OK I asked this earlier but never got the correct answer all the answers were tip toed around and never got to the question I asked... My question was does the Bank hold the bonus if it is a large amount, like they do a check.. to make sure it clears... My husband is in Iraq he renlisted (sp).. he is getting close to 15000.00, now I am really lost because he is on a mission and I dont have a way to talk to him about what others said..
I was told by the other answers earlier, he will get it in 50% then 25%, and 25%... he told me lump sum... then the other answers said it was NOT tax free, when my understanding is that it is...

Am I just wrong or are they lol.. .I am lost and I was paying all our bills off with it and needed to know if I need to stop the plans and forget about it... oh yeah last thing is people were saying it would take 2 months to get.. IS THAT RIGHT?

I flew to the UK once before in March 2006 but was denied entry. I applied in Feb 2007 for a visit visa but was denied that because of the lack of a letter of invitation from my boyfriend. Is it possible to just fly back and try again at the port of entry. I could carry all my documents and bankstatments with me to the port of entry and my boyfriend would be there at the airport if they need to question him. Is it possible to do that without applying again for a visit visa?

Many Americans criticize how children in the Middle East are taught from the time they are little to hate Americans, but aren't Americans doing the same? Most Americans don't know anything about countries such as Iran or Iraq. It is because of that the Iraq war happened, because a president said a certain country had weapons of mass destruction, and because Americans are SO unaware of anything outside the USA, the American people went into war without stopping to think if that fact was true or not. Kids need to be more educated about life in other countries. Most girls love Princess Jasmine from the princess collection, they have a lot of that merchandise. What if Disney made a show in which Princess Jasmine showed kids how's life in Middle Eastern countires, and teach them about their beliefs, people, and life. It would be great if American kids grew up knowing more about the world than this generation.

I am having a hard time understanding the law about the drinking age. I know that in 1984 the drinking age was going to be upped to 21, but then I am getting information that says it happened in 1987. I understand that in 1984 the Federal government said that each state is required to up the drinking age to 21, or lose federal money for state highway funding. But where does the 1987 come into play? Or is completely wrong, because I think that the 1984 law says that no one under 21 can purchase or possess alcohol, but it doesn't say anything about not consuming it. Please someone help me understand this!

If you compare illegal drugs to cigaretts in a way that over time both are destructive to your health. Why does the government push to get drugs off the streets but lets cigarett companies legaly produce. And then its the consumers fault if they smoke and die but not tobaco companies fault, unless they issue warning. Why don't they legalize drugs and put warnings on the packages!

Mr. Sharpton is a phony in my opinion, he seems to persecute people as much as he claims to be a good person. He tried to have the Duke Students thrown in jail for alleging raping that woman who was a liar. This guy doesn't ever stand up for white people or other backgrounds. He only stands up for black people, the guy isn't a civil rights leader he is a racist. He doesn't say boo when someone says nasty things about a Jew or an Arab, the guy is so two faced and such a phony.

True or false, why??

1) A taxpayer brought a lawsuit in order to require the CIA to make its budget public and won

2) Congress cannot alter the jurisdiction of district courts and appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court

3) The Conservative court of chief Justice Rehnquist has overturned most of the critical decisions that came out of the more liberal court, headed by chief justice warren
