I do and I think it will be the best thing for the Republicans. Hopefully the whiney liberals will finally get some common sense when they see how aweful she is.

I loaned my father-in-law a few hundred dollars, and now he refuses to pay me back. (Please don't tell me I should've known better, I knew that from the beginning but he's family and I felt obligated)

He is on welfare and disabilty, but he also gets section 8, so he has a decent income for someone in his situation. On top of that, his parents help him out.

Would I have a case if I took him to small claims court?
We live in California.

First let me say that I'm not looking for political debate on gay marriage or even asking if homosexuality is right, wrong or other. I'm not asking a baited question and I am not looking for an affirmation of my beliefs.

I hold a degree in psychology and the idea of Sexual Reorientation Therapy came up in a professional conversation. It's basically a type of Cognitive Therapy that aims at discovering what part of the sexual contact arouses the client (is it the "forbidden fruit" aspect, is it misfiring in the brain, is it chemical, etc.) and helping them to reallign their thoughts.

My question is do you think that homosexuality is something that can be changed?

I'm honestly only looking for healthy and civil debate. I'd love to hear from the Gay Community on this one.

Thank you in advance for your contribution!

It seems to have escaped many English people's knowledge that the ban is fully implemented with great success in every other country within the UK.

I am a smoker and last March I was banging on about my right to smoke and how the approaching ban was an infringment of my human rights and all the rest of it.

16 months later I can quite honestly say the ban has been a good thing.

When I do go the pub I smoke less, I don't come home absolutly stinking, I can breath easy. Imagine what it is like for a non smoker to sit amongst all that smoke if thats how it made me, a smoker feel!

There has been no direct link to pubs shutting down and the ban coming in. Yes people will quote you figures of all the pubs that have closed in the pasy yeay but it actuall isn't any more than a pre ban year sees.

The only places that have suffered are Bingo halls as people are obviously to addicted to bingo and f@gs to give one up!

So embrace the change, you might just like it!

"If I'm going to say anything about John Edwards in the future, I'll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot," Coulter said Monday, picking up on remarks made by HBO's Bill Maher. Maher suggested in March that "people wouldn't be dying needlessly" if Vice President Dick Cheney had been killed in an insurgent attack in Afghanistan."

Opinion polls show that Americans overwhelmingly oppose his policy in Iraq. Is there a point where the president has to bow to the wishes of the people and his own party, and not be concerned about his legacy?

Why

On his show, Maher said the follwing:

"But I have zero doubt that if Dick Cheney was not in power, people wouldn’t be dying needlessly tomorrow.

{...}

I’m just saying if he did die, other people, more people would live. That’s a fact."

http://newsbusters.org/node/11169

He did not wish death upon Cheney, he simply said that fewer people would die if Cheney were dead.

Just for the record, Maher is a combination of Libertarian and liberal.

Coulter's first comment about Edwards:

“I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, but it turns out you have to go into rehab if you use the word ‘*****t,’ so I — so kind of an impasse, can’t really talk about Edwards.”

http://thinkprogress.org/2007/03/02/coulter-edwards/

Followed by:

"If I'm gonna say anything about John Edwards in the future, I'll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot."

A good friend of mine rents a house. Her mailbox gets bashed in by some neighborhood kids and is irreparable. She calls her landlord and he tells her that it's her responsibility to replace it. This woman is disabled & living on a fixed income. IS she responsible for the replacement, or is her landlord just being an ***?

I been avoiding getting served by a credit card company that hooked up with a collection agency that has a attorney. They came to my house and got no answer. They finally taped the documents on my door and sent a certified letter. I didn't sign, a relative of mine did. So I wasn't actually served. I figure now I minus well go to court and set up installments/arrangements to pay a month so I won't have to appear in court. I want to ask since they didn't serve me directly would that be faulty on their part for not doing their job because who's to say I got it. It's their job to get it to me not give it to anyone in their crooked way to get money? I been harrassed, bullied, didn't they get the message that I wasn't coming to the door? They want all their money so I guess setting up arrangements will be better but I wonder is there a way to get out of this and if I don't set up arrangements what will happen? I owe under 2,000, not a lot but can't pay in full. Advice appreciated. I'm 23.
