Politics & Government - 18 June 2007

Essentially that is what the debate is, freedom versus equality, capitalism or socialism. You do know that the two opposed positions cannot truly mix, the tension is too great for that to ever work.

The thoughts I have asked about this evening were inspired to say the least by this article. If you care about freedom you should read it. If your focus is equality and socialism, try reading Marx, perhaps the Communist Manifesto.

Selling citizen-ships to illegal immigrants in return for their service in the US military.

Now Bush has pretty much screwed up everything he has ever done in regards to the Iraq war but I have to admit this illegal immigrant idea is genius. He kills two birds w/ one stone.

Too many illegal immigrants in the US so send them to Iraq to get eliminated by insurgents & if the US either wins the war or cuts & runs just leave the illegal immigrants in Iraq.

So my boyfriend was enlisted in the Air Force in DEP. Due to his metal disorders (bi polar and depression) he can no longer join because he had a blow out and ended up going to the hospital. He called an Airman and he told my boyfriend that he would could no longer join the Air Force and he would be getting some kind of discharge. If he gets a discharge he is pretty much screwed with any other job. What can he do, please help!!!! And what is the most severe punishment can he get. Is a discharge possible?

I'm not going to destroy it, just write a website address in the margin. I am thinking that it might be a free source of advertisement, seeing as how bills travel throughout the community and country.

In order to buy a firearm legally in California you must first successfully complete a firearms safety course, go through an extensive background check, find a licensed firearm dealer and wait out what I believe is a two week waiting period for handguns. But anybody over the age of 18 can walk into just about any major sporting goods chains store a purchase ammunition on the spot. It seems to me that if firearms have serial numbers, then bullets and casings should have some identifying markings as well. Imagine if bullets and shell casings had some some identifying serial numbers laser etched into them. To be able to tie a bullet, to at lot number, to a piont of sale, to a bar code, to a drive's license and maybe to a murder. Something etched on the inside of thr casing and the "tail" end of the bullet itself. True crimminals obtain firearms illegally as a matter of course, but dare I say very few of them load their own amunition. Bullets that could be trace back to the purchaser.

My grandpa took it off a sub at Mare Island years and years ago. It's white with two light blue stripes around the top - the lower one thinner than the top. I don't know what it was about the mug, but it was eventually dubbed MY teacup whenever I visited my grandparents, because I would reach all the way to the back of the cupboard to use specifically that one. It's gone now, broke or got lost or something. Where could I find one like it? Is there any kind of online surplus store? Or maybe ebay? I don't even know what to look for, I'm not sure if "navy-issue teacup" is descriptive enough.

government's duty is not to allow social change but to drive change in the direction the government chooses?

Racial preferences, it is what these people are all about, right? Their preferences involve identifying groups "disabled" by society -- victims, because of their lack of competence, must be treated as wards of state.

If you are a non-white do you feel disabled, a victim, do you agree with the Dems that you should be a ward of the Socialist State? Do you like how the Dems treat you as second class citizens? Do you think the Dems are messed up, dead wrong on this issue? Why would you continue to vote for them?

I am still legally married, but have been seperated 2 years. I live in Al, and my husband lives in WY. We have 2 children together. There is no legal custody papers, I have always had the kids as he doesn't pay child support, call them, or has seen them in over a year. He called for a visitation and I let my girls go see him in Wy. Now he is saying that I cannot have them back that they are better off with him. I am a basketcase! Should I just sit back and let the courts handle it or should I go and get my kids (my attorney said possession was 9\10 of the law) I can't live without my kids, what do I do?

In 1969 I was in the Military Americans would say "Get out of my way you worthless piece of ****". Now, 38 years later I am now against the illegal war in Iraq and Americans still tell me to "Hush Up, Leave the country, find a new country, say "Get out of my way OR Get out of my counry and live in Iraq or Iran. Why are Americans like that?

Please read the article in the link provided and give me an honest opinion. Please read the full article and if you still believe that illegal immigrants are indispensable to this country, please give me your opinions. I don't agree that we should allow illegals to be in this country. I don't know how, I don't have the answer but their countries need to figure out a way to keep their citizens in their country.
