pacodecabra I think that treatment for AIDS will continue to improve, and people with HIV will be able to live longer without actually developing AIDS. But just as we have searched for decades for a cure for cancer with no success, I'm afraid a cure for AIDS is probably...

pacodecabra Che was a man ahead of his time. He cared about Argentina, but he saw that Argentina could only prosper if the oppression that existed in the rest of South America (and Cuba) was overcome.

What makes people WANT to join the military?

hockeygal4ever @hockeygal4ever (10021) • United States 9 Feb 07

Have you ever wondered why some people are so very quick to join the military and serve their country while others are simply not interested at all? I've often wondered. I'm so proud of my dad, a Navy man, who takes such pride...

pacodecabra I think people joined for any number of reasons. Some need the GI Bill to pay for college, some do it to get out of a bad situation (in my platton at Basic Training we had several ex-gang members from LA trying to escape that situation). I joined during Desert...

pacodecabra Howard definitely deserved it, and should have been chosen by the coaches originally. I would like to see Jason Terry replace Iverson, but I don't think the Comish will do it.

I've read the Da Vinci Code before, about a year ago, but I've been re-reading it recently and I actually found it quite disturbing. I'm just wondering if anyone of you feels the same way. Although it is stated that this book is a...

pacodecabra I am disturbed by the fact that such a poorly written book with so many historical inaccuracies has been accepted as fact by so many people. And the more people condemn it, the more money Dan Brown makes.

How did you handle peer pressure,in, as far as smoking, drinking and drugs?

pacodecabra I never did drugs, and amazingly none of my peers did either, or at least none of my friends. I didn't start drinking until after high school because my parents had always told me if I wanted a drink, I could have one at home. This took some of the "coolness"...
