No pertaining answers as of yet:
I was raped about 5 yrs ago. The rapist was my bf at the time. He spent a lot of time humiliating me, and continues to.
I was in the navy, but off base. Navy looks negatively on female rape victims, rather than the rapists (hence no report)

There's proof to questionable behavior on his behalf (him yelling at our 4 mo. daughter-3.5 yrs ago), as well as a car crash when he was 16 due to anger at his parents (was a school nt./across state lines from home)

He's admitted to me that I did say no, but likened it to "we've had sex before." and mimicked my past sex sounds as his proof of consent

I have the exact conception date/location, as well as my daughter's birthdate.

so I'm curious:

*will he be arrested (we both live in diff't states from the incident)?
*will it then go to court?
*will he be allowed to get a polygraph (since he's a convincing lier, but he knows I said "no" more than once!)
*what happens with custody if I don't win?

I am thinking of getting a fake ID from this person I know. I live in Florida and the ID is from another state across the country. I am 18 and the ID will say I am 21. If a cop in florida sees me, will he know its fake. I know this is all illegal I am just wondering. I know the License numbers can be called in but is that only in the state that issued the ID? It wont have holograms, but still not every state's ID does.

In case Gonzales thought the worst had passed with his punishing testimony last week before the Senate Judiciary Committee, the chairman and top Republican issued a new demand: Refresh the memory that Gonzales claimed had "failed him 71 times" during the seven-hour session.

Or is it just more lame fear tactics to scare brainless americans into voting for a 9/11 criminal?
Giuliani said terrorists “hate us and not because of anything bad we have done; it has nothing to do with Israel and Palestine. They hate us for the freedoms we have and the freedoms we want to share with the world.” lmao

My cousin, who is in the army, said that because guys are out at war for so long, that some guys will actually rape other guys. He said that if you're a thin and have a kinda girlish face, then don't join the army because you will get raped, or atleast felt up alot. He also claimed he saw it happen to a rookie.

So how true is this?

By 21-10, the House oversight committee voted to issue a subpoena to Rice to compel her story on the Bush administration's claim, now discredited, that
Iraq was seeking uranium from Africa.
Is the corrupt house of cards known as the Bush administration finally falling under the strict scrutiny they should have been under the first place?

After issuance of traffic citation, if Police Dept discovered they issued ticket by mistake.

Can they approach the Court and nullify the ticket? Or do they have to wait until court date and bring it up to the Judge?

Japan already bans almost all privately owned firearms, with only strictly licensed and registered rifles and shotguns allowed for the privileged few who can afford them. Yet here they are tightening down the controls again because (SURPRISE!!!) criminals used illegally gotten guns to kill a notable person.

Geez, I think that tired old canard about "only criminals will have guns" is quite apropos for this situation. Am I correct?

i posted a question on why, in my humble opinion, the Cons are always bashing the Libserals on Yahoo! Answers. I was told I was crazy, that Libs do the same; so I took a couple of hours and started scanning various questions and answers, and guess what? Lib bashing seems to lead Con bashing by about 25-1.

I think I'm a lib, not sure nowadays. Here is what I believe and you tell me.

Handguns need to be outlawed. Lot's of countries outlaw them and they have lower murder/violent crime rates.

Freedom of Religion means people shouldn't be subjected to prayer in public schools, public events, or anything relating to the public.

Government should provide some healthcare umbrella.

Women have the right to choose, up to a certain point of the pregnancy.

Christian values don't apply to everyone, otherwise the whole world would be Christian.

Free speach is Free speech, unless it is harmful.

Free Economy boosts national wealth.

So what am I? Please help me!

FORT BRAGG, N.C. - The spouses of the 82nd Airborne have grown accustomed to peeking through their blinds in the mornings to make sure a casualty notification team isn't waiting outside.

This week, nine of those families were discovering the worst: Two truck bombs killed nine of their paratroopers in the division's deadliest day of combat since the Vietnam War.

Neither of the explosives-laden trucks penetrated the patrol base's inner perimeter in Iraq's Diyala province, but the second blast ruptured a building wall, collapsing its second floor and causing most of the soldier casualties, a U.S. military statement said Wednesday.

It was reported today 70% of Americans are now against the war and want the troops to come home due to the fact the war can not and will not be won. This war is Vietnam number two.

I keep hearing some of the right-wingers here claim that liberals don't believe in God. Of course, I know that there are plenty of liberals who are very religious and spiritual, so I would like some examples. By the way, I'm a Deist!
