Yes its true the numbers are in, the president i love to hate made a good decision.

He went for welfare reform and guess what the number of people on welfare at the moment has dropped 57%.

People are actually taking care of themselves, There kids are fed and the government didn't have to pay for it.

Can i get a halleluyah! (probably spelled that wrong)

I took a picture of a crime scene in which a woman was hit by a car. I was about 50 feet away from the many cops around the body. I just wanted to take a general picture of the entire crime scene. I zoomed in a little and took the picture. There was no "CRIME SCENE - DO NOT CROSS" tape at all. A cop saw me take the picture and make me erase it off of my camera. He said "This is a crime scene. You can't take pictures." Is this true?

I want to know how the general public really feels. If you came across a resume that bears a Arab and/or Muslim name what would be your first thoughts, actions and how would you respond? Honest responses only please. Thank you.

This is a legitimate inquiry. I'd prefer honest opinions rather than canned answer or party lines.

There's something about the notion of a Liberal Media Bias that's never sat right with me. I've heard Conservatives tell me that they believe that the marjority of Americans are Conservatives. Most claim that it is an overwhealming majority. I've heard from both Conservatives and Liberals that the vast majority of the money earned in the country is made by Political Conservatives. I've been told vehemently bu Conservatives and even some Liberals that the American Media is a Liberal Bias. Why would an industry that survives off advertising revenue court the appeal of a sector of society that has the less commercial appeal in America? Is there a piece of this scenario that I'm not grasping or are some or all of these statements incorrect?

Once again please just answers to the question posed. I'm not looking for insults to Republicans or Democrats, they're not difficult to come by.

Property is the cornerstone of our economy, however Realtors say this is the worst period ever in living memory. Many industries flow from property and we will definitely see a recession in the next year 18 months.

I graduated from college. (paid my own way)
I have lived in America, Europe, and Asia.
Studied the four major religions in the world.
Lived good at times, lived in need of times. (money)
I have seen and have been friends with many peoples in the world...some rich some poor.
But I still don't get the liberals mindset.
I have seen poor people who struggle, but have happiness. I have seen poor people waiting for a hand out and miserable...
They want society to have the choice to abort babies who are innocent...but they don't want society to have the choice to kill convicted crimmals...the list can go one...almost everytime i try to a have a rational discussion with them...they just get angry, cursing and become uncivilized...i have tried to understand the liberal mindset, which is ironicly the liberal way...but after that...

Okay, I'm PISSED OFF, shocked, scared and totally confused. I confess, I voted for Pres. Bush, I support his war in Iraq and all that other jazz, BUT, I'm just infuriated and scared to death about what he, the Pres of Canada and the Pres of Mexico are doing. They are trying to make our three nations ONE NATION!! Which means bye-bye to the Constitution, bye bye to our freedom, bye bye to our rights, bye bye to what thousands and hundreds of thousands of men and boys have fought and died for!!! Has anybody else heard about this disgusting news???

required to retain honor? Never missed an election(even while stationed outside US) ! Even when no good choice... as mostly its a choice between two of same BUT you must find the slightly more enlightened path... or if eligible to vote have you registered/ registered not bothered/ your reasons? Or have you already fled in fear of your life... wise man once said he who sacrifice liberty for security soon has neither... last part of question Honorable answerers...

How many of you out there get your information from multiple sources?

For every political subject I am interested in, I get info. from NBC, FOX, NY Times and Wall Street Journal, etc. I look at both "liberal" and "conservative" sources and figure the truth is in the middle - Am I the only one? Because there is so much hate, name calling, and just flat our ignornance out there I have to wonder how many people are shouting opinions that are at worst, ignorant and at best, just very naive.

If Bush had called for a tax increase to pay for the war instead of a tax cut would your support for the war still be as strong?
If Bush had asked you to sacrifice for the war, instead of telling you to go shopping, would your support for the war still be as strong?
If Bush had initiated the draft would your support for the war still be as strong?
Just how many of your freedoms would you be willing to give up so you could be free?
How many would have to die before you wavered in your support for the war?
Just what is it that would you be willing to sacrifice for the war?

My 21 year old daughter was involved in a 'cat fight' with a 40 year old woman. The woman started the fight by grabbing her hair and pulling her to the ground ( I was there, I saw it and I stated so in my police statement).

The other person left the scene before the police arrived and my daughter received a ticket for disturbance of the peace. We have no knowledge of whether or not the other person involved recevied a ticket of any kind.

My daughter's court date is tomorrow. Yes, she is guilty of the charge, however she did not start the fight.

She is concerned about her record because she is in the health care industry. We cannot afford an attourney and in our small area public defenders are attrocious.

Is a no contest plea the way to go in this case? My understanding of the no contest plea is that you admit that the facts happened as they did, however you do not feel that you are guilty?

Can someone give me a little guidence on what she should do?
