someday you may be able to...about ten years ago, during the heat of the referendum regarding Quebec's attempt at independence, there was talk among many Quebecois that if they did secede, sooner or later there would be a 51st state after their economy took a dump. Move over, England...

laura schlessinger is a radio personality who dispenses advice to people who call in to her radio show.
recently, she said that, as an observant orthodox jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to leviticus 18:22 and cannot be condoned under any circumstance.

Restrangled-That's one thing that lured me to enlist, a strong family history. Civil war, WWI and II, Desert storm. Though knowing what I know now, I'd try to lure my sons AWAY from doing the same. By the way, I have great respect for you jarheads. But I wouldn't give a bean to be a fancy-pants marine... Rock of the Marne!!!

So........
by RichieRich inso i work at a bar.
i'm a bouncer.. a floor guy to be specific.
(in any bar, there's people assigned to the door, and people assigned to the floor- newbies get to stand in the rain and look at ids while floor guys maintain order inside the joint).. anyhow, i had kicked some guy out of the bar last week.

assuming your outside of Ft. Bragg, you should be getting more of those idiots shortly before they deploy. Assholes out to have a good time before they go to the 'sandbox'. Good luck.

Evidently there are people who believe that the boundaries that have been drawn by our forefathers are not worth fighting for. From the beginning of time, nations, peoples, etc., fight for land, borders, idealogies, and in some cases, women. This will not change, nor should it. There is no Val Halla, Nirvana, 'new system', or Utopia. If anyone wants to believe in paradise, then go and be a JW. But liberal minded people should stop dreaming of such. That's just my opinion though. I ain't no flag waving conservative, but I will shed a tear for those who are willing to place their lives in harm's way for my way of life. And in the meantime, soldiers will fight and die for a person's right to criticize why and what soldiers are doing.

Left in '98, '99 or thereabouts. Was in CT. Never sent a letter, and to the best of my knowledge no announcement was made. Since then, just going where the wind takes me, for better or for worse.

When I was in the borg, I had no idea of the stories my grandparents (both WWII vets) were telling me. Now that I've done my tour, and can relate to some the stories that these 'weirdo war vets' have told me, I'm starting to get it. Here's some thoughts... Most of what's done in the military is done to impress your superiors. If the response to what you've done is 'wow, that's hard core', or 'that's high speed', you can go home happy. Bear in mind, I am well aware of the emotional attachment that soldiers get to their comrades when they're in the shit. It's been well over a year now, but it kills me when I worry about my brothers in arms when they had to go back for a second tour. I got lucky and got arthritis. Why do WWII vets keep quiet about what they saw? They are truly the 'greatest generation'. I talked to a war vet not to long ago and he said that he has seen recently the same decency from the Iraqi war vets coming home. Something that resembles the WWII vets. Why? I love my grandpa (Pacific theatre). I just wish my other gramps was around to tell me other war stories (Battle of the Bulge). I was too young to understand. Makes me realize that what I've seen and done is so insignificant. All you vets, send me your war stories. I thrive on that shit. Depressed and rambling, Andrew

N/A-no new system, therefore, no competitive sports.
