Politics & Government - 16 October 2006

As I was working out in the gym, I happen to find a cell in the treadmill. I took the cell. I decided I would call the "Home" contact on the cell to see if they can come pick it up, or if they wanted me to go drop it off, after my workout. As I was about to call the home number, the cell rings and it is the owner. I tell the owner " I have found your cell where can I met you to give it back?" He says met him at the the gym. I go back to the gym where I give the owner the cell phone, he then tells me to come closer, and shows me a badge, which I could barely see, and asks my age. I say 17 and he threatens to take me to Juvie. He then procedes to say "If it were the wrong person you could've been F'd up, get lose chump". I go away.

I did not do anything wrong, I was nice enough to return the phone. I felt mistreated. He goes to the same gym and I plan on asking him for his bagde # the next time I see. My ? is if I ask must he give it? And what can I do about this situation.

Thank u.

The reason I ask is I feel that some people, no matter what country you are from, judge their opinions on what their media decides on letting them know (And in a lot of countries, the government is the media). Should governments tell them everything even at the cost of national security? Or would most people be content on knowing what they do? Or would full information cause panic?

I don't scream any words. I just pick them up, and scream for a while in their faces. Do you think this will traumatize them?

Drugs are in fact NOT bad, drugs enlighten the mind to think as " a different mind" and can be helpful when proving how strong the human mind is with or with out drugs. Truth is, not everyone is the same, and drugs react differently with different people. In our history, major government documents have be written and thought up by fore fathers who were under the influence of opiates, heavy amounts of alcohol, and sometimes marijuna. So, now I ask you, If our fore fathers weren't so drugged up and intent on not being one with the their previous duties and religions, would we have as much free will in America as we do now??

Why do people accuse our Government of lying about WMD's. I remeber watching as Colin Powell made his presentation to the U.N presenting our proof that Iraq had WMD's. The Images that he presented to the U.N were most likely verified by top experts in the Cia and Top experts in Nuclear and Biological warfare. So why do people believe that our Government was lying. I don't think that our Government would blatently lie in front of the entire U.N.

im not really into conspiracy theorys but i watched a film on google video earlier called 9/11 mysteries ,i watched the film and as much as it was slightly one sided all the "evidence" does point to it being more plausible through many reasons that the buildings were blown up ,now i like to look at both sides and make up my own mind for a while now ive slammed alot of these conspiracy theory sites about 9/11 because of the way they go about it and i thought it was just a load of old rubish but i watched this film and although i couldnt say hand on heart that the US goverment did do it there is a lot of questions to be answered,but also alot of questions to be answered that the film didnt look at because it did for me put a phew little holes in there argument ,if youved watched it tell me what you think if you havent ,watch it and have a look at things from all angles i gotta say if it was an inside job then the truth will come out any way you could never cover something like that up .

But because of NATO warnings that we would not have been backed if we went after him we did not. Should we have gone after him? Should we have pressed NATO into going with us?

Does anyone know what happens to someone accused of mail fraud. It was nothing serious, this person changed someones address on a bill by writing a letter as if the letter was that person asking them to change there address on file. The person this was done too is pursing it. They are also pursing the wrong person. But pretty sure shes gonna stick with the first person. Can anyone help with this matter? And is there a first offense defense?

Is it easier to get into the Navy than it is the Air Force? I hear it is and I want to know why and I have another question. I'm 17 now, but when I was 14, I had surgery to correct ptosis of the eye lid on my left eye, will this disqualify me, or is it only a disqualifyer if it still affects my vision, because otherwise, I have excellent vision.

History Lesson.

The occupying army manned the polling areas to assure that there would be no voting irregularities. Meanwhile, the population went to the polls and voted in unprecedented numbers. When the votes were counted, to no one’s surprise the party in league with the occupying military won the election and began to run the country — while the foreign occupying army got a series of military bases and stayed on and on and on.

Iraq in 2005?

No, it was Poland in 1947, and over 40 years passed before the Soviets left.
