They asked what kind of ammo each Presidential candidate uses??
Questions about following the exact word of the Bible? (want to alienate lots of people)
Fighting over which Pres Candidate is harboring illegal immigants??
Weird YouTube questioners with strange questions & squeeky voices & strange looks?
Boo'ing and yelling at Presidential Candidates from the audience??
To me the whole thing seemed out of touch and alienating and disrespectful.

There is well known the fact that this kind of internatinal enlargement will make us lose our identity as individual countries, so no patriotism, no symbols, just humans reaching for a better organisation.

I'm 21 years old, and have wasted 3 years in college, slacking off and underachieving. I know my problem is that I'm not motivated enough to work for what I want, and I think the military will instill that kind of discipline in me. I'm hesitant to join the military, because I'm not sure if this is the "easy way out" for me, or if this is really what I need to set myself straight.

My AFQT score was 99, and my standard scores were 76 for GS, 68 for AR, 75 for WK, 63 for PC, 68 for EI, 66 for AS, 73 for MC, 64 for AO, and 71 for VE. My recruiter tells me I could pick ANY job in the Navy with these scores, and I love the idea that I have so many options... I'm just not sure what I want to do. I want to be able to pick a rate that I will do worthwhile work in.

Physically, I'm a complete creampuff and while my parents are so far pretty supportive, my boyfriend is not happy about the prospect of a long distance relationship. Is the Navy (or even, military) for me?

I am asking a question, that I am actually curious about, I don't want anyone calling me stupid or preaching to me about anything, I want a serious answer to a serious question, and please no sarcastic undertones.
If we made it legal for anyone to come here and let them work and pay taxes, that would help the economy, and nobody would be doing anything illegal. Just give them a background check to make sure they are who they are and reasons they want to come here. What is the problem with that?

I'm thinking these 4 things need serious consideration.
1. NAFTA
2. Better entry and EXIT program
3. Revamp some of the laws so there aren't any gray area's open to interpretation
4. All states need to be on the same page with regards to how and what illegals can or can not receive

What do you think? Is there anything else that needs to be considered?

Illegal Immigrant Rescues Boy in Desert

TERRY TANG | November 24, 2007 01:27 AM EST |


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PHOENIX — A 9-year-old boy looking for help after his mother crashed their van in the southern Arizona desert was rescued by a man entering the U.S. illegally, who stayed with him until help arrived the next day, an official said.

The 45-year-old woman, who eventually died while awaiting help, had been driving on a U.S. Forest Service road in a remote area just north of the Mexican border when she lost control of her van on a curve on Thanksgiving, Santa Cruz County Sheriff Tony Estrada said.

The van vaulted into a canyon and landed 300 feet from the road, he said. The woman, from Rimrock, north of Phoenix, survived the impact but was pinned inside, Estrada said.

Her son, unhurt but disoriented, crawled out to get help and was found about two hours later by Jesus Manuel Cordova, 26, of Magdalena de Kino in the northern Mexican state of Sonora. Unable to pull the mother out, he comforted the boy while they waited for help.

The woman died a short time later.

"He stayed with him, told him that everything was going to be all right," Estrada said.

As temperatures dropped, he gave him a jacket, built a bonfire and stayed with him until about 8 a.m. Friday, when hunters passed by and called authorities, Estrada said. The boy was flown to University Medical Center in Tucson as a precaution but appeared unhurt.

"We suspect that they communicated somehow, but we don't know if he knows Spanish or if the gentleman knew English," Estrada said of the boy.

"For a 9-year-old it has to be completely traumatic, being out there alone with his mother dead," Estrada said. "Fortunately for the kid, (Cordova) was there. That was his angel."

Cordova was taken into custody by Border Patrol agents, who were the first to respond to the call for help. He had been trying to walk into the U.S. when he came across the boy.

The boy and his mother were in the area camping, Estrada said. The woman's husband, the boy's father, had died only two months ago. The names of the woman and her son were not being released until relatives were notified.

Cordova likely saved the boy, Estrada said, and his actions should remind people not to quickly characterize illegal immigrants as criminals.

"They do get demonized for a lot of reasons, and they do a lot of good. Obviously this is one example of what an individual can do," he said.

In the last 20+ years our elected officials have become less and less concerned and aware of what it is to live an average life, and we are supposed to think they will do something for us. Our education system is broke, our tax system is broke, homeland security is an oxymoron, and during elections these are issues that never get fixed, and now infra structure issues from neglect here at home, while we wage war on countries that haven't attacked us, and we can't find 1 guy, OBL, in 7 years. Why don't we give them all the boot this time and next time until they notice? This is our money they are wasting!

I haven't found the source for this one but considering the press over the past few years this may just be correct.

What group do these people belong to?
In the last year ---
36 have been accused of spousal abuse.
7 have been arrested for fraud.
19 have been accused of writing bad checks.
117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses.
3 have done time for assault.
71, repeat 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit.
14 have been arrested on drug-related charges.
8 have been arrested for shoplifting.
21 currently are defendants in lawsuits.
And 84 have been arrested for drunk driving.

Can you guess which organization this is? NBA, NFL, WWF?
No they are not members of these groups.
It's the 535 members of the United States Congress.

The same group of Idiots that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.

It's not just Democrats or Republicans-- It's both of them!

I don't usually complain, but not asking clear questions is also a violation. I guess it's easier to report someone asking for a link, than to actually provide a link.
