a few marines turned up in a chat room, since i hve never seen marines on active duty in iraq in chat rooms nor have the other chatters, they didn't believe them. so they got on cam, showing thier uniforms, rifles, helmets. but since i know quite a bot about the military i asked them to show me the bullet proof vest that all soldiers in iraq wear, they came out with an excuse that their cam dont work any more. were they real soldiers from iraq and if you could tell me if they are allowed to come on the net as i think its breaching military rules. one other thing, thier rifles were just to shiney very shiney does that mean anything ? so were they real soldiers serveing in iraq?

In the United States, for the most part, it is illegal to get "high." Personally I don't think it should be legalized. I usually I have good backing to my reasons but I discovered that I don't have good arguments against it. I was having a debate with my buddy and he was questioning why it is illegal considering the following.

1) PERSONAL HEALTH: All have negative health affects. Considering alcoholics, heavy cigarette smokers, and frequent marijuana users, which one of those most frequent health problems on the highest percentage? Consider an overdose on any of them. Consider factors such as those that share factors such as memory loss.

2) HARM TO OTHERS: I'm pretty sure that alcohol's got them all beat. I'm not so sure on a percentage basis. Second hand smoke?

3) MEDICINAL USE: I don't remember the last time someone got recommended booze or cigarettes from the doctor. Why not?

Can anyone think of GOOD reasons why we shouldn't decriminalize it or just criminalize them all?

I just read this article: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13435638/

My suspicions lead me to believe that these dogs not only are trained to sniff narcotics but also large amounts of cash. Has anyone had experience declaring large amounts of cash with US Customs. For legal reasons, of course...

As one who finds America's politics fascinating from afar, seems to me that we'll be starting to see stirrings of a presidential campaign this time next year as Bush gets ready to leave the White House. If you're Michael Moore, its a good thing...Rush Limbaugh, its not...but that's not what I'm asking. Who are the future candidates for the next election and, perhaps, 2012 as well?

Problem is that my siblings don't get on with each other and two have lived and continue living free off my mother's property, one of them is the administrator of the estate. Mother did not leave a will. Others are losing out and have lost out for past 14 yrs. The two occupiers will not budge, will not discuss, being absolute ********s.
I can't afford hefty solictors bills on my own, do you have any suggestions please? There are five children involved. I am fed up with this situation. Appreciate your thoughts and thanks in advance

Can someone guide me what exactly I need to do now?
Is notice of entry a formal document?
