Politics & Government - 18 June 2007

I am reading this online article about something dealing with the Navy and one guy interviewed said he is a Petty Officer in charge of the officers' mess and another is a Mess specialist 2nd Class. They didn't go into any details about what that meant though, so I was just wondering and trying to understand the lingo i'm reading. Thank you in advance! :)

MP's voted for or against the War in Iraq. Was it such a good thing to leave the vote in their hands?

Ok, say I vote for a candidate who doesn't get elected. Say I'm not Labour or Conservative, but Liberal Democrat. And my guy doesn't get elected.

Is it possible to think that the person who does get elected is not truely representing my voice in parliament, since I didn't vote for him.

Therefore, they're voting for/ against the War not on my behalf?
Should the vote be put to the public then?

I was just interested, it seems like they don't swing everything over to the extreme left when they report. Some of these other networks are run by socialists, seriously.

The leader of the Scottish Nationalist Party is not satisfied with being a Big Fish in a Little Pond.
He is deliberately inciting unrest between our two peoples by dishing out "Freebies" to the Scots:in order to irritate the English.
His game plan is this:
Break with the English and ally with France("The Auld Alliance")
In return for siding with France (and Germany)
he can help them out-vote other EU members!
And France will vote for big subsidies for Scotland.
HOWEVER, France wants to RULE the EU and Scotland will end just a puppet,BEGGING France not to cut off money that Scotland desperately needs!

All republicans should go register as Dems. before the primary. Then we can vote for two of their CRAPPIEST canidates.

When the actual election comes, we vote for Thompson (or who ever is the best Republican Canidate).

Not sure if anybody can help me out but In May of 2002 I was arrested in Indiana. I was charged with a misdeameanor and a felony. Not to get into to many specifics I never resided in Indiana and was only there for school. In 2003 a judge issued a bench warrant for my arrest that I am just now finding out about. When I talked to a lawyer he said that from that point the Statue of Limitations is tolled and doesnt apply.

My question, I live in Florida I want to resolve this issue. From what I understand I have two options, go up there and turn myself in or hire a lawyer to try and resolve it. I dont want to go up there and have to spend a week or more in Jail for some BS, and i am not sure if the lawy . Once I am arrested for the bench warrant does the statue of Limitations then go back in to effect and therefore the charges are dropped? Also if I did turn myself in how long would it take to resolve everything, meaning getting a court if nessescary and so on. Any help would be appreci

I don't believe it has worked for more than 30 years . Whether it's during a Republican administration or a Democrat Administration .

So my question to you is this. . .. . . WHY ? . . Why doesn't it work anymore ? What's different from the past ?

I think it's the result of many things including and foremost , the liberal teaching ideology . Not enough or any personal responsibility for anything . No corporal punishment . No instant punishment . The notion that we must accept and understand everybody . And the big one. . . . . . The removal of God from our schools . The Christian God that is .

Now I'm sure some of you will disagree and others will agree , so put into words exactly what you think is responsible . Unless of course you think it's working , but if you do , then you must understand that many if not most can provide evidence that it's not .

Naturally, the common people don't want war, but they can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. Tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and endangering the country. It works the same in every country. - Herman Goering, Hitler's Reichsmarschall at the Nuremberg trials.
