my son a student nurse assisted a casualty at the local cinema. The casualty was a friend who had called him at work to say that she did not feel well and could he come over as soon as possible. when he attended his frind was unconsious on the floor, she had fainted and fallen down some stairs. On his approach the manager who was standing over the casualty asked my son "what should we do" my son told him to get an ambulance. My son at a later date and on the request of the girls parents quite vocally expressed that the situation had not been handled appropriatly by the staff member who was the first aider on duty. Since the incident the cinema (vue) have banned him indefinatly. The cinema have said that my son interfered with management decisions, when we asked them to elaberate on this they refused. My understanding of legislation is that there has to be an end date to a retailers ban to an individual or possibly a writen explanation. Please help as there is a principle

I think Fox News is great until Bill O'Reilly comes on TV and starts his ranting. He is a little too far right-wing for me. It was the first news channel to talk about the rape allegations against Clinton, which Liberal channels like MSNBC and CNN are avoiding because they are afraid to do anything that will make Clinton look bad. It also shows some of the positives about the Iraq War, and also shows what is really happening.

To all of the left-leaning thinkers out there, here's your chance to prove your mettle.

Using actual verifiable facts, explain to me just how it is possible to equate President Bush with the likes of Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin.

It seems to me that the ones shouting the loudest about hate and discrimination are the most hateful and discriminatory among us. Doesn't that bother you at all? Seems rather hypocritical and destroys the Lefts' credibility.

OK, lets have it.

Janet Reno is a good example. She fried a few dozen Davidians, "accepted full responsibility" but then served out the full eight if I recall correctly. There are countless other examples leftys so try to stay out of the moveon.org playbook on this one.

What would you do to amuse yourselves if Yahoo Answers was deleted from the site? Would you go out in public spouting the nonsense that is spewed in here and risk having you lights punched out? Would you actually do something that may benefit society? Would you help a neighbor without first finding out whether they are conservative or liberal? Would you have the balls to even venture out of cyberspace and have a face to face conversation with another living soul?

Is it the fact that they have defended our country for over 200 years?

Is it the fact that they have fought in wars all over the planet for the freedoms of people they've never met,in countries they've never been to,and never asked for anything in return but a place to bury their dead?

Is it the fact that they have selflessly defended the rights of others with very little reward other than personal pride for a job well done?

Of course Libs always say they support and love the Military,but their actions by and large put the lie to that statement.

So we've been in for quit a few years now. We have been to a couple of bases, but there was always a reason other than just putting in orders. So my husband just put in for orders overseas for his first time and I was wondering about how long it may be until we find out if we're going anywhere and are our chances high for going? He's a cop and put in for overseas extended long (he put in for 4 bases in the same area.)

Ideally, ALL the small parties would join together and put all their policy items in terms of promises to conduct referenda.

This means that EVERY fringe party who can in principle support Direct Democracy (as originally practiced by the Ancient Athenians) would put their manifestoes together, promise to allow the citizen to vote on whether to withdraw from the EU, bring back the death penalty, have lower taxes, withdraw from Iraq etc etc. They would NOT be compromising their principles if they agreed to let the voters to decide on their more controversial policies or by joining together to defeat the Lib-Lab-Con!

This proposed party would just be the "one-stop shop" where ALL policies offered by ALL parties would be on offer to the electorate.

Isn't this the only way to defeat the mainstream parties who are all saying the same thing (about taxes, education, the war in Iraq) and not giving the citizen any choice at all?

Fling tells guy she's pregnant-female has baby calls guy for child support-she refuses to go to court or get side paternity test-guy really wants to know if child is his so he CAN support child or move on with own life
Also, does the alleged father have to pay "back support" when she was the one holding up the proceedings?

President is head of state of Indian republic and wields powers of supreme commander of armed forces yet interestingly he is merely a rubber stamp and cannot do much to uplift the country.

It seems like there are only two sets of views in the country. Democrat or Republican. What about what a person believes in? It seems like the politicians are trying to please their party, instead of seeing what's right for the people. Like if a Democrat is pro-war or a Republican is pro-abortion, they will be blasted by their fellow parties and people, so it seems they have to change their views to be "democrat" or "republican". Why can't people just discuss their own personal views, even if you support both the Patriot Act and Stem Cell Research? Then the people decide our president, as always?
