  • Why is there such an out cry to withdraw all troops from only Iraq?

    Why there is some data that indicate we have bases in 130 countries and over 700 military bases, many of these are actually just military attachment to protect the embassy or consulate? I do not hear the same outcry to get out of Germany, Japan, England, or S. Korea. Is the mood to close all major military establishments on foreign soil and to establish a policy of total military isolation? If we are talking only about Iraq, why is it different from the other countries? Without bases our options for a political solution to a crisis become almost zero. And the option for a limited conflict becomes almost zero. The next really big war, will be fought with what we have at the time, there will not be any debates, there will not be time to build up troops, no time to call up the reserves, move troops, or build more equipment. It will be over in less than a week.

    This is when you have been with your partner for a short time and you are so horny you will have sex anywhere, even in the kitchen.

    This is when you have been with your partner for a long time. Your sex has gotten routine and you usually have sex only in your bedroom.

    This is when you have been with your partner for too long. When you pass each other in the hallway you both say "screw you."

    Which means you get Nun in the morning, Nun in the afternoon and Nun at night. (Very Popular)

  • Why does the National Democrat Party object to picture ID to vote?

    I have seen numerous interviews of the National Democrat Party representatives over the last few months about their objection to requiring picture identification for citizens to vote.

    They content that not everyone has a picture ID. This sounds like a very weak excuse, because all states offer picture ID's for citizens that can provide specific documents.

    I contend picture ID would reduce chances of double voting, and etc.

  • Will Michigan and Florida Democrats not vote in their primary/caucus, because the DNC will refuse delegates?

    Both Michigan and Florida have moved their primaries to before Feb 5, a violation of DNC rules, and in August the committee met and ruled unless the states change their primary date to Feb 5 or later--the delegates will not be allowed at the National Convention.

    I would be one PO citizen if I lived in any one these states. The cost of holding the primary and supporting the democratic party and not to have representation would cause me to look else. Maybe this is a just a political move to get Democrates to vote in the Republican Primary in order to affect their convention delegates.

  • Why is President Bush such a major topic on this site?

    President Bush will be out of office in about 13 months.

    President Bush does not make the laws of this country.

    Yes, there are issues with his inaction on illegal immigration. And he has veto many bills presented to him, yet he has vetoed less bills than any President in the last 20 years.

    There is no draft. Unemployment is low.

    Would it not make more sense to look to the future-Presidential and Senatorial Candidates? 32 new Senators will be elected in 2008.

  • How will the United States respond to illegal alien riots?

    Currently we see almost weekly demonstration of illegal aliens in the United States demanding citizenship.

    Currently we provide them will the freedom of assembly, freedom of speech, freedom of free movement, no cost access to our public healthcare, citizenship for their children born in the US, access to most of our social programs, and etc.

    Now the illegals want the right to vote, immunity from prosecution for illegal entry, immunity from failure to pay income taxes, right to access our social security benefits, right to access our state higher education systems, and etc.

    I foresee that they will at some point become more aggressive and violent in their demands. The race riots of the sixties will be small in comparison to the illegal alien riots that we will see in our future.

    How do you see our government and citizens responding to these actions.?

  • Would the Congress and Senate Act Quickly?

    The constitution states in the event of invasion a state can form a militia. If the southern states declared an invasion was occurring due to the mass numbers of illegal immigration and made plans to form a militia under the constitution provision, would the federal government speed up its efforts to solve the illegal immigration problem or would they react in a negative manner to the states? How do you think they would react?

    Why has the law requiring 18 year old males to register for the draft not been challenged in federal court being sexually bias against males? Woman talk a big talk about equility, but I don't seen them supporting males in demanding equal rights requiring them to register.

  • Have you ever felt you had lost the grace of God?

    Some years ago, when everything in my life seemed to be going wrong for month after month. I worked very hard at solving my problems , but nothing seemed to work and I would even get additional problems. I turned to prayers for help, my prayers seemed to never be answered, I felt like I had lost the Grace of God.

    I have been in many life threathen situation sand near death situations in my life, but I never had the fear that tore at my soul like this feeling. It was at this time I discovered for myself that Hell would be the lost of God's love forever.

    And it was rather odd that once I accepted this belief things started changing in my life, and I have tried to never take his love and grace for granted.

    Is it possible I lost the Grace of God and God sent me a message?

  • Am I wasting my time answering questions?

    I am a honorable highly educated and experienced man(60 years old--seen a lot, done a lot, made lots of mistakes), that answers questions in hope of helping people in need of an answer and some positive advise. I attempt not to judge or use harsh negative comments(seems to plenty of other people doing that). I attempt not to answer questions that people are seeking some form of acceptance for negative or destructive behavior or questions I have absolutely no knowledge or experience. I believe I am not wasting my time, even if I only help one person a day, able to make a positive impact on their life, or leave them with hope that tomorrow will be a better day. Sometimes, I wonder if anyone at all is listening.

  • I am constantly having to repair my Internet connection.?

    I am on DSL, and when I am connected to the internet, I keep getting an error message that this page can not be displayed. My only quick solution has been to click on my connection and click on repair. This works for a short period of time, then I have to repeat the process. How do I correct this problem? My spouse is on the same DSL connection and does not have this problem, so I know it must be something related to my computer.
