Question for all of you Republicans and Democrats that "support the troops." Why don't you pay them more?
According to www.payscale.com, a lawyer averages $62,895 a year in his first four years working. All this with no risk to life or limb.
Enlisted soldier makes 26 to 30 thousand. They have a little more risk.
Don't you think that such risk and the service you claim to value so highly should be worth at least $60,000 a year?
When will any candidate, Democrat or Republican, offer to pay these poor abused soldiers even a fraction of what they are worth?
And please don't come back with pay numbers that include the value of all of those lovely camo uniforms and green t-shirts that the troops get for "free".
Costs of burial and prosthesis should not be calculated in either.
Second question, how much would you pay them?
Note, I am not in the military nor do I have any immediate family in the military at this time.

2 AnswersOther - Visual Arts1 decade agoWhy did Apple put a wma converter on the windows version but not on the mac version of Itunes?
This is incredible. They actually make the product better for windows? Is Jobs nuts? Stock fell today and ought to keep falling with stupid management like this. How can I convert with a mac? I can't get the "download flip4mac" message to stop on Switch so I investigated some more and found out that the windows Itunes has no problem with wma files. Guess I need the intel mac machine and run the windows Itunes on it. Might just as well get a windows machine and relearn all that wacky code stuff I used to deal with.
2 AnswersSoftware1 decade agoShould atheists be allowed to tax deduct a health club or other social gathering place?
Church goers can deduct donations and a church is really just a social gathering place. Why does God have to be involved for a tax break. Unfair to atheists. You can find the same peace and soul searching answers at many other places.

3 AnswersMusic2 decades agoHow many religions have there been in recorded human history? Which is the real one?
Only one can be the right one with a hotline to God. With so many failed religions, how do you know which one is correct? They all have their own version of a talmud, bible or koran, so the existence of such books can prove nothing.

6 AnswersUnited States2 decades agoWhy do so many feel that they must enforce biblical verse against gays but ignore the ones that allow slavery?
'As for your male and female slaves whom you may have--you may acquire male and female slaves from the pagan nations that are around you.
Leviticus 25:43-45
Pagan nations? This could solve the need for prisons in Iraq. Lets put these kids to work!
10 AnswersReligion & Spirituality2 decades agoIf they can change limbo, does it mean that it is all made up?
They changed afterlife. Only God could know about it. So is it all just a bunch of made up stuff? Adam, Eve, Noah, it is all pretty unbelievable. Similar to Greek mythology. Are we on a rock hurtling through space at 25000 mph and no one is driving? Or if someone is driving, Christianity is wrong? Maybe one of the other religions? The Egyptians had better art direction. Maybe they had it right. Or the Maya, pre-Incan influence had it right. Read Leviticus, come on now people! It says slavery is okay and women should shut up in church. Just asking.
