Not only that, but Barak Obama would be the first non-white President. Yet few seem to notice enough to bother commenting. I think that's a good thing, but then again I'm a bit startled by it.

My landlord/roomate broke my computer. What legal recourse do I have (no lease, no witnesses but I know she did it because she admitted to "very carefully" moving my computer.

Will next year's election be full of biased votes?
This is what I'm thinking. People will either vote for some ignorant republican, Barack Obama because he is African-American, or Hillary Clinton because she's a woman. What do you think? Do the other candidates have a fighting chance?

Let's say for the sake of proving a point that 3,700 soldiers have been killed in Iraq in four years of fighting. FOUR YEARS.

Okay, let look at this:

September 11, 2001:

2,993 Americans were killed in two hours.


Those 3700 soldiers are dying for you, so they can ensure that another 2993 won't die in two hours.

So please, to all of those people complaining, please stop. I know people over there, and many of you do, too. We aren't making their lives any easier.

PS.

I do believe in this War, for those wondering.
Please excuse the numbers, they were gained from Wikipedia, and we all know that website is not always correct.

What do you think of Mitt Romney's "excuse" for his 5 sons not serving in the military? They are ALL assisting his campaign. Gotta love 'em Neo-Con hypocrites.

It seems like We the People no longer have a say as to who represents us at a federal level. The movie American Blackout presents strong evidence that fraud was committed on a large scale during the last two presidential elections. Can we as a nation realize that this is not just a conspiracy theory devised by the "loosers"? What can be done to fix it?

I'm really puzzled. what's the pupose of being a citizen or be legal if, illegal people can do anything that Americcans can. In california, latino immigrants can go to school, get GED, go to college .get jobs, buy stuff, send money back to mexico. Go shopping and all.

I mean, it's good but if that happens and there is no punishment whatsoever, then what is the purpose of laws and immigration and why do Americans are to be called citizens. it's meaningless.

I received a Republican Party census questionnaire in the mail this morning and am shocked and disgusted with what questions were asked and how they were worded.

For example under homeland and security question (3) asks,

"Do you support air strikes against any country that offers safe harbor or aid to individuals or organizations committed to further attacks on America?"
I thought that this question was ridiculous and dangerous seeing how republican administration might skew the information to actually attack a country that is suspected of "harboring" organizations who might want to attack America.

What are your thoughts about this question?
Question (5) asks, “Should homeland defense forces use profiling to protect our nation?”

Has anyone else received one of these census questionnaires and is the RNC trying to monitor how stupid the American public might be this next presidential election?

I gave my pastor 4 separate checks and enclosed them in an envelope securely. A few weeks later I noticed that he cashed only check 2,3 & 4 but not 1. When I finally spoke to him he told me that I should stop payment on the check because he can not find the check. He lost it and thinks I am going to pay $30.00 and guess what I didn't do it and have not as yet replaced the check that he lost. I somehow think that my check is somewhere in his house, maybe in between other papers. This is not the 1st time that this has happened, the previous time he found the check real fast. So tell me, shouldn't he pay the fee since he acknowledged that he received the check and then lost it?

Here are some details on me
-I am still pretty young (21) and single
-I am healthy (as far as I know) and I would say I am in fairly good shape
- I have no criminal record and I am currently an Aux. Policemen for my hometown
-I have no history of mental illness, but I have seen counselsors briefly before for troubles in school (once in 4th grade and once in 9th). They were basically to check to see if I was okay and nothing bad came from it. Nonetheless I have had never had a mental illness or condition. Seeing counselsors in the past does not keep you from joing right?
-I do not take any medications. I have only taken one medication and that was for ance.
-I have had jaw surgery when I was 12 to fix an underbit and still have a metal plate in my jaw. Can I still join with this?
-Sometimes my right elbow clicks when I do push ups for tricep excercies (but it does not hurt as all). Can this be bad for boot camp?

If the person knew that there would be a (8 lb) dog in the house, and they take the risk of coming in.. it's their fault right? If it were on public property, or someone else's private property... it seems it'd be different.
