IS ANYONE ELSE DISGUSTED BY THE AMOUNT OF TIME, MONEY AND ENERGY BEING SPENT ON TRYING TO GET ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION TO NOT BE ILLEGAL ANYMORE? MY HARD EARNED, AND YOURS, TAX DOLLARS BEING SPENT ON TRYING TO FORGIVE ILLEGAL ACTS AND NOT TO MENTION ALL THE FREEBIES GIVEN OUT WHEN OUR SCHOOLS ARE I TURMOIL, OUR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM STINKS, OUR ROADS ARE OVERCROWDED - CHILD PREDATORS ARE WALKING THE STREETS - THERE'S GOT TO BE SOMETHING ELSE THEY CAN WORK HARD FOR OTHER THAN ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. ALL WE, THEY, HAVE TO DO IS ENFORCE THE LAWS ALREADY ON THE BOOKS, THE WHEEL DOESN'T HAVE TO BE REINVENTED. ANYONE ELSE AGREE?

Hi, I'm planning on joining the Navy after HS, but I still intend to go to college and get a degree perhaps while I'm in the military or after I get out... or a little bit of both? Would there be any advantages to taking the SAT?

Any Advice??

thanks.

I think that Bush did believe Iraq had WMD's as well as most of the Dems and the Clinton administration. Whether they did at the time of invasion is debateable but then again I am not privy to all information as well as the American people. So I dont go for the whole "Bush lied" game. Do I believe he is ignoring the will of the American people? Yes! Do I believe it is a no win situation? Yes! Now I do believe that there are evil people in this world who hate us and no matter what we do terrorism will always be a threat. It is something we should always guard against and sometimes take an offensive action when all other means have been exhausted. The life of every American citizen is precious and should never be taken advantage of. Although I do not agree the path we are taking I still love this country and what it can represent. This country use to be a beacon of hope to the world and maybe it can be that again.
Your thoughts?

I work for a company who has a rotating Sunday shift from 12pm-7pm. At the end of the week this totals out to 38hours. If I was hired in fulltime, doesnt the company have to schedule me at least 40hours/week? Anyone who gets the Sunday shift automatically loses some hours for the week. The company says we can make up the lost time on our own. Basically i want to know if it is manditory for a company to schedule you 40hrs if they hire you fulltime.

Are we polarizing ourselves here on YA? I first got on here for a true political discussion and I find myself always being pulled into a blind loyalty to my preconceived notions, not willing to question them in the face of opposition. I have also looked at my contacts/fans and they are individuals who will agree with me on nearly every issue. Im not sure if this is how it is for anyone else. I wanted to have a real q and a with people who also had a different opinion and were willing to explain, rationally, there position. I find that rarely here.

Am I just in the wrong place?

They fear that the price of these talks would be U.S recognition of Iran's dominant role in the Persian Gulf.

the same as the Al Qaida that were responsible for 911.
They are not the same. He is still trying to use the 911-Iraq connection card. How sad.

Al Qaida in Iraq didn't emerge until 2004. While it is inspired by Osama bin Laden's violent ideology, there's no evidence that the Iraq organization is under the control of the terrorist leader or his top aides, who are believed to be hiding in tribal regions of Pakistan bordering Afghanistan.

Moreover, the two groups have been divided over tactics and strategy

While U.S. intelligence and military officials view al Qaida in Iraq as a serious threat, they say the main source of violence and instability is an ongoing contest for power between majority Shiites and Sunnis, who dominated Saddam Hussein's regime.

Bush must be listening to Rush Limbaugh

My 15 yr old son and I just relocted to another State from Hawaii. 5 months now, and my son has managed to get arrested on 2 separate occassions for status offenses. One was for curfew violation and the other, possession of marijuana and a firearm. My son has never been in trouble and has friends that have snuck him out of the house to tag abondoned buildings in the most crime infested areas. Unfortunately, the Juvenile Justice System here has not been of the highest rating Nationwide. There have been reports of child neglect and abuse. As a mother, I know my child can use some behavior modification, but to be locked in a cage is not going to solve this problem. What can a mother suggest to the courts to ensure that her child will not become a menace to society without being locked behind bars?

even a RudyG and FredT ticket for the Republicans could only muster 25% at best counting all their family members plus the ones in jail who are all former RudyG appointments.
a Green Party ticket of John McCain and Mitt Romney would do better than any Republican ticket in 2008.
What are your thoughts?

The Bush Administration's reckless contempt for the rule of law has broken new ground.

First Dick Cheney claimed he wasn't part of the executive branch. Now President Bush wiped away a prison sentence for his crony and convicted perjurer Scooter Libby.

Remember, Clinton perjured himself over sex in the oval office, Scooter perjured himself over things that deeply affected America.

For the past six years, Republicans have showed us no argument is too ridiculous and no action too reckless to avoid accountability. Despite Libby's conviction by a jury of his peers for lying to the FBI and obstructing justice, Dick Cheney called Scooter Libby "one of the most capable and talented individuals" he has ever known.

President Bush went even farther –by giving his friend Scooter Libby a 'get out of jail free card' for his crimes.

Congress is holding hearings this week to ask tough questions about the President's role and hold them accountable.

It's time to hold Bush-co accountable.

If the President feels bad about the nation's opinion of him—a meager 25% of those surveyed in a June Gallup poll approve of Bush's performance—all he needs to do is pick up that same poll and keep reading. According to Gallup, just 14% of people express confidence in the current Congress. That's the lowest measure in the 34 years Gallup has been tracking government institutions.

I can't tell you how many times I've seen people railing against Christians who support the war in Iraq and the death penalty -- they say such Christians are the foulest of hypocrites and repeat the commandment "Thou shalt not kill." Don't these people realize the same God who prohibited murder also prescribed a penalty for those who broke that commandment?

"If a man taketh the life of another man, then by man shall his life be taken." Exodus 21:12, straight out of the Law of Moses

Isn't this a perfect example of the ignorant criticizing that which they don't understand (or don't care to)?

I recently sold an item on ebay and the buyer decided that he didn't like the item and put a false claim into paypal for return of his money. Paypal granted him his money stating that I only said it was used not gently used or some other special word they wanted to hear. I would love to sue the crap out of paypal for going against what an auction is all about. If someone is buying something, they can ask a question about the item. Its used for god sakes. Has anyone sued paypal yet?

I'm a bit confused about the insinuation that Jews control the media. If we control anything (judging statistically speaking) it would be health care and finance. I'm Jewish and my parents would be devastated if I wasted my college degree on journalism . . . how did this rumor start?

I am an adament independent. The one thing I have noticed from watching these posts is the fact that most Dems are willing to embrace change/new ideas that could help our country, while most GOPs are so focused on bashing any new idea that hasn't come from the president. GOPs seem content sticking to slogans and concepts conceived by the GOP leadership. I see a complete lack of any independent thought.

Shouldn't we listen to the Iraqi government?
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070709/pl_n...

Sure there are problems, but if the Iraqi government thinks that there will be a civil war if we leave then should we just abandon the Iraqi people?

So not to mention the harm these people might cause to us later on, they will also cause immediate harm in the area.

If people are so worried about these peoples rights when they live here and get searched in an airport, why don't they care that if we leave the Iraqi people are going to be in a much worse situation than they already are in.

That's not the whole question , that's all that would fit .

Since 9/11 , Liberals have been bashing our government for not being ready enough , alert enough , and for not alerting our citizens of a possible attack . Now we can argue all day long about how the current administration had only 8 months to grasp everything Clinton couldn't grasp in 8 YEARS , but let's save that for another question .
But here's the point ......Each and every time our government tells us of information they have about a possible attack the Liberals not only downplay it , ho ho ho , pffft , no , they instead claim that the government is fear-mongering for alerting them ????
Now we just may be facing a new round of attacks and if Liberals continue their insolent ways and their ambivalence , then just how can we expect any of them to report anything suspicious and out of the ordinary ? Everything's a big joke to them . Everything's got to be a conspiracy .
