How much money would be saved by removing the troops from the middle east?
How much money would actually be saved by pulling troops out of the middle east? Time after time critics argue that we are waisting money by being in the middle east..Money to rebuild will always be going to the middle east for a long time to come..If the troops were not in the middle east some of them would still be deployed. US troops get paid regardless of war or not..The military still trains and fires live rounds whether they are in Iraq or not..Ships still sail, jets still fly, Marines still deploy, reservist still drill, life goes on….All this cost money regardless of whether we are at war or not..So then why do some think we would be a richer Nation if we pulled out of Iraq?? Some claim the “recession” is due to the middle east..How are these two things tied together?? How much money would actually be saved? During times of peace everyone seems to be “ok” with the enormous defense budget, then why whine now about it??
What aircraft did you learn to fly in?
I learned to fly in a 1946 Talyorcraft. At the time I hated that plane. It had separate brake pedals from the rudder pedals, but that didn’t matter because the brakes didn’t work. When ever I flew it solo I had to wrap a tie down chain to the tail wheel when I propped it (I know dangerous as hell). My flight instructor weighed about 75 lbs more than me, so it was a whole different flight when he was in or out of the plane. No radio, just a handheld, and of the instruments it had I think the airspeed and altimeter were the only ones that worked correctly.
I hated that plane at the time, now I wish I had one
I am curious what some of the pilots in here learned in, and what they ended up doing as pilots later on.
can some phase this note better?
You call me while I was writing this yesterday that why I was laughing when you called. I was just listening to u talk about your dress and that just confirmed how I was feeling about how much I love very existence. From the moment I realized that I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I’ve been wondering what I can do for you or give you to show my feelings for you. You know we thought about flying to the Cayman Islands, Africa, Dubai and buying that Hummer. You know that I promise myself that I will not buy you or your love. So it’s been driving me crazy for a long time trying to find a creative way to show u. Well I was sitting in church today and the pastor said “the greatest gift you can give anyone is YOU”. That’s when it hit me he right and I thought of you. You know since we met I had one foot in and one foot out. Katrelle I’m tied of running from us. It’s time for me to surrender trelle no more leaving. Since u came into my life it has never been the sam
Confederate Flags…Is my town racist?????
I could go and research this, but I don’t really have time right now. I’ve always heard it tied to racism. I know that people protest against them hanging, etc. Every since I was young if we’d see one on someone’s vehicle, house, etc., you were told to steer clear of those people, because they were racist. I am a black woman, but I’m an adult, and I like to decide for myself now what beliefs I will and won’t have. So, I really would like to hear from people that do fly the flag……Are you racist?
My family and I just relocated to a city called Roanoke, VA. I’ve seen quite a few of the flags in the area, I’ve also seen KKK fliers on people’s windshields. I don’t want to raise my sons in a city where I have to fear them returning home one evening due to someone committing a hate crime. Honesty please.
Thanks for the responses. I am a bit uncomfortable with some of my surroundings, but I really a have no choice in this matter. My husband is here on assignment, so we’ll be living here for the next three years. It’s a beautiful city, and we were thinking about settling down, until a few signs that maybe we shouldn’t. Our boys are small now, so we have time to find a more tolerant home for them some day.
i need to know if this guy is giving up on his old best friend (a girl) or more than a friend (me)?
For the last time, I don’t care if it’s not the right kind of poetry, whatever, I didn’t write it. All I want to know is what it means. I know I post these a lot, but I never get enough responses, so please help me out here!! and details!
Oh, Beautiful Parasite!
Here is a box, yes it is for you.
Filled with green grasses,
but sadly that’s not the truth.
Father, look deeper and your thoughts may explode,
in a time capsule the blindman had been shown.
Time after space, space before grace,
but no true mark or unit,
the forefront of an unrecognizable face.
Child, not alone to wonder will you find the roots,
the ones that keep buried the secrets in their shoots.
Falling into the sky, thinking this shouldn’t be goodbye,
riding on the underside of a silver star,
you’re right; it doesn’t bring the want to rise.
Mother, look! Your son! Can’t you see it’s me in disguise?
These weeds that clutter your mind?
These droplets making rain arise?
These ions changing the boulder that flies,
these diamonds coming from the ore that cries?
These pieces of porcelain falling from such great heights,
these inevitable circles formed from innumerable lines,
these curtains revealing such darkness that blinds,
these seeds of which breath leads air to bind,
these winds grinding the cage that abides,
these ashes fueling the fire that tries?
And yet through the blackened sky,
my blows to the window I repeatedly applied,
still weren’t enough to break the ties,
the kept your heart sealed within the case in which you died.

The guy I like wrote this, and idk if it’s about me. This got no ansers in poetry, so I’m trying it here. Real answers only please.
Okay well here’s some details then. Me and this guy liked each other last year and we went to homecoming together, whatever. But we were both really shy and weren’t really doing anything about it. So he told his friends that I never made any moves. And recently stuff has happened… but I think he’s just moving on… and so am I… but I still want to know.
