Lets assume that Conservative is the opposite of Liberal and Republican is the opposite of Democrat for this one... I am hoping that the Conservatives and Republicans will come out and admit to this...

Shouldn't there be outrage over the ongoing killing of civilians in Iraq. Bombs are dropped and kill innocents (we did all we could to avoid it they say). More civilians have been murdered by the USA than by Al Qaeda. Who are the real terrorists?

I'm 17 and a boy. I wanna join the marines as a rifleman after college around age 25. I just heard from my friend today that the marines wont let me join because 25 is too old and they prefer younger recruits around age 18-20. is this true? I really wanna join the marines but my parents are forcing me to go to college, so i cant go straight outta high school.

There is a wild card in the story of cartel wars and drug murders involving busted loads on American planes in the Yucatan...
Several figures in the story are implicated in another, and if possible even more serious Mexican scandal underway currently.
Kamel Nacif and Jean Succor, prominent Lebanese businessmen in Cancun, are widely reported to be major figures in the dominant drug cartel in the Yucatan whose cocaine was seized on the two American planes.
The two men are also at the heart of a scandal involving a huge child molestation ring which has been providing children as young as five to a clientele of wealthy Mexican and foreign businessmen.
They have been dubbed Narco-Pederastas in Mexican press coverage of the scandal, which is growing so fast that it may become Mexico’s Watergate.
A lot of criminal activity is tolerated, or even officially promoted, in Mexico. Buggering 5-year old girls and boys is not.
The scandal, which we will cover fully soon, has the potential to threaten the established order in Mexico.
Were it to become widely known that CIA-connected drug planes were flying multi-ton loads of cocaine for these men, it might shake the ground in the U.S. as well.

I rent equipment to the studios. It's a new business located in Los Angeles County.. However I have been stiffed on a few invoices. I have a p.o. and contact info for the producer and company but what can I do to get these deadbeats to pay up? Can I put a lien or other legal action with out costing too much money? I don't want to invest too much chasing these slime bags down. Or do we just write off the loss in taxes? Any resource to get the deadbeat company's name out there so they don't screw any more people? Thank you so much.

I have read of a number of soldiers who have refused to fight in Iraq because they believe it is morally wrong. Some have been charged. I view this as so courageous. The attack on Iraq was illegal under international law and these soldiers are incredible in their strength. See Iraq Veterans against the war www.ivaw.org
I'm sure some military people who believe in always obeying orders oppose these guys. Why? They are defending justice and opposing human rights abuses and this is what the US claims to stand for.

I don't quite understand the use of the word "embarrassed" , but that's what Alan Colmes and Harold Ford Jr (both democrats) are saying (as well as of course the republicans), but are the liberals on here going to Defend CNN? I dont care they let a liberal ask a question to the republicans, why not? but it does make you wonder right?? did i miss the republican questions at the Democratic youtube debate? (i saw another question regarding this and some people answered sarcastically, like big deal... well i agree, but it has go to BOTH WAYS... typical liberal answer, they can do it, but conservatives can't...)

Evidently alot of Republicans at the debate last night were clapping for this idea...

But I think the candidates who shook their head no were not exactly booed off the stage either...

Is this philosophy one that is on the extreme end of right-wing politics?

Situation is as follows:
I have orders to go from Ft Lewis, WA to Ft Benning, GA by March. Issues are that it is where my first wife died and not a fond place I'd like to go back to and the house I have here would cost me about $10,000 more than I have, to sell, for the move. Renting isn't an option it comes up $450 less than what my mortgage is. I can find a job for my rank on post with an acceptance letter. I've been to Iraq twice and ain't scared to go back if called. The position I'm going to in GA is a schooling job. In a time where they are trying to find people to fight that have been hiding do you think I would have trouble getting them to let me stay for one more three year rotation and delete my orders? How? Why? Ect....

You're constantly being lied to by the media and our governments, But everyone takes it as truth. Let me dispel a few myths here. If I don't answer right away, be sure I will when I log back on.

Lee Harvey Oswald did not shoot JFK
Reasons for wars since Vietnam have been lies
911 was an inside job
peak oil is a hoax
man made global warming is a hoax
war on terror is a hoax

need I go on??

I would hate to spread misinformation, so if anyone can prove me wrong. Please do so.

Ten guys work at a factory, each makes $1,000 per week with good benefits--then the company is sold.

The new management fires five of the guys, and tells four of those remaining that they will just have to work harder to also accomplish the tasks the five fired guys had been doing. They understand this will take more time, but they are not willing to offer a pay raise. The benefits package is also cut to improve the dividends paid to shareholders and the salary of the CEO.

They then appoint the tenth guy First Assistant Chief Vice Manager, and start paying him $8,000 per week.

Now the ten guys make $12,000 a week between them instead of the ten grand they made last month.

How much has the economy grown?

Does It Really Matter Who Is Or Is Not The Constitutionalist If The Jurisdiction Of The Government Is Communistic Martial Law?
http://www.constitution.org/14ll/14th_amendment_dyett.pdf
(Adobe Required) Scan First

After you read it, then you'll understand why the supreme court will rule that the Bill of Rights DO NOT APPLY to United States Citizens who are under martial law and why the American people have no gun rights, no second amendment rights. Are the police telling you that you can not have a gun in various ways? If they are, you do NOT have a second amendment right or any rights. If government can regulate any right, then they are regulating ALL your rights and your rights are abolished.
