I mean, why is it any business of the Senate? It seems like they are always holding oversight hearings on stuff that seemingly has nothing to do with the government.

If we started deporting all illegal immigrants in this country, my primary fear is that there would be a insurrection of illegals and we would see things much worse than the LA riots. I'm concerned about what would happen to people who basically have nothing to lose. I think the better way to take care of things is to get rid of the ones who are causing trouble, stop employers from hiring illegals and punish them if they do, and get a government system where we can track all people so that fake documents do them no good anymore. Should we give the law abiding illegals a chance to become legit? Maybe, but only if they will learn English and pay into the system and some sort of penalty should be assessed to them for being illegals.

If he truly believes in martyrdom why does he flee and hide?

Not only is he an evil terror plotter, he is not even a real Jihadist - - he is just a sissy wimp who hides in a cave rather than sacrificing his life for his cause, while he tells his followers to do just that. He is a chicken!

Does it re-write the history regarding Muhammad and re-translate "kill unbelievers" to mean "fight the inner struggle against temptation?"

I KNOW there are people who claim to be Muslim and worship in mosques who are non-violent and even friendly, some of whom denounce the terrorists.

But how can this be reconciled with the wellspring of their religion?

Yes, Christianity, primarily before the Reformation, was violent too - - - but JESUS wasn't. The origin of that faith is non-violent. Jesus may or may not have been God but he wasn't violent in the least, and never spoke in favor of violence. Muhammad killed tens of thousands of people, in most cases in unprovoked raids. And his Koran clearly says to kill the unbelievers - it says how to kill them and what the reward from Allah will be.

How can "moderate Islam" - however one defines it - be reconciled with origins that are anything but moderate?

OK, so does a 42 year old who joins just do the regular boot camp and get a weapon, or are they the people with skills already, like electronics experts or medical people, etc. Anybody know for certain? Any experts on this?

I HAD to move out of my mother's house. She was emotionally abusive and provoked me into fights with her on a number of occassions when I wanted to keep things peaceful. She was also very controlling. She eavesdropped on my phone converstaions and didnt like me to go anywhere but I did anyway becuase I needed social interaction with friends. I left without a job and without money but am still in school. I need help paying for the rest of my college career becuase I plan to become a psychologist. I was told to apply for financial aid I need all of my mother's information and tax returns. I dont even live with her anymore and I make zero dollars! Why does the government need that info? if I got it, it would exacerbate things back at the house.What do I do? I cannot go back to that house and ask her for the ifo. She wont give it to me. Are there any sites that can help? I also cant bunk at my friends house forever. Im just a girl of twenty also.

How in the world is it that people are seen as champions of the environment and heroes to the world when they espouse their views about man's involvement in Global Warming. . . . . . . . YET , . . . Those who warn about the threats and dangers of Radical Islamists are seen as 'fear-mongers' ? . . . . . . Especially when we have countless examples of what the Radical Islamists have already done. . . . AND. . . . . Countless clips from their own mouths of what they plan on doing next ?

No matter what you believe about man's involvement in Global Warming . . . . it's still debatable .
Yet there is no doubt whatsoever about what Radical Islamists have in mind for the world . . . . it's not debatable. . . there is no question. . . . . . they have told us many times from their mouths. .. not a theory from the mouths of scientists .

Double Standard ?

Terrorism is the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, esp. for political purposes. Now, how can you have a war on a tactic? I don't disagree that it's wrong to use terror, but how can we win a war on something that's so widespread and has been around forever? When did terrorism begin? as far as I know it began whenever people started to argue. Who are the terrorists? Anyone and everyone. How do we know who will use that tactic and when? We DON'T. Maybe we should have a war on war as well to just square it all off. How about a war on air strikes, and offensives? Oh, I know! A war on business strategies, I think those are getting out of control and hurting Americans too. Do you know how many people die from McDonald's ads?

War on terrorism can't be won because you can't fight something has no definite place, person, or time. I don't understand, how does the babbling monkey continue deceiving American people into believing in an impossible enemy?

Please tell me I'm wrong

Something like that is particularly surprising to National Guard and Reserve troops. Conservatives, which will it be? Families or war?

2 months ago we were detained and fingerprinted for public intoxication. We were told that it was so minor that it probably would not get filed but none the less we had to go to court to make sure. I do intend on fighting the charge if it was filed. I'm asking because im on the brink of being employed by an elementry school that requires fingerprinting and im panicking, can this end my hopes of being hired??? should i mention it? will it even show?

The ticket was for driving around a cone, but the officer's sloppy hand writing was incorrectly entered into the computer system by the Los Angeles Superior court, and both my drivers license number (by one number) and the spelling of my middle name were incorrect (by one letter), if i go to court will i be found guilty? will the case be thrown out? should i just pay the stupid ticket and be done with it? I haven't called a lawyer yet, should I? I would love to not have to pay the ticket and to go to traffic school.

In the beginning of the U.S.A's history, immigrants could not wait to live here so they could share their beliefs, languages and cultures. Thats why it was named the "melting pot".
Nowadays, most immigrants move here wanting to keep to their own ways and dont want anyone telling them what to do yet they demand respect. Dont they realize a host country cant give respect w/o having some shown?

My son and his friends went to someone's house and he (my son) stayed in the car while his friends bashed this girl's mailbox, what can happen to him? He wants to become a cop and I don't want him in trouble. He is 17 and never been grounded. He is always a good kid, so this really floors me. Can he go to jail?
