i'm asking this based on a response i received from a yahoo user. this person claimed i was using the "race card" when it came to my stance on illegal immigration. yet referred to all illegals as being brown skinned. just wondered if that's what most people thought. do they believe all illegals wether they enter from mexico or wherever are brown skinned.

This is going to sound really dumb, but I need to send something to somebody who's at Parris Island right now. He was in an evaluation platoon, but he was moved. I don't know the new address yet, but I was wondering if it would take forever to forward mail if I were to go ahead and send it to the old address.

I have no idea, so I'm just taking a shot in the dark by asking here. Thanks!

Seems like a waste of all his money.. shouldn't it be obvious that a majority of America will NOT vote for a) a black person b) someone with a name like that?

I just thought it was obvious... I mean look at who America picked last two times

that doesn't boil down to Israel helping itself? One recent answerer claimed that "Israel always votes with the US at the UN...even when no other country will".

Guess what? MOST countries vote with the US at the UN, UNLESS the issue is condemning Israel! Then the United States stands alone, along with good old "loyal ally" Israel!

Hi, I am a foreign student who arrived in MI for 5 month, so I do not know exactly what I should I do after I get a ticket.

It was snowing when it happened. Someone hit the rightside of my car when I was turning left. I turned the left signal on and watched for the distance but she still hit me.... when the police was coming, I just told him my car was hit and no more details, I thought the person who hit me will get the ticket, not me. But when the police turn back after talking to her seperately, he gave me this ticket. I was really surprised. I tried to explain but he told me I can go to the court to tell them the story...

The Citation shows

Type: C/I
Descripion: yield left turn
Charge No. : A

Traffic Crash, Damage to Property
Hearing Date(if applicable) on :within 10 days (this option box is not checked, but he writes down the 10 days and check the box of contact court)

May I ask should I pay for this ticket? if yes,how much? is it good for me to go to court?

Our state and federal government is spending Millions of tax dollars fighting a war on drugs that includes Marijuana, yet our streets are still full of it. The drug trafficers are getting rich and millions of people are having their lives ruined for something that is not really causing any harm that I can see. Would it not be better to let the Marijuana user have the right to grow a few plants for their own use. Still keep it illegal to transport, sell or trade if the Goverment so wanted. But allow the user the right to have posession in their own home for personal use in their home confined to their property. Would this not take a big chunk of money out of the foreign traffickers, would it also not free up a lot of prison space and tax dollars? Would it also not free up a lot of man power and more tax dollars to go after the harder more harmful adictive drugs? I think it is time for a change. Let the smokers grow their own. and focus on more important things. What do you think?

Here is yet another college party where white students use the excuse of being "politically incorrect" to express white supremacy. It seems that their biggest problem with our so-called "politically correct" culture is that it prevents them from wearing their white hoods in public.

I was driving down a long island highway here in ny, and i was just crusing down the road listening to music, not really any cars around me and i didnt realize how fast i going..The cop saw me and pulled me over. I didnt try what so ever to get out of it, i accepted it and understood why i was being pulled over. The only thing that got to me was that i was giving a ticket for failing to change lanes without a blinker which i always do because it even annoys me when people dont do it. I didnt complain that cuz i wanted to be respectful and just figured id talk it out in court..I have a court date for next month and i believe now i have 8 points for the ticket and 2 or 3 for the blinker which equals 11.Which probably means suspended license..I had one other violation about 2 years ago by making a U-TURN on a street i didnt realize i wasnt allowed to..I plan on pleady guilty and being upfront with the judge. Should i get a traffic lawyer to try to reduce the Fine n point ill be recieving

Why must everyone fight over who was better during WWII ? I never heard my Grandmother & Grandfather talk like this about WWII and they was in it. SO why are most of the British and American people in here fighting over who was better I thought we were on the same side during that time. So why are we fighting over who saved who now?

When someone threatens the government in communism, they are silenced. Well, when something threatens your body, the body kills it. Does that mean communism is in our blood

I actually don't endorse communism, but thought it was a weird correlation

for EXAMPLE if i get pregnant & the doc says there is over 98%chance that my baby and me will DIE due to health complications,
& my doc gives me option for abortion - why would it be your business? (and NO im NOT referring to abortion for birth control, im referring to a life/death situation)
who are YOU to judge me and my life&look through my medical records? would you want ME or any other stranger to look through YOUR medical records and dictate what you should or shouldnt in this time of MEDICAL crisis. Abortion is a MEDICAL ISSUE.
don't you think i as a person am capable enough to make my own decisions regarding this matter?
abortion is a medical issue between ME & my doctor. who are you to take away my choice? who are you to look through my medical records? my reason for abortion would be none of your business, cause it would entitle you to look through my medical records. do you want me or strangers looking thru records and deciding what procedures to have on you
