I am 17 years old, male, and in the Army Reserves. When i graduate high school, my M.O.S will be Infantrymen (11-B), but for now, I am a Chemical specialtist (74-D), this is just for the time being. Anyway, at the recruiting center i attend my Future Soldier Program, 5 of us were selected to go to QWEST field in Seattle, before the SeaHawks game, and march out onto the field to give my oath (again). The stadium is going to be filled with THOUSANDS of people, and be broadcasted LIVE on Television. WOW!!! What the hell, i meen, damn!!!

I personnally think so. I believe in pre-employment drug testing and post accidental testing, but not random testing. I think it leaves way for discriminating, unfair way to get rid of an employee in an too many employess sitituation.

The Capitalist Conforming US Government 'Free Money' Tool & Our Tax Dollars Will Pay Again, Not The Rich Insurance Companies Their Rich Owners, Or Their Rich Stockholders.

In Fact, A Single Free Night In A Stadium Or Hotel Supplied By Big Brother Is Money The Insurance Company Is Obligated To Pay, But Gets Free Instead.

I'm Not Sure If You're Aware, But You Also Paid To Refurbish To Superdome In N.O. LA.

Is this how those former Trotskyites and Menshoviks whom are called the Neo-Cons intend to implement their desire to invade Iran and overthrow the democratically elected government of that 3rd world country?

.
can you answer that?

or are you afraid to admit to the truth, the truth being that you don't know so much after all?

I'm a young woman; not your ordinary woman either)

In Illinois, is it legal for a doctor or hospital to give a drug test for marijuana to a pregnant woman even without her consent?

Serious replies only. I don't want to hear any rants about the issue. I want to know the law.

She said "even though John Edwards would look great in the oval office, if you know what I mean", she said Hilary is great at living the American dream and is a great American who would make a wonderful president. Thoughts on this anyone....

The "big box" stores and other corporations are donating generously to the Ca. fire efforts, as they did during the Tsunami and Katrina.

Since they are bashed regularly about their profits, I just wanted to thank them for helping in times of need.

I haven't heard of any "labor unions" doing anything.

And while we're thanking people for giving of themselves, I also want to thank the Marine Corps "toys for tots", The ACLU doesn't give anything. The Code Pink ladies who protest against the military should be taking over that job since they don't want a military.

Even if they were going to make a nuke, they are 4-8 years away from it. And Cheney is getting the same phony intelligence that he got for the Iraq war and anyone with half a brain knows it.
So what's the big rush?

Both India and China were ancient civilizations that fell behind and suffered defeats at the hands of the West in the modern era. Both have huge populations (each around one billion) living in relative poverty compared to Europe and North America. India has better natural conditions, mostly flat land and facing the sea on both sides, while China has large portions of unusable land in the forms of deserts and mountains and a relative short coastline (for its area). India has been a full democracy (by Western standards) for the past fifty years, while in China it is not known when democracy will arrive. However, India is falling further behind China economically.

Up to the late 1970s, China and India's economies were comparable. Since then, as the article shows, China is doing a better job of bettering the lives of its citizens. India is leading in computer software but in almost everything else China is advancing more rapidly. This raises some interesting questions: Why cannot a democracy beat a communist regime? (Note the Western standard says that economic and political freedoms go together--if you want economic prosperity you have to have a liberal political system... or that's what the West is telling Russia and Eastern Europe.) Is it due to culture factors? Did the "Cultural Revolution" in late 1960s and early 1970s at the costs of millions of lives under the communists make it easier for today's China to break with the past and to take off, noting in India some have blamed traditions for blocking progress? Which is a better model for Third World countries to follow in development and modernization? Interestingly, the article does not make note of the factor that China has a Taiwan and a HongKong which significantly aid developments in the mainland, something India does not have

I go to a military college, and I have been learning army battle drills 1-6. Are these even taught in basic or infantry AIT anymore? Most of the operations today are MOUT.

I am not a fan of Hillary Clinton, but intelligence is a quality I appreciate in a candidate. Bush, of course is not running, and all of the GOP hopefuls seem to have an IQ many points higher than the current president, but still I wonder if the dumber someone seems, the better the chances are to be elected.
