I'm not bitter about the elections. Got over that a long time ago. In fact, I wish our Pres. well. I wish him every success because when he succeeds - we share the victories. But, being a little superstitious, I'm beginning to wonder if the poor guy is just a jinx on the planet. What do you think?

Are extremist groups using the national debate over immigration reform, as a means to encourage likeminded racists to speak out, or even commit violent acts against immigrants?

Why is it that under the guise of "health issues" you're justifying and approving of discrimination and persecution against them in many areas? Is it because you can no longer get away with doing so against minorities or gays? Do you realize that by such an attitude a lot of young women are killing themselves because they prefer to be dead than fat?

I think it is despicable, and shame on all of you who have prejudicial views against fat people. Like the rest of you, they're just trying to live their life and they're no less productive in society.

"For the first time, U.S. courts were granted authority to convict any foreigner who commits a war crime against an American, or any American who commits a war crime at all. At the time, nobody could have predicted that a decade later a U.S. administration, with the explicit consent of the president and the attorney general, would be accused of systematic war crimes.

But that is precisely the accusation that President George Bush and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales now face."
...

" 'The highest law enforcement officer in the country [Gonzales] is leading an effort to undercut the rule of law,' said Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., the ranking member of the Judiciary Committee, on the Senate floor last week. 'We cannot credibly ask others to meet standards we are unwilling to meet ourselves.' On Wednesday, the committee is scheduled to discuss the issue of war crimes prosecution."

free. (I said she can live there if she was on the lease and payed a tiny amount of rent a month.($100 and $25 utilities.) They got upset and moved out in the middle of the lease. Now the apartment complex has attached my wages and he is getting off scotch free.I was told that only one persons wages can be attached at a time and I am so poor right now. They want to take $300 a month from me for a year. I have social anxiety so court freaks me out. I was thinking of wirting a letter to the judge requesting that the bill be split in half because I can't afford a lawyer. Any ideas will be appreciated I am so stressed and confused right now.

the memo on the check that I write I always put what it is for (example: May child support and insurance). When I recieved my bank statement this month I noticed that my ex-wife had marked through what I had written on the memo and in place of it she wrote applied towards something else that had nothing to do with child support. Is it illegal to alter a check in that manner? what should I do?

Here in Utah you're not allowed to even wear a T-shirt that might be offensive to mormons anywhere near their properties. Every bill has to be reviewed by the "brethren" in the big white tower and they have absolute veto power as 90% of elected officials are mormon.

Also, is there anywhere in my Q&A where I say I'm racist? This is an exact quote of an answer from "Jim Morrison" (who WAS one of my favorite singers, but now I don't know if I can stand him anymore):
"You sound like a parrot without any lines. All you just did was repeat what everyone knows the Republicans say everyday on these pages. There are several examples on politics right now, and I am sure I could go to your page, and find hundreds of examples of your Democrat hatred. I'm sure I could find hatred over slavery and the African American ethnic issue do you want me to post up your pages for you so you can remember?"

I'm leaving this open for everyone. I want exact quotes of MINE not anyone else's, and I would prefer for them to be taken in context.

The criminal justice system in Davidson County failed the late Sean and Donna Wilson. It was a systematic failure, from top to bottom, that cost two innocent Tennesseans their lives.

The Mt. Juliet couple was killed after being struck by an SUV driven by illegal immigrant Gustavo Reyes Garcia on June 8. Court records and accounts from regular Nashvillians demonstrate Garcia should have been taken off the road long before his fateful encounter with the Wilsons.

In an article in our edition today, we document 17 arrests in the last nine years including multiple DUI charges, numerous incidents of driving on a revoked license and even assaulting a police officer.

Perhaps to no one’s shock, Garcia had also been arrested for more than one automobile accident where he struck another vehicle causing injury. In at least one case he fled the scene.

Altogether, Garcia spent less than 170 days in jail during those nine years. It is not a fact that can be placed at the feet of any one department or player in the criminal justice system. Instead, they all own part of the blame – from Metro Police all the way to the Tennessee General Assembly.

Metro Police maintain they simply arrest the bad guys and others in the system decide the offenders’ fate. That is not entirely true. In one key case against Garcia, charges of assaulting an officer were dismissed because police did not show up to a hearing for Garcia.

District Attorney Torry Johnson’s office insists it can only prosecute offenders to the extent the law allows. Yet, time and time again assistant district attorneys allowed deals for Garcia to go free despite what would appear to any average citizen to be a pattern of chronic lawlessness and disregard for the safety of Nashville citizens.

Of course, most of Garcia’s sentences were suspended by general sessions court judges to time already served after his arrests on each incident – a tactic that simply returned him to the street to offend again.

The questions then turn to the system itself. Is it the fault of Metro government for not providing jail cells for the likes of Garcia? Is it the fault of the Tennessee General Assembly for not providing tougher laws? Are generations of Washington D.C. politicians to blame having allowed illegal immigration to become a problem of epic proportions?

The death of the Wilsons and the case of Gustavo Reyes Garcia exposes everything that is wrong with our government, from the halls of power in Washington D.C. to the committee rooms of the Tennessee General Assembly to the streets of Nashville.

The Wilson family, Tennesseans and the American people deserve better.

Because of their cruelty in bludgeoning to death some 50,000 dogs. Pulling pets away from their owners, making noise in neighborhoods to find get them to bark then killing them. It is supposed to be to keep their rabies problem under control but the problem is so minor and there are so many better ways to solve it.

Is the government of Israel or the US censoring certain Jews? Read the statements of Rabbi's who are against the war in Lebenon. Why aren't we hearing this in the media?
Of course, voices may be heard that the IDF are simply responding. This, of course, ignores the question of the evil, implicit in punishing blameless people for the deeds of others. And it totally ignores the root of the problem, the dispossession and subjugation of the Palestinian people which began in 1948, was expanded in 1967 and continues unabated to this day. The crux of the matter is that beyond the immorality of the Zionist treatment of the Palestinians is the ultimate fact -- the ideology of Zionism and ensuing establishment of the Zionist state conflicts with the basic teachings of Judaism.

The irony is that now a lot of Arab nations are far tougher on Islamic radical terrorists, the new sources of international terrorism, than the Europeans.

Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and others fear the radical Islamist forces that Iran is unleashing. They don't want terrorists imposing Sharia law in Arab countries.

Most people in Lebanon feel this way, too, and as much as they dislike Israeli bombings, are probably even more horrified with the impending sell-out of having a ceasefire administered by the world's leading terrorists.

Yet, France's foreign minister praised Iran as playing a "stabilizing role in the region".

Now most European leaders want to bring Syria, Hizballah's supervisor, back into power over Lebanon.

They don't desecrate them (unlike other societies), as a matter of fact they work to preserve them. The Dome of the Rock is a beautiful building to behold. I've seen it in person (wasn't allowed in) but from the outside its beautiful. I would hope that when people criticize Israel they think about these types of things too.
