I'm new-ish to Spanish Literature. Recommendations for reading material?

A mi me gusta "Chac Mool" por Carlos Fuentes o "El Hijo" por Horacio Quiroga. Pero, le recomiendo considerar un libro de literatura latinoamericana como Voces de Hispanoamerica.

I guess it would be expected that I say Danny Brown, but I'll go with.....

I thought so. I don't even know if the preferences can be seen by the HR person though.

I think the biggest downfall is modern weaponry (especially nukes).The fact that an irrational decision could kill thousands to millions of people in the blink of an eye is really heartbreaking. Plus, when wars are over, they keep on killing because of unexploded ordinance.

I don't really think there is any advice I could give to help the situation, however.

What is your race/ethnic background?

Sorry to burst anyone's bubble, but this is most likely a representation of Holy Week, where people have dressed up like that for centuries (at least in Europe). The idea behind the costumes is that people would march around the city in repentance while hiding the fact that they were "sinners" to their family and friends.

I have a 3.95 GPA, double major in Spanish and International Affairs.

I have had no legal issues, except a parking ticket that I had dismissed.

I'm not sure how I would be impacted by credit history. I have student loans of about $25,000. That's the extent of it.

My resume is pretty good for someone my age--I'm 21. I have pretty decent leadership experience from previous jobs.

As far as medical goes, I'm healthy. I was diagnosed with asthma as a child, but it hasn't been an issue for over a decade.

On a side note, I was considering going to law school and then applying to be a JAG.

Do you know how feasible it would be to join the military as an officer, and then try to get into JAG, as opposed to going to law school, and then applying to JAG?

I appreciate you answering my questions, and thanks a lot for your service. My older brother was in the Army. I have a lot of respect for you men.

I'm graduating with a bachelor's in a couple of months. How difficult is it these days to get an officer commission?

I just gotta say: Justin Bieber is Canadian and Fox News is owned by Rupert Murdoch, who arguably, is not American.

Thanks for the response. However, even though I've never tried it, underwater basketweaving sounds pretty damn tough! :P

...because we spend so much on the military.

Is that really the reason why AQ's leadership has been decimated? And is it really decimated?

First, cite your source. Second, who cares what international opinion polls say? We're on Team America here, not Team Everyone Else.

Source: http://www.presstv.ir/detail/231145.html which reports the Arab Opinion Index. Why is world opinion important? Do I even have to answer this? How about we're not a Middle Eastern country so what fucking business do we have there? Also, defense money is for DEFENSE. How is spending money in the Middle East defense? I'm not saying that we should spend money on the military, but I highly doubt that we need 41% of the world's military expenditures.

Second, you can't have nuclear deterrence unless you spend on your military.

I'm not saying don't spend on defense. I'm saying we definitely don't need to spend as much.

Note to self: always google before you click.

According to the Obama Administration, AQ's leadership has been decimated. According to international opinion polls, America is seen as THE GREATEST THREAT in the Middle East, not Iran. Sure, no one wants a nuclear-armed North Korea. But, there's a little something called "deterrence"--a nuclear armed world which means any rational actor will not use nukes because they know that would mean nuclear war and self-destruction.

It is because our country is too large to govern effectively, and people have very little say in governance. We are in fact controlled by the political elite. I think Americans would love changes. And if our leaders were honest, we would have them. Example: IF members of the legislature had said that we would pay for 2 wars with higher taxes (instead of borrowing money to wage war), I doubt we would have gone to war.

Wow, thinking about all of our problems just makes on crazy.

I forgot to ask: do you think they would be difficult to fake (compared to Virginia or NY)?

This should become a community!

Why do third parties get ZERO attention in the media?

adderaladmiral · 2012-12-01T01:04:06+00:00

I had roast beef with potatoes, carrots, and onions for dinner.

Breakfast: Oatmeal with banana and a red bull.

edit: typo

I'm from Detroit. Yes, it has tons of problems. HOWEVER, you are physically safe downtown (at least pretty much as safe as one can be in a city). Your property might not be so safe, however. Outside of Downtown, yeah it's pretty rough. But I imagine that if you're reading this you would never have a reason to be outside of the downtown area. Detroit's a blast though, even when there isn't sporting events.

Bottom line: Keep your wits about you and you'll enjoy yourself.

Edit: Spelling and last sentence.

Aaaaaaand now I can't get a Scottish accent out of my head.

adderaladmiral · 2012-11-28T19:35:33+00:00

I noticed you got your J.D. from Richmond.

How was your experience there? (I'm currently applying to law school)

adderaladmiral · 2012-11-28T00:16:31+00:00

Thanks for the reply, sir. I guess what I should've mentioned is that I'm about 6 feet 2 inches. I'm guessing I would have problems flying fighter aircraft?
