Kidnap and ransom: is there any solution to the problem of the pick-up? (My interest is threoretical, mind!)?

If someone is prepared to pay a ransom to release a kidnap victim, how can the kidnapper pick up the money without a very high risk of getting caught red-handed?

What do you think of ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION?

IMO, it's a problem no matter how you slice it:

Liberal argument: Let's say that I own a small business. I want cheap labor. I want someone that I can pay as little as possible and be able to get as much labor out of them as possible. I'm the corrupt, exploitative capitalist, so to speak. *IF* I can get away with hiring illegal immigrants, I can cheat Mr. Minimum Wage American out of a job. It maximizes my own profit at the expense of fair labor laws and the stability of America, but so what? After a while, there will be so many illegal immigrants who will work for WAY BELOW minimum wage that it lowers the bar for legal US citizens, and many of them will have no choice but to work under these sweat shop conditions.

Conservative argument: It's against the law.

Why is it wrong to hire mercenaries in wartime?

As in, against the Geneva Convention? Most people throughout history have hired them to fight wars. Why not just give foreigners uniforms and pay them to serve? Why must we only use American soldiers?

What do you think about the global warming charade?

Those who cite junk science arguments should be given no forum for this trash. Al Gore is a disgrace and a lunatic. The Earth's climate goes through cyclical warming and cooling phases. Who else is aware that there is a freeze warning in effect in Florida this weekend?

Is "GLOBAL WARMING" the last bastion for communist?

It seems that the Enviromentist want the world to look like the commies do except greener. They could care less about rights or ownership as long as they get to decide who obeys the laws and who can buy "carbon offsets".

i need a good rebuttal....?

The topic is the war on drugs, and my post said that I didn't think drugs should be legalized and someone responded back with, "Technically, we wouldn't have to legalize it for the war on drugs to end. I mean, the police don't bust down doors on a regular basis to make sure the house isn't storing dead bodies, but that doesn't mean murder's suddenly been legalized.

Obviously I would prefer to legalize the stuff, but torpedoing the ridiculous "War on Drugs", with all its excesses and gang-rapes of the Constitution, would work fairly well for me too." Can someone help with a good rebuttal. 10 points to best answer.

Is top Zionist paper correct that Cheney should run for President in 2008?

Quote from paper: "Lawrence Kudlow wrote a column saying he hoped President Bush asked Vice President Cheney to run for president in 2008. It was a fine idea then and it still is — not because the current field is particularly weak, but because Mr. Cheney is so much more experienced and shrewd a figure, one who could help settle some of the arguments about the Bush years in favor of Mr. Bush.

A White House aiming to get Mr. Cheney elected could also avoid some of the hazards that befall lame-ducks — drift, brain drain, irrelevance. Such a campaign might lift Mr. Cheney 's own standing in the polls.

The vice president's stature would put him instantly into the first rank of contenders on the Republican side. On Monday, the vice president received such a warm greeting he began his remarks, "A reception like that is almost enough to make you want to run for office again."

AK-47 vrs M16....?

If an AK-47 rifle is more powerful, accurate, and efficient how come we still use an M16 over the AK?

AK's are very powerful and accurate... you could bury them in the sand come back a year later pull it out and start shooting... M16's constantly need cleaning, and maintanance so how come we still use it...

Did you see Mexican immigrants settle for $100,000 after border incident?

http://www.familybadge.org/screenprint.cfm?newsletterid=17722
Two illegal aliens have agreed to a $100,000 out-of-court settlement after threatening a multimillion-dollar civil rights lawsuit against a Texas deputy over an incident in which the lawman shot at an alien-smuggling vehicle he said tried to run him down.
Maricela Rodriguez-Garcia and Candido Garcia-Perez, Mexican nationals who were being smuggled into the U.S. in April 2005 when they were injured by fragments of the lawman's bullets, agreed to the amount after a mediation hearing in Austin, Texas. They initially asked for $1.5 million.
Mrs. Rodriguez-Garcia, struck by bullet fragments in the cheek and mouth, and Mr. Garcia-Perez, injured when fragments hit him in the arm, had targeted Edwards County, Texas, Deputy Sheriff Guillermo F. Hernandez, saying he used excessive force in causing the injuries and that in firing at the vehicle abused his authority and grossly overreacted under the circumstances.
Hernandez has been sentenced to prison in the incident.
Edwards County Sheriff Donald G. Letsinger, who also was targeted in the pending lawsuit, said his deputy was cleared in an initial investigation by the Texas Rangers, which found that Hernandez "followed the letter of the law" in defending himself. He said charges were brought only after the matter was turned over to the FBI and to U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton, who last year also won convictions against two U.S. Border Patrol agents who shot a drug-smuggling suspect as he fled back into Mexico.
"This is very bothersome to me," Sheriff Letsinger told The Washington Times. "Whether it's a U.S. citizen or a Mexican national, I just don't think the taxpayers should have to pay someone who broke the law and, in this case, someone who committed a crime by illegally trying to enter the United States.
"It's not any different than paying off a bank robber who happens to get shot on his way out of the bank," he said. "In this case, the two conspired to break the law and when they got caught tried to run down my deputy."
Hernandez, 25, was sentenced March 19 by U.S. District Judge Robert T. Dawson in federal court in Del Rio, Texas, to one year and one day in prison and ordered to pay $5,347 in damages to Mrs. Rodriguez-Garcia. The judge also ordered three years of supervised probation and an additional $5,000 fine.
He was convicted on charges of violating "under the color of law" the civil rights of Mrs. Rodriguez-Garcia during the Rocksprings traffic stop.
Hernandez told investigators that the driver of the vehicle tried to run him down after he stopped him shortly before midnight for running a red light. As he approached on foot, he said, he spotted at least eight persons lying down inside the vehicle. He said he fired shots at its rear tires as it sped off after trying to run him down.
Mrs. Rodriguez-Garcia and Mr. Garcia-Perez told investigators they paid $2,000 each to be taken across the Rio Grande from Acuna, Mexico. They said they later met the vehicle's driver and a guide, who were to take them to Austin and Dallas.
The $100,000 settlement figure was recommended by the West Texas Rural Counties Association, an insurance pool that will pay the amount. Sheriff Letsinger said attorneys for the association concluded it would have cost at least that much to respond to a lawsuit in court.
The settlement agreement also included a promise from the two Mexican nationals that they would not pursue any further litigation against the deputy, the sheriff or Edwards County.
Sheriff Letsinger said Hernandez does not plan to appeal the conviction, saying "he just doesn't trust the system anymore and I'm sure you understand why."
They tried to kill the deputy by running him over, that is not in dispute. They wanted to kill him cause he was in thier way, what makes you think they would not try to kill you too if you happened to be in their way?
Last I heard it is the Sherff's job to protect the community that elected him. Allowing murderious criminals to run loose is not my idea of protecting the community.
