My husband is ranked E-5 in the Navy and for the past 3 years we have been in Navy housing in upstate NY, thus we never saw our BAH, it went directly to the housing. We just moved into a house we bought in Williamsburg, VA near the newport news shipyard, and now we are wondering if he gets paid half of his BAH in the mid-month check, and half at the end? Or should it come in a lump sum once a month? thanks!

and if that is the case why do Conservatives go to such pains as to say we are a Republic not a Democracy.....

and why are we killing 750,000 people so that they can swallow this false ideology?

Even the Greeks now have second thoughts at the way this word (rule by the people, for the people) has been abused.

It seems to me that an influx of immigration bolsters the economy and doesn't depress it. And that immigrant workers are not lowering the wages of American as some people have stated.

No?

Why does Yahoo spin this like those who are breaking the law are the ones suffering?

No one to blame but the illegals themselves. Families do not have to be torn apart, if they are as illegal as those being deported, they should go to their home country as well.
Problem fixed no illegal immigration, no families torn apart.

They were after another Maria but settled for arresting Velasquez, a pregnant mother of three who came illegally to this farming town from Mexico 15 years ago.

When I was 13 I was caught shop-lifting (naughty I know) and arrested by the police. Basically I was not charged (well I don't think I was), but I received what was known as a 'black mark' on my record - which basically was described as a temporary criminal record which lasted 5 years. What I want to know is, if I apply for a job and they do a police check will this incident become known to my potential employer? Or will it have been wiped clean off my record after the 5 years?

We give hundreds of billions of our taxes away to every other freakin' country on Earth to help them rebuild or meddle in their politics, we need to start making sure US citizen are taken care of first! There are so many poverty stricken eldery, families, and individuals in this country, many of whom can't get help because of red tape and bueacracy. Oh but our government freely hands out cash to other foreigners and immigrants no questions asked. Think of the billions of dollars earmarked for the war in Iraq that we could be using to help our citizens get out of poverty, get homes and jobs. LET'S START REBUILDING THE USA AND TAKING CARE OF OUR PEOPLE FIRST INSTEAD OF EVERY FREAKIN' OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD

I can think of no way this will be of any benefit to any arab in palestine. Does the world have any kind of an obligation to help bring peace there....or should we just say forget it and let the Israelis do as they will and Hamas do as it will and just build a wall around the place and never look at it again?

I am a college student. My boyfriend is in the military and about to be deployed for an 8 month tour of duty in Iraq. I am having a hard time with this and was wondering what other women with military boyfriends/husbands do to get though this situation. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.

it's really quite simple..anyone can do it..start on day one by taking just 5 seconds to think of somthing you truly love about the United States, just 5 seconds...day two, you spend 10 seconds putting aside your rage and hatred against the country the drive-by media instills in you constantly, and only think poistively of America. day 3, 15 seconds, .and so on..give it a try. you might just end up being a pro-american american!

UK university organisations are proposing an academic boycott of israeli academics etc. How fair is this? Or is it pure hypocrisy and prejudice?
There seems to be an obsession with Israel amongst leftist academia in the UK, as well as Guardian and Independent readers! I personally feel it has much to do with a post colonial guilt trip, after all israel is western, its a democracy, its like us in a way! While the Arabs are "different" thus the leftist, as always, will support the other side!
Thus it suits their stunted ideology to defend the oppressed against the evil capitalists, as guardianistas and student unions would see it.

Surely it is utterly hypocritical? Wheres the ban on academics from North Korea, Zimbabwe, Iran, Russia, Belorus, Saudi Arabia, Sudan perhaps (well the leftists cant get upset about darfur, because its Arabs slaughtering black africans, nothing to do with their guilt trip eh?).....looks like utter rubbish, when will these people grow up!
