I just saw a 10 years old child working in my neighbor's backyard, he and his dad is doing pavement work for the drive way. This is not the first time I saw this child, he always worked in the yard afterschool hour or in the weekend. ( They're not related to my neighbor-white, they looked hispanic) It's kind of hot outside, about 90 degrees outside, however he and his dad always worked together, does this constitute as a child laborer or should I just leave them alone, since they're working for a living?

Can we admit the reason why people were so pissed about Don Imus being fired is that he degraded black women and 2 black leaders were the ones calling for his firing?

I've never seen so much "support" for a liberal from cons in my life.

Had Mike Huckabee and Bill O'Reilly been the ones calling for a black Imus firing, would anyone have been up in arms about it at all?

Are we really going to continue to pretend it was a freedom of speech thing?

i Haven't talked to my brother in a while.

I thought I saw some one else in his car picking someone up that I didn't recognize at Caltrans.

When I called sunnyvale pd to do a welfare check on him one night, they didn't want to disturb the neighborhood or him so they just left a note in the morning, when he wouldn't have been there anyway, that is if he's still working.They didn't bust in the door. So how do they know if he's alright?
I tried to call. and there was no answer.

I have been harrasssed by the sunnyvale plice.. One actually got a job in Sacramento and illegally towed my car.

Some cops are mental cases, he may be afraid of them. I have been. but then what do you do if you need help?

Attacking cocaine at its source was meant to drive up prices, yet U.S. street dealers are selling it for less than ever.
by Ken Dermota
If the four-year slog in Iraq seems endless, consider this: The “war on drugs,” begun by Richard Nixon, escalated under Ronald Reagan, and continued by every president since, is now in its 37th year. In this long struggle, the past few months have been especially fruitful. In March, the U.S. Coast Guard intercepted a freighter off Panama laden with 20 tons of cocaine, in the largest maritime bust ever. That was followed in April by Colombian authorities’ seizure of a 15-ton cache most likely awaiting shipment to Mexico.
Of course, the good news is soured by the fact that cocaine production remains robust enough to allow shipment in 20-ton batches. The Coast Guard would need to repeat its recent haul about every two weeks to intercept all the cococaine that Colombia sends north, and there’s no guarantee traffickers wouldn’t just ship more to make up for the losses, as they have always done.

my husband is in AIT and is getting trained to repair air conditioners. he will be stationed in Germany when he graduates. he might be deployed to Iraq from there. his DS told him that he will be repairing AC"s in iraq if he goes and is going to be board out of his mind knowing that that is all he is going to be doing. this sounds like a bunch of BS to me. someone please tell me if you know anyone in iraq that is doing anything else besides fighting.

I think it is a fine, patriotic American organization.

The Halliburton Foundation generously contributes funds to U.S. non-profit organizations which include education, health, social service, welfare, medical research and youth programs. Also included are cultural and community organizations such as performing arts groups, zoos, public television, museums, and wildlife and environmental conservation.

Seriously-why do people think that lying under oath is a "personal matter to be judged by God"?
Seems to me that is just a detrimental and undermining to our country as anything else I can think of.
After all, it makes him a liar, right? Are one persons lies excusable and not another persons?
Isn't that called hypocrisy?

I have recieved a few emails from a "reunion.com" where my ex's new wife has used my email address and said my maiden name was "prostitute." Albeit it's hillarious ( heck I laughed because it couldn't be further from the truth) but as funny as it is I feel it's harrassment and slander to start not to mention she assumed my identity to open the account. Now anyone who has searched me name on their data base has saw that name next to it as "my own." What laws protect me from this. Surely she can't get away with this? Would my local police have any jurisdiction over this? ( she lives in the state next to mine..what about finding the ISP address from when the a count was opened? help? Ps... I have a restraining order against him.

I asked a question yesterday and received several good suggestions. After 2 months the passport office is asking for 3 public record forms of ID since my birth certificate name is different from my present name. (married name). My new question is: Do I have to send in the originals? And if I do send originals has anyone ever had them NOT be returned? They now have my original birth certificate. If I send them my marriage license, income tax forms, social security card, or drivers license will I get them back with no problem? Thanks again for the great answers yesterday. I was born in Iowa and lived here 100% of my life.

footing the bill for the Scots to have a better country? On average spending per head an is extra 1500 pounds in Scotland, with non means testing pensions, free prescriptions, free Uni. fees. etc..etc Surely the Labour Party, run by Scots, are fleecing the English like some crazed Australian sheep shearer and giving the wool to the Scots for nice fluffly slippers?

I love our troops so much that I want them home safe on American soil, back with their families and loved ones. Do you love them enough to carpool a few times a week or turn down your air conditioning or take slightly shorter showers, stuff like that? If every single American minimizes their energy consumption by just a little, we can reduce our dependence on foreign oil, and go back to being a strong and self-reliant country again. For me, these small sacrifices are the most patriotic thing we can do for our brave soldiers overseas and for future generations. I love America! Do you?
