With countries like Iran trying to develop nuclear weapons, what makes us in the west holier than though when we turned our eyes away from Isreals weapons programme.

How can war be declared on the word, (terrorism!) then use terrorism to defeat terrorism? If all sides use terrorism, doesn’t some version of terrorism eventually have to prevail?

I seek the internet community's feedback on this statement listed in the employment act. (9) This section shall not apply to employees engaged in the fire services or in work which by its nature involves long hours of inactive or stand-by employment.
Your feedback is required on the jobs that fit this statement. The authorities have no clue and says that it does not fit a watchman or a security guard. This I disagree, Can the community shed some light on this. The authorities say it covers airline crew. I believe they are unsure and will not dwell in this as they have no clue as to what it means? I am certain that many are not well verse in the act at all. Care to comment?

I'm not a conspiracy theorists, and before I saw this movie I didn't think 9/11 was an inside job. Plz watch this video its 1hr 30mins long so if you can keep your attention to it that long it would be great. But, after you watch it plz answer this question, do you still think the gov. didn't have something to do with it?

I'm a US citizen married to a Thai citizen.
I was born in USA and moved to Thailand for about 20 years.

I'm 24 years old and planning to study Master's in USA this August.

The problems are
1) I have no money to support my wife yet (But I will have had a domicile in August because the university has accepted me.)
2) My parents have the money to support both me and her, but they live in Thailand. (We moved back to Thailand for 20 years, so my parents are not premanent residences anymore.)

This prevents us from filing the affidavit of support (I-864) which requires a sponsor to have enough money and be a
1) US citizen who has a domicile in USA or
2) Legal permanent residence who has a domicile in USA

My cousin works in a research lab in USA and she can arrange a job interview for my wife.

So if I don't file an I-130 yet, can my wife apply for an employment visa?

Is there any solution to this affidavit problem?

This is what I'd really like to do. Go into the Coast Guard for 2 years active duty. After active duty with the coast guard, instead of being on inactive duty for 6 years, I want to transfer straight to the Air force and serve 2 or maybe 4 years active duty, then proceed with the 4 years inactive with the air force. Has anyone heard of people doing this? Is it possible (allowable)? Are there any rules forbidding me from doing this?

I understand that I may have to do basic training twice. Will I get a dishonerable discharge from the Coast Guard if I try to transfer to the Air Force right after active duty with the Coast Guard? Will I owe them any money?

My main question is still....is this route possible for me to take or is it against military law?

You have been Bulls--ted too about 9-11, why is it that you can't see the truth. There is a very good case that the towers were PULLED. That means they were demolished by inside help, tower 7 was also PULLED for what reasons. When are you going to stand up to your Government. 9-11 changed the lives of around 70% of the people around the globe. Either the American public are fools or they just like WAR.
Your government had a hand in 9-11 and most of you seem to let them get away with it. SHAME on YOU that say nothing or have swollowed the Bullsh--.
I used to think the USA was a great Nation, Now I think your a pack of scared fools.
HOME OF THE FREE Land of the BRAVE. What a load of rubbish.

Looking forward to being slamed by the war Mongrols

Scrapbooking tells a story and has actual meaning for peoples lives. Americans are tired of see paint blobs on a canvas thats called art!! Art is not what they have in places like the Metropolitan Museum of art. Its what a bunch of people who cant create anything that actually resembles anything specifically human feelings and emotions. "This peice makes me feel happy" and its a smudge of yellow on a black canvas.

My qeustin is why do U.S Native Americans attempt to distance themselves from Mexicans and Mexican Native Americans?

The answer is still the same, I see no difference in the 2 full blooded Native Americans from Mexico and the U.S, with the Mexicans Mestizos carrying half of the bloodline.

Both groups lifestyles were practically identical with the exeption of some Mexican Native Americans building pyramids. Look at their ceremonial clothing and the things they traded, the foods they ate.

look at this link and tell me otherwise, and tell the Apaches or Navajos and Yaquis that they are Mexican or American, you cant because they were the Native Americans from Mexico and the U.S, and their neighboors to the south and north were no diffrent from them.

I got searched and frisked and all after police saw my friend using and having marijuana in my car while being parked at a gas station. He found the marijuana and told us that he would let us go if in a couple days we call them and create a set up or snitch on someone. He gave us his card with his name and all. Is this legal? And should we do it? And if not, what could he do to us?

Prisons can be considered to be a workplace. If smoking is banned in prisons will this be an infringement of the human rights of convicts?
How do their rights stack up against the rights of ordinary hard working people who happen to smoke?

WASHINGTON - Strained by the demands of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, there is a significant risk that the U.S. military won't be able to quickly and fully respond to yet another crisis, ( Like Korea and Iran) according to a new report to Congress.

The assessment, done by the nation's top military officer, Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, represents a worsening from a year ago, when that risk was rated as moderate.

The report is classified, but on Monday senior defense officials, speaking on condition on anonymity, confirmed the decline in overall military readiness. The USA can not handle anymore wars. The USA, Sad to say, has reached the limits of readiness.
