I've been on Active Duty with the Air Force for 12 months and want to be commisioned through ROTC, can I still get benifits through the G.I. Bill or will I have to wait the regular 36 months of Active Duty?

All these Republicans have said global warming is real and is being caused by human activity.

To pretend that this is a liberal vs. conservative position is simply incorrect.

Think about this...
As a defendent on trial.....you must be sworn in....
Your hand must be placed on a Bible....
And you must...

"Tell the whole truth, nothing but the truth, so help me God."

How do you tell the prisoners at Gitmo to do that!

The Bible means nothing to them!!

So how do we know they are telling the truth under oath??!!

The landlord has basically done nothing to put a stop to it other than suggeting we all have a meeting, (yeah like want to talk it out with an apparently unstable person after she threaten to kill me) I have had to get the cops involved a few times becuase she was banging on my door and ringing my bell like a lunatic screaming she's gonna put bullets in my door and kick my *** and kill my baby (i'm almost 4 mos. preg mind you) ... I've told the landlord that I am looking to move becuase I do not feel safe there for my baby. She said that she will give me my security back if i give her 30 days notice... I may have found and apt for the 1st and still want my security... the apt i'm in now is in the same condition i moved in and there is no damage. Does she have a right to keep my security if i am out before 30 days and there is no damage to the apt? i live in New York have lived there for a year and do not have a lease.

QUOTE : "In delivering his verdict, Mr Walker said: "The attack on the convoy amounted to an assault. "It was unlawful because there was no lawful reason for it and in that respect it was criminal." Four other soldiers were injured in the attack near Basra. No American witnesses gave evidence at the inquest and the coroner was critical of the failure of the US authorities to co-operate. "I believe that the full facts have not yet come to light," said the Oxford assistant deputy coroner. The US pilots should have flown lower to confirm identities before opening fire, he added. "I don't think this was a case of honest mistake."

MY QUESTION based on MANY facts of war relates to this CULTURE OF CONCEALMENT.
In the case above, this is NOT a witch-hunt. It was not a criminal court. The US and MoD were asked to co-operate.

Why don't they? When things go wrong - why conceal vital info when media have FULL access in the theatre? Wher's Sense

I think this is part of it. What do you think? any other thoughts?
These young cons waited until sex for marriage, and live a simple life of conformity. They are being bombarded with the sexual nature of our pop culture. This reminds them of what they may have lost by marrying so young and nieve. By now they have kids and can not leave the situation, so they suck closer to the church that reminds them what good people they are. This pride is all they have left after losing so much of life to a mate. They were willing and easy targets for bush to rally as they repress their sexual nature and hate people that are not of the same beliefs. Given that society has evolved to the idea that multiple relationships creates a well learned person. This explains why they were so blinded, by his no-gay, no-abortion attitudes, as this sterotype wants more than anything to be doing the right thing, by marriage and conformity, despite culture showing them the opposite.

Assume your favorite sport goes international and the US team competes against other countries in that sport and it is a World-wide event. A huge event, sort of like the Olympics, but just for your favorite sport.

Assume that the US team had been wearing uniforms made by a US sports company, like Nike, for example.

Now assume that a foreign sports clothing brand came and offered the US team a huge sum of money to wear their logo on the jerseys instead. Assume their offer is about 4 times as high as what the US brand is paying the national team.

Should the US team stick with the US logo out of loyalty or should the US team wear the logo of a foreign company and receive tons more money for it?

Bush controlled all media until mid 2003 when the corruption became to much to cover up. With so many Americans hearing major Washington stories not being reported by major news outlets, they started wanting truth and started calling them on their hush campaign, the media finally started to cover the real news and letting us no what was really going on.

Even Rush admitted to lying and trying to keep his GOP buddies in a good light.

There are stories of corruption and manipulation on nearly an everyday basis. With one of the largest turnouts for the election of Congress and the Senate, and the call for a shift in power, isn't it obvious that America is fed up.

So my question is how can the Republican's sit there and claim that the media is on a Liberal campaign?

Republicans went on a witch hunt over a BJ.

Should Democrats be calling for their heads over what they have done?

Every election there are those candidates who seem to thrive on using underhanded methods to defame the character of another candidate, just to make it appear as if they are the better pick for the people. Sometimes they say things that are the truth, while other times they do not.

A device they use are the ads we see on the tv's, billboards or hear on the radio.

What effect, if any will these mean spirited ads affect your voting? In your opinion what will be the biggest factors surrounding your choice, lets say, for the Presidency?
