Watching the news this evening about the big operation which netted 230 here in Minnesota and I'm thinking are these people dangerous, what's the threat they are imposing on the rest of America. There were of course mistakes made and a few citizens were taken away that were released later

Personally I believe there are better places that money and resources could have been utilized instead of this multi-state operation that sends 1230 Mexicans back home.
The following story was about this African American individual who has been assaulting women in Saint Cloud, MN then driving them to Minneapolis and forcing the to use their ATM cards (That’s how we know the individual race from the camera at the ATM) He beat them to the point of being hospitalized. Why don’t we round up this guy and his gang banging buddies and send them back to Africa. That would at least keep our streets safer

Here in the US, are muzzle loaders considered firearms? I've been told by several Law Enforcement officials that these types of guns are considered 'antiques' and do not follow the same guidelines as cartridge guns. But, I've heard several conflicting answers. Felons are not allowed to own or possess any type of firearm.

I know of someone that has a DWI Felony and owns several muzzle loaders, but he has been told that he cannot own a cartridge gun (his cartridge guns were confiscated, but not the muzzle loaders). I know of another that has a Non-payment of Child Support Felony and he is prevented from owning any type of gun (including muzzle loaders).

I have also been told that if you own a single shot or revolver cap and ball type of handgun, you don't need a carrying permit. I do have a permit to carry my cap and ball revolver. Because when it is in my holster, you cannot tell what type of gun it is.

These are just some questions that I have and would like to learn more.

in my opinion, its the battle of longewala
it was fought between indian and pakistani forces in the 1971 war
basically about 5000 pakistanis supported by about a hundred tanks attempted to overrun a small outpost manned by an odd company of about 120 soldiers....
by the next morning though only three of the indians had died while the pakistanis had suffered heavy casualties
then by dawn the air force was able to come and destroyed about sixty tanks, resulting in the largest tank loss to any country (pakistan) after world war two...
oh yah and by the way it was an indian victory
oh well thats my opinion time to hear yours

Whose fault was it that these people, who were illegal, had jobs? The people at Swift will argue all day long that the workers had legal documentation, but they had to know. How else would they be able to hire them for less wages then their union counterparts in the same plant. This wasn't just a one plant occurence, it was prevalent in six different states!!! You can't tell me that management is that stupid.

Do you believe on the United Nations as arbiter in resolving conflicts?
Do you believe that the UN is effective in this role?. If not why?.
Do you think that UN resolutions are favorable to some nations but unfair for others?.
Do you think that small and poor nations are well reprented in the UN's decision making?.
Do you agree that small nations should have the same veto power as big nations?.
If something need to be re-organized in the UN's structure to be more effective, can you mention some of them?.

Basically. Was very drunk following row with husband. Stormed into town. This man appeared out of nowhere. talked me into getting into a cab with him. Arrived at a house was given a very very strong drink. Remember nothing after about three quarters of an hour. Remember leaving and him calling a cab and pressing £10 into my hand for the cab. Got home, discovered it was 7 hours after the time I had left - no recollection. Was very bruised and split 'inside'. Discovered 'stains' on my trousers. Next day - realised my wallet was missing from my bag. 2 days later, banged into the guy in the street - he actually turned on his heel AND RAN.

Yes, I'm going for STI checks. Please don't bother with hatemail - I hate myself enough. - do you think there was foul play?

Hold on, bear with me.
Keith Ellison, Minnesota Democrat has become the first Muslim elected to the US Congress. He has announced that he will hold his hand on the Koran when he takes his oath of office in January instead of the Christian Bible. I guess since the Islamic religion is what he truly believes in, so be it.

Here is a list of just a "few" of the crimes this President has committed....Can you name anymore? Or just leave comment. Thank you!

1) Seizing power to wage wars of aggression in defiance of the U.S. Constitution, the U.N. Charter and the rule of law; carrying out a massive assault on and occupation of Iraq, a country that was not threatening the United States, resulting in the death and maiming of hundereds of thousands of Iraqis, and thousands of U.S. G.I.s.

2) Lying to the people of the U.S., to Congress, and to the U.N., providing false and deceptive rationales for war.

3) Authorizing, ordering and condoning direct attacks on civilians, civilian facilities and locations where civilian casualties were unavoidable.

4) Instituting a secret and illegal wiretapping and spying operation against the people of the United States through the National Security Agency.


5) Threatening the independence and sovereignty of Iraq by belligerently changing its government by force and assaulting Iraq in a war of aggression.

6) Authorizing, ordering and condoning assassinations, summary executions, kidnaping, secret and other illegal detentions of individuals, torture and physical and psychological coercion of prisoners to obtain false statements concerning acts and intentions of governments and individuals and violating within the United States, and by authorizing U.S. forces and agents elsewhere, the rights of individuals under the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Eighth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

7) Making, ordering and condoning false statements and propaganda about the conduct of foreign governments and individuals and acts by U.S. government personnel; manipulating the media and foreign governments with false information; concealing information vital to public discussion and informed judgment concerning acts, intentions and possession, or efforts to obtain weapons of mass destruction in order to falsely create a climate of fear and destroy opposition to U.S. wars of aggression and first strike attacks.

8) Violations and subversions of the Charter of the United Nations and international law, both a part of the "Supreme Law of the land" under Article VI, paragraph 2, of the Constitution, in an attempt to commit with impunity crimes against peace and humanity and war crimes in wars and threats of aggression against Afghanistan, Iraq and others and usurping powers of the United Nations and the peoples of its nations by bribery, coercion and other corrupt acts and by rejecting treaties, committing treaty violations, and frustrating compliance with treaties in order to destroy any means by which international law and institutions can prevent, affect, or adjudicate the exercise of U.S. military and economic power against the international community.

9) Acting to strip United States citizens of their constitutional and human rights, ordering indefinite detention of citizens, without access to counsel, without charge, and without opportunity to appear before a civil judicial officer to challenge the detention, based solely on the discretionary designation by the Executive of a citizen as an "enemy combatant."

10) Ordering indefinite detention of non-citizens in the United States and elsewhere, and without charge, at the discretionary designation of the Attorney General or the Secretary of Defense.

11) Ordering and authorizing the Attorney General to override judicial orders of release of detainees under INS jurisdiction, even where the judicial officer after full hearing determines a detainee is wrongfully held by the government.

12) Authorizing secret military tribunals and summary execution of persons who are not citizens who are designated solely at the discretion of the Executive who acts as indicting official, prosecutor and as the only avenue of appellate relief.


13) Refusing to provide public disclosure of the identities and locations of persons who have been arrested, detained and imprisoned by the U.S. government in the United States, including in response to Congressional inquiry.

14) Use of secret arrests of persons within the United States and elsewhere and denial of the right to public trials.

15) Authorizing the monitoring of confidential attorney-client privileged communications by the government, even in the absence of a court order and even where an incarcerated person has not been charged with a crime.

16) Ordering and authorizing the seizure of assets of persons in the United States, prior to hearing or trial, for lawful or innocent association with any entity that at the discretionary designation of the Executive has been deemed "terrorist."

17) Engaging in criminal neglect in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, depriving thousands of people in Louisiana, Mississippi and other Gulf States of urgently needed support, causing mass suffering and unnecessary loss of life.

18) Institutionalization of racial and religious profiling and authorization of domestic spying by federal law enforcement on persons based on their engagement in noncriminal religious and political activity.

19) Refusal to provide information and records necessary and appropriate for the constitutional right of legislative oversight of executive functions.
