Isn't that some form of Bank Fraud or Robery.

Every day on YA I read posts saying we should borrow more money and never pay it back.

Some users ever want to nuke foreigh banks claiming if we destroy the banks we can have more tax cuts.

Is this Jessie James Economics the New VooDoo Economics

Army statistics released this week show the number of desertions rose in the four years before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on America prompted the Bush administration's war on terrorism. Desertions then fell for three years but they have been rising steadily again in the last three years as the increasingly unpopular campaign in Iraq has worn on.

Even with the recent increases, less than 1 percent of the Army's active duty force of 507,000 soldiers desert, according to Army data. That compares with 3.4 percent of the 1971 force that fought the Vietnam war, Maj. Anne Edgecomb, an Army spokeswoman, said Tuesday.

And even with a sizable boost in the rate of prosecutions, the overwhelming majority of cases still are handled through administrative discharge. Some 5 percent of cases go to trial, Edgecomb said.

"The three primary reasons deserters cite for their actions are dissatisfaction with military life, family problems and homesickness," she said.

power everything in it with off-grid power,
Not use any digital communication devices,
and keep the drapes drawn at all times,

how long do you think it would take before a search warrant was issued to search that person's home even if they had no prior criminal record?

we had something going only after I withdrew,
and by that I mean we had a great friendship with
a hint of romance,
I believe in staying pure until marriage so we never did nothing like that,
I want to send him a letter saying:
"I don't want that life-if I can't have you-I Miss You-And I am Sorry"

Don't ask about the sorry part, ya I feel ashamed for something I did, but it's not cheating or anything close to that!

If I send it to the college (it's a small community one - where everyone "talks" ), WILL HIS BOSS HAVE TO READ IT and
is that a bad idea (writing the letter) ?

doesn't that guarantee AIPAC control over U.S. foreign policy for four more years? Does this link show that AIPAC decides the leadership in Israel and the U.S.?

the us navy is being mean and to strict! anyone who has any kind of charge cannot get onto the base to work. that is garbage! i served 5 years in the navy on the base and never stole anything or did anything bad or wrong to the navy. now the navy is unfairly pointing the finger at me like im a bad person or a suspect!!!!!!!!
how would you feel if your brother or sister or child had a good job that they worked hard for and believed in and tried to do everything right. then the navy just took away that job for no reason.
not like the person did anything wrong to the navy or on the base even. was not a state or federal problem. lets say this person has kids and mouths to feed and with out warning the navy just takes away the base id? no more money or food or benifits or anything all because of a charge from 3 or 4 years ago that the person completed all requirements. completed what the courts said and paid thier price. SHOULD THEY BE PUNISHED AGAIN AND AGAIN? i wasnt part of 9/11.

I mean, in all due respect the first amendment protects their right to protest to make this a hate crime, but at the same time it also protects the true idiots and ignorant of the world.

To me, this whole case is overblown. From the prosecution of Mychal Bell, to the protests that have occurred since.

What do you think?

-Internet voting
-Inform citizens on national, regional, and local issues

All answers I think are correct and the purpose of this question is really intended to start a dialogue between far-minded citizens of the world.


Thanks.

I have a hearing date of Jan. 7 for my DUI charge. I'm certainly going to be found guilty and have to do 24 hours in jail immediately following the case. That is the day of the college football national title game, and if WVU makes it, it would ruin my life to not be in New Orleans with my family for the game. It's the one thing me and my brothers and dad do every year together. Is there any way that I could petition to the court to allow me to plead guilty or no contest early, and just sign off on it and get my jail time and hearing done for in mid December so I wouldn't have to miss the game? State of WV, by the way...
