It seems to me that too many in this country feel that America can do no wrong. They seem to think that the United States has never done anything wrong and will never do anything wrong. It seems like they think that the United States has no problems and that we are at the height of perfection. Then if anyone questions anything about us, they are "terrorist traitors". I love this country and i wouldn't want to live any where else in the world but don't you think that too many people are just blind to the things that we do wrong? If you can't admit that we aren't 100% perfect, isn't there something wrong there? Isn't that just stupid and arrogant?

I was recently overcharged at CVS for three items that where listed on sale in the weekly ads. I argued with the cashier and then the manager that this is consistently happening at CVS. I remember watching a news report about new federal laws that punish grocery stores for scanning sale items for higher prices since it is widely occuring and stores are making more money off of unknowning consumers. Does anyone know what this federal law is? Like the name of it and a link to an explanation of what it covers? I want to call lCVS corporate and complain with some legal support. Thank you

I'm aware that many troops have died in the war, however I respect their decision of becoming a soldier, they knew the consequences of being put on the front line.

What my main concern is those of you who oppose the war because you think we're only there to steal their oil.

Are you aware that everyone in the world needs oil? When our own supply runs out, how are you going to drive your cars to work or take the bus? How will you take a vacation or visit family members on an airline?

The situation is that the Mormon Church discriminated against me twice on the basis of criminal back ground and mental illness. After convincing me that baptism into their Church was the only way into Heaven, they told me that I could not get baptized because I was on parole. This caused me alot of emotional anguish because my crime was triggered by abuse. They offered no counceling services for the intense emotions brought up when my Salvation was postponed and criticized me for calling the missionaries all the time crying. Then almost a year later when I got off parole, I was denied baptism on the basis of mental illness. I'm Bipolar and they said that I might not be accountable for my sins and would not be able to keep a covenant with God. All the improvements I made didn't please them. I have no written proof that they discriminated against me.

I think this might reduce the number of child molesting priests, and create a more natural lifestyle for priests. NOTE: I am not catholic.

I had a trust account set up by my grandfather on my dad's side. My mom and dad are not together. In fact, they were never married. Anyway, my mom and I live in California and my dad moved to Nebraska a few years after I was born. So I hardly know the guy.

I kept getting these papers from Franklin-Templeton saying I had a trust account set up for me. The last statement I received had a balance of over $9000. This was right before my 18th birthday. Shortly thereafter, my dad wrote me a letter saying he was transferring the money to a higher-yielding account and that I would receive my money at age 21 as my sister did.

My sister died of cancer a few years prior, so I could never confirm with her whether she received the money at age 18 or 21. For some stupid reason, I just took my dad's word for it.

Well, I just turned 21 and I still don't have the money. What should I do? The money is granted to me in my grandfather's will (which I have a copy of).

I have recently become responsible for selling my disabled grandmothers' house after the death of my grandfather. I have no legal authority to do so, but my mother is emotionally incapable of handling the situation and needs me to take care of it. A neighbor has approached with a price, however I do not know if it is a fair price. My grandmother is mentally handicapped due to a stroke and wants twice the price he has offered. She is incapable of understanding "fair market value" or the negotiations, but has the legal authority to completely destroy any negotiations I undertake with the neighbor. To further complicate the matter, the house is in terrible condition and is over 2 hours away from where I live. I cannot spend the time, money, or effort to fix it up. It needs to be sold "as is." This problem has been hanging over my family for a year and a half. I need information on what I am legally able to do to settle this for good.

...why do people listen to ANYTHING that comes out of Jimmy Carter's mouth regarding peace in Israel or anywhere else? Why didn't Jimmy Carter put George H.W. Bush in jail for blowing up the Cuban jet airliner through CIA backing of Luis Posada Carriles? Especially since Jimmy Carter, A SUPPOSED CHRISTIAN, was pro-choice?

It all sounds so great on paper... birds chirping, everybody working together for the "common good", from one man according to his ability, to another man according to his need, all that jazz. Is this notion still what draws people to this bankrupt philosophy? Ignoring the millions dead and tortured by brutal communists? Why people still insist that all failed communist societies were due solely to "the wrong people in charge"?
