  1. Maybe if we let Turkey put 60k military personnel on our soil.......they'd let us put 60k of ours on their land.  Seems fair.   :facepalm: 

     

    GO RV, and NO BV

    Perhaps the US should support those who will not submit to fear of hostage taking. As sad as it may seem, when you negotiate with someone that you won't right a wrong because you fear harm may come to others. What about those future killings? Perhaps the plan should be.......keep ISIS confined to the Turkish border they now occupy......and kick their ass every where else!!! Wonder who turkey will call when ISIS is solely their problem. Just saying!

  2. Hey Miss Maggie.  I want to ask, "How are things?" but I can see they are a little tense and for good reason.  Since you and I go back a ways I hope I can say this without offending as none is intended.  Just from reading this thread it seems that you may have hit Detroit a little hard from the git go.  Remember, things can be taken out of context very fast when you can't see or hear the other person.  If I butted in where I don't belong just let me know and I won't do it again.  I would have said this behind closed doors but I don't know how to close them here.  Enough said from me.  I know you well enough to believe you understand my point even if you disagree.  Oh, one more thing,  he's from Detroit or lives there or whatever his connection is, it's not much better than Iraq.  haha

    Hope all is well with you.

    DW FYI my zip code is not Detroit it's where I'm from and not trying to be castigating but the last property tax bill I receivd in 21666 where I do live is probably more than you make all year....just saying

  3. In bright orange print you indicate "we do not need status of forces agreement". As a former JAG officer and former judicial support officer at SHAPE headquarters in Belgium I assure you I have no problem comprehending much more complicated dialog then what you wrote. That being said without a SOFA our troops would be subject to prosecution under the laws of the host country or worse. Iraq specifically still allows corporal punishment

  4.  So what you are saying is that  "WE THE PEOPLE" will have to foot their bills.   I agree with you to a point, but not 11 million of them.  Those who have fought for our country should be honored with a citizenship. IMO but let's be real about this. Can this country actually afford to have these illegals on welfare for the most part? Hell, there are enough of those already here legally.  And another thing that gets me is why the  US is not helping the veterans out there who have earned the right to be looked after like they should be? 

    I get you on that......in fact I've said often to myself, if you come to America before you get the right to protest you have to serve in some capacity......just saying

  5. I woke early this week and the TV was on. There was a story about the gentleman that invented beanie babies!! In an effort to avoid 5 million in taxes he moved some money off shore. When caught.... Tried.....and convicted he ended up owing our uncle 54 million in back taxes interest and penalties. My personal advice.... Don't play games....pay your taxes whatever they are and be thankful you had the money to pay!

  6. It's a sport for heaven sake.  Eighty years no one has had a problem with it, eighty years.  And now that Obama opened his mouth, it becomes as politically incorrect issue.  He said he doesn't have a direct stake in this debate, but we all know the damage he can do when he doesn't have a direct stake.  This administration is pushing the American people in all area's of life.  He's doing it on purpose.

    I'm understand your passion... However, contrary to your statement, many native Americans have made complaints about the phrase "red skin". It's a derogatory utterance and as such they would like to see something else especially because Washington is the nations capital! Just saying

  7. There are folks I know who have always said in a self defense gun killing its always better if only one lives to testify! We will never know what happened really. Could be that mr. martin was defending himself or maybe not. What I do know! The substitution of a life for property is never a even exchange. When mr. Zimmerman exited his vehicle he could have in the eyes of mr. Martin been seen as nthe aggressor. I personally believe rather than taking a racial position we should ask ourselves why does it have to be a racial divide? A young man is dead ......another young man has his life ruined forever! It's really sad that the news media for it own purpose twist information for their own bottom line and we the people buy info it!

  8. Rather than posturing does any one give a dayumn that a young man who was minding his business going to a home that he was loving in is now dead!!!! What ever the testimony he is still dead. What actions did he commit that warrant the death penalty?? Some in this forum are so politically biased they cannot even see that someone lost their life for no apparent reason!. Smh
