Politics & Government - 30 October 2006

Ok I used to go out with someone my freshman and sophomore year. We broke up over the summer and I dated someone else we just broke up a couple weeks ago and I'm going back out with the person I used to be with. I know it's kind of confusing but now the guy I went out with over the summer is pissed off and he's threatening to go to the cops because I'm 17 and my boyfriend just turned 18. Our parents obviously know we're together we were high school sweethearts so we have parental consent. We're only a year apart but because he just turned 18 now can my ex actually get us in trouble. How does the law work with stuff like that? We havn't had sex or anything, what does the law all say about this?

My last question evoked some very racist answers involving anger against whites. Obviously this is a vocal minority but why would it not be acceptable to call them racists and pursue them for violating my civil rights as an Anglo? Hatespeech is hatespeech and I am as much a victim as the next when called on or accused of prejudicial actions in which I had no participation......

You know this question is going to bring more haters into the room

put the tritium ice for (nuclear fusion)? Got the spherical Pu240 shell (20kg) and the explosive lenses etc in place. Does the fusion material go INSIDE the shell or what? ..and should we put it all in one big lump or in small gold packaged spheres within the main mass? I mean.. it's a real bummer if the the device fragments before complete thermonuclear reaction takes place!..bit of a damp squib! Nov5 is approaching and I need to impress my S. Korean neighbours downstairs and the Japanese across the way with a display of peaceful pyrotechnics!

have a desease or suffered a loss? I have suffered uspeakable losses in my life, does that mean that whatever I say goes now, because you haven't suffered what I suffered? What the hell is that? Just because Michael J Fox has Parkinson doesn't mean that he gets to have all the say in the matter of stem cell research, specially when you politicize it by making a horrendous Ad for a hack politician.

The Department of Homeland Security
released new figures
touting its tough new approach to illegal immigration. But
critics say the statistics are a lot of smoke and mirrors. Is
the DHS getting tough on border security and illegal
immigration, or are they just pretending to crack down

Since Iraq is now a Sovereign nation, a Democratic society, shouldn't we leave it up to THEM to decide whether we stay or leave?
It could be easily done with a simple referendum that they could vote on such as: "Do you want the US to continue their military presence in Iraq?" "Yes or No". If they vote "No" we begin immediate withdrawal. If "Yes" we plan a slow withdrawal.

Don't you think it should be up to the Iraqui people to decide?

In the paper about 6 months ago a women was here from refigy or however you spell it. She had been here for about 14 years from the age of 8. She was know 22 she made a life here and yes even got an education. She had a child at age 20. She had bought a house alone single and all. She went to renew her status and they denied her. Ready to go back the next day and see what the problem was and talk with immigration but the next day never came about in the united states. They came to her house and picked her up that day and shipped her off. Im not for illegal immigration one bit people i cant stand how the system is being used by most of these people however i get very upset when there are so many crossing, yet a women who has known nothing but the american life educates herself, supports her and her kid, and causes no problems is shipped out.

If they want to stay, they should be forced to pay a balanced amount of the displaced value of work performed that would have otherwise been performed by a legal American worker at fair labor rates. The pay would go to the state's social services to cover the costs of the illegal's exponentially growing social services and public health care demands. I.E. Illegal gardener working 40 hours a week at $10 an hour vice a legal citizen doing the same at $18 an hour would owe the state $320 for every week they worked in the Estados Unidos as an illegal alien. If they have worked for 52 weeks, that would be $7,640.00 payable in full prior to getting their citizenship AND the money can't come from illegally earned wages.

There are 50 holes in the walls and every door is broken and kicked in. What can I do to these people short of hiring a lawyer? The lawyer costs $1000 just to start. Too expensive. They have moved 2 doors down and laugh at me when I pass. Small claims court says I have the burden of discovery..I have to follow them to serve them papers and garnish wages I have to have addresses and places of employment. Don't I have any rights? This was a criminal act and the law says it's civil.

All I hear from the Republicans is the Democrats want to cut and run. From everything I have seen or read it looks like it is the Iraqis that cut and run. You would think that Dick our VP would know about cut and run, He had five military deferments. And Geo. joined the air guard. No Vietnam for either. And they have the nerve to treat Veterans like they do.
