No it discriminates against people and makes them feel as though they are inadequate even though they aren't. No, because a person could be really built and be too big by the tape test standards. I would take measurement s based on an actual physical test like a series of exercises.

They were definitely traitors, but people don't always think of it that way even if they maybe should. The flag represents a darker time in our country's history. The time was filled with death and often the flag is associated with racism.

The lawsuit is not frivolous they destroyed public property. They should not have done that there was no reason to do that. They were just doing it for fun not for any reasonable purpose.

Yes they hurt another person to the point of which she killed herself it is not acceptable. A misdemeanor is not a true arrest it is more of a warning. A felony is a full criminal charge. Children should be monitored when on the interrnet. The parents should know what their children are doing online.

People were protesting the government shutdown at the WWII memorial. This time they took down the fences and political leaders were speaking and trying to gain support for their cause. This time the political leaders were trying to gain support for themselves when they should just be trying to solve the problem in the senate.

It doesn't need to change it has been there forever. It isn't thought of as something bad it's just a name. I don't think people should find it so offensive.

It doesn't bode well for our national security if something like this could get by. This time it was just a kid, but next time it could be something more dangerous.

It doesn't surprise me much that this sort of thing could happen, but it doesn't make it any better that it happened.
