Be honest! I'm curious as to if anyone ever lied under oath in court and got away with it((never got caught))(whether the lie was small or big) especially victims.

If you're just gonna answer something like "you shouldn't lie under oath" then don't respond because this question is about has anyone ever lied under oath, not a question of whether you should or not. Which obviously you shouldn't.

What are the benefits Americans could be assured of in the sacrifices of American lives in Iraq. Americans have been playing non appreciative roles as "Policeman" and "Peacekeepers" for too long.....what should we do?

So my idiot brother ( drunk, doper, loser, I am soooo fed up with him!!!), here's what he tells me happened:

He came home, driving in his neighborhood, late at night. Doesn't "recall" any troubles. He denies drinking, I bet I don't believe him, but that's not the point. Continues: next day the police show up at his place, asking to see his car. Low and behold, his car is all smashed up, with red paint on it. Apparently, witnesses saw him crash into a red truck, doing serious damage. Actually got the two vehicles stuck together, and revved and revved until he got loose.
Idiot. So he got a ticket for "hit and run",with a scheduled court date.

So, what he came to big sis with, is this. Should he get a lawyer (can't afford it, and would be hitting me up for the $$$). ?? Also, is worried if he's likely to get his liscense revoked or suspended??? I don't have any idea, but it sounds likely to me.

Any experience or opinion?? And should I get him an atty, or not necessary?

Fortunately most people saw how stupid it is :-)))

But are there people who still believe in the philosophy of the Victorian plonker Malthus, (that the poor shouldn't breed)?

Is Ann Coulter a skank because she isn't getting any, or is she not getting any because she's a skank?

I mean, let's face it. That pie was the closest she's gotten to any thick white fluid in a LONG time.

I have an awful conflict. I work in auto-salvage/recycling. Some refer to my place of business as an auto "grave-yard", "bone-yard - a "junk yard" - but it is a more vital business than most realize - to the economy, and to our environment. I love my job. I've only been there for about 3 months. However, there are violations occuring on a daily basis - by health/safety and environmental standards. Every day, motor oil, antifreeze, gear-oils, transmission, brake, & power-steering fluids, among other toxins, are spilled. I am not speaking of "drips" or "leaks". There are literally gallons of "haz-mats" being spilled. The proper, and full, draining and containment that is supposed to occur - is not occuring. Attempts are made, to "clean-up", but I am sure it is not enough. I have been doused several times. 2 days have not passed (I don't recall 1 day) that I have not been cut - bled - most usually on the hands/arms - yesterday a co-worker got 10 stitches. Can I anonymously report this?

Seems to me that a high gas price would cause a reduction in consumption and hence lead to lower world crude prices while helping to reduce our huge deficit. See anything wrong with my reasoning?

I'm just in the "thinking about it" phase now & was really wondering how difficult and/or feasible it would be.
