Politics & Government - 26 June 2007

I got pulled over for not wearing my seat belt and got a $40.00 ticket. I think this law really sucks. What crime are we breaking? If I don't want to wear a seat belt, I should not be fined for it. The risks I choose to make should be up to me. Why don't they start giving out tickets to everyone who eats at McDonalds or White Catles. You're endangering your life there also. This is just a money making scheme for the local governments and you know what...I'm just not going to pay it. I've had it with all these stupid laws. Let them spend their time chasing after real criminals.

With Senator Lugar, the leading Republican and Voinovich, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said in a floor speech that Bush's strategy was not working and have echoed the words that Democrats had been saying for months is the damage already done to the Republican party? Senator Lugar went on to say that the War in Iraq has negatively impacted our National Security and has actually increased the threat to our country. Can the Republican Party Hope to recover from this by November? And even if they could wouldn't that mean them taking the Democratic Party's line and stance on Iraq? So why vote Republican if they are just now saying what Democrats have been saying all along?
p.s. I also saw an interview with Ann Coulture where even she said "as soon as we get this bafoon out of office" referring to George Bush!

Why are George W. Bush (a neo-con) and Tony Blair (a Labour Party leader and ally of such people as Peter Mandelson) have such a positive relationship? It seems Blair is so dedicated to Bush he almost reembles a lap dog.

Ok, Lets say for one moment you may be right, they hit back at the US for our foreign policy affecting them, so how do you explain this?

How is American foreign policy responsible for?
The bus and subway bombings in Great Briton,
The train bombings in Spain,
The Muslim youth, burning Paris and a few other places halfway to the ground.
The bombing of the theater in Russia, The bombing of the school in Russia,
The car bombing of the resort at Carmel Sheik in Egypt
The monstrous bombing of the wedding a year or so ago in Jordan
The bombing of the disco in Germany
The bombing of Hindus from Pakistani,
The murders of Christians in Darfor,

Or the other 8702 radical Islam-fascist attacks around the world sense 9/11. How is the American foreign policy to be help responsible for these crimes, See how stupid you claim of guilt is? These butchers do not need a reason, their Caliphate demands the expansion of their ideals, and you had better wake up.

After 6 years together, and no abusive history, my spouse and I both lost our jobs and allowed our stress to make us fight more, and at times get physical. My spouse was arrested and convicted of spousal abuse this past December, and since his release, we have been trying to rebuild our family, careers and relationship. Yet now that those labels have been placed (unwantingly)on us, the law is actually now making things worse for us and holding us back from moving forward. I am not a victim, but they say I am and for that I am in "denial" and not a credible witness, basically a liar, WHICH IS COMPLETE BULL****!. And my spouse is a hideous wife beater who belongs in jail with the murderers, rapists and child molesters, which is also JUST PLAIN WRONG! He's facing another arrest now because of false statements given by neighbors who hated us, and I, the person they are saying he hit, has no say to be heard! They don't believe me or my daughter! The prejudged stereotype has to end! HELP!

Here's a hypothetical question, not leading one way or the other.

Would you agree to the government raising taxes if the taxes were absolutely guaranteed to go to soldier's health care and death benefites, as well as fixing up military hospitals like Walter Reed?

He has a clean file with his company and they suspended him for a couple of days pending an investigation. They said someone printed porno graphic images but when he asked to see it, they did not have it. He feels because when he got passed up for promotion, he starting asking questions and found out that his company did not follow policy with the hiring process. Could he have a case?

I found out that a crime was commited 3 months ago. A neighbors kids broke into my apartment and trashed the place and took items. I was under the impression that the Landlord had entered and cleaned the apartment out when he thought I was done moving out. A neighbor has recently told me that her 2 kids had entered the apartment before landlord had and that they had taken stuff and trashed the place. Can i still file charges against the kids and their Parents?

I just lost my school ID and I need to be at an orientation for college in about 2 weeks and they need a photo ID. I don't have a driver license or passport. My green card is 7 years ago. Can I use my green card as a photo ID? If not, what can I use as a photo ID? I only have 2 weeks so making a passport is too late
