Politics & Government - 27 December 2007

On one side of the issue that favors UH, they say that UH is the best possible choice of healthcare. Everyone get's treated, regardless of your young, old, employed or unemployed, rich or poor, it dosen't matter. Eveyone get's free health care and the system we have now is run by greedy HMO's who care more about profits than health.

On the other side of the issue however, they say UH is a total mess and it'll only make things worse: long waiting lines, seeing a doctor who may not specialize with your health condition, UH is 'communism', 'socialized medicine', and that our system we currently have now is in fact the best. You are guaranteed to get treated and get medical care so long as you have the money to pay for it.

I watched the movie 'Sicko' by Michael Moore and I must say, I was rather shocked and impressed with the data he provided.

However, I also hear that the man is notorious for twisting up the facts and only showing the stuff that support his views.

The local bike shop gave out our personal information to a dangerous relative that we've been hiding from for 6 years. Now he is now harrassing us by calling and threatening to "visit". Is there anything we can do? Does a business have the right to give out a customers home and cell numbers along with address?

Here's the deal. For our detentions, we used to sit in a room (no more than three to a classroom). We just sat there and did nothing, or write an essay about why we are in detention. Detentions were always 3:15 - 5:15 on fridays. You would just sit in your school uniform for 2 hours and then go home.

But last Friday was the friday that started Christmas Break, so kids were eager to get out. There were about 35 kids in detention that day. About 12 left their room without permission and just roamed the hallways. Two trashed a room when the teacher left for one minute and three left the school (all five were arrested and taken to the police station). The other 18 or so (including me) were perfectly fine.

But due to this, our school is overhauling our detentions.

So here is the deal. You come at 3:15 as usual, but your hands are handcuffed behind your back while you're sitting at your chair.

They said it's to prevent anymore lawsuits, and they said it's legal.

Is it?

When will he get his enlistment bonus? I know no one can tell me for sure but if any of you have re enlisted in the marines how long was it for you? He seems to think Jan 1st but I disagree because his pay check deposits tomorrow and it's not his bonus...does it deposit separately? Can it deposit on other days besides the 1st and 15th? Thank you

Well, my dad hasnt had a day off in over a month. His boss doesnt even give him vacation weeks like other jobs do. He's been very, very cranky lately and he definitely cant go on like this. He works 15hrs a day, 7 days a week. Is it possible he can sue his boss?

I admit, their website defeats me. If it's got some simple way to contact their recruiters or H.R. people or explain the process I can't find it (and I'm familiar with Nevadas and Arizonas).

I'm trying to find how to apply, what the reqs are, when they're hiring/testing next, and various job info.

There are plenty of white supremacists and neo-Nazis who support Mr. Paul's campaign.

Is this just a coincidence? Or should we further analyze his previous statements:

"I think we can safely assume that 95% of the black males in that city (Washington DC) are semi-criminal or entirely criminal."

What is a regular day like for a recruit at Navy boot camp? Is it similar to the marines or army where you are constantly being yelled at? That's what I expect, but I've heard from some people that the RDCs are more prone to showing disgust than they are at fullout yelling at recruits.
Also, as far as the running, do you ever run more than one and a half miles. I am in really good shape and am quite able to run more than one and a half miles, just really don't want to lose all that I've worked for.
Any info would be appreciated. I ship out to NRTC on February 6 and am really excited about it.

I think we got the wrong idea targeting the Muslim people as anti-christ. Concerning the mark of the beast, do you really think he (the anti-christ) will go door to door like a salesman. No he will have agents of evil, regardless if he is not here yet we need to be focusing on how to resist the mark and prepare in that defense rather than being at war with each other. Is the antichrist just going after Hindus, Muslims, Catholics, Orthodox, Buddhists or will he just pick and choose? Refer to the verse in the Bible it said "that no man shall buyeth or sell without the mark of the beast." It is more of a personal temptation and spiritual battle than trying to fight other countries. I am nobody but I also beleive this hasnt happened yet, the anti christ. The very fact of someone trying to forcce a chip in someone else without their consent is a direct violation of the third amendment "No quartering of soldiers in private houses."
