Politics & Government - 27 March 2007

ok well, i went shopping and i met a guy who was going to sell me some cocaine (yes, i was desperate for a fix) but i was conned; i was tricked out of hundreds of dollars. when i returned home my mom asked where all my money had gone, and i said i was innocently robbed! then she went to the police behind my back to report it!
i have an interview tomorrow. do i carry on with the lie of being 'robbed' (and be caught out, because of CCTV cameras i will have been captured on film, and the police will know) or do i come clean and say i was after cocaine? bearing in mind this substance is illegal, and my mom doesnt know i am a user.
lie or tell the truth? this is a serious question, i need serious answers. please give me advice. im so scared about the interview
i am only seventeen

I've read this thing over and over, and cannot see, for the life of me why anyone would be opposed to it, except that they want us to use an archaic and inefficient system meant to oppress the People who abide by the law. (For some general points, see this question in Business & Finance: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070327112954AAjUaAN&r=w) There will be further updates, linking you, my readers, to the bill,and other resources (hopefully).

To an almost Freudian level, George W. loathed his father so much he appointed two sworn enemies of the George Bush presidency to powerful positions, Rumsfield, and, Cheney.

George Bush rejected Rumsfield's request to work for his administration at every turn.

George Bush has never called his father on advice or to seek council, and, George W's comments on his father's Presidency, negative comments, are well documented lure in Washington.

Is George mad at his daddy? Bad George W.

It must be the explanation for Snow's cancer and Cheney's 12 heart attacks.

I know more cons with major health problems than libs.

It must be all that hate and rage!

It seems in the world today if you dare go against what America wants then your emasculated from the world with its many Americanised groups as in UN,NATO,WTO etc. Is it time other nations as in Russia,China started forming their own international policies and groups that serve their interests solely as opposed to solely American policy and their foreign interests. Apparently America is now deciding to bomb Iran on April the 6th without asking anybody but themselves if this is legal.

Is it time for Russia to get rid of the yolk of American dominance and world wide empire building for their own agenda and international policy?. The world has been bossed around by the US for far too long its now time for some change and fair play on the world stage, but will the US like sharing their world power status with another cultural and innovative powerhouse Russia?.

They can cry and whine all they like but they will have to except there is a new kid on the block now and its Russia.

I've decided that if I were ever elected governor, there are three items about which I would work tirelessly until their implementation.

1) All roadwork on a freeway must be well marked at least 2 miles in advance. This is to give people enough time to get over so they don't start a traffic jam by waiting until the last second like they do now. Motorists will have the next 1.5 miles to get over. If they choose to wait, they are taking their lives in their hands, as we are mining the last half mile. Further, the wreckage will not be removed after a mine incident. It will be left there "pour encourager les autres".

2) Car alarms will be banned. They're too ubiquitous now. Nobody hears a car alarm and thinks "Somebody is breaking into that car!". We hear it and think, "&*^%$ jack*sses who don't know how to work their &*^% alarms!!".

3) Summary arrest, trial, and execution by the police officer alongside the road for people with their bass cranked up to 200 decibels.

When Bill Clinton FIRED ALL 93 US Attorneys in 1992, there was NO outrage from the press. Allbeit belated, Bush should be able to weed out US Attorneys, especially those he allowed to stay on (imprudently?).

have you ever noticed the adds for free credit reports, and it says the average American credit score is in the high 600's -like around 680? If many are struggling, how come the average credit score is pretty good? How can people afford to pay their bills? Wouldn't it stand to reason that credit scores would be lower? I am in no way a math whiz nor was I an economics major, that is why I am asking this question in responce to the many people who are going to call me an idiot because I do not know something.

How did Bush lie? He was going by inteligence from the CIA as well as other national intelligence agencies from other countries. Everyone believes Sadam had WMD's, I mean we found him with them in 91 in Kuwait, he had been using biological weapons to kill hundreds of his own people, all intelligence from our allies suggested that he at the very least had stockpiles or the capability to procure WMD's. We waited to long to go in and he moved them to Syria, and all of a sudden you think Bush somehow lied about Sadam being an evil dictator capable of using WMDs and that this whole thing is based on a lie?

You people believe that the Iraqis somehow thought Sadam would be a better leader than their new democratic way with elections and an army that will ACTAULLY DEFEND THE PEOPLE? Sure its not completed yet and cant stand all on its own but thats why we need to stay.

Why is everyone so brainwashed into thinking that Bush wasnt 100% correct so let withdrawl and let Iraqis get killed
