Was the precedent set in British common law, and if so when? I need to know for a homework assignment but I can't seem to find the information from an Internet search.

We live in a culture in which most people wouldn't lift a finger to stop genocide in Darfur, help feed a starving person, or adopt an orphaned child, but will act like rabid dogs for the chance to catch a stupid baseball, biting and kicking and tearing clothes and flesh.

These are the moments when I am not so proud of America. It seems that human nature favors what should be an almost worthless material possession over helping to ease the suffering of mankind.

Forgive the criticism, I am aware it seems like a cheap shot, but mob mentality, selfishness and egocentrism are not the hallmarks of a civilized society. I suppose that since such lowbrow behavior is so prevalent, it would be wrong to assume I might find more evolved behavior on Yahoo Answers. Instead, 90% of the questions and answers out here are insults, snipes, spam postings, double and triple postings, partisan attacks, and otherwise meaningless rhetoric.

A sad state of affairs for the human race.

Here is a new one for everybody. My ex was in Shoal Creek Hospital (mental hospital) & she was there because she had been thinking about killing herself. They told her to get a room mate when she got out & that she shouldn't be by herself. In the meant time, her ex who lives in Kansas and has been there all her life sold the house and moved to Austin & has been here for a months now. My ex called me and wanted to know if I would take her back. We have been apart for 11/2 year now. She said we could go to couple's counseling. We tried that before and she wouldn't put in any effort, so I quit. I still love her, but is she nuts wanting me to take her back when she has moved the ex to Texas from Kansas & they are living together. She says they are just friends. The ex was one of our problems when we were in counseling to begin with. She was always calling the ex behind my back.
I would like to know what everyones feed back is on this?

The Bush regime has claimed it has the authority to suspend Habeas Corpus, and to ignore all 5th and 6th Amendment Constitutional protections (which as phrased apply to all "persons" and anyone "accused), because Guantánamo Bay Naval Base is outside US jurisdiction. Yet it also claims legal authority to enforce American laws within the same jurisdiction.

Can anyone make a solid argument -- based on existing law or even just logic -- that the US should be able to suspend constitutional requirements with regard to detainees-- but somehow still has the authority to enforce its own laws against those detainees?

In other words, how can the US claim to be able to enforce its laws in a place where it says the Constitution doesn't apply?

I would tell you my testimony but you are to stubborn to hear anything not from your idol so let your idol speak truth to you that you might at last find love.

John 15:17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.

John 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.

Romans 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if [there be] any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Romans 13:10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love [is] the fulfilling of the law.

i was raised with a family that each parent had a different religion. i get confused sometimes with those things. my question is

Why should God care if we worship him or not if we are nothing compared to him?isn't he more superior than humans? Why should he care so much if we insignificant humans worship him?

thank you in advance
