Politics & Government - 4 October 2007

I'm moving to Kadena Air Force Base in Okinawa, Japan sometime in August of 2008 as a married spouse with no dependents. I'm beginning to research career and education opportunites. I'll be graduating with a bachelor's of science degree in Psychology from Wright State University in Spring of 2008. Does anyone know what kind of employment opportunites I can get with that? It could be business or psychology related. With the master's degree I'm looking to do relationship counseling or a research focus. Basically, I want to go there with a plan to keep moving forward with my life while starting our life (my soon to be husband's and mine). Any suggestions are appreciated! Thank you! :)

What are they doing writing books and living the good life while the country is at war? Shouldn't they join the military ?

A second question: Why is it the sons and daughters of world leaders from both 'good' and 'bad' countries don't join the military? Saddam's sons weren't soldiers. Suharto's kids were soldiers. The Burmese juntas kids aren't solders.

Leaders both respected and not respected seem to support the idea that the military and the wars they create are too good for their own kids.

A woman in a hot air balloon realizes she is lost. She lowers her altitude and spots a man fishing from a boat below.
She shouts to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
The man consults his portable GPS and replies, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.
She rolls her eyes and says, "You must be a Republican!"
"I am," replies the man. "How did you know?"
"Well," answers the balloonist, "everything you tell me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you're not much help to me."
The man smiles and responds, "You must be a Democrat."
"I am," replies the balloonist. "How did you know?"
"Well," says the man, "You don't know where you are or where you're going. You've risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and now you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met , but, somehow, now it's my fault."

Why are the police in the US so aggressive? police trying to stop vehicles have this obsession of carrying out the P.I.T manoeuvre just about anywhere causing the offending car to crash into innocent drivers, why do they do that?

Thanks. And if you can list every single part of Detroit proper and if at all possible a description (Very Nice, Good, Average, Terrible, Atrocious) that would be great. Once again I don't care about livonia, and troy, and dearborn and all these places---only real actual Detroit proper. Thanks.

In Australia the government is touting how amazingly good workplace agreements are, and how amazingly bad it would be to scrap them now they are law. If they are so good, why aren't all our federal and state parlimentary ministers on workplace agreements? Lead by example!

Does a man who is unwilling to serve his country through military service really have the moral right to make the decisions to send real soldiers into war? Or even have the moral right to ask young men to serve their country through the military when he was unwilling to do so himself?

I'm talking about those healthy enough physically (if not morally) to have served in the military.

This is not a legal question, but a moral one being asked by an old fart who served.

Now, let the excuses and disclaimers begin !!!!!!!!!!

I am appauled by the injustice in the US justice system. No one denies that it was wrong for the 6 kids to beat up 1 kid even after he was unconscious, no matter what that one kid said. But attempted murder? Come on!

But I just saw something on youtube that just made me SO sad. Pictures of Robert Bailey literally gloating with all the money he has made from his supporters who have sent him cash for his defense fund.

Does this make you sad too?

So I guess if you want to support the defense fund, please do it through legit means (through an organization). Please do not send money directly to the defendants!

With the foreign made cars we drive? The made in China American flags we wave? Or the made in Viet Nam Niki shoes that we wear?

Try this out for irony:

Doesn’t anyone here care that both China and Viet Nam are still communist countries and by buying their products we are helping to keep their form of government alive?

Are you supporting America or are you supporting and feeding the greed of a handful of Americans who are outsourcing our jobs and our future to other countries?

American president's decisions affect the whole world adversely and otherwise.
American foreign policy affects all world citizens.

In view of the above shouldn't those who are affected by US foreign policy, (ie the citizens of the world) have some say on who becomes president.

At the moment we are without voice.

At the moment 100+ million US voters are deciding on issues that affect billions around the world.
