To get the point as quick as possible, my fiance is a Japanese woman who I've known for about 4 years now. We've had, obviously, a long distance relationship and have traveled back and forth as often as possible to see each other. We've decided that we want to be together and get married. However, I've heard that it's illegal to get married on a tourist visa (for instance, if I were to go to Japan on a tourist visa and get married, the government wouldn't like that). Does anyone know anything about this, or the best way to go about making this happen? Thanks in advance.

I can't believe how crazed the media has already become with the with the 2008 election. Is there really anyone left in America with the gall to care about the outcome? Regardless of who the victor is, they will no doubt prove greedy, narcissistic, and plastic. Is there any way to escape this madness short of loading up on LSD, bennies, reds, grass, & rum, and heading off to prowl the demolition derby circuit?

I have recently taken a job to work at a maximum security state prison as a food service supervisor. Of course, all the other stuff has been very helpful in giving me advice about certain things, and I am grateful to them all, yet every once in awhile I hear about a problem, like how an inmate had a cell phone, or they are doing drug testing, or what not. Everyday that I go into work I empty my pockets, walk through a metal detector, and am patted down, then allowed to proceed. So is everyone else. So I am really curious as to how it is that illegal drugs are a problem in a maximum security prison. Where is it that they are coming from and how are the inmates getting access to them? And how are the other inmates getting money to pay for them?

Criminals who beat up or murder gay people just for that reason - shouldn't they be treated as ordinary sexual offenders and kept in preventive detention even after their prison terms expire?

Boaters dropped off 21 Cuban migrants at a popular nudist beach and left 19 others on another beach a few hours later, the Border Patrol said. Both vessels escaped.

with my personal experiance today I can make the educated opinion we are truelly not. When I mentoned my child was taken away from me it was automaticly assumed that I was guilty. I am amazed that because I was in a phyc ward I was automaticly accused and it was automaticly assumed i was an awfull parent. or that my parenting skills were lacking. So I think the line should be guilty till proven innocent. And to all who made their accusations I would truelly be ashamed.

I badly want to work for the State Department as a foreign service officer and was wondering if anyone knew how. Also, are there any effective methods of getting "an edge" in the application process?

Has our government anything else to offer us besides this for our tax dollars?

The United Kingdom, for all its grumpy resentment of the United States, will always align with us in a severe crisis: Our mutual values are far closer than any Britain shares with either France or Germany. Anglo-American sparring can be vicious, but outsiders fail to grasp that its a family feud. And the family closes ranks to outsiders.
Of course we will always need to maintain our close relationship with the United Kingdom. There will be fueds and misunderstandings, but we must avoid overreacting and thus giving ammunition to Briain's hard left. The greatest partnership in human history has been that of The United States and the United Kingdom. No one should ever forget that!

What say you?

I have a friend (Margie) involved in a divorce & custody battle. Right now, she are her separated husband have joint custody. Based on things the kids (12 & 14) have told her, the father is doing illegal drugs in front of them (he used to only do them privately), and driving in the car with them while intoxicated from both drugs and alcohol. She is frightened for them, but cannot prove his behavior in court. She is very afraid of retribution. She is considering making an anonymous tip to the local police, and hoping they find his stash and arrest him. Does anyone seriously have any experience with this sort of situation? What would be the best place for Margie to start? She has tried for a few months to "catch him in the act". The man is friendly with some local police, and was let go for a DUI. I told her they would not let it go twice, but it is a matter of catching him. Any real advice is welcomed- I do not know enough about the legal system to help her very much.
