I've always wanted to be a navy seal, but with the wars nowadays, i just can't help but wonder if the profession has lost its prestige as we are fighting useless wars. Would it still make a good career?

I had a case of vandilism on March 9 and was put on juvenile probation which requires me to do community service(which I will do) and not get suspended from school. However, I have been wrongfully accused of another case of vandilism which may send my march 9 case to court. However I cannot be unsuspended(maybe I can, please tell me how) So what will happen if my case is sent to court? Will i have a criminal record? Will I spend some time behind bars, maybe longer community service? Please tell me....I'm 15 years old and I go to a high school in New York. I will turn 16 early this May.

Bush did not utter the word VICTORY in his speech yesterday.

Instead, he now says our goal is to secure Bagdad.

What happened to defeating terrorists and WINNING?

Is this backsliding? Cutting and running?

I'm starting to wonder if the Democrats are not intent on suppressing minorities in high positions. They are happy when they are not in a position of power but ever since Condoleeza Rice was put in a position of Secretary of State, I've heard nothing but negative things about her from the Democrats.

Now they are starting to pick on Attorney General, Alberto Gonzales. They almost didn't allow him to be confirmed but they were unable to produce anyone that had anything negative to say about him so they had to confirm him. Now they are picking on him for firing 8 US attorneys. On the other hand, under Bill Clinton, the lily white Janet Reno fired 93. Hillary is one of the first to step up to the plate to call for Gonzales's firing.

For the life of me, I can't see anything other than it being racially motivated. How can Reno fire 93 and we don't hear a word, but Gonzales fire 8 and all of a sudden it's fire the Hispanic guy?

A friend recently told me that most engineers and scientists working on the Manhattan Project did not know that they were helping to create an atomic bomb. This makes sense, since there were 120,000 people working on the project--for security reasons, I'm sure the government wouldn't want everyone to know what they were creating. But can anyone send me some specific information about this? My friend said he saw this in a documentary (possibly on the History Channel). Is there other information on the secrecy of this project available? Where can I find it? Thanks...

Are you a random voter? I actually know ppl who do this. Do you do your homework and make sure the candidates agree with your views and then vote accordingly even though you know your guy doesn't stand a chance? Give up and just vote party views? Just think it's all a big scam and avoid it entirely?
Think the process is flawed, but better than nothing? All views welcome.
