I want to know if you think that it is a waste of money for the royal family to be totally supported by the people of Great Britain.

when I watch cops on tv they always tell a suspect to lay on the ground and when he does they run over and squish his head with their knee and tell them to stop resisting. Maybe if you weren't squishing their heads they wouldn't resist

I come from a nation that has three major parties and two minor parties all holding seats in the house of commons. I see the benefits of a stong opposition working for the poeple everyday. I amd interested to know how a two party system works, more specifically when both the house and senate are in a majority position.

We shouldn't be there. Maybe if the Dems and Press was strong enough to stand up to Bush before the war, we wouldn't be there. But the fact is that we are there, and if we leave, the Shi'ia are going to grind the Sunnis into the ground on a scale even more massive than the number that Saddam did on them. We broke it and we need to fix it. Maybe getting Iran and Syria into the picture as the ISG suggested would help. Maybe we need to partition the place and stay until all three groups have secure nations with equally divided resources. It might sound callous, but the loss of American troops that we would have to endure would be miniscule in comparison to the loss of life should we up and leave.

In 2004,my son was taken from me and placed in a foster home.I've been paying child support since,and the mother has never payed a dime.In Nov. 2005,the mother was placed in a state hospital group home by a judge for her mental problems.In Feb. 2006,the court refused me custody,and terminated my parental rights.My son is developmentally delayed,doesn't speak,and has autism.Their decision to terminate my rights were based on the belief that I,being a single parent to him,would not be physically and emotionally capable of meeting his special needs...doctors visits, therapy/learning classes,etc. They felt that with my job and hours,that I would be too stressed out to be there for him.
So,if my parental rights were terminated in Feb. 2006,and have not been allowed to see him since because they also terminated the right to have visits,why am I still obligated to pay support?Isn't it the courts problem to pay the foster parents now and am I entitled to receive monies paid since Feb. 2006?

This is purely hypothetical. (Please do not give political or personal rant!) If the President of the US gets mentally unstable, in the extreme - irrational - to the extent that the President's actions pose an imminent threat to the nation, say, within moments or hours, and if the President refuses to admit that irrationality, then who, if anyone, has the *legal* power to determine that disability (in time to avoid the threat) and who, if anyone, has the *legal* power to take *legal* action, if any (in time to avoid the threat), and what *legal* action may they take (in time to avoid the threat)? (My question is inspired by the TV series 24/7, in case you've seen it...)

Why should the United States be allowed to exist when its leadership does not love abortion? Abortion has always been the mark of a great nation. Don't you agree?

I mean who would sue you google or yahoo?

also these companies seem very vigilant about their trademarks,
but both these words ('google' and 'yahoo') were actually in usage before they came along!
Are yahoo going to claim they own every domain with the word yahoo in it?!

Why are so many people STILL in denial about how bad Iraq is? They come out with slogans like, "fight them over there or fight them on our streets". That is the stupidest slogan. The Iraqi insurrgents aren't going to come over here. Al-Quada is in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Also, one thousand of the troops for the US 'surge' are coming from Afghanistan! How freakin stupid is that!

Wake up people.

I live in the city of New York were parking is almost non existant, I parked in what I thought was a legal parking space, which turned out to be a Bus Stop, but the sign was not present. I thought that taking pictures of the area would be enough, but I was found guilty, but later reversed on appeal. The officer who issued the summons continued to issue summones to vehicles parked in that space as I later found out through FOIL (Freedom of information) I spent a considerable amount of time and effort defending the violation, because of the officer and the first judge who acted with malice when he found me guilty of the violation. Can I sue to recover the cost of defending the parking violation?

Does anyone know if it's legal for a private landlord to request 6 months worth of rent in advance in Scotland??

It was stated on the original tenancy agreement, but its pretty imoral, if you ask me and hugely annoying!

President Colin Powell met today with ambassadors from China and Mexico who peresented their grievances about the number on plant closings in their countries due to jobs returning to the USA. President Powell promised to look into aid packages for those countries but stated, "Don't hold your breath."
President Powell announced he will be vacationing in Iraq this year. After only two years since his bringing a hault to hostilities in Iraq, the country has become the vacation capital of the world.
