conspiracy theorists, do you really believe what you say about the suicide bombings in iraq? I mean, that those drivers are actually innocent people, who are stopped at the checkpoint, their car is being searched for explosives, the bomb gets planted by coalition soldiers, and later remote-triggered?
cause I really dont see a point of this ill-minded theory. why do you believe this inprobable theory when there is one more likely real, why don't you admitt those suicide drivers are real.. are you really that blind?
I' ve even heard rumors that several IEDs in marketplaces were planted by SAS and other SF.
What would that help? even if I would admitt the Allied forces are there just for oil /which i dont believe neither/ they would require as quiet country as possible to mine it.

America is big on Equal Rights, as they should be. Explain to me how THIS is equal-
When a woman gets pregnant women have the right to choose life, abortion, or adoption. A woman can keep her baby, kill her baby, or even leave her baby abandoned in the hospital or in a church and not be procecuted. In the case of adoption, giving up all of their parental rights without thought of responsibility to their child, they are even praised for "giving the child a better life" with another family.
When a woman gets pregnant a man has NO CHOICES. He doesn't get to decide if he wants to keep the baby or sign his rights away [I am NOT saying he should have the right to force an abortion]. If he decides he is not ready for his responsibility [like women who leave their child with the hospital/church, or through adoption] he is a "deadbeat", and is then hunted by DCS and/or the police.
How can this duplicity exist in a society who values "equal rights"?

to say that Marines storming out of a chopper in a hot LZ, coming from an amphibious ship, is not being "amphibious"? when Marines are pinned down and a cobra comes to their aid with close air support, is that not being "amphibious" even if it came from the sea on an amphib vessel? i proudly served on two Marine Amphibious Units and take my word for it, choppers are totally "amphibious" i been there. now do u all get my point?

My grandma put in deposit for an apartment, she was suppose to move in but the manager did not finish fixing the place so the move in date was push back. During that time, another complex for low incomes had a vacant apartment and gave her the offer. The rent was cheaper and the place was better so she decided to take this one instead. She did call and tell the manager of the place she deposit to rent the place out. Can she get back all or part of her deposits?

I know when you first start the job of a BM you pretty much chip paint or assign it, but what do you do to qualify for the bigger, better jobs like search and rescue or driving the boats. How long may this take. I am going in next year with no rank, do I just have to make a good name for myself. What would be the best way to stand out as the best and most responsible. What should I say to the higher ranks to stand out as the one.

Frankly, I don't appreciate having to wait on line - sometimes 5 minutes or more = to have the security guard mark my receipt as a requirement to exit the store, after I have completed and paid for my purchase. I'm monitored by cameras and personnel within the store. Why should I be expected to expend more minutes of my limited lifespan to prove I in fact paid for my purchase? Perhaps I'm mistaken or sensitive, but, is the onus on me to prove I've paid for my items in order to exit the store? Please help me understand. Do we (customers) have a legal, moral or ethical obligation to wait on line at the exit, after waiting in line at the register, after waiting in the lot for a parking space? Can someone please help me to put this into perspective, because I seem to be losing minutes of my life, several times a day unnecessarily inconvienenced. Understand the only reason I enter these stores is to make purchases e.g. spend money. So I find this practice particularly annoying.

Update: Today I read on questions and answers this information about Iraq. "We are winning because we are killing more of the insurgents than they are killing of us". Did we forget about Vietnam?

solely based on the abortion issue, she has no opinion on Terrorism no opinion on the economy no opinion on healthcare no opinion on military or Iraq! She is solely basing her vote on Abortion and I enlightened her as much as she could be that Guiliani was pro choice and she said good she may vote for him!!!!!!!! Is this the caliber of voters Dems have in 08 and if so what on Earth are we to deal with if Dems take the Presidency in 08? I am horrified how ridiculously uninformed these Democrat voters are and how little they know about ourcountries issues and why they are even voting one way or the other! What a shame we live in a world with ignorant fools as these! Oh I am toltally questioning why I am friends with this numbnut by the way!!!!!!!!!!!!

What right does a judge have to decide what is in the "best interest of the child" when both parents are fit? I mean I can understand if a parent is really unfit, like very heavy into meth and such, but I have seen children sad and so upset because they wanted to live with one parent but the judge decides who they live with. Why don't they let children speak up? I know teenage run aways because of this situation. In fact I know a kid right now who just ran away and went to live with his dad because some know it all judge decided it was "the best interest of the child" to live with his mother. Well, the mother ended her job after she got him and lived off a small settlement from workers comp and is now on welfare and getting child support and her son was just a meal ticket. She is now trying to figure out what she will do with this sudden income loss. Obviously this was not in the best interest of the child! His father has been great for him. Why won't judges let children decide?

Public Education is a disaster. Far too often we see high school graduates who can't read, write or do math. Throwing money at the problem isn't working. If you ran an business in the same manner as Public Education, you'd lose your shirt. Rewarding employees (teachers) who turn out a miserable product is counterintutive.

When education policy discussions occur, liberals quickly jump to point out how "public school teachers are poorly paid". Clearly, this is a talking-point provided courtesy of the thugs in Big Labor.

Typically absent in these discussions, however, is any reference to systematic data on how much public school teachers are actually paid.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS):

-The average public school teacher in the United States earned $34.06 per hour in 2005.

-The average public school teacher was paid 36% more per hour than the average non-sales white-collar worker and 11% more than the average professional and technical worker.
