Politics & Government - 16 February 2007

I'm 21, married, with a 5 month old son. My husband is abusive. He's also kept me locked in the house for two years, and cut off all my contact with friends. He also cheats.

I'd like to get a divorce. But I'm currently in the middle of spouse immigration. If we break up now, I have to leave the country. And if I didn't have to, I'd want to. That means a custody battle over my son, who was born here. Also, my having been locked away for two years while my husband worked, isn't going to look good in the "responsibility" area. Fair enough except that my husband honestly doesn't give a damn about his son, and will waste his last cash on booze while I'm scraping pennies out of the couch for baby formula. I can't leave my son with that.

I also have no cash of my own, and no access to his.

I need out of this situation before it breaks me, and I don't know how. I have zero proof. Any ideas, any knowledge of divorce/custody proceedings and my chances, would be very very much appreciated

I think that americans are talking about so much stuff that they don't even know about. For example, i have been reading a lot of stuff about americans thinking that illegals have everything "easy" here but it is not true. I have a lot of friends who have suffered through hell just to try to live a better life here. And all that talk about 20-30 people living in the same house; well think of it this way if they would rather live under these horrible conditions then how bad do you think they had it before. I have been a witness to the horrible conditions they have to live through. Those so called anchor babies that americans talk about; I just can't believe how you just think that we should get rid of them. The parents just want their kids to have a better life.Most people would wish to enter the country legally but it is very difficult. I am not saying that anyone should come in here illegally. I am just saying that maybe we should make it a little easier to come here legally.

What reason does Hussein Obama have for being famous? He is a mainstream-media manufactured celebrity like Paris Hilton. They created him entirely; he would be a unknown without their support.

Recently my car got hit - backed into. The person who did it drove off, but i know them, and they called me a few minutes after it happened. I was not in my car at the time, so i didn't realize they hit me until after it happened. I live in the state of Minnesota. I've researched a little and by law they did commit the crime of "Hit and Run" but what is the punishment for that crime? How much could they be charged? The damage on my car was about 15000.

Getting their morning on thinking they are going to convince some one of something? just want to argue? getting the frustrations out?

Funny how they just bash and don't ask reasonable questions.

Iran not so easy to turn into glass.

It looks like the combined US and Russian arsenal is not enough to completely destroy Iran.

In fact every atomic bomb on earth all dropped at the same time on Iran would not destroy it.

What a shame that movie bombs are better than real bombs.

Looks like Bush will have to roll up his sleeves and get his hands bloody. If he wants Mahmoud Ahmadenijad

Why didn't the secret service permit him from being tested? Were they in fear of the sheriff over Cheney's life?
