No new refineries in 30 years. Why won't the dems let us drill?

I'll never understand what the issue is. I'm sure these men and women condemed to death didn't give much thought to the comfort of their victims. They're gettin' off easy I think. Even in their death the pain goes on for the victims families. Those who so violently take a life are of no value and we waste entirely too much time and tax dollars making sure they are treated with compassion, fed and housed. Your thoughts?

It's always something I've kind of regretted not doing and have been thinking of a major career change lately. I'm one of those people who complains about the world, but never does anything to change it, so it's time to start walking the walk. My main holdup is my age (32). I know I can still officially join, but I hesitate by the fact that I'll be surrounded by a bunch of punks just out of HS. I do already have a BA, but most of the Officer programs don't interest me so I'm thinking of the Enlisted programs. I'd rather "push the buttons" than "push papers" if you know what I mean. I'd like any advice from someone who has been in my shoes but still joined. Is it weird being bossed around by people 10 years younger than you? What are some of the pros and cons of joining either the Navy or Coast Guard past the age of 30. Am I crazy for even considering this?

Only legitimate answers please (don't just say "talk to a recruiter" because that is obvious). Thanks in advance!

You see it every freakin day: somebody, somewhere, tells someone what God thinks about a variety of different subjects.

Baseball player hits a home run, and guess what? God did it! That's why they point up in the sky.

Somebody reads an archaic book with 1000 of passages that do not pertain to modern society, but soon as they want to use one for their own twisted purposes, they suddenly know what God thinks about it.

Have you ever seen God?

Have you ever talked to God?

Has anyone in the entire world, all 6.5billion of us ever seen God?

Seen Jesus lately?


Quit twisting your religion to fit whatever your personal views happen to be.

If there is a God, then I'm going to take a page out of your book and tell you what he thinks about all this: He's GD tired of men and women manipulating religion for their own purposes.

"I am my bother's keeper."

I'd love to think of America as one big family. Each one of us responsible for our value and the value of our family.

Where do you think our American 'family' is going? Do we welcome new members of our family? Why do we act like memebers of the other politcal party are our enemy? Is our country just another "Disfunctional American Family?"

Dwight Eisenhower, Edward Brooke, Everett Dirksen, John Lindsay, Tom McCall, all fine Republicans, were all pro-environment and pro-choice and today they would be shunned by the anti-choice, go-ahead-and-poison-the-environment-Republican Party. How did it go wrong? How did it go crazy? How did it ever come to support sending jobs overseas, running gargantuan deficits, and starting pointless wars?

I am from the UK and I can not find my bith certificate which I needed for ID for a job.

I have found old wage slips with my National Insurrance Number on so now I was wondering if my uk marriage certificate would be ok. I dont see it on the list but hopefully its still accepted.

We see all the posters talking about War profits companies are making.

Does anyone have any facts to back up such alligations ?

I did some checking on KBR profits and found that they made :

In 2004 KBR lost 303 million dollars.

In 2005 KBR made 240 mill on sales of 10.1 bill, profit 2.4%

In 2006 KBR made 168 mill on sales of 9.6 bill, profit 0.94%


Now that doesn't seem like much war profit to me.

Not when you consider the NY Times made something like 26% profit last year.

So help us out, show us before and after profit figures from companies you think are profiting off the war.

A War will stop the world´s commerce and all the economic recovery in the last years for many countries.
The rebuilding of Capitalism in China and East countries will collapse, China will not be able to export to the world and its peasants and huge working class will become unemployed and will insurrect.Stovk Markets will plummet, US pension funds will go bankrupt.
In Latin American countries, their economies, now doing good with export of all kinds of commodities will fall in default.
The gargantuan US debt of 3 trillon Dollars will show the World that US currency is just a painted paper.
It will be easier to fuel class struggle in all the World!
Do you know what was the slogan used by Lenin in 1917 , "Bread and Peace!".
In 1916 Bosheviks were just 8 , not more than that, in the words of Lenin , " all the Bolsheviks cant fill more than 2 cars...!"

Isn't it very strange that a wacky Iraqi cleric, and the leading Democrats in Washington have the same view in our involvement in Iraq? Why do people like Ms. Pelosi, Mr Reid, and Goddess Hillary Queen of the PC, hate the United States just like Mr Al Sadr? Listen the message, it is the same view. You voted for them, wake up and smell the coffee.

I believe it will happen, and I believe they have nukes. I think they (Iran) view this as a holy war, so it's "do or die" for them.

That scares me...and I think it should scare everyone on this planet. The fall out from a nuclear war will affect the entire planet.

Thoughts?
