It was in the paper and the article was printed for terrorists and gave the details on how and where to set off a dirty bomb that would score the most kills. Why don't New Yorkers run them out of your city? A ballet to sales tax that newspaper $10.00 a copy should work. they are a disgrace to your city and our country.

If someone was not charged/convicted for a violent crime committed before he or she was an adult, Is he or she qualified to serve in Law Enforcement if he or she answers "yes" to doing so during a polygraph?

(he or she has not been convicted of any felony, and did not commit any criminal activity as an adult)

Nearly everywhere I go on the Internet, I hear people complain about British politics or the politics of their home nation.
That is their right, their freedom and I am not going to attack that. Never.
However, that is what most people just do. Complain. Some complaints are so vicious I find myself thinking "why bother?"
If some of these people are so fed-up, why are they sitting at home doing nothing?
Democracy gives them a chance to vote in and vote out governments. If people actually voted and took time to look behind the smoke-screen then half the problems would just go.
Democracy allows people to organise their own political parties, get elected either on a national or local level and actually changes things for the better.
So, my question to everyone, both complainers and non-complainers:

If you're really that fed-up and annoyed with how things are where you live, why do you not do something about it and either vote or get yourselves elected and do things properly?

Lets say a group of older teenagers bullied a younger child into doing something dangerous. Lets say he died (but that was not their intention) and one of them (lets call him Fred) tried to save him but was to late. If they where put to court, what is the most likely thing they would get charged with? Would Fred get off any easier or would he be charged the same as his friends? What do you think would happen to the group of teenagers?

When in other countries if a fixed penalty is issued very rarely is there a complaint here it is:

The Policeman didn't have anything better to do

The Camera should not have been there

There was no sign to say I couldn't

I was only in there 5 mins

I was only doing 4 miles over the limit

The supermarket make it so easy

He shouldn't have left it there

There was nothing else to do

Most real criminals have a saying:

"If you cant accept the time don't commit the crime'

GET REAL !!

But in May I would like to go to America again and stay for 3 months.What should I say to the officer to prove that I have no intentions to overstay my visa? The fact that I have a American boyfriend can make they think I will overstay?

As far as i know Sadaam has nothing to do with Alqaeda, he just made his people suffered for alond time but Hillery Clinton has a different point of view!!
Hillery Clinton summarized Saddam's relationship with 9/11 best ..
In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock (((WHICH NO ANYONE FOUND OR WILL FIND BECAUSE NOTHING EXIST))), his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members ((((SO BOTH PARTIES IRAQ AND IRAN WHICH ARE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE SUPPORTING THE SAME ALQAEDA GROUP!! DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENCE)))). It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."

When it comes to Bush in general and Iraq specifically, are conservatives:
a) ignorant
b) blind
c) stupid

You can choose multiple answers if you feel they apply.

Conservatives remind me of the worm squirming on a fish hook or the little kid who knows he's been busted. You know, the kind that tries to stutter an excuse or point at the other kids and say it was their fault (watch how many blame Clinton for everything).

I'm in the Army and I've often wondered why the Marines' Officer ranks are the same as ours even though the Marines fall under the Dept. of the Navy (why don't they just call a Marine Corps Colonel a Captain, etc.).

Interesting story. Nike, one of the many US corporations who no longer hires American workers to make their products, is portrayed as "doing the right thing" by pulliing out of a contract to make soccer balls in Kashmir, where they pay workers $100/month, because children are also found doing the work. My question is, are they doing the right thing by going overseas for cheap labor in the first place?
