How does having to get a warrant within 30 days after the wire-tap interfere with the fight against terrorism?

Last month I joined the Navy with the rating of IT. I was told that because the position requires a top secret security clearance I may be given a polygraph test. I was completely truthful about everything except my past drug use. Up until a couple months ago I frequently smoked pot. I was never caught by the police, school, sent to rehab or any other situation which would show up on my record. I have also passed all drug tests given to me and will remain drug free for the remainder of my enlistment. The only reason I did not mention my old habit was because I was told by my recruiter not to. Are there any active or former sailors who could tell me what the likely hood is that I am actually given a polygraph? If I am, what type of questions will come up?

i know my roomate stole my laptop, when she suddenly moved out so she wouldnt have to pay for damages to the apartment. I dont think calling the cops will do anything, bc its in her new apartment and they probably wont look through her house to find it right? My room was unlocked (my fault i know) but no one else lives there beside us, and the probablilty of getting robbed is never heard of there. She knows my schedule and she is mad at me for getting mad at her for not paying for the damages. And plus she thinks i stole something of hers-- which i did not. Is there anything i can do to get the cops to go into her house and car?

While legislative views on maorality may be included in crimes such as murder rape and other violent crimes they may inappropriatly extend to other of areas of our lives such as our sexual perception and the use of intoxicants how far into the private lives of citizens may government sactioned views of morality inrude? Do you believe that crisis in over criminalization exists in the USA

It seems with our checks and balances system, nothing gets done, and particularly, the will of the people is squashed. And corruption is rampant.

So many pressing issues, and none are delt with. Whether it be Iraq, illegal immigration, the economy, or whatever, nothing is done. None of the politicians will do anything, they are lazy and corrupt, and frankly useless. It seems like whoever goes into Washington turns into a stupid bureaucrat. Are you guys tired of this? How does our government get back on track? Will it always be like this?

This happens every day, and it's normal for many. When I ask "why?", I'm told to quit being greedy and shut up. I'm called one of life's lottery winners because I put myself through college and now make a decent living.

I Recently Joined the U.S. Air Force and since im currently a Resident I can't be an Officer untill 3 years from now when i become a Citizen.

I also Signed a 4 Year Contract with the AF.

here are my Options:

The Air Force also offers accelerated promotion for those who agree to enlist for six years Active Duty. Under this program, enlistees staart basic training as an Airman Basic (E-1), are promoted to Airman (E-2) upon graduation from basic, and are then advanced to Airman First Class (E-3) 20 weeks after graduation from basic training, or when they graduate technical (MOS) school , whichever occurs first.

So upgrade to the 6 year contract and be released in 3-4 years after i become a Citizen and join AFROTC or go to the AF Academy

but i dont know the difference between the 2, all i know is that the end result of going to the Academy or ROTC is the same thing at the end.

I do know that in the academy you cant have kids or be married, is this also got AFROTC?

Here is a curious thought.

What if there were new rules?
What if a person could claim to be a citizen of the planet earth?
And as such be entitled to go any ware on the planet they choose, when ever they choose.
What if Australia became was my back yard and Briton was the end of my block.
If people wanted world peace, then what if all the activists renounced all there citizen rights to any one specific country, to become citizens of the planet earth?

Where would you send them?
The planet is the birth right of every human, so legally they would have every right to be anywhere they want to be.
And if they were to choose Canada or Rome as there home, then who could say they were wrong?
And what if the peace activists, said screw all the benefits that go with being a citizen of one peace of land, like old age pension and E.I and every thing else.

What if they chose to, just be, and relay on the kindness of there brothers and sisters, which now would be you and me and every other human, on the planet earth?

We could not put them in jail, because then as citizens of the planet earth, by birth, we would be violating them.

And they have committed no crime, other than to reserve the right to live anywhere they choose in the world, and denounce all war, as in theory they would be killing there own brothers and sisters, which is it’s self a crime, No one could legally force them to fight in our wars.

No one could kick them out as they are not squatters, but people of the planet earth claiming citizenship of the entire planet.
And since they are not asking for any benefits like old age pension or E.I. in theory they may not even have to pay taxes.

Like claming a number for a name or like Prince claiming a symbol for a name.

Claiming the rights to the entire planet and all in it, as there birth right, as people or individuals of the planet earth could I believe be done.

It may sound futuristic like something out of star trek; but once we entered space and called our self’s human to what ever alien form we may meet, we would have to call earth our home planet and by doing that we claim the entire planet as our home and birth right.

Not just an address like Canada, Russia, Rome, France.
How is that for a bit of Si-Fi?
You heard it heard first folks….well no actually, I guess the Bible said it first, or some idea very similar. LOL, legally a person would have every right to denounce all citizenship other than the citizenship of the entire planet earth…right?
Could it ever happen?? Could the peace mongers screw the entire world up and the legal system by doing this, I think so, and I think it could possibly lead to world peace.
What do you think?

Hahahahaha! I love the last line. I guess there are a few Republicans who understand what the far-reaching consequences of the Bush Administration will be when Hillary is elected. Don't whine when it happens, Repubs. You made your bed, you will have to sleep in it.

"Republicans, he added, may come to regret the precedents that Bush is asserting.

"I tell my Republican friends that Hillary Clinton will be the president some day," Fein said. "They just don't get it."

If they see where their taxes are actually going, can they be cured of their disease ?
Or do they want socialism because they are lazy and want someone else to pay their bills ?

I asked a question related to this before, but I need a little more help. My fathe came over from Italy when he was three. Its been over 50 years, he has opened, owned and operated a legal company for over 20 of them. He has a house, married, obviously kids. He just is not sure if when he was younger (a child), he was ever made a citizen. He would like to know, but does not know where to go to check. He is a paranoid kinda person, afraid of gettin deported if he isnt. But he has never done anything wrong, so I keep telling him he won't be. He does have a legal SS# in his name, so I assume he is legal, perhaps naturalized when he was younger. We would just like to know where to go to check.

So what exactly am I getting out of being a military spouse?

It's hard finding a job. I am pursuing a degree and will get that soon, but, I've traveled and followed my husband around. I just hope he realizes that he's going to have to take care of me because I've dropped everything to follow him around.

I would have been independent if it wasn't for being married.

Does he understand the sacrifices I've made and is he going to support me?

Any advice from soldiers would be great on how they view this.

Personally, I'd send 5,000 Wookies down to the border equipped with Bronzium light armor and beam crossbows.

Then, I'd leave 250 Jawas and 250 Mandalorians all equipped with Sonic blasters in Reserve just in case.

If this was done, the border would no doubt be secured.

Are they more intelligent, more tolerant , more in touch than us dumb rednecks ? Most Democrats I know seem to copy and paste their ideas from Al Gores speeches and seem to think that everyone needs the government to us how to think and act .

to make sure its real (and it is real), but he refuses to accept the $100 bill and asks you to pay with a smaller bill, but the $100 is all you have...and he still refuses to accept the $100 bill, what happens next? does he have a right to decline the $100 bill? how would the cops handle the situtation? is it illegal for the attendent to decline the $100 bill? and lets assume he did have change to break the $100 bill and the $100 bill is real?
