Why don't I ever hear about all the atrocities happening in North Korea every single day? Every time I hear about human rights its always about how badly off the Africans are or how badly the terrorists America caught are been treated. What about North Korea? Why don't I hear about that place?

Right now I'm in high school and for a good portion of my life I've wanted to have a job in law enforcement. I've recently found out about several law enforcement opportunities. Once I start going to college I plan on having a full-time job with it (quite a few people in my family have it so, I guess you could say it's "family tradition"), particulary a correctional officer. My initial plan is to try it out for a while while going through college and once I graduate I'll decide from there whether I want to stick with corrections or move onto something else in law enforcement. Call me crazy but, if possible, I want to at least give it a try to see if I can do it. So, what I'm really wondering about is if the DOC would even consider hiring me on as a correctional officer while attending college full-time as well. I just want to point out that I've never been convicted of a felony, done drugs, drank, or anything like that before. Also, I'd be willing to work an shift they'd give to me.

These are only a few experts that are silenced by the right wing corporate media.

How would a Libertarian Governement deal with the situation?

My wife wants a divorce simply because she is unhappy. I have tried. I just got served today. The lawyers tell me the best I can do is shared custody and pay her. I can not live without my 3 boys 6, 8, and 10. At 50 I can not start over. This was my life plan. If I get the boys I will give her 24/7 visitation. She is free to come and go, date what ever. I don't care. I need my boys. I have no one in my court.
Does anyone know anyone who can help?
On top of this she is going to a women of faith conference in Orlando next week. Would a woman of faith do this??
If you are a speaker at this event I sure hope you address this issue and direct it to all pastors and divorcing women.
I don't think my boys want to live a day without me or their mom.
God please come through...

I was divorced in 1997. I kept my married name because of the kids - you know, school etc. The kids are older now and I want my maiden name back. Do I have to get a lawyer? I live in CT.

Has anyone ever heard of an employment contract where you are bound to a job for 2 years, and its not salaried? Its hourly pay...$12.00 an hour. Its not for me...my friend did sign one (so he says) and I was just wondering if there was a way out of it. For example, buying out the contract, or just quitting without real bad ramifications.

If they rent an apartment or a house they pay local & state taxes as well as special district taxes, school, city, county, and special hospital district taxes.

The pay all IRS taxes through fake social security cards
(if they make $20,000 a year a regular citizen making that money gets a nearly complete return ... they do not petition for a return since they do not file for taxes yet their companies still pay their taxes for them SO THE IRS KEEPS ALL THERE TAXES WITH NO RETURN... Companies are more scared of the IRS than Immigration)
Illegals are probably what is saving Social Security and Medicare from ruin since they pay in and do not get a return ...


So I am left asking why do people consider that they don't pay taxes ...

and since they pay tax they have as much right to use the facilities, hospitals, and schools as any other taxpayer...

The only conclusion that is left is that this "IDEA" was created by racist to infuriate an uneducated populous.

ar eyou stupid? Terrorists are in the middle east and they are armed and mean business. I believe we should have cops everywher e in the us watching for terrorists. Not only would the terrorists not be able to attack us but crime would disappear. I'd prefer a police state to a criminal state anyday. and if you believe otherwise you are a traitor to america and you should be deported shot in front of a firing range by the military.

america hating sissy libs. wanna weaken our economy and kill all our businesses so china will laugh at us and we'll be a worldwide joke. suck it up and start working f4ggots

My sons father is in arrears of over $34,000.00. He got out of prison 6 mos. ago and still has not found a job yet. He is living in a drug rehab atm. He got thrown in prison for beating up his father. He lived with his parents who own an equestrian center. They pay him under the table and now since he is in rehab he also recieves welfare. Life is good for him right now, double tax free income.

Now he is trying to stipulate the court order to lower his payments now that he has to find a job like the rest of us.

What can I do to see that this does not happen ? I have to bring in my last two recent paycheck stubs and my last two tax returns. I also, a few years ago, found and copied a website of his stating he is a horse trainer and riding instructor on his fathers website. That specific site of his is no longer a link on his dads website. Could this help? I'm really upset that he would do this as my son and I am living in a 1 bedroom apt.

Can this work out for him?
