Politics & Government - 20 September 2007

I was wondering about the ROTC program, I heard that if you take the basic course and do not recieve aid from the army then you do not have a commitment to service, is this true? I am very interested in bettering my personal fitness,team leadership skills, responisbility and to learn some military techniques and training, assembling/disassembling the m16/m60 and other misc. skills but do not want to serve in the army at this point in my life. Anyone have any stories, suggestions,opinions or info on this subject i'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance

My company requires a secret clearance. When I was 18, I never signed up for Selective Service. I honestly and truthfully did not know what that was until recently, which is obviously too late.( I am 31 now).

What are my chances of getting my Secret Clearance?

sneer at woman that did not get abortion but happen to need assistance from state.
then
Labelling them with all manner of uncomplementary terms.
It's kinda like....
yes have the baby but the baby has to go hungry.
And...any attempts at alleviating suffering of mom is considered to be LIBTARD Giveaway.

Should Judges behave like feudal Lords? Most build their own sinister halos around to keep the litigants and lawyers in awe.

I am 21 years old and I have absolutely no forms of identification. I was planning a trip to Canada in about 2 weeks, and I realize now that it will be impossible to do this without proper identification to cross the border.

Being that I have no Birth Certificate, Social Security Card, or Passport- how can I get an ID? All means of obtaining an ID requires some other form of ID in order to get one. How can I get one without any of the others?

It seems I am stuck in a paradox.

Hinduism because of its noble tolerance has become a victim of some mean politicians who day in and day out abuse it for personal gain. Something more to this question! Do not you feel from past bad experience with some seasoned oldies that are notorious for their tongue wagging against opposition and religions - an old age leachiest habit – that the age of retirement rules applicable to Government employees also should be made applicable to these run-out septuagenarians and octogenarians. It may perhaps serve India from its present rot.

Mexico? And tell them to either clean up their corruption and human rights abuses or ALL Trade Agreements we've made with them will be void? We don't allow human abuses in other countries so why do we Mexico?They come here because of it so I think we have a stake in this and should make our voices heard.What do you think?

I don't know who these people are. Every time I go somewhere they are there. I walk and they have sports cars. During the day and night. It is country roads and they seem unpatrolled by police when they are around. I've been walking these roads for months since my car broke down. I've had a couple try to scare me off the road by almost running me over. They follow me all the way home. I won't be intimidated by punks so I can't stop walking since it is the only way to get around. What should I do?

Nehru family has done more harm to INDIA, rather than good. he was connected with British woman, his daughter also did the same thing. they were so jealous about GUJARAT, that they never allowed any Gujarati to become P.M. Indira and Sonia both are public money-looters. they stole GANDHI last name, just to extract poor Indian people. they did not love their husbands, they love money, power and free world trips for their family members. the scale of justice is manipulated by the money and power hungry politicians. Italian mafia, go back to your Italy. let Indian people run their mother land.

thanks, SANAT, USA.

I understand the initial benefits but the system seems outdated because of modern technology. Why is it still used rather than using popular vote?

Let's see, if the judge finds you guilty, they get your money.
If the judge finds you NOT guilty, the DON'T get your money.
Gee, how do you think they're going to find?

Now, I'm no legal expert, but isn't that a conflict of interest? The cops & judges should be forced to just give the money to charity, instead of keeping it, lest the cities & counties grow too dependent on traffic ticket revenue, and begin to abuse the process, as they are now.
