My neighbor buys her 16 year old son cigarettes. He chain smokes them all day long. He goes to special* school so he's home all day. I know that he can't buy them - that's illegal. Is it illegal for his mother or another adult to give them to him? Is it illegal for him to smoke them?

*Does not go to school. Has a "nervous condition" which is why his mother allows the smoking. His teeth are the color of Kahlua. =)

Many have wondered why we haven't been able to capture Osma bin Laden in this amount of time. If our government can't gather and evict 11 million illegal aliens who live and work under our noses,as well as the people who blatantly employ them,then how can we expect them to find ,and capture and remove just one man in a cave somewhere far,far away?

and how have the Republicans brought that pride into question?

Warmongering,
Freedom restrictions,
Torture and aspiring to the lowest common denominator
Attacking our children, sexually and religiously?
Anything else you can add will be appreciated.

US President George W Bush has signed a controversial bill into law that will pay for a 700-mile fence (1,125km) fence along the border with Mexico.
The barrier, equipped with hi-tech surveillance equipment, will be built in areas where many illegal immigrants cross over into the United States.

Mr Bush has also suggested a temporary guest worker programme to allow immigrants to work legally in the US.

But Republican congressmen have argued against the idea.

They said it would be an amnesty that would give illegal immigrants a route to citizenship....

That is what they are you know. Who thinks PC should rule your thoughts and speech? To all of you who tell it like it really is and use illegal aliens in correct format, Cheers to you!

Deport, Report and no AMNESTY... :)

Copy and paste your facts, I like reading them too.

If this country was founded on religious freedom and separation of church and state then why do we not allow gay marriage? But, let me clarify, I agree in respecting the fact that we were founded on Christian principles (ie: keep "God" in the pledge). However, why should we continue to allow religion to govern our laws?

I'm straight, but no gay person's marriage affects me. Why should I care? It doesn't make me feel like my marriage is worth less because two guys get married. It seems that it should be up to the person marrying the couple. If their church doesn't want to, then I have no problem with that - we have no right to force the church's to perform same-sex marriages either.

I just don't see why the government should be able to regulate such religious morality.

As an example: here in Texas, we used to have an anti-sodomy law. I found that absolutely ridiculous, but it has been abolished now. I find gay marriage to be along the same lines in that it shouldn't be banned

A woman just asked "why is it so hard to immigrate here legally?" The majority of you answered 'file paper work and do it the right way". You are truly misguided and do not understand that immigrating here legally is Near to Impossible! My husband & I have been working with an attorney for more than a year & we have made No progress! NONE. We are trying to do it the Right Way!! Perhaps as some of you said there is a cap on how many immigrants they let in, all though I have never heard that before. Besides we have a family! We are married! He has No criminal record.

Why do you think it is a simple process??????????????

I will tell you, because when most of our ancestors came to this great country they came because they wanted to be Americans. They did not come here and ask for government paperwork to be changed so they can read it. THEY LEARNED TO SPEAK ENGLISH! They did everything they could to become citizens. They did not try to find a loophole so they could just work here for a few years and go back to there country. If you want to live hear you have to assimilate your self into our culture not b itch until everyone changes for you.

Can we trust the system to be truthfull with the backround of Democrat's seeking to regain control of the house and Republicans desperate to retain control ways heavily in the current scandal involving Republican Congressman Foley? Is any investigation going to be tainted by bias and partisan politics. Is an independent counsel more apporopriate..Grand Jury?

If that is not a crime, they should only arrest people using drugs and not those providing it.
