My cousin said a friend told her everyone has to razor cut their hair in the Marines. I want to be a real Marine, but can I just keep a long French braid and tie into a bun?

i have recently split from my girlfriend and she has stopped me from seeing my daughter , i have initiated court proceedings and she has made a statement to the court saying that i am an abusive alcoholic and that i beat her and that my daughter is scared of me. as a result of this i am now under investigation by cafcass . these are atrocious lies as i have never raised a hand to her and certainly wouldnt frighten my child . i have now had no contact with my daughter for five months and things are not exactly looking rosey . it seems to me that if i was a woman i would not be faced with these difficultys in obtaining contact to my child , i dont understand how a woman can just make up some stories and go to court and get what she wants , this is a very frustrating situation for me and i would really apreciate and help or advice anyone could offer

In my opinion if you are here illegally ,and are not a citizen , then you have no rights. You should not be able to recieve any benefits at the tax payers expense. Should not be able to drive or rent property .And Amnesty is wrong.

Someone very close to me was arrested for possession of a controlled substance and has a 3rd degree felony. Is that the worst? Or is it a 1 st degree felony? And what is the difference between a 1st 2nd or 3rd degree felony and a State Felony? Sorry, I'm just trying to understand this case....

And why is "environmentalist" such a dirty word? I care about the planet, but that doesn't mean I'm some crazy leftist radical.

""This campaign is unprecedented in the pro-immigration community," said Cecilia Muñoz, senior vice president of the National Council of La Raza, in a statement. "Never before have we brought together under one banner such a formidable political coalition to fight for passage of comprehensive immigration reform. We now have the money, the people and the political will to punch this vital issue over the goal line in Congress and make America a better place to live and work."

The campaign says they have $4 million dollars on hand to spend on the congressional fight. The group will lead local and national groups seeking comprehensive immigration reform that has a chance of passing the House and Senate. Washington-based lobbyists will execute the strategy and field operation in 30 key states."

Are you writing to your Congressmen?

This seems to be the argument for "Don't ask, Don't tell" but I don't see the reason why you wouldn't want to serve with gay people. What is the reasoning behind this? I just don't understand.

It seems like if a guy or gal can shoot straight and is in good physical condition you would want the help in your foxhole. That's all I'm saying.

We don't need scientific evidence to see how destructive man is to this planet. Our pollution ruins rivers and lakes and
our pollution forever taints the ground into which it seeps or is poured into. The air we breath is full of pollutants. So much so some of us cannot live in those cities and cannot breathe.
Why on earth do we need science to tell us we are ruining this earth in every way. Common sense should prevail - pollution can change everything - including the climate.

"SAN DIEGO -- The driver of a car that dragged a Border Patrol agent into oncoming traffic in North County was sentenced Friday in San Diego to 15 months in federal prison, authorities said.

U.S. District Judge Dana M. Sabraw also ordered defendant Francisco Javier Rodriguez-Salazar, 21, to serve two years of supervised release when he is released from custody.

Rodriguez-Salazar, a Mexican citizen who is in this country illegally, pleaded guilty Dec. 15 to a grand jury indictment alleging assault on a federal officer, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher Ott."

Since we don't have 'supervised release' of people in a different country, does this verdict assume that he is going to be allowed to stay HERE after jail???

This question is in response another I posted last night asking "Do as Jesus says unless Bush says otherwise...." The main premise being that as a Christian, I cannot condone senseless killing. I got shocking answers like: Jesus wanted his disciples to kill people and we have every right to kill every evil person on the planet, and basically that we should kill every Muslim because they're all terrorists. As a Christian and an AMERICAN I'm so appalled!!! Here's my question to my fellow Christians (and I happily invite the opinions of others as well): Do you really believet: A) Jesus would command the Christian armies to kill everyone we don't agree with (whether they're killing their own people or not) B) That Jesus himself would kill these people. Please give me a laugh and answer yes to this question.
PS I am a conservative and before you question my credentials - I was a member of the Young Rep.s and I have been invited to DC and met the prez. PPS Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11

Calderon says the US needs to do more to help Mexico's economy to stem the tide of immigration. My question is, will Mexico ever pay us back for the crimes immigrants commit, the taxes they didn't pay (if you look at the 10 most wanted lists in most big cities, the majority are Latin Americans THAT IS A FACT) My guess is no, they won't

I was watching an episode of COPS yesterday, and this guy had about a pound of crystal meth in his bag.

And it hit me...

What in the WORLD do the police and/or government do with the drugs they confiscate?
