They are paid TEN TIMES more than what the troops get paid, have NO ACCOUNTABLITY when it comes to rules and laws, and the cost of this "army" DIVERTS much needed sources from the REAL troops who are coming home injured, maimed, traumatized! More are ending up HOMELESS and at a faster rate than during Vietnam! Will Bushies/"fiscal conservative"/Blackwater cheerleaders please have the decency to put your money where your mouths are and take the tab on this outrageous waste of our hard-earned tax dollars?

Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Brittney Spears. None of them are doing jail time like the average citizen would have to do. And then they want us to respect the law. I havent seen a celeb do serious time even though the evidence is overwhelming. Bet they dont let O.J. off. They need to stay on these pretty girls like they do O.J. I guess its ok for me to go out and drink and drive if theyre only giving out minutes of jail time. Overcrowding was the excuse. What a joke. I have no respect for the law anymore because there is no equality in it. They can also hit you with tazers whenever they feel like it. Dont try to deny it police officers, its all over the news. Bring back the 10 percent that were good cops!

Let's look things it this way.
Conventional wisdom has it that a Democrat is going to win the White House.
Hillary is the clear leader among the Democrat contenders, and she is going to stay there.
And become President.
Which means many of you are probably going to spend the next 4 years 'Hillary-bashing'?

Hillary is the ONLY 'no-nonsense' candidate (from BOTH sides) who has the strategy, strength and determination to do what is necessary the bring the US back from the brink of disaster. On many issues.

And she has Bill to fall back on for advice.

Folks, get real.
She is the one for the job.
Opinions?

What do you think - if we stop fighting in the Middle East - will there be an increase in attacks on US friends and possibly on US soil?

US service members........Have they added the dollar value of military benefits vs benefits received by civilian contractors? Benefits do have a dollar value.

I've heard all the horror stories, I know it isn't going to be fun, but I just want to know if there is anyone who has experienced basic training recently that could give me some tips.
Are you expected to be able to do all the push ups and running etc or will you get trained for that? Can you bring pics. How soon can you get mail.

the Constitution has no such thing but says simply "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof?"
In other words, for those of you that say "Seperation of Church and State!", they will not make any religion the main one of the US. That is why the US is not a Chrisitan Nation even though the majority is Christian. It says nothing that people cannot be religous upon entering the office, or going by their own personal beliefs when passing laws and such.

An analogy asserts that because two things are comparable in some respects, they are comparable in other respects as well.

This analogy false because warfare aims for clear victory over a specific, organized enemy, whereas the complete eradication of illegal drugs is impossible and, in any event the "enemy" isn't well defined: the drugs themselves? users? sellers? producers? the producing nations?

If you agree of disagree please state why.

India was never bombed with an atom bomb, but the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed with the world's first atomic bombs.
Today both the cities are far, far better than Delhi or Bombay or any other Indian city. I mean in less than 60 years time the Japanese could rebuilt their cities to the world class level, but Indians couldn't. Does that mean the Indians are inferior and they cannot build a world class city?
I've seen both Delhi and Tokyo. Delhi's population is less than half of Tokyo, but still in Tokyo there is no chaos and disorder. People get on and off the buses and metros with patience. Pedestrians are also respected. No littering or spitting on roads, and people in this world class megapolis and one of the the major financial centers(along with New York and London) don't take pride in speaking in English. Japanese is everyehere and still its a major financial center. And in Delhi everything is oppostie.
So please tell me, are they superior to Indians?

Anyone who thinks national healthcare will work needs to go and sit in the social security office and get a new social security card. While there, imagine that all those people are waiting to see a doctor and that they are sick. Next, go to the passport office and pictue these as sick people trying to get to a doctor. Then, come back here and report what you've seen.

Rudolph William Louis Giuliani III is an interesting character.

His father, Harold Angel Giuliani spent time in Sing Sing prison for felony assault and robbery.

He dodged the draft.

As district attorney of New York, he would arrange public, high profile arrests of people and let them go for the news coverage.

As mayor of New York, he attatched his name to NYC police commissioner Bill Bretton's clean streets campaign, then forced him out when Bretton recieved national attention. When Giuliani took over the campaign, misconduct, abuse, and even murder became common in the NYC police department.

A national drop in crime and age of prosperity under Clinton was responsible for the crime drop in NYC under Giuliani. The former mayor knowingly took credit for it anyway.

Supports gay rights, gun control, and abortions.


He tried to cancel elections.

In the eight years prior to 9/11, he took practically no precautions for a response to a terrorist attack even after the 1993 bombing of the WTC.

He has been slammed by the International Firefighters Association for his "egregious acts" against the firefighters that died in 9/11.

He ignored air quality concerns during the clean up and corporate use of the area at and around ground zero. Today over 7,000 suffer from health conditions, many as drastic as cancer and rare blood conditions, because of his deliberate oversight.

Well known Iraq War and Bush & Cheney, Co. cheerleader.

Broke up with his wife on television to marry his mistress.

Has won three Muzzle awards and a lifetime Muzzle for "stifled speech and press to so unprecedented a degree, and in so many and varied forms, that simply keeping up with the city's censorious activity has proved a challenge for defenders of free expression."

I honestly can't think that it has been. Sure, politicians have changed thier view on the Iraq war as have most Americans.

But can we say that it is because of anti-war protest, or would it have more to do with the rising death toll, cost and the indefinite stay?

I'm asking for opinions, not needless rants of the mindless in an attempt to act intelligent. Not addessing everyone, just hoping for respectible answers.

My point is, in the news, a man on Death Row yesterday, got saved because people think it is inhumaine to kill him by leathal injection, but he is on death row for killing a child.

But in this Country it is legal to kill a fetus, that clearly has a heartbeat, and is a growing life inside a woman's body. That it is not inhumaine to murder and tear apart a fetus, but it's perfectly ok for a man to stay alive after killing a little boy.

Where is the logic in this, I just don't understand the logic of the mindless that defend a man for killing a child but, women can walk into a facility even at as late as 17 weeks pregnant, and kill their child without punishment. What the hell is wrong with people?

I want intelligence in opinion, not the rantings of the intellectually impaired, and try to be nice please!
