What can be done to stop the murder of us troops with Chinese weapons. China smiles with fists full of our dollars while Americans die from Chinese weapons, defective merchandise, and disgusting, poisonous food. What/who should we really be fighting?

Here's one thing: Boycott Chinese products and the Chinese Olympics.

I read often on this board comments like: "Why should I pay for healthcare for other people's children?" Or; "Poor people are poor because they are too stupid to earn a decent wage?" etc, etc, etc.
Comments like these go on and on. There has been a marked decline in empathy in the USA. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

We no longer have the luxury of watching an enemy build military and naval strength over years or decades. We no longer face uniformed divisions massing at the borders. We face instead a group of depraved murderers to whom nothing is off-limits, who fear no earthly retribution, who love and glorify death for its own end and who hate not only all that we do, but all that we are with a black bitterness that we cannot begin to imagine.

I saw a recruiter today and he said he can't guarantee me one, but I've spoken to a few friends and people I work with who are/used to be in the military, and they all said that was absolute BS. Can anyone shed some more light on this, maybe give me some tips for getting this position in writing? Thanks so much!

Are you a Democrat, Republican or Texan?

Here is a little test that will help you decide. The answer can be found by posing the following question:
You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, an Islamic Terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife, and charges at you.
You are carrying a Glock cal. 40, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?
*********************************
Democrat's Answer:

Well, that's not enough information to answer the question !!! Does the man look poor! Or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack? Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids?
What does the law say about this situation? Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children? Does he definitely want to kill me,
or would he be content just to wound me? Should I call 9-1-1?
Why is this street so deserted? We need to raise taxes, have paint and weed day and make this happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior.
*********************************
Republican's Answer:

BANG!

*********************************
Texan's Answer:

BANG !!! BANG !!! BANG !!! BANG !!! BANG !!! BANG !!! BANG !!! BANG !!! BANG !!!
BANG !!! BANG !!! BANG !!! BANG !!! BANG !!! BANG !!!

That's not what I heard him say.

Watch this video and still tell me that you hear him *wanting* to go to Pakistan.

I hear him saying that it was the biggest mistake in a generation for the Bush administration to let Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda slip away while they rushed to invade Iraq, a country that had nothing to do with 9/11.

Ok, basically I threatened someone over the phone that I knew where they lived, and I would do all kinds of bad stuff to them. Needless to say, I really lost my cool, and regretted it instantly after I calmed down. The guy called me back, and said he was taking a warrant out for my arrest, claimed to have it recorded, and claimed to have witnesses. This made me regret losing my cool even more. The state I live in its legal for a phone call to be tape recorded as long as one party has consented. Can I be arrested for this? I'm not sure if he has a recording, tbh. I doubt that part, but I certainly did say things that only a pyscho would say.

Ok so heres the deal my friend and her boyfriend they like kinda leave their relationship on the down low and her mom does not want her speaking to him at all cause she doesnt trust him or anything cause she doesnt know who he is. So i've been a good friend and i've helped her to communicate with him by 3 way calling for them or giving the other messages and what not well apparently she called the cops and they told her that its me the one thats talking to her but the thing is my number is private and isn't it against my privacy for the police to look in my calling history and stuff? If they looked at the calls she called my cell a lot more then i've called it so would it give the police any reason in looking in my calling history? It was completely both ways like i didn't constantly call her we both did it and now apparently her mom wants to press charges on me for harassing her daughter so can she really do that or is she probably just bsing me so i get scared????

If everybody around the world made a joint decision and united together and did not go to work. Do you think world leaders would then have to take its populations requests seriously. i.e Fix world hunger, stop pointless wars, give you an education not based on your financial status, provide houseing for the homeless, put more financial resources into medicine etc

So American citizens bought into a Democratic Congress- why haven't they accomplished a thing? I am not so illiterate about politics to believe that Bush has that much power? What the heck are they doing? IF Bush has that much power to hold a whole country at a stand still, sign me up for President!

I've come to agree. She is terrible. She must be stopped. Maybe if we all work together we can stop her. I got it, let's use the alphabet. ABC. Anybody but Clinton. Get it? Nobody'll vote for her if we put that on our bumper stickers.

We can't let Hillary win. And even if she doesn't end up running, we should keep hating her... because just her running is an insult to American values.

Bad Hillary....

Sorry, but you people are hillaryous...

HILLARYOUS.

HUH?

Say, tell me something good about your GOP candidates. Why do you spend more time knocking down Hillary than talking about what you want in YOUR candidates?

REALLY?! Tell me who you are voting FOR?

I won't tell you who I'm voting for, though you might think you can guess.

But start taking a positive spin on your politics.

Sell me on Republican policy.

I wanted to share how bad I feel for voting for Bush. When i voted for bush i
beleived he
was a uniter and not a divider. i beleived Bush would heal America. I beleived
bush would
keep us safe. I belived Bush stood for good Christian values. I believed so many
things
about Bush.
Now i see that America is so dvided. I see that Bush started a war in Iraq and
so many
Americans have died from his war. I see so much spending. I see
so many
tings that Bush has done to hurt America.
I am so sorry. Sometimes i actually can;t sleep at night. I think about how evil
Bush is and
how many lies he told us. I feel like a stupid idiot for trusting Bush. It makes
me cry when i
think of how many peole my age are dieing in Iraq.
I am so sorry to America. I was blind and I let Bush fool me. He is not a
Christian but he is
so evil. Only a evil person would hide ehind god and kill so many people in
Iraq. I am so
sorry and sad. I feel like i am responsible for Bush being president.

I believe America needs a good THIRD party, since both of our current parties seem to favor ILLEGAL immigration. What do you think? Is our country becoming the world's garbage can while traditional AMERICAN values are being trashed? Everyone's opinion is welcome here!

Please keep race, ethnicity and country of origin out of this debate. We are talking about AMERICAN LAW here. Americans first, Americans forever! Looking forward to hearing from you!

Why does this statement only apply to the American people.

If this is what our government is telling us, shouldn't they be held to the same standards?

Why scream executive privilege if there is nothing to hide?

I was recently seperated from the U.S. Navy. I was given an early level seperation RE-4 due to asthma. I had asthma when I was younger but I do not believe it actually asthma. I had a severe cold when I was there and I was out of shape at the time also. My breathing is 200% better now and I am much more active now. I want to be in the military still but I really do not want to go into the army or the marines. So what is my chance of possibly getting into the Air Force or back into the Navy?
