Do you feel a little meaner, a little angrier, a little fed-up since having joined this Yahoo forum, and witnessessing so much hate from others using the politics section?

I have heard a lot of mean stories about women in the marines lately, and I was just wondering if the stories of their extreme promiscuity are true. And if so, are they like that before they go in, or do they become that way upon entering the corps? I am in no way trying to be rude or offend anyone.

In our country, is it your opinion that those with the wealth hold a proportionate amount of power? I don't mean fleeting Hollywood million dollar income, I mean lasting wealth. Wealth like ownership of industries and resources.

If this is the case, that Wealth = Power, do you think that it is a good system, or could it stand to be improved?

No nastyness please, I'm just asking for opinions. Thanks! :)

My son and some friends were riding bikes. My son, who was trying to impress his friends I'm sure... yelled out to them "man, that's an ugly f****** dog". The owner and his family (including his child) heard this. The boys continue riding down the street unaware of what's about to occur. The man gets in his truck, chasses the boys down (hitting one of them with his truck mirror) and gets out of his truck, yells and pokes/pushes my son (who is a minor). A witness calls 911. The officer (we find out) knows the man and encourages us to "drop" it and chalk it up as a lesson learned. I later find out this man does contract work for the police department. Ironically, my son gets changed with disorderly contact for saying the "f-word" but strangly enough this man isn't being charged with anything. Your thoughts?

"And let me be clear: the violence in Anbar has gone down despite the surge, not because of the surge. The lack of protection for these tribes from al Qaeda made it clear to these tribes, “We have to fight al Qaeda ourselves.” It wasn’t that the surge brought peace here. It was that the warlords had to create a temporary peace here on their own. And that is because there was no one else there protecting them"

WASHINGTON (AFP) - Israel carried out an air strike well inside Syria last week, apparently to send Damascus a message not to rearm Hezbollah in Lebanon, a US defense official said Tuesday."It wasn't big. It was a quick strike. They were engaged by the Syrians, they dropped their ordenance and scooted out of there," said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.The official did not know the target of the strike, which was conducted Thursday, but said the US military believed it was to send a message to the Syrians."The Israelis are trying to tell the Syrians: 'Don't support a resurgence of Hezbollah in Lebanon.'"
Syria said its air defences had opened fire on Israeli warplanes flying over the northeast of the country in the early hours of Thursday and warned it was weighing its response to the Israeli "aggression."
But Israeli officials have made no comment on the allegations, as Prime Minister Ehud Olmert "specifically instructed ministers not to talk about the incident

Is he a "surrender monkey" too?

Commitments will still exceed sustainable levels and he still isn't doing anything about increasing force levels to sustain this kind of war, but it is still a step backward.

And how are Busheviks going to blame Bill Clinton. "Did you know that Bill Clinton led the Persians to the goat path that let them outflank the 300 Spartans? The Liberal Press covered it up."

Please watch this Lou Dobbs clip, listen after the report for his web site URL, and go there to send a message to your congressman to do something about this before it is too late! I don't want to be asked at my next performance review if I would be willing to accept a 75% pay cut because there are 200 Mexicans standing at the door who will do my job for even less than that. I want my son to learn Spanish electively, not because he needs the skill to make it through the day. I'm sick of hearing "Para espanol, oprima la estrella" every time I make a phone call. Surveys report that approximately 85% of Americans oppose the North American Union and the Reconquista, or Mexican Invasion. If everyone speaks about this, the politicians will have a harder time denying that it exists, thus making it more difficult for them to sneak it in the back door on us.

Bush's lie-based trillion-dollar quagmire in Iraq has almost broken our military.

We will need to reduce troops next year REGARDLESS OF THE SITUATION, or face a BROKEN MILITARY.

SO HOW DO YOU CONS EXPLAIN WHY YOU THINK WE CAN KEEP BLEEDING IN IRAQ FOREVER?
