I started smoking when I was 14 anyway so will changing the age make a difference seeing as most people start before the legal age? If not why are we wasting taxpayers money on advertising and paperwork?

This question applies US, France, China, India, Britain, Russia, and every other country that has carriers and focuses on carrier battle groups. With the advent of long range missiles, a carrier carrying supples, ammunition, people, and planes can be sunk really easily. That would be a huge waste of time, manpower, and resources. If i was the guy in charge of the navy, i would focus more on smaller carriers(to minimize risk maybe, spread things out, though more costly, if a war happens, i would be less likely to lose it all in a single hit) and surface vessles like destroyers and smaller, and of course submarines, which can be difficult to detect AND launch cruise missiles. I understand the need for a base of operations for fighters, im just concerned about the risk in focusing on super carriers and carrier battle groups, with stealth and missiles and all(a frigate could steam close enuf to fire a missile, and if the CIWS fail to intercept it, its bye bye carrier).

My mother and Uncle were both appointed executors of my late great aunt's will. All three of us, and two others, have been left a small sum of money, which we apparently cannot receive without all of us signing a disclaimer. None of the others need this money, however, I do as I need to pay off debts. My mother and I have fallen out recently and she has a cheque and a document for me to sign in order to have the money, however she is refusing to meet with me to hand it over, and it needs to be done from executor to beneficiary by hand and signed for in executor presence. Is she allowed to withhold it in this way?

as an Englishman who currently owns many major US based companies i feel i must ask this.
Many of the Americans that i own are greedy and i was wondering if this is to do with their upbringing.The Americans that i control are lovely people and very hard working when pushed, but their greed knows no bounds.I recently had to punish one of my Americans for stock piling bread roles under his bed in his hut.

This may not be a good question but since much has been made over nuclear attacks and in current wars use of missiles , bombers, and ground attacks could one country empty the money out of another long range and transfer the money from that country to the other. Since much has been made of computer abilities it appears a fleet of ships from a Navy could drain the money out of another nation by computer or at least a sizable portion of it is this possible. If any of this is them could draining eachothers bank accounts be an important form of warfare and would this keep the citizens of the countries alive since it would be a transfer war not physical war.

IT TOOK ABOUT FOUR MONTHS FOR SERBIA TO SURRENDER WHEN US & NATO DID AIRSTRIKE ON SERBIA.

SO IT LOOK LIKE IF THE US SEVENTH FLEET START BOMBING BURMA MILITARY BASES THEN BURMA WILL SURRENDED WITHIN FOUR MONTHS.

OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, DECEMBER AND JANUARY.

SINCE THE SYSTEM HAS IMPROVED THEN IT WILL BE TWO MONTHS NAMELY, OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER,

BY CHRISTMAS DAY, ALL BURMESE WILL HAVE PEACE.

ALL BURMESE GENERALS WILL LEAVE FOR CHINA.

ALL COLONELS IN BURMA WILL BE PROMOTED TO GENERALS.

I THINK THOSE COLONELS KNOW THE COST?

I am heading to Marine Corps Recruiter School on Oct 31st and have a few questions for any of those with experience.

What are some things you wish someone would have told you about before going to the school that would have prepared you/made the experience better there?

Also, how far is MCRD from the airport in San Diego (Lindbergh Intl.)

How long was the typical training day?

One more thing, what is one thing you wish you would have taken with you that is not on the gear list.

Thanks in advance to anyone with advice/input on this!! I have some SNCOs in my unit who were recruiters, but they went to the school awhile ago, so things could have changed.

its something about who will watch those who make the law or something.... I'm having a total brain fart right now but I'm trying to include it in a paper...

its something like "(something something something) but who will watch the watchers?"

I dont think the word "watchers" is used though... is that it?


Sorry if this doesnt make much sense :(

While the monks in Burma fight for democracy, the government here is planning to intercept our phone calls and listen in on our mobiles. This information will be supplied to loads of government bodies! Apparently this will help fight terrorism. RUBBISH. To all those who say 'if you have done nothing wrong then you have nothing to fear' are aiding this big brother culture. Why oh why is our privacy being attacked and stripped from us bit by bit??? I have a right to privacy, it's a liberty that is a god given right and i will not give it up for a snivelling nosey bunch of jobs worth sly filth while others die for their rights, we willingly give ours away....
