as an american, i was amazed when i watched a news documentary on BBC regarding "tea" parlors in which men would go to and "dress up" as women and have mid-day tea parties in drag. afterwards they get dressed back normally and return to their everyday life. is this where the term "tea bag" came from?

My teacher told me to write a letter to him (long story), but she's an f-ing b*tch (forbearing butch) and she wouldn't give me his address 0_0 (!!)

I live in Virginia, I think my Congressman is that cute guy whose name I don't know, but how can I write to him?? I mean, I've heard about people doing it before!

What does this mean exactly?
Does it mean they can collect in the state of Colorado if the collection agency is in any other state?

Exemption for out-of-state collectors: Out of state collectors are exempt if [1] collecting only by interstate means (phone, fax, mail); [2] have no Colorado client; and [3] are regulated and licensed in the state in which they reside.

I am a new business owner, and am sick of her! We constantly clash, and she seems to think she owns the joint because she pretty. She has been working for me for cash, and we only have 2 months together.

She did make me sign some paper regarding her child care. I confirmed that she got paid for 40 hr weeks cash. also by phone.... I just want to know if I can get away with dropping her and not have it come back and bite me on the butt.

thx

private companies, yet Thomas Jefferson had this to say about centralized baking.....

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies." - Thomas Jefferson.

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation then by deflation, the banks and the corporations will grow up around them, will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." -Thomas Jefferson, The Debate Over The Recharter Of The Bank Bill, (1809).

why aren't more Americans in uproar that the value of our dollar has gone from $1.00 in 1913 when the private Federal Reserve took over to .04 $ today ??
do we need to take back control of our monetary system?

The USA has now had a trade embargo against Cuba for approaching 45 years. Cuba is socialist but is now isolated politically and is no longer a potential base for Russian nuclear missiles. Should the trade embargo be abandoned? What do you think?

The National Research Council has estimated that the net fiscal cost of all immigration (legal and illegal) ranges from $11 billion to $22 billion per year.

The current cost of the war in Iraq is $432,265,000,000 and counting since March 20th, 2003 when the invasion began. For the mathematically challenged thats over 100 Billion dollars a year not to mention the lives of over 3000 American soldiers.

Many of you Y/A posters are on here vehemently challenging and complaining about how much illegals are costing us yet you give the pass to the war which cost 5 to 10 times more. I don't know about you but if the wind blew a dollar out of my hand in one direction and a dime fell and rolled the other direction, I would go after the dollar first.

IMO most of you pro-war, anti-immigration types are chasing the dime. Your thoughts?

I'm 22 years old, in Columbus Ohio. I'm moving out of the house I lived in with my mother. I paid half the utillities, but no rent. I'm moving in with my boyfriend, Bob, 26, whom my mother hates and has threatened to have arrested for trespassing should he enter the house or step on the property with the intention of helping me move my stuff.

I know he cannot be kept from parking on the street by my house (residential suburb), but I want to know if he can be arrested for trespassing even if I invite him as still a current resident.

Help, ASAP.

and in all the adverts for it they put a muslim woman in the middle of the union flag. so is the real reason to force more multiculturism on us, or tell us more about how wonderful muslims are realls. why wont they give us st georges day as a national holiday for england. the scots have st andrews day, the welsh st davids, and the irish st patricks, and so they should, but when it comes to england, its got to be british, same as the national anthems, flower of scotland, land of my fathers, etc, but england has god save the queen, she is queen of britain, not just england. we are being suffocated and diluted, what should we do about it as englishmen and women?

How much do you really know about the law & your rights when approached by Law Enforcement Officers that just get off on the prestige /Power Of The Badge? How many of you fear Law Enforce-ment Officials? Why? Don't just assume you know enough about any situation that law enforcement might throw your way, whatever the case may be. Guilty before proven innocent has become the law of the land, especially here in Kern County ,Northern CA. What are your opinions of why some Cops abuse the authority of their power. Do you think they intended to manipulate the power, even before they decided to become a Cop? Keep in mind that their line of duty is to protect , NOT to harrass. Are they being taught these procedures in the Police Academy or were they just born a DI-CH to begin with? Perhaps abuse was in their past, or we could chalk it up to the big bully in school that always took their milk money. Never fear them for they too, put their pants on in the morning just like me & you.

Just curious to what would happened if things for some reason went sour between us and them. Please try not to insult other members of political parties ridicule, or blame them, that is not what this question asks.
