Will a new mugshot be taken of her? I usually try not to give a crapola about celebs but I'm just curious if we'll be seeing a less than glamourous mug shot of Paris Hilton....

I see a lot of partisan back and forth here but I don't see the conservative viewpoint being backed up by a great deal of fact. I like a substantial opponent when I argue. Can conservatives consider all sides of an issue, or do they form a blanket ideal from what they heard on Fox News?

I think we should because then we would actually get out and work. Their would no longer be the Rich and the Poor. No longer would we have the very rich do nothing to conturibute to society excpet crazy stories and no longer would we have the poor do nothing except get free money. People might actually get out there and help one another. But thats just a theory.

Have you been given a loan, even though you cant afford the repayments or have you been treated unfairly by any organisation, like the Tax credits office or post office?
If you have, it may be a Social Policy issue. Did you know that you can report stuff like this to your CAB? They will complete evidence forms to send to a central Social Policy offices, to try to change the law. If we campaign for change together, we can make things happen.

Perhaps it was because:

- He slashed all our social services in the 1980's (thus sending thousands of mentally ill to live on the streets)
- He built up our military to levels larger than during WWII (and he wasn't even responsible for ending the Cold War)
- He put the us into the biggest deficit the United States had ever seen up until his term.
- He was a McCarthyist "commie-fighter"
- He espoused the "free market" and ruthless/innefective "trickle-down economics
- He the worst Governor California had ever seen (he despised the ant-Vietnam war student protesters at Berkeley)
- He was responsible for carrying on the torch of radical, neoconservative economic and political theory in the tradition of Barry Goldwater and Irving Kristol
- He was jerk-off...

1. Freedom of speech is granted by God, not by government.
2. A government is it's people.
3. "A house divided against itself cannot stand" -Jesus Christ Matthew 12:25
4. Jesus taught us that a majority of people must support the government for the government to succeed. A country will not collapse in a day, as evil still exists, but good always conquors evil.
5. The mind and body are distinct. Bodies can be contained, but minds cannot. A system of belief (or governance) cannot be imposed on the minds of people who do not agree. The body is controlled by the mind. Any government (The US) who wishes to "liberate" a group of people through oppression (war, and the appointment of officials) can not succeed when the "liberated" peoples disagree with the system of oppression.
6. When a minority of people wish to be "liberated" by the US, such "liberation" is oppression, wheras if the minority were opposed it would be suppression.
Troops cannot give a freedom "speech" which God gives.

I have been interested in trying to buy a deralict house and have found out by land registry that the high court of appeal has put a charge on the property which an order was made under the queens bench division that no one could sell the house or do anything to it without getting permission from the court. Does anyone know a court would do this,could it be that the owner has died and not left a will?

I am almost feeling sorry for Paris today because the sheriff should not have released her in the first place. I think it is cruel to release someone and then drag them back to jail like it was her fault she was released. Don't you think he should be at least fired?

I keep seeing all of these posts that claim Ron Paul said America was to blame for the 9/11 attacks. Being how I was watching the debate when Mr. Paul said, and I will paraphrase, "American foreign policy is the reason these people show such hatred towards us", I don't understand how anybody can construe that to mean "Ron Paul blames America first". Is he not correct in his assertion? Have our foreign policies not led to resentment and contempt from a lot of countries in the world?

I think we all need to understand that our foreign policies have been gaining us enemies for decades. This is not something that any one President or any one party is responsible for. And it is ultimately the perpetrators of the attack that bear the most responsibility (in a literal sense) for their haneous acts.

Instead they try to censor any opinion that doesn't fall in line with theirs,like in this forum for example just trying to get peoples comments deleted by falsely reporting perfectly valid questions and answers. Why are they such cowards?

Paris Hilton is going back to jail for her full 45 days because the LA Sheriff is an idiot and a UK judge just give George Michael community service for the same offense!

I think Paris got the sentence she did simply because she's famous. I think the judge is putting public opinion ahead of the law.

Does anyone have anything constructive to offer instead of this "Paris is a spoiled brat" garbage that has nothing to do with the fact that if average Joe Public commited the same crimes he'd do absolutely no time what so ever?

I read this question that a lady posted about her brother who had a child who was born with a disability. She showed no concern or love towards her little niece at all. She only wanted her brother to feel ashamed for getting public assistance for his disabled child! I cried for the child to have such a snob for an Aunt. Are there other people this cold hearted?

I know it's wrong, but it takes away democrat voters. As long as democrats keep killing off their children (abortion), and conservatives keep killing them off with the death penalty, and locking them up (since about 99% of criminals are democrat), shouldn't we leave well enough alone for the greater good? For that matter, shouldn't we promote homosexuality, since it keeps liberals from being able to reproduce? It shouldn't be long before the religious right are the only ones capable of reproducing.

My brother got a DUI in California a few years ago. He paid all the fines and went to the classes but didn't go to his final court appearance due to a family emergency. He's been living on the east coast since and wonders if he can ever fly into CA again or if they will pull his file at the airport and arrest him there. Anyone have and information for me to tell him?

Do you think that it's crazy that we work our *** off for pieces of paper? I mean to work 40 hours a week for green pieces of paper is crazy to me. But if we stopped using money what else would we use for currency? Trade? Is money a good thing instead of trade?

WASHINGTON – Someone has finally fixed an approximate taxpayer cost of between 12 million and 15 million illegal aliens residing in the U.S.

A new study by the Heritage Foundation's Robert Rector found a household headed by an individual without a high school education, including about two-thirds of illegal aliens, costs U.S. taxpayers more than $32,000 in federal, state and local benefits. That same family contributes an average of $9,000 a year in taxes, resulting in a net tax burden of $22,449 each year.

Over the course of the household's lifetime that tax burden translates to $1.1 million.

ain't liberalism grand? :-)~

Bush is one of the strongest and most tough Presidents we have had in many years. He attacks countries that are a threat to America, and destroys danger. Our enemies, like Russia and Iran, are afraid of Bush because they know that if they do something, their country will be a parking lot in 20 minutes. That is the way it should be. Liberals try to talk things out, which makes our enemies laugh and unafraid. Bin Laden supports the Democrats because they want us to stop fighting our enemies and run away. Real Americans fight until all of our enemies are dead.

Or are we gonna have to chose sides again in the next election? Personally, I think that our greatest leaders in history have come from both sides of the aisle, and drew support from a very sizable majority of the country. Some examples include FDR, Reagan, Eisenhower, Teddy Roosevelt, and Washington.

After the last few years, can we all agree that we need someone that will unite us and bring back our respect from the world? If there is a person who can do this, who is it?
