Anyone who is captured will be run through with a sword. Their little children will be dashed to death right before their eyes. Their homes will be sacked and their wives raped by the attacking hordes. For I will stir up the Medes against Babylon, and no amount of silver or gold will buy them off. The attacking armies will shoot down the young people with arrows. They will have no mercy on helpless babies and will show no compassion for the children.

I'm sure it isn't all of them, but some of them are such chronic offenders, they're every bit as complicit as the sex offenders and should be held responsible when they show a pattern of letting pedophile after pedophile out.

5 hours after purchasing 96 Mustang, I got a ticket for supposedly running a red light, (when it turned yellow I was about 10 feet from going thru the intersection & there was not enough time to stop safely)
Then 3 days later, I got a ticket for doing 30 in a 20 school zone, school hasn't even started in our town & no lights were flashing.
then 4 days later, I get pulled over again, this time it's because the very bottom of my liscense plate is covered, because of the plate holder the dealership put on the car. everything except for the bottom half of my state motto could be read.
WHAT IS THE DEAL!!!
The car does have flashy wheels, but come on.
3 stops in less than 2 weeks, only 1 ticket (red light) that I hope to beat. Please help me understand this.

A few weeks back, there was a high school in my city who forfeited their baseball championship because it was found out that the coach had gone and recruited kids from Mexico to play for their team. The kids were not citizens, and they were recruited specifically to play baseball, but the coaches had labeled them "foreign exchange" students. SO, the poop hit the fan, the students were sent back to Mexico, fines were paid, coaches suspended, and a championship lost.
I just got hired on to teach high school English at a private school here. I found out from a colleague that the coach at this school has done the SAME thing. Went to Mexico, recruited a boy, and labeled him "foreign exchange" student, though he isn't.
Anyway, I am really uncomfortable with the whole thing.
So, is it against the law to recruit high school kids from other countries just to play sports? Or is it just unethical? Or both?
And, if illegal, should I do or say something? Or just turn a blind eye?

In August of 2001--a full month before the 9/11 attack, leaders of several Kurdish Islamist factions reportedly visited the al-Qaeda leadership in Afghanistan with the goal of creating an alternate base for the organization in northern Iraq. It was shortly after this that Ansar al-Islam was created using $600,000 in al-Qaeda seed money, with even perhaps as much as $35,000 donated directly from the Mukhabarat branch of Iraqi Intelligence Service. In other words, before the Iraq War, before the Afghanistan War...and even before 9/11, certain groups of Arabs and Kurds were colluding with Al-Qaeda and Zarqawi in an attempt to establish a new AQ affiliate in N. Iraq.

Whereas a high priority case like illegal wiretapping was ruled illegal quickly many times it takes years for laws to navigate the judicial system. Meanwhile unconstitutional laws are in full force and effect. Wouldn't it be more advantageous (for the people) for laws to be approved through a judicial process before they effect the populace? There could even be a system set in place for laws that are more critical to hit a fast track and be ruled on quicker then others. If the supreme court verified the laws before being instituted there would be less process because it would illiminate the need for people to challenge and appeal through many minor courts before being heard at the supreme level.
Likewise the people should be able to "veto" a judges ruling by say 3/4 vote of states. Makes sense to me...what about you?

I often hear republicans say "I think good fences make good neighbors"

Republicans, stopping immigration destroys what this nation was built upon. America is a country of immigrants. Maybe you should try to learn their language, not just bash them for not knowing english.

So, if we stopped illegal immigration, who would build the fence for us? For that matter, who would build your decks, fuel your car with saudi oil, etc?

Do you think they will plan another 9/11 type event so they can enact martial law and suspend the elections?

This administration has concentrated more power in the Executive branch than any other President, including Nixon. They've lied and cheated their way into war...and out of trouble. They've undermined Congressional oversight, checks and balances, and the separation of powers.

Why else would they be tearing down our democracy and setting precedents that open us up to fascism....unless they plan on staying in power indefinitely?
