So you're saying that everyone should just have to meet certain qualifications? That's what i was saying...and thank you for serving :) I have alot of friends in the military and I know how important you guys are.I guess that was more of a comment than an argument...but...

Heck yeah, come on, insecurity is no fun whatsoever, bikinis are awesome ;)

Plenty of women want to be in a military position, and plenty are qualified to do so. The idea of wanting "strength" in the military can be supported by militaries, as was said earlier, having equal entrance requirements for both sexes. I know some guys that I would be horrified to see in the military, because they wouldn't be able to work in a restrictive atmosphere such as the Army, and i know some women that i feel the same way about. The point isn't sexes, the point is physical and mental commitment to the service. Oh, and just because you would RATHER see women in a nice outfit holding a bottle of wine, doesn't mean you can make that choice. Some women like camo pants and AK 47's. Just like some men would rather wear dresses ;)

i completely agree that companies who outsource should have to pay higher taxes, it only makes sense. I mean that's the whole reason tariffs were created, to protect the home country's economy, and it should stay that way.

Honestly, noone has mentioned that America is now completely dependant on other countries and that if say...China went down, our economy would crash to the point of no return because the United States has ceased to be a mercantilistic country. What America needs is to create reasonable wages for workers and pricing on products made in OUR country and bring back tariffs that make what America sells more reasonable for Americans to buy. Doing this, bringing work back to our nation would bring us out from under the thumb of foreign countries, and back to being the greatest nation on earth. In the 18 and 1900's America went with a mercantilistic economy, and we were home to some of the wealthiest men ever. While that time period may have been basically corrupt with monopolies, and awful for the lower classes, we now have the laws to stop monopolies and unfair working conditions, so that those systems can work properly and for the well being of America as a whole. If business came back to America we could stop outsourcing and start exporting, which is exactly what America needs to do.
