...my resume is like the picture of me. This company expected me to change it in order to hand me an application for a job. I think this is wrong. This company may take an investigation on what I said on my resume but not right to request me to type every details what I was doing between two jobs. I felt like they expected me to wear make up and take my picture again to please them. It's ridiculous, isn't it? If you want to verify. Please call 1-888-410-6471 and pretend you are applying jobs with your resume which have a gap of time between two jobs.

"The provision of the Constitution giving the war-making power to Congress was dictated, as I understand it, by the following reasons. Kings had always been involving and impoverishing their people in wars, pretending generally, if not always, that the good of the people was the object. This, our Convention understood to be the most oppressive of all Kingly oppressions; and they resolved to so frame the Constitution that no one man should hold the power of bringing this oppression upon us. " Abraham Lincoln

It is amazing how different same party members can be! And I agree with President Lincoln

My 13 year old sister in law and her friends decided to break into a rival girlfriend's house and vandalize the girl's room and have a party while the girl and her family were away on vacation. I know this is horrible, and i cant believe what are kids are doing these days. The father of the family has decided to press charges. I was wondering what she could be charged with maximum to minimum, and what the penalties are with in the law, maximum to minimum? thanks

p.s. we live in Texas yikes!

Yes or No

There were two attempts to kill Osama when Clinton was in office.

Once they had an aerial drone that had him in the sights - but the time it would have taken to mobilize and attack it would have been too late.

The second time, they had information as to his exact location and Clinton asked for the go ahead from Congress to kill him.

It was the Republican's who blocked that action and did not allow it to happen.

Also I believe that Clinton was the first one to start up a terrorist watch.

So regardless of what he did with a cigar on free time - he did try to kill Osama prior to 9/11.

And if was so important to kill him, why didn't Bush look at that significance and the intellegence coming in on the coming attacks. Wouldn't that be your first priority as President - to first look at all immediate threats to our National Security?

There's news articles out there that predict the Al Qaeda is stronger now and has been rebuilding since 9/11. Some officials also predict possible terrorist attacks. Why is this happening after our years in Iraq and all we have invested on the war on terror?

A democrat votes for things because they are tricked into thinking it will give them a easier and better life; a liberal is the person tricking them.

If the Christian coalition took over the U.S. government and started enforcing Christial rules on everyone, would we start having the same problems here that we see in the middle east...bombings, riots, mass killings?

How long would it take for the riots to start?

my internet polls show Ron Paul winning both my Republican polls.
Many suggest McCain/Romney run on the Green Party ticket.
Some have suggested RudyG and FredT run on the Libertarian Party ticket.
Almost all have said they would never again vote for any Republican at any time.
So all of this information leads to a Clinton/Gore victory but how to reach 79%?

Is it because they think their Presidunce will openly make moves on James Dale Guckert (a.k.a. Jeff Gannon), the Homosexual male escort that has visited the White House over a hundred times during the Bush administration? Or is this yet another attempt to divert attention from REAL issues?

It is time for the violation system on here to be booted into touch? I know both these users had disagreements with others and their own opinions, but we are all adults and can take a bit of fierce debate surely. Using Forums is a hobby for some people and they are losing this hobby because of a few people sending too many violation notices. Would it do any good if we all emailed Y/A to complain and have the system changed?

If the Iraq War has been all about oil, then just where is the oil? Why are we not tapping it, drilling it, piping it, shipping it, and using it? Where is all this oil? And why do gas prices in the western nations do nothing but slowly rise?

Since other than human greenhouse gas emissions, there are no remaining explanations for the recent acceleration in global warming which haven't been disproven:

And this:

Former Senator John Edwards won MoveOn.org Political Action’s poll on the climate crisis which asked, “Which candidate’s position on dealing with the climate crisis do you prefer?” Of the field of eight Democratic hopefuls, Edwards received 33% of the total votes cast–more than twice the support of the next two candidates, Rep. Kucinich and Senator Clinton, who each garnered 15.7%.

MoveOn member vote results:

Edwards 33.10%
Kucinich 15.73%
Clinton 15.71%
Obama 15.03%
Richardson 12.60%
Biden 3.06%
Dodd 3.01%
Gravel 1.78%

http://moveon.org/press/pr/release071107.html

Edwards' plan is to reduce the USA's greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by the year 2050. So, who's voting for Edwards?

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! CPI was in the double digits then.

It's 2.5% now......

Oh, wait a minute, you mean by allowing the economy to reinvest its own earnings, we no longer depended nearly as much on the Fed to fuel growth, thus freeing the Fed to focus exclusively on inflation, resulting in inflation being cut to under 3%???

You mean they were RIGHT????

Politics is subjective because it is a set of political values applied to a set of facts, typically in some discipline. The FACTS on stem cell research are pretty concrete, but you apply different values to those facts and come up with different conclusions. The FACTS on the economy are equally concrete, and if you can find a reason why it's bad that we have rising incomes, rising income mobility, a demographic shift toward the upper end of the wealth spectrum (while the already rich are indeed getting richer, wherever you set the bar to define 'rich' people are moving above that line faster than ever), low unemployment and low inflation, all after a record-long series of interest rate hikes, go ahead and say that those things are "bad" but that that's what's happening cannot be debated.
