Yesterday someone posted a question in which she described how legal immigration affected the United States. Her argument was that if immigration kept its current increase numbers, then by year 2030 the population would triple and that this would cause America to be a third world country. I have a problem with this, since I am a legal immigrant myself. What is your opinion?

in the past years, so if a person came in illegal 5 years ago, and the laws changed to include a felony charge years later, how can that charge be put on a person that wasn't even here at the time the law changed,further more to have this felony charge added to your history should be illegal, and if immigration is unlawfully allowed to bar a person from reentery into the USA for 10 years based on this felony charge, INS is showing they think they are above the laws that give us all fair treatment, most laws not at the level of a felony charge are settled by paying a fine, which would seam in order in the case of this person coming into the USA before the laws changed to include the felony charge, this person left the USA without force,no deportation took place,been in mexico 1 year, what ground does the INS have to inflicked anything on this person or refuse reentery on an approved I-130 petition wife of a US citizen, i would like to know my legal right as the husband.??? thank you

I mean, we have not screamed DIEBOLD!

Oh, and I am not sour over the elections, but it is funny to read that as the reason that i say things.

But if it makes you happy that the reason for everything conservatives do, is because of the elections, then well, ok

I went to my sister-in-laws mother's house last weekend. This house was amazing...seriously it's a 1.3 million dollar home....

Can I just move in with her?

Well this is my reasoning...

It's a 4 bedroom home...3 of which are spare bedrooms...so to say the least...there is more than enough room...
It's in an awesome school district...I think that my son deserves a better education than the one he is currently receiving...
The crime rate in that area is pretty much nil...so I am only trying to move my son into a better neighborhood.
Their fridge was packed...and I mean with real good food...I really do want my son to eat better..not that he is starving now...but I really want the best for him. (Plus with as much money as they have...I don't think they would notice the added expense)

I was just thinking about that while I was there...

I would really appreciate some advice from a few experienced drivers on how they judge the true speed limit on UK roads, so that I don't find out the hard way.

I am 22 and have only had my license for 2 months - passed first time with just a couple of minors. I'm good at reading hazards before they arise and i'm very considerate of other road users.

I prefer to drive fast when it's safe, but how far can I bend the rules before I break them? In a 30 zone, people are doing 35-40, in a 40 zone they are doing 45-55... how do you know when you are going too fast? is getting caught speeding just pot luck?

Also, when there are no cars at all on a motorway, how fast can I go? Usually when it's empty i break 100 until i see the next car in the distance then slow down to an appropriate speed when overtaking. What are the odds of getting caught doing this? Perhaps a tad philosophical,but if i'm driving safely with no other cars for miles, should it matter one iota if i'm doing 60 or 120?

As an ex con, I can speak from experience. Prison is far to soft and so therefore not a deterent. Cells have Curtains, Carpets, TV with Sky, Playstation, Kettle. Access to Microwave & Grill during assocciation time. Prisoners can wear their own clothing. Can spend £30 per week on shopping. I say prison should be a room, with a bed, a table and chair, and thats your lot. No TV, No Radio, No Shopping, Nothing but 23 hours a day bang up. 1 hours excersize, so long as the weather is good. The food should be basic, all priviedges withdrawn and lets get it back to basics. If its made a long horrible drawn out affair, then it becomes a deterent, a place people don't want to go to. Our Prison system needs a total overall, as they are all rife with drugs, bent officers & large amounts of violence that gets brushed under the carpet, so as not to affect that prisons statistics for the end of year report. What do you think our prisons should be like?

I was simply thinking of Muhammad versus Jesus. Jesus used nonviolent practices to liberate his followers while Muhammad used violent means. Then there is all the war today, so I just started wondering is all.

office who didn't want to start wars in foreign lands and send thousands of young men/women to die for other countries' freedoms, and if we had a government who minded its own business when it comes to the private affairs of its citizens and a government who only spent the money that was collected from taxes without borrowing any.

heres my story, i get to the mall at 4am and wait for 1hour in the front doors, when they opened at 5 i ran to the nearest game store and wait 3 hours more until 7am. When they opened there was 5 people in front of me, all buying a nintendo Wii, just like me. The Wii costs $270 including tax and i believed at that moment i have more than enough to buy one. In the shop, there is 7 that they are selling. I was buying the 6th one. so there are two lines and the 7th guy is buying the last wii. the guy who is selling my wii is counting my money, again and again and again.after the 5th time of counting he says i am $15 short. by now i am pretty much freakin out, but a few moments later some one agrees to give me money. but by then the other line already sold it to the 8th person in line. I left the shop and i counted my money to see if i really was short. and it turns out that i had $277! i went back to the shop and showed him my money but he says "how do i know you didnt switch the money?"
