Politics & Government - 1 May 2007

Basically, 2 months ago, 4 of my friends and I got caught by police with burglary tools on the way out of the neighborhood. All we did was break a window, we didn't even step on the property. 4 of us got out on bail. The one that stayed was the one that threw the rock. He plead guilty to burglary, not attempted burglary. He had a public defender and got 5 years deferred adjudication.

My question is, what do you think are my chances with a private attorney? None of us have prior offenses. I don't even have a traffic ticket on my record. Most people I've talked to said I'm probably gonna get 2 or 3 years probation.

Now that the ruling says that ANY photo of you is copyright to you, and all photo's of me are licensed to my daughter, does it mean that if ANYBODY takes a photo with me in it they have to pay copyright.
Traffic cameras, crowd scenes, somebody elses holiday snaps.
It also means that they cannot be used for ANY gain (fines?) without my daughters WRITTEN permission.
Can someone now clarify the mess we are now left with.
The ramifications are colosal. You see a car crash, you have to get permissions from all involved, no news about wars, in fact no news!!!!
It has been stated that no unauthorised photo is acceptable.

Americans wil find themselves in Waterloo like situation if they attack Iran.It is unfortunate that the American leaders for the past decades have tried very hard to impose their ideas and rulings on third world countries including Iran.I am sure this time America will not succeed any longer and instead find itself in a situation that has no other option that to retreat!so my advice to Mr. Bush is dont create another shameful situation for Americans and let us live at peace and try fight our common enimies such as deceases and other destructive elements which hurting human beings together.Let other smaller and weaker nations also taste their own free society without interferance of super power.I hope and pray that there be no other war and bloodshed ever happen in Iran................

When you read the platforms, they seem to be pretty much identical? When did the Democrat Party merge with the Socialists and why was it not mentioned in the media?

ANTI-WAR (Iraq) - Socialist Party USA They cynically expect that you will put your morals aside and let war crimes be committed in your name. They think you're scared and ignorant enough to go along with anti-Arab racism. They think you can be hoodwinked into giving up your Constitutional rights for the illusion of security. Prove them wrong. Join us in resisting the war. http://sp-usa.org/statements/20020921-iraq.html

Republicans and Democrats are all rich, yet the republicans live in fancy neighborhoods and send their kids to private schools, and make no bones about it... Democrats do the same, but tout bills to bring minorites that cause racial tension into middle class neighborhoods, Democrats are all about helping the poor, yet they don't have to live with them or send their kids to school with them. They push the poor on the middle class. They say they, try to help middle class, but all they do is cause trouble. They are hypocrates. At least the Republicans tell it like it is! Comments?

I ask this question because there are a lot of people who seem to think it is a large number. I could use Vietnam as an example (50,000). What about Iwo Jima in WW2 (5,000). Normandy. Battle of the Bulge. Why is it horrible when someone who knows what they are getting into and have the training to defend themselves dies? Is it worse to die like that or from being a disgustingly obese American. Over 200,000 people die every year from heart disease. Is it on the news daily? What about the drunk driving number of 16,000/year. I guess it isn't "cool" to go out and protest either one of those is it?

None of the major Party leaders listen to what the different Iraqi groups think or what our Generals think. Harry Reid makes statements like "We already lost the war". that is just as the Republicans making it look like the war would be easy. I think the Political divisions over this war have gotten out of hand and at the cost of our troops and the Iraqi people. They need to stop the finger pointing and find a way to bring real lasting peace and not "bail out" as the Dems want or "escalate the fighting" as the Republicans want. The only guys who seem to want to talk about something else are Brownback and Biden.
