I read someone here had written that gay people have "more rights" than straight people. Why?

And while I'm at it, to save time:

How does it "hurt marriage" that gay people marry?

Why does it matter if they're "born" or "raised" gay?

.Why do people throw the race card? I see a lot of questions that start 'white people'....etc etc etc. Do hispanics/illegals/illegal supporters understand that the issue is not confined to illegals from the americas? Further, why should citizens of Mexico and central american countries recieve special preference of some kind when it comes to US immigration law? What makes them special or privileged to violate our border laws?

Drinking alcohol is 18? I know alcohol is dangerous, but surely driving a car is a potential death machine. Especially in someone that young. I know some people that have started driving and iv seen them speed and drive dangerously. One even knocked a younger pupil over. You are not even classified as an adult at 17. Anyone else think this is crazy?

But if I as a american citizen break the law as they as they have for an equal or lesser crime be tried? How can law enforcement do nothing about this? How is it that I see illegal immigrants everyday on the side of the road looking for work(southern california) and everyone knows they are illegal but we do nothing about this?

mexico is a big place. it has many people and many great things about it.

but recenty, i have heard people say bad things about mexico like it is trash, a dump, or a slob country

i am here to say, "THIS IS NOT AT ALL TRUE!"

i have been to many places in mexico for vacation and i have come to notice that the onlt places in mexico that are pretty run-down are the northern states near the united states

the north of mexico is pretty bad and it seems to be the only place that doesn't show all of mexico's beauty.

many will say, "mexico is trashing the south of the usa" but also, many could just as easily say in mexico, "the usa is trashing up our northern states."

i don't know why this has come to be, but i can assure you mexico is a wonderous land with beautiful places and great, fun things to do all over.

i may live in the united states, but my heart lies in mexico. the united states will always be my home since i can find more oppertunities here, but i still love mex!

Proof that George W.Bush had prior knowledge of the events of September 11th...(It's NOT "only" how he reacted (body language)to the question people(Skeptics).It's the FACT that NORAD was holding drills from 2 years before,to the day of 911 of the same EXACT event,and our "government" never heard of such a thing?

Two months ago I was involved in some sort of incident in another state (LA county, to be exact). Anyways, there was always a 1% possibility of an arrest warrant. Like I said, it's been two months, and I haven't heard anything from the police or anyone (they have my contact information). Last week I called LA county courthouse to see if I have an arrest warrant -- just in case, you know? They said nope. I made sure to ask them if it was in all of LA county, they said nope. But should I call again (one week later)? Do you think anything would have changed in a week?

Or am I just paranoid?

True...what clinton did was shameful and not good for the world image of america. Funny though isnt it that the cons were more worried then of the worlds view of us than they are now? Noone likes us no and their reply is we dont care what people think about us..

"Clinton was worse because he deteriorated the moral fabric of our country"
I think my safety is more of a concern than my morally defunct neighbors...
Bad morals wont kill me but pissed of nationals of countries we have invaded illegally will!!

I had pulled over onto a gravel sideroad, about midnight out in the country, was talking on my cell phone, a cop drives up & comes to my window. He says a passerby had flagged him down & said they had stopped & pecked on my car window but got no response, like I was supposed to be passed out or sleeping or something (complete lie). A pickup truck did drive by, but they didn't stop. So while I was talking to this cop, he says he smells alcohol. I don't drink. (Lie #2) Made me get out, searched me, my car, & gave me a sobriety test but not a breath analyzer. How do I defend myself against lying cops? I thought I was going to be arrested. I am a 51 yr old white female, have a clean record, never been arrested & have had one speeding ticket (school zone) & 2 parking tickets in my entire life. Please, only serious answers.

I would like to know if anyone has used a home drug test kit on their small child to detect second hand smoke from marijuana? My child is exposed to it weekly by her paternal grandmother during her father's visitation and no one has been able to help me keep her out of her house because her father has shared legal and physical custody, and lives with his mother. I was told that I need to get proof of my daughters exposure to it through a doctor doing the test and that would be enough to keep her out of there and possibly get full custody back. Do you think this is true? Do those kits really hold up in court? Thanks for the advice.

Right now there is a big debate whether our president has the right to tap into phone, email and other mediums to thwart terrorist activities in order to prevent another 9/11 disaster, would you give up some of your freedom of privacy to allow this?

GUACAMOLE
A fine Guacamole is an intensely Indian dish, from the land of the Mayas, Olmecs, Nahuatls: Mexico and Central America. No one knows where chile and avocado first met, but it was somewhere in the soft and fragrant country of the Tropic Americas. This is a recipe from the northernmost part of this world, here on the Rio Grande.
The quality of your Guacamole depends primarily on the quality of the avocado and the savor of the chile. The rest is a gentle balance of other flavors, to accent but not cover the avocado and the chile.
Ideally, the avocados should be quite soft, heavy in the hand and with a clean, oily smell. Avacados picked late in the growing cycle will ripen to perfection in about a week or so, but if they are picked too soon, they will never be right.
The chiles are much a matter of taste, and the choice of the chile to a large part gives the guacamole its character.

That's right, it's a history of guacamole, which is just as useless as sealRborders posts

In my country, no one wants to associate with a family whose member has been to prison.
Crimes are so rampant in the US & people don't just give a damn going to jail - its like second home to most.
Could it be because prisoners have access to too much comfort?
