Copy and paste this on your address bare,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Quzh93IjN3g At the very begining it will say that "What would America be without white people? Watch the answer OF THE VERY FIRST PERSON. And that was not considered racist. If a white person said that America would be better without black people, then that would be considered racist and highly offensive. Why are white people considered the scum of the Earth? ( If you watch the whole thibg it will be hilarious, but that is not the point)

Or not? Do we owe them protection? Or should we cater to others first? What sounds right?

I have talked to phony people on the phone that promise me that a check is in the mail for $25,000 for a government grant and they even give me a confirmation number. But then they take money out of my checking account and no check ever arrives. What really is the story about these government grants? Please Please Please somebody help me.

My Grandmother has Alzheimer's. She lives in an assisted living facility in Florida. I am her legal personal guardian and my mother is her legal financial guardian. We have split guardianship.

My mother is one of the most money hungry people that I have ever known. On my Grandmother's birthday, she took my Grandmother's wedding rings from her. My mother's excuse for doing this was "I don't wear my rings, so I told Mom that I would take her's and put them in a safe deposit box". These are not family heirloom rings. They were given to my Grandmother by her third husband. My mother did not even know him. They are not even that expensive, but as I said, my mother is very money hungry.

My grandmother is very distressed about her rings being gone. I really want to see them back on her finger. It is the weekend and my lawyer is not available. I hope someone here can tell me if this is a personal or a financial guardian issue.

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Is the plan in Iraq not to take the oil, but instead control the amount that goes out, therefore increasing prices, in which the money goes back to the OPEC cartel and then they buy our bonds in a sick corrupt cycle?

...of sweeping statements about politics, races and religions, often induced by knee jerk reactions, to complicated and deep subject matters, on this site?

Not picking on anyone in particular, I have noticed a lot of angry comments from many viewpoints recently and just wondered if peopel actually consider the possible consequences of their words before writing them, or whether the fact that they are relatively anonymous sitting at a keyboard and typing them into a computer to be released into cyberspace makes them more likely to speak out.

Not trying to be cruel here...but really what does the color of somebody's skin have to do with ANYTHING? I wish somebody would invent a drug to administer at birth to make everybody the same color so we could get away from such a trivial issue and focus on things that are far more important!!! I know I am gonna get some bashing on this one...so just to be clear...I don't think we really need to drug a baby, ok?

Marine didn't suspect Haditha wrongdoing Sat Aug 19, 9:15 AM

WASHINGTON - The Marine officer in charge of troops suspected of killing 24 innocent Iraqi men, women and children told investigators he did not initiate an inquiry into the carnage because he did not consider the deaths unusual, The Washington Post reported Saturday.

In a sworn statement given to military investigators in March, Lt. Col. Jeffrey R. Chessani said: "I thought it was very sad, very unfortunate, but at the time, I did not suspect any wrongdoing from my Marines." Chessani was commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Marines.

"I did not have any reason to believe that this was anything other than combat action," he added. "This is the American way" he stated.


Reached by telephone late Friday, Marine Lt. Col. Sean Gibson, a spokesman on the Haditha case, said he had not seen the report and could not comment other than to say it is the American way.

The Marine Corps has been investigating

Having a baby in the U.S. makes the baby a citizen, according to the Constitution, and to change this rule, you have to amend the Constitution.

Also, current immigration law does not allow anyone under the age of 18 to sponsor their parent for an immigrant visa. These parents do not receive citizenship because their children are citizens, and they do not receive any kind of pass to stay in the country. It actually just causes a lot of problems for themselves and the baby.
