Politics & Government - 15 September 2007

I was involved in a accident with a NJ transit bus. He cut in front fo me and I hit the side of the bus. He got a ticket and this is his 3rd accident. I had back surgery for a burst disc.
My doctor 's report says I have a permanent injury and he signed a cert. of perm. I was out of work for 6 months and still have pain everyday. Every morning when I wake up I know I had surgery. I have a six inch scar on my stomache and two 3 inch scars on my back. How do they put a value on a permanent injury. I have 2 small boys and I am 41 years old.

I worked at a place that hired a new store manager just before my seasonal employment ended (I was an Interim Asst. Mngr for the summer). Anyway, this person that they hired never worked with me and had issues with control. From a legal standpoint, there's no reason that anything negative can be said about me and the store owner has glowing things to say about me....

Anyway, when this new store manager was called for employment varification, she said some pretty awful and innacurate things about me as an employee and I was subsequently removed from the application process of a place I was hoping to be hired full time.

What can I do to stop this?

Not only is she wrong but she also has NO right to say anything about me as an employee.....UGH!

My personal belief is that there is no draft. I come out of the 60's anti war movement. I have even seen my FBI file. Regardless, the facts of Viet Nam were more akin to WWII then to Iraq, the difference being, the baby boomers, and then many of there parents believed in "Hell no we won't go". In the Nam war, you friends, your brothers, had no choice to go to war. It was that or prison or Canada. Sure, there were those that yell baby killers at the vets coming home, but that was not the majority.
We hated the war, like most do now, but the military is a volunteer service now. Your brother went because he wanted to go into the service, as did you sister, your friend. You still want them home. You still fear for them, but you also know that your other brother, sister, son or daughter will not have to enlist. The emotions are not the same. It is sad. The death rate in Nam was also 10 times what it is in Iraq. If 200 Americans died each week in Iraq it would be over now.

The economy is great, there is virtually no unemployment, interest rates are low, inflation is low, taxes are low, and we haven't been attacked since 9/11/2001.

Could things get any worse?

I'm not saying there isn't a difference. Nor am I bashing one group or another. I just want you to tell me what the difference is.

Serious answers, from Republicans only please...

Bush sat for seven minutes without even knowing the type/extent of the attack or if there was any action he could be taking...apparently this is considered great leadership by Republicans, who think the only other option was to leap up screaming and scaring all the children when he could have just calmly excused himself. So my question is this: if seven minutes wasn't too long to wait, then is this the EXACT number of minutes that a President should wait or would it have been even better if he waited eight minutes? Nine? Twenty?

At the time of the invasion of Iraq a great percentage of americans approved of his actions. Once american soldiers started dying and arriving back in bodybags in an increasing way the american public opinion turned their backs to the president. That shows that everything is ok if we kill others as long as the others do not kill us. That also shows the insensitivity of the american public at large and the readiness to abandon your president just to save your pride and the pride of the nation when things take a turn for the worse. Cowardice and treachery are two words that describe your attitude towards your president.

My ex is currently owes over three months in back child support. He just stopped paying and has had every excuse in the book. He is getting ready to go back in the army after ten years out. Will the army let him re-enlist and leave if they know he owes this money? I am currently awaiting documentation back from the court in regards to this matter, and was planning on taking it to an attorney. But now I am afraid he will be able to get out of town before I can do this. Do I need to make the army aware of this? Will it matter to them? It is a violation of a court order.

Who do we continue our involvement with the United Nations & NATO?? It is high time that we got out of the U.N. and NATO, so we can focus our troops on American soil.
The U.N. especially is a huge mistake is about time we got out and told them to go find a new home for their HQ.

Lately I have seemed to see a lot of sloppy, nerdy guys that are going out with middle aged asian or filipino women. Why is this? Have they struck out with American women? Ever wonder what their ladies see in them?

Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs are busy fixing up their humble abode. The 7 Dwarfs are out back working in the bottom of the water well.

That afternoon, Snow White is preparing dinner for the evening when she hears a very loud crash out back and knows immediately that the well has collapsed. She runs out the door to see if anyone is alive.

Leaning over the well, she yells down “hello” hoping that somebody will respond. She hears nothing and yells again, “say something if you can hear me!”

A faint voice from the bottom of the well comes back, “vote for Hillary.”

Snow White is quite relieved and says, “Oh thank goodness! At least Dopey survived!”
