OK so the first question is if I work a 24 Hour duty.. like CQ forr example... I am supposed to get an adequate amount of time following for sleep. I need a reg to be able to tell them that I dont have to work because they are making me. Second question, I am getting a court martial for assault. I am bipolar and they have known for a while because I've been on meds for like 10 months. What are my rights in this whole deal because I have searched forever and I can't do this all by myself. Please HELP ME...

I have been watching a few videos of his speeches and he seems to make a less than spectacular exit- most notably in China- with the multiple attempts at opening locked doors followed by standing still for a few seconds. And most recently in Australia at the 'Opec' [sic] Summit- where he attempted to exit stage right- but alas there was no exit- it was blocked by a 20 foot high floor-to-ceiling posterboard.
Is difficulty with doors and other human-sized exit apertures a common symptom of dyslexia?

Have the insurance companies begun their misinformation campaign already?

Ok, so w/ the Universal Healthcare plan all it does is create a country whose citizens are dependent on the government. Which in my eyes is not a good idea...I mean shouldnt New Orleans have been a prime example of this. 1/2 those citizens there were dependent on the government and we all saw were that got them. Then on top of that Soc. Sec. is a gov. run organization thats about to go bankrupt and yet we want politicians to run our healthcare system....sounds a bit out there. I say a simple little reform for the insurance co. should help out our current system. But I just dont understand why the Left is pushing this Universal crap so hard!

In a hypothetical situation:

A nordicist (believes in superiority of White nordic race) who despite his/her beliefs, believes war is never the way and tries to avoid it.

or

Someone who believes all races are equal, but views war as a necessary occurence and is prone to being quick to use force.

Who would you choose and why? I'd choose the first because I care more about ACTIONS in a leader than I do their personal beliefs.

Its a strategic move to divide and conquer Iran and Syria, and quite a brilliant one at that.

Did everyone see Gidget's, oh I mean Sally Fields rant about wars and moms on the emmy's?

"If mothers ran the world their would be no (expletive) wars!"

P.S. Matriarchial societies have MORE wars not less in history.

Well it looks like the liberals have another hero to go with:

-Cindy Sheehan who longs for communism as she meets with her hero Hugo Chavez

-Ted Kennedy, mr. roll his car when drunk and kill his girlfriend

-John Kerry who lied about his wartime record and threw away his medals because he hates the U.S.

-Jane Fonda and her love and support of the Viet Cong.

-Michael Moore who rails against the healthcare system but goes to an expensive resort to lose weight in florida

-Rosie O"Donnell who says "anyone with a gun should be in jail," but has her bodyguard get a gun permit.

-Al Gore who talks about global warming but runs his mansion wasting electricity and having an entourage of people with planes to pollute the atmosphere.

Hypocrites?
Yes!

Fell asleep behind the wheel and ran off of road resulting in a dui charge. No passengers, personal injury or property damage. After arrest, spent over 1 hour in back of police car on side of road and another 45 minutes at ploice station before receiving breath test which came out pretty high. Booked in and spent the night for 8 mandatory hours. Does the 8 hours count towards the 48 if i am sentenced and should all of the time spent in police car count as well since i was not immediately taken to police station. Also since my breath test was administered so long after being stopped I feel like what i did have to drink had alot of extra time to absorb and my reading probably would have been different if test was given immediately, anyone have any insight on this? Of course i will be checking with an attorney but wanted to see if anyone else had experience in this. any info would be great

My son passed his ASVAB, AIM and medical physical and drug test - but was asked at his medical physical how many times he has smoked pot - and he answered truthfully ... 15 - 20 times. This flagged a pscyhological consult with a private psychologist - and my son told him the same thing. He was all set to go and the recruiter just called and said that he had been DQd for one year by the psychologist. The recruiter said he felt bad because he forgot to tell my son to lie - and say just once or twice. The recruiter told my son that he can appeal this decision by getting and paying for another analysis by a private psychologist. My question is this - does anyone out there have any experience with this - and is it worth his time - or should he just wait one more year??? HELP!

Do you know what today is? It is Constitution Day in the US. On September 17, 1787, the 55 delegates to the Constitutional Convention held their final meeting. Only one item of business occupied the agenda that day, to sign the Constitution of the United States of America. Do you think that this day should be celebrated in schools with more than just an assignment on the constitution? For example in my business law class we are learning about the United States Constitution and we have to write a paper comparing the US constitution with the original Massachusetts Constitution of 1780. If there was more of a celebration in the schools people might be more interested in learning about the not only the US constitution but also their state constitutions. How do you think constitution day might be better celebrated?

We all know that OJ has been diligently trying to find the real killer of his beloved wife and her friend for the last 12 years or so. I'm very sad that he is in jail now. Will OJ who is probably in jail only because he is black be hindered in his aggressive attempt to find the real killer? Can we start a fundraising to help him make bail? After the tragic loss of his wife. This must be very hard for him. Will everyone please pray for his early release?

That's the new mandate she'll propose in her quest for the Presidency.
Whether you can afford it or not....YOU WILL PAY!

Rules in most states require all drivers to purchase auto insurance...
Clinton's plan would require EVERYONE to purchase HEALTH Insurance.

Is this a viable idea or the rantings of a fool?

If the war is all about oil, then why have we seen no benefits in this area? Why are we not paying 50 cents a gallon for gas?

We are loosely controling a country that is supposed to be sitting on one of the largest untapped oil deposits on the planet.

So why does the price of gas do nothing but increase?

He was on 60 Minutes last night discussing that and other statements from his book. I know 60 Minutes is not on FOX,
but did you see it? What do you think? Is the Bush Administration low enough to use your sons and daughters for a hostile corporate takeover of a country?
