I know you must audition and pay for a license in order to busk in the TTC subways, but I'd like to know if I can just set up on a street and busk, or if I would need some sort of license.

....
you came in, masssacred the indians, and stole their land. Now you have the audacity to complain. At least the Mexicans aren't taking land which YOU stole.

(and respond as you wish. A 12-year old girl who is my younger sisters' friend was discussing this very issue in class the other day. We were talking about it today. In a way, she is right.)

Like, if somebody dies in it or something, do they clean it out very well before they send it to the junkyard? It's a strange question I know, but somebody on the Craigslist said that you can actually see stains etc if you go to the junkyard.

And if this is the case why are we putting it in charge of retirement accounts, education, welfare, etc., etc., etc.

How Bush keeps spending $800 Billion Dollars on Nuecular Development to bomb an area, then spend another $100 Billion Dollars to rebuild it?!?! Why not save the $900 Billion Dollars and spend it for the good of humanity! Chidren are starving every hour and leaving our good Earth! Why must we drop bombs to create Peace! Spread "Democracy" to others cultures, (possible) yet we shouldn't force other areas to become like us! That's what is so unique about our world, we can learn from one another.

I know that I could get it off my DD 214, but I was in the army reserve and reservists aren't issued 214's. I've already tried the national archives web site and they don't have it.

As a liberal I am completely against the war because of Bush's lies about the causes of why we should have invaded the war. Bush has totally failed miserably, there is no doubt about that. He is in a totall mess that he cannot get himself out. If we leave, thousands of Iraqis will die. In conclusion that will completely reflect the failures of the Democrats.

Instead of that, shouldn't the Democrats take the lead and use proper strategic plans and show Bush and his lover fans neo-cons and repubs that Liberals can clean Bush's mess up and DO IT TEN TIMES BETTER?

I'm not kidding, the whole time I was watching that movie, I was thinking that they must have based her character off of a certain senator from Ney York.

If you haven't seen the movie, I highly recommend it.

All the talk about the "promote the general welfare" in the preamble to the Constitution being a blank check for the expansion of the social welfare state, even though it is by no means a law, just a description of the intent of the document, makes my brain hurt. The laws themselves are in the body, not the intro. There is no constitutional basis for any social service. It took an amendment just to ban booze, something simple, but all these tax theft neo-communist (neo-com) social programs are forced upon us with no legal backing. Public schools, public healthcare, welfare, social securtiy, the DEA, ATF, FDA, IRS, even the CIA and FBI have no right to exist under our Founding Documents, but the neo-coms want to not only expand all of them, but create new ones as well to make us wards of the state, no better than a filthy European! Not really a question, more of a rant. Opinions?

11C Indirect fire infantryman
19D Calvary Scout
13F Fire support specalist

Also do you know if I could add option 40 to any of these?

I scored in the 97th percentile on the ASVAB. but I really want to do a combat MOS instead of intel like my recruiter is pressuring me to do. I just feel like I should be there serving my country in iraq. but before I sign on as one of these I'd like peoples opinions on these jobs and any input would be helpful.



thank you in advance.

So the Abramoff scandal has claimed another money grubbing GOPer. If given enough time, they'd all be in the slammer.

We started it now it's only fitting that we end it. If we up and left Iraq to it's own power, what would happen?

I know the main headlines but as far as digging deep into it I find myself lost. I'm not what you would concider an ignorant person. I just don't have a lot of interest in this area. Is this a bad thing?

I tire of ads on tv where charities ask for donations for people abroad. Surely we should make sure our elderly, infirm and homeless are looked after here first before giving money to other countries. Why does it become the UK's problem if the richer part of a foreign country doesn't look after the poorer part.
