So almost a year ago i was raped at a party while passed out after a night of drinking...7 months later i finally got the DNA results and it was positive

I got a call from the attorney office saying that they just got the complaint and he is formally charged on a summon.

What does that mean? formally charged? Does that mean he is going to get charged with it for sure and what exactly is he going to court for..to try to get out of it or his punishment??

I know they always say they want less government, but they always spend more and increase government buracracy. Are they just saying that to get elected?

Hi. I have a friend with a recording studio and i would like to record some songs. It is just for personal use, not for selling (eg, to give to my grandma lol!). so, i was just wondering if i record a song by someone else do i need to get their permission? I'm not a song writer, but i'd like to record some other peoples songs, just me and a piano. Is it illegal even if i'm not selling them or anything?

I just saw part of this case on tv about a vietnamese girl who shot her sister.
Some one on there said her boyfriend had been teaching her to use a gun and getting her over her fear of guns. then they said he had told her the gun she stupidly pointed at her sister was not loaded. If this is true then can he be charged for leading her to believe it was not loaded and causing the death of her sister?

A Senior Reporter, State-Sponsored I might add, from Syria has defected or left Syria . And he has given us the exact coordinates of Syria's Cheical Weapons Plants AND the location of Iraq's WMD's that Syria has been hiding since just days before the Iraq War . We have long suspected that Syria was hiding them and now it just might be confirmed . IF what this guy is saying is TRUE, then there's a whole bunch of fireworks in the near future .

Is it legal to destroy/dammage property belonging to 2 people? I would like to key the car at my house thats under MY NAME AND EX girlfriends name, shes the one on the loan though. So I have no involvment with the bank, if she defults, the payments go to her step-father

Question is:
Can I risk a lawsuit? Or anything thing of that matter? Can she claim it in her insurence as theft and only end up paying 500$ deductable?

I know it doesnt sound to ethnical, but the way she left just wasnt right, had to get cops involved, she has become very violent, even though I try to understand for her, shes made so many commentments towards me, then up and leaves/cheats

Ill be moving to Indiana soon, and ill need 2 signatures to transfer it there, she wont of course, so ill leave the car with her, even though ive been helping her pay (IAM NOT ON LOAN THOUGH), so hate me if you must, but I just want to know if I can do this, and let the world know while she drives what a CHEAT she is
THANKS

I thought Bush and his advisors were in denial of the "speculation".

What happened ?

In the Toronto Star today it has been found out that 1/2 of the 259 scientists questioned have been presured not to share thier research with the media and to delete comments and data refering to global warming/climate change in the United States .

So again for all this "Kyoto kool aid" cracks from the crack pot administration why the sudden about face and the revelation that oh my god it's here and we'd better do somthing other than lie our collective butts of and pretend it is a fad .

And why has this sudden revelation hit Harper as well ?

Maybe it's time for Dion to be given the riegns up here and take them away from that Bush photo copy of a PM we currently have

Gore Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize
The Associated Press

Thursday 01 February 2007

He "has put climate change on the agenda," two Norwegian sponsors say.

Oslo, Norway - Former Vice President Al Gore was nominated for the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for his wide-reaching efforts to draw the world's attention to the dangers of global warming, a Norwegian lawmaker said Thursday.

"A prerequisite for winning the Nobel Peace Prize is making a difference, and Al Gore has made a difference," Conservative Member of Parliament Boerge Brende, a former minister of environment and then of trade, told The Associated Press.

Brende said he joined political opponent Heidi Soerensen of the Socialist Left Party to nominate Gore as well as Canadian Inuit activist Sheila Watt-Cloutier before the nomination deadline expired Thursday.

"Al Gore, like no other, has put climate change on the agenda. Gore uses his position to get politicians to understand, while Sheila works from the ground up," Brende said.

"I think climate change is the biggest challenge we face in this century," Brende said.

A liberal isn't necessairly a Democrat and a Republican isn't necessairly a conservative. However, I get the impression that it's close enough to justify a name change. The terms liberal and conservative are used to identify ourselves more often than Republican and Democrat, it seems to me. We might have to make a Moderate party also. Do you think the name change is a good idea ?

-Deny Britney Spears and Paris Hitlon, and other annoying any time on TV.
-Stop globalizing. Stop building McDonalds in other countries and ruining their culture.
-Make a plan to withdraw from Iraq.
-Make it illegal to join racist parties, such as the KKK, American Nazi Party, etc. I don't give a crap about freedom of speech in this case. If I was President, these jerks would be gone. They make other countries view us as racist.
-Make it mandatory for students to learn a world language, so we don't look like fools when we go to other countries, and a cultural class, where studensts learn abot cultures and hopefully begin to respect other cultures.

i am proposing to reconstitute a civic duty to our fellow homeless people. i know that most people frown upon the sight of them, but what if we re-introduced them to society with the chance to give something back and better themselves. i propose to offer to 'enlist' the many 'capable' homeless people out there, and offer them shelter, food, clothing and training for work. after we 'enlist' them into this government program, we shall train them to be active soldiers and ready citizens to defend America in a time of War! think about it, our standing army will increase by the millions if we do this right! plus, they will no longer be homeless, and they will have some discipline and training for future work opportunities, and be able to have a roof and food on a daily basis!!! what do you think?

The office of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is pressing the Bush administration for routine access to military aircraft for domestic flights, such as trips back to her San Francisco district, according to sources familiar with the discussions.
The sources, who include those in Congress and in the administration, said the Democrat is seeking regular military flights not only for herself and her staff, but also for relatives and for other members of the California delegation. A knowledgeable source called the request "carte blanche for an aircraft any time."
