This stupid "question" is for the folks asking the stupid "questions" only.

Please, if you're one of the few posters making any sense whatsoever on this "forum", don't bother with this one - I want only those who are here as a complete waste of their time!

I knew some people years ago that supposedly died in a USA plane crash and never found out what the cause was or if their names were on the passenger list. I can find details of the flights of either 1982 (Pan Am 759) or 1985 (Dallas/FtW?) but no memorial/victim/obituarying reports at all.

Not even the legal cases give specific names of all the victims. Yes I am a morbid sod but also curious as to why the secrecy and not a rememberance site (eg like the 911 victims had).

Hello everyone,

I just had a tenant move out of a rental I own. After moving out, one could tell that the tenant had a pet. From the smell, it smells like cat pee. I had just replaced the carpets a year ago before the tenant moved in to the apartment. Getting an estimate, it is going to cost more to replace the flooring than what I had collected in security deposit. The lease clearly stated that no pets were allowed. Can I sue for additional money the security deposit did not cover in replacing the flooring due to damages from a pet that was not permitted under the lease?

Thank you for any help,
Chris

In Jail without a lawyer, what can he do?
A friend of mine is in jail - for (two non-violent misdemeanors)..
ANYWAYS: The circumstances surrounding his arrest, guilt or innocence are not the point, The point and question involves the fact that he applied for a publuc defender the day he was arrested. And the Judge was aware that the public defenders office was unable to represent him,as they were also representing his ex-wife (on a different case)... So the judge's duty was to then appoint my friend assigned counsel (by the court)..
*An american right*
43+ days later my friend STILL has not had the opportunity to see a lawyer and hes been at court hearings for this case 4 different times (each time, the **** gets adjourned)... NOW hes got to sit in jail another whole month and 4 days before his NEXT hearing..and to this day has NOT had access to an atty- and cant afford to hire one! Does anyone know the correct course of action my friend can take under these circumstances?? Your thoughts are much appreciated.

Additional Details

3 days ago
FYI: I know everything about this man's charges. And hes not gotten arrested for anything other than overdue child support!! NO FELONIES- **EVER*** But Im grateful to the person who's accused me of lying about this; It just validates what I already know: That he DEFINATELY has a good case against the court!!

The Dept of HOMELAND Security, was created to keep OUR Homeland secure, yet every year 3 million criminals illegally invade our country. Do you think they have failed to stop the massive influx of illegal criminals that violate this countries laws by illegally crossing our borders ? A real American will answer yes, to this question.

Do you remember how many times during the Clinton years Democrats told us everyone lies about sex and that Republicans were shamefully distracting the Clinton administration by harping on White House cover-ups about sex with an intern?

Well, we have far worse distractions now being promoted by Democrats about far less important matters and during far more dangerous times.

When Clinton was president he lamented, "I just want to get back to the work of the American people." That deserves to be echoed by Democrats today, because we need to have a genuine debate on the issues that really matter – the war against the jihadists, the economy, marriage and abortion, and other vital issues – before the November elections.

Will Democrats, if they regain control of either – or both – houses of Congress, use their newfound majority to further stifle the president's prosecution of the war on terror? Will they de-fund our soldiers in Iraq and demand a timetable for withdrawal? Their incessant criticisms of Iraq being "the wrong war, wrong place, wrong time" imply that they would.

Likewise, would the Democrats undo the partial reform measures aimed at sealing our borders? Would they try to roll back tax cuts? The public is entitled to know what the Republicans stand for and what the Democrats stand for, and the media are supposed to be the vehicle to make sure that we do.

But the media seem uninterested in these issues. Their sole focus seems to be to try to embarrass, if not emasculate, President Bush and the Republicans and return the Democrats to power.

Don't tell me the media and the Democrats are morally outraged about any aspect of the Foley matter, because that dog just won't hunt. They have absolutely no moral standing to complain about anyone else's laxity over deviant sexual behavior.


You know the drill. You've read and heard the Democrats' sordid track record on these matters. They not only didn't condemn Democratic congressman Gerry Studds for his actual sex – not perverted flirting – with a page, they gave him ovations. Congressman Barney Frank remains a respected Democrat even though an aide ran a prostitution ring out of Frank's apartment. The Democrats told us that Clinton's defilement of the Oval Office was a private matter. They champion the advancement of the radical homosexual agenda and safeguard partial-birth abortion.

"No, no, no," they cry. This is about Republican hypocrisy. The GOP pretends to be the party of values and yet embroils itself in this salacious scandal.

But Republicans are not guilty of hypocrisy here – they immediately purged Foley when they discovered the extent of his disgraceful misconduct.

And if Speaker Dennis Hastert had dropped the ax on Foley earlier, based on what he was told about the initial e-mails, you can be sure that the ACLU, the gay lobby, and apparently indignant Democrats would have cried homophobia at the top of their lungs.

It's the Democrats who are the hypocrites. Here they are castigating Hastert for not taking action that they would otherwise describe as homophobia.


This should be a non-scandal because it doesn't involve the Republican Party, or, in fairness, even its House leader. Based on the facts we know now, it involves Foley alone. Let's put the brakes on this rush to judgment against Hastert until we see what facts the investigation reveals.

The real scandal is the Democratic Party. As I point out in my book "Bankrupt: The Moral and Intellectual Bankruptcy of Today's Democratic Party" – and document in detail in their own words – the Democrats are unhinged in their Bush hatred, trying to parade under a false banner of being a "values" party themselves, and have no real political platform at all, except for opposing the Republicans on everything, most of all on the war on terror.

And the real disaster would be if Nancy Pelosi becomes speaker of the House or Harry Reid becomes the Senate majority leader. Can anyone really see Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid as responsible war leaders in Congress?

Democrats have disingenuously told us they couldn't wait to make this election a referendum on President Bush's policies on national security and the war in Iraq. But they have done everything they could to avoid this discussion because they still have no policies of their own to offer on the war – and they have even less to offer on the economy, which is robust and booming.

They will ride the Foley incident as long as they can, but eventually, sometime before the election, they'll have to give us some answers. Too bad for them. They don't have any.

I say yes - we go in and kill the Nazi-facist president and the religous fundamentalist Ayatollah. The crazy president called for the destruction of America and the annihilation of Isreal and the west. Then we should kick the religous fundies out of our own government. Retards like Pat Robertson and Bill Frist are turning the US into an Iran like theology.


For those retards on yahoo boards out there rooting for the destruction of America - shut the fu*k up because the internet and yahoo boards wouldn't exsist if it wasn't for American ingenuity.

I am a Viet Nam vet. I just read answers about giving up rights at the airport. I listened to cry babies who didn't want to slow their trips.

You have never had a enemy on your soil , dictating or killing at random.

As an American fighting man , I am hurt by the weekened people that had never had to fight for their freedom. We that have would be willing to give up a little time. Some gave a lot , Some gave all. Who will stand up for National Security? Will YOu?

Besides Canada, since it is pretty different country from the U.S.. is America still friendly place for its citizens and the world?

Do you feel the Americans are still warm and polite, and generous like they used to be?

If there is (are) something you feel comfortable/ uncomfortable about dealing with the Americans, what is it?
