victim to join the Democratic party? I heard that was the one thing you needed to qualify.

I was thinking of joining but I just don't see where anyone owes me anything.
I believe in forgiveness so I can't hold anything over anyones head.
Geez, I really would like to join. Can you help me come up with some reasons to feel victimized?

On an application form, it asks whether you are disabled. My asthma is mild, however in hot indoor conditions I do need take my inhaler. I dont consider it a disablility and Im far from needing to be registered as disabled, but should I put it on the application form so that they know? Wouldnt it just scare an employer off, or should I tell them after I have been offerred the job??

I find it interesting that Clinton, the Best Conservative President since Eiesenhower ran as a democrat.

And Bush the Biggest TAX and Spend Liberal in history ran as a Redpublican.

Why is everything in Washington so upsidedown?

Would this be an answer to the shambolic 'over-crowding' of our prisons. Think about it, If we have a referendum on Capital punishment and introduce nightly hard labour for the severe criminals we may have a solution. There are criminals in prison today (such as those non payers of taxes) which let's face it don't need to spend the daytime in jail. So cell sharing with serious criminals who would be smashing rocks through the night, would allow these people to remain at work yet still be punished by having to turn up at prison every evening.

I might be wrong, but should we not explore every idea, rather than simply freeing them early

Suppose a national referendum asked the following question:

"Do you support a consititutional ammendmant that affirms that marriage in between one man and one woman"

That would be the question. The goal obviously being to effectively ban same sex unions.

How would you vote?

I applied for a seasonal position at a local automotive plastics factory this past Sunday and was called back that same day for an interview and drug test. I started work on Monday from 6:30 AM to 2:30 PM at $8.50 an hour. Myself and the rest of the new employees didn't get a chance to tour the factory before we were hired, so I wasn't aware of the conditions until my first day of work. My job was to inspect car door handles for damages, then place a sticker on the back of them and package them in boxes. Standing in one place for 8 hours took a toll on my back, feet, legs and neck. Also, the shop was very hot, my lunch break was short (20 minutes) and I found it very difficult to do the same mundane task over and over again. Today I quit. Was I justified in doing so? The pay was good but after two days of work I felt as though I needed a chiropractor.

They are in great condition it just turns out that the reason he doesn't use the company anymore is because he didn't pay his bill and the phone had to be shut off because when I call Customer Care from the phone it says the bill owed is $620. I called the guy and he said he was busy this weekend and would try to take care of it on Monday. What a bunch of crap I am going through! Sprint bascially said to me on the phone that he would have to pay his bill for the phones to be released. He wrote me an email stating that it was just as if I bought it at a yard sale and had no implied warranty or return policy. Yet I have his posting and emails saying the phone "worked" and was in great condition. Bascially implying the phones for "use" by me. What can I do? Do I have any legal options against this guy?

For crimes such as larceny and robbery, the phrase "permanently deprive" is used in the definitions I found. Does this mean that a crime can only be labeled as larceny or robbery if the perpetrator has no intent to return the stolen object(s)?
If someone were to "borrow" and object of yours for temporary use and without your consent, what would it be labeled as? Theft?

Yesterday I went to a beauty supply store and just as I was about to enter I looked to my right and saw a huge, window sized photo of myself from a hair magazine photo shoot I'd done a year ago. I gave the actual stylist permission to use the photo at her salon but not this store. Is it legal for this store to have my photo up without my permission? I decided not to enter the store after I saw my photo. Should they have to pay me?

There is a virtually global move towards creating new regional organisations and trade deals (such as NAFTA, Mercosur etc.) or redynamising existing regional bodies (EU, ASEAN, CARICOM, AU etc.). Why are states deciding to engage in this regional integration?

The Mexican government admits (so you know it is higher) that approximately 120,000 of it's troops have deserted it's military. Many of these deserters are highly trained special forces types (trained by the US Army!). They are called "Zetas" and many are assumed to be working for the drug cartels.

Mexico refuses to give the names of these deserters to the US government.

There best intelligence is that the majority of these "Zetas" live in the US and refuse to return to Mexico due to potential military prison sentences.

If amnesty is not granted to these and other illegals aliens, there is a strong possibility that the "Zetas" will resist being deported by force.

The US government can NOT prevent groups already in the US from engaging in criminal/military acts (see the poor record on dealing with the Central American MS 13 gang which also started with military deserters).

So what would you do, grant amnesty, maintain the peace or get ready for war within our borders?

Israel invaded Lebanon in the 1980s going after the PLO who were launching terror attacks against Israel & they were using Lebanon as a sanctuary so Israel sent an enormous conventional military force into Lebanon. They had some success but a lot of failure as well, it became a stalemate, if became a hugely unpopular war at home (& abroad) & after nearly 10 years they left w/o a victory. And what did Israel learn, you CAN'T win a war on terror w/ a conventional military & they learned that lesson again w/ Hezbollah last summer.

It does not take a military geniue to figure that out & even someone w/ a limited a mental capacity as Bush's can figure it out. So there can be only one reason that Bush is still in Iraq & that's that he won't except defeat while he's in office & by using US troops to do that is criminal.
