Lied at meps?

When I went up to meps a few weeks ago I lied about my criminal history, saying I never got arrested. The arrest itself wasn't over anything serious but it is the fact that I actually got fingerprinted and arrested that worries me. Everyone I asked told me not to say anything about it so I didn't.



The job I want requires a top secret clearance. I hear that people who do have records sealed and doesn't show up in a local search, it still comes up on the FBI report and they don't get their clearance and in turn not get their job. Should I come clean with this? If so, how do I do so now that I am in DEP? My recruiter said that if I said anything about it, I wouldn't get the job I want, but the offense wasn't anything serious (I was just in an elementary school at the wrong time and got charged for breaking %26amp; entering and theft as I took some candy and hall passes). I am more worried about the marine corps thinking I'm a liar and refusing my clearance based on that.Lied at meps?
You need to correct this immediately.



If you need a TS clearance, they will find out about it. It doesn't matter what it was about, the fact that you lied about it will disqualify you from a TS Clearance. You need to be Trustworthy to work with our nation's secrets.



When you talk with the investigator who will do your initial interview for your background invetigation, tell them about it. Tell them everything, including why you lied about it in the first place. They do understand that people will tell you not to say anything about it, or that you were told to lied about it by people who would normally give you sound advice. In this case, they were wrong and you know that.



Your recruiter was an idiot for telling you that.



if you have any other questions about this, send me a message.Lied at meps?
you probably won't get top secret clearance.
You need to contact MEPS and tell them.



If they start your security investigation and find out, you will separated for a fraudulent enlistment.



And yes they can send you to prison for that.



If your recruiter won't handle this, you need to contact MEPS and tell them yourself.



While telling them, might prevent you from recieving a security clearance. There are plenty of jobs in the military that do not need security clearances.



By not telling them, you are basicly setting yourself up to be kicked out of the military, given a bad discharge.
YES COME CLEAN! During bootcamp I had a friend who was almost discharged because he had gotten arrested while he was in DEP. He was told not to worry about it since it was minor, so he didn't say anything about it. Then about midway through bootcamp, when we were just starting to get our military CAC ID cards, he never got his and had to go talk to legal or something. They told him he could be sent to the brig and/or dishonorably discharged.
if your recruiter knows, and told you not to say anything, then he is dead wrong. if you looking for a TS clearance, they are going to find it. your best bet is just to say ';o i forgot all about this one time....'; if you come clean, and no charges were made, then you might be alright. if they find it on there own, it will raise other questions.
if your arrest was nothing serious then why didnt you open your mouth. You gambled and you lost now suffer the consequences. Just answer the questions that are asked of you..in the first 2 days of boot camp this is gonna come up, they will ask if there is anything you left out and you better be clean...why start your military career with a lie? good luck and Semper Fi!
You can try and come clean now. The arrest will show up in your background check. If you lie, they can get you for fraudulent enlistment, kick you out and you can never jointhe military again. Go to your recruiter, tell him straight up and see what he can do for you to keep you in. Depending on what you were arrest for, it may not make any difference in getting your clearance. They are more interested in your ability to tell the truth! It will be better for you if you tell them vs. they find out about it on your background check.
If the charges were dropped or you were found Not Guilty do not even worry about it. If you were found guilty or had any type of conditions with your charge they are going to find out.
either way, you're pretty much f*cked because now that you lied about it even if you come clean you aren't going to get a TS clearance. whoever told you that it won't turn up during the clearance background investigation is dead wrong. your best bet is to tell your recruiter so he can try to change your MOS choice that won't require a TS clearance. if you go thru with the clearance they will turn up your lie and worst case scenario they can discharge you for fraudulent enlistment. meps is the wrong place to lie about stupid sh*t, my friend.
don't worry about it, keep your mouth shut, you should be fine

Who can help with an out of control officer in Detroit who is Assaulting, raping, stealing from people?

Let me start in saying that I have the utmost respect for law enforcement officers, they have a tough job, and I personally have had a few run ins with the law, in my history I have never resisted an officer, or even disrespected them, as only a fool would do that. My grandfather developed the first ';911'; type system in NY, my other grandfather was an FBI agent, I have a cousin who is on the Miami police force, I respect the job they do protecting us. I ran into a bad apple that needs some attention before he accidentally kills someone, if he has not already.



I recently had an experience where I was suffocated by a Detroit City Police officer named ';Stone';. I have been researching this ';Stone'; character for 4 months and have heard everything from rape accusations, stealing money, doing ';busts'; that don’t get reported to the precinct (money and drugs disappearing), intimidation, blackmail, assault, and a few speculators who say that some have ceased to exist after crossing him.



Everyone I meet who has had direct contact is afraid of him has they are stuck here and cannot get away, he is in a sense acting as though he is living in the movie training day, as the lead character, not the good guy mind you.



My personal experience begins with being suffocated to the point of almost blackout, with my fiancée as a witness and 3 other women who are so afraid for their lives that they do whatever he wants.



As I have a properly licensed business I find myself having to go to meetings in Detroit regarding the sale of Crude Oil contracts among other internet type set ups, the officer ';Stone'; has informed me that if he sees me in his part of town I will get much worse than being strangled. My question is how much worse can it get?



I heard of a white boy (the officer appears to be of light complexion) that the officer beat until he could not see through his eyes. A woman was raped and she has been pressing charges but the precinct is not responding.



I have filed a complaint at his precinct and asked to press full assault charges, I also am getting limited response from the normal means.



If I were to go strangle someone, I would be arrested. If an officer of the law does it is he not subject to the same laws? Being completely compliant with my hands behind my head on the floor, being picked up by my neck (of which I have re-aggravated previous injuries) and being suffocated by crushing my windpipe between his two hands and asked to answer questions when I could not even breath, and when I could not respond loud enough being thrown by my neck across the room to a couch. Had I been less muscular he very well could have broken my neck.



He also threatened to shoot my fiancée, who is 18, under 5 foot tall and under 100 lbs. She is so shook up she wants us to leave Detroit and never come back, she is so shook up.





I want to stand up for those people that are stuck there, that cannot afford to press charges or stand up to him, because it is the right thing to do.



I of course am not perfect, and often find myself in the grey area of things. However, my choice of company should not jeopardize my life, especially not from an officer of the law. Someone needs to stand up to this joker, and it might as well be me. What is the worst he can do, kill me?



Actually, I have been told that is exactly what he will do. So my question is who do I report this to? I am not from the Detroit area, I have lived all over the USA, and never seen anything quite like this before.



Is there a news on your side thing, or some civil rights organization around here, perhaps there is some media outlet that would take on the story, or should I go to the FBI as he has stated that he just “hates white people.” He profiled me without asking any questions and for whatever reason decided he wanted to kill me.. Thank the lord he did not complete his attempt. I would almost say that the strangulation is attempted murder. I understand he has a tough job, but as far as I know, we have a justice system that has rules and guidelines, I think he thinks he is judge, jury and executioner.



Now the other thing is that seeing how he operates, I would think the prosecutors should re-look every single case he has filed and every testimony he has given. The days of “beating” a confession out of someone died when civil rights activists put an end to it. I am sure that if someone talked to the last 20 people he arrested, over half would have a story of assault, either sexual or physical.



Frankly, I think his method of trying to obtain information is a form of terrorism, to heck with water boarding, he goes right for the throat. I have a right not to be treated like that, so do you. It could have happened to you if you had considered doing some handyman type work that day in the wrong house.



What is the next step? How do I get the ball rolling on something like this and how do I protect myself in the process?Who can help with an out of control officer in Detroit who is Assaulting, raping, stealing from people?
Your next step is a trip the FBI office. Take all information to the FBI and make formal report involving Officer Stone and his precinct Officers as well.Who can help with an out of control officer in Detroit who is Assaulting, raping, stealing from people?
First thing i think you should do is go to the State Police. They are supposed to act on situations involving city or county officers.

If he is state, then you go to the F.B.I.

Or you can go to them immediately if any business you are involved in is interstate because by threatening you he is impeding interstate commerce.

This is what we do in Kentucky and I don't think Michigan is that much different.

You don't say where in Detroit you go. If it is in the Cass Corridor then I would got to the Feds immediately.
Way to long.From what I hear about Detroit it a lawless place anyway so whats the problem.Stay out of his way and if you don't do anything wrong then no worries.But personally I think you may be watching to much TV.
Well, as you know how long it took to get someone to put ';magilla'; in his cage, after all they trials and tribulations, it is no wonder that you are having a hard time. Detroit is a corrupt place, why it is not wiped off the face of the map like soddom and gommora who knows. The devil needs his places to feed off of and he sure has his claws deep here. Anyway, yes go to the FBI and hopefully they give you better help/assistance than they gave us. You could also check with 1800-callsam or www.fiegerlaw.com about damages. That would spark attention. Fieger has experience with the detroit area as his neck was in the sling with them a couple of months ago. He's still free I see.

My girlfriend said said a copy of your complaint to the police chief (keep record) as well as the state attorney general for michigan, as well as Fox 2 and channel 7 news. How about the Govenor. Keep a low profile. Very low under the radar. You have a life at the moment.

Got Muscular Dystrophy & I wanna live by myself [California] so I can do what 21yr olds do... party?

no,the truth: I want to take some burden off my parents shoulders to let them be at ease about my future. I would need assistance daily, costly right? I also get very exhausted when I have to go to school or work on a daily basis. I don't know if i am being lazy or if i am really tired. I asked my doctors about the lazy thing but they don't understand what that feels like. Please don't tell me to have faith and believe in Jesus cuz Im sick of hearing that from my christian freak aunty. She did a lot of crap in her life, she found god, $100s/month bye bye, she wants to convert people. I respect christian belief, just not the way my aunty is. I want to grow old w/open mind%26amp;repect other religion. Sorry, anyways, help w/independent living? Someone thats been through it? Problems you faced %26amp; how you delt w/it? government weirdos to watch out for? Job options (I want to work with animals but im not studious type, or join FBI, CIA)? How does traveling (to Japan) work if I need assistance?Got Muscular Dystrophy %26amp; I wanna live by myself [California] so I can do what 21yr olds do... party?
I am assuming you are in the USA?

I don't know the answer to your question regarding living independently and getting the daily support. You need to look into your local governement as to what is available in terms of support resources, funding, somebody to assist with case co-ordination etc.



Are you using a powerchair now or not yet? I assume you are - since I know of NO ONE who is 21 with MD and NOT using a wheelchair.



You mentioned ';I want to work with animals but im not studious type, or join FBI, CIA)? How does traveling (to Japan) work if I need assistance?'; How do you think about such job option for a person is a wheelchair who will needs constant help? Do you think FBI and CIA are going to hire you? I hope you are only joking. Because the reality is... they won't.

Working with animals? Possibly, but are you strong enough now to pick them up or even hold them?

From all my experience, the lucky guys who got themselves some sort of employment (all part time), they work in an office. Using keyboard and computer are usually better for someone with your condition.



I don't think Y!A will have any answer for you. I suggest you talk with someone in the local community services and employment agencies regarding your future plan of living on your own and finding a job. But even if there are nojobs, think outside the square - there may be something worthwhile you can also engage your time.



Hope this gives you some positive thought and encouragement.

  • From a programmer to a cop?

    Well, I am actually just getting out of college with an Associates in IT but from all the doom and gloom I've been reading online about outsourcing and people hating this job I am thinking about doing something else. I really wanted to get into the FBI eventually and having experience in IT is one of their skill courses you can take.



    I am only 21 years old and haven't really started a career yet so now I'm thinking it might be best to go into something else rather in programming.



    So I guess my question is do you all think I should just be a cop or something instead rather then program? I like programming but I'm not crazy over it especially now that I am hearing all of these horror stories about how it sucks and programmers are fading out. As a long term career choice what should I do?From a programmer to a cop?
    100% agree with ';nitaoe';...

    When choosing a carrier (that is something you intend to do for considerable length of time) choose something that YOU like and that YOU will like doing for the next 10-20-30 years...

    I have been in computer programming for the last 20 years and I do NOT see any horrors with outsourcing...

    If you are GOOD at what you do you will always be able to find a suitable job, just do NOT choose a future job on the basis of pay/reward, but on the basis of your own interests and abilities...From a programmer to a cop?
    Are these stories from reliable sources?



    Anyone that is complaining loudly about outsourcing has no idea what they are talking about. Yes, jobs are being outsourced. Did you want to take the telemarketing job? I didn't think so.



    If want to be a programmer, be a programmer. I'm a programmer and I have no qualms about job security. There are many jobs available that need computer people and can not outsource jobs to other countries.



    If other hate their job, that is their issue. You can still get into the FBI, you know? You see all the TV shows that have tech people. Yes I know they are TV shows, and a lot of what they show is made up, but they do need programmers to make the programs they use, to run the databases of information they access, etc.



    If you want to be a cop, be a cop. Just don't change your mind on what you want to do, just because others (who may or may not be authorities on their field) tell you so.

    to be honest with you, go to the fbi and apply
    from your avatar it looks like the only services you'll be selling will be to dirty old men in dive bars
    talk to the FBI, provided youre not being a jackass and bullshitting yahoo questions, lol.

    anyway, how do you have access to taliban coded messages?
    if you have proof and an education that can support you get onto sites like clearancejobs.com and even though you got to have a government issued clearance for most of these positions they will still take you to other similar sites that may help
    Just how long have you had these fantasies? If you keep acting like this, I'm sure the CIA, FBI, and a whole lot of others have already found you.

    I really think if you had first hand knowledge of any of this than you would have been obligated to tell the authorities regardless of the fact that you are holding this info for some type of monetary gain. You could be held liable under the patriot act which would allow you no rights at all. This means no access to a lawyer and the possibility of having your citizenship revoked even if you were born in the US because you could be classified as an unlawful combatant. But I doubt your story because I don't think you would be here on yahoo answers if you had such knowledge.

    Where do i start with looking at colleges and careers??

    i am about to be a senior in highschool. i dont really know what i wanna do. im interested in these...cop/FBI agent, or maybe a nurse. but i know there are so many more jobs that im not seeing. but what i really need help with is college. im pretty smart and i play sports so i may be able to get scholarships...but how? and i need financial aid...but how? and should i start looking at colleges now and leave next year ( i wanna go outta state) or should i stay a year and go to a community college?or should i go into the service for a while? i have no idea what to do. if somebody could just give me advice on what is a good choice. or which job is better. anything!! thanksWhere do i start with looking at colleges and careers??
    If college is your main concern right now you need to start taking the act/sat. Also for federal and college financial aid to be determined you must have filled out the fafsa (free application for federal student aid). This application is the one that is generally used to apply for federal grants and federal loans such as the stafford loan and pell grant. Also to help with making college choices check out www.collegeboard.com. This websit is great for checking out everything from financial aid to the descriptions of schools in various states. And finally, definately go to see your high school guidance counselor. She may also suggest other options that arent listed here. GoodLucK!!!!Where do i start with looking at colleges and careers??
    You seem to have many options on your mind. I cant help you select your path but I can help you by telling you what I have been doing. I am entering my last year of HS as well. The best site I have found for college references and statistics on universities is collegeboard.com (also the site for the SAT AP etc) It really gave me direction and ideas. Oh, and I do hope you have taken the SAT or ACT if not it is essential to take that ASAP.



    Once again this is strictly opinion, but I would go to college for either nurse or to be a cop. If these options truely move you that is. In this case you want to start looking at universities that offer these programs. Once you find them visit visit visit. Idealy this summer would have been the time but that is past.



    As for scholarships, local ones vary and I could not help you but be sure to check with a school when you visit. And I can tell you that the time to apply is coming upon us quickly. I know at Indiana University I will apply August 1st.



    Good luck with the year ahead of you.

    --------------------------------------?br>








    The final question remains:

    How do you regain freedoms

    once they are lost?

    ~Life before the A.C.L.U was it-worse before?
    Eliminate the ACLU! THEY SUCK!Life before the A.C.L.U was it-worse before?
    depends on the situation. they have made strides in fighting for the rights of the wrongly accused, and they keep those who are power-hungry in-check (hello, GOP).
    The ACLU has nothing to do with a school going into lockdown for a gun on campus.



    Nor with a school's policy to call police over a fight.



    Nor with the alarming tendency to drug children with behavioral problems.



    Nor with appropriate laws regarding child abuse.



    Nor with a school's drug policy.



    Nor with Homeland Security rules (other than probably defending the father against the charges).



    Nor with sexual predator laws (other than probably defending the teacher)



    If you can show me anything to the contrary, I'd be happy to see it.
    That was too Funny!

    We would be SO much better off without the ACLU and the idiots who support and fund them. As to your last question, educate the populous let them know what their rights are, make them aware of what is happening right in front of their eyes. If after a generation that doesn't work. break out the rifles and do it the old fashioned way..
    The ACLU is interested in defending all the freedoms guaranteed under the constitution - including those related to second amendment rights. So if you are worried about keeping your freedoms, send them some money!
    Excuse me, Larry, your little stories are cute but they show you have NO CLUE what the ACLU really does. NO CLUE. Johnny's dad was put on the terror watch list because of the ACLU?? Larry, trust me, I'm sure you're a cool guy but regarding the ACLU, you have NO CLUE. What other changes in American life would you like to blame on them--the price of gas has gone up a lot, and many of our manufacturing jobs have gone to China---don't you want to blame that on ACLU, Larry? (by the way, the ACLU was founded in 1920, not 1973). Larry, you should stick to posting about things you are capable of understanding, such as, um, well, ...

    Could someone give me some advice on my education and work prospects?

    I'm going to be graduating with my Associates degree in Criminal Justice in May 2010. My game plan is to finish out my bachelors degree in the same field, and eventually pursue law school.



    Although I initially want to become a prosecutor, I want to be a police officer first (they're both passions of mine). Anyway, I'm 23, have a clean record, I'm in decent enough physical shape (and I'm working out and running more and more by the day) and I don't do drugs. Basically I think I could be considered a reasonable candidate for a police academy.



    The reason school is taking me so long is because I switched my major a while back and I changed schools before. I have $35,000 in student loan debt due to out-of-state tuition being so high (that's also another reason I really wanted to go back to community college).



    My initial question is: I know it's possible to get into a local police academy with or without a degree, and I know it's possible to apply and get into state police or even the FBI with only an associates degree.



    Have any of you ever gotten a job as a cop and had their employer pay for you to pursue a higher education? I want to minimize my student loan debt at all possible points, and it would be an added perk to have my continuing education paid for, seeing as how my debt is so high already.Could someone give me some advice on my education and work prospects?
    To become a police officer, the standard requirement for most major police agencies seems to be a minimum of 60 undergraduate hours, although some allow substitution of military service, and a Bachelor's degree may be preferred (generally required for federal special agent positions). Some agencies have age limits, for federal jobs it is 21 minimum and 37 maximum. Any major is acceptable, but Criminal Justice, Computer Science, Sociology, or Psychology may stand you in better stead. Smaller agencies may have a high school requirement. The agency normally provides training, but some states may have private academies (like TX). There are more applicants than there are positions. Those meeting the minimum requirements may not compare well to the best qualified applicants. Many agencies have increased pay levels for higher education, and higher education facilitates promotion.



    A Bachelor's degree is required for federal special agent positions (very few exceptions). Any major is acceptable, but computer science, Criminal Justice, Sociology, or Psychology, may stand you in better stead. I recommend that individuals major in psych and minor in CJ (even though I majored in CJ, BS %26amp; PhD). I attended an agency-sponsored Masters program for an MS in management. GPA, work experience, ability to communicate orally and in writing, and graduate degrees are what determine who gets hired for federal positions. And, there are always more applicants than positions. Those meeting the minimum requirements may not compare well to the best qualified applicants.



    The FBI likes lawyers and accountants, but they hire from various backgrounds (http://www.fbijobs.gov/). Other federal agency job announcements should be available at https://my.usajobs.gov/login.aspx; acceptance of applications is cyclical. NCIS檚 website: http://www.ncis.navy.mil/.



    You must have no felony arrests, and many misdemeanor arrests are also disqualifying. And, a domestic violence conviction will be disqualifying. Any prior drug use of any sort may be disqualifying, although exceptions are possible in some agencies. There may be a written exam, medical exam, polygraph test, physical fitness test, drug test, minimum eyesight requirements, psychological evaluation, oral board examination, and full background check. As I said, there are always more applicants than there are positions, so it may take many application submissions to get an acceptable job (at least it did for me). Contact the agency directly or look for their website, which will list their employment qualifications and requirements.Could someone give me some advice on my education and work prospects?
    The government paid for 2/3 of my master's degree, and I did it on gvt time. Most fed agencies have tuition assistance programs; however, it is unlikely that any agency will pay for you to go to school full-time.

    How to deal with this?

    I can't stand my mom, she is very unsupportive.



    Any sport I've played, she doesn't support me playing, any job I've ever had she doesn't support me working, anything I've ever done I've had no support. Im not talking about her supporting me financially either.



    She either hates the sport Im playing, doesn't know I still like it, or thinks I have quit playing it.

    She rarely comes to my games or meets and when she does she complains about being there, wanting to leave right when its over.

    She hates having to take me to practice, complains it inconviences her.



    As for my job, she is always yelling at me to get a job, to help pay the cell phone bill, to help pay the internet bill but when I get a job, she complains about having to take me to it, she complains the job is too low for me, that I should have a better job or that it is a typical ';teen job'; and I need to find something more mature. Ive gotten let go from my last job because my mom, it was on good terms though(they know my situation) and im welcome to come back once I get a car. Ive worked at 2 pizza places and a clothing store.



    Any job I've ever wanted to grow up and do, shes called me a dreamer and has told me to grow up and be realistic, as if she has no faith I could do the jobs Ive wanted to do.

    Ex: Ive wanted to be a doctor, a FBI agent, Ive wanted to do something involving outerspace, something involving marine life, various things. Jobs requiring lots of intelligence.



    Its not like im here at 18 wanting to be a Princess of Bobalongashingduh Land.



    Ive finally found my calling in Radio Broadcasting, she wants to know why Im not doing anything to get experience, im still in HS, Ive looked, you have to be in college to intern.

    I want to also become an indoor skydving instructor, I need to train to take the PT test, she tells me it'll be awhile before I'll be able to be good enough to pass it, so why not start training now I say. She says im too young but should I wait to start getting experience? The course to become a Level 1 instructor only takes 30 days.



    Clothes styles, hair styles, ways I do my make-up, guys, friends, boyfriends, you name it, shes hated it.

    Tells me that the hair style/clothes style doesn't fit me, doesn't look good.



    But isn't being a teen all about trying things and finding yourself?



    She hates everything I wear, tells me I look like im 13, that I dress too immaturely, I wear the same clothes the rest of my peers wear.

    Ive dyed my hair a few times and she tells me it looks like straw and that I need to cut it, but yells at me for asking to get it cut and it isnt even that bad.

    She hates everysingle one of my friends, says they are all trash and none of them really like me anyways or they would hang out. Know what they are doing instead, holding down multiple jobs, focusing on school and getting into college.

    She tells me I look like a skank because of the way I do my make-up.

    Which, hell I'll even put up a pic if you want to judge if Im skanky looking or not.

    She wonders why I don't have a boyfriend and then hates any guy I've ever liked, questions me if Im a lesbian. Im not, im just afraid to let her meet any guy, I dont go on dates because she insist on meeting them first, uh not just no but hell no.



    She doesn't support me, she hates everything I do/wear/play. She hates everyone I know/date/am friends with. She basically tells me Ill never be good enough to do anything. Wants me to do things she deems ';realistic';, date guys that are up to her standards, she wants me to wear clothes she thinks are ';mature'; enough for my age.



    Whats really hard is I still really love my mom a lot and miss the times when she actually is nice. Lately she hates the world and all the people in it. She pretty much hates everything, too much that it'd be easier to list the stuff she actually does like.



    I just don't know what to do anymore.

    A few more details I may not have listed or you may not have caught.

    Im an 18yrold girl, im a senior in .



    My mom left the house because we were pissed at each other, agruing about the same stuff im posting on here and I guess she cooled off because she called me and wanted to know what kid of milkshake I wanted from sonic and when i hung up I started crying because she just sounded so nice and it made me miss the old her.



    Sorry for this to have been so long and me unloading my sob story onto you but its been really getting to me.

    0 seconds ago



    To sum it up, I guess, she criticizes me for well, being me.How to deal with this?
    Ok so you are very responsible, loving, and goal oriented, if only all teenagers could be like that. It sounds to me that its not you or the world your mom is hating or unhappy with, its herself, and there is not much you can do to help. I congratulate you on sticking it out many teens in such sircumstance have gone looking for a way out that was a bad end. Your mom needs lots of forgivness as she will continue to say and do things she will regret and be mad at herself for until she finds some way to be happy and proud of her own life. She dose love and is proud of you, she just isn't capable of showing it right now. Be of good cheer and be a rolemodel for her as you have been doing all along. Hope this is a small comfort to you as you are deserving of some. God bless you and keep you.How to deal with this?
    Next time try to make the question a bit smaller:]
    Have you ever thought of becoming a writer, cause this question could have been a novel? HUH!
    It really sucks to be a teenager. Hang in there it will get easier.
    I think you should print out what you wrote and give it to her to read.



    Sounds like her life isn't happy and she's taking it out on you. You sound like you have some good ideas about your life and what you want to do with it. Continual criticism really does beat you down and make you feel less than.



    I don't think it's you at all but you're getting the brunt of it. She apparently feels bad when she cools off...she needs to know how much she's hurting you.
    You should find someone who will have your back. you don't need your mom to do it for you.

    If that don't work use duck tape it fixs everything
    It sounds like your mom has some problems that have to do with mom, not you. Sit your mom down and tell her that you don't understand what's going on. You're 18, it's time to lay down a few boundaries. Tell her that you're no longer going to listen to negative comments. You're not going to argue and you're not going to listen, either. Then leave. Don't get upset, don't defend yourself, don't accuse her. Just state the facts. Next time she starts, walk away. If you can't, put your headphones and listen to music. Do not allow her to make any further negative comments at you. Also, if your father is in your life, talk to him about how you feel.
    omg sounds like my life! my mum never lets me out and my friends go out n stuff im 16 this year nd it sux. i dont have any advice for you as everything ive tried just makes it worse. but hey youll get through it nd u need to put the pic up, but b4 i see it no one looks skanky okay?!?!?? i bet your gawjuss, keep me posted okay xx goodluck
    my mom does the same thing, you will learn to ignore it, i think she is not satisfied with her own life or she wouldnt have so much time to judge yours. is she the best person with the best life? if not, who cares, or is she a self centered sucessor? she probably doesnt even know what she is doing, parents are like that.
    sounds like ur mom is a normal teenagers mom....i mean..hello..ur a teenager...moms do that..its part of (what they think is ) their duty..as a mother..u should talk to her and tell her that u dont appreciate her criticizing u for everything that u do and u would like it if for once in a while she would congratulate u or give u a compliment.
    Sounds like jealousy and maybe the fact that one day you will be gone and she doesn't really know how to handle it. Know now, that you are not able to depend on your mother's opinion on anything. Which means that you will have to mature rather quickly. You have a whole list of things that you want to be/do. Narrow your list down. It is time for you to focus a little on what YOU really want. Get your mother off of your mind and list what it is that you want to do and find out how to do them. Then cross them off of your list one by one. Your list will take you away from home and that situation. Which will probably get better after you leave. Your mother needs a wake up call. While she is hating the world, the world is still turning and life is still going on, and so will yours.

    Did anyone anticipate Obama's presidency falling apart this quickly?

    I remember watching the 2004 convention and seeing him up there on stage. I thought to myself, this is just another demagogue who will probably wind up duping a lot of people into voting for him. But I never thought the presidency would be in reach for that skinny boy from Hawaii.



    So when he won the presidential nomination for the democrats, I kind of knew that he would beat McCain and I kind of hoped that he would grow up. But what's so scary about Obama is, he reminds me of how I was back in college: cocky, arrogant, self-absorbed.



    And this arrogance with him isn't waning, and I think it's costing him his job. Bill Clinton had charisma; Obama has a chip on his shoulder. I understood the ********* during the campaign, when he was still just a Senator from Illinois, but I thought the presidency would settle him down. I thought he'd drop the rhetoric and speeches and get to work. But he rides around the country giving speeches with his Obama flair, yet he doesn't realize that Americans don't want a fancy talking president. Instead Americans just want someone who can lead.



    Did anyone expect Obama to fail so quickly? Did you know that he wouldn't drop all his fancy speeches and that he wouldn't govern?



    Question for independents or democrats: Does Obama ever talk about anything other than health care and jobs? Does he ever talk about the State department, Treasury, Veteran Affairs, FBI, CIA, judicial system...........? He's in charge of all of that, yet you wouldn't know it.Did anyone anticipate Obama's presidency falling apart this quickly?
    Wow! I am impressed by the vast majority of respondents who expressed so well everything I wanted to say. As I said in an earlier posting, I did not vote for Obama but I never expected his office to so openly disregard the will of the people and as you said ignore every major issue except Health Care and his tiresome rhetoric about jobs, especially so quickly. What stuns me is that other Democrats continue to support him and follow his socialist agenda. Surely they can't can't all be egomaniacs, narcissists and wannabe rock stars and/or kings................or can they? So glad you asked this question and loved the well thought out answers.Did anyone anticipate Obama's presidency falling apart this quickly?
    Well he is immature, irrelevant, inexperienced, and in way over his head.



    The state of the union address told us all this. He looked like he is still a community organizer and not a leader. If you are a leader, you don't bicker and call the the Supreme Court during a State of the Union.
    No they did not. Oh they expected him to fail. He is a democrat after all. But nobody expected it this soon or to this extent. I think he set a new record for going down in flames.
    You are premature.



    The liberal media is going to build him back up again. Ratings will rise because people just mimic what they see on TV.



    Tell guru that the KKK was southern democrats. He flunked history.
    I knew the second that a**clown was nominated that he was gonna fail miserably at being President. He didn't fool me for a f*ckin' second. And he STILL doesn't. He's a dam joke.
    I did! I can recognize a lying, empty suit when I see one! Only the insipid, vapid Liberal Obama drones are surprised!
    Hillary was eagerly anticipating it.
    Remember all the idiots fainting at his speeches. Where are they now?
    I must say, Obama is setting and breaking all speed records, lol.
    Yep.
    No this is History in the making.
    49% of Americans KNEW it would



    of course, we' re not koolaid drinkers
    I sure did
    Actually - Although I knew exactly what this guy was from my own VETTING...



    I never anticipated he'd try to push through all this stuff so quickly!



    And I also thought that once the TOWN HALL meetings and near term elections revealed that this was NOT the MANDATE HE WANTED it to be.... he would change course.



    Nope... it's all about DOING WHATEVER THE HELL he wants... with our money.
    I knew for one expected this to happen and to happen quickly . It is exactly what should happen when you have a radical community agitator an idelouge as President . Obama and the Democrats who backed him are going to get exactly what they deserve which is the boot of the American People . Im sick and tired of the obvious excuses made for this man and his administration.
    It is not falling apart, it is starting to regain momentum. The people are starting to see through the outrageous paranoia and delusional claims made by the right and are abandoning them. Only the very gullible and severely biased will continue to base their political views from the fear perspective being pushed on us by a daily basis. The extreme twisting of the truth is failing.



    The economy is slowly turning around, the conservatives have nothing left but to slander and lie. The country continues to grow more socially liberal each passing year and as a result, the social conservatives are losing their foothold.



    Unless Obama neglects the people, and quits addressing the lies spewed out, he will be here again in 2012. Americans are tired of being manipulated by fear.
    Appearances can be deceiving. Although the American people have started to awaken to the direction Obama is attempting to take, there is still much work left to be done to educate them of the dangers of this presidency. We still have 9 months left with an ultra left leaning Congress that can still do much damage, and 11 months before they are out of power. That is if the voters clean the progressives out of the House and Senate. The damage done to the economy and advances toward more government control came very quickly in just the first few months of his administration. With nearly another year of this alliance, there is no telling how much more harm may be done. Even though the super majority in the Senate has been broken, they still have a vast advantage over any opposition as well as in the House. DO NOT underestimate this man or the people backing him in his quest for more power. He and the progressive Congress are by far the worst threat to our freedoms we have ever faced. If there is insufficient turnout in November, we will not break the chain of power and that will be our undoing.
    YOU probably did, but I've noticed most ';Conservatives'; to have deluded themselves about a lot of things, so it makes sense that you would...
    It's not...but the Republican Party has fallen apart so much their only way of conveying issues now days is by throwing a tea-bag fest...
    Say what? White people moved backed into the White House. The presidency failed?



    Ah, isn't nice that you decided to speak on behalf of ALL americans and somehow know what ALL americans want. Who elected you? Did you divine this, or use tea leaves? How did you come to such an grand conclusion to know what more than 300 million people want.



    Conservatives just want their fellow KKK leaders in office.

  • I want to become a military intelligence officer. should i go ROTC or just wait?

    I am a junior in college and i am majoring in law enforcement.



    my ultimate goal is to work for the FBI or the DOD or something of that nature.



    i always planned on going into the military, but after sitting in classrooms my entire life i am beginning to become restless, and feel insignificant.



    my question is



    should i wait until i graduate from college and then go OCS. or should i join the ROTC and become an officer through them.



    The ROTC seems like a lot of busy work and fluff, and the OCS seems like more of a direct route after college, but i am not sure which one is better, and which one will allow me to get the job i want in the military.



    I don't care about the money, this is simply a career move. as the FBI and DOD will look at candidates with military experience first.



    i have talked to a few recruiters but to tell you the truth they sound like a bunch of snake oil salesmen trying to get me to sign my life over. promising me a job in MI. when in fact they could retract that at the drop of a hat and have me working at a kitchen in Fallujah, or getting my *** blown off in the streets of Baghdad.



    don't get me wrong. its not that i don't want to see some action. its just not my first choice.



    I want to become a Military Intelligence Officer. tell me how to do that.



    Also i scored pretty high on the ASVAB, so its not like i am Gomer Pile trying to be 007 or something. so i qualify for almost any job. i just don't want to get screwed into some job i don't want for 6 years, and then have the FBI asking me why all i did for six years was do laundry. i am just really nervous about getting screwed over by the military into doing some menial job that an asshole could do. how do i lock in this MI job?I want to become a military intelligence officer. should i go ROTC or just wait?
    I'm not sure why you think ROTC is fluff. My cadets balance schoolwork, part time employment in addition to their ROTC responsibilities. ROTC is designed to mimic active duty as closely as possible in the academic environment. If you do it right, it pretty demanding.



    Reading your post tells me you don't really understand much about the military. . . ie we have contractors to do our laundry.... If you sign a contract for MI and you don't screw things up, you'll get MI.



    Have you considered taking ROTC for a semester and finding out more information? If you decide its not for you, don't take anymore ROTC. If you like, great, keep at it.I want to become a military intelligence officer. should i go ROTC or just wait?
    Probably he thinks the ROTC is a fluff compared with whatever training he undergone in the camps overseas, if you get my drift. What do you think an MI officer does? Funny man

    u should probably just wait and get your degree and go into ROTC
    My father was a police officer back before they used tanks, M-16, and would follow someone home who had one too many instead of giving them a 5 year prison sentence. The FBI in Phoenix, Arizona issued a memo a few months ago saying anyone quoting the doctrines of this country should be watched as a terrorist. Are you sure the FBI is the type of law inforcement you seek? Talk to a recruiter but get everything in writing. When I enlisted I was guaranteed Aircraft Matainance. What I got was infantry raido opperator.
    ROTC is great to have on your resume for applying for military officer's school. It also prepares in a way for the strict discipline required.
    Ok you have to be in ROTC for at least 2 years, you have to go to LTC (Leadership Training Camp) in the summer, some Jr's joined ROTC and went this summer but they have to stick around for another one or two semesters in order to full fill their ROTC training requirements.

    The next summer you have to go to LDAC (Leadership Development Assessment Course) and either commission at the end of that course or come back for another semester.

    You HAVE to attend these two courses if you are not prior service, if you are prior service you only need to attend LDAC, but still have to complete your MS 3 and MS 4 semesters (two semesters of each)



    Talk to an ROTC recruiter for more info, NOT a REGULAR ARMY recruiter.



    Your GPA, Training, Evaluations and score from LDAC will determine what branch (officer job) you get. You get to make a list but they ';draft'; people into each branch based on how high your overall score is.

    I'm going Infantry branch detail Military Intelligence. Which means I'll be infantry while I'm an LT and transfer to MI when I make Captain. It was my first pick.
    Before you are given any type of training in the MI field you will have a background security investigation ran on you . They will know more about you than your own Mother knows when they are finished. That investigation is conducted after you are sworn in , so if you are not deemed worthy of a clearance , you will be assigned to a MOS that your aptitude qualifies you for and what the needs of whatever branch of service you are in happen to be at that particular time. The reason it is done after you are in is that it is expensive to do the investigation. They don't want to do it before hand and then you change your mind about entering the service.
    If you are really dead set on getting MI, ROTC is the better option. This is how it works:



    USMA gets the first pick of branches

    ROTC gets the second pick of branches

    OCS gets the the third choice of branches. However despite that, there are still branches available from all areas including the very competitive ones to get such as Infantry, Armor, Military Intelligence



    In ROTC to determine which branch you get, 40% is College GPA, the remaining is from ROTC. If you didn't get MI, the are other ways to try and get the branch you want from ROTC. One way is to increase the amount of time you will serve in the Army at a minimum. But even if you offer to do that and still don't get MI, you have to be prepared to have the risk of not getting MI. You are more likely to get MI as enlisted rather than as an officer. If you didn't get MI though initially, you might have to serve as in another branch from 2LT to 1LT, but when you are 1LT promotable, you might be able to switch branches then. And ultimately if you can't switch branches, regardless of the branch you will receive, you will be an officer and gain experience leading people. Also if you don't get MI, there is always the option of Military Police too and Signal Corps.
    ok first of all, your right about the recruiters. they dont care about you, they just want you to sign up so it looks good on their records and they will say anything to make you sign. My best advive would be to talk to as many people as you can in the job that you want and see how they did it

    SUBJECT: HELP PLEASE!





    To Whom It May Concern:



    If I may take a few minutes of your time I would like to share with you where and how my family arrived to our current situation with our lives, this includes our finances, and how we got to this point. On May of 2006 I left my previous 12 year job with County Fire Department for the following three reasons: (1) my position with County was being eliminated as of July 1st 2006. (2) Because I was losing my job with County I tried to be positive, aggressive, and proactive in finding a new job before I was let go. I Began testing in Colorado in October of 2005 and was doing very well. I continued testing for the next nine months truly believing I would be successful in getting a job in Colorado in particular with the Denver City Fire Department. I thankfully was very successful with my testing efforts and the job was pending on passing a final background. The Start/hire date was estimated to be around mid July giving us enough time to pack, move, and get established in our rental home before I started my new job. (3) My wife was pregnant with our second child and was put on mandatory bed rest by her doctor until further notice due to complications. This happened in the end of April and I resigned 8 days later with County to be with my wife and my two year old daughter.



    It檚 about mid May of 2006; I am home packing the house to move, taking care of my wife and my daughter. I continued making trips to Colorado for final testing and to look for our new home and a rental. We as a family make a trip around the end of May and put money down on a new Pulte house in Broomfield Colorado as well as finding a rental to live in until our house is built. My parents came along with us because they are also selling their house and moving with us. Our current home in Helendale has not sold yet and the sellers market has dropped significantly from what it was one year ago. We decided that if it doesn檛 sale before we move that we could afford to put it up for rent and we would be able to make up the difference with the money I would be making on my new job.



    By June we are recovering from the loss of the our baby but we are trying to stay focused on moving and are looking forward to this exciting new start with our lives in Colorado. Ten days after losing our baby we receive a letter from Denver City stating that I did not pass the final Background and was disqualified for employment. Very confused, I called to find out what happened and they said that they could not divulge any information but said that I could hire my own private investigator to find out what caused the problem. I follow their advice and hire an investigator and find out that we have been victims of identity theft for many years and the investigator stated that this would automatically disqualify me from any government/public service job. I was confused and angry without any idea what or how this had happened or how to fix this problem.



    It is now July of 2006 I am now without a job unable to move and trying to figure out what to do for a job to support my family and how do I accomplish fixing this identity theft problem. I spend the next 8 months trying to fixing the identity theft problem spending over 10, 000.00 dollars of our money (not to mention the 75,000 per year in wages and benefits that were lost when I was denied employment) making hundreds of phone calls to agencies such as San Bernardino County Sheriff, FBI, FTC, IRS, Homeowner insurance company, Social Security, AIG, Creditors, Banks, and many others. I have filed two dozen reports to meet the needs of every agency requesting documentation, I have also spend 8 to 10 hours a day looking for work, working on solving our multiple problems, or working on small jobs like washing cars, yard work, small construction jobs etc. I have turned in over thirty (30) applications but I am unable to find work because my fifteen years of experience, diploma, and formal training are all based on the Fire Service. The catch 22 dilemma is I can檛 test for fire departments or other public service type jobs that I am trained and experienced in until the identity theft problem is solved or I would run into the same problem I had with Denver City. I continue to hear the same thing from every employer, why are you here and are you going to go back to the fire service? Once I explained the problem they seemed compassionate about my problem but were unable or unwilling to hire me. Over the months we get further and further behind financially. Our problems have now become a huge avalanche running at full speed and devouring everything in its path. Finally, after 8 months, hundreds of hours, applications, interviews and resumes I found a part time job. I started by mid January of 2007 and the job is teaching with a Community College. For now it is only part time but I am extremely happy to be working again. Even though I am working I continue looking for full time work in the fire service or anywhere else I can find.



    In the past several years I have been injured in a head on car accident with a drunk driver, had sever health issues related to stress/anxiety that required me to make multiple emergency room trips, lost a child, lost my grandmother on Christmas day, lost a best friend to cancer, lost another friend to a car accident, lost both cars that we owned, my identity, a career, my dreams, ambitions, hope, peace of mind, joy and our home in a matter of days. We have had our power turned off as well as water and cable (not a big loss there) we have had to call on our family or friends several times to drive us to work due to lack of gas money. We have bought food at discount stores (like day old bread) to save any money possible. We have also sacrificed many personnel items like golf clubs, Thomas Kinkaid art collection, football card collection, collector coins passed down by family, and many other valuable items that we had to garage sale or sold on EBay to make money just so we could survive. Our credit has been severely damaged and our faith challenged. In addition to all of that I continue to suffer from several illnesses requiring medications and a lot of doctor visits. We experienced a corrupt real-estate transaction when we tried to refinance our home to get money to help us and instead we lost 32,000 dollars and gained absolutely nothing but more headaches and attorney fees. That problem is currently under investigation with the DRE. We also gave up our dream to move to Colorado, a new house, a great new job doing what I love, and having the ability to help my parents who are retired and on a fixed income and were also counting/depending on moving. My wife and I are hanging on by a thread and are tired, stressed, frustrated, deeply depressed, angry, and confused. We really don檛 want to lose the one thing we have left, our home.



    I totally and completely understand that this is not anyone else檚 problem and that no one is responsible for helping us in any way, however, I hope that someone can find it in their hearts to help my family anyway possible. This is our problem and I take my commitment that I made to my family very serious and we continue to do all we can to make things right again. We really don檛 want to lose our house and would like to get back on track. I refuse to walk away without trying to do everything in my power first. I don檛 want a short sale or foreclosure, this does nothing for our mortgage company or my family to solve the problem and in the end we all lose. I am confident that there is an answer to all of these problems and that they can be solved. Again, I understand no one owes us anything and we very well may lose everything we have if that is Gods will, I just ask that if there is any way possible that anyone else may be aware of, please, help us help our selves so we can get back on our feet, please let me know. Please help us if you can in any way. Don檛 forget, we definitely can use and would be grateful for your prayers.



    Please know and understand this; we have tried everything in our knowledge and power to fix the problem and we have asked for help from our family, friends, church and other sphere of influences. They have been great emotional support but most were unable to help other than that. I have written to Governor Arnold Schwartsanigger, Congress representatives Barbara Boxer and Jerry Lewis. I spoke with radio stations asking to share my story to educate others, and I might have the Wall Street Journal writing a story on our situation (waiting for confirmation). I have called or emailed hundreds of churches for prayers and help, called other family members out of state, friends and even complete strangers looking for help, ideas or any kind of work opportunities they may know of. I don檛 know if there are any true heroes left in this world but I am calling 911 to my fellow country members during this major life changing crisis and I hope someone is going to respond. Please understand that I am a father and I love my family very much and I don檛 want to see them in pain or in fear anymore, it just destroys me inside to see them suffer. I have tried everything I can to stop, save or change our situation to no avail. I wish I did not have to write this letter but it檚 all I have left. I know at some point this will end and we will be better, smarter, humbled, joyful, peaceful, and more grateful for our lives and for the lives of others around us. I believe and hope that I can someday use this experience to help others that are struggling or have felt all alone with nowhere to run.



    As stated earlier in this letter I am now working and my wife starts working the first of April. We are confident that we can get back on our feet and are working hard to get our lives back on track. We are slowly getting there but it may be too late. Please understand that I have had to steal change from my two year old daughters little piggy bank just so I have gas to get to work. My sweet daughter told me that it is ok because she loves me. To give you an idea we have lost over 100,000 dollars this past year to year and half from these multiple problems, but we are not going to give up we are constantly praying and we are resilient, confident, humble and hard working and we are committed to make this unfortunate situation right again. We will try to do all we can to make this work and pray you can help us. I thank you so much for your time and consideration in regards to this matter.

    What can I add to my essay about Malcolm X? PLZ HELP NOW!?

    I had to write it in first person.



    Here it is:



    Hello, my name is Malcolm X. I was born in Omaha Nebraska in 1925. When I was born, my name wasn’t Malcolm X, it was Malcolm Little. I later changed it to Malcolm X because I disagreed with my former slave owner’s actions. It was a mark for my unknown family. When I was six, my father died in a car accident. My mother was left to take care of eight children. Not too long after that, my mother became mentally ill was sent to an insane asylum. My siblings and I were sent to foster homes or to live with other family members. When I was about done with junior-high, I told my teacher that I wanted to be a lawyer when I was older. He said that it was “no realistic goal for a ******” and that I should be a carpenter instead (“Malcolm X”). At the age of fifteen, I dropped out of school. When I was nineteen, I was arrested and convicted of a burglary and was sentenced to prison for eight to ten years. During that time, I decided to educate myself further and I joined the Nation of Islam. I was a Civil Rights militarist. I wanted blacks to do whatever it took to get equal opportunities. My options were separating from whites completely, peace and talking it through, and violence.

    Some people might say that I disapproved of integration completely and we should just separate entirely (Davidson). That is true. At first, I disliked the idea of racial equality and integration. How was that supposed to pay off for all those years African Americans were forced to work in fields and be servants for wealthy white families? As I said in one of my speeches, “An integrated cup of coffee isn’t sufficient enough to pay for four-hundred years of slave labor.” By separating, we would have had our own community where whites were nowhere to be found!

    My second option was peace. I could have chosen to do what Martin Luther King Jr. did. Peace and talking it over, but I didn’t find that sufficient enough. I didn’t believe that his views on the Civil Rights movement would do us any good. Martin’s father was a preacher and what he preached was a peaceful subject. But talking about it wasn’t going to get us anywhere. As I have said before, I wanted our people to do whatever it took to get racial equality (Jessup).

    Moreover, I had an option of violent protests. I encouraged African American citizens to do whatever it takes and that included violence. I wanted equal job opportunities, wages, educational opportunity, basically day-to-day equality. The FBI attended all my speeches because they did not like what I preached about equality (Malcolm X Bio”).

    I chose this last option. Looking back on it now, I don’t think I would change my decision. They were violent to us; we’ll be violent to them. Who cares if it was centuries ago? Just because they are white does not make them a better race than us. We are all people and I – nor was any other black I knew – was going to put up with being treated unfairly. Between violence, separating completely, and peace, I decided to choose violence.





    it has to be four pages long and so far, i only have 2 pages. What can i add to the three body paragraphs to make it longer? I didn't find much information on him through the internet and i didn't find many books that gave information on him. Please help.What can I add to my essay about Malcolm X? PLZ HELP NOW!?

    Different jobs?

    i am just thinking about what college i would like to go to and what job, i'm obviously in no big rush because im only in 9th grade but here are some questions about different jobs im interested in.

    1. forensic anthropology- what courses do you have to take in college? are there any good colleges in new york? pros and cons of the job....how do you get to be a forensic anthropologist and work with the fbi...is any one on this site a forensic antropologist?

    2.journalist-i would love to be a journalist for a magazing, preferably a fashion magazing....again what courses and colleges required and is it really hard to write for a popular magazine

    3. lawyer - anything about it

    thanks

    which job would you reccomend, and what type of person works best for each jobDifferent jobs?
    I think it's great that you're thinking about it, but let me tell you something- when i was your age, I wanted to be a journalist. When I got to college and talked to people in that field, I realized it wasn't for me.



    But, for your question- Lawyer makes the most money, but goes through the most schooling. Need to love to study because lawyers are constantly studying and researching after schooling is over.



    Journalist- stressful, but thrilling. Not much money there. But very ';fun'; if you love writing and you're social.



    FBI/Forensics- You MUST like a lifestyle where work comes first and family and friends don't mean as much to you because work will consume your life. Must love science and be able to deal with bad people doing bad things all the time. Must be able to see sad and horrifying thingsDifferent jobs?

    GOOD LUCK! :-)

    Instead of Preaching morality should Conservatives leaders actually follow what they tell us to do?

    Seems no one brings up Senator David Vitter these days. Have Conservatives forgotten this or not care that he bought prostitutes? Apparently he is OK with them to run for office again. How about John Ensign...paying for a mistress and getting her a job with the Republican party who is now also under FBI indictment? Conservatives are once again mute, and he is running again.



    When asked about these two all I get is Democrats did this and Democrats did that. Well we are not talking about Democrats are we....it is the Family Values Conservatives we are talking about.



    Should Conservative leaders practice what they preach and should someone who preaches these views be held up to higher standard then those who do not preach?



    Should Vitter and Ensign step aside for the good of all Conservatives? Why is it they think they cannot be replaced by someone who actually has morals and doesn't just talk about them?Instead of Preaching morality should Conservatives leaders actually follow what they tell us to do?
    Rhetoric and hyperbole continue to be the tools of choice for the GOP. Facts are the LAST thing they promote. They also seem to depend on Alzheimers and short attention spans to elect the otherwise unelectable hypocrites.Instead of Preaching morality should Conservatives leaders actually follow what they tell us to do?
    Prostitution be free enterprise, baby. Can't blame a brother for spreadin' the wealth can you? aint that what all you libs is about?



    First off brainiac, conservatism is a fiscal concept. Yes a lot of Republicans preach the family values to get elected, but it has nothing to do with conservative policies. All politicians are scum. The power and influence draws that type of person to the job. So you shouldn't be surprised when one of them does something stupid. Get over it.
    Well, see, that would subject them to actual accountability, and know that republicans are only about accountability for other people, not for themselves or their friends.
    Love Heat Miser, hate republicans who are hypocrites, they need to go...just like ANY RINO, and anyone who has forgotten WHAT their true job is in washington.
    One word ACORN
    You know, I'm a libertarian conservative and I agree with you 100%! The republicans need to practice what they preach. If they're going to hold to family values, then they need to remain faithful to their wives. If the Republicans are going to preach smaller government and free markets, then they need not stick out their hands for government bailouts.



    Now, in all fairness the same should hold true for liberal leaders. If they're going to demand taxes of other people, then they should pay their own. If they're really concerned about the ozone, then they need to trade in their jets and SUV's for battery cars like they tell us to drive. They also need to stop building 9-million dollar mansions in California, like Al Gore, while running around pretending to understand the plight of the poor. I wonder how many acres of woodland had to be sacrificed to build Gore's home?



    True, there are double-standards among some conservatives, but let's be fair, the liberals have problems, too, so why can't we just admit it from both sides?

  • Is their someone who can help me decide my future?

    I'm having major headaches about my future. I don't know what career I want. But with what career I want, other problems come in the way such as what country,city, or environment do I want to live in. What job do I want, and what jobs are offered in that country. Or even what if I want to start a family, how will my job affect my relationship with my kids. You see all my life I've been thinking what I want to be. I'm 18 yrs old know. And I still can't decide. Like I want a job where I still will have my kids. I've decided that in a business career, depending on what level it is, I'm hoping to go to a higher level, that I maybe can take my child along to wherever I'm going. If I did have a business career, I feel as if if learned to play an instrument today, that I can teach my kids. I also wanted to open my own school, that;s why I chose business. For money to open my own school and curriculum. But even if I didn't open my own school, if I chose business, I'd like to live in Japan. If I chose criminology or forensic sciences I want to live in the United States in a big city. But than if I am so involved in investigation, I might get carried away and not have time for a family or if I had one for my kids. As well as its a more dangerous job, cause I wanted to be apart of of the FBI. I also wondered if I should be a dietitian, but that is the most uncertain one. I want a career I enjoy, with an environment I will be happy in, as well as still making my dreams come true, such as making a school, and having a family. I even wanted to adopt some kids. But my options are limited. If I chose something, something else might not come true. If I choose crime investigation, than that might be my life. While if I choose business, it might open my doors more. But I really can't decide. Who do I talk to. Should I talk to my university academic advisers, because I'm deciding to post-pone my education. I'm first year business student, and doing horribly because I don't know what I should focus on.Is their someone who can help me decide my future?
    We can not decide for you. It is your life. I suggest you talk to the advisers. Then talk to people in the careers you are seeking. Try volunteer work or job shadowing to a get a realistic view of the job. You can also watch videos online about the careers. You can search forums in google and see what people in the careers are complaining about.



    After you get a better idea of the pros and cons of each job make a list of your values, likes, dislikes, etc and see which ones conflict more with your overall plan.Is their someone who can help me decide my future?
    i saw this question before and i was too lazy to read all that and i came back and there are 0 answers so i felt bad and read it. i'm 15 so i don't know anything about careers. i don't know what i want to do myself. choose what you enjoy doing and everything will fall into place. remember, if you pick a career you don't have to do it your entire life. people change careers all the time so it's never too late. try talking to a career counselor if your school has one. don't stress on these kinds of things, it's not worth it. just go with the flow. that's how i feel. you're 18, don't worry about kids and being too busy for them. find a career first, if it turns out not to be what you expected, go with the next thing. when you do have kids, if you are too busy for them and working constantly try finding the next career or try altering your working schedule. anyways like i said you are too young to be worrying about kids you're 18 but my only advice is, and this comes from the heart. i stress that you don't leave your kids with nannies or in daycares or leave them alone because my parents work 24/7 and i see them for about 5minutes a day and they don't come home even once on the weekends. when you're growing up as a kid you really need and want your parents. when i was 7-12 i really missed them and it hurt to see kids playing with their parents at the park and i barely saw my own. my sister actually took me aside when i was 7 and i was crying because i missed seeing my dad and he came home once and he just got there and was already getting ready to leave and didn't even take off his shoes and i said daddy where are you going? and he said back to work and i broke into tears and my sister told me to suck it up. that's life, those are the parents i have and i can't do anything about it. eventually i got it. i'm 15 now so i'm use to it and i don't care to see them anyways they nag me too much and annoy me. but yeah it really hurt growing up and i was really lonely without them. i was put into daycare or was watched by older siblings but it's not the same as motherly/fatherly love. good luck to you!! i truly wish you the best.

    I'm 54 yo-babysat growing up-no kids-no recent exp.- fed'l career now retired. how to get experience now?

    I am now retired. I have step-grandchildren but too far away to babysit and have experience that way. I signed up for online babysitting and for online dog sitting. How r u supposed to be able to get a job if u have no recent experience? I'm far away from the children I used to babysit and their parents-lord only knows! So how do I get experience %26amp; give references when I've no recent experience? need answers with the BABYsitting aspect and also for dog/pet sitting. I have fbi clearance %26amp; fed'l govt security clearance-worked for ssa. totally clean record.

    Any and all help will be appreciated!

    Also have questions separate sections re:returning to college and getting computer experience for ex:microsoft excel, etc? I'm 54 yo-babysat growing up-no kids-no recent exp.- fed'l career now retired. how to get experience now?
    1: get bonded. Easy to do with your clearances, and an important advertising feature.



    2: get a magnetic car sign that advertises what you do. you'd be surprised at how inexpensive they can be and the contacs you will get.



    3. leave fliers at vet offices and groomers in better neighborhoods; have a discount coupon be part of the flier. (Don't let people combine discounts or free things: you don't want to work for some cheap jerk who tries to get you to stay a week for free. Hand out fliers at the dog training classes at Petco etc. Make sure your flier says that ';I spoil them when you can't'; or something. Explain what you do to get to know the dog to make it happy, less stressed, etc.



    4. offer to do dogwalking during the day, to break up the dog's day and so they won't be so bouncy when their owners come home. My former housesitter now makes more as a dogwalker than at anything else.



    5. hand out a marketing/promotional item with your name on it. Make it cute, like a keyring with a bone shaped tag that has your name and phone. These aren't too expensive and they really make people remember you.



    6. get a part time job at a vet's office (front office is fine). Once people meet you--you sound like a sweetheart--then I'm sure you could get sitting jobs. At the vet's office you can learn to give shots and then you could market that--a petsitter who is capable of taking care of diabetic or other issues would make a fortune. My MD's RN makes $750 a week housesitting for a family with older dogs who need meds, and she keeps a daily dog diary so the owners know what the dogs did each day for fun, did they eat well, etc. She keeps a binder that has a sheet on each pet (w/photo) w/ meds, favorite snack, etc.



    Good luck--you sound like a real treasure, just what everyone needs!I'm 54 yo-babysat growing up-no kids-no recent exp.- fed'l career now retired. how to get experience now?
    volunteer at a day care center or elementary school to get experience. volunteer at the local animal shelter.
    Darlin I don't think babies have change to much, how ever long it's been, and everyone has their own ideas on how to raise their children, and will tell you what they expect anyway, they have their own choices of diapers,bottles,formula,foods,schedules. and it's different for each family. Place an ad in local papers and once you start you will have more referrals than you will need. Good Luck.

    If I pay a cash option for a warrant will the warrant still be active once im assigned a court date?

    Ok being stupid working at a retail store i gave my friend a discount on merchandise and later terminated and charged for it. I was not arrested but was given a citation and told to call to obtain my court date and enter the digits on the citation. I called but no record was found of a court date I tried every other week and still no court date. So i forgot about and got a job at the airport which of course does FBI fingerprinted based background checks I passed and got the job but due to a lay off became unemployed 6 months later. After being offered another job I failed a background check due to a active warrant I knew nothing about which was Oct 20th 2009 when i was notified, The warrant has been active sense March 2009 and I obtained my job at the airport May 1st 2009.....I don't know how i passed one background check that took two weeks for the airport and failed an 48 hour background check but I did.....But at least I found out I had an active warrant before i was pulled over...I called and I can either turn myself in and bail 300 dollars or pay 50 dollars just to set up another court date....I have goals and i don't want this dumb discussion to mess up my life by obtaining a criminal record with THEFT BY SWINDLE being the charge...Is there anyway the judge will allow other punishment besides giving a record?If I pay a cash option for a warrant will the warrant still be active once im assigned a court date?
    May try to get the prosecutor to agree to a pretrial diversion agreement. Where you would be law abiding for (1 year) and the state would dismiss the charge. They may require you to pay restitution for the stuff taken. It is worth a try - if not the n fight the charge. What have you got to lose?If I pay a cash option for a warrant will the warrant still be active once im assigned a court date?
    The warrant that has been issued is likely a bench warrant, issued by the judge for your failure to appear at your trial. In most states, failure to appear is a separate charge. It sounds like you are being offered an opportunity to pay $50 to have the failure to appear charge dropped and have a new court date set for original theft charge. I would take this option, rather than being served with a warrant and having to post bail, which would probably result in an arrest record.



    As far as trying to get your original charge dropped or reduced, your best bet is to hire an attorney. You could try to approach the prosecutor yourself, before court, and negotiate to plead guilty to a lesser offense, but your chance of success is greatly improved if you have an attorney.

    How can i decide my future?

    i have multiple job ideas for my future although i am only 12 and have much more time to decide what i want to do for my future i would like to get something to focus on.My best category is Math i am the top student in my math class.Some jobs that i was thinking of so far was:FBI agent,Teacher,or something to do with computers because i am very good with them.The main thing i would look for in a job is if i love doing it the payment doesnt really matter if i love doing my job then i will be good at it if anyone has any ideas for a job that might intrest me please let me knowHow can i decide my future?
    I'm betting you, like most people, will have very different interests by the time you graduate than you have now. This happens all the time. How many people wanted to be a doctor but, later changed their mind and wanted to become a NASCAR driver then, later wants to be a computer programmer?



    You're only 12, now. You have a whole life ahead of you. It's great you have goals but, for now you are kid. Do kid things; play kid games; enjoy being a kid. Continue doing well in school and keep your interests and do your best to follow up on those interests.How can i decide my future?
    dont think about it so much. be a kid and have fun when u get to be in high school, youll probably want to be something completely different.
    Well, if you want to be an FBI agent I hear the pay sucks and so does teaching. But we need both badly.



    How about engineering?
    Sorry kid. I stopped reading after I am only 12. Give it a few years you will know then.
    your 12? go have fun!

    it will come to you

    life is too short to worry right now

    especially since your 12!!!

    enjoy being young

    cuz time flies
    Maybe there are websites to help you decide what job you want. Maybe accountant
    Ask people what they like and dont like about their jobs and see if you like the positive and can deal with the negatives.
    if you like math and you like dealing with kids whether early age or highschool id go for the teacher job. but if thats not the case then just go for the computer jobs with technology now days theres gunna be a high demand for anything of that nature for a while and youd be getting payed decently.
    Yea, and let me know when anyone can actually GET A JOB THEY LOVE that is easy to decide upon in one's future!!!



    this is a hard question.

    If i were you I wouldn't let strangers pick what I wanted to do for the rest of my life because they have NOOOO knowledge of your characteristics or likings whatsoever.



    Plus to find a major at such a young age is almost completely destined to change later in a few years. Many college students change their majors after some months!!!



    So don't stress about it; this time is to test the grounds on all sorts of things you can consider upon further studying in your college years to when someday you can actually work for it!



    (man sorry for soooo much jibberish):) good luck!
    you will be very successful with your life you may not have many friends now but someday you will i would know i am psychic...
    There a lot of excellent career opportunities out inthe workplace. Have you considered a career in the Armed Services. They cater for almost alltypes of careers, from cooks toIntelligence officers, drivers to computer technicians (Guidance systems and Avionics). Get a few brochures sent from

    www.defencejobs.gov.au/

    Hope this may help you

    Best of luck for your future. You are very mature in your outlook
    Yeah, I agree with the first answerer. I liked completely different things when I was in elementary/middle school. Your favorite subjects will change, your aspirations, what you look for in a job. It'll all be different.

    How do you like this joke...?

    There were 3 men, a White guy, a Mexican guy, and a INDIAN guy (from INDIA).

    All three men are being recruited by the FBI and before they could be offered a job they have to be put through a series of tests to question their will. The fbi get each of there wives and put them in 3 separate rooms and tell the 3 men they have to go in the room and kill there wives with a gun given to them by the FBI. All 3 of the men agree to do so.

    So, the white guy is first and after being in the room about 15-20 mins he comes out crying and sobbing saying that he couldn't do it because he loves her too much.

    Now the mexican guy goes in and again after about 15-20 mins comes out crying and sobbing saying he loves her to much and cant do it.

    Alomost done with the testing the FBI officials are very pleased so far.

    Finally the INDIAN guys turn, he goes in and after about 15 mins everybody hears ARGUING, SHOUTING, SCUFFLING, THINGS BREAKING, AND A LOUD THUD.

    The Indian guy finally comes out scratched and bruised and out of breath. The Fbi official asks, ';What the hell happened in there?';

    The indian man replies, ';Some Asshole put blanks in the gun, so i had to beat her to death';.



    I HOPE I DIDNT OFFEND ANYONE. I could have been any 3 men in any order but since i am indian my self and seen indian marriages because of domestic violence i thought i might be bit more funnier.

    Please tell me what you think?How do you like this joke...?
    OMG! That was so tragically funnyMAO!!!.How do you like this joke...?
    That was terrible.
    Well it's sort of funny, but definitely mean funny, since someone dies...domestic violence isn't really funny.
    Good one!
    LOL That's pretty funny. But I didn't know about the rate of Indian domestic violence. I just thought it was funny regardless. Good one.
    :P it was supposed to be a woman instead of an Indian man. and that the women beat her husband to death. i've seen the joke already.
    I don't think it was funny!
    so funny......ha ha ha
