Australia knows how to do it!

Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.

Treasurer Peter Costello, seen as heir apparent to Howard, hinted that some radical clerics could be asked to leave the country if they did not accept that Australia was a secular state, and its laws were made by parliament. "If those are not your values, if you want a country which has Sharia law or a theocratic state, then Australia is not for you", he said on National Television.
"IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this, you can either change accordingly or take advantage of one other great Australian freedom,
THE RIGHT TO LEAVE!

Not much is being said about this great army which is deployed in Iraq/ Afganistan. How are the Aussies doing and are they still the formibidable force they are renowned to be?

I went to the "Chickenhawk" website-and I was appalled at the lack of service by our leading Republican Politicians -conservative talk show host etc. I know this is just a generalization-some Repubs served honorably-and I know the Clinton issue will always be a diversion for the neo-cons-but I think it is the" little fat kid nerd theory"-guys like Limbaugh-Cheney were the little wealthy fat kids who were picked on-when they got older and became empowered they became aggressive -look at the website your self-the Dems as a whole served there country (Military) more often than the Repub.

My boyfriend (now EX) - asked to borrow my car one night to run to the grocery store. I said fine and gave him my keys. He never came back with it. The next day, he calls and says the car is stolen. Just got back from the police station. MY EX story is: He tried to score some dope, a guy got in the car, pulled a gun on him, told him to get out the car. That was it. Now, don't answer saying my EX is a worthless, lying, POS - I know that. What I need to know now is do I have right to press charges on my EX if I never get my car back or if it comes back stripped to nothing??

Why are americans scared of small backward countries like vietnam, cuba, venezuela, iraq, iran, somalia, serbia, etc?
Shouldnt the most powerful country in the world be scared of those who can attack it instead of those who dont have more than sticks to defend themselves?

I'm in the fifth month of a 5 year commercial lease. I am still not open due to my former general contractor's lack of interest in even attempting to meet the deadline date we set. He's out of the picture now, and I am pursuing legal action against him.

I am now in the position where I still owe a couple of my sub-contractors some money. I am doing everything humanly possible to get the money together. However, my Landlord is being completley indifferent to the situation I am in. A situation which is due to my former general contractor's gross misconduct while on the job. I never would have picked him had my landlord's representative, while negotiating the lease, not emailed me his number and urged me to use him in 3 different emails.

I'm considering trying to get out of the lease. This situation is starting to affect my health. My lease states that the Sq. footage in my space is 1334. It is actually 1300, per my architects plans & measurements. Is this a way out for me?

After just a few months in office, President Bush was suddenly faced with the worst ever attack on our soil. For a few weeks everyone in the country was united with him. Then the opponents of Bush began to pick up their negative campaign against him. I'm wondering what they would have done different in the wake of the attack.

Prescott Bush, was a director & shareholder of companies that profited from involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany. Factual info exists from newly discovered files in the US National Archives that a firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with the financial architects of Nazism. His business dealings, which continued until his company's assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act, has led more than 60 years later to a civil action for damages being brought in Germany against the Bush family by two former slave labourers at Auschwitz . New documents, declassified last year, show that even after the US had entered the war & when there was already significant information about the Nazis' plans & policies, he worked for & profited from companies closely involved with the very German businesses . Grandson Bush is facing a different kind of scrutiny but one underpinned by the same perception that, for some, WAR is very BIG business !

My friend got an MIP almost a year ago was charged with and convicted he had to serve community service and pay fines. He got a dwi a few months ago and broke probation. He hasn't been charged yet with his dwi but he got his liscense suspended. He just now got another dwi and i assume will be charged and convicted for breaking probation again. I just want to know the consequences and if he's going to have to serve jail time. I know it's a Class A misdemeanor and i just would like to know what's going to happen. I live in Rolla, MO. He's 18 and i really want the best help for him and i want him to know all of his options. I was also wondering if there is any way he can skip jail time and just pay fines and do community service? Answers will greatly be appreciated. Thanks.
