Do you think the military will take someone who has broken his spine? They did not when I took the physical to go to Viet Nam? And, I do NOT collect disability. I support myself.

My lease went up at the end of May. I called the office and told them I would be out by May 30th and faxed her a form to fill out for my new landlord. She did. I was out by the 15th of May. Then, they leased the apartment out right away. Now they say I owe them an extra month of rent because I didn't write them and tell them I would not be renewing my lease! Is this legal? I live in MS if that helps. I would appreciate any help you can offer.

Because, according to virtually every economist, the economy is very good.

We have full employment (look up the definition), the dow jones is constantly hitting record highs, consumer spending is up, etc. The only negative factor I am aware of is the deficit, which is largely due to the necessary war, and that is only ONE factor involved.


Please tell me what fictitious formula, and what factors you are using to come to this ridiculous conclusion.



Note: Foreclosures (I'm sure a dozen of you will still mention them) are not a measure of the economy. There is a reason there are a lot of foreclosures, and it has nothing to do with the economy, it has to do with lenders giving out loans higher than people should have been qualified for (simplified explanation). But even after you put into account all those particular loans, 25% more home loans were written, and only 10% of THEM have foreclosed.

They say "someone has to stay here" or "I'm a firefighter" or "I support the police but I'm not a cop"
What a bunch of baloney.
You all can't be Firefighters and the Police don't desperately need new cops.
As for the Vets who already served, we know that most con's on this site are not retired military (thank you for your service).
The fact is that bush needs more troops for the war in Iraq.
Not millions - just Thousands.
If they walked like they talked bush would have all the troops he needs and our guys in uniform would not be on their 3rd or 4th tour in Iraq.
The con's know that it takes more than lip-service to win a war,
but still the Military barely makes it's recruiting goals.
If they really cared the recruters would be turning people away.

"Of Liberty I would say that, in the whole plenitude of its existence, is unobstructed action according to our will. But Rightful Liberty is within limits drawn around us by the Equal Rights of others. And I do not add ‘within the limits of the law’, because the law is often but the Tyrants-will, and always so when it violates the Rights of an individual." Thomas Jefferson


"A government big enough to supply you with everything you need is a government big enough to take away everything that you have.... The course of history shows that as the government grows, liberty decreases." Thomas Jefferson


"The object and practice of Liberty lies in the limitation of Governmental power." General Douglas MacArthur

"Liberty has never come from Government. It is always come from the subjects of Government. The history of Liberty is the history of resistance." Woodrow Wilson


"Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do and how you do it."

Come on Hillary. How about we let the MILITARY run the war, and not a politician who has never seen a day of war in her life.

I'll tell you what. If Hillary spends just a month in Iraq, we can listen to her ideas about the war. Until then, her viewpoint is just as valid as mine: completely irrelevant. i don't know the situation in Iraq, I've never been there, so I let the Generals who have decide.

Anyone else find this amusing?

Re Asking this question from earlier. Serious question here. I read many of these questions and comments daily that blast the military are regurgitating ideology about what we should and should not do. Yet hardly any of the ones speaking like this has the courage or seems the intelligence to join the military. So why is it that so many who know so little about what it is like to be a service member claim to know what is best for those who truly serve.

Here is a REAL INTERVIEW with an illegal Mexican at a protest march in Texas.

Below is a good example of a discussion with a master of circular logic. Don't be logical, don't respect the truth or your adversary, just say what you think makes a new case when the previous case gets too difficult to defend. On the streets of downtown Houston, May 1, 2006.

Jim Moore reporting for a Houston TV station:

Jim: Juan, I see that you and thousands of other protesters are marching in the streets to demonstrate for your cause. Exactly what is your cause and what do you expect to accomplish by this protest?
Juan: We want our rights. We will show you how powerful we are. We will bring Houston to its knees!
Jim: What rights?
Juan: Our right to live here legally. Our right to get all the benefits you get.
Jim: When did you come to the United States?
Juan: Six years ago. I crossed over the border at night with seven other friends.
Jim: Why did you come?
Juan: For work. I can earn as much in a month as I could in a year in Mexico. Besides, I get free health care, our Mexican children can go to school free, if I lose my job I will get Welfare, and someday I will have the Social Security. Nothing like that in Mexico!
Jim: Did you feel badly about breaking our immigration laws when you came?
Juan: No! Why should I feel bad? I have a right to be here. I have a right to amnesty I paid lots of money for my Social Security and Green Cards.
Jim: How did you acquire those documents?
Juan: From a guy in Dallas. He charged me a lot of money too.
Jim: Did you know that those documents were forged?
Juan: It is of no matter. I have a right to be here and work.
Jim: What is the "right" you speak of?
Juan: The right of all Aliens. It is found in your Constitution. Read it!
Jim: I have read it, but I do not remember it saying anything about rights for Aliens.
Juan: It is in that part where it says that all men have Alien rights, like the right to pursue happiness. I wasn't happy in Mexico, so I came here.
Jim: I think you are referring to the declaration of Independence and that document speaks to unalienable rights .. Not Alien rights.
Juan: Whatever.
Jim: Since you are demanding to become an American citizen, why then are you carrying a Mexican Flag?
Juan: Because I am Mexican.
Jim: But you said you want to be given amnesty to become a US citizen.
Juan: No. This is not what we want. This is our country, a part of Mexico that you Gringos stole from us. We want it returned to its rightful owner.
Jim: Juan, you are standing in Texas. After wining the war with Mexico, Texas became a Republic, and later Texans voted to join the USA. It was not stolen from Mexico.
Juan: That is a Gringo lie. Texas was stolen. So was California, New Mexico and Arizona It is just like all the other stuff you Gringos steal, like oil and babies. You are a country of thieves.
Jim: Babies? You think we steal babies?
Juan: Sure. Like from Korea and Vietnam and China. I see them all over the place. You let all these foreigners in, but try to keep us Mexicans out. How is this fair?
Jim: So, you really don't want to become an American citizen then.
Juan: I just want my rights! Everyone has a right to live, work, and speak their native language wherever and whenever they please. That's another thing we demand. All signs and official documents should be in Spanish . Teachers must teach in Spanish. Soon, more people here in Houston will speak Spanish than English. It is our right!
Jim: If I were to cross over the border into Mexico without proper documentation, what rights would I have there?
Juan: None. You would probably go to jail, but that's different.
Jim: How is it different? You said everyone has the right to live wherever they please
Juan: You Gringos are a bunch of land grabbing thieves. Now you want Mexico too? Mexico has its rights. You Gringos have no rights in Mexico. Why would you want to go there anyway? There is no free medical service, schools, or welfare there for foreigners such as you. You cannot even own land in my country. Stay in the country of your birth.
Jim: I can see that there is no way that we can agree on this issue. Thank you for your comments.
Juan: Viva Mexico!

Pass this along to every American citizen in your address books and to every representative in the state and federal government. If you choose to remain uninvolved, do not be amazed when you no longer have a nation to call your own nor anything you have worked for left since it will be "redistributed" to the activists while you are so peacefully staying out of the "fray". Check history, it is full of nations/empires that disappeared when its citizens no longer held their core beliefs and values. One person CAN make a difference. One plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one........
The battle for our secure borders and immigration laws that actually mean something, however, hasn't even begun.

The protective order was by his current wife. She dropped the protective order and they live together again after a short seperation. We have three children and I have sole custody of them all. We have been divorced for 5 years and he has a history of domestic violence as well a bi polar disorder that I do not believe he is getting treatment for. I made an appointment with a counselor for he and I to figure out what needs to be done and I sent him a certified letter saying that he must attend this meeting or he will not be seeing the children until there is some kind of satisfactory result that will give me assurance that my sons will be safe in his home and in his care. He called the counselor's office and refused the meeting. What more can I do to solve the problem? If there are any legal mi8nds or anyone who deals with things like this in a personal or professional manner, please advise me.

When a telemarketer calls you, and you ask for their name and employee ID number, isn't there a law that states they must give it to you? I just received my fourth telemarketing call on my cell phone, after requesting to be put on the Do Not Call list, FROM my cell phone carrier, and the man refused to give me his ID number. I thought they had to give it to you if you asked- or is it just government agencies that have to?

U.S. District Judge John D. Bates dismissed the case on jurisdictional grounds and said he would not express an opinion on the constitutional arguments. Bates dismissed the case against all defendants: Cheney, White House political adviser Karl Rove and former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby.

----

Armitage is the person who leaked the information - its well known now that he cut a deal with the prosecutors to help them get Libby. The prosecutors had no real case since her classification was not considered secret when he outed her - but he's the one that did it and they don't sue him?

Is it because he was a Clinton hold over?

I am going to be graduating college with a bachelors degree in Criminal Justice. I am considering law enforcement as a career, however I am thinking about the Coast Guard as well. Does the Coast Guard have Military Police, like the Army and Navy does? If so, could anyone who knows about the coast guard or is in the coast guard tell me about them? Also, how hard would it be to be placed in that law enforcement position, and would my degree help me?

Thank you all very much
