My cousin is attending her first ball and she picked out a gown similar to this one. I don't know how the front looks but the back is exactly like it ands the color is gold. I have been to three balls already and pretty much have an idea of what to wear and what not to...BUT...I have mixed feelings about this dress. Please let me know what you think. Thanks!

I mean come on, our soldiers are over there, at least we can give them a little support. They deserve it, fighting for a cause I believe in. I mean come on:
1- They attacked the Twin Towers, unprovoked
2- The fighting between the Sunnis' and Shiites are tearing the Middle East apart and we just can't sit back and watch it happen
3- Even if you believe we should be over there, we have started a war and we need to finish that war, we cant just leave in the middle of it
So can someone please tell me why everyone seems to be anti-war?

I joined the marines and i felt like i was pressured into an mos which i didnt want and a ship date that i didnt want either. Im about to leave really soon like 3 weeks after i graduated and a week before i turn 18. I was thinking if i dropped out since i asked him if i could change anything and he told me flat out no since i went through meps and all that crap. So i was thinking if i dropped out is it at all possible i could get back in and get a different mos? or is that totally out of the question

I really want to move, my city is toooo expensive and it's getting worse.

My dh has a civilian job (not miltary!) at a base and can transfer anywhere with a base hospital.

Any sites where I can find real facts on cheaper places to live near bases? I need real numbers.

Rev Fred Phelps was forced to pay 11 million dollars when his anti gay church protested at a soldiers funeral with signs saying "soldiers die, god laughs", "god hates fags", "god hates america", and "god loves dead soldiers". The only people i could see god hating is these contradictory hypocritical jackasses. I don't believe god hates anyone, for we all make mistakes and fighting for your country is no mistake, and we are all his children and he loves us.I don't think he luaghs when someone dies, rather, i think he cries. I don't know what kind of ruthless, heartless god they worship, but it is not our god, for although in their eyes it is, it has been molded to fit their views so when someone asks them to justify their bigotry they have "god on their side", which is not true anyone here agree with that guy?

A total of 147 troops have killed themselves in Iraq and Afghanistan since the wars began, according to the Defense Manpower Data Center, which tracks casualties for the Pentagon.

Add the number of returning veterans and the finding is that at least 430 of the 1.5 million troops who have fought in the two wars have killed themselves over the past six years. And that doesn't include those who committed suicide after their combat tour ended and while still in the military - a number the Pentagon says it doesn't track.
