I'm talking about healthy adults aged 18-42 of course. Because if his Army is stretched to the breaking point, why wouldn't his supporters join the Army if they are eligible?

Don't they know that soldiers are being 'stop lossed' and extended and sent back to Iraq 3 or more times? Don't his supporters want to fight for what they believe in, and help out those who are being forced to support his insane policies?

Valentine's Day used to just be for lovers...now, it's a commercially overblown holiday like Christmas. Early January, we're already bombarded with shelves and shelves of heart shaped candy boxes and teddy bears holding plush hearts! Valentines for your coworkers..valentines for little Suzie's classmates...valentines for your kids...valentines for your friends...valentines for your Grandmother, stepson, and Uncle Joe....Where does the maddness end? I told my sig. other that I don't want to even celebrate Valentines Day this year because it is so commerciallized. People are literally made to feel inadequate or hurt if they don't give or receive a $12.99 chocolate heart on the commercially designated day. Why do we need to be told WHEN to show affection for people we care about? What is wrong with this country?

This is a cut a paste from another YA user discussing AA:


You have a point, but what about the people who cant be hired because they don't fit into the "ethnic hire" category? Don't to think this is discrimination as well?
For example: under affirmative action, there must be a certain percentage of "ethnic" interviews and hires in order to satisfy EOE guidelines. If a person is hired just to fill the "ethnic hire" quota, and the person out in the hall applying for the position who may be better qualified, is turned away because he isn't considered "ethnic", the company loses a great opportunity to make that hire, but cant because they are forced to meet a quota.
You mentioned in your question, first part: "employers DON'T always hire people for merits" Well, you are exactly right because affirmative action forces them to make a quota hire, not always the best hire.

I have this theory that women are just as sexual as men are. The only reason why they don't act like men is because of pressure from society.
Imagine a culture where little boys were taught that sex is immoral and bad and they must be virgins before marriage. Any guy who did have sex before marriage was as bad, unclean and given no respect by either sex. The little girls were taught that to be a "real women" they would need to have sex with as many guys as possible. And any girls who did have sex with many guys were treated with respect and admired. In this culture the media also protrays this message over and over again.
Now in a cultural like this do you think the sexual behavior of men and women would be different?
Really think about this, I think the sexual behavior of men and women is largely because current socialization. What do you guys think?
