Politics & Government - 27 December 2007

I once said I disagreed with a fellow YA user (phule_poet) and gave a few reasons for believing so. In response to my question he said I was moronic- I never responded to him. But I did responded to several others who I disagreed with. He mistakenly believed I was including him in this group. He then called me an idiot (among a few other insults). It was then I called him foolish, hotheaded, and idiotic for not thinking his answer through and for insulting me when it was altogether unnecessary. He then reported me and I received a violation notice. Do you think he was wrong for reporting me after he had just insulted me himself- especially after I did not insult him until he insulted me on two separate occasions?

Coal is mostly the result of ancient land plants, and oil is primarily the result of ancient ocean plants. (Life is carbon based, and these materials are carbon based.) If you think the world is only 6,000 years old, then no wonder you think we can't run out of this stuff; it must get formed rather quickly. But funny, I don't think we've ever seen any new coal or oil formed in our lifetime, nor the lifetimes of any relative we've ever known about.

Yes...you can send a check to the treasury to pay down the debt. Would you ever do it? Or is it someone else's problem?

Who will win Iowa for the Democrats? You can write who you want to win, but who you think will actually win too. Be honest. Republicans are free to answer too.

-I think that immigrants should be registered if they come over here (So that no one with some deadly disease comes over here)
-I don't mind learning Spanish at all (Si, estoy aprendiendo espanol)
-They fill in for jobs that no American wants in the first place.

Free Thought Question:
If we are supposed to protect ourselves from terrorists, why would we leave such a gaping hole in our defenses?

One internet site says that if you get or renew a passport at age 16 or older it will last 10 years (versus merely 5 years for 15 and under). Yet others have said that you must be age 18 to obtain a US passport that will last 10 years. What's the REAL truth?

I have recently completed my MBA and have been in contact with Naval recruiters about becoming a supply corp. officer. After OCS and "A" school, I have been told that most junior officers are assigned to a ship that deploys at 6 to 9 months at a time.

My question is whether or not a typcial supply corp. officer would be expected to leave the ship for any form of combat? I was under the impression that as a member of the staff corp., a supply officer would not have the authority to lead men/women into battle.

Thank you for your time!!

I am a 16 year old girl who wants to becomea police officer and I was wondering what is some of the things that most people never tell you or allow you to hear about being a police officer. Because if I am to become a police officer I need to know all the information that I can or advice or even how you liked being a police officer. Thanks
