The lowest driving age in the US is 14. In my opinion that is a little extreme. I think the legal driving age in Virginia should be lowered from 16 and 3 months to 15 and 6 months. Right now in the US legal driving ages range from 14 to 18. That is not fair for the 18 year olds. They would be going into college or a new work environment not being an experienced driver. In my opinion the driving age should be all the same in the continental US being 15 for learners permit and 15 and 6 months for driver’s license. In other areas it should be lowered or raised depending on the region.
The first major reason the driving age should be lowered is that it would make teenagers more responsible. In my experience it would have helped if I had a license to do things such as get a job. Many times teens want money, so what’s a better way than to earn it? The problem with that is most parents work too, so there wouldn't be a ride for the teen. Another reason is they could help out with errands like running little brothers or sisters around, or going to the store. Responsibility is absent in many teens, and it would be raised earlier in life if teens had the chance to deal with “the real world.”
One key point that critics make is that teens are reckless, and hostile with road rage. They make teens sound like animals, or criminals. In reality most teens are very conscientious about road safety and care about others safety as well as their own. There are, in some cases, instances where underage drinking and drugs play a part in wrecks. But just because some teens make bad decisions doesn’t mean all should be punished.
While on the topic of drugs and drinking, most students get into that after school, when parents are late to pick them up. If they had a car, they’d be less tempted to get into that. Lowering the driving age would also help the students academically. I know many students who can’t stay after school because of lack of a ride. Tutoring and sports are essential to being a “well rounded student.”
In conclusion, lowering the driving age would raise responsibility, grades, and college acceptance. Teens are used to high priced living, and more are failing to take life seriously. Driving will help them see how a split second decision can change your life for the better, or the worse.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
I own a home based business, and many times I will go out and try and sell some of my products. I don't push my products, meaning I don't "force" anyone to buy. I have a problem with a liqour store owner. He comes out and states, I can't sell my products in the strip shop complex. The liqour store is ONE of the businesses operating w/in this shopping complex. Does he have the right to tell me I can't sell there? However none of the other biz owners bother me, some even ask what is selling? Do tell.

My wife signed up to go to the Army so we could be together making a lot of money, but decided she didn't want to be apart form me for up to a year while she is in basic and AIT. She told the recruiters and they threatened her with jail time and a fine. If she swore in and everything, but changes her mind before going into basic training, there is no problem with her not going is there? Please state your references and/or sources, we want to be 100% sure when we talk to the recruiters.

America is the richest nation in the world, yet we only pay only workers a minimum wage of $5.15 an hour! no other industrialized nation in the world pays so low. France pays approximately $10.80 an hour (and yes, thats in american dollars,) ireland pays $11.25, the United Kingdom pays $10.00. does this not bother anybody? why are we so low? and dont say it will ruin our economy. none of those countries listed above have low standards of living or high levels of poverty. dont you think its just greedy, corporate america that doesnt want to lose some of their billions of dollars worth of profit?

Why not spread the troops out in a line across the desert, put up post to check those coming out of the area, and sweep through in direct lines and clear the path to victory?
Clear the town and villages, and anyone left will be arrested or killed if they become violent.
After the clearing, take all weapons out, let the people back in after checking them for weapons, post gaurds at the perimeter, and move on to the next one.

I went for my H-1 stamping to India in in Dec 2006 but while entering the US, the immigration officer noted that my passport was expiring in august 2007 so he gave me an I-94 till Aug even though my visa is valid till sept 2009. HE said I could go to an immigration office here and get it extnded once I get my new passport. I have a new passport now but what is the procedure for this?
Can I go to Canada and when returning get a new I-94?
Thanks

taxes on their earnings, apply for Dr. Lic., get insurance, obey the laws but where not given citizenship ...workers program kinda thing, would this work? Also, no anchor babies or citizenship without getting in line like all others. Does this make sense?
You get your work, you obey the law, you don't get paid any wage other than what the employers agree to pay you and in essence you compete with Americans ...as we all do with each other.
Otherwise, out you go. Thoughts?
