All I want to do is join the air force as a military doctor. All I wanted to do was do all the cool stuff like the marines. Do fast roping and spy rigging of a helicopter, climb over wall, learn to snipe, learn military tactics such as "slicing the pie" and many more.

but now I hear, according to the Geneva Convention, medical personals can only carry a 9mm pistol and ONLY SHOOT when their life or their patient's life is in danger.

This is so lame, I can't even get my first kill......wtf?

The jingoist neocon's kneejerk excuse for the silly War on Terror is "It's better to fight 'em over there than over here!" But where would you rather fight the terrorists: on their turf, where they are familiar with the terrain, or here in the streets of America where we have the home field advantage?

The United States Supreme Court yesterday decided not to review a case challenging the constitutionality of a New York City public school policy that expressly permits the display of the Jewish menorah and Islamic star and crescent during their respective religious holidays, but completely bans the display of Nativity scenes during Christmas.

The constitutional challenge was brought by the Thomas More Law Center, a national, public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on behalf of Andrea Skoros and her two minor children, devout Roman Catholics, who attend the New York City's schools. The lawsuit was filed only after William Donohue, president of the Catholic League, made several unsuccessful attempts to convince school officials to allow Nativity displays alongside the other religious symbols.

The Supreme Court considered the Law Center's petition for review at seven different conferences. At the end of the day, however, by deciding not to review the case the Court passed on the opportunity to clarify its much maligned Establishment Clause jurisprudence. More fundamentally, the Court allowed to stand an anti-Christian policy that adversely affects over one million students enrolled in the Nation's largest public school system, which has 1,200 public elementary and secondary schools.

In the petition, the Law Center asked the Supreme Court to review a February 2006 decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, in which a sharply divided panel upheld the constitutionally of the City's Nativity ban. The Circuit Court held that this policy of permitting Jewish and Islamic religious symbols but banning Christian religious symbols was permissible in part because it achieved a valid "pedagogical endeavor" by "us[ing] children's natural excitement about various year-end holidays to teach the lesson of pluralism by showing children the rich cultural diversity of the city in which they live and by encouraging them to show tolerance and respect for traditions other than their own."

Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel for the Law Center, commented, "This case presents yet another example of how federal courts are using Justice O'Connor's contrived test to cleanse America of Christianity. This unprincipled test allows judges to impose their own ideological views under the pretext of constitutional interpretation. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court refused to take up the case and remedy its flawed jurisprudence."

In a religious display cased decided by the Court in 2005, Justice Thomas echoed the sentiments of Thompson, stating, "The unintelligibility of this Court's precedent raises the further concern that, either in appearance or in fact, adjudication of Establishment Clause challenges turns on judicial predilections. . . . [A] more fundamental rethinking of our Establishment Clause jurisprudence remains in order."

Robert Muise, trial counsel for the Law Center who handled this case, was disappointed with the Court's decision, stating, "Our Constitution plainly forbids hostility toward Christians. Our Nation has a strong Christian heritage that is reflected in our traditions. One such tradition is displaying a creche during the Christmas season. New York City's Nativity ban exhibits a hostility that is contrary to our history and our Constitution. The Supreme Court should have reviewed this case."

I asked this because recently I heard about a law of some sort that their trying to pass in California that prohibits anyone from spanking their child if the child is under 5? Anyone else heard about this? I may have the state wrong, but I'm on the east coast, and I'm sure whatever state is was, was out west.

Knowing that I pay into Social Security every pay check with the possibility that I may never see that money again simply enrages me. With that little less to work with for retirement, the pennies are surely adding up. Is there any solution to this disaster called Social Security? I'm curious as to what others think can turn this failing system of Government around (and please think of something better than suggesting Bush's impeachment, for this has been a downward spiral since before his era). The most intriguing answer will get my vote. Thanks for answering!!

Would you consider globalization to be more like Samuel Huntington describes it as a clash of civilization in the sense of a rejection of overlapping cultural identities or as Thomas Friedman describes it as a conflict of cultural tradition and modernization?

I previously posted a question with the same title as this one. (You can refer to it to see all the curious details)
Since that question was posted, Hillary somehow, mysteriously extended her question another 2 weeks without signing in. (Still has the same 96 points)
Yahoo staff claims...
"This is not an endorsement. We are not siding with any candidate or party -- in general or for the 2008 US elections."
What do you believe is acctually going on here?
