Yes, he broke a law that allows rich criminals to live freely in Mexico and not worry about being bounty hunted. But he did it to catch convicted serial rapist Andruw Luster who was subsuquently sentenced to 124 years in prison. Do you think it is right if the U.S sends this crime fighting icon up the creek without a paddle.

Most people have to take a drug test in order to work and pay taxes so that the government can offer assistance to people...why shouldn't they have to take a drug test to receive it?

Will women vote for her just so we can have a female president?

I am sure there are lots of women who oppose her. Myself included.
But I am wondering if Hillary will be the favorite of most women voters.

Weapons inspection teams were set up in Iraq in1991. Saddam had built up a chemical arsenal leading up to the Gulf war - and had used them to kill an estimated 20,000 people in the Iraq / Iran war, including 5000 Iraqi Kurds. After playing Saddam's game of telling the inspectors where they were allowed to look and ousting them on several occations - when they left in 1999, because Saddam rejected yet another resolution (Res 1284), they had, prior to their departure, destroyed 48 long range missiles, 14 conventional warheads, 30 chemical warheads, 40,000 chemical munitions and 690 Tons of chemical agents. With no further reliable monitoring of Saddam's CBR activities, there was no way to know whether Saddam had or didn't have any more WMD arsenals.
This is the scenerio when the vote to invade Iraq was taken - again - with this history of non compliance and the weapons that had already been destroyed - How would you have voted?
(None of the above relates to the "bush lied" rhetoric.)

Would you vote for Clinton just because shes a woman? Or would you vote for Obama just because he is darker skin? You could say I was there when we had our first woman President or black President.

It has been 1 1/2 years since i slipped and fell at a grocery store and i am still getting the "run around". I twisted and prang my anke & wrist when i slipped on a melted bag of ice. I had to drive myself to the hospital because the ambulance could not transport my children. I was asked to pay CASH for medical treatment at the emergency room so i waited until the next moring to see my regular dr. for x-rays. (spranged anke & wrist). It took over 1 year to get a claim number to seek out medical attention due to my constant paid to my upper arm area during work (on computer,typing, ect). I was receiving medical treatment for a few months and had to stop because the claim adjuster would not assure the dr. they would get paid.

They will be calling me next week to settle the claim. What do you think what would be reasonable? Consider that i still have treatment to be sought out, still suffer from accident, and have over 3k in medical bills.

Are there specifics i should say? Or not?

People watch TV shows like real world and listen to rappers bragg about how much time they spend in the club. People get a false sence that we have to constantly be talking to someone or doing something so that we feel like we have a life. Yet, when I look on the internet, there are thousands of people surfing and asking questions. Is the amount of traffic on myspace, You tube, and Yahoo QA proof that most people stay at home and rest up for the next day. Sociology research Question?

I heard that two guys in Scotland were supposed to be convicted of a crime but elected for 'trial by combat'. Is this still legal? I'd like to meet my accusers this way, i'd batter 'em.

I wrote my senator the other day & got a reply (just a regular form letter), can I share that reply with others? (like a mail list I belong to for instance) I'd like to pass the information on, but I want to find out first if that would be breaching some kind of restriction.

So I was arrested on a trumped up assault charge in Chicago that was basically a he said he said thing. In Chicago there aren't bail bonds companies, you give 10% of whatever bail is, and they let you go. It's my understanding that you are then refunded the money when you show up for court minus court costs etc. So I go to court and the guy who called the police never showed. Some screwball from the public defenders office asks that the case be dismissed and my $500 went to paying his fees. I never asked for a public defender. I didn't receive a service from the public defender, yet I paid for a public defender. I had to sign some papers, and one of the was called a CBR, which I later was informed released my $500 to the jackass from the Public Defenders office. Is this legit? I feel like I was scammed.

I simply can't believe it is so, but it is true, it is happening in America. I read the article at http://windowssecrets.com/comp/070222#story0 and did a little research, found it is true, there is a woman facing years in prison, simply because some pop up ads came up, and she couldn't get them to stop.

Now, what can we do to help her? On her blog site, there are some addresses of people involved, is anyone willing to send e-mails to the jerks responsible for this miscarriage of justice?

What are some other ideas to help this poor woman? Let's put our collective heads together and help stop this horrible injustice.

In case you do not know, Dakota Fanning who was 12 at the time, starred in a movie titled Houndog. In the movie she tries to act older than what she is with bad results.

I can't go into what the movie contains here, but here is the article about it http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=54312

Certain groups are asking the US Attorney General to bring federal charges against the makers of the movie (actually anyone involved in the movie which could include the other actors, camera people, and so forth).

Do you feel that such charges are justified or is this movie protected under the First Amendment?

Here is the news article if you would like to read it before you answer. http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=54312

Let's see who can give the most intelligent answer to this interesting situation.
