Didn't the Obama administration predict the unemployment rate to be at 5.7% in May? How can liberals 7.8% as a win?

13 AnswersPolitics10 years agoUnsupervised Probation?
Ok, so I finished all of my requirements for unsupervised probation today (community service, alcohol assessment classes, and fines). I talked to my PO and he that i'm all done, and to maintain good and lawful behavior til december. Any PO's know if it's likely that they may still call me back for a random drug screening? I'm not doing any drugs or anything like that, but I'm still skeptical on drinking a beer.
5 AnswersLaw Enforcement & Police1 decade agoIf you could live in any time period, which period would you choose?
And by living I mean being in your teens/twenty's. I'd choose the 1920's the days of speakeasies and gangsters such as John Dillinger.
3 AnswersSociology1 decade agoWhat do you think of this abortion proposal?
Ok, we all make mistakes, so a girl gets pregnant at the age of 18 and doesn't want her college years spoiled. So she decides to get an abortion, alright understandable. You're young, stupid, and don't care about what grows inside of you.
What should happen in scenarios like this one, is that the young woman can get the abortion, but also has to have the female version of a vasectomy. Making the woman unable to have children for the remainder of her life, since she robbed the child of its life.
It'll make women think twice before they say "oh I can just get an abortion" and it'll also deter women from being so wreck less with who they have sex with and how often.
It may seem harsh, but it's fair. And I only believe that it should happen in this fashion if it's just from pure irresponsibility. Stuff such as rape would void the penalty.
P.S.
I know some of you will say "oh well then everyone will just say they got raped" well if that were to occur then whomever they accused of rape has to be convicted.
22 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWhy is the color of Liberals blue?
Liberal ideas are far more Socialist then conservatives, and many countries who are Socialist sport the color red. Is it just because the Liberals don't want to associate themselves with the obvious?
Example:
Nazism (and don't say that whole they were facist, they started out socialist so don't even argue)
USSR
China
Socialist Republic of Vietnam
4 AnswersOther - Politics & Government1 decade agoHow long do you think it will be before every military member will be required to have a microchip inserted?
I have a theory that in about 10-15 years every soldier is going to be required to have a microchip inserted into their body. It will first be played off as innocent, like the chip is there to just check your vital signs. Even though there is always a dark side to these things, any thoughts?

10 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoUnsupervised Probation?
I'm on unsupervised probation and i've got the whole do not drink/do drugs or go into taverns etc...But recently i let my friend use my debit card to go get some beer for himself at a local pub. I'm just curious how often do PO's ask people for banking statement? Because the pub will show up, however i have my friend who can vouch that it was him who used it. I'm just wondering because I have an compliance appointment in june, so i have to meet with a po officer who checks to see if I did the whole alcohol classes and community service...

I've heard of a few people who have joined the military while they had braces, but this online recruiter said no. I'm just curious if anyone has successfully joined with braces already on.
