Politics & Government - 30 November 2006

Knowing the government we have it is obvious that road tolls will not be cheap. Most other countries apply small tolls which the motorist does not mind paying - here in the Uk we will be paying many dearly to use the roads.

Will this really work?

Will motorists rebel?

Will this be Blairs Poll Tax and force the Labour governemnt back to where it should be in opposition?

Here is a great idea for all motorists:

Lets all stop using our cars on Monday morning and go stand at a bus stop like the government want us to do. This will:

Bring the country to standstill.

Lose millions in fuel tax revenue for Browns party.

BUT we would all be living in a Green UK.

So Will this stupid idea of road tolls work in the UK?

The simple fact of the Iraq war is twofold. It is the terrorist thing but also it's energy. Energy means oil. The supper you ate tonight came to the store in a truck that ran on diesel fuel. Suppose you went to the store and the shelves were bare like in Russia? Their crops rot in the fields because of lack of transportation. Also the keyboard you sit at is made from oil, as are the clothes on your back. The world depends on it to keep order and keep fed. What we are doing is keeping order in a vital part of the planet. Think of how the cops kick in the door of a house in a crack neighborhood and set up a police station. The other crack houses don't like it, they may even shoot back but over time the neighborhood slowly turns around. The house next door gets a new coat of paint and better tenants. The house next to it has its value go up. Order is maintained. If it is not maintained in the place that makes it possible for us all to EAT... Well hungry people get awful mean, don't they?

Could anyone help me out by telling me the exact laws, as well as any exemptions from the law, about the rights of a Pennsylvania citizen during a traffic stop (whether it be a traffic violation or some other reason)?

i work in a small residential home and most of the staff smoke. The bosses have tried to implement a no-smoking policy but when they are out of the building everyone lights up. I came on duty the other night and three of them had been smoking, it met me like a cloud (it was like a pub). One of the residents has a bad chest due to his medical condition, what are the laws on private residentail homes, does anyone know. Sorry if you are a smoker, i used to be one to, but i feel there is a time and a place for everything.

Hundreds of people may have been killed in the heaviest fighting between northern Sudanese forces and their former southern rebel foes since they signed a peace deal last year, a top southern officer said on Thursday.

In Nigeria's capital Abuja, the African Union decided to extend for six months the mandate of its peacekeeping force in Sudan's western Darfur region, where a separate conflict has killed an estimated 200,000 people since early 2003.

Why do the government forces kill so many?

How is the government financing the war?

What foreign governments are supporting this?

What foreign governments are opposing this?

The pastoralist need the land for grazing.
The farmers need the land for growing crops.

Is it just a question fo feeding the nation?

It has been proved time and again that if a piece of land is used for growing crops it will support more humans than if it's used for rearing cattle for the meat. Most Asian countries flourish just on vegetarian food and some fish.

My home was surrounded by numerous police officers, no search warrant, they came in full force without my consent they started shining red lights on my ceilings and walls as well as the outside of the house. They all had there guns drawn inside and outside. Finally the deputy in charge showed me a pawnslip from the pawn shop with my signature on it, I had signed the pawnslip 7 months prior for a friend who had no I.D. I was arrested for unlawful possession of a firearm because 16 years ago I had a felony on my record. I was never told I could not be around firearms, and the gun was never in my possession. I talked to another owner of a pawnshop who looked up my name and he could not find my name anywhere on the database. The deputy in charge told me he knew I had done nothing wrong but if I dont tell him what he wants me to say then he has the power and authority to take away my freedom. on the way to the jail the officer slammed his brakes and I lost my front tooth on impact.

Risking his life and members of the public including childen.
Why does the government allow this? Why not a lifetime ban from driving. The simple answer must be that the government is prepared to except murder in order to make money. Leaving lives devestated and destroyed by a minority of ignorant young people. What do you think?

I know that there was a case in Scotland recently where prisoners were compensated for having to slop out (go to toilet in pots when locked up) in their cells. Just wondering what the situation is now? It still happens in Ireland - I had to do this when I was in prison recently - and there was no compensation over here. It is amazing that people still have to do this these days.

Should our bills be printed in different size or have some marking that allow blinds to tell which is 1, 5, 10, 20... etc? Or is that too expensive and impractical?
