Politics & Government - 17 July 2007

Just wondering what happens then? Would the military have to disobey its commander and chief? Or the people would have to take over? Not saying that its going to happen, or needs to happen, just kind of wondering what would happen if the constitution is ultimately ignored.

I am planning to join the Navy soon, after completing my BA degree. I plan on completing OCS after I finish BUD/S and am assigned to a team. Im told that I will come out of Basic as an E-3. I know that it is my duty to fufill the orders given to me by my superior enlisted men and officers but I'm curious as to those below me. Are we all the same below a petty officer or do E-2s and E-1s follow my orders just as I would follow an E-4s and above? Also, how does it work for those of the same rank (Id assume its based on age or time in service...)? Normally I'd ask my recruiter but he is out of town for training this week. Thanks in advance for the help.

to protect our homeland. Instead, we're talking about sending more over to IRAQ! WTF. This is pissing me off.

"Although we have discovered only a handful of individuals in the United States with ties to al Qaeda senior leadership since 9/11, we judge that al Qaeda will intensify its efforts to put operatives here," the report said.

"As a result, we judge that the United States currently is in a heightened threat environment," it said.

"What we're trying to remind people of is this is a real threat," he told reporters before the report was released. "This is not an attempt to divert."

I think it's a good way for the government to silence people with opinions and individual tastes, but I would like to see what others think.

Do you think it's time to pardon the two border agents who shot at the illegal drug dealer. And how about his 5 million

on defeating our enemy that we are fighting in Iraq and around the world?

I hear more about what we are doing wrong, how we are this and that and I hear little to nothing about helping us defeat the enemy.

I hear about how we need to leave Iraq and not fight who is there. There are some people attacking us, so why will the democrats not fight them there

Why didn't we just let the kings and governments control the entire economy, if we're willing to give it back to them now?

You have all of the power and resources you need to really solve, once and for all, a single problem.

What would it be and why?

My boyfriend is leaving for the marines next week for bootcamp. That is a whole 3 months....
I have lived w/ him for 2 years seeing him everyday. I need to put some positive thoughts in my head about this. I'm not really happy that he joined but I wil support him because he really wants to do this. I'm also afraid I will never see him much ever again because he will go live on a base very very far away from here. :(

They reported for work and was sent home without a reason and told they would ring him at home the following day. This person is a hard working & honest & has had staff problems making them put extra hours in to cover lack of staff

Are those the hours paid posters work? The few times I've come on during the evening the crowd seems more relaxed and less partisan.

Surely my MP should ask me, or a selection of the local community, whether we want a law to be passed. At the moment it seems like they just vote for what benefits them, not us.

Are their any rules on having to ask people in their constituency, or do they actually just vote as they like?

Can someone please tell me the logic behind the "partial-birth" abortion? I honestly cannot fathom how someone could agree that this is a resonable right that women should have.

What kind of message will we send to the world when our "leaders" (if you can call them that) cause our boys to lose this war? Will it be a message that we are a patsy nation and we never follow though with what we say we are going to do? Or will it be a message that we are so concerned with being nice to everyone that we can't win a war? Will we be able to defend our homeland when they start attacking us because the terrorists set up shop in Iraq and start spreading propaganda about how we went in and disrupted the region and left, and now we need to be wiped off the face of the Earth? Who will be to blame in that case?

I'd like the opinion of said "TRUE" christians if there are any left like myself.

Few among us have unblemished records. However, when applied to the immigrant, it seems no matter what the circumstance, no matter how long he has been here or how hard she has worked, they are to be judged by one standard only: How they got here.

"Our enemies hate us for our freedoms."
"Christians love the sinner but hate the sin."
We use these words to reinforce a prejudicial viewpoint, but in almost every case we use them with no thought to their true meaning.

What do you true christians think?
