Haw, Haw, Haw, Ha, Ha, He, He, He, He, He, Snicker, Snicker, Haw, Haw, Haw, You mean you are,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Haw, Haw, He, He, He. I feel sorry for you, my friend. He, He, He, He, Haw, Haw.

People have a Constitutional right to believe any or all sources of information.
The Liberal sources selected seem to be CNN, CNBC, NBS, CBS, ABC and/or PBS. All of which are losing viewers and sending them over to FOX.

FOX, in turn, has thanked all of the mentioned liberal sources for all the new viewers.

At any time on the clock face, FOX has MORE viewers, NOW, than ALL OF THESE NAMED LIBERAL STATIONS PUT TOGETHER.

And what do people think are the reasons for this? Lack of credibility, Truthfulness, Believability, Trust.

Most print media (Newspapers and Magazines) are, also, going bankrupt and some are asking for bailouts or mergers for the same reasons.

If people want to believe their liberal sources, it’s their problem.

For me, these are teachable moments. If people choose not to investigate this on their own, which many seemed to be doing, again, it is their problem.

What do you think? Katzinjammer

That is the best idea you have had in a long time… Helping others is so rewarding for you. Plus you would find the right direction to go in your life… I think you would be so busy with the work and adventure in your life you would miss your family but homesick don’t think so… You just would be adjusting to a new way of life… Its something to be proud of… I would love to but not sure if they would take an older guy… Please let us know what you decide but I would go for it… Reg B

I have a quite a number of friends who have gone into the Peace Corps and they all say that it was a rewarding yet extremely challenging job. I can tell you this, with the Peace Corps, you won’t know what you’re doing or even which region you’re going to until you get your invitation. You can put down a preference but that doesn’t mean that it will be honored. The job that you have to do while you’re there is totally dependent on what needs to be done so there is no guarantee that you will be teaching English. I have a friend who wanted to go to Eastern Europe and they told her almost up until the last minute that she would be going there…she ended up teaching women’s empowerment in Burkina Faso. If you definitely want to teach English abroad, you should look for jobs in that field. There are tons of them out there and most of the ones in Asia (excluding Japan) are quite easy to come by and many don’t require any additional qualifications beyond a bachelors degree. Jaw

Go their website they have all the information there.
its
I think you have to devote a number of years its not a summer thing
and you have to be self supporting somewhat and live in some really
primitive conditions. But a lot of people like it that way.
Homesick is really a mental condition, if you are good at making new friends
and willing to be a good co-worker with the few others there it would be a great adventure. Tapestry6
