The katana is very useful for Method Of Entry, CQB etc. They are light and easy to use than other equipment. I advise all troops to get one. (by the way I flogged it from Bujinkan Dojo in Japan after my training shhh...)

I sure do. I keep hearing about how politicians have "fooled" the voters. How politicians lie to get into office. And I think to myself that the people who put them there are greatly to blame also. Many times if people would just use good sense and take a good look at the candidates they could avoid casting a vote for someone that will do their job poorly.

Well right now I'm in college and I don't have time to get a part time job. Money is running low and fees keep popping up. I've thought about joining the Coast Guard Reserves, but I'm afraid of not having time to see my family. And I don't want to be obligated to do this whenever they call for me. I don't know anyone else who's done the Reserves before. So your advise would be greatly appreciated.

Now i have learned two of my nephews got layed off from a big construction company. Bother are journeymen electricians. Within a few days they learned the company had hired more than they laid off. And who do you think replaced my union nephews? You guessed right. They speak spainish, not english, and they are skilled workers. But they make half as much as my union nephews who are now on unemployment until the try to find something that pays enough. I will bet that story is typical all over over the usa. Yes, and i have a neighbor who runs his own air conditioning and heating contract company. He is being eaten alive, he says, by people from the south who can do the work and have cut his business in half over the past couple of years. Millions of contractors (carpet layers, brick masons, plumbers etc.) are suffering. But the government thinks immigration, waves of people crisscrossing the border is good. I don't and it is natural they would come and take over. Need new blood in DC!!!!!

Since January when the Dems took power in both houses they have not been able to do anything they promised?

Is it Bush's fault that he has not been impeached??

Why aren't the troops home?

ok so to all you people say that mexicans need to go back to were they came from and the border needs to be secured...i know alot of people that come here with a visa from all over the world especially south america... well they only have like 1 year to stay here but they end up staying for ever they have kids here... and they usually have ok jobs nothing like farming or anything hard labor... so why don't you guys have a problem with that only with people that cross the border... any ways i just wonder... i think they destroy the middle class americans more than mexicans working in the farms... i'm just saying...

the eu plans to rule the uk is totally unacceptable. the long-range benefits are wrong. germany has many long-range plans to change the world at the outset of ww2. rome has long-range plans and they lasted longer but there is no roman empire anymore. what is most important to you? a cheap sony plasma tv or your friends and family and our history and tradition? why cannot everybody see what is happening? must be some drugs in the water system. nobody wants to stand up. that was never the case before. what the hell is wrong with everybody?

What's the reason people don't vote for a minor party? It was better with the Democrats having the Senate balance of power...now the Greens seem to be the biggest minor party, yet still under 10% of the vote.

Is it simply just a case of people beileiving their vote is wasted on a minor party? All this "2 party preferred" crap in the media seems to lead voters into voting Labor or Liberal. I've voted Labor in the past few Elections but will probably choose the best Minor/Independant in my Electorate that addresses my issues.
A 'wasted' vote maybe, but a vote for what I want done in my electorate/country.
(To keep this a "questions" post...What's the reason people don't vote for a minor party?)

During summer vaction I went to Japan for some college thingy and when we went there I met this Japanese boy who spoke english and we started debating over WW2. He stated that when Japan attacked China they only killed 200 people in this city instead of about 10 million people which I believe. He believes that the Chinese and Koreans made it up so they could hit on the Japanese and make it seem as they are a bad country. Then he began to continue saying that Japan has already apologized to China 17 times giving them a huge amount of money each time they apologize, and he says the only reason why they say Japan hasnt apologized is becasue they want money. Then I started babling about how wrong he is. Is there anyone out there that with this Japanese dude, if yes, why, I mean seriously?

I don't understand the point of the war in iraq. please do not get mad because my opinion is different, but I really would like to know what good it is doing to either of our countries.
some people say the reason we're in a war with iraq is because of the 9/11 terrorist attack. okay, didn't al quadea attack us? not saddam hussein, wasn't it osama bin laden? from afghanistan? i understand that saddam hussein was a bad person and should have been gone, but if we are in a war because of terrorism, why would we fight iraq when they were not the ones who attacked us.

i'm just naming numerous things that i heard were the reasons for this war. another was because they were looking for weapons of mass destruction in iraq, but they couldn't find any. if there is no weapon, then why do we continue to fight.

another reason i heard was because we wanted to help the iraqis. okay, how exactly are we helping them? they don't have a stable military, so basically we're just killing them off? (c)

First: TORTUE does NOT work, My God pick up a study and READ it!

What is happening to this country where we are like some 6th world nation and debating on the USE OF HUMAN TORTURE!

My God.........is this really AMERICA? The America I know and love, the Shinning City on a hill.

Are we NO better than Brutal Dictators? I've heard some say if this saves American lives then I'm for it........HUMAN TORTURE does NOT WORK...people will say anything under those conditions.

IF we continue this we are NO BETTER than them...my God people wake up!

If we allow this to happen and DON'T stand up....they will not ONLY torture terrorist...they will like everything else EXPAND it's USE. Well now we have to torture drug users...then have have to Torture some that are behind on their property tax...IF you think that's crazy you might want to read about Nazi Germany and it steps.

I'm a conservative Ronald Reagan Republican and I'm outraged by this BS!!

What say you??

The Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee were all in high dudgeon over the issue of water board interrogation. Why won't they simply outlaw it? What are they waiting for? It could easily be passed as an amendment to the Defense Authorization Bill.

Is it wrong to say "Jesus Christ" while at work or anywhere else for that matter? AND IS YOUR BOSS ALLOWED TO STOP YOU FROM SAYING THIS because 1 person says they are offended by it?
By the way the person who claims to be offended says "Oh My God" frequently. Is one better? less "offensive" than the other?
