I have heard that in the USAF your hair has to be one color.
My hair is black on bottom and blond on top.
Will they make me dye it before basic training?

Monday morning quarterbacks and conspiratists continually accuse the US military of being complacent and derelict in preventing Friendly Fire Incidents.

In my latest article, "The Fog of War" I take you on a realistic but hypothetical mission in Afghanistan. Will you make the right call? Can you decide in the split second whether to kill an enemy about to kill you or your teammates?

Can you choose correctly and quickly enough to kill the enemy and spare your colleagues?

No politics. Just the groundtruth from a combat veteran that has been to both fronts in the War on Terror, backed up with independent research and historical study.

I feel like writing a letter to my congress man & just keep sending them until something changes. I’m sick and tired of working MY butt off and being drugfree while people are using their welfare checks & NOT working so they can spend MY hard earned tax money on drugs.

So, in a sense, I am buying drugs for these drug addicted fiends. I am in NO WAY insinuating that everyone on welfare does drugs, but I am suggesting we drug test anyone who receives government help.

If I have to take a drug test to work, then anyone receiving my money should have to take a drug test to receive welfare checks.

I have seen this question/comment a couple times on here & people say 'what about the children?' & 'what about the money spent on testing?'

1st, if the parents are using the $ for drugs, the kids aren't seeing the $ in the first place. 2nd, lots of people would be denied b/c of the tests.

Lastly, being poor does not mean you can avoid/abuse the law by buying drugs & using them.

This is simply a widespread myth. A nice summary here:

"In the 1970s, there was a book in the popular press, a few articles in popular magazines, and a small amount of scientific speculation based on the recently discovered glacial cycles and the recent slight cooling trend from air pollution blocking the sunlight. There were no daily headlines. There was no avalanche of scientific articles. There were no United Nations treaties or commissions. No G8 summits on the dangers and possible solutions. No institutional pronouncements. You could find broader "consensus" on a coming alien invasion.

Quite simply, there is no comparison."

If you don't believe this, William Connelly has made a hobby of gathering everything that was written about global cooling at the time here:

Go see for yourself. Most scientists made no predictions. Can we stop perpetrating this myth now please?

I have a speeding ticket and have the following options from online.

Appearance date extension - the extension date will be 9/25/2007

Trail by Declaration Payment - The amount due is $$$. The extension will be 8/27/2007

Traffic school payment - The amount due is $$$. The traffic school due date is 10/01/2007

ITs confusing and i dont understand it. If I use the traffic school option does that mean i dont have to pay until 10/01/2007 or I ave to get traffic school done by then?

"The Gini coefficient is a measure of inequality of a distribution of income." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gini_coefficient

"A Gini index of 0 represents perfect economic equality, and 100 perfect inequality."

List of countries by income equality:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_income_equality

Go to that link, but I looked up some countries of interest:
China - 44.7
Brazil- 54
Canada- 32.6
U.S.- 40.6
South Africa - 57.8
Russia- 39.9
Sweden - 25
Japan- 24.9
France- 32.7

Well, I expected Sweden to be low and Brazil + South Africa to be high. But I didn't expect to find that we have a lesser income inequality than China. Regardless of politial beliefs, if you are unfamiliar with this statistically accurate economic index, did you actually expect China to be rated as having more economic inequality?

After your enlistment,did you consider or were you asked to join the American Legion and/or Veterans of Foreign Wars.Both are fine organizations with few "new" members;I'm wondering why the new veteran's aren't joining.

FYI: I'm a member of both.

Why are schools required to show the movie to students ?

If carbon dioxide levels went from 300-370, but may have been 700 before the last ice age because the samples only go back 70,000 years, why is this significant ?

If carbon dioxide is the biggest factor of the 1 degree climate change during the past 200 years , why did more than 60 % of the warming occur before the increased levels of Co2 ?

If the tide lines on the Florida coast haven't changed since the Spanish land deeds were drawn in the 1600's why did the movie show most of the earth flooded ?

Why did the graphs on the movie have no numbers ?

Why was the Sahara Desert used as an example when the climate hasn't changed for thousands of years ?

Apart from the million lives lost in Iraq and Afghanistan (note I have expanded the estimate from 180,000 to 240,000 to 650,000 to 850,000, because my clear thinking enables me to), Innocent people really need to worry as Government Agencies falsify, create evidence to link people to 'terrorism'?
There is tremendous evidence of a multitude of people who have been falsely imprisoned, isn't there? I mean...the link is clear, is it not?

There is ample evidence in todays world to make any clear thinker highly pessimistic, like me.

During recent floods in residential areas in the UK, bowsers (tanks of clean water) have been placed on street corners so residents could drink, wash etc. It has been reported that some person/people may have contaminated at least one water tank with noxious substances.

Can anyone explain this behaviour? What should happen to people who deliberately do such things?
