etc... So i still have alot of loose skin and flab all over and have no idea how to get rid of it.

I'm now eating right and excercising and doing it the right way so how can i get rid of all that loose skin fast is there a cream of some sort? I dont ent to resort to surgery. If you suggest just continuing my workout how long would it take to loose it all?
any suggestions will be appreciated.

I don't care if she is or isn't pregnant. I know its not mine for a million reasons, so please don't ask me how I'm "sure" I am, my question has to do with legal stuff. If she emails me saying I knocked her up and is giving it up for adoption, do I have to even respond to her? Can this crazy chick say I am the "daddy" when she signs adoption papers without proof. Ty for answers.
