Politics & Government - 1 October 2006

I wanted to know what exactly constitutes illegal search of a vehicle. My boyfriend and a girl were driving and got pulled over. My boyfriend was driving and the girl was the owner ofthe car. He was a legal, licensed driver with no warrants for his arrest at the time. Imediatley, my boyfriend was arrested. They then searched the car and found a little bag of meth. He went to jail and the girl went home. I know the driver is responsible for the contents of the vehicle, but was arresting him before the drug was found legit?

We want to know the name of my mother-in-law's father. She will not tell us his name. Mom went by an alias when growing up. We were able to find out the last name, but not the first. She slipped one evening and said it out loud. Can we get an official birth certificate from the state even though she is still living and without her knowledge. At this point I have no idea how to get his name if nobody will talk about it. It's NOT a common name so once we get a first name, it should not take long to track down family members who might have known him. We are assuming he's died by now.
We mainly want to do this for medical history but she still refuses to budge on this issue......Apparently he was in the mafia and everything relating to him should be kept a family secret.

1. Define fascism
2. Explain which country enemy combatants (aka "terrorists") are fighting for, taking into account their status as defined by Bush which allowed him to deny them the protections afforded under the Geneva Conventions
3. Explain what Islam as a religion has to do with #1, specifically stating where religion is mentioned in the definition
3. Explain how you can possibly link #2 with #1 and make any logical sense

10 points to the braniac who can actually explain how the term "Islamofascist" is not a non sequiter

So is the GOP still opposed to gays when one of their own is one?
And no, its not an "isolated incident", since so many other right wing hypocrites "allowed him" to go ahead with whatever the hell he was doing.

So much for liberals allowing peodophalia, you Neocons took care of it for them.

The legal system is a joke, I was at court for kicking the **** out of two ar*eholes who tried to attack me (they ran into their house when they couldn't get the better of me and called the police - but that's another story), There were two sex offenders on trial that day, one had raped 11 people, including an 11 year old girl, his excuse to the judge was that he couldn't help himself ( He pleaded guilty and got 6 months probation and counselling !!! - no jail). The other was a peadophile who was charged with molesting 7 children, he got bailed (let out) to reappear a few weeks later. These scum should have the c**ks cut off and left to bleed to death.
Does everyone agree, there should be more vigilantes if the police and courts are not doing the right thing.

At a later stage how can a WIFE turn back and yell "...........eeek I have been raped by my husband". Doesn't that look comic? At the most the husband may be punished for assault or cruelty towards his wife. But, how can it amount to RAPE by any standards?
Otherwise every sexual act after having a good drink and dinner could be termed as RAPE!! I'll give you an instance. Husband and Wife are sleeping together on their wedding anniversary and the man gets the urge to have sex. The woman says no as she is having periods. The man says doesn't mind and has his will. The woman doesn't protest but later on goes to police an files a complanit of RAPE against her husband saying that she never gave concent for the sex and the husband aught to be punished for RAPE i.e., seven years of prison term. WHAT THE HELL... IN WHICH JUSTICE SYSTEM ARE WE LIVING?

Since I believe that all people should be treated equal regardless of skin color, sex, race, etc., I am against affirmative action, which gives preference to some minorities like blacks, who don't deserve it in my opinion.

What are some good books that are against affirmative action?

why is that only people that their parents, grand parents or their great grand parents emmigrated to this country shout loudest about illigal immigration. i want know what our moral standing, is since there is no place in history where, an invitation was sent to our forfathers to come and dwell in this country have birth to our parents then us and having all the previllages and right in this United states. if there is such i want to know about it. they came in their 1000s, in ship load. what special invition, previleges, or visas did they come to america with. i just want to know, because i think people should stop blaming these innocent people for everything wrong with America. why cant we give them the same opportunity accorded our own grand parents when they came to America. even the argument on the economic implication is baseless, i think we are not telling ourselves the truth.....................................comment incorage

The Yanks are re-considering their stance ("legitimate" use of torture) because (a) international outrage upsets the poor dears (b) (and much more important, and as every regime that has used torture well knows) if you use torture to try to elicit a response, the victim will tell you pretty much anything - true or false - that he thinks you might want to hear. The information gained is generally thought (and sorry can't quote, but know I've read this many times in "good" sources) to be pretty much unreliable, 'cos the torturers know that they are hearing what their victim thinks they want to hear. So it's all pretty fruitless. Equating what "they" do to what we should do is degenerate if what "they" do is less sophisticated than what "we" do. Overall good treatment is not "soft", merely civilised, and as, if not more, productive of good information than torture.
