Say if I smoke pot and engage in prostitution in Amsterdam where that is legal, when I come back to the US, can they still arrest me? Does this apply to all laws?

I have never met an american who thought too much of the politicians of today or many of them of the past. Yet I watch two parties predominantly manipulate the population term after term. I watch the television with disgust at the political banter and bashing. I watch as our conglomerate goverment pushes this country towards the brink. I watch the people around me and sense the discomfort and false sense of security. Even those who view life through rose tinted glasses are straining to put on that Oh everythings gonna be just fine face. Yet we vote more of these shallow gutless soothsayers into office all bent on succeeding at conning you. According to the numbers the votes the polls the news media this is what you want. Are we two faced? Publicly we admit the goverments gone bad but privately we are enjoying this like a sick jerry springer episode? The next president or the president after that when will we stand tall and say enough is enough?

I think I know the person that stole it. I have their name, phone number, and license plate number. Should I call them, call the police?
What should I do?

My mother was madly in love with an extremely abusive man. He beat me and my siblings badly. I have proof from the police but my mother wouldnt do anything about it. I have many witnesses and I feel like to move on with my life I need to take the step my mother never did and make this man responsible for all the traumatic things he did to us. I just really dont how to go about doing it. Is it even legal to still try and bring up a case?

I had lodged a police complain against cyber cire around three month back. I have received a letter saying I have won lot of money..and contact some one called Stew Williams. Mr Stew also called me on my reply. He directed me to deposit account activation fees in ICICI bank account number. I lodged a complain at once. I also told them the mobile number from where Mr. Stev called was from Nigeria. But the winning amount is from UK. Crime department only told me not to deposit money and they will not act further. I requested them that Stev is still in my contact.. They can trace him. But all in vain

i work also for the nhs and where i work we have just had a load of remoddeling etc and now there has been a meeting to decide our future one of the options and the most likely is, closure, i wanna know what the hell is going on. i feel they are creating a need for private hospitals they are getting the buildings ready so privatisation can just move in. what are your views

Crimes against humanity. The speaker of the House in 1857 said: I personally don't own a slave but I don't want to stop another for their legal right to own one. Yes slavery was legal then just as murdering a innocent child is now. Then the slavers said there would be no one to take care of these *******. They can't take care of themselves..same as today they say about children when there are waiting list for years of people wanting to adopt. The pro-slave people give the exact arguments then as the pro-aboration people give today. I would encourage to read the history of the pro-slave argument...you won't believe how the pro-aboration people have borrowed the same play book...you will be shocked! It's the same thing, blacks aren't real people...today: babies are real people. Do not be fooled twice...they same people in sheeps clothing are killing babies by the millions. DON'T allow history to repeat. Now read the answers how they will same it's not the same...they are liars!!

I ask because I am curious how many of those would support all Americans making between 40 and 60k. No less. No more.

Do you support the idea and if so why? I'm interested to see how many think we as a society have an obligation to all be the same.

My appartment in going to the birds, ever since i moved in its been one thing after another. The hot water tank busted, the racks in the closet fell, the washer and dryer werent working properly, the sink in the kitchen "fell out" cause it was not properly installed, and now ever since they installed a new garbage disposal in the sink, i have very very slow drainage. it was slow before, but its worse now. I turn it on and it shoots water in the air on the other side. Also the "new" thermostat that installed, 2 months ago is not working. The dishwasher is not bolted into the counters so it falls out if you dont hold it while loading, and its getting a lil cold in here cause the "new" thermostat isnt installed right. I know this is florida but it gets cold here sometimes. I've only told him over and over about it but obviously nothing is getting done. what should i do??

I've been invited to attend an introductory session [in 2 weeks time] for a Death Penalty Internship Programme to take place in the USA next year.The internship will involve “hands-on” exposure of legal work involving the common law system of the USA - criminal justice, medical law and human rights and the interns will be expected to work on: United States legal, research, manage case files, contribute to the briefs filed in state and federal
courts, interview witnesses and jurors in appeals cases and visit prisons, including death row.
The problem is that I really am quite amibivalent about the whole death penalty thing. If you are faced with a person who has killed someone and shows absolutely no remorse & indeed desires to kill again, a part of me feels that maybe this person shouldn't be on this earth. I am fully aware, however, that there are miscarriages of justice with innocent people being exectued all the time, but I wonder whether I would be disingenuous by applying?

If so, will they be any different than the "investigations" they conducted in the '70s, '80s, and '90?

You know, the ones where they parade the CEOs of The Evil Oil Companies before Congress while the pols preen, pontificate, and generally make asses of themselves and, when all is said and done, literally NOTHING comes of the "investigation".

The reason, of course, is that The Evil Oil Companies are in the business of taking a commodity, modifying it, and then selling it. They don't price fix, cheat on their taxes, rob their shareholders, or any of the other dastardly things that others of The Evil Corporations are always doing.

So, exactly WHY will the Dems be sponsoring "investigations" of The Evil Oil Companies as soon as possible?

who say that they only come here to work and support a family, deserving of rights, why is it that they can't do it the legal way (you know, stand in long INS lines and pay thousands of dollars toward the process)? Before you say they can;t afford it, take a look at this example:

Many would agree that there are some US citizens that are struggling to make ends meet every day, living from paycheck to paycheck with familes to support. Most of these Americans have cars, and in some states, are required to have car insurance as mandated by law. Since they are living from paycheck to paycheck, however, some can't afford to buy the required insurance (the decision they are faced with is usually pay the the insurance or pay the rent). Now if they are pulled over by a police officer, ticketed, appear in court, and tell the judge that they did not insurance because they could not afford it but they needed to drive the car so that they could keep their job, the judge will politely say that
