I am not a registered voter yet as I missed the date to apply for the election card. Is it possible that someone can illegally include me the voters list and use the vote that I am entitled to? Why arent voters cards issued all through the year instead of just before the elections?

Being originally from KS, and having met Brownback several times, wouldn't electing him be the equivalent of electing Pat Robertson, Jerry F., Jesse Jackson, or Rush Lamebaugh?

Can a repair shop keep your car and charge you storage and they could not fix the problem,then take your tag off the car and say you have abandon your car?What can we do time is running out. The story is my Son had it towed to the repair shop by the same repair shop and then was told that it could not be fixed. When he went to pick up the car he was told that they were charging towing and repairs.They said they could not fix it and was never sent anything in writing to this effect.Now they have taken the tag off the car and said he abandoned the car which is not true. He has been trying to work with the owner. The owner says he wants all fees for storage ,attempted repair,and towing, and if he does not get it he is going to put the car up as abandon because of non payment of his services. Is this legal and what can be done? Please help time is running out.What are the laws in Georgia. Thanks

If Saddam is a murderer and murdered thousands in Halabja, what about J.W.Bush? What about the 655 thousand Iraqis which have been killed? I'm not a fan of Saddam or any other Arab ruler, they're all a bunch of thieves and mass murderers, but so is Bush, and so is the French when their troops killed a million souls in Algeria. What I can say for Saddam is that what ever his mistakes were, going to war twice with fellow Islamic countries, Iraq during his ruling had strong and was unified, no comparison with the destruction that is happening now there, and don't say it's the Iraqis or it's Iran or any of this non sense, they existed during Saddam's ruling and still Iraq was unified Shia'at and Sunna, if u know what that is, and Iraq had nuclear scientists and was a major Arab power, yes I am an Arab, and we do have problems in our countries but we don't need the marines invading our countries pretending to solve it while the real reason is steeling our resources, ask what happened to 23 billion dollars that were in the Iraqi treasury when the invasion occurred, the current government which non of us REAL Arabs respect or trust by the way receiver only 3 billions. And what happened to politics, isn't the right way to change a regime is to use politics, doesn’t your own government withdrew its claims about nuclear weapons! And why Israel should have nuclear weapons and not Iran or Iraq and north Korea ? So we can't defend our selves against your invasions? I have no compassion for Saddam but I morn the ethics that the Americans murdered by killing a Moslem on the morning of an Islamic Feast, they slaughter sheep u slaughter turkeys, and I sympathize for both, for all the victims of brutality and non compassion and lack of understanding between each other or even bothering to. Read and do not surrender to Western and American Media, most of it feed you lies.

Ok, I've been dating this girl that is 15 for two months now, and her parents have forbid it from day one. I'm seventeen, and we are almost exactly two years apart within a week.

Yesterday I got a call from her, but surprise surprise, it was her mom, and they found out that we were seeing each other. To say she was pissed was an understatement. She's threatening me with all kinds of crap, which I don't think she can back up. First they say if I don't stay away from her they can charge me with statutory rape, which first of all, we haven't done anything, and second of all, if I understand the oklahoma rape laws, adolescents may consent with adolescents, as we are now, and a 16 year old can consent with a legal adult, which I will be, but she'll be 16 a week after I am.
