Hello everyone! I just wanted to ask you all a question if I may. I work around a lot of men and woman that were once or still are in the Military. I have this friend that has been telling me that they'll be deployed for a total of two years which is something that I've never heard of. When I asked the Military young men and women that I work with they said that at the most has deployed young men and woman for no more than a year and a few months. But when I asked her again she still stuck to her story of two years. Is she lying?

The real conspiracy is what the government wants you to believe. THINK ABOUT IT... What does the government have to hide if they won't release videotapes recording looking directly toward the pentagon and where it got "hit by a plane"?

Why did we recover a hi-jackers PAPER PASSPORT from wreckage and NOT the nearly indestructible plane recorders?

WHY were there no bodies found where flight 93 supposedly crashed?

The only people smoking the green stuff are the people that are living in denial and want to sit in their safe little box of ignorance. The people that actually care are the ones that are not gonna stop asking questions.

And for the record, I don't smoke anything.

I have just returned from a parish meeting where an open letter of support with 114 signatures had been posted by the councils principal engineer as "Supporting Information" even though it had missed the cut off date for comments and petitions etc.

Furthermore the letter was compiled by the parish chairmans wife and not everybody had been approached and seemed to be somewhat selective and covert. The principal engineer has allowed this to be included and I am worried that this misleading information will be used at a local forum and may influence members of the executive committee.

Incidently the principal engineer is being investgated for forwarding my personal and sensitive e-mails to the parish chairman.

Any views

The war supporters are parroting the line that the troop surge is just now in place. Assuming for the moment that all the additional soldiers are finally there, my question is whether the buildup has been linear or concave. That is, is whatever that happened in the past few weeks to complete the escalation actually significant or did the vast bulk of the surge occur early on and whatever happened recently just minor additions around the edges? There is an obvious motivation for the administration to draw out for as long as possible the surge being complete: whenever things are going bad they can just say that the surge has not yet been completed in order to deflect criticism. Sure it is a cynical view, but with this administration's track record I would not be surprised in the least if something along these lines were true. I have no idea of the actual numbers or facts on the ground so any help would be appreciated.

How do I get an eviction order from the court to get my sister out of my house which she is currently staying?
She moved in to stay with me since she does not have a place to stay, wasn't even an occupant in my house to start with...
I really want her out of my house and she's refusing to do so. Can I just call the police to get rid of her or do I really need to go through that much trouble? Please advice...

I was NEVER in favor of Gun Control and I am more in favor of EVERYONE having a gun now that the enemy is coming to our shores. Thoughts?

WASHINGTON (AP) - Al-Qaida is using its growing strength in Pakistan and Iraq to plot attacks on U.S. soil, heightening the terror threat facing the United States over the next few years, intelligence agencies concluded in a report unveiled Tuesday.

At the same time, the intelligence analysts worry that international cooperation against terrorism will be hard to sustain as memories of Sept. 11 fade and nations' views diverge on what the real threat is.

Everyone knows how anti-marijuana the US was in the 1950's. So if we made a figurative comparison, let's say if, in the 1950's, the US was 1000 yards away from legalizing marijuana, how close would we be today in 2007?

There are quite a few articles devoted to how the Harry Potter series will end and the overwhelming MAJORITY of people want to see Harry defeat Voldemort.

Why don't the majority of Liberals in the USA want us to defeat Al Qaeda?

I have heard a couple of pro-illegals say that everyone of us came from illegal immigrants. Is that the case with Blacks that were forced to come here to become slaves??? Were my ancestors illegals also??? I really want to see how this is answered, since pro-illegals have all the answers!!! Give it up!!! Illegal means illegal!!!

I had a friend who lived with terminal cancer for 2 years.

The last 4 months of her life she wouldn't have eaten anything without marijuana.

As it helped to curb her nausea so she could hold food down.

Can we agree on this aspect of legalizing marijuana use for medical purposes?
Prescribed by a doctor?

so many people in this country who had the privelage of being born into their citizenship, who haven't had to do ANYTHING to earn it, think they deserve their citizenship any more or less than the illegal immigrants who are crossing our borders? As long as they're making a significant, positive contribution to our society who gives a &@*$ whether or not they have some piece of paper that says they're an American,and on the flip side of that, why should legal American citizens who make a conscious choice not to pull their own weight be treated any differently than illegal immigrants who do the same?

I seems the phrase "God Bless America" became a commercial slogan for politicians, especially the President, to win popular ratings rather than patriotic symbol. What do you think?

Recently, I had gone to the Police Station to report a problem and the Officer I was speaking with had his sharp eyes right on me like he was a hawk out on a desert and me being "lunch," which totally made me feel very nervous and I'm not good with people meaning I'm a very shy person and very reserved so I felt extra nervous. This is pretty normal reaction right? My best friend and I were talking the other day that Police Officers are trained to detect a person from lying to not lying by the person's body language. If I'm shy and nervous in general and shifts my body or look away when the Officer stares into my eyes would you think that I was lying? because I wasn't. I did these things because I've never been in that situation before and since I'm a reserved person not sure how I was suppose to react to his stares. I wanted to say the word "Awkward" towards him, but I didn't. My "Q" is why do Police Officers have to stare like that? Makes me feel uncomfortable and awkward.

I was fired during my year probationary period with about 2 weeks to go.
I worked in a chicken plant for the USDA. We worked elbow to elbow with the plant employies,both sides of you no more than 12 inches away,with knives.Green card or not convicts welcome (tyson) in deep south. The plant employies don't like the inspectors. kinda like prison guards. The gossip,fights & total crap is sicking after awhile with the same peaple everyday. I am a returned peace corps volunteer and try to be polite to everyone. inspectors can't accoaciate outside the plant w/personal & vice versa. I got on the wrong side of the plant pimp, and I think he got one his bitches to warm up to me. It was refreshing to work with a new person who was nice for a change. Next week I get called to HR for sexual harassment.I used my non-competitive eligblity to get the job.I'm thinking of a 2 tour of PC, getting new noncompetitive status & appling to a differnt agency. Will I be redflagged or on a unhirable list??????
