I 'm a cadet airman basic, I just got into CAP. I'm in the Lousiana Wing and I have 14 boys and 2 other girls in my sqaudron. I haven't actually met them yet but I want to know if sexism is common in other CAP Cadet sqaudrons like it is at the Armed Forces academies. I'm just trying to find out as much as I can about the character of the CAP cadet program as possible before my first meeting next Monday night.

He got pulled over going 68 in 65. This is his secound no proof of insurance in the last couple Months. The officer also notified my friend that his license was revoked. My friend never received any letter explaining that he did not have a valid MN license. Plus they impounded his truck and work tools until he can provide insurance on the truck. He has to drive usualy far for his job, and now he won't be able to work. He's got 3 young kids and home to support. Should he go on wellfare or what? Or does he have any other options? Your input could be very helpful. Thanks.

Ok, heres the story:

A few months ago I let my friend borrow my copy of "Gears of War" for the X-Box 360. I was under the assumption that he would beat the single player portion of the game within a week or two and give it back, but he kept the game for well over two MONTHS despite my constant requests to have it back. When he finally returned the game it had multiple scratches.

Of course, I was angry. I try to be nice and this guy pretty much just spits in my face. Now, I had some dirt on this friend, he was 19 years old and his girlfriend was just barely 17. We live in California so his relationship is illegal. So I called the police and told them about him. He is going to court in a week and could face some jail-time if he gets convicted.

My other friends are furious with me and refusing to talk to me, but I honestly believe that what I did was justified. However, I'm a rational person so I'll be willing to listen to arguments to the contrary.

This morning my grandparents were driving me to work on their way to the YMCA. We came to a stop in the middle of the highway when there was only minimal, early-morning traffic. It was adorable - this little family of ducks were crossing the road. Everyone with a functioning brain and a decent set of morals stopped to let them pass. It was so cute because the mom was hurrying her little ducklings along as if she knew she was holding up a big line. But this very stupid couple was driving down the highway, and they had at least 15 metres to see the ducks. No, they didn't hit them, but only because the ducks got across the street fast enough. Wel this guy and his (I'm assuming) girlfriend cut the couple off to forced them to the side of the road. The guy got out of his car and proceeded to really rail on them. I swear, their faces were white by the time he was done with them. I commend him. What do you think of the couple? What do you think of the guy's reaction? What would you have done?

I feel that torture is wrong. totally and completely wrong. I know some people believe that it is right in all cases (its okay if you do, u have just as much chance of getting best answer...unless ur going to give ur answer in a condescending or "im right and UR wrong" kinda way. just be nice about it). Anyway, those people usually say that its matter of national security and whatnot to ensure that every possible threat is taken care off...and that includes torturing a person who MIGHT have the information to a possible attack on whatever country. But, i feel that, you can never really know if the person is the REAL bad guy. because what if he/she is just an innocent person who got caught at the wrong place at a wrong time. Or he/she could have been framed to do such a task....or blackmailed and such. There is NO WAY of trully knowing that the person knows something that is crucial....and personally, that is just TOO MUCH of a chance to take. im out of room.

stupid character limit.!

Illegals light border fires to sidetrack U.S. agents
By Jerry Seper
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
June 19, 2007


U.S. Border Patrol agents seeking to secure the nation's border in some of the country's most pristine national forests are being targeted by illegal aliens, who are using intentionally set fires to burn agents out of observation posts and patrol routes.
The wildfires have destroyed valuable natural and cultural resources in the National Forest System and pose an ongoing threat to visitors, residents and responding firefighters, according to federal law-enforcement authorities and others.
In the Coronado National Forest in Arizona, with 60 miles of land along the U.S.-Mexico border, U.S. Forest Service firefighters sent in to battle fires or clear wild-land fire areas are required to be escorted by armed law-enforcement officers.
Armed smugglers of aliens and drugs have walked through the middle of active firefighting operations, the authorities said.
The Border Patrol's Tucson, Ariz., sector, which encompasses most of the Coronado National Forest, has the highest incidence of cross-border violators in the nation. Nearly 500,000 illegal aliens were apprehended last year -- more than 30,000 a month. In addition, nearly 100,000 pounds of marijuana, with a street value of $200 million, was seized as it was hauled through the Coronado National Forest.
Last month, the Border Patrol -- in a single operation targeting illegal aliens causing what Forest Service officials called "significant damage" to the Coronado National Forest -- apprehended more than 300 illegals along just a three-mile section of U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona and confiscated 600 pounds of marijuana in a 10-day period.
At least five fires were set below a Border Patrol observation post during the operation in an effort to burn the agents out, according to a Forest Service report. The fires were extinguished, and no one was arrested.
Wildfires are being set by alien and drug smugglers, authorities said, to create a diversion in an attempt to gain undetected access across the border. The fires correspond to a dramatic rise in assaults against Border Patrol agents -- up more than 100 percent over last year.
"Criminal activity by both illegal immigrants and citizens in forests near the border is a threat to members of the public trying to use their public lands and to our employees trying to manage these lands," Tina J. Terrell, a Forest Service supervisor told a House Appropriations subcommittee last month.
She said law-enforcement personnel have been assaulted, threatened with weapons and shot at, and their vehicles have been rammed by cross-border violators. Because of the remoteness of the area, she said, timely assistance from other law-enforcement agencies is not always possible, and communications limitations and active interference with radio frequencies in Mexico create additional safety risks.
"Even normal enforcement duties bring our officers in regular contact with cross-border violators," she said. "Our officers risk their lives every day to enforce the law in these remote federally managed lands."
The Coronado National Forest is not the only area along the border being targeted for wildfires. Other blazes also have been set, including two this month near the San Luis, Ariz., port of entry as the result of Molotov cocktails -- one of which barely missed a Border Patrol agent.
Authorities said agents are being targeted by illegal aliens and their smugglers for rock attacks -- including grapefruit-size rocks wrapped in rags, dipped in gasoline and set on fire.
"As larger areas of the border come under operational control, we can expect violence to increase as smuggling operations can no longer operate with impunity and do not have unfettered access to the border for their criminal activities," Border Patrol Chief David V. Aguilar told a Homeland Security subcommittee this year.
"This explosion of aggression is an indicator how desperate and angry drug and human traffickers are at the increasing disruption of their smuggling routes," he said.

They claim that liberals attack them, when it is a fact that the right wingers are the one's calling the liberals evil. Are they really this blind and full of hate? I thought Christ was tolerant and open to all people's, but if you follow right wingers logic, he is only tolerant until he sends those who disagree with right wingers to hell. Are they really this naive and ignorant? I really wish they would grow up. They claim that liberals make abusive remarks and then when someone calls them on their own abuses they suddenly don't want to take responsibility for their own actions.

I see this comment all the time (from mostly liberal minded people) and wonder, why is this an illegal war?

Also, the democrats also voted for war, does this make them complicit in this "illegal war?"

The democrats say they were misled and lied to, but isn't information in all wars shaky, i.e. the fog of war, etc.?

If saddam broke hundreds of U.N. resolutions (like he did, and he agreed to abide by these resolutions), doesn't this mean he had to be stopped?
