Politics & Government - 13 August 2007

I am a UC San Diego college student, and I want to join the army either as active duty or as a reservist after medical school as an army doctor. I want to work in the army in the field, NOT in a military hospital or a desk job. I've had flat feet all my life, and I think it is somewhat severe. But this flat feet does not effect my physical activity at all. I can run around 7 miles nonstop in regular shoes without much discomfort and have played on a football and tennis team without any problems at all. I'm pretty athletic and run miles almost every other day. I really want to join after med school, but I'm afraid my flat feet would be a disqualifier. I believe my flat feet wouldn't effect my performance in any strenuous physical activities if I were able to enlist in the army. Do you think I would be disqualified? Any recruiters or current army personnel here that can answer my question?

Thank you so much.

If you carefully study the lyrics of many current songs, you can rather easily connect the dots to see GENOCIDE is being well planted into the psyche of Urban youth. All that will be needed is a trigger-sign, and the blazes and blades will flash, neighborhood by neighborhood. Swarming packs using cellphones and police scanners can do quite a number, and if careful enough, it can become a competition of bloodshed in real life, between rival national gangs.

Am I the only one who senses this formula in process?

I dont understand how nominees and voted into nomination.

If I understand it correctly only a few states elect a nominee and have a say in who the country will vote for?
Don't you think this is unfair if so?

Spout such high horse moralistic rubbish about Britain's past when their own country has been guilty of just as bad if not worse (witness what they did to the American Indians?)

Why does he say in his profile that he" values other countries and diversity" and then spout hate against a whole country? How can he generalise about all British people because of what the British government did on the past?

This astounds me. Its just reverse bigotry.

As for Ireland, why did Americans donate so much money to the "brave freedom fighting" IRA for so long and then when their own innocent civillians were slaughtered by terrorists because of the foreign policy, withdraw their support, declare "war on terror" and start blowing up half the world!

Why are we supporting you in Iraq???

Our current government is doing almost everything we gave as reason why we abolished it and started our own, which was going to be of the people for the people and that everyone is created equal and has the rights of life, liberty, and pursuit of happeness. And if our own goverment, became one that did not repersented the people but its one seperate unity. Which it has, you get to vote for basicaly 2 people who you have never met or have even talked to. And has our govenrment ever recently done anything for our own people besides continuely mislead and misinform the general public, whos only source of information is the TV, and either killed or let almost 3 thousand of its own people die so it could go kill millions more including children because 12 people from their country, who are actually most of them still alive so its kinda hard to believe they were the ones on the plane. But who do 12 people repersent a whole country and thats why its okay to invade kill people there?

An individual receives a traumatic brain injury, resulting in a neurological change in an attitude toward others. They are easy to anger and aggressive in response.

Do you treat this person as a victim of the injury, or as a potential long term aggressor from whom the public needs to be protected?

Just finished watching Teenagers and Alcohol on HBO. One of the recovering teens, a young man who was not drinking, but got a ride from a friend who had previously drank two beers, now has a severe problem with anger management. He was not drinking, or knew his friend had been, so this is not a case where he is suffering from his own stupidity.

Especially where someone is murdered?

Here: http://uk.news.yahoo.com/pressass/20070814/tuk-three-youths-charged-with-murder-6323e80_2.html

The number of incidents in general that children & teenagers is growing the government needs to act.

I know of several people who are being intimidated by teenagers and the police are powerless to do anything.

A friend of mine has to suffer verbal abuse and attacks to her car because the parents are under an ASBO, the parents use their 9 children to create havoc in the close she live on. The family are responsible for several muggings and I nearly became a victim myself.

Infact todate I have had 3 Mugging attempts by teenagers who operate with military like execution.

The laws need to change and because of video games, it puts ideas into their heads and teaches them tricks, we had a spate of "Splinter Cell" type attcks a few months ago.

The boss of a friend of mine gave us permission to take the company boat out for a tour of the canal (think San Antonio) at midnight. There was no issue about safety, because my friend drives the tour boat during the week. We boarded and had been touring for 5 minutes when 5 security guards for the canal motioned for us to pull over. They said we were stealing the boat, but we told them we had permission and gave the managers #. They only asked to talk to my friend (the driver), but as the rest of us walked away, a guard grabbed me by the arm and asked to see my ID. I asked him why? Another guard was screaming at me and this continued 3 times. Ask, why, scream, ask, why, scream. All of a sudden the guard handcuffed me and started throwing me around and saying that I was resisting arrest and obstructing justice! Then slammed me down on my back! They finally called the manager who said it was ok. They let us go, but I sustained a ruptured disk (I'm a small girl) and several bruises.
