I went to the open house at my local fire station and it seems like this is probably the perfect job for me. I couldnt figure out anything about the job that I wouldnt like.

besides maybe having to go out on a call at 3 or 4 am or something like that.

Come on cons have been begging for this question! They love using GWB's screw ups and people's suffering for partisan gain.

If you answer "yes", I say, "Welcome back, Jesus"!

If you say "no", why should anyone expect Shi'ites to share revenue with Sunnis?

Corollary: Bush is pretending to be an incarnation of Christ!

OK I know back in 1915 the Ottoman empire (who ruled Turkey at the time) did kill a lot of Armenians and it probably was genocide. But the Ottoman empire was dissolved after the end of WW1. The government presently running Turkey is totally different.

What is next we pass a resolution condeming Germany for killing Jews or the Japanese for the Battan death march?

Why would they pass a resolution condemming something that happened nine decades ago, now? If it was that important to condem the act then shouldn't it have already been done? I know the Democrat party had to have known about it before now. I know they didn't just recieve a flash over-ride memo from the State Department informing them of what happened in 1915.

Is it any wonder Congress has an 11% approval rating.

Before they deliver the papers to you, is there a place on-line or something?

Does this sound too liberal to you all - the idea of having a voter competency test that if passed, would allow.. lets say 17 year olds to vote. I've heard of the idea of having a simular test for all of the population but mainly I'm just asking about people who are under 18.

I'm pretty sure it's in the US Constitution that you must be 18 to vote and I don't think we should change any of the fundemental things such as that. I just want other opinions on the idea itself.

If so, why? If not, then please tell why as well. I am nuertal. I am not saying yes or no. However when ever I anyone I know (Besides my fmaly members) says "I hate Bush!!!" I ask why. I want to know how they our president has effected them individually. Most people can't give me a good reason. They say "He's just an idiot." So I feel like they are just following everyone else and not really apying attention to their descions. So how has he effected you? Good or bad?

Thanks for you time!!

P.S. Please dont reply and say nasty things directed towards me, I am just trying to get opinions.
Thank you!

I am 100% compliant. I have poassed the halfway mark. My judge said in court that the probation can be terminated by half or even less. My PO has said that she will motion for termination now. She said it months ago. She has not done it. Do I have a complaint. The problem my pO is havin g s that the judge graduated me from all obligation 6 months before half way. I reminded the PO tyhat she siad she would terminate me after I finished all the requirements. She said "I did not know the judgw would let you off. She is a liar. The judge would not do that unless she recommended it.
I expect to be terminate any day. Should I make waves.

was it global warming, which has changed weather patterns causing parts of CA to get less rainfall in recent years making conditions more ideal for wildfires?

was it federal and state mismanagement, who, in their desire to protect endangered species, would not allow residents in some areas to clear brush and dead vegetation?

was it the forestry services insistence of stamping out any and all wildfires, allowing for an accumulation of underbrush over several years and creating conditions which allowed fires to burn hotter, longer, and larger?

or was it, as the fundies might say, really an act of god?

i say its all of the above, except the fundie one.

I live in Pa. I am currently working for a company that is being bought out. I know we will be let go by our current employer and get a offer letter from the new one. My question, do I have to go with the new employer? Can I collect unemployment to find another job somewhere else, or do I have to go with the new company? Does anyone know anything about this?

This one was puzzling. A while ago I decided that they couldn't really want it to pass, because if they did they wouldn't spring text in the dark of night the day before a vote, avoid committee review (it has never even made it out of committee as a stand alone bill) and would have made the actual text say what they pretend it does in all the news stories, rather than create a web of waivers, fraud and future incentives.

Am I the only one who thinks the Republicans aren't the only ones interested in keeping this as an election issue?
