    Why do people believe that just because you are in the military you are a "machine"?

    For example you turn into an emotionless person who becomes a danger to your family, society, and yourself. There are people who are against today's military that believe that when you are in the military you become a "paid killer for politicians" (I don't know if these allegations are directed...

    What is the ratio of minorities to Caucasians that play vital roles in the government

    I was having a debate and my dad was telling me that in America there is no such thing as "equality" per se and the reason behind this is due to the fact that minorities can only go so far in this country. Sure they can be treated 'equally'--they would have a nice car, a great job that pays...
