Politics & Government - 24 January 2007

Say a Japanese or Chinese person robs a gas station in Japan or China, and the cops get a security tape with a clear view of the robber, how the hell do they identify the suspect? 90% of Japanese people look alike and 90% of Chinese people look alike. I bet people get locked up for stuff they didnt do all of the time.

Hi :)

I posted this question in both the immigration and the military forum because my question is kinda part of both categories.
My name is Drew and I came the United States when I was 6 years old. I grew up in US and I joined the U.S. Marine Corps when i was 18 years old. I have been a permanent resident for a 14 years, and I've been a Marine for 2 of them. Until recently I never bothered to become an official citizen because it wasn't a priority. Now I think I would like to become one, but I'm not sure how to go about it. I was planning to talk with my CO but it's currently 0200 where I am. I tried reading up on the USCIS website, but I don't really know how to find the information I'm looking for. I was told that since I'm a member of the U.S. military my process to become a citizen will take less time. Is this true? Anyways, Any information somebody could provide me would greatly be appreciated

Thx

Say a cop asked me where I was at a certain time. Could I tell him I was having sex with his mother? How much trouble would I get in?

Indian Muslims should realise the urgent need for integration in to the main stream to avoid further hatred and isolation. In fact, one can accept and even practice Hinduism and Islam simultaneously. After all God is neither a Muslim nor a Hindu. One should understand this simple truth.

If you're going to criticize his Iraq war strategy, then please let me hear yours. If you don't have one, then keep your mouth shut. And don't say pull out of Iraq, because that would be the biggest and stupidest mistake ever made.
If we pulled out, Iraq would go back to where it was before we wen't it, which was crap, and the 3,000+ Americans that died in Iraq would mean nothing. The Iraqi government can't even control, it's own country, without help.

Not all Presidents are perfect, Presidents are humans, they aren't robots. If you feel what is being done is stupid, then run for office and stop complaining.

Also, people who criticize and insult our troops, you're pathetic. Try walking in their shoes for a day.

Please, don't get me wrong. I respect the fact that we have women who are willing to put their own lives on the line. Just wondering if it causes more harm than good.

i am sure that the police had a much bigger problem on their minds. i know this is a very inconsiderate question but i bet there was never a better time to commit a crime and possibly get away with it.

My gran went on vacation (until 2/10) Mon. morn. On Wed., I got a call from her apt. manager that they were towing her car because they had to repave the parking lot. They claimed they notified her beforehand but I found out they notified her Mon. after she already left on vacation. Regardless, they had no choice but to tow her car (they did not have her spare key). I found her spare key and called the towing company to retrieve her car. The towing company claims that they cannot legally release her car to me since I am not the registered owner. While I understand this, I told them she can give verbal agreement over the phone, or she can fax a notary authorizing me to pick up the car. My grandma doesn't get back until 2/10. The towing company charges $25 per night (in addition to the $140 flat fee of the pick-up). I suspect they are telling me I can't pick up the car "legally" so that they can milk her for the $25/night until the 10th. Do I have any legal recourse? Thanks!

that initially led you to becomming a Con or Lib, what was it? You must limit it to just ONE. Of course, I understand that many other events have occurred since you first started to believe in a particular ideology.

For me, Conservatism began in earnest as a child in:

1979: 444 days of humiliation as the Ayotollah of Iran *****-slapped President Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Congress.

We don't "play that" in my neighborhood.

Hello,

I have been working really really hard to prepare for Navy Basic training, I've lost around 50 lbs, I workout just about everyday and have strictly monitored my diet. My question is this, if I am still a bit overweight when I go in, and not a really, really strong runner (although I am a lot better now) will I be able to make it through? I have a very strong personality and don't give up, if it helps. Please no negative comments, this is something I'm working really hard to do. Thanks.

Is it legal for your would-be employer to change your hourly rate after a verbal agreement?
Last week my Fiance was recently offered a job to work at a Memorial Care hospital. The Hiring Manager and HR Manager called him to confirm that they are hiring him and he could start working next week. They offered him a salary of $27.50 per hour plus overtime. On the same day, he was offered another job from a different hospital, but he declined because he already accepted this previous job offer. He then asked the Memorial Care hospital to send him a paperwork about his hiring. The Hiring Manager told him not to worry and everything's taken care of.

Tonight he got a phone call from the HR Manager that they are changing his hourly rate to $6.00 less. He said that his position is not a management position and they are hiring him from another Memorial Care division, not from outside sources. He even aded that it's the company policy. Do you think it's legal? How would you handle this situation?
