Hi.fellow Boatie or anyone/
I know that maritime law forbids flying the skull & crossbones making it a pirate vessel in international waters, but at what penalty now we are out of old Elizabethan times.
The flags are available at chandlers for use as a bit of fun, and I stick one up when mooring on the inland waterways, along with the fake miniature cannon on the roof.
Surely the authourities will see the funny side, and not lock me in the brig I hope.
I also sometimes fly the red ensign, to show that I am freindly, which I am, but so did Sir Walter when acting as a licensed pirate for the crown.
I have a purple one with a potatoe emblem in the corner, for no particular reason.
What do you reckon ?

Ok, since everyone is complaining that women shoud be paid less in Grand Slam Tennis tournamnets, because they play less sets, why don't tehy just make the men play the same as women in the nimber of sets. So make men's matches a best out of 3 sets just like womens, and don't give me any crap that is to little for men to play, because they pllay like that in regular tournaments.

Koch Foods in Fairfield, Ohio, was raided by about 300 agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Fairfield police and Butler County Sheriff's deputies, they surrounded the building just after 9am and by 11:45am, 160 people out of 180 that were questioned were handcuffed and arrested.



Butler County, Ohio, Sheriff's Department spokesman Sgt. Monte Mayer said hundreds of federal agents, sheriff's deputies and other local law-enforcement officers joined forces in a raid at Koch Foods in Fairfield, Ohio, in what he called "the latest crackdown on illegal aliens and the businesses who employ them."

As of early afternoon, Sgt. Mayer said more than 160 people had been arrested on immigration violations.



Immigration spokesman Richard Rocha said the operation was the end result of a two-year investigation.

"I've been saying for 2½ years we're coming," said Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones during a news conference Tuesday afternoon. "Don't have illegals. Don't violate the law. I personally have no sympathy for you whatsoever."


Cracking down on employers is one of the most important aspects of controlling the border because those employers and one of the major reasons people cross the border illegally.

I met this Christian girl who seemed so self-righteous and she asked me (as a Muslim) if I thought I was a good person. I told her only God knows, that I try hard and know in my heart that even if I'm not a great person Islam is good for me.

Then, she said I'm spared from the Kingdom of God and when I said omg on accident she said I had sinned and used God's name in vain.

I told her that God forgives people, but she said God is just and won't forgive people (even with repentance, unless through Jesus) becuz that'd be like a judge letting a guilty man free.
I had to go so I gave her my email and thanked her for the convo. But I found it a bit rude. I'm not saying all Christians do this but don't you think that there are better ways to go about spreading 'God's word?' than damning me to hell?

Most people are not going on P&S who were here 2 months ago, they are going over to Family section and others.

Do you suppose that's because of all the VN's and thumb downs and freaks on this section...that's it I'm packing up and heading south!

Some would think that the answer to this question is obvious. But to me it's not, cause if you meet this person in the flesh and they have misrepresented themselves, the other person is subject to running and screaming in the opposite direction. I know, cause it's happened to me before.

Whether it's a false picture on a profile, chat room photo space, MySpace, or someone sends you a picture of what they looked like 20 years ago, this practice is ridiculous and just wastes time.

When a Republican does something stupid he is immediately asked to step down by Republican leadership.

Not so for the Democrats. Williams Jefferson still serves. Why haven't the Dems asked him to step down?

So which party has a culture of corruption?

my bff's husband may not be the biological father of her child and he is aware of it. he married her when she was pregnant, put his name on the birth certificate and gave the child his last name. he agreed to raise the child as his own and has done so since birth. he has never asked her for a paternity test.

my bff caught him cheating and is now divorcing him, he now says he will ask for a paternity test and not pay any support if the child is not his, even after he has raised the child from birth. what will the court do? will they do a paternity test? and if it happens the child is not his isn't there somekind of law that will make him pay for the child since he has claimed it as his from birth and supported both the mother and child? also will he get visitation if the child is not his?

i think he should pay, it is the same as someone adopting a child just without the paperwork. people who adopt have to pay child support.
