I've been on the internet for a few weeks trying to find work and live in the USA. Being a soon to be divorcee, it seems that no country would allow adult single females. One has to be between a certain age group or married with kids to be accepted. Are over 40 independent ladies not permitted? I was just wondering as I'm interested in living in the US. I'm from SA.

In the UK we have had some mass immigration for some years now. One thing is clear: All people come here, Eastern Bloc, Indian, Pakistani, oriental, somalians etc.

I have noticed that all of these groups try to integrate with our society, except for those muslim peoples from the indian sub-continent, mainly Pakistan but to a lesser extent India.

The difference here is that these people try to pack out one area, and take it over. Bradford, within 20 years, now has an all Muslim Council, electorate, and nearly all business and commerce is muslim owned - they are calling for it to be governed by muslim rule. The same thing is happening in Leicester, and there are so many coming in, Im worried where it might stop.

Is this just a UK thing, or do they try to take over your country too?

For instance were you to spy a woman being mugged or raped and dived in with fists flying to save the day, unlikely as that may be, I don't think anyone, from your prdinary citizen to the police and city authorities, would condemn your action- quite the opposite and, by definition, that would be a vigilante action.

However were you to make a habit of doing so, and use potentially deadly force (a kosh, knife or gun, for example), you may face condemnation from some quarters- so how far do you think you can go?

For the good of the country!

They don't need much of case as was proven with the Clinton impeachment by the GOP. let the GOPs vote against it.

There have been many articles of impeachment written already by various Congressmen.
Its up to the US Senate to try the impeachment. I think they can present a pretty good case.

I know this sounds crazy!

If two kids, aged 13 and 14, were at a party together and the 14-year-old stabs a 20-year-old woman by mistake while very high on narcotics, and the boys are arrested, would any detention facility house them longterm in the same 2-person cell while in detention permitting they were both on good behavior? (Keep in mind that the 14-y-o is now sober. The two kids are the youngest, smallest in the whole place. Visibly shaken, no records. They are also white, not a minority group.) It is obvious it was a mistake, but neither boy will talk and no one knows specifically what happened.

Also, if the boy that plead guilty in Juvenile Court what can he expect his sentence to be? Adult court?

Would the other boy be held responsible in any way? He was just sitting there and had no control over what happened.

If the boys were brought in, obviously scared, would they be put into the population gradually or right away?

What would they do in YOUR area? PLEASE!

I am working on getting documents together for accreditation with an Australian organisation, and they require that all copies of documents be certified as true representations of the original document.

Where would I go in Paris to have copies of documents certified and what is involved with this process? Specifically, who in France has the legal authority to certify documents in this way?

If you could please provide a link that supports your answer, it would be greatly appreciated.

My family and I are thinking of applying for the Canadian permanent residence very soon. I want to be self-employed by opening a shop/small business while my spouse who is a foreign doctor can practice there or work in a hospital/clinic. I seem bewildered by the pros and cons about living in Canada. Some say even foreign doctors really have a hard time finding jobs despite the shortage of doctors there; due to scarcity of jobs or bureaucracy, educated people have to take jobs as cab drivers or pizza men, for instance. Some even have the websites for those disliking Canada: www.notcanada.com and tell all kind of scary experiences there. Some for Canada say it's certainly a great place to be. I went to schools in the US, loved it there and have siblings living there permanently, but I'm worried about the high crime rate due to its relaxed gun control. So,I'm now thinking of Canada instead. Please could anyone help me give inputs here? Thank you very much,all!GBU!

Since at least the 1920s, the Arabs have been using everything at their disposal to wipe out the Jewish people.

They do it under the guise of making peace, assuming that the world is foolish enough to accept their claims.

I know, a thousand questions have popped up about this spoiled little brat going to jail?

At fist I wanted her to go to jail for the obvious reason she broke the law and must pay for the sake of our justice system/society

Then I started thinking, wouldn't it be much more benificial to society if instead of going to jail we forced her to pay a HUGE fine to the state of california ( $ 1 000 000 +) and also have a VAST amount of money to a variety of charities (world vision, red cross, unicef, and various local charities)

Do you guys think she should go to jail for 45 days at the taxpayer's expense, or just give a very large amount of money to get out of it?

*I understand that many see this as "buying out of it" but just think about how much good all that money could do in the world, as opposed to her spending 45 days in jail, us all having a good laugh, and then she flips it and gets someone to write a tell-all book about it for even more unearned money.

Thanks in advance!

At a Phoenix area high school, a bright honors student who wants to become a doctor had submitted his personal bio for the yearbook in which he attributed his success to God. But there's a "problem." The Constitution says "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibit the free exercise thereof" so the school changed his words to "attributes his success to others." Does anyone else think our founding fathers would think Americans in the year 2007 were a bunch of idiots for interpretting the Constitution that way??? Anyone who interprets the "CONGRESS shall make no law.." to mean that a high school student can't say "I attribute my success to God" in his own short bio in a yearbook is a moron. Especially considering the "OR PROHIBIT THE FREE EXERCISE THEREOF" which comes right after that. It's sad what liberals have been trying to do to this country.

Hi! A friend of mine was fled to Kathmandu relative's home from a rural villiage because Maoists neighbors threw the bombs in her big property a few years ago. Recently she went back to reclaim her stolen properties, but found out they all destroyed her houses and were making the road entirely. Absolutely gone. Even if Maoist community party made an interim government with major political party, but they openly threaten the people who lost all their property in rural area. They don't like those people coming back to reclaim their old properties. They still terrorize now even in Kathmandu.
The term of refugee means this people is out of
homeland according to UNHCR. She barely survives in Kathmandu by a little help from me,( I am American.) but she lost all the house and property. Nothing to have. She has to flee to other country. She needs some protection.
In this case, could she claim resettlement to other nation under the recommendation by UNHCO?
Or women at risk case? Any help?

Even if you "won" (settled) the case but felt you were being belittled, brow beaten and several other things by the lawyer at the time? But the incident you were suing over was so overwhelming that it was all you could do to survive at all. So you just put one foot in front of the other and put up with it. He made many mistakes on my case and those mistakes cost me plenty.
