What are you going to do if the president salutes the military?
Bring charges against him?

Grab hold of reality.

This is such a non-issue.
He salutes, he doesn't salute.
Either way, this particular president is going to catch hell from someone.

Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, and John Kennedy were all officers in the military in WWI and WWII , but once they took off the uniform they never returned military salutes as president.

Doing it is only pandering, for political purposes.
I want him to stop it !

Why are men attracted to damaged women?

I was reading a book by Steve Harvey Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man where he said on pages 26-28 something to the effect that men have created a certain mindset among women that if she expects him to pay for her drink, then she is automatically a golddigger, that women should expect a real man to do that, that because there are so many men out there who walked out on their families leaving women supporting their kids alone now women take pride in paying for things men should be "man enough" to pay for.

This was the first time I read/hear such thing ever, anf from a guy!

He adds that although that he is aware of women who pursue/marry men for nothing more than the "hard cold cash", the term gold digger was invented by men to cop out on their financial responsibilty of supporting the woman they love.

If you read my post I said retirement pay and the GI bill, I did not mention disability pensions that have been paid out since the continental congress authorized them in 1776 to promote enlistment.

As for your claim of no GI bill I say bull$hit there has always been a GI bill since 1944 , it was revamped in the fifties and sixties and if I'm not mistaken by your age you fall under the Montgomery 1984, According to what I've found and I knew alot of this already as I said I've been surounded with the military all my life.

[Sorry my experience with the military all my life has informed me on the indoctrination of the enlisted ranks.

Or , is it the fact that your with one person , thats just fresh and you dont call it a relationship?

Personally, I find that facial hair tends to "obscure" or hide a man's true and natural good looks.

Justice Thomas (along with Justice Scalia), in his dissent in Hamdan v. Rumsfelt wrote that:

"[T]he experience of our wars," Winthrop 839, is rife with evidence that establishes beyond any doubt that conspiracy to violate the laws of war is itself an offense cognizable before a law-of-war military commission. . . . . In [World War II], the orders establishing the jurisdiction of military commissions in various theaters of operation provided that conspiracy to violate the laws of war was a cognizable offense. See Letter, General Headquarters, United States Army Forces, Pacific (Sept. 24, 1945), Record in Yamashita v. Styer, O. T. 1945, No. 672, pp. 14, 16 (Exh. F) (Order respecting the "Regulations Governing the Trial of War Criminals" provided that "participation in a common plan or conspiracy to accomplish" various offenses against the law of war was cognizable before military commissions)."

The Nuremburg trials set the precedent that it was not only those who directly apply the criminal violence and other forms of brutality, but also government officials who authorized it and military officials who oversaw it. Could you argue, under this framework, that Yoo was involved in a conspiracy to violate the law?

Ok i have a weird problem using Ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop that seems to have started last month and seem to be getting worser.

Well last month my laptop decided to start playing silly buggers with me it would dim the display at random times even sometimes when i opened a program such as vlc, virtualbox, xbmc and i had to open power management every time so it would get the display back to 100% .

after about 2 days the programs started acting up on me like xbmc would crash or open office would freeze and i rebooted my laptop more than enough times to get a program working so i though it might be a corrupt system so did a re install everything went fine for about 1 and a half weeks then it went again first the dimming then the programs. then it corrupted the system well i think so.

I did a complete Hard disk swipe 3 times in the month due to it just failing on me and i haven't the slightest why it keeps doing it it's puzzling me. is my hard disk on it's way out or is it another problem im really confused and it's getting to the point now it's a joke.

What you are planning on doing is illegal. World of Warcraft can sue you for selling anything attached to the game.

Read the WoW terms of service.

And for the record, an on-line contract can be difficult to inforce, but it is legally binding.

There is at least one major difference between debit cards and checks. Debit cards deduct the amount immediately, checks do not post until AT LEAST the next day and often more than one day later.

(whether people deliberately write bad checks is not the issue)

Now, i am not planning on getting my boy to call my boyfriend dad. Me and my boyfriend are just starting off, and i have planned not to let my little boy get to attached by having him around my boyfriend too much. Very little time does he spend with him when he is around. But, i don't see the harm in it if me and him last for 2-3 years and plan on getting married and are in the engaged phase.

Does anyone else not see this as a problem?

Listening to radio this morning and the host open the lines to the public to an opinion on taxing junk food ex....candy bars, pop, chips food that we all know is no good for us. I will ask the POF forums the same question do you think it is a good idea to tax junk food to help with the high cost of Health Care....

I personally think it is a great idea!

Never tried it before, and really am not sure if im that interested in trying it, but do think it, just at its basic nature, would be likely to be more effective than your traditional online dating website. For my own reasons. So do you think that this is something you would consider doing if you havent already.

If you meet someone on here, talk, date and become intimate. If the other person tells you they are only interested in you. Not interested in anyone else. And like you a lot and want to see where the relationship goes, is it within reason that I should be upset if she continues to keep her profile active?

And why do people sue? For sure, some do it to make money. But people are harmed and, in the absence of guaranteed care, they have to sue to make sure they will get covered. If some sort of system were in place that guaranteed they would get taken care of, they wouldn't have to sue.

Even when you have insurance, it doesn't cover everything. A man I know was blown up by a bomber - a case of mistaken identity by a really bad person who was caught almost a year later for other bad things. He was seriously burned, was in the hospital for a month, had several skin grafts. Even after he was sent home there was months of recovery. He had *very* good insurance and still there were many things they didn't cover. They didn't cover "wound care." His burns were such that, even after he went home, his bandages had to be changed three times a day and it took over an hour to do it. They had to be carefully peeled from his burns and skin grafts, some sort of ointment applied, and then carefully wrapped again. This went on for several weeks, every day, three times a day. Insurance did not cover it.

People seem to think these things cannot happen to them but they do.

What do *you* suggest to someone who has been injured?

I think it's highly inappropriate to be on a dating site while in a committed relationship.
I know you come on the forums, but you don't need a profile at all to do that.

Now that her sister will here, and that she will most likely be using my girlfriend's money I just don't see the romantic days happening for a while as she'll probably be 'forced' to look after her sister.

i met a person on a dating site. we have talked about getting married. this person is in debt with a house she bought a couple of years ago and has a lot of other debt. maybe 20 - 30 thousand dollars worth. would you consider marrying this person?

Although there it is against the forum rules to post polarizing threads, I just want to know what insecurities men in positions of authority at work have in their relationships or starting one? Example: military. Of course, this would extend to just about anybody. I also want to know if they can separate themselves from that mindset of work and switch to relationship mode. Some people bring that attitude of work home with them and sometimes forget to switch that off.

My brother is a born again Christian, and I dance in a Burlesque show. He prays for me, and says that the men who watch my shows aren't "honering me" with their thoughts. What's dishonerable about finding someone attractive, and thinking about sex with them?

am i unapproachable when it comes to single guys and only attached people have the confidence to hit on me? or is there something else that i am not aware of ?

have a friend of mine who has worked at a legitimate spa as a masseuse for many years. It's well known in that industry that the percentage of single people who get massages is much higher than people who have relationships. There seems to be a direct correlation that people will pay for a massage just to experience being touched. I find this a sad commentary on our culture.

When we crave touching so deeply, does that need cause us to make poor choices in dating, accepting dates with people who aren't a good match, we move too quickly to physical intimacy, and we make decisions that we regret later? What has your experience been?

We've all heard about the dangers of meeting someone on a first date in a non-public place...which caused me some alarm when I read the following advice given by POF in someone's "chemistry view", under the category of openness:

.... On first dates, perhaps you might suggest to your partner that the two of you spend a quiet night having dinner at one of your respective homes instead of going out to a restaurant or club.

Who writes these up? Does this advice bother anyone else?

I see these as huge benefits to users and would love to see it implemented sooner than later.

I battled for equality in sexual relationships with men, but they always felt like they had all the power - and because they could make me feel cheap and worthless, they did. But then I hated myself for allowing them to do this to me...

Why would you want to see naked strippers dancing and giving you lap dances if you're sure that you have already found the woman/man you want to do these things with?

Its funny how people give all the time and consideration to material things and instant gratification but never once think that if you love, respect and are faithful to someone, thats all it takes to make a marriage work.

Computer freezing on the Windoze splash screen is odd...

The fact that it hangs during the Windows splash screen tells me that it is a driver issue, really.

've been perplexed by how many people don't see the difference between manipulation and acceptable behaviour. The latest form of manipulation I've seen is people who appear like nice guys who use what women crave most to get what they want. Being emotionally demonstrative.

Has anyone ever been caught in such a situation and then later learned that their new found interest couldn't maintain this level of intimacy exponentially and or that their behaviours switched when the feelings were not reciprocated? Or even worse they accuse you of being exactly what you are trying to avoid in the opposite sex? ie.. emotionally unavailable, cold, emotionless, etc... etc...

And do you think they are being manipulative or genuine?

But I have guys my age talking to me, asking me to hang out, are they just ignoring the whole daughter thing, I means thats a pretyt big elephant to not notice.

What female language would I use to get my "interest" across to this guy?

From my lofty moral perch...
