To add, can a Canadian citizen that is a member of the American Bar Association and practicing in the US (but is not a citizen) judge over small claims court even though they are not a citizen? Plus, what are the other requirements? Please provide references.

I'm going to make three points. whoever can refute ALL THREE points accurately and with reasonable logic and/or information gets the best answer.
1. The UN is a drain on the US's Resources
2. The UN is corrupt, including many terrorist countries who hate the US, and so it won't always accede to the US's will, and many times makes a wrong decision.
3. UN is superfluous Ex. When they said we SHOULDN'T go into iraq, and i believe it was also defied once in (the cold war?) by soviet russia, who refused to stop an assault on something X_X

Is the trick to NOT having the victim found to dig a deeper hole?

I've never ever heard a news report that says a body was discovered in a deep grave. But i have heard hundreds of stories say the body was found in a shallow grave.

Why are murderers so lazy anyway?? I'd spend a little extra time and effort to dig a nice big hole.

Current or former politicians, must be living and eligible.

No 2-term former Presidents, foreign born citizens, or politicians under the age of 35. Must be living.

Keep in mind that age is a factor. Jimmy Carter is 82, for example, and his age would be a big factor in the campaign.

If you want, it can be a split ticket, a third party ticket, or an independent ticket, I don't care.

Thanks for your answers.

Do they want some for themselves??

I've noticed whenever i see a large marijuana bust on the news, that the plants are always 'ready to be harvested'. I never see them find a crop of seedlings, or young plants.

I was stopped for a white licenses plate light on 01/06/07 the cop asked to search my truck I told him No! so he called for a K-9, they walked the dog around the truck and aressted for drugs, the next day while being booked in the county I asked what they claim to have found, I was charged with having 44.2 grams of meth.
I don't seem to have any rights because of something my brother did, and they can't catch him they are going to make me pay for his mistakes, several attorneys agree with me but I can't afford them.
I was appointed a attorney but I can't get them to do anything!
I need help before they put me away!!!

Long story! My older sister and I received Social Security Survivor Benefits from the death of our father, which ended when we graduated. My sister did not graduate on time, and went to summer school to get the required credits she needed to graduate. Soc Sec sent her the checks and a letter saying she was eligible to receive them. After getting the checks and finishing summer school the SSA sent letters to her telling my sister she needed to give back the money they overpaid her.
To cut the story short, I filed my first income tax return and find out the government took my entire federal refund and applied it to the over-payment debt. I have filled out the forms and sent them in. Now I am trying to get my congressman involved to get me some help. I needed that money.
If you want to read the whole ordeal (too long to fit in this detail box) email me and I will definatly email the story, which is already typed out, to you.
If you have any ideas or advice, please do share.

Okay, I am new to voting, and I'm wondering what the best way is to figure out who all of the candidates are, and what there basic beliefs are. I know that there aren't any candidates yet, but who are the ones who might run, and what are there basic beliefs like on the war, abortion, gay marriage, health care, and all of the other big topics. Also, is there a website that I can use where it doesn't overwhelm me with information about people, but just gives me there basic beliefs?

It is hard to understand the motivation in taking up so much interest in the 2008 election when so much time lies before any real actions are taken. It is highly possible that people will be completely turned off by then and a current unknown will get the nod. I think the election should be ignored until next year.

They're ruining and threatening our society, and since violence is increasing, we need to put our foot down. Unstable and violent people will breed kids in unstable environments and more often than not they will turn out the same way and the cycle will continue. If we shamelessly continue to embrace the moral anarchy revolution of the 60's, then why don't we at least deport the dirty laundry it has caused?

Hey, it worked for the Brits importing their prisoners to Australia. How are we above them? Imagine how much safer and stabler we would make our society.

There are millions of non-US citizens (immigrants) living in the US right now. Wouldn't the public acknowledgement of Presidents' Day and Independence Day be offensive to these minorities? Perhaps they will be offended at the notion that many Americans observe these holidays, and maybe they have their own cultural holidays that we should acknowledge around the timeframe of Presidents Day/4th of July?

Maybe we should say "Happy End-winter Holidays" to avoid offense?

...

[/sarcasm]
Did you think that was ridiculous? Me too. Now allow me to get to my point...why is it wrong to say "Merry Christmas" when 96% of Americans celebrate it? If I was a non-US citizen living in the USA then I wouldn't be offended by the celebration of Independence Day...so why would/should non-Christmas celebrants be offended by promotion of Christmas? This baffles me. Can anyone provide a decent answer without cursing me down?
