I am what I am and you may not agree with me but, that is okay because we are all entitled to our opinion. I will not always give you the answer you want but, you asked the question. I am over 40 and a former Army Infantry soldier. I have also been a Deputy Sheriff and am happily married with a large family. I give my opinion readily and you can't hurt my feelings. A great man once told me, "Don't sweat the small stuff and guess what, It's all small stuff." I try to live by that philosophy and so should you unless you want ulcers. I love the Lord and try to serve Him every day

  • Can anyone tell me if it is normal to see a check engine light come on 4 times in a month?

    My wife just bought a 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan and in the first month of owning it,she has had to take it in to the shop for a check engine light. Every time, they have given her a different reason for the light to come on. The maintence manager said that this could be something as tiny as a pin prick. Is this normalor has my wife bought a lemon?

  • Since when did it become so popular to hate your local Police Official?

    I'm feeling pretty mean today, especially after reading all the hate and anger directed against those who have taken an oath to serve and protect you. I know it comes with the territory of the lonely life led by our public servants but, I feel that there seems to be even more hatred spewed from the mouths of the people against the cops so I think that it is time for all Law Enforcement Officers to take a week or two off from your duties. Let's say from the first week of September, you all just stay home for 2 weeks. Open the jails and let the all those poor picked (they are all innocent, right?) people out for 2 weeks and no ticket writing, no domestics, no burglaries or robberies, or drug busts. I mean these people who are saying you aren't needed can handle it right? What do you think?

  • why are there no Illegal immigrants answering the legitimate questions on this site?

    When it comes down to brass tacks, This issue or problem I have is about Illegal (emphasis on illegal) immigration. I have seen so many questions asked and it still boils down to legal vs. illegal.

    I have yet to see an intelligent response that would change my mind and make me want to welcome illegal immigrants into my country.

    One other issue. I am American Indian but, I will tell you that this is not what makes me a native American. My ancestors also came from another country before Columbus or the Vikings. What makes me a Native American is the fact that I was born in The United States of America. If you were born here, you too are a Native American. If you were bon somewhere else, you are an Immigrant. If you did not follow proper procedure to come here, You are Illegal. It really is that simple.

    So, the question is; can anyone show me where there is any benefit to giving amnesty to illegal immigrants?

    Just so you know, trolls will be blocked and/or reported.

  • Has anyone read this news article?

    Two illegal aliens, Ralphel, and Enrico, probably believed they would easily overpower a home alone 11 year old Patricia after her father had left their two story home. It seems the two crooks never learned two things, they were in Montana and Patricia had been a clay shooting champion since she was nine. Patricia was in her upstairs room when the two men broke through the front door of the house. She quickly ran to her father's room and grabbed his 12 gauge Mossberg 500 shotgun. Ralphel was the first to get up to the second floor only to be the first to catch a near point blank blast of buck shot from the 11 year olds knee crouch aim. He suffered fatal wounds to his abdomen and genitals. When Enrico ran to the foot of the stairs, he took a blast to the left shoulder and staggered out into the street where he bled to death before medical help could arrive. It was found out later that Ralphel was armed with a stolen .45 that he took from another home where he stabbed the owner to death

  • Does anybody really care about illegal aliens invading America?

    My wife and I have decided to boycott Wal-mart due to their catering strictly to the "spanish only" community. This is America where we speak english. I have traveled all over the world and the one common language spoken worldwide is english. Why do we cater to a people who demand that we change our culture and way of life to suit their desires?

    When will we wake up and realize that we have been invaded and are at war with Illegal aliens who threaten our way of life and the freedoms that we have cherished? If you say they aren't a threat then answer me one question. Will you be able to live on your retirement pension if all you get is social security? I know that I won't because that revenue has been sucked into the welfare system which has been supporting the illegal aliens for too many years. Ask yourself why a person who doesn't speak any english, doesn't have a driver's license, owns a small business and 3 newer model cars and still gets welfare checks. Do you know this person?

  • Have we sunk so low?

    What has happened to the morals our parents tried to teach us? Tell me if you believe in the saying "If it feels good, do it."

    Explain why you agree or don't agree.

    I personally am afraid for our society today and feel that if we as a society lived in the time of the old testament, we would all be burning from God's anger. I think that we need to wake up and realize the sordid path we are traveling down. I am afraid for the souls of our children. Am I wrong to be concerned?

  • Need advice from parents regarding my 18 year old daughter?

    My oldest daughter is a senior and is 18 years old. She has some weight issues and deals with low self esteem. Her weight is partly because of her chest. I don't know what size bra she has but it is extremely large. We have tried in numerous ways to help her, motivate her, and love her but, she only half steps everything in life. She doesn't have a job even though we have done everything to try to help her with applications. She makes excuses for being lazy. She doesn't help with household chores. We got her a car thinking this would help but, she doesn't seem to care. She has begun eating almost uncontrollably gaining even more weight and we just found out that she stole 180 dollars from my wife's purse. When confronted, she tried to lie about it but, returned 100 of it. My wife wants to kick her out but I don't think that will help. I work out of the country and won't be finished until December but, I am at a loss as to what to do here. Any legitimate advice would be appreciated.

  • Why should gay and lesbian people be given special rights?

    The Constitution provides for the rights of all persons regardless of Color, Race, Religion, or Sex. This covers everyone in the world. So why do the gay and lesbian people feel they should have their own special rights when, by their own admission, they are a sub group of any or all of the four mentioned above?

  • Has anyone ever heard of a song called "lonely side of love"?

    It's about a cop who gets killed in the line of duty and his wife has to go on. I heard it once when I was riding in a friends car on her CD but, I can't get ahold of her to ask about it. It was a sad song but sounded cool. Kind of like 50's style with country mix.

  • Why do people insist on getting medical advice from complete strangers on the internet?

    Everyone seems to want perfect strangers to tell them whether they are pregnant, what to do about my childs pain, or should I have this type of sugery. Why would they want to take advise from a person they haven't met?
