You know eventually some puffed up loony will use nuclear weapons to avenge a slight to his ego or something as equally maniacal. What can we do to prevent these horrid weapons from spreading any further?

They wouldn't even let me go to sleep the whole time. I had no food and limited water. They came into my room while I was sleeping, handcuffed me, took me to the station, unhandcuffed me, searched me, made me give them my socks and pajama top, and handcuffed me again. I spent the next day and a half handcuffed and freezing to death in a camisole and pajama bottoms.

I wasn't even "guilty" of anything, they were asking me questions about my dad that I could not answer. I wasn't even officially arrested. ALSO, they were telling me blatant lies in an attempt to get me to answer. When I begged them to take the cuffs off, they said they only would if I would make a written statement incriminating my father.

I'm an honor student, in the United States, and my dad is an executive at a fairly large energy company. How can this happen? My dad is still being questioned... I have no idea where to go to find out my rights (my dad usually handles this), but this MUST be illegal, right?

If you are being charged with a crime, is it safe to explain what happened to the D.A. or do they not want to hear it?

Pretty bad when another PM points out the fact that your "pull the troops out in March" policy is crap! Ha ha!

If the PC liberals think all republicans are unintelligent, why say it out loud? Isn't it un-PC to talk about "stupid" people?

Or are you guys just grasping for straws?

We are on track now if they keep up there hatred for Bush and ignore what is happening right in front of them. The time to lead is now, not retreat.

My ex lived in Oregon state, but now lives in England and I have no address or phone number to contact her or my son. It's been close to a year since they moved.

I happened to run into an article on Wikpedia examining the potential candidates for the 51st U.S. state (which, keep in mind, may never exist) which can be found here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/51st_State

I was surprised to note that one of the suggested countries (among others such as Guyana, Japan, the Alberta Province of Canada, etc.) was Britain.

As a link in the article suggests, this would give Britain several great advantages over the other states: The U.K. would be the most populous and wealthy state by far, thereby weilding huge power in Congress.

The cultural, social, and economic ties the two countries share already would make integration relatively easy as, say, compared to joining the E.U., which consists of many cultures that do not share the U.K.'s values.

Please keep in mind, I'm not actually advocating this, nor do I even believe it to be entirely plausible. I was simply curious as to what the British might actually think of such a proposal.

Thanks,

Sterfrye

Just a survey , please state your answer & nationality too.

Some friends of mine argue that answering will put you as the same level as the enemy as you thought they are inhuman.

On the other hands, some argue that if we refused to communicate, how would we expect any conciliation with our enemy

This question derived from Iranian president's letter to GWBush in May 2006.

We never see any reports on the news regarding the death toll of innocent iraqis.
So what's more valuable the life of one american or the life of 100 iraqis? (and by iraqi i mean innocent children who have nothing to do with any type of fighting)

Would you rather sacrifice one american to save 100 iraqis or vice versa?

He'd be under the microscope again. Now he's free to DO whatever and whoever he wants.
Don't you think Hillary would be less of a shrew if Bill did HER every now and then? Or at least Janet Reno. Hillary needs lovin' too.

The apartment managers at my complex are searching thru trash bags that were not thrown IN the bins (they were sitting outside the bins and the bins were completely empty. People are lazy and dont want to take the time to open the bins to put the trash in there) so they can send them a warning letter, and/or fine. Is that legal in California?

I am a conservative Republican, and I would like to see Rudy Giuliani in office. All thought he is pro choice and for gay rights he is great on security. Thats why hes got my vote(if i can. I am 14 *tear* ). All thought I think it would be great if we had an African American(Obama) or a Women(Hillary) in office, but at the time where America is at right now we need someone strong on security. But thats just my opinion. Whats yours?

No, it didn't happen to me.... but to someone I know from out of state driving a car that doesn't require a front plate. So I want to know if the cameras take pictures from only the front. Thanks.

It's amazing to me that all you see on fox is the coverage of obama and hillary, and all you hear conservative talk show hosts talking about with regard to the presidential elections are democrats?? Do the republicans not have a candidate worth reporting on?

Everyday I'm out driving my car, I see people speeding, disobeying laws, running lights, ignoring stop signs, cutting others off, making multiple lane changes, etc etc. How can we get people to quit ignoring traffic laws? Can't these people understand that no matter what their reason is (short of someone in the car dying) there can't possibly be something so important that you must risk the lives of drivers around you with your reckless driving!
