    Military Enlisting More Convicts: Lowering Moral Standards?

    Just to clarify: My original post didn't really address "felons" in the military - it was directed more towards the opinion some hold that: "so what? It might actually be a good idea! Help shape those bastards out. Let the felons do the fighting!" cheers,

    Military Enlisting More Convicts: Lowering Moral Standards?

    If I'm going to war - I want volunteers around me. People that are there because they WANT to be there - from their hairy noses to their callused feet. None of these ersatz soldiers. No thanks! The Army is the Army. It is neither a correctional facility, nor a home for delinquents. To use it...

    Anna Nicole Smith Found Dead

    Hi Dave, I've dedicated most of my healthcare career towards fixing up ****. What you described elicits "empathy", but no compassion for the woman. I won't presume that "her baby will have a messed up life". I know the 'usual' end results of "presumptions"; especially with '********'. As far...

    Hi Dave, My 'day to day' job involves taking care of the sick, the wounded, the dying. I would just like to know what Elwood meant by "compassion" as it applies to his thread... cheers,

    Storm Hits Midwest With Snow, Ice, Wind

    Had a pretty fucked up night/day. Why do people insist on driving like lunatics just because they own 4x4/AWD? Do they think friction, visibility and physics somehow do not magically apply to them? Volunteer department wanted me to stay on tonight as well but I'm already working the hospital...

    Where to hide your money - a burglars guide

    By whom? The FDIC? The FDIC has only about a dollar invested in government bonds for every $100 in insured deposits. What good is the FDIC unless the FED is ready to pump money into the economy to stem a tide of bankruptcies? (Now think about that: If the FED is able to inflate, why should...

    Legzman: Good on you for trying it. I did it when my **** were very young and came away unscathed and my **** have grown up to be (largely) responsible, mature adults. It's a lot of responsibility. Tread carefuly, but tread surely. No greater job than raising a *****. No greater reward than...

    Busted! Caught cheating while husband is in Iraq...

    I just had an emotional, gut reaction to the circumstances of the story: Mudfoot catching hell while his sweetheart is busy banging someone else. Happens in every war I guess - saw enough of it in the past... Agreed. Like I said: "Adultery is disgraceful and disgusting!" cheers,

    Anna Nicole Smith Found Dead

    So why is it entirely the fault of media? Shouldn't those who "consume" demand "better" ? The choice is theirs after all. Patronize the ones you think are responsible and boycott the rest. If everyone with a social conscience did it, we wouldn't be having this discussion. As always -...

    A sick and twisted mind !

    Terrible! Terrible news! What a tragedy! :( What possessed that man to hit his own flesh and ***** so hard that it made her lose consciousness?

    The largest, most active sexual organ in the body is the brain ;) My ER nurses swear that the full moon brings out the crazies - y'know?

    Kwajalein Atoll - US Ballistic Missile Test Site

    Not exactly related to the nuke tests - but something just a bit earlier than them. The Marshall Islands were of immense strategic value during WWII - and this fact is highlighted by the great lengths each side went to to capture and retain them. However, before the US could recapture the...

    Waste in War: Where Did All the Iraq Reconstruction Money Go?

    You mean $12 billion of tax dollars that "didn't exist"! Those 12 billions came from borrowed money - OR the government simply printed them from the press... since our tax revenue increases certainly don't match the expenses. Either case - American tax payer loses. Borrowing money costs...

    Bush Administration Seeks $245B for Wars

    AFA : $245 Bn is a conservative estimate. Given monetary inflation, the real cost will easily rise as the years pass. By the way - $245 Bn doesn't include intrest rate and costs of borrowing. As such, the real figure as of right now itself is far higher than $245 Bn. You should listen to your...

    Scientists Say Earth Could Heat Up for Centuries to Come

    Again, you reduce free market libertarianism to a punch line - refusing to accept or acknowledge it's real meaning. You, for one; don't ever "think" as a 'free marker libertarian'.

    Really? You can "see" gravity? I know you can see an "apple fall to the ground" - that doesn't mean you "see" gravity --- you just see "an apple fall to the ground". You ascribe this to the 'Theory of Gravity' --- a very sound theory that I agree with. But you don't "see" gravity .... anymore...
