Then why don't they attack countries like Norway which is rich and in my opinion have more liberties. Lets not forget they are also much closer target.

Why does it seem that America has so many enemies while the rest of the world doesn't?

I was in the Army for 4 years as an Air Traffic Controller. I got out on an honorable discharge, no type of bars for re-enlistment. And I got out as an E-4. I ETS'd in June 2005. I've recently started school and have 48 chrs completed. My question is: What as far as college would I need to enlist as a Warrant Officer? Also, can someone briefly describe the process of reenlisting in my situation as a WOC? Is it complicated?

As a Massachusetts teacher, I'm glad that Mitt is giving me the credit for my part in this and not trying to use this statistic for his own political gain.

I'm sure Mitt worked really hard to help these students with their academics.

Shouldn't Ebay and Paypal be exposed to be the greedy, unethical companies that they are. If you don't believe me about what kinds of Nazi and dictatorial companies that they are just go to these siteas and read the scores of people who have been suspended and ripped off big time from these companies.

Remember the republican stance on the Teri Schaivo situation? They were fighting to keep her alive... make sure she had the right to keep her life going...

((I was AGAINST ending her life (even though i am Liberal))

but... my question is...

What if she hadn't had insurance... would you have been so eager to keep her alive? Would you have fought and argued to keep her alive if she wasn't covered under her insurance?


Is human life and health a right ONLY if you already have insurance??? or do we all ALWAYS have the right?

First, I don't care that Romney is Mormon, nor do I care about any other candidate's religion, BUT I would like to know if it informs them on policy issues and if so how? I think that is legitimate. Also, there IS a separation of church and state inasmuch as we don't want our President or Congress beholden to anyone except for the People (us).

So, with that said, Tim Russert asked Romney whether he thought that the Mormon Church's policy of denying African-Americans the right to practice their religion until the late 1970s was wrong, Romney refused to denounce the Church's policy as to not offend his Church...that I have a BIG problem with. If you asked any of the Christian candidates was it right for their Churches to justify slavery, I would hope that most would denounce that practice. So, if Romney couldn't openly denounce overt racism by his Church to not offend them, how can we expect he'll answer to us and not the Mormon Church.?

Currently some 40 million people don't have health insurance and pretty much avoid the doctor unless its an emergency; so if you give them insurance and they can now see the doctor - how much longer are we all going to have to wait to see the doctor? I mean it takes a few weeks to get important tests done now - how long after we start competing the the formerly uninsured?

Yesterday my brother called me up and said he had two tickets for a concert and wanted me to go. I initially said no because he always finds a way to get into trouble, but he promised to be good so I agreed to it. We had a few drinks before the show so we could really feel the music, but he continued drinking and got smashed. He did behave himself for the most part and I was proud of him. When the show was over he found me in the crowd and told me he had met a girl and was going to get a ride home with her. I didn't object, so I went home without him and went to bed.
This morning I woke up and found him passed out in the backyard, beaten, bruised, shirtless and handcuffed. I quickly drug him into the house and noticed two puncture wounds on his back, so I think he got the taser. Should he turn himself in? He had no wallet last night so the cops didn't get his ID. No one knew who he was and I know he didn't tell them his name. Anyone know how to get handcuffs off? What should I do?

Not trying to slam Arkansas but it alone with Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and a few others have always remained in fiscal ruin. It isn't due to the citizens who are able bodied and willing.

This is my biggest arguement against neo-conservative fiscal policies. Their states have always been poor, which to me is an issue of leadership and direction, not an issue of the residents themselves other than they continue to vote in the same type of politicians every time. Your thoughts on this... AND (without insults) please offer a counter explanation as I am open for discussion.
