Politics & Government - 19 January 2007

I sent the American Embassy in Mexico the Petition for Alien Relative, I-130 paperwork at the end of November and they´re insisting to me that they never received it, even though I sent it via package service and the package service confirmed delivery. So my paperwork with sensitive SSN info, a cashier´s cheque and other personal info is either sitting on someone´s desk collecting dust or wound up in the trash bin somehow. Can I take legal action against the Embassy, or am I just going to have to re-file? Someone has to be made responsible for losing this sensitive info and wasting my time and money!

Today I heard on the news that a state in the US is banning smoking in vehicles when there is a minor (under 18) in the car. I think this is great! I heard that people are opposed to it saying it infringes on basic human rights. What about the rights of the children, many of whom cannot even speak? Don't get me wrong and think I am picking on the smoker's either, cause I smoke. But, I think a law like this has been a long time coming. What do you think???

Someone took our company to small claims court, we showed up, they didn't, and the case was dismissed. I'd like to be prepared for what could happen now. Anyone know what course of action they can take?

"AgJOBS" amnesty legislation that would provide amnesty to 3 million illegal aliens was re-introduced in the Senate and House by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) (Bill # S. 237) and Rep. Howard Berman (D-CA) (Bill # H.R. 371).

Wow. Nice to see the Democrats spent their 1st "100 Hours" taking care of the American people. Now more mexicans can take what were once union jobs.

For those of you too "click weary" I'll post the first paragraph here to give you an idea of what this is about:

"Canadian children are being exposed to far too much violence in music lyrics, video games and on television and need to be protected by laws similar to those that restrict the sale of tobacco to minors, a coalition of teachers and parents said Wednesday."

I mean, really, could we not just as easily declare a war on rudeness?
How did the other wars against unnamed foes end? The war on poverty? The war on Drugs? Every country has potential terrorists living within. Does a war on terror give us a right to run roughshod over the world cramming democracy down the throats of those who don't know what is good for them?

Why is it every time I try to just discuss political topics with a liberal, they will not even listen to hard facts. Sure they listen to something a no-name blogger posted on the web, but facts and statistics they generally ignore. (for instance)The main point most of them bring up is they dont like the president because he is a horrible speaker. Adolf Hitler was one of the best speakers the world have ever seen, would you vote for him if he was running against Bush?

marine corps doctrine or army amphibious warfare tactics. in what ways would the landings on normandy would be more efffective if it was done in this day and age? what lessons we learned in normandy? final question, is an amphibious operation of that size considered obsolete because nowadays we use small unit raids or an amphibious operation of that magnitude is still feasible?

Don’t you understand we need a 2 party system to keep things in balance?
You can not be liberal with funds and still keep a country running.
Because you hate war, you’re not thinking rationally. On September 12th, everyone in this country was ready to get a gun and go to war.
Although there is no "direct" connection between Sept. 11th and Iraq, you must remember, Iraq would not allow the UN to inspect in certain parts of the country. They were giving warning after warning after warning. We took out many sick twisted people.
By withdrawing from Iraq now would null the efforts of our soldiers and make the lives that were lost meaningless.
John Kerry and the Dems saw the same intelligence that President Bush did. They all said lets go!
So, those of you calling for an impeachment of President Bush, please write your senator or congressman that said go and ask them to resign or you will vote to have them impeached.
I love my country and I support my President whether their name i

I work for a guy who's wife adds up the hours we clock in for. I can clock in from 10:47 a.m. until 2:13 p.m. and she figures my hours as being from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m., so I lose 26 minutes of pay. Which their time clock isn't even on right time. I can go to work and clock in at 10:41 on my cell phone, 10:41 according to the clock at work, and the time clock will say it's 11:46. I also write down the exact time I clock in and out every day. Last year I lost about 60 hours, I've lost more than 5 already this year. She keeps claiming that it is legal for her to round to the quarter hour she choses and has called me a liar and told me I have no clue what I am talking about. I got so mad about it that I actually got in a screaming match with her and walked out and quit for about six months. But I went back because I've known him for years and other than the fact that I get screwed on hours I love my job. I just want a way to prove I'm right so I get paid right.

Read this story:

I find it infuriating that a convicted first-degree murderer is being rewarded in this manner. Evidently the only thing he has to pay for is his Pimp Daddy clothes. My reward for doing things right, as someone who didn't have mommy & daddy put me through college, was that I had to work full time to cover room & board, and I have a decade of student loan payments to look forward to.

Should Society be responsible for doing this? Will he even appreciate it, and does he have any respect or consideration for those that support him at the expense of their own families?

saw a question earlier on who is the most dangerous person on the planet , 5 or 6 said the president of IRAN WTF????? BS .

the CIA has said iran will not have capabilites to make nuclear weapons for 10 years and even if they did have these capabilities (which they dont) and they attacked they would be wiped off the map in seconds its not an option for them in any way .

also if they were going into iraq which is probably more propaganda , why would that be an excuse to attack them ???? praps selling there oil in euros has more to do with it .

heres the question , do you personally fall for the propaganda ?

and for those that say im a liberal or what ever bullshit the left and rights a joke its about right and wrong.

An unpaid child support judgment, rendered in favor of the first wife, or a later judgment in favor of the second wife? The second wife was still legally married to the defendant, although there was a separation agreement. The defendant is now deceased. Which might hold more weight, the order (age) of the judgments, or the marital status of each plaintiff? The estate is not large enough to honor/pay either of the judgments in full. Would one preclude the other, or would the court look to apportion an amount to each judgment?
