Often times, choosing instead to just berate the questioner, or go off on some rant about how bad conservatives are... or some other trivial thing that has nothing to do with the question.

This is what it could solve:
1. Immigration issues and border patrol.
2. Drug trafficking.
3. Economic issues for both countries (instead of so much trade with China).
4. Better health care for them instead of fleeing their country for free health care that we end up paying for anyway.
5. Better education (instead Dad and Mom leaving children behind).
6. Our vacation money would be spent in our own country.
7. Not to mention some of our companies out sourcing.

I was wondering what the heck happens to any sort of debt you have while you're in basic training and tech school when you enlist in the Air Force???? I know you still get paid while you're in the AF, but those first 6.5 weeks that you're in Basic training I don't see them letting incoming mail come in and letting you sit there and write checks out.

So what happens if you have a car payment, credit cards??? that stuff???

It sure seems that could be the only reason. Right?

Aug. 16 (Bloomberg) -- A small South Carolina parts supplier collected about $20.5 million over six years from the Pentagon for fraudulent shipping costs, including $998,798 for sending two 19-cent washers to a Texas base, U.S. officials said.

The company also billed and was paid $455,009 to ship three machine screws costing $1.31 each to Marines in Habbaniyah, Iraq, and $293,451 to ship an 89-cent split washer to Patrick Air Force Base in Cape Canaveral, Florida, Pentagon records show.

If Mr.Bush was not elected President, then does this mean that we would not be in Iraq/Afghanistan today?Would the middle east be at peace.??would our gas prices be 1.00 dollar a gallon?Would the tsunamis not have occurred?Would Katrina not have happened?Would 9-11 not have happened?We would just be a big happy world today, not bothered by anything, living high on the hog.Why do some believe that the world would of been different if anyone either than Bush would have been elected.?.Dont all politicians have agendas?Mr.Bush is not to blame for these events, he is OUR elected President while these events unfolded, this is our Nations destiny, not Mr.Bush's choice..the time to get off the Bush bashing bandwagon is NOW.

Keep in mind that Hillary and Reid voted to renew it --- the 2 most powerful Dems in the Senate. I guess they agree with Bush that it's important.

It's so lame and a little creepy. I once heard a woman begging him for a t-shirt for her 17 year old daughter, because her daughter was "in love" with him. How disgusting is that? Who pimps their kids out like that. Who is egocentric enough to let those kinds of sickos get past his call screeners?

People in this country (USA) want to be "ruled". They want a government that is controlled by big business. They want their constitutional freedoms taken from them. They want a government that does NOT care a thing about them as human beings. They want a government that would not spit in their mouth if they were on fire. Our government, and the politicans in charge, are an exact reflection of what people in the USA want. OTHERWISE they would not have continued to elect them for the past 30 years. IT's simple, in the USA, the government is EXACTLY how the majority of the people want it otherwise, it would not be how it is today.

this not meant to be a inflamitory question as im sure will be said but rather a honest look into the stopped, blocked and delayed investigations of thes buildings. it was not until 411 days later, after much pressure from the american people that a investigation even took place. never in u.s. history has this happened. investigations have always been launched within hours or days. the nist report and the 9/11 commission report, or ommission report as i like to call it, cleary are the act of a cover up and the hiding and supression of the truth. please take a little time to examine the evidence, listen to the experts, the fireman, first responders, and see actual video footage that you did not see in mainstream media. give me your honest opinion.

I mean for the wonderful things he has done for our country. Invading a foreign country and fighting a war that insures even most likely our grandchildren will still serve there. Lying to the citizens of his country about said war. Guarenteeing that our childrens children will continue to feel the economic sting of his decisions. Pretty much removing any positive non military pull we may have had in the middle east. Destroying our countries reputation throughout the world and showing that we are a shoot first ask questions government that people now fear. And, pretty much just giving up on apprehending the person who was responsible for 9/11, which was the supposed crux of all of this nightmare we are in. I'm sure all the parents of the 21 year old soldiers who served and were killed appreciate the path we are currently taking. But, on a positive note, at least he and his rich moraly and ethicly bankrupt buddies made some serious dollars with all this.

Somebody told me that when the Russians were pulling out of Germany in the beginning of 90's, NATO assured the Russians that it would not expand further East. Perhaps, there even was a written document of this promise. Where on the Internet I could find anything about it?

...I have been split up with my ex for months now. He has not paid anything towards our mortgage and has left me in severe trouble with money.

He refuses to sign over the house and my offer of additional borrowing from Natwest to buy him out runs out next week.

I had agreed that he could take my car, which is on finance, but the finance company have refused to transfer ownership because of his really bad credit rating and they have told me now that I cannot hire, lease or sell the vehicle to any third party without their express permission.

He has gone absolutely mental at this nugget of news and is now refusing to sign point blank! I lose everything next week and cannot believe he is being so awful.

Is there anything I can do to force him to sign over legally? I am just so frightened now and just feel like either killing him or me!

He says he would rather see the house repossessed than let me have it now. It's not my fault he has bad credit! How long does this take?

... (for the most part)

or is it harder for you to understand, than to express?

these days there is soooo much distance between the 'right' and the 'left' the rhetoric is astonishing ... so I'm wondering if you all feel it's more difficult for you to express your views, or you find its more difficult to understand why others feel the way they do

... and if you're in touch with what I'm talking about ... how can we educate ourselves to improve our communication

or is it simply a question of 'lack' of humility and accountability hiding behind a PC

I am an active duty soldier that was slated to separate via ETS from the U.S. Army in about two weeks, but yesterday a blanket stop loss was issued, and now I will have been involuntarily extended two more years. Keeping in mind I have been back from a previous tour in Iraq for about 45 days, according to MILPER MESSAGE 06-232, I have probable cause to dispute this if apparently I am in a 90 day redeployment window and affected by stop loss. Could anyone give me some insight to this, or get me on track with the necessary steps to take to get this time sensitive exception rolling?
