Politics & Government - 6 August 2007

The GAO says there are 250,000 weapons missing.
This seems to be the biggest blunder since we came up missing thousands of tons of artillery ammuntiion which has been being used to make the IEDs killing our troops.
Our troops are for the most part the bravest and hardest working of America youth. But thier leaders are the same political appointees as the rest of this administration.
We could reduce the number of Generals by 50% and still have too many.

What's your take on Obama?

Fellow service members, does it irritate you when you see military spouses giving advice on military issues when clearly they don't have a freakin clue what they are talking about? Such as:

1) ASVAB scores and testing (If you have never taken it how can you tell people how to study for it or how to interpret their scores. Word of mouth need not apply.)
2) The Red Cross (Stop telling people to contact them for everything. They are there for emergencies, not to collect child support, fix PCS problems etc..)
3) Contact your recruiter. (Duh, what type of answer is that? Maybe the person asking the question wanted an unbiased answer. Of course they know to ask their recruiter.)
By all means, I am not dogging military spouses. But being married to a person in the military doesn't make you an expert on military issues.
Anyone agree?

It seems like that's what we're getting, but no one is openly advocating it. I realized the lobbies are behind it, but I'm wondering if any individuals on YA favor corporate statism? If so, please explain.

Can enforcement personnel secretly go through your home while you are away?
Is there any truth to this?

I was thinking this sounded more like China, North Korea, or the former Soviet Union.

I recieved a dog bite almost a year ago and hired an attorney quickly as the owner of the dogs was not willing to compensate me for my injuries. The owner also refused to give out their homeowner's insurance information, so I had to get an attorney to force them to give it up. I have been recieving medical treatment for my injuries and have a nasty scar on my breast. My attorney wants me to meet with them and the Insurance company to show them my injury in person. I have never heard of this being done before and I don't know if this a smart move on my attorney's part. Plus, I am very self conscious of the way my breast looks and don't like the idea of exposing myself to strangers. To my knowledge no settlement or agreement to do so has been put forth. Is this normal? What should I do?

why are so many people so willing to believe that his only interest is national security when he demands to authorization to wiretap without a warrant?

I guess most people believe that it's ok for a terrorist to walk across the border as long as he doesn't phone ahead and make reservations.

Why is it that some of the same people that censure Bill Clinton for his affair with Monica Lewinsky also support Rudy Giuliani, even though he also had an affair during his tenure as Mayor and later left his wife to marry his mistress.

Now I'm not talking about the perjury and obstruction charges that followed Clinton during his presidency. I'm talking about people that say Clinton is immoral because he had an affair, but they don't say the same about Giuliani.

Before I went on holiday I left my dog with a neighbout who said they would look after the dog when I came back I could not contact the neighbour by phone they did not answer their phone and when I knocked on the door the owner of the property said that the neighbour had moved 1 week ago I was unable to contact the neighbour I gave dog to and he has disappeared!
I went to the police and they said that there was nothing I could do as I gave them the dog!
What if it was a child you gave to someone to look after and they never returned it would it be the same or if a car rental place rented a car to you and you never gave it back would this not be a crime also?

Can someone tell me if this is a crime surely it is as yes I gave the person the dog but to look after and not keep so are the police saying the dog is worth less than other things?
I am in the united kingdom please enlighten me with laws regaring something like this, the police did not even take my name or anything???

I want to do a background check on a person but have found I'll have to pay. I saw one website that advertised free but then I had to go through one of those things where you have to purchase another product. Anyway I was wondering if there's anywhere where I can do a background check and not pay anything. Just a simple check.
