Firstly what a great weekend, I actually changes my views and voted for change ! (surprising but true !). I still admire Howard, but can now see he was divisive and maybe Costello wasn't the devil after all. So Will Turnbull be a threat to Rudd in 3-4 years time ? Or is Australias wealthiest Politician far to alianated from ordinary Australians ? Lets face it the spoilt rich electorate he owns is !

I go every single morning, within the first 10 minutes of waking up, and once or twice more throughout the day.... Is taking 2-3 dumps every single day a sign that I have a health problem? Is this a big problem if I want to attend West Point? Is it a problem for the life of a cadet?

My ex-son-in-law, had enlisted in the Army. My daughter was already
pregnant, by someone else. He allowed the baby to have / carry
his last name.
The family (soldier) got recorded, as Being Indebted to the Army,
and he was ''forced to be discharged"...(all particulars unknown to
me right now)..but he Abandoned the wife...to my house (with the
baby less than 20 months old), and he ''got a younger girl (over
age 18 / or about that age), and got her pregnant, within 8 weeks,
of abandoned his family...Before any Divorce, Before Discharge
from the Military Service...
Could this Be Considered Misconduct by a Military Enlisted Person?
Isn't there some type of laws of Military Service, which assist in
this sort of action, to Prevent Abandonment / Abuse / Neglect of
a Spouse / Family?
Their new baby born, before he divorced my daughter.
To Me, This doesn't say much for the Enlisted Persons Conduct
Code of Ethics...but Not Every Soldier is Like This, I would hope
not anyway.

In recent years there have been efforts to lift the "natural born" citizen requirement. What do you think? Should a President be a natural born citizen? Why? Does this still make sense today given the large number or immigrants that make up our population?

At least one candidate implies our tax money can cover everyone for health care.
1) If one cannot afford health care out of pocket, how are we to afford it with our government guaranteeing profits regardless of outcome (health care that ends with miserable results still get paid the same as those with good results), and paying added fees for monitoring and administering the programs?
2) If employers are required to provide health care (while politicians repay support in the form of legislation guaranteeing high profit and strict eligibility that results in many people not able to access health care) and maintain standards that are not imposed on competitor nations, how does this promote employment in the USA and if jobs are lost, who will pay the taxes to support the national program?
3) If it is possible for a national health plan to cover all, will senators and our President then receive the same benefits as those paying taxes to support it (like it was prior to 1992?)

.....do you take that as solid evidence that you are on the right track? Like, for instance, if you are considering a military surge and a democrat says, "No. That won't work. It'll only increase the violence", do you think, "Hey this person is from the party that ran the Vietnam fiasco and got 58,000 of our troops killed, and then tried to blame it on Nixon. Who are they to give military advice?" ....or do you think, "Hey, we're going to be putting in more soldiers, so of course there'll be more violence: - our guys doing it to the bad guys. DUH!!! Useful insight there democrat!!" Do you find as I do that the nonsense and blather from the left serves to stimulate and highlight correct thinking and provides contrast to make the right choice more obvious?

I am thinking about joining the navy. Currently im overweight and have bad body image issues. How are people like me treated by other recruits or personnel? Is it group showers? What can I expect?

I want to do this to better myself and this constant fear holds me back. I graduated college already and i want to go into photo journalism. Do you have any say in where you are stationed?

I guess im just really nervous and looking for some people who have been through it.

I was daydreaming while snow was beginning to fall...and didn't realize I had pushed harder down on the gas. I don't have cruise control, and was on a deserted highway on my way to work on Saturday morning. I was "zapped" in mid-daydream at 78 in a 65. He did not write down the correct year of my vehicle, and didn't ask me to sign the ticket. He informed me of the court date and if I didn't want to go, I could mail in fine to the address on the back.

I know I am in the wrong, and admit to speeding, but I feel like the whole thing is silly...mostly because I don't have a good reason for the ticket.

The last ticket I received was on Christmas Day 2000 when I was driving 45 in a 65 and hit a patch of black ice and lost control and rolled my car into a ditch. I hit nothing, yet still got a ticket for driving too fast for road conditions...which was a horse load a crap....but anyway.

My mom works at an attorney's office and she's going to check with them about options.

My fiance is in the navy, he's almost finished BT, and his A+school will be a year long. I was told that if he does well in it then he will be able to choose shore duty or ship duty. Is that true? I want only a military person to answer this, or a military spouse. PLEASE...

The more people I talk to the more I am convinced that the top tear candidates attract more brainwashed monkeys then people of sense. This is not to say that there are not very well educated people who support Hillary, Giuliani and Obama. I am just pointing out with there name recognition and media propaganda they receive support from all the Americans that are not interested enough to look into it further themselves and those who are not capable of looking into it further.

If a descendant of a native American, who was born in the part of America that is now called Mexico, were to cross the border into the United States would you consider him to be an “illegal immigrant?” Would he consider “you” to be am illegal immigrant?
