Serious question. Please no stupid answers.
Today, i was parked in a grocery parking lot, not handicapped, regular space. A police officer cruised by and stopped and wrote a ticket for someone without a handicap sticker of any kind that was parked in the handicapped parking. Question. Is it illegal to park in the handicapped parking without a sticker? What is the penalty?
No, I do not park in handicapped parking. I think its wrong. I have relatives that use handicapped parking so I know and understand why they need and deserve that space. Im asking from a legal standpoint.
Thank you for the legitimate answers. Have a good night!

Let me first state that I have never supported the decision to invade Iraq and I think Bush's administration has been a disgrace, but I have to wonder...

..the Democrats seem hell bent on getting the troops out as fast as possible. As a Democrat, does it concern you at all that this would completely strengthen the resolve of Islamic terrorists?

Didn't osama make statements even prior to the attack on Iraq suggesting that the US has a history of running if given enough resistance, and thus leaving Iraq now will be pretty much exactly what he predicted. If I were an enemy of the US, I would be very content knowing the US was leaving Iraq becuase I would then know that all I would ever have to do to beat back the US military is to order up a number of suicide bombers until the US population got fed up and demanded the US left.

Politics aside, don't you see a problem emboldening the terrorists?

The people of the District of Columbia moved a step closer Thursday to gaining voting rights denied to them for more than 200 years. But the legislation passed by the House on a 241-177 vote faced a veto threat from the White House, which said the bill was unconstitutional.

Like the failed social programs that tear families apart and force people to live addicted to the system in poverty without hope, then blame Republicans for not wanting to join this social slavery?

All dorm rooms should have metal detectors and video cameras. Why would a child need a gun at school. On top of this Cho wasn't even an American citizen. Why on Earth would we allow visitors from other countries buy guns? It would be like giving nuclear bombs to Bin Laden. The person that said that non-Americans can come to American and buy weapons of destruction (no matter how small they are) made a big mistake. These terrorists say that they hate us because we're free and because we're wealthy but they must be more dissatisfied with their own countries otherwise they wouldn't come to America. They are truly hypocrites. They ought to improve their own countries rather than terrorize better off countries. Jealousy and frustration is not a justification for murder. If a person is producing less than their share in society instead of being embarrassed and killing people they wish they were like they ought to work on trying to be like the people they envy.

Do you think these laws should be extended on account of the growing anti-social and criminal gang culture spilling out onto the streets in Britain? For example there are huge gangs of youths who hang around in my street and they are often abusive and threatening. I know elderly people who are afraid to leave the house. I've seen them pick on lone people trying to walk their dog or get to the local shops.

Recently we've began standing up to them and have had a group of them with weapons enter our garden threatening to assault us. By the time the police get here they are gone and difficult to identify as they dress the same and wear caps. We are advised that even although these youths enter our property, hugely out-number us and wield weapons (including blades), we would be prosecuted should we also attain weapons and proceed to defend our property and ourselves while we await the police to attend. How should we deal with issues such as this?

I keep getting speeding tickets. I need a radar detector that is reasonably priced and that works the best. I live in california so i also need one that is up to date with the radar guns of the local police. Also, do all radar detectors make the radar gun unable to read my speed? or does it just detect radar? Cause i need one that does both cause it might be too late when it is detected...

Obviously, they have a history of being very slippery with facts.
Do we need to change the oath they take as more and more are questioned? Tighten things up and give them less "wiggle room"?
