What would be the outcome?

I know the Chinese army is easily larger than ours, but they have this huge thing called the Pacific Ocean and the U.S. Navy in the way.

Baring nuclear weapons, with the objective of wiining the war is total domination of the opposite country, who would win?


The same with Pakistan and India

-Israel and her neighbors (basically the second 6 Day War).


And what would be the result of a Russian Invasion of Eastern Europe.

-What would be the result of South American all-out war between Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, Chile, and Peru vs. Brazil, both Guyana's, Suriname, and Columbia?

What would the U.S.A.'s role in these conflicts?


Just some thoughts I was wondering and a little mindcandy for military minds.

Remember no conflicts use nukes.

And we are officially entering a repeat of history.

As I recall, the dimplomatic talks with hitler went smoothly...and he kept his word.

Oh, and so did Yassar Arafat.

Does this acceptably empower the court to prohibit prayer in schools and deny the right of citizens to place a nativity scene on the town square?

Some thoughts:

“Religion [is] the basis and Foundation of Government.” ~ James Madison ~

“No power over the freedom of religion…[is] delegated to the United States by the Constitution.” ~ Thomas Jefferson ~

“While just government protects all in their religious rights, true religion afforded to government is its surest support.” ~ George Washington ~

“If I could have entertained the slightest apprehension that the Constitution framed by the Convention, where I had the honor to preside, might possibly endanger the religious rights of any ecclesiastical Society, certainly I would have never placed my signature to it.” ~ George Washington

I was Active Duty for four years in the U.S. Navy and am trying to go back to reserves. The reserves does not have my rate, so I have to switch. In real life, I am develop as an IT professional (taking server and programming courses alike). I am trying to get an IT oriented job, but am colorblind. Is there a waiver for that? Are any CT jobs open to colorblind people in the reserve? I know CTR was a rate that didn't matter, what about CTN?

Any answers would be much appreciated.

(in general) Most Mexican people you talk to about the debate on illegal immigration take a personal offense to this. It is not about hating Mexicans or any other illegal’s, it’s about money. I am a hard working, tax paying person that is just one little tick mark on the known and accounted for population of this country contributing smog, tax revenue, contributing to the economy, so I count as a driver on the road, or a student (if I had kids) in the public school system. Because of this, the government can estimate or have an idea of the overall strain on each of these services. Most people who take offense to this issue fail to understand that Americans really do not want to make this a race issue. They want everyone that is in this country to be a part of the Census so we are not faced with overcrowded roads, schools, housing, healthcare, etc. Is this really so wrong?

Anyone have an opinion on this?

Why didn't we just go invade Canada or Mexico? The access is so much easier. We get a majority of our oil from those countries, they hardly have a military to stop us... and really, who is going to defend Canada... that is our job.

This may be long but I need help, please read. Ok, I have had this credit card for 3 years. I always paid them on time until I got into a real financial trouble. I was in an accident, in and out of doctors, missing a lot of work. I couldn't pay them. Then when I was getting a little things worked out & was able to pay, I logged onto their website & it said they had been bought out by another company & gave their phone number. I called them and they were very rude and would not set up payment arrangements with them for less than $100 a month. I couldn't do that. I explained my situation to them & they said they couldn't do it. I ask them for a mailing address so that I could send them payments when I could and they would not do that. They said they couldn't accept anything less than $100 so I told them well I don't know what to do & they said they would turn it over to a collections agency so I said ok, do what you gotta do. Then today someone from Apex called me & said it's

Of all the Democratic candidates running for president, which one would you want to vote for?
Since I'm a Republican I probably won't be voting for any of them, but I'd like to know your opinions anyway.
Thanks!

"Authorities said they are anticipating charging some of the undocumented people alleged to have voted in Bexar County with felony violation of state law before they are turned over to immigration agents and likely deported.

As the federal portion of the investigation begun in late May winds down, Bexar County District Attorney Susan Reed will determine how she'll proceed in the case of the 41 people who allegedly voted, some repeatedly, despite being non-citizens. "

My son's wife has 2 children from a previous marriage. They are in their 20's and won't get jobs. His wife is always catering to them. When I die and my son inherits some of my money, how can I or He stop her from getting his inheritance if he dies before she does, since she would be leaving it to her children when she dies. I don't want her kids to get the money that my husband & I worked hard for.
