I was told the cops in my town have a quota for traffic tickets. Apparently it does not matter at all if these cops arrest "bad guys".but if they dont simply write traffic tickets they can be suspended with out pay from the department???? I would rather see the police looking for real criminals and drug dealers than writing "speeders". Are there no ETHICS anymore????

Why should the honest, educated Americans turning a decent living for themselves and their families support the lazy asses of our society?

Would it not be better to just sterilize the dregs of our society and leave them to their own devices?

After all, even in the days of yore, those who didn't pull their fair share starved to death.

Stop the welfare country of America.

I had a dream about this girl who met a met a 21 year old man on the internet when she was 15 and secretly fell in love with him. She was seduced into sending nude photos of herself so she could get sexual rewards over the phone. Months later after the girl had turned 16, she had looked back and realized what a terrible thing she had done...how it started off so small and turned into something that she had completly regreted. She lived in Ohio and he lived in California when they met, although the man was always overseas in Europe working with his business. This girl is seriously confused and panicking. She has fears that the man might possibly be doing something so terrible as to be selling these photos to many people for a profit. Pictures of a very beautifil young blonde are very desired by many sick men, so the thought is neccesary. What should a girl like this do? Should she tell someone she trusts and file a report or keep it to herself? How could she do this?

Eighty-eight percent of stateside Army National Guard units are "very poorly equipped," with less than half of what they need to respond to a domestic crisis, Lt. Gen. H. Steven Blum testified a few weeks ago to the independent Commission on the National Guard and Reserves.

Blum, chief of the National Guard Bureau, coordinates between the states and the Pentagon.

He said 45% of Air National Guard units lacked the necessary equipment to deploy.

Like a snap of the finger, I believe that by 2009 when George W.
Bu[ll]sh[itter] leaves, they will realize that the liberals were not wasting their time lying after all. Then they will feel silly.

But for now, these will be their logos:

Hi everyone,
I am thinking about joining the Army Reserves and want to know if it is worth joining. Do they actually give you money they promise at the time you sign up?

Project Bluebird was a mind control experimentation project approved by the CIA Director on Apr 20, 1950 on human subjects, by using LSD testing and other forms of hypnotic mind control. This was extensively documented and sanctioned by mainstream psychological and medical journals. As late as 1970s, US Army doctors were involved in LSD testing in children as young as 5 yrs old! Brain Electrodes were implanted in children as young as 11 yrs of age. In 1961, researchers at the Harvard Medical School, Massachusets General Hospital and Boston University School of Medicine gave radioactive iodine to 70 retarded children at Wrentham State School. At another school, MIT gave radioactive substance to children through their food. The consent form from parents stated the purpose of the experiments as "helping to improve the nutrition of our children". More recently, we have Guantanamo Bay.

With all this history, why does the world still consider the US as a Champion of Human Rights?

Do people really care about the state of affairs in our country, or in our world for that matter? WE are lied to on a grand scale and we just watch t.v. and keep acting like nothing is wrong. We're a population that is scared to question real situations... And then to add to it we don't act...and why can't "normal" citizens hold press confrences?
