Some of the Californians are failed to vote "Yes on 87" because of that i assume we are suffering on gas price now. If we have vote for "Yes on Prop. 87" then we could get lower gas price, isn't it?

i personally think that Women should not be in the front lines of battlefields.

i think women are capable of doing a great job and probly no worse than the male soldiers and there is a place for women in the military but just not on the front line.

But being realisitc the front is no place for awomen.
the armed forces are made up of mainly males, men act differentely whilst around women and whilst in there company.
and in a combat situation you would want everyone feeling comfortable with everyone.
its just how it is.

i wanna hear everyone elses views

A United States Marine was attending some college courses between assignments. He had completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan .One of the courses had a professor who was an avowed atheist and a member of the ACLU.

One day the professor shocked the class when he came in. He looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, "God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you exactly 15 minutes."

The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop. Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, "Here I am God. I'm still waiting."

It got down to the last couple of minutes when the Marine got out of his chair, went up to the professor, and cold-****** him knocking him off the platform. The professor was out cold.
The Marine went back to his seat and sat there, silently.

The other students were shocked and stunned and sat there looking on in silence.The professor eventually came to,noticeably shaken, looked at
the Marine and asked, .............

"I see a lot of people yelling for peace but I have not heard of a plan for peace.

So, here's one plan."

1) "The US will apologize to the world for our "interference" in their affairs, past & present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Tojo, Noriega, Milosevic, Hussein, and the rest of those "good ole boys", we will never "interfere" again.

2) We will withdraw our troops from all over the world, starting with Germany , South Korea , the Middle East , and the Philippines . They don't want us there. We would station troops at our borders. No one allowed sneaking through holes in the fence.

3) All illegal aliens have 90 days to get their affairs together and leave.We'll give them a free trip home. After 90 days the remainder will be gathered up and deported immediately, regardless of whom or where they are. They're illegal!!!

France will welcome them .

4) All future visitors will be thoroughly checked and limited to 90 days unless given a special permit!!!! No one from a terrorist nation will be allowed in. If you don't like it there, change it yourself and don't hide here. Asylum would never be available to anyone. We don't need any more cab drivers or 7-11 cashiers .

5) No foreign "students" over age 21. The older ones are the bombers .

If they don't attend classes, they get a "D" and it's back home baby .

6) The US will make a strong effort to become self-sufficient energy wise. This will include developing nonpolluting sources of energy but will require a temporary drilling

of oil in the Alaskan wilderness. The caribou will have to cope for a while.

7) Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries $10 a barrel for their oil. If they don't like it, we go someplace else (like Canada ! or Oklahoma !). They can go somewhere else to sell their production.

(About a week of the wells filling up the storage sites would be enough.)

8) If there is a famine or other natural catastrophe in the world, we will not "interfere" They can pray to Allah or whomever, for seeds, rain, cement or whatever they need. Besides most of what we give them is stolen or given to the army.

The people who need it most get very little, if anything .

9) Ship the UN Headquarters to an isolated island someplace. We don't need the spies and fair weather friends here. Besides, the building would make a good homeless shelter or lockup for illegal aliens .

10) All Americans must go to charm and beauty school. That way , no one can call us "Ugly Americans" any longer. The Language we speak is ENGLISH...learn it...or LEAVE...Now, isn't that a winner of a plan ?

"The Statue of Liberty is no longer saying "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses."

She's got a baseball bat and she's yelling, 'you want a piece of me ?' "

(Monster)
Once the religious, the hunted and weary
Chasing the promise of freedom and hope
Came to this country to build a new vision
Far from the reaches of kingdom and pope
Like good Christians, some would burn the witches
Later some got slaves to gather riches

But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands to court the wild
And she just patiently smiled and bore a child
To be their spirit and guiding light

And once the ties with the crown had been broken
Westward in saddle and wagon it went
And 'til the railroad linked ocean to ocean
Many the lives which had come to an end
While we bullied, stole and bought our a homeland
We began the slaughter of the red man

But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands to court the wild
And she just patiently smiled and bore a child
To be their spirit and guiding light

The blue and grey they stomped it
They kicked it just like a dog
And when the war over
They stuffed it just like a hog

And though the past has it's share of injustice
Kind was the spirit in many a way
But it's protectors and friends have been sleeping
Now it's a monster and will not obey

(Suicide)
The spirit was freedom and justice
And it's keepers seem generous and kind
It's leaders were supposed to serve the country
But now they won't pay it no mind
'Cause the people grew fat and got lazy
And now their vote is a meaningless joke
They babble about law and order
But it's all just an echo of what they've been told
Yeah, there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads into a noose
And it just sits there watchin'

Our cities have turned into jungles
And corruption is stranglin' the land
The police force is watching the people
And the people just can't understand
We don't know how to mind our own business
'Cause the whole worlds got to be just like us
Now we are fighting a war over there
No matter who's the winner
We can't pay the cost
'Cause there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads into a noose
And it just sits there watching

(America)
America where are you now?
Don't you care about your sons and daughters?
Don't you know we need you now
We can't fight alone against the monster

I've heard in the atheist newspaper, the New York Times, Christian Fundamentalists, Muslim Fundamentalists, and Jewish Fundamentalists often listed at the same time. They believe that religion causes violence always. But are the Christians blowing themselves up every time South Park makes fun of Jesus? Are Christians also terrorists? And if not, why should Christians be forced to go through the same airport security things Muslims are subjected to, except, that Muslims are protected from being searched too heavily, and Christians aren't.

Should we send a copy to everyone in Congress? What will it take to get the laws changed to protect people *and* preserve our Constitional rights. (I don't think we have to make a choice between doing one or the other.) I think what happened at Virginia Tech shows we have to do something different. What does it take to get that message through and acted on?

What legal action could I take against a service shop or warranty company that ended up charging me money for something that is covered by warranty. Shop worked on my car on a part that warranty covered, and didn't check something they were supposed to check in the process and 1 week later the part they were supposed to check went bad (due to them not checking) my warranty wouldn't cover the labor again (5hrs). in the process service personnel at the shop lied, refused to dispute the warranty company, and on top of it was extremely (to the extreme) rude, called me a liar etc.
In the end service manager ''agreed'' to cover 50% of labor cost (they took the engine apart without my permission and claimed they got my permission over the phone, no signature) and I needed my car to go to work so by this point I had no other choice but to pay the left over part to get my car back.
I am not looking for a quick buck I just want my money back from the last 2 repairs,1st repair I paid deductible
