Now here is an issue we should ALL
Posted: Apr 23, 2014
Its about how vets are dying literally because of the wait. this is NOTHING new and goes back to the Vietnam war, but one good reason I oppose war in general is our RECORD of not taking care of the soldiers who are signed up at too young of an age to know what they are getting into - and often WHY. We should all be outraged over this and express our outrage to our congressmen and women - and ALL administrations who don't make this a priority.;
That is very sad. And this is now the quality - of care that
[ In Reply To ..]they want people with Obamacare to suffer through.
The people who should care don't. They don't because they've got theirs and *blank* the rest of you.
One thing though on the age issue is I believe you have to be at least 18 to join the service. They are not too young to know what they are getting into.
Agree to - Disagree
[ In Reply To ..]First of all I made clear that the VA problems are not new... and it should be clear they are not related to ACA. That is, to people not bound and determined to slam ACA at every chance they get.
18 is FAR too young to know what they are getting into - the brain of an 17/18 year old is not even fully developed/matured. SECONDLY and more importantly, students are not told the truth about US foreign policy, historically, and as with the IRAQ fake war they are lied to about the reason for new conflicts.
MANY signed up for economic reasons. I am just saying if we really love and support our troops we should never lie them into war and when they ARE deployed in combat we should move heaven and earth to treat them WELL and promptly on their return.
What a bunch of hooey!! - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Go back centuries and include world history to find ages of young men embroiled in battle. Look to recent history in this country, including the drafts. You are not giving credit to the intelligence of young people of this country now or in the past. The problem is not them. It's the government! Face reality.
You missed the point(s) - of the post
[ In Reply To ..]I didn't insult either the intelligence or the integrity of 'young' people, NOR was I questioning how *long* young men and women have been exploited by the military whether in this country or other countries.
I invite you to re-read my original post(s) contents... Or not, I could not possibly care less if you agree with my position.
agree - nm

Help With Skin Issue, PleaseJul 26, 2011
I've never had this before, but on my forehead and spreading to a small part of my cheek, near my mouth and on one side of my nose I've developed seborrheic keratosis. My PCP told me to use a very mild cleanser and hydrocortisone cream x3 daily, but it really doesn't seem to be helping much.

Why Does Money Have To Be Such An Issue?Jun 23, 2010
Even when it's not the lack of it, but more the equality in spending it. My DH gets very upset and defensive when I suggest to him that he has a whole lot more money in his checking account than I do in mine, yet I'm paying ALL the household expenses, all the vet bills, and ALL the remodeling expenses on the house. He'll make some lame excuse, and then he closes up, shuts down, and sulks. I have more than enough to live on, but that's not the point. I've decide ...

Not Sure If This Is A Health Issue But...Nov 12, 2013
I have a bra question. I've recently learned that I have been wearing the wrong size bra for years (who hasn't unfortunately). I was sized at Victoria Secret and am a size 34DDD. I've always worn bigger size bras to fit the cups and had spillage and still had a gap in the band part, no matter the size or style, and now I know why they never fit properly. Well, VS has my size 34DDD (of course) in many styles but they are at least $50 for one bra and way out of my price range, n ...

A Few Observations About The Tax Issue.Oct 03, 2016
The first thing to note is that any business, and especially those that do business in multiple states and even in other countries, operates in landscape of tax obligations, of which the federal income tax is only one element and might even be much less significant than others. Second, "tax" refers to every and any monetary obligation that any and all taxing authorities levy on a business and sometimes certain particular operations that it conducts. For instance, fees for building permits ...

Should I Mention About A Possible Medical Issue Or NotDec 27, 2009
Some time back I mentioned to my DIL that her father should get his heart checked out. I noticed he had creases in his earlobes. The reason I mentioned is was for the fact I had a cardiologist who says this over and over in dictations, then when studying further found it could mean heart problems. Well, you would have thought I had tried to kill someone, everyone sprang into action stating there was nothing wrong with him at all. Fast forward a few years, DIL's father just recovering from q ...

Carson Had Better Adress This Issue HimselfSep 21, 2015
Carson, et al. is in "trouble" for stating that a Muslim is not fit for office of the POTUS. So, the discussion is why the radical actions of a religion should be the judgment for whether a person who ascribes to that faith can exclude that person from holding office as POTUS? How about those evangelicals? Women's subservience, anti-gay, some are outwardly racist. Anybody think, maybe, just maybe religion needs to get out of the political process? ...

Bladder Issue -- Interstitial Cystitis?Jan 01, 2012
I had a bladder tack in July 2011 and have done very, very well with it, up until about 2 weeks ago. Since that time I've had almost constant bladder pain (spasms maybe, not sure), and frequent urination, but no burning with urination. Let me just add that I had this same problem before the bladder tack as well, and it cleared up for a little while after the procedure, but seems to have come back with a vengeance in the last 2 weeks. I went to the doctor and she ruled out ...

Why Shouldn't We The People Vote For The Issue Of Oct 01, 2016
allowing Syrian or other immigrants into our country along with how many of us want illegal aliens to remain in our country. I am sorry but this directly affects me as well as you. We don't have armed guards to protect us and our children, grandchildren, etc. They blame the elderly for sponging off of the younger ones when we earned our own SS and the congress spent all of that money. We should be repaid for that and most certainly not made to get less because of these immigrants. ...
The Politics Of The Health Care IssueMar 25, 2017
Not only do we have health care issues but the politics of this debacle should tell you something about Donald Trump that many of you don't want to admit.

He is lazy and ignorant with no idea of how government works or how complicated issues are. ...
