Can I enter U.S. right before my visa expires?

My B1/B2 visa expires in April 2007. Can I enter the country say in late March 2007, get granted six months (presumably) stay on newly issued I-94 card and consequently be in the country till say September 2007? In effect, I would be in the country while my passport visa expired, but my I-94 permits me to stay. Is this possible and common?

Is it planned to have the Saddam verdict 2 days before the elections?

It seems there's always something "big" that happens right before elections to impact and swing votes. Is this all just a game that plays with the peoples minds?

who wants to join my gang?

we can be a vigilante gang, like homer had in the simpsons, to make sure there are no bears. Then, when there are definately no more bears, we can hunt celebrities and eat them on a barbecue until we are fat and round and then after that we can go on celebrity fit club (they will have to take us as there are no celebrities) and get skinny again and then we will be able to take over the world and I will be king of the world and the olsen twins (who don't count as celebrities) will be the queens of the world and we will have many many many children together and I will then set up a base on the moon to launch our invasion of the whole galaxy. after we have overthrown the galaxy, I will declare myself emperor, and avril lavigne (not a celebrity) can be empress and she will also bear my children, and then the galaxy will be safe forever. I will then make galaxy chocolate taste nicer, I really don't like it at the moment, and that is a shame. yes it is. yes.

Why isn't the national media publishing the fact that the terrorists have openly supported Democrats ?

World Net Daily online has published by name the comments of terrorists who are hoping the Democrats take control of Congress. They say this will defeat the U.S. tyrant and prove the resistance of the insurgency works. This information helps Republicans, so naturally the bias media won't broadcast this.

When did Army recruiters start acting like politicians?

Nov. 3, 2006 - An ABC News undercover investigation showed Army recruiters telling students that the war in Iraq was over, in an effort to get them to enlist.

ABC News equipped students with hidden video cameras before they visited 10 Army recruitment offices in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

"Nobody is going over to Iraq anymore?" one student asks a recruiter.

"No, we're bringing people back," he replies.

"We're not at war. War ended a long time ago," another recruiter says.

Last year, the Army suspended recruiting nationwide to retrain recruiters following hundreds of allegations of improprieties.

ABC News found one recruiter who even claimed if you didn't like the Army, you could just quit.

"It's called a 'Failure to Adapt' discharge," the recruiter said. "It's an entry-level discharge so it won't affect anything on your record. It'll just be like it never happened."

Is it okay to run a political ad with images of the flag-draped coffins of soldiers?

Is it acceptable for the RNC to use American soldiers coffins in their advertising?

If they're not trying to insult the memories of fallen soldiers to raise money, they're doing it to get votes...but does it really matter?

Are you angry about the sensitive info released by 2 Republican legislators?

So R's are supposed to be the ones who will protect us? Pat Roberts and Peter Hoekstra, two Rep. lawmakers pressured the Administration to post captured Iraqi documents on a web portal w/out fully vetting them and known risks. Clearly, we have some of the most retarded people running this country since they posted some very sensitive material purely for political gain w/out regard for national security. These idiots should be removed from office. Any other person who breached security of this sort would be-- and likely prosecuted as well.

Would you mind if a foreing person from Brasil (descending by Japanese) would live legally in your country?

* I don't like my country. The politicians are thieves, the people are ignorant, have no culture, no education, no respect, they don't study, they don't care about the nature and the future. Have many violence here and I don't like the brazilian culture. I always wanted go out from here. The most part of my family (including my mother lives in Japan, but I don't like the Japan too, the culture, the people and because they devastate the marine life). I have a aunt that lives there. She have two daughters. All they are legally. I pretend to finish my course here ( I do Biology here) and go there to live and work as a researcher and ambientalist. I like very much the classical music and pop romantic music. Please tell me your opinion.

Anyone here in Policy debate? I'm a novice and I got cheated out of second place. Do you think that's right?

So I went to a debate today and I'm a novice policy debator. The first debate my team was neg. The aff. said that their plan increases "slots" in the Peace Corps to 16,000. I ran a topicality attack and said that they're increasing spots, not people in the Corps. I had a definition of "persons" with me and everything, but I didn't win. WTF? I had a 3-1 record at the end of day and got 6th due to speaker points. There was only 4-0 team, and if I got 4-0 I would've gotten 2nd place.

By the way, the aff team replyed by saying that slots means people. I reread the definition of persons (because the resolved is: the US government should substantially increase the number of peoples in Peace Corps, Senior Corps, or AmeriCorps), and I should've won...right?

"We're not at war. War ended a long time ago," another recruiter says. One recruiter even claimed if you didn't like the Army, you could just quit.

Col. Robert Manning, who is in charge of U.S. Army recruiting for the entire Northeast, said that new recruits were likely to go to Iraq.

When congress raises their own salary who pays for it?

People are saying they won't raise our minimum wage because it raises prices everywhere. What about their raises? Who gets to foot the bill? They're not working that hard, in fact with all the bull**** and mistakes they've made, they don't deserve the jobs they have. Why should my taxes be used to pay for jerks salaries that I didn't even vote for.

Is there anything else you can do? I have tried to contact the person they ignore me, i email, phone, go by their house and they are not there or they tell me an empty promise that they are going to pay me. Is there ways to get them arrested for not paying? What about warrants, or liens against property that they own? How about filing it with a credit baurea?

How can I beat a photo radar ticket?

Lately, photo radar tickets in my neighborhood are out of control. The thing that annoys me most about them is that they seem almost impossible to contest. If I went five miles over the limit in a specific area of a busy street, how would I know? Worse, they don't even post signs telling you if photo radar is in use.

I think that it's wrong, as well. I have serious doubts about the legitimacy of speed camera. Machines are broken all the time. Tell that to the driver/victim.

What's the best way to beat photo radar, or the ticket, if you get one?

How can I stop, and preferably get prosecuted, yahoo account holders offering me child pornography?

My email inbox has recently started to fill up with emails from yahoo sources, offering child pornography. Surely this is misuse of the facility and has to be stopped, preferably by publishing names and telling neighbours about the perverts who live in their street.
