Answer by Mamarama
Are you missing something here? Do you mean a National Security Agent?? I’m pretty sure you need to undergo a medical exam and the pregnancy would become clear at that point – but maybe they don’t do blood work. Do they outline what the first year of training is like? Have you thought about what that might be like while pregnant? And how about a year from now when you have a newborn? Will you get a proper maternity leave or still be in training? You have to do your homework and find out, from their website perhaps, exactly what is expected of you and whether or not it makes sense to delay the whole thing.

City Ajdabiya be bombed by warplanes 28/02/2011 DO YOU APPRECIATE THE UPLOAD VIDEO FROM LIBYA?! THUMBS UP THE VIDEO! As they said in Egypt. Once the fear is overcome, you become an unstoppable force for democracy. We have religious leaders in America. On Tv, In Church, Not dictating to us. Good luck. America exists because of a revolution against tyranny. One citizen one vote. No taxation without representation. America was founded on the basis of freedom. Freedom of religion, right to assemble, right to bare arms. As a great american said “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

Someone already sent me these three quotes from Jefferson

“Most bad government has grown out of too much government”.-Thomas Jefferson

Anything more quotes like this with a source would be greatly appreciated, I would like to memorize these, thanks

“Remember, democracy never lasts long.

“No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can
any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and Virtue is
preserved. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant,
and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own
weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders.”
Samuel Adams

How strangely will the Tools of a Tyrant pervert the plain Meaning of Words!
Samuel Adams

Men’s rights activists – A noble pursuit? (men responses only please)?

First – I find it strange that a discussion forum such as this highlights Gender issues ( pertaining to the sexes) while also highlighting Women’s issues (pertaining to the female)?!, I won’t bore you with my views on this obvious gaffe, but wanted to highlight it as a point of amusement.

My post is about the philosophy of equality and in particular the effect Second-wave feminism has had. I’ve perused some of the threads here and have noticed that several men have started to vocalize their concern regarding the lack of attention being brought to the issue of men’s rights. We know Feminists by design are interested in their own rights and freedoms, the logical extrapolation from this is that they aren’t nearly as concerned with your rights as men, which by default promotes confrontation and contention amongst the sexes.

Is society big enough for both gender equality groups? Is this a kin to Right to Life vs. Free choice as far as conention and confrontation?
I apologize that the question might not be that clear, I ran out of room and didn’t have time to properly hash it together.

Can someone please help me with my essay on conservatism vs liberalism?

So after I wrote my intro and a little history on the the two ideologies, I need to write a paragraph about how liberalism and conservatism connect to the Republican and Democratic parties. I also have to write about the definitions of the two ideologies, and their beliefs on issues such as abortion etc….now for my question, can anyone please help me how I should arrange this? I wrote it out, but the paragraphs would be too long if I put it together and its confusing for me to organize it.

My second question, how exactly does liberalism and conservatism connect to the Republican and Democratic parties? help please!!! I would really appreciate it…here are my paragraphs in the essay so far:

Liberalism emphasizes individual rights and equality of opportunity, relative to any constraints imposed by the states. Different forms of liberalism may propose very different policies, but they are generally united by their support for a liberal democracy, where all citizens have equal rights by law. There are two major streams of thought which compete over the use of the term liberal, which are classical liberalism and social liberalism. Classical liberals place the highest value on individual freedom and believe the role of government should be limited. They see state intervention in the economy as a restriction on the economic freedom of individuals. Social liberals want the government to play an active role in promoting the freedom of citizens. They favor the right to healthcare, an education and a minimum wage. Some also favor laws against pollution, provision of welfare, and discrimination in housing and employment. The Democratic Party is home to an ideologically diverse base, with liberals forming the largest and most influential demographic within the party. Conservatism is a belief in the virtue of preserving traditional values, where tradition refers to various religious, cultural, or nationally defined beliefs and customs. The Republican Party supports a conservative ideology with further establishment in social conservatism and supply-side fiscal policies, which argues that economic growth, can be most effectively created by adjusting the income tax and capital gains tax rates.

Democrats and Republicans have opposing opinions on many different issues such as abortion, taxes, affirmative action, and the environment. When dealing with the issue of abortion, Democrats believe it is the advocate’s choice. Republicans support a human life amendment to the constitution that would outlaw abortion, without exceptions. (THEN WRITE ABOUT MORE ISSUES)

someone please help!! THANKS!
