Hey! Is there any one out there with some semblance of a brain?
Why do we have over two million citizens in prison? Have you really assessed the facts positive and negative? I'm sure you pathetic neo-cons have gotten all the facts from your mommies and daddies, but can't you read and do research on your own?
O.k., it's time for your horror stories and disparaging remarks a bout me.Truck on.

My mother passed away and only had two children, my brother, 15 and I, 29. My grandmother took all my mother belongings. She told the funeral people that my mother did not have kids. I need to know what kind of information do I need to take or what steps or who do I need to talk to?

You always hear the word Liberal bantered about in a negative light, like

OH those Bleeding Heart Liberals, Or the Liberal Media....eg


WHO exactly.Are the Liberals? Are they opposed to the Death Penalty, Abortion, War In Iraq.....What are their viewpoints? Why are they generally not liked?

Is someone like a LOU Dobbs, who I can't stand, a Liberal???
What about Rush Limbaugh or that other guy, Glenn Beck? Are they Liberals?

If I think women should have the right to choose, that terrorists should be tortured, and that serial killers should face the death penalty, am I a Liberal? Or, what Would I be considered? Conservative? How come you never hear anyone saying OH those DAMN conservatives??

What about Republican/Democrat----do they fall neatly into the
Liberal Mold? Would Democrats be Liberals?

I'm not really sure what the heck Liberal Means..If anyone could let me know..then I will at least know if I am one or not :)

Thanks guys.

Not sure why, but I was thinking about the different types of combat boots used by the US military.

Then I wondered, what types of boots / flippers do the US marines wear when they have to swim to a beach for an amphibious assault like in the commercial? It sure seems like combat boots would be heavy full of water, and flippers wouldn't be very practical for running over sand.

Links to pictures, if possible, would be nice. Thanks!!

A guy friend of mine is in the marines, and starts boot camp this coming December 17th. He is not in infantry- in fact, he will be building and driving humvees, and will most likely not be stationed in Iraq. I am well aware that anybody, no matter what position they're in, can be deployed to Iraq for infantry. My friend will be serving a four year term in the military, what are the chances that over that time he will be deployed? Will this upcoming election lower the chances of him being sent to Iraq?

I know the war is getting worse, but i'm not blaming anyone, because war is a part of America. It has been since the Pilgrims came here, and even before. We did not get this country by backing down. But, myquestion is ...do you think that WW3 is around the corner?

Because today Osama's Message, and something about the Middle east's gulf guards are taking over..idk...but anyways what are your opinions?

Please no ignorance!

Lou Dobbs was a guest on the Michael Medved radio show this week and made the statement that our government is controlled by corporations and that the middle class has no representation in Washington at all. When asked by Medved when this came about Lou stated that it had started in the seventies.Medved immediatley began chirping in his right wing talk show host way because that would have implicated Ronald Reagan.I don't know if Lou was being a good guest or a coward but he qualified his statement to say that process was not complete until sometime between Bush Sr. and Bill Clinton.

When do you think that the process started?

to wade into the jaws of the enemy and debate in forums held by liberal leaning CNN and MSNBC? Something most republican strategists probably thought was a bad idea. Yet the democrats don't have the courage to debate on FOX. All the democratic hopefuls refused to do a debate hosted by FOX.

That tells me that the democrats are afraid of tough questions. What are they afraid of? That Americans will see what the liberal/socialist agenda of the democrats is truly about?

Do you swing? Have fetishes? Are hooking up every night? Prefer men? Women? Goats?

Personally, I don't discuss my sex life with my boss or coworkers, but perhaps I'm in the minority here? Why is it such a big deal to keep it out of all professions, including the military, just out of professional courtesy?

And before you jump down my throat saying I'm a homophobe, I swing both ways. And I'm ex military. Aren't you glad to know that?

My parents and I were having this conversation and they said that African American men have made it to the final presidency elections, but I am trying to figure out who and when. I think that it's a great thing and I am looking forward to see if an African American man or a woman makes it to the final elections. I am having trouble finding a site that has this history. I want information about only those that have reached the final elections not preliminaries and all that.

I was hired by a very big company two years ago. The person who hired me at the pay rate I'm getting right now has quit, and another person took over from him couple of months ago. The new boss keeps saying that I was hired at the wrong pay rate two years ago, and he is trying to change my pay rate (lower it by 55%), just because he hired other people doing less job responsibilities than I do at a lower rate than mine.
I've been with this company for two years getting the same pay rate, I got couple of raises that basically was thanking me for my hard work. The last raise I got was by the boss who is trying to lower my pay rate.
Is there anything that I can do to stop him? or can a company legally cut by pay rate for no reason after two years, other than that I was hired wrong?
