On a normal day, going through this intersection would have been a tough impulsive desicion. But the day I got my ticket, it was freezing and wet outside. The light turned yellow, but I wasn't about to hit the brakes and risk ending up in the intersection. I tried to tell this to the officer...but all he could say was "Maybe you should think about slowing down". By the way, I was going 30-35 in a 45mph zone. According to the officer, I ran the red light by 4 car lengths!!! I thought that this was rediculous, but I wasn't about to argue with someone who had legal authority over me. I plan to go to traffic court to fight the ticket, but I don't know how much leverage my story is to his "alleged" 4 car lengths. Do you have any suggestions???

True or False:

The fact that through much of its history the US has had many oppurtunities for economic expansion at home helped to make a policy of avoiding entangling alliances possible.

Here is a piece from an article on yahoo news posted 2 hours ago that has an excerpt from the new Secretary of Defense Robert Gates:

At one point Gates, just three weeks on the job, told lawmakers, "I would confess I'm no expert on Iraq." Later, asked about reaching the right balance between American and Iraqi forces, he told the panel he was "no expert on military matters."

My son fell and sprained his ankle while at school, He told 2 different teachers he was in pain, he was not allowed to see the nurse because she was leaving for another school a few minutes after the fall happened, I was not called. He had to walk on it for the rest of the day. I realize that it was just a sprain, no big deal. But wouldn't it be neglectful for a school, not to allow a child to receive medical attention, or contact their parents?

The honorable Reverand's Jackson and Sharpton are the leading advocates of the radical black equality movement. They are known as racists, long-winded, and privately corrupt.

However, it strikes me as funny that the Reverands have placed so much emphasis on both the inequality which slavery brought about and their faith.

You see these two men who greatly dislike the white man and demand reperations for slavery owe their very title of Reverand to their ancestor's masters. The Americas are only christian because of European conquest; and North American blacks because this was the religon of their owners. Otherwise they would either be tribal or have converted to Islam.

Do these facts fundamentally make the "Reverands" hypocrities?

It is waste of time & money during discussion in Rajyasabha. further, most of the members of Rajyasabha are not attending the sessions. More over it is a back door entry to the members who can not win in Loksabha which is misuse by political parties for majority.

When speaking to a magistrate do you address them as "Your honor" like a judge, sir/ma'am, or something else? Any help would be appreciated.

besides getting it on with an intern and lying about it (which is wrong and should never have happened), what exactly is it that makes republicans feel that clinton did a poor job?

i've seen many posts saying that Bush is "cleaning up the mess" that Clinton left. but, when he was in office, our standing was good within the world, jobs were up, and we had the biggest budget surplus in history.

what was it that he did wrong? republicans, serious answers please, i'm asking an honest question, and i'm young and only got into politics right after George W was elected.

Hurry before the big rush starts. And gals, better get that burqa now and avoid the rush. With America in full retreat from the war on terror it is only a matter of time before the jihadis will be here, gently converting us all to the religion of peace!

I'm going to ask random things and sorry for typos.

I heard that if you guys don't give out a few tickets than you can be fired or low pay.

Are you really honest all the time?


If you make an arrest, say for little things like J-Walking maybe....Do you have to go through a lot of BS like maybe finger printing the arrest guy and other crap?

I heard that you have to be in shape like all the time but how come I see some cop really out of shape. ARE THEY UNDERCOVER?

Last one!! I'm about 5'5 to 5'6 and weight right now 140lbs. Think I can make it as a police. What position fit me best?

Though America has the most powerful military force ever, its command structure is headed by a civillian; the Secretary of Defense. I know of some SecDefs being ex-military generals (like George Marshal)...but how could other civillians with little or even no military background lead the greatest military machine ever?

I could make a guess that the SecDef is a strategist only; with the tactics being in the hands of the 4-stars and 3-stars generals. Yet again, what are the functions of the Deputy SecDef, the Secretary of the Army, Sec of the Airforce and Sec of the Navy; along with their undersecretaries; provided that all are civillians????

I've even heard that the Pentagon has civillian police as part of the security policy due to the presence of myriads of civillians there!

I completely agree with the "civillian control over the military" statute...but is it practical and realistic? Or would consecutive military setbacks lead to a change within this policy?

They sneak an ammendment to a port security bill that outlaws online gambling. Now millions if not billions of Americans dollars are stuck in foreign offshore sportsbooks where we cannot use them or get them refunded. This extreme christianism is why I am denouncing my 34 years as a republican and will vote democrat from this day forth

anyway possible without a passport.? We just realized we can't apply for US passports for the infants (US citizens) since the State of California misspelled their mother's name the infant's birth certificate.

Ths State of California said it would take 7 months processing time to update and send the new certified birth certificate.

In the mean time, we can't apply for a US passport without the correct/updated birth certificate (with the mother's correct name)..

How can we get the infants to visit another country without a passport? It is an emergency....thanks
