If you can answer this please do. Why is it that people talk so bad bout america and the american army but yet they live in america. it does not make any since. I mean our soldiers are fighting so some of us don't have to. they are over ther in iraq trying to stop them from bombing us once more. Our soldiers have givin us things that other countries don't have. EXAMPLE: FREEDOM!! Why is it that people say such harsh words like all the soldiers need to be shot in the head because they are not doing us any good. Why are you living in america if you cant stand behind our troops.
Do you think our soldiers really want to be over there killing people. NO.
Do you think our soldiers are having a blast over there? NO
Do you think our soldiers like being away from their family and freinds? NO! NO! NO!
You dont have to agree on the war or the chocies bush makes but if you can't stand behind the soldiers then why are you in America. without those soilders we would have nothing.

To be honest, I had never really thought about this issue until I met and married someone in the military. It seems logical that you'd want a President who has 1) been patriotic and man or woman enough to be in the military and 2) has the experience since they would become the commander of the entire military. Perhaps then the President would think twice about sending troops to war because he or she would FULLY realize what war is like and wouldn't take the decision as lightly.

It really makes me SICK that most of the senators, congressmen, and other politicians in general do not have children in the military. Sure...it's easy to vote to go to war when it's not YOUR child you're sending to fight.

For that and many other reasons, I believe Presidents should be REQUIRED to have military service. And no, I'm not talking about the elitist, part time sh*t that George W did where he never actually did ANYTHING in the military. Your thoughts?

I recently received a speeding ticket for going 55 in a 45 in MN. I am a MN resident and this is my first moving violation. I had heard that I can pay an extra fee to prevent the ticket from being reported to my insurance; is that correct?

I am unable to go to court because I will be out of town, but without going to court is there any other way to handle this?

Also, I am 17, if that has any effect upon my situation.

I went to New York City for the 1st time about 2 years ago and visited Ellis Island. I myself am adopted from Korea and fully realize the opportunities growing up in the U.S. has given to me. I'm very grateful for that and believe in the "American drean." I was so moved standing there on Ellis Island thinking of how many people came through there with all their hopes and dreams of making their lives better in America.

I'm all for LEGAL immigration. Our country was based on a cultural mix and it's in our best interest to maintain that heritage. But I find it incredible how much people feel sorry for and support illegal immigrants to the point of pressuring politicians to give them rights, letting them drive, paying for medical expenses, etc. They are here ILLEGALLY. What part of illegal do people not understand? The U.S. has a proper way of going about becoming a citizen. People who get away with coming here illegally are slapping others in the face who come here legally

a dear friend of mine was allegedly found dead at his post in '95, and there were several conflicting coroners reports, as well as a great many other suspicious details surrounding his death. less than a week after the funeral, his brother went AWOL, and was later found with a trunk load of C-4. he was arrested, charged, and sentenced to life without parole. i need to contact this brother, as i have information he may find interesting, and i know he might have something he could tell me as well.

i know i am probably going to regret ever asking this one, but i feel it has to be done. i just hope this isn't the last time i ever ask a question here.

Are there jobs in Canada? Is it easy to immigrate to Canada? Is it possible to get an unskilled labor visa? Is there that kind of work available? There is nothing here but food service, sales or jobs that require skills or experience I don't have.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Black Americans are failing to climb the social ladder, while a worrying number born into the middle classes are now actually poorer than their parents, according to a study released on Tuesday.

The report by Brookings Institution scholar Julia Isaacs found blacks were missing out on a cherished American dream that their children will be economically better off.

"Children from middle- and upper middle-class black families experience a generational drop in income that is in sharp contrast to the traditional American expectation that each generation will do better than the one that came before it," she wrote.

Do you think rap music is keeping blacks poor? and have to do with blacks not doing well?

Is it now just a matter of trying to figure out which one will do the least amount of damage to the average American?

It is so expensive to run for President today even if someone could finance their own campaign and not use special interest money that person would have to come from some part of Corporate America and has his/her own interests in keeping things status quo for their benefit.

Have we crossed the line never to return to a candidate that has to be beholden to big business?

I have always had a tickling fetish, and there were girls I went to grade school with who I really wanted to tickle or at least know if they were ticklish on their feet. But I was an outcast and too timid to grab the girls and tickle them because they would probably have somebody beat me up.

I had this idea recently of using one of those "people search" websites, find these girls I went to school with and basically say "I always had a tickling fetish and always wanted to know how ticklish your feet are, so how ticklish are they", and give my return mailing address in case they choose to respond.

Firstly would I be looking at any legal consequences if they got offended, (these women will probably barely remember me if at all since I'm 34 now)? And if not legal consequences, how likely is it that if they got offended they'd send someone to beat me up (maybe in that case I should get a PO Box for my return address)?

I am interested in joining the USAF under Intelligence (1N031) and have the necessary ASVAB scores (94); however, after talking to an ex-military person, I was notified that airmen are deployed in Iraq, regardless of job (and in fact due to the nature of my job I may unfortunately have a preference to be deployed in Iraq).

I am not afraid of killing or dying, but I do not like that idea that anyone who approaches me might blow my unit up; if I were to shoot them after a warning to leave immediately, I would be either commemorated or dishonored, depending on whether or not the person had any weapons/explosives.

So, what are my chances of being deployed to Iraq? What are my chances of gong to a non-war zone?
