Politics & Government - 21 March 2007

I have already asked questions and have recieved many answers. One thing I would like to find out is which would be better: The Navy SEALS or the Marines. It may sound strange,Or maybe you know how I feel, but I find the challenging and mentally/physically exhausting to be fun. I find doing crazy things like jumping out of a plane and freefalling miles behind enemy lines or fighting off terrorists with only a couple other guys beside you to somthing that I would like to do. The question is what should I be looking to do when I join. Right now im shooting for the naval achademy, what should I be looking to do. Im deffinitly joining the military but what would be me best shot at doing stuff like that? Should I be considering The SEALS program or heading towrads force recon in the Marines? OR is there somthing else in another branch of the military that Im not seeing Im just unsure of which branch I should be looking to join to get what I want. I am dedicated and WILL work for it.

There is no question only stupid people will stand in line in the morning to show off a cup from Starbuck.

It is a tragedy people can be this stupid, no wonder there are so many Republicans and so many GWB voters and supporters in this country

Do you think things would be better in this country or worse?

In some jurisdictions, as late as 2002, there were laws on the books that discriminated against homosexuals by making sodomy illegal. There are still laws on the books in some jurisdictions that make some sex toys illegal in some jurisdictions. These laws are based on the notion that masturbation is wrong. These are clearly based on Christian values. Not all Christians are this strict, but the ones in the more conservative parts pass laws like this that enforce their religious values on others.

I just read in the Dispatch this moring that we have built 309new schools, 84 new hopitals and 34 new power plants in Iraq. We can't get one new hospital here in southern Ohio without a fight for funding from the same government that paid for these nice new places in Iraq. Can someone explain this to me???

80 to 95% of the wealth in America is in the hands of 5 to 10 percent of the population. Imagine 1000 people in a community, 50 of them own the majority of everything. 200 of them are starving, 500 of them are struggling to survive comfortably. Why do the bottom 700 allow the top 50 to own them through debt and work for them as servants?

If the top 50 do not pay their employees enough to survive shouldnt the top 50 be fined as thieves?or taxed for using people?

Bush says setting a hard pullout date will embolden terrorists who will make plans to step up their attacks after U.S. troops leave. But, won't it be obvious when we are leaving if a date is announced or not? You can't pull 160,000 troops out at once. It takes time. It will be obvious we are leaving even if a date is not announced. Do you think the terrorists will just suddenly wake up one day and say, "Oh, sh*t! They're gone!" Puh-leeze!

Its mighty suspicious to be firing off a lot of good attorneys all of a sudden. Doesn't it at least warrant an oath of truthful explanation? We all know Clinton pulled this crap too. Is American government circling the toilet bowl? Theres never been this must activity since WW2. Feels like the whitehouse is raising its very own "Iron Curtain". What do you think? Do all Republicans feel that the administration should not be sworn to truth?

"The radical of one century is the conservative of the next. The radical invents the views. When he has worn them out, the conservative adopts them."

"As a believer:
· that human-caused global warming is a moral, ethical, and spiritual issue affecting our survival;

· that home energy use is a key component of overall energy use;

· that reducing my fossil fuel-based home energy usage will lead to lower greenhouse gas emissions; and

· that leaders on moral issues should lead by example;

I pledge to consume no more energy for use in my residence than the average American household by March 21, 2008.”

Gore refused to take the pledge.
