A friend of mine is unemployable in her field of 15 years, bc of her credit. She did land one job and they told her " due to your criminal activity, you will not be allowed to handle checks." Criminal activity being... her credit is colorful. She has been dinied jobs time and time again bc of this Act or Bill.

we have more than two choices

we can stay on this rediculous course. we can get the heck out tomorrow. or we can redeploy out into the neighborhood in order to let the iraqis start to sort their future out by themselves and be on call should things get overwhelmingly out of control.

thank god for bush senior (i never thought i would type those words), the kuwaitis will still have us, and others. it would be the same old policy of containment, but this time we would be babysitting a civil war that we started from the sidelines.

this elected government will fall, and we do not yet know what will emerge.

we are better off helping from kuwait, containing from kuwait. and the international struggle against terrorism is better of fought with the willing support of the worlds countries we have been so dismissive of lately.

we need leaders who can play well with other world leaders.

My son's mother is Mexican. She's currently out of the picture. Because of all the heat about illegals and Mexicans in general right now, my fiance wants me to tell people that my son is Costa Rican, rather than Mexican, because she thinks people will look down on him if they find out he's half Mexican.

I don't really mind lying to people rude enough to ask "what is he", but I don't think he should feel ashamed of his nationality. (He's four years old now, old enough to know what a lie is.)

Any thoughts?

Why do I get arrested & not her? She has priors, I do not. She also was informed by Officer that Oregon wants her on charges, but he would not extradite her, he just let her walk. Why wasn't she arrested as well? After all, she was the only one in the RV and her record speaks for itself. And just for the record, I did not know she was on probation or had priors. Met her at church and she needed a place to put her belongings in. I offered RV that was parked in church parking lot where I stayed in it. She did not.

You can forget about Soc Sec if Bush has his way. This happens to benefit the working class the most.

If your bankrupt don't even bother to file with new conservative laws that make it much more difficult to get back on your middle class feet.

You need to get back on your feet again? Not if conservatives have their way. Rich people don't need Uncle Sam's help, middle class does and if you think you can get a little boost from Uncle Sam the conservatives want to get rid of those programs.

Middle class people need help getting to college too right? Since that funding has been cut good luck.

Your middle class worker who is being dislocated. Used to be work force training programs that help out. Not anymore, nutcase neo-cons got rid of that.

Conservatives got rid of rules that make work sites safer for working men and women. Also they cut back on work force safety standards. Of course rich folks don't work those jobs.

Do conservatives hate working family's and the poor?

I was just out for Subway a few minutes ago, and noticed a "La Raza" bumper sticker with a radio station frequency under it.

They say they aren't racist, yet, if white people had a station that said "The White People's Radio Station" --God forbid, we'd be the most racist bunch on the face of the planet...

---Is it just me or ....what's the deal with that?

Hell, if you can have a "hispanic radio station" why not have a "white radio station?"

....This world is full of hypocrisy...

--Rob

I guess I'm a racist now for pointing out this detail??

--Good, at least I know I'm p!ssing someone off!!

I'm asking this not because I believe that sex offenders should be registered but because I'm wondering why sex offenders have been singled out when other crimes have far higher recidivism rates. Registries exist in some states for drug offenders, arsonists and others. However, none, as far as I know, are listed on the Internet.

I am concerned about these registries for their potential to create vigilantes and to punish the innocent family members of the offenders and the offenders themselves long after they've paid their debt to society. I am also worried about the constitutionality of these registries. The U.S. Constitution expressly forbids ex post facto (after the fact) punishment, and some members of the public are vigilantes.

Should registries for drunk drivers, especially those who kill and maim, murderers, thieves, domestic abusers, drug dealers, bank robbers, etc. be placed on the internet?

Please only serious answers - no hang em high answers. They don't help!
