I can understand reporting someone who asks stupid question, but putting "reported" makes even less sense. Has anyone ever gotten a violation for this? I have been reporting, but I never know if it works.

He is still in presidency.

He is still writing laws that allow him to veto stuff.

He got elected twice.

He is allowed to send 20,000 troops to an unpopular war.

I am not a supporter but by the things he is allowed to continue to
do I can say that someone out there must like him.

If you don't like ciggarettes, just don't go to a smokey bar.

If you want a bar to ban smoking, open your own bar.

Who are you to force your will on others?

If you anti smoke fascist get this to happen in Kansas City, I will make you regret it. (somehow)

Looks like Hiliary and Obama are the 2 Dem runners for President in 2008. This to me suggests the Democrats lack any real leadership members that these are the only 2 they have to offer...a newbie who is an unknown and a woman senator who has been subject of investigations.

Thoughts?

Isn't the Republican party dominated by conservatives?
Are there ANY Northern conservatives left?

I've got news for you dreamers: pro-choice Romney, pro-gay marriage Rudy, and pro-immigration McCain are not going to get nominated by today's Republican party.

I just got a notice saying the state police have been given an order to give a ticket every ten minutes? I got this from a reliable friend but I would hate to hear this kind of thing is happening.
I know the police have been giving tickets for going 1 mph over the speed zone, not signing the back of the cars registration...$125.oo
got one of those myself in a school zone speed trap...going through a yellow light..one man had no tickets and he was 61 and the magistrate said yes they can do this on just the officers word.
THIS IS JUST CRAZY..is there anything the average citizen can do/?

I have been sexually harrased by a co-worker since he started. It is getting out of hand and I am scared. I confronted the guy last week and he started swearing and yelling at me calling me names. I don't know what to do I am a single mother and I need my job so bad. My boss is an ******* and he just thinks the guy could do no wrong. I am scared to go to my boss because to be honest I think he would fire me before he would fire the guy who is harrasing me. I cry everyday and this is affecting my life. I feel the guy is doing it on purpose to make me quit. It is very clear the guy has issues with women and I beleive he is harrasing me in order to make me quit. I beleive if it gets any worse this physco is going to hurt me. Does anyone have any advise for me.

Three months ago I got my first traffic ticket, it was for speeding. I went to court and the judge reduced it to a parking ticket and traffic school. I have until Feb. 25th to complete the traffic school. Yesterday, I got another ticket for an unsafe lane change. I was stupid and I miscalculated how much time I needed to get over to my exit...My mistake and now I have to pay. I would just like to know if anyone has any advice what would be the best way to take care of these two tickets. Should I go to court before I go to traffic school or should I wait until after I've taken care of the first ticket? If I go to court before I go to traffic school do you think I can get the judge to let me go to traffic school for both tickets? I guess I have one more resolution to add to my list...Be a safe driver. I hope I can keep from breaking that one again because it hurts my almost non-existent cash flow, LOL.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

1.I am British
2.If our vehicle convoys had I F F (I D friend or foe) equipment fitted this might not have happened.
3.If the R.A.F had enough ground attack aircraft we would not have to rely on the U.S.A.F.
4.Many British lives have been saved by having U.S aircraft working with & supporting our troops
5.Sadly accidents do happen with tadgic results.
DO YOU AGREE WITH ME ?

I work in a geriatric ward and the ward sister has started to insist that the night staff get some patients up and washed and dressed before the day staff start at 7am. In order to do this these patients would have to be woken at around 5.30am. His excuse is that the day staff don't have the time for every patient due to staff shortages etc. Most of these patients are incapable of making a choice. Do you think this is abuse and what can be done?

I am a newlywed with a husband that just re-enlisted in the army as an E-4. We haven't even been married a month yet and he is already at his post (which is Fort Riley, Kansas) and I will follow next week. He has already been told he will most likely be deployed around Christmas/or the first part of next year at the latest. I would really like be a good "Army Wife" and make our first year of marriage great before he gets deployed. Any advice on how I could do that, and what could I do after he gets deployed to let him know I am thinking about him? We both agree I will go back to our home state once he gets deployed. Does anyone know anything about Fort Riley..what is there do/what is it like? Any advice from anyone currently in the Military, Prior Service, or Military Wives would be greatly appreciated!!

The history of the battle for control of the Suez canal dates back to the reasons for its construction. The British Empire, desperate for easier shipping routes to India, opened the canal in 1869. The canal runs through the then British territory of Egypt. After the second world war, many old British colonies began to fight for their independence. When India won its freedom in 1949 it signalled the end to an old world order, the old European colonial powers were no longer in charge of the world, the USA and the USSR were the new superpowers. The conflict also has a root in the establishment of the Israeli state in former Palestine in 1948. The final nail in the coffin of the British empire came when General Nasser, president of Egypt, attempted to nationalise the canal so that profits derived from its use would go to the Egyptian state rather than into British and French coffers.

Use whatever criteria you want. How much you admire them, what they accomplished, how popular & unifying their policies were, or whatever. Feel free to go back 5-10 years before you were born if you've got a good understanding of what those presidents did, also.
