No, what America needs is parenting liscences.
Ok. I agree that some kind of testing should be used. But I still feel women would do better freeing up men in the rear than in frontline combat.
However, I still see no arguments for women in command positions. I still hold most women can't make objective decisions in a way required to command a military...

Whatt country allowed there navy to be sitting ducks in Pearl Harbor?
We sponsored Al-Queda in Afghanistan to fight communism. So what? Back then, they were our buddies. There was nothing wrong with what we did with the Shah, and we quit working with Iran when the Ayatollah took power. And that's also why we supported Saddam: to balance the Ayatollah. We did try to start a wor with Cuba and Russia, but what nation is truly pacifistic?
Also, don't drag Pearl Harbor into this. Pear Harbor was an honest mistake. Also, the entire navy was NOT there, the carriers were off wargaming. Check your facts next time.
I just want to weigh in on this topic really quick. If you do go off-roading, we know that large, green, flat, field might be really fun to go muddin' through, but consider the person who owns the field and makes a living off of the plants you're killing.....
Yay. Everybody missed the complete point of my post.
Whatever. People can believe what they want. That's cool if you've served alongside women in the military, but from what I have seen, women are not suited to the nastier jobs in the military. Some may be, but I have yet to really see that. However, I have seen many women that could take the job of a man sitting behind a desk somewhere....
I can be persuaded, but seriously, take some other opinions seriously besides your own.
Yes, Kids today are getting screwed by TV companies. Good shows are dead.

In fact, they can pretty much to most of what men can, but there is a slight line that is a little difficult to cross. Theres just to many years of evolution working against them (Sorry for the religios out there but you gotta admit, darwin's theorys make sense in alot of places... anyways, sorry, I don't want this to become a religios discussion) for them to be as physically built as men (There are definetly exceptions).
But I'm kinda feeling a strong sense of sexism rather than logic in your argument, but I may have very well misunderstood you. Do you believe women are generally less intelligent then men?
No I do not believe women are less intelligent than men, I just believe we think diffrently. Men are logical. Women are emotional. They are two diffrent kinds of thought processing. If I ever have to deal with a superior, I want them to be able to easily, clearly, and quickly make logical decisions. Face it, war is full of nasty decisions. Do we bomb the school to get the AA gun? Do we launch the attack in an area with endangered animals? Do we order 1000 troops to their deaths somewhere in a feint so that the real attack can be successful?
Men can cut emotional ties and logically consider situations better than many women. Women can be very creative, but the creativity is better used elsewhere. Supply corps? Yes. Medical staff? Yes. Logistics? Yes. PR? Yes. Special Forces Command? No. Tactical Missle Command? No. Field command? No. Joint Chief? No.
Now do you see where I'm going?
Parents and lifestyle. Force the kid to do something, even if it's some sport for quacky queers like ribbon dancing or something...

I already adressed this. The laws are no base for moral code, because man has no guide for what is outside the law. RTFT next time...
As for the insanely long post above, I'll do a rebuttal later...
Put the women in desk jobs, rear areas, and logistical jobs.
No woman should be in a command position or frontline combat. Sorry, feminazis, but women just usually logically stable enough for command, or physically and mentally ready for combat....
however, any useless state-side job a woman could do, let them have. Heck, let them do work in the rear of the front. Anything that frees up another infantryman is good...
Same thing happened to me with a girl of 3 years....
screw mod power. For one day? Perma-admin myself, then just let everything else go....
Science and religion are inseperable. Your entire view of science depends on where your world view is. With a Christian world view, you practice science to appreciate and understand God's world. With any other world view, why practice it?

I'm all for free speech, but I hold the view some censorship is necessary. However, the govornment need not be the ones behind it. The FCC does a decent job as-is. Let parents do the rest.

Rules in war? Since when? The world is one giant playground, so the bullies make the rules. Right now, the US is a bully.
They dont let iran go nuclear yet in the 1980-1990s they secretly let india become nuclear and they also try stop countries like china go nuclear. This way, they will stay superpower.
India was allowed to go nuclear to balance out the Muslim extremeism in that region, and to play fair with Pakistan.
They have broken literally every human right law there is- examples include guantamino bay and secret jail systems. They saty they will co operate yet they wont release inffo. They have tonnes of "secret files"that wont be released. They cover up stuff too. If anyone has read "Nineteen Eighty-Four" by George Orwell you will recognise similarities
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? A POW camp is an abuse of human rights? We captured people, and now they pay for their failure to win. They are NOT US Citizens, and are NOT entitled to the protections under the Constitution. As for secrets, everybody's got them. Big Whoop. And your 1984 refrence is misplaced. I see no similarities. Our economy is not socialist, we do not actively destroy history, we do not surperss every alternate opinion, we have not always been at war with Eastasia, and George Bush is not watching me. My viewscreen is off.
Talking of it isnt this missile knockout system dumb? Its like shooting a bullet out of the sky. A missile goes at around Mach 10. (To go space) This means the rocket or watever will have to go atleastMach 11. And wat if it misses- two missiles hit the US. One is US missile(!) Waste of space
Tell that to Israel. They're living proof the Patriot system works....

Whop-de-freaking-do.
Pot is illiegal and shouldn't be. Marinol is legal. The law is on Marinol's side, and never bet against the law.
Don't remove any refrence to God.
Stick to your guns.
It sickens me to see modern man acting this way. I do realise that government should not regulate religion, but in no way should the government be devoid of it.
Why? Because religion offers a basis of truth. With a belief in some kind of absolute truth instead of our modern positivistic and pluralist world views, we find a basis for law and ethics. Today, we use the law of the land as a standard of absolutes, but this leads to a complete moral vacuum in any area where the law is vauge or nonexistent. This is why the founding fathers used the 10 Commandments the way they did. In making the nation's laws based on the 10 Commandments, they allowed the laws of the nation to have a base in God, but to be secular at the same time.
In closing, the 10 Commandments should be displayed, because they offer more significant philisophical backbone to modern law than empty humanism alone.
I was thinking about this...
Bush declared the War on Terror not long after 9-11...
We just had another big disaster, so my question is...
When will Bush declare the War on Nature?
Will it be over before the War on Terror?
How do we plan to win it?

If you object why?
The refinery technology we have is the best there is.
Hurricane Katrina has doen a number to gulf oil production.
For the figures, check my post in the Katrina thread...
Have any of you guys watched that one show where they ambush random people on the street and ask them trivia? Many people don't even know how many states we have. Most high school graduates couldn't find Iraq on a world map...
Well, kids, you can blame the next increase on Katrina
gasoline wholesale up $.40
95% of gulf production lost
25% of foreign oil enters via NO
2/3 of agricultural imports, too
most exports leave NO
Is this Bush's fault too?
Gasoline prices jumped $.40 today.
95% of gulf production lost
2/3 of agricultrial imports come from NO
25% of foreign oil, too
most US exports also leave NO...
Were fucked for a good long time....
