Correct me if I am wrong, but it’s NOT okay to put someone to death that killed (and some times worse) another person, but it is okay to kill a really really young person.

If I was recently promoted to the same rank as another individual from my unit (however, he wa promoted before me), am I required to follow his orders?
If so, would my obligation to obey these orders be equivalent to my obligation to follow orders issued by senior officers? Or, is his "jurisdiction" over me limited?
If I am not required to obey his orders, when does his seniority (due to time of promotion) come into play? Will I ever HAVE to sit second-chair to him or follow his orders (if we remain the same rank)?

Also, if at all possible, please include references to official military documents (ie-UCMJ).
I would like to be able to re-state specific articles within these documents the next time I approach this individual on the matter (that way, I can seem as though I know what I am saying -and that I am not simply making it all up).

Thanks!

At my arraignment I was told that misdemeanor charges were being brought against me by the State of Oklahoma. The date of my hearing was set two weeks from then. I was to remain in jail if I could not pay a $5000 bail. Being indigent at the time, I phoned a bail bondsman. At my hearing I was informed that the State was bringing felony charges against me. When I requested public defense the presiding judge told me that I was not eligible, due to the fact that I had called a bondsman. Where's my 6th amendement? '§22-1355.6. Responsibility of System to indigent defendant.'... 'The Indigent Defense System shall have the responsibility of defending all indigents, as determined in accordance with the provisions of the Indigent Defense Act in all capital and felony cases and in all misdemeanor and traffic cases punishable by incarceration.' Oklahoma Constitution statutes. Once again, why am I not allowed a public defender?

and I have read the 911 Commission Report.

Why do documentaries like "Loose Change" make perfect logical sense?

I find it very curious that there have been no coalition fatalities on 3 out of the past 4 days.

Also, total fatalities for the past 10 days (22) are less than half that of the 10 days before (51).

What is going on?

Are the insurgents finally running out of steam or is this just the calm before the gathering storm?

Seriously, how is it possible? Are there some people who turn off their brains when they turn off FOX news? I am continuously amazed that there are people in the United States who think that we are in Iraq to defend ourselves from terrorists.

and think of yourselves as Americans first?

Look at voting records of our leaders, look at obvious political pandering for the next election cycle. Wake up and quit saying,"Democrat is better, Republican is better". It's ridiculous. Turn off the T.V., go outside and look around. This country is in trouble. We need to vote issues, we need a great leader and we don't have one as of yet.

liberal mediums on radio and tv need subsidies: PBS, NPR, Air America (which went bankrupt)?

How come liberals do not understand that they are in fact out of touch with the average American?

As for conservatives,

Rush Limbaugh #1
Hannity #2
Beck #3
Savage
Boortz (claims he is a libertarian, but has many conservative positions)
and the list goes on and on

It sure seems that the conservatives are the ones that people choose when they have a choice. It also seems that liberals cannot survive in the free market. Is this why they want the Fairness Doctrine?

Heres the question, we have all seen the questions asking if Bush or war supporters should join the military themselves.

So my question is, should abortion supporters have to go perform abortions themselves? If you support the policy, shouldn't you be willing to go carry it out ?

I mean really. If a woman wants her own kid dead, that's fine by me. Matter of fact, if a woman wants her ADULT kid dead, that's fine by me too. Parents give us life, and it's their unconditional right to take that away if they feel we no longer deserve it.

I feel everything is contradictory because some people (or websites) say that it is required to show a copy of the ticket flight or anything like that, others say that it is not, and other websites definitely don't say anything. I checked the Chinese embassy webpage and it says nothing about it, it doesn't even mention it.
So, what's going on? is it required yes or not? If you have travelled to China as a tourist or you work at the Chinese embassy please answer my question. Thank u
