These are some of the names of women that come to my mind that have been either president or prime minister in their countries: Benazir Bhutto; Corazon Aquino; Margaret Thatcher; Indira Ghandi; Golda Meir; Violeta Chamorro; Michelle Bachellet; etc. I know this is only a handful of women, since I don't have time to look the others up.

But why, what is the real reason there has never been a female president in the USA up till now? After all, we are supposed to be if not the best country in the world, at least in the very top five.

Aren't we supposed to be the most equal in relation to school, college, etc. Aren't we suppose to be the one with more freedom of everything, including speech, thought, actions? But some of the countries we've called Banana Republics have had women presidents.

Okay I am an officer(senior Lt in command of a platoon of dismounted infantry) in a armed force that is not American. (just a heads up as this is site is mostly covered by Americans) Anyways, I want to know why my NCO's are all so dumb, and how I can perhaps fix it.

Most of them have problems with simple formal logic and mathematics. Most them have a difficult time reading a battle plan map, and require me to give them instructors along the line of "1 section, move up 2 by 2 to that corner and hold it until 2 section secures that roof top, then move 2 by 2 to the small house here" they can not just read my map/plans and understand, they must ask me to explain in detail.

Finally, many of them seem to think that Drill and Uniform sharpness is more importent then combat skills. I have no idea why.

Why question is, why are these men so short on mental skills.

How to improve these men, so I can count on them ?

and they said they wouldn't hire me because of race, and the phone company records it like they do all calls, can that tape ever be given from the phone company if this is taken to court? I understand that the phone company records all calls. Would this tape hold up in the court of law?

Let's face it. 2008 is all about Hillary and Rudy.

What reasons could you give me for voting for Rudy after 8 years of George Bush without "Well, Hilary will ruin everything after 8 great years..." blah blah blah...?

Isn't it a good thing to prevent unwanted pregnancies of Jr High and High school aged girls? The reality of the situation is that there were a significant number of pregnancies among students there. Should we just cluck-cluck and give them a scarlet letter or bury our heads in the sand? Really, maybe you don't think it's right that kids this age are having sex but the REALITY is that some do and some did. Isn't it better to deal with the reality - and more than anything else prevent unwanted pregnancies rather than moralize from on high?

An added bonus for the conservatives is fewer abortions as well.

Wars cost billions and kill people. Negotiated resolutions save lives and spend revenues frugally. Elitist "FOR PROFIT" health care costs billions to care for sick people, whereas health care for all is basically preventative medicine, and is designed to keep people healthy. It costs less to have healthy populace, and a healthy, strong population is an essential component of national defense.

I know that a lot of Americans are against the Iraq war. And a lot of Americans think it was a mistake that the U.S. invaded Iraq to begin with. It seems like some people on the far-left in America want to see the U.S. lose in Iraq, so it will be easier for Democrats to win elections. I know that I don't want to see the United States lose another war. If the U.S. left Iraq with a stable government that was pro-Western, & was willing to help us fight Islamic terrorists then I would consider that a victory. I just think it's wrong that there are some Americans that want to see their own country lose a war, so they will gain politically.

While not really reading much about Hillary Clinton's proposal for healthcare_except for her thoughts on illegal immigrants and the fact they should get all emergency treatments, but not consistent medical care_and also reading briefly about her stand regarding the poor, the uninsured; losses of homes; economical inequalities; retirement and paid family leave; etc., and also recalling two of President Bill Clinton's recent visits to my state, it all has given me a sense that we are already living under another administration.

I know there must be at least 20 candidates running from both parties, and do know a bit about each of them, especially Obama who seems to be head to head with Hillary where fund raising is concerned, as well as media coverage, and interaction with the people. But still, I can't shake the feeling that it's just as if a Clinton were running the Whitehouse!!!

I went to a very seemingly nice jewelry store, and applied for a position there. The lady told me after I handed the application in that we are all Armenians here and That she was Hispanic. Do you want to work with us? What nationality are you? And then she looked down on the ground and said, well, you could go to the store which is a 45 minute drive from here.

Is this discrimination, and could there be enough for a lawsuit.
