I can see how some people like AYS(( Youth progam were i live)) Would need big cars. But the people who only have one person ((celbrates kinda)) DONT NEED THEM!!!!!! and they should use Bio-desal its so much better for the enviroment I totally agree with you. But you have to remember, and I am in NO WAY trying to offend anyone, that not all of these people know that. They don't have the same opportunities because when they were in school it wasn't a problem so they didn't learn about it. Then you have the people who know and just don't care, the people who just want money, and the people who think today and not 15 years from now when everyone is dead because of the holes there 2mpg hummers put in the ozone layer.

Girl Anachronism Thinking Happy Thoughts Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 509	November 17th, 2007 at 04:10pm Okay, tell me if this is a sign of our civil rights being taken away. ((got this from militaryfreezone.org)) In the USA, under the No Child Left Behind Act, if you attend a high school that receives federal funding your school system is required to turn over your private information to the U.S. military for recruitment purposes! (With the exception of a few private schools, almost every school in the USA receives federal funding.) Your school is NOT required to tell you that they are giving your private information to the military. Federal public law 107-110, section 9528 of the ESEA, "No Child Left Behind Act" requires school districts to release student names, addresses, and phone numbers to military recruiters upon their request. Students are then called at home by recruiters and pressured to join the military. The law also requires the school district to notify you of your right to Opt-Out from this by requesting that the district not release your information to military recruiters. Tell me that isn't twisted and well... really freaky at the same time.
Girl Anachronism Thinking Happy Thoughts Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 509	November 17th, 2007 at 04:19pm Quote XD they are doing something like that now in Illinois (like I said before) Students are forced to observe a moment of silence for prayer after the pledge. Where is our country going. Our school makes us do that also, I don't live in Illinois either. But then again I'm not really surprised, our school made everyone in the high school give them our finger prints for some stupid lunch thing(which they don't even use) ((and I live in the smallest town ever, so it's not like its a safety precaution)) they didn't tell our parents about it or anything, and we're minors. They even made the elementary kids do it also, my niece is a 1st grader and she had to. They only took our pointer finger prints, but I still don't think that's right. They put the files in a database that is very insecure and that even a major idiot could probably hack. ugh

Our current leaders don't give a crap about the enviroment. it sickens me that they are so self-centered and war mongers that they dont give a care that they are destroying our 1 and only world

There is one thing though about this...at some schools you can be taken off the list and your info won't be given to the miltary. But im not sure that all schools have that

Most schools don't tell anyone anything. ((key word: most))

genresR4losers Motor Baby Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 817	November 21st, 2007 at 04:49am the US always claims to have it's citizens in mind when making it's laws and policies. what i want to know is: how does making laws and policies that have to consideration for the health of its citizens helping them? seriously, by not caring about things like gloabal warming, abysmal health care, as well as continually sending our troops overseas to deal in a conflict that should have never been started in the first place being considerate towards its citizens? as i've said before, america may not have fallen as of yet, but it certainly is in dire need of improvement.

And they are taking away our civil rights. I think that the democratic ways are falling towards dictatorship ((maybe not an extreme dictatorship but there have been signs of dictatorship according to a book i read for a class))
