I mean, they're making Mexico uninhabitable for their own people, who argue that they couldn't stay in Mexico. Isn't this a tad unusual? What is the Mexican government doing, instead of providing for their citizens' needs?

Double standards depend on demanding from United States and Europe a sort of impossible perfection. When such utopianism is not--and never can be--met, cheap accusations of racism, colonialism, and imperialism follow. Such posturing is intended to con the West into feeling guilty, and, with such self-loathing, granting political concessions, relaxing immigration, or handing over more foreign aid. Left unsaid is that such critics of the West will always ignore their own hypocrisy, and, when convenient, destroy civilized norms while expecting someone else to restore them when needed.

What, then, to do? Stop feeling guilty, apologizing, and trying to rationalize barbarity. Instead insist on the same uniform standards of humane behavior from our critics that they now demand from us.

Finally, remember that there is a reason why millions flood into Europe from the Middle East and to America from Mexico--and not vice versa. There is a reason why Democrats and Republicans don't shoot each other in the streets of Washington, or why blue-state America does not mine red-state highways. And there is a reason why a Shiite mosque in Detroit is safer in the land of the Great Satan than it would be in Muslim Saudi Arabia. It's called civilization--a precious and fragile commodity that is missed even by its destroyers the minute they've done away with it.

I mean, Fidel Castro is the only national leader I know who is going to lead a country for over 50 years. All you need is good health and you should serve over 50 years as President or Prime Minister.

Even before term limits was instated, none of our presidents served over 50 years.

Why?

it was a oral agreement, i have proof that i bought the car, but the car title is in ''friends '' name, in case of a accident i would not be liable. I found the new address of this person and went there but this person refuses to give back the car, so i am a victim of my own kindness and fraud. what recourse do I have, legaly, would I be able to press charges through the Federal legal system, or do I just live with it, for being a kind but a ''dum dum''.

when a potential company is asking about you at a place that let you go, won't that pretty much preclude you from ever getting a job again?

If you get fired?

I ask because Carter is stating The United States, Israel and the European Union must end their policy of favoring Fatah over Hamas or they will doom the Palestinian people to deepening conflict between the rival movements .

Carter, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate who was addressing a conference of Irish human rights officials, said the Bush administration's refusal to accept the 2006 election victory of Hamas was "criminal."

I'm not saying he would have a right to force the woman to get an abortion, only that he would have no legal responsibility, financialy or otherwise.

It is very simple. If a woman gets pregnant she can choose to have the baby or not. If she chooses not, the man can ask her to carry the child and he will keep it. She can say no, its here body. If she chooses to keep the child she can ask the father if he will be there. He can say no, this would be a fathers legal abortion. As far as the man using birth control, the woman can choose to use birth control also or choose not to have sex.
Again they both have a choice.

THIS ANSWER DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH RAPE.
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ARGUMENT!!!!!


I disagree with abortion and would rather adopt a child a woman doesn't want.
STILL HER CHOICE THOUGH!!!!

My lawyer dumped my case after nearly three years. We were at the final Motion for Summary Judgment when he decided not to proceed. I had to hire a lawyer to finish ONE MOTION! It cost me $7,500, plus 33 1/3% of the Settlement, if I survived the Motion. I survived the Motion & settled for not nearly what my case was worth. Did the first Lawyer breach our retainer?

A company provides a free online service that allows users to post text within a set format, and removes any content they find that violates several rules including content that is considered derogatory to specific groups or individuals. They then state that a post can be considered derogatory when refering to a group defined by race but exactly the same post is not derogatory when refering to group defined by disability. The company also perminantly banned a user from a portion of the site for posting a statement deemed derogatory, while maintaining that an identical statement about a disability group is not considered derogatory, and continues to uphold the ban on the grounds that the user took an acceptable statement and intentionally altered it until it became derogatory. Is this a violation of the ADA?

Note: if you're planning to respond that the ADA only applies to employment, you're wrong, and should consider actually reading the Act before answering.

Iowans for Tax Relief and Iowa Christian Alliance will host a presidential candidates forum on Saturday, June 30th in Des Moines. Republican presidential candidates Mitt Romney, Sam Brownback, Jim Gilmore, Mike Huckabee, Tommy Thompson, and Tom Tancredo will participate.

Ron Paul, however, will not participate. Why? Because he wasn’t invited.

Is this an example of censorship? And how can we have democracy when all candidates aren't given the same voice?
