Honestly, I agree. I'm Hispanic and think it is better if immigrants stick with English and learn the language. I was put in ESL when I was in Junior High and asked to be removed. Thankfully, I made the right decision (as did my mother who helped me) because I became more successful than those who were left in ESL...Communicating properly is one of the keys to success IMHO. What do you guys think?

Its WRONG to Drink and Drive let alone HIT and RUN.But mediacorp actor Christopher Lee did BOTH! Worst, one victim had to amputate his toe due to the accident.He(Chris) did not even bother to render any help after hitting the 2 victims.(is like let them die/fend for themselves on the streets) How inhuman is that!Thank goodness the victims survived.After what he had done,he got only 4 weeks jail sentence!Many expected a min of 6 to 12 months will be more justifable.Now many ppl will think its not such a big deal (Drunk Driving, Hit and Run)following what Christopher got.Have the government done enough to drive a stern message to the public that acts like these WILL NEVER be tolerated?

Very important..

If you're going 81 mph in a 45 zone in georgia and you have about 10 previous tickets (all speeding) spread out over the last five years, what is probably going to happen to you??

Happened to a close friend of mine. He was arrested on the spot and spent just the night in jail. had his court date this week and was told to get a lawyer because the max sentence was a fine plus 5 yrs in jail!

No he wasn't intoxicated nor did he have a suspended license or anything else. only i think they may have tagged him for reckless drivng as well.
From the sounds of it what is his 'punishment' probably going to be (appx) mostly just worried about the jail time!!
His court date isn't till next month..
Thanks!♥

According to Elizabeth Cady Stanton, famous feminist of the past, the Bible (as interpreted by christian conservatives of the day), was the greatest obstacle to women's rights in this country. So much so that she wrote her own version of the Bible, with the sexist parts removed.

When the women's suffrage organization that Susan B. Anthony ran (as President) wanted to write a resolution stating that the organization had no official connection with the controversial Women's Bible, this is what Susan had to say:

Which would you resort to so that you could feed your children.

Assume all are under non-violent circumstances, i.e., you would not commit the crime if it involved direct physical violence.

1 - theft of food
2 - theft of cash/valuables to sell to pay for food
3 - selling marijuana
4 - selling hard drugs (heroin, meth, anything beyond marijuana)
5 - prostitution (female OR male)
6 - crossing an international border so that you could do "legal" work (i.e. cleaning, gardening, farm work, etc.), although without the legal right to do so.
7 - crossing an international border to do illegal work (selling drugs, prostitution, etc.)

Feel free to qualify any conditions.

Remember, your children are starving!

Now is the time to speak from your mind. Imagine if PA Cyber just vanished one day. Your lives would be dramatically different and forever impacted in a negative way. It is not only your responsibility but also your duty to keep your school up and running. State Representative Beyers has introduced a bill in Congress (House Bill 446) that would change the way cyber schools receive funding. It jeopardizes the existence of all the cyber charter schools in the state. She is attempting to put 17,000 students out of cyber schools and pl

It tells me that the city of Los Angeles does not respect the local, state, and federal laws when it comes to white celebrity (socialite) inmates. I don't care if they put her right back in. The mere fact that she was let out says enough.

I think everyone involved should be fired and Paris should serve a year in jail with the general population in there.

What is your opinion?

Every one of these idiot theories have been refuted by investigation, yet you still see people coming out and trying to convince others that this was an "inside job". Bush was in office 8 months before this happened, not enough time to set up something like this. Also the military people that would have to cooperate in this crime would not.
The only answer that makes sense is that this was a terrorist attack carried out by Osama Bin ladin. Just like the one ignored by Clinton in 93.
