I once again called the Irs & again got a different answer. I e-filed 1/23/07 and it was received 1/26. I filed an injured spouse & i realize that it takes up to 11 wks to process. I was told that I am to expect the full refund but the transaction is pending. They also told me that their system updates over the weekend. I feel as if i am getting the run a round. It was processed and finished on 3/21. Any clues to when i will get my refund? I was told that it will not be this Friday.

The time when you are responsible for your own actions,when you could defend yourself without worrying about family members coming at you because you hurt their family member when they broke into your house and threatened your life or your family members life, when the guilty paid and the victims were paid back for what they lost. What is wrong with our government that things are so screwed up and backwards. Where the criminals have more rights than we do?

They call him either 'idiotic' or a 'evil neo-con.' In order to pursue an evil agenda, wouldn't one have to be clever? One can't be clever and idiotic at the same time. Why can't they make up their minds?

If you criticize the "war on terror" you are appeasing the terrorists...OH!!!! And don't forget the all time classic: "IF YOU'RE NOT WITH US YOU'RE AGAINST US." How do we educate people against such blind ignorance and convince people that just because you question your own governments' actions you are automatically allying yourself with somebody else? Remember: The fight for REAL democracy begins at home and not thousands of miles away.

What happens when a state governement shuts down? What if there are payless paydays for those state employees? What could it turn into in a worse case scenario? For the residents?? Are there any benefits to this action?I do remember the White House shutdown under Bill Clinton and do not feel it was very effective. But what happens when it happens to a state? Michigan just found out this may be on the horizon.

Isn't it morally, ethically, and legally wrong for a hospice to Euthinize a patient in the state of California? I ask this because my Grandma just called and said that they're doing this to her cousin.

To clarify this, her cousin is perfectly coherent last I was told. also this is different from the Terri Shivao case, in that instance they removed her feeding tube which killed her as a result of dehydration and she was in a vegaitative state. In the case of my Grandma's cousin she her problem is lung failure and to euthinize her they are injecting letal drugs into her (I was told it was an overdose of Morphine). She is on a breathing apparatus but can still talk, and is coherent. If they remove the breathing apparatus she would sofucate, Howver as I said earlier she is being poisioned as opposed to letting her die naturally as a result of her illness. Is this illigal on any of the above grounds?

Okay, I work for a phone company, and they have been forced to cut 5000 hours due to corp. telling them they have to. They already laid 30 people off, but the ones that are left are still considered "full time" employee's although they cut my hours to 32 a week (schedualed) and then they give out what they call "mandatory green time" where they can force you to go home at any time with no notice. I am a single mother, and I tried to file for gov help (like foodstamps, daycare ect.) but I don't qualify fot them because my employer still has me filed as a full time employee... Is this legal? I don't see how it could be, but they are a pretty large company. Is there anything that I can do? Oh yea, I'm in Idaho.... Anything will help! Thanks

Why the US did not invade Israel ,after Israel failed to comply these resolutions which are more the the ones Iraq refused to obey.?
A list of UN Resolutions against "Israel"

Here is a list of UN resolutions that Israel has not complied. As far as I know they have ignored every single resolution.

The Republican party is over-run with neo-cons such as Bush and Co.

Do you even know what neo-cons are?

Neo-con: (def) The prefix neo- refers to two ways in which neoconservatism was new. Many of the movement's founders, originally liberals, Democrats or from Socialist backgrounds, were new to conservatism.

These aren't the warm-fuzzy-idealists "let's take care of people" type, but the scary Stalin, New World Order type.

I though you conservatives hated socialists...why have you let them take over? They obviously weren't getting what they wanted from the Dems--so you went ahead and got rid of our trash for us and gave them front row seats at the White House.

Does it bother any of you that your party has been hijacked and infiltrated by lots of Stalinesque Socialists?

Or...are they just slow on catching on?

I personally enjoy hearing him directly rather than get my information about him from other sources, just to make sure everything is in context.

I am also a conservative, but I don't want to let that dissuade your opinions on him. Good or bad, what do you think about him overall. Do you listen to him? Do you hate him? If you hate him why? If you like him why?

Like I said before, I like him even though I think there are some things that he could let go a little bit, like his rants about incandesent light bulbs. I do, however agree with him on most of what he says though. Just tell me what you think.

This will be the first in a series of questions I will ask about liberals and democrats alike. Don't let my opinions influence you though, find out for yourself and feel free to answer however you like here.
