Politics & Government - 27 June 2007

I was charged with furnishing a minor ( I work at a liquor store, didnt check an id, turns out to be an unage confidential police informant) I went to court, paid my fine, paid my attorney, and have it on my record. Two and a half months later my boss (the owner) tells me that I might have to pay the 1500+ dollar fine that the store gets as the liquor permit holder. Can he legally make me pay this fine?

Or any references to research this.

Many Puerto Ricans that grow up in Puerto Rico usually stay there and don't come to U.S. Myself personally is only to come to the states every so often and stay for a short period of time. Why is Puerto Rico so lovely for us Puerto Ricans?

I feel like there is no place to go since I am damn sure not going to vote for a democrat. Little did I know that i was voting for a stealth democrat when I voted for GW. I feel like the republicans are so far out of touch with the people and their arrogance so great that this country is in real trouble what do you think?

In order to obtain a U.S Passport? If so, I would love to hear your story.

Don't get me wrong......I can't solve your problem, but we are having major nightmarish issues of our own, trying to get hold of a passport for our infant grandson, and I would like to know who else is having issues, as well. I know we can't be the only ones. So far, it's been a mass of bureaucratic NONSENSE!

This bill or no bill. This bill or no bill. This bill or no bill. How can you be opposed to a bill that as Ted Kennedy said "Offers the best border protection EVER" I know that many do not trust the government that they will enforce the law, but since 9/11 there have been 92 amendments, 59 committe hearings and 3 bills and it seems that we know what everyone here is against but they never say what they are for. If you want border enforcement THEN SUPPORT THIS BILL. Lets say hypothetically it was border enforcement only and no path to legalization, how would you know that they would do it then? You wouldnt. And if they dont do anything about the illegal immigrant there will be 10 million more shortly. Although this bill does not eliminate illegal immigration, it reduces it greatly.
And you precious tax money that you are all so upset about? All the fines and fees that the immigrants will pay will bring in 55 billion dollars and cost america 30 billion.

Today, two guys in a van pulled up to me, and told me that their company was overstocked on speakers, and they needed to unload whatever they had quickly, for whatever money they could get.
I ended up buying a pair of speakers for $150 (Kirsch K602)
When I got home, I discovered that
A) The two men are scam artists that sell speakers to other people under the story they gave me
B) The speakers they sold me are worth $2000 online
C) After trying them out, I discovered that the speakers work fine and sound fantastic.

What is the ethical thing to do? They gave me their phone number, which works (I tried it). They also wrote the number on a receipt with a credit card number and their license plate number on it.
Should I keep the speakers? Should I sell them for the full price?
Other people online have done research on this, and they say that everything these guys are doing is legal (there is no theft or illicit activity involved)

I dont really think there is a moral way to do it, but I have a theory saying that if USA restarts the draft for war all the illegal immigrants will leave because they dont want to fight for USA its not their country, but I would like to know others people solutions no matter how unorthidox may be.

My dad's neighbor suggested that sending illegal aliens to war would be a great idea. BY drafting them and sending them out would be a genuine thing to do? If they love living in a America, would they also love serving our country? I would like to hear everyones thoughts/opinions about this matter.

Thanks.

No China, Vietnam,Laos and North Korea do not count because the first 2 are one party dictatorships with capitalist reforms, N.K follows Juche ideology, not sure about Laos but I think it's modeled closely after Vietnam.

Cuba isn't really either but it's a closer than the above.

Please comment if you know what it really is.

This question is bipartisan because I believe that the last 2 admin. have not been held fully accountable at least for the lies. I lost count of all of the lies that Americans have been told and I bet theres more to come out long after this admin. is gone. Does anyone else agree that in the future some one should pass some kind of accountability laws. Or do most people still trust this administration. Lying is wrong whether your a Dem. or a Rep. Does any one really trust our leaders because I feel like we have all been bamboozled. I am not even talking about 9/11 or the war. Why do we accept liars as our leaders. Should not our leaders be held to higher moral standards. Once you lie to me I can't believe anything you say. So what candidate will attempt to chop down this cherry tree? Please don't say Hillary. If she told me that 2+2=4. I would check my calculator. Ha Ha Dont stop beleivin. Yeah right. I would trust a guy like Tony Soprano over Hillary.

Mine begins with ending entitlements to all ILLEGALS-legal non citizens get limited benefits. Secure borders and more border patrol (National Guardsmen in huge numbers). Once these tasks are complete we can deport the 27% of our prison population (these are the illegal criminals). That should free up a lot of space. As more undocumented aliens are arrested-they are deported immediately--no costly trial-they are NOT citizens-they're not entitled to the benefits of OUR constitution-they need to G-O!. Those hard workers who've established roots and are self supporting need to pay their fines (more than the proposed $5K) and EARN the right to be called Americans over 15 years (much like the current proposal). What would you add?
