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.

Do Egyptians really believe in human rights and freedom of religion?

Question by Saudi Hotgirl: Do Egyptians really believe in human rights and freedom of religion?
http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/010115.php
This poll shows that over 2/3 of the population supports Sharia law.
Sharia law is backward law which violates, Human rights, women rights, freedom of religion and freedom of expression.
So do Egyptians in generally really supports Freedom of religion or they are similar to the Wahhabis?

Best answer:

Answer by Stratomanssy
Yes, Egyptians believe in human rights, and yes, they support Sharia Law, simply because Sharia Law itself supports human rights!
Islam is often misunderstood, even more so by Saudi women, because Saudi Arabia, and not Islam, mistreats women and takes away their rights. What in Islam says that a woman can’t drive??? Nothing!

I believe in human rights, and I’m a very proud Egyptian Muslim, and I wouldn’t wish to have it any other way.

Is Mubarak’s downfall really the end of Egypt’s feared State Security?

EGYPT – It’s two months since Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak was ousted, after 29 years in power and more demonstrators are in Tahrir Square, this time calling for his prosecution. As he left office, protesters discovered files detailing how the Egyptian state security police – a hated symbol of Mubarak’s regime – used torture and informers to beat down any opposition to the former leader.

Louis Farrakhan prophesied an uprising in Feb 2011. Other black and union leaders have followed his lead in the Occupy Wall Street / Occupy America protests. All of these people are working together with Obama towards the same goal, fundamental change in America, the overthrow of the system. That is, its destruction as we have known it, as prophesied by Black Nationalism and Black Liberation Theology. The law was changed in 2007 to allow the President to take control of the National Guard without the consent of the states. See link below. www.stateline.org It is important for people to realize that Obama will be complicit in any unrest that occurs as a result of these “Occupy America” protests. His cohorts are inciting them. Blog: stopobamanowsd.wordpress.com Impeach Obama Tea Party: www.facebook.com

What Constitutes True Wealth? – What to Really Value and Prioritize

In America as well as many other industrialized countries throughout the world, wealth has unfortunately come to be known, for the most part, in a financial sense. This, however, is a great shame because money in actuality is the least meaningful and significant aspect of wealth. There are so many things that are so much more valuable and that provide a much richer understanding of what wealth really is.

For the remainder of this article, I will discuss some of the things I believe constitute true wealth, and suggest some ways to achieve the wealth found in these sources.

Time

Time is perhaps the most significant aspect of wealth. People who have been alive for a long time can attest to this. Their virtually unanimous consensus is that their greatest experiences, highest-quality moments spent with friends and family, and most memorable instances of their lives all far outweigh any amount of money or material possessions they could have ever accumulated.

Yet, looking at the way time is spent in popular culture indicates that this view is not commonly held or understood. When spending overtime and late nights at the office take priority over being home on time to kiss a son or daughter goodnight, it can only be assumed that spending time working to earn money is viewed as more valuable than spending time with one’s children. No matter how hard someone argues that they are doing it for their children, the fact remains unchanged that they are settling for valuing work time over family time.

Further, when people, especially children, prefer to spend their time playing video games, seeing the latest movie releases, or spending time forming superficial and meaningless relationships with people over social networks like Facebook and MySpace, it indicates what sort of value they place on their time.

People

This ties in closely with the value and wealth found in people, since the most valuable way one can spend time is with other people. When you walk outside on a sunny Saturday morning and find no children playing together outside because they’re all indoors, glued to their television sets, it indicates that they have placed a higher value on these activities than with spending time with other kids.

This, of course, is because people are an absolutely incredible source of wealth, and time spent with other people is worth more than gold. Every minute a child spends indoors playing a video game rather than interacting with other children is a minute of potential wealth experience that they have missed out on.

]]>

Of course, that’s not to say that activities done alone are not valuable and full of wealth as well. For example, reading an educational book and even just meditating are incredible sources of true, meaningful wealth, as we will see later. However, any nonproductive moment spent alone rather than engaging in the prosperity of other people is a moment of potential wealth gain lost.

Other People’s Resources and Abilities

There are several reasons people are such incredible sources of wealth. Perhaps the most obvious is that every person alive is a unique, special, and fascinating being who is worth getting to know. There is so much value that’s so often overlooked in simply getting to know people just to learn what makes them who they are.

There’s more, though. Each and every person has amazing resources and abilities to contribute to society and to other people, and these abilities and resources are unique to different people. We would never be capable of doing the incredible things that we do as a society as individuals. For example, let’s take the construction and operation of a hospital. I feel it’s very safe to say that there is no individual who could build a modern-day hospital without other people. Let’s say that individual happens to be an architect, and designs an absolutely incredible blueprint of our imaginary hospital-to-be. This is absolutely great! However, that architect will have a very difficult time wiring up the hospital’s network, configuring its servers, and getting its patient databases rolling so that patients can be checked in and out. But, just to be fair, let’s say they’re also a builder, and IT specialist, and just an all-around do-it-yourselfer, and manage to build the whole hospital and get its computer system up and running as well. Whew! Now our only problem is the guy who just got wheeled in because he’s having a stroke.

The alternate picture, of course, would be that our architect understood the value of other people. He or she partnered with builders, doctors, IT professionals, and a bunch of people all with unique abilities and skill sets.

At this point, there should be no question in your mind regarding which hospital you would rather visit, because you see the incredible wealth found in people working together.

There is incredible power in knowing people with a ranging set of skills and abilities. When needs arise, it is very powerful to know someone trustworthy and knowledgeable who can meet those needs properly. Ironically, it can also save you money. That’s why other people are an incredible source of wealth. So form networks, get to know as many people as you can, and unleash the wealth of other people.

Life Experience

Life experience is an extremely valuable asset, as it shapes how a person reacts and makes decisions in the future. Essentially, it is a form of knowledge based on how things work or have worked in the past. And, of course, knowing that certain situations and factors result in certain things allows people to predict outcomes and therefore determines how they deal with future situations.

Of course, life experience can also be shared between other people you know, thus demonstrating even further the wealth found in other people. It also enables people to mentor others and help them make better decisions.

Knowledge in General

In general, the more you know (and the more your network of people know), the more equipped you are for life. Every fact you can learn has some sort of benefit somewhere. In that case, never stop learning. Seek to understand as much as you can, and never stop pushing your mind to its limits. It will always pay out in the end, even if you never end up on Jeopardy.

Personal Time

Lastly, there is incredible value in personal “alone” time. This is one of the sources of wealth that is ignored the most. Spending personal time gives the mind a chance to process all of the things being run through it, such as pending decisions, past events, and unchecked emotions. It often leaves people refreshed, energized, and more capable of facing everything that’s going on in their lives.

Hopefully this list has helped provoke some thoughts about what you believe constitutes wealth and what your highest values are. It’s only after we really understand what wealth really is that we are able to be truly wealthy. And, it’s not really possible to feel wealthy unless you know what that really means. So, here’s wishing that these past few thoughts will help you to feel a bit richer with every new day.

What Really Constitutes a Good Leader?

The Constitution
by mbrand

What Really Constitutes a Good Leader? We would rather not get into what some Leaders do as that leans more towards negative writings and we do our best to keep from doing that.

Various questions have been asked of Leaders within large corporations, and also within large multi-level programs and leader with the best teams all say the same things.  One of the most popular characteristics of a good leader is their ability to practice what they preach. We remember the quote, “Your actions speak much louder than your words.” The greatest leader of all time was Jesus Christ and he was the epitome of practicing what he preached. In fact, do you remember the proverb which says, “Live by the sword, die by the sword.” This is true with good leadership and how much your leader abides by what they say. So we ask you “how can you expect people do what you say, if you don’t even do what you say”?

A good leader cherishes and is extremely grateful for those who follow. They do this by always doing what they can to train and protect them from harm or criticism, and they are always within reach for their followers. People want security, which is why they buy put money in their 401k, and stay at the same dead end job for years. The former President FDR once said “One can attain a high degree of security in a prison cell if that’s all he wants out of life.”  It’s ingrained into our nervous system to want to feel secure. When leading a team it can be very powerful when they know that you are reachable and ready to help them along the pathway.  Good leaders always speak increase into their tribe and will do whatever they can to make sure they understand their importance. A big part of being a good leader is to know how to instill in their tribe members a feeling greatness about themselves and how important they are.

If you can find a good leader we can guarantee you they had or still have a very good leader because a good leader develops other good leaders. How can you expect to develop other good leaders, if you are not one first? Most of this just boils down to taking the time to spend time with the members of your tribe you want to develop and cultivate, and by being a good mentor to them, you can educate and coach them through their trials and tribulations as they move towards their individual successes. Sometimes just being there to help them get back up after they have fallen is all some needs. One of the best ways as a “Fisher of Men” is by investing it in the relationships of others around you.
The making of a good leader is tremendously broad, but we hope we’ve narrowed it down into some strategies for you to follow when you’re looking for a good leader. If you practice what you preach, look after the others around you, and invest time to develop your tribe members we believe you will indeed know What Really Constitutes a Good Leader.

Are Sobriety Checkpoints Really Constitutional?

“I rather doubt that the Framers of the Fourth Amendment would have considered “reasonable” a program of indiscriminate stops of individuals not suspected of wrongdoing.” Said Justice Clarence Thomas in his dissention for Michigan Dept. of State Police v. Sitz.  The case debated the dispute of whether or not sobriety checkpoints are legal or a violation of Fourth Amendment rights.  According to this amendment citizens are protected “against unreasonable searches and seizures…[without] probable cause.”  So it seems the Constitution prohibits people from being stopped without a search warrant or at least without probable cause that they have committed a crime.

The Supreme Court decided that sobriety roadblocks are an exception to the rule in a vote of 6-3 in 1990.  According to Justice Rehnquist “the state interest in reducing drunk driving outweighed this minor infringement.”  However the Court placed several stipulations on sobriety checkpoints including a neutral formula for selecting which vehicles to stop (i.e. every other car), clear warning lights and signs, limitations on the time and length of a checkpoint to limit the length of motorist detention and maximize effectiveness, and advance notice to promote the deterrent effect of checkpoints.  In spite of these restrictions on sobriety checkpoints, there are still eleven states that prohibit them altogether.

Recently there was an article in the Washington Post that described how a local citizen, Lisa Davis was stopped at a checkpoint in the District of Columbia.  She was obeying every law and was not intoxicated when stopped, but the law enforcement official asked her personal information for a federal database used for racial profiling studies, crime-solving, and traffic stops.  “I’ve got some serious constitutional issues with that.  I feel like it’s a violation of my rights. It’s a slippery slope to Big Brother,” said Davis.

Justice Stevens noted in his dissension that “the findings of the trial court, based on an extensive record and affirmed by the Michigan Court of Appeals, indicate that the net effect of sobriety checkpoints on traffic safety is infinitesimal and possibly negative.”  According to the American Beverage Institute, “An analysis of the NHTSA [National Highway Traffic Safety Administration] numbers shows: Every one of the 11 non-roadblock states saw a decline in alcohol-related fatalities, while almost half of roadblock states saw an increase in alcohol-related fatalities.”

New Book Asks: Do Christians Really Believe in Jesus or Just in The Ten Commandments?



Front Cover


Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) October 4, 2007

According to mainstream Christian teachings mankind does not have to observe The Ten Commandments because Jesus has already fulfilled them. Author Truoc Duong challenges this assumption in his new book titled The Ten Commandments Are for God’s Beloved Children!.

“Does being Christian really mean that once a person believes in Jesus he or she is free to worship other gods, to bow down to idols or to use God’s name in vain or to commit other biblical sins?” Duong asks. “Do Christians really think this, or like to do those things? And, if not, does that mean they are really believers in just The Ten Commandments?”

The author says that all these contradictions and confusions prompted him to write ‘The Ten Commandments Are for God’s Beloved Children!,’ which does not promote organized religion. To the contrary, it points out that The Ten Commandments are violated and misrepresented by many religions. It also points out that The Ten Commandments are not a burden to mankind as most religions make them out to be. Rather, they are the key that releases mankind from the land of religious slavery, to give mankind a total freedom that God has intended since the days of Creation. God never told Adam and Eve to worship God or anybody or anything, and that God never promises an everlasting life in heaven for a good person or an everlasting damnation in hell for a bad one, Duong states.

To back these assertions, he presents the full text of the Ten Commandments of God in his book as they are recorded in the Bible books of Exodus and Deuteronomy — and each commandment is also discussed in great detail. The book also provides a rich, detailed history of the Ten Commandments. It does not promote organized religion, he adds. To the contrary, it points out how the Ten Commandments are misrepresented or violated by many religious institutions.

“The Ten Commandments are not just for religious people, but for everybody because keeping God’s Commandments is a duty of every human being,” Duong says.

At the end of the book he concludes The Ten Commandments are the greatest lessons of love that God has given to mankind to teach them how to live with true and honest love with God and with each other, with all human brothers and sisters, and with all creatures big and small. If all mankind lived by The Ten Commandments, there would be no war. Mankind would no longer hate or fear each other, and animals would no longer fear humans, and all creatures would enjoy full freedom, happiness and peace. The earth would become the heavenly paradise God intended it to be.

Conservative vs Liberal vs Moderate, read carefully which are you really?

Question by Stanley: Conservative vs Liberal vs Moderate, read carefully which are you really?
Who ever here that said “CONSERVATIVE POLICIES THAT MADE THIS COUNTRY GREAT!” is speaking Hog wash! By the definition the conservative would first off never have left his european country for religious freedom, a true conservative would never had broke from the colonial power in which was controlling the colony. A conservative would never had wanted the average citizen the right to bare arms and allow them freedom of speech or a democracy. a True conservative by definition would never have wanted such “progressive changes”.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/conservatism
Main Entry: con·ser·va·tism
Pronunciation: \kən-ˈsər-və-ˌti-zəm\
Function: noun
Date: 1832
1 capitalized a : the principles and policies of a Conservative party b : the Conservative party
2 a : disposition in politics to preserve what is established b : a political philosophy based on tradition and social stability, stressing established institutions, and preferring gradual development to abrupt change; specifically : such a philosophy calling for lower taxes, limited government regulation of business and investing, a strong national defense, and individual financial responsibility for personal needs (as retirement income or health-care coverage)
3 : the tendency to prefer an existing or traditional situation to change

The Liberal is what made it great.

Religious freedom: Liberal
Right to bare arms: Liberal
Freedom of Speech: Liberal

Main Entry: lib·er·al·ism
Pronunciation: \ˈli-b(ə-)rə-ˌli-zəm\
Function: noun

2 a often capitalized : a movement in modern Protestantism emphasizing intellectual liberty and the spiritual and ethical content of Christianity b : a theory in economics emphasizing individual freedom from restraint and usually based on free competition, the self-regulating market, and the gold standard c : a political philosophy based on belief in progress, the essential goodness of the human race, and the autonomy of the individual and standing for the protection of political and civil liberties; specifically : such a philosophy that considers government as a crucial instrument for amelioration of social inequities (as those involving race, gender, or class) d capitalized : the principles and policies of a Liberal party

The bottom line is that if it was left up to conservatives we would still be a colony that was only allowed to worship one religion and would have to awnser to the king or queen. It was the Liberals that broke us away from that.

4 : limited in scope or effect

6 of a color : of medium lightness and medium chroma
oh and demecracy….Liberal
This is interesting indeed. However todays conservative is not yesterdays classic liberal. only in part. Todays conservative is still conservative, and adhears to the definition of conservatism.
However I see that both todays “modern conservative and modern liberal, both came from classic liberalism. Yet the conservatives adopted conservative ideals such as fear of change, and Liberals adopted a more social aspect. Amazing how simular they are, considering the social liberal is considered more cenrtral

Did Shirley Sherrod really overcome her racism?

Did anyone hear ALL of her speech? Has anyone heard her husband’s racist words?

Check it out:

But what about the rest of Shirley Sherrod’s NAACP speech?

She made this observation about those who opposed ObamaCare: “I haven’t seen such mean-spirited people as I’ve seen lately over this issue of health care. Some of the racism we thought was buried. Didn’t it surface? (Audience responds approvingly.) Now, we endured eight years of the Bushes, and we didn’t do the stuff these Republicans are doing because you have a black president.”

So the self-proclaimed colorblind woman attributes legitimate opposition to the government takeover of health care … to racism.

And what motivated Breitbart to post the out-of-context excerpt? Was Breitbart erroneously, but in good faith, using it to hold the NAACP to the same standard the organization asks of the Tea Party? Not according to Sherrod. She told CNN: “I know I’ve gotten past black vs. white. He’s probably the person who’s never gotten past it and never attempted to get past it. … I think he would like to get us stuck back in the times of slavery. That’s where I think he’d like to see all black people end up again. … I think that’s why he’s so vicious against a black president, you know. He would go after me. I don’t think it was even the NAACP he was totally after. I think he was after a black president.”

This from someone who’s “gotten past black vs. white”?

Her husband, the Rev. Sherrod, spoke this year at the University of Virginia School of Law. In the half-hour excerpt posted on YouTube, he talks about the evolution of the black struggle for freedom and equality and about his personal experiences with prejudice and brutality. He said he found inspiration from the Rev. Martin Luther King’s vision of a society that judges people by the content of their character. But the Rev. Sherrod later said: “Finally, we must stop the white man and his Uncle Toms from stealing our elections. We must not be afraid to vote black, and we must not be afraid to turn a black out who votes against our interests.” He provided no example, explanation or elaboration.

Breitbart erred in not viewing the entire NAACP speech. But neither this nor the past racist experiences of Shirley and Charles Sherrod justify giving them a pass for their own racist comments.
