I know China has the largest armed forces in the world, but I have had trouble finding information on other countries and the amounts of soldiers that they maintain.

I was shopping for grocery and when I got out, a witness said they just saw my car got hit by someone and the person just drove away in high speed and fled the parking lot. The witness could only provide me with the description of the car, and a rough idea of the license plate number. They called and talked to the police before I arrived. Since it is at a private property, they told me that the police would not come. I walked back to the grocery and asked if they have some survillance camera and they said they have. But they said it would take time to sort out the footage to see if they caught the license on tape. I only have the lowest insurance coverage and the insurance company will not cover my damage.

so my question is does anyone know the process of this sort of problem?

1) Will the police be able to find the car easily?
2) If they find him, what will they do?
3) Is hit and run illegal to the driver himself (serious offence)?
4)Will the police contact me when they find him (the witness only told them my car's license plate since I wasn't there)?
5) Do I have to go to court for these kind of cases? Or will the insurance just give me an estimate?
6) IF the police can't find him, what can I do?

Thank you for your help, this is my first accident and I don't know what to expect.

Democrats are trying hard to be as nonchallant as the republican party. They just don't seem to get it. If you're going to be evil and pretend to be a saint, you need to recruite some of the very talented republicans who have no problem lying, cheating, stealing, and making a mockery of our constitutional form of government. Which is the greater evil? Democrats who lean toward socialism or Republicans who lean toward fascism and naziism?

I have heard so many liberals "say" we should all be tolerant of each other, but only when they are referring to others' tolerance levels, not their own...their own actions condemn them and most of them have spouted some of the worst hate messages I have ever heard! Then they get pissed at someone like Ann Coulter who throws it back at them...Why is this? Is it just that they are mostly hypocrites and don't care that they do not practice what they preach? Or do they think the rules only apply to others? Not only intolerance, but this happens alot in all they stand behind, for instance: Al Gore, whose home is the worst for expending large amounts of unnecessary energy, yet he professes to be for all that is "green"??? I have more, but too many examples to mention here!

He mumbles and stutters every time a republican disputes the "facts" he displayed in his movies. I can't believe liberals still buy his crap and don't feel betrayed. Especially since they always b*tch about bush being a liar.

Are we slowly having all rights taken from us and given to others that need it more?

I understand that Bush has created lots of problems, and that he really hasn't done a great job, but i'v been raised to respect your authority (which he is to us). But do you think that only goes so far? I mean critizing him or protesting out on his front lawn only makes his job more stressful. But with that said, he really has done a crap job. So how do you think the American people are handeling him, and how do you think we should act towards him?

Thanks in advanced. =)

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like conservatives have anger issues. They are angry about this, angry about that. The country is falling apart...the school system is in shambles...the border is caving in...religion is disappearing...blah, blah, blah. Everything is in poor shape. Everything ticks them off. Everything is happening to them specifically. It's all about them and how everyone is trying to take something from them. They are especially cranky about money issues and think the whole world is trying to leech or sponge off them. If I was I conservative, I would shoot myself in the head and put myself out of my misery.

Or would they be forced to back down and accept double recognition given the fact that they have such extensive trade ties with us?

when Moore announced he was going to make a documentary about the American Health care system, I was wondering how that could possibly be pulled off and be entertaining. In the meatnime, a conservative could had been making a documentary lauding the US Healthcare system and had 3 years to make it, yet none did so.
So conservatives should admit Moore is a genius right?

Are there people (not in the government) who acually think that taxes should be raise on the rich. I am poor but the government already takes over 1/3 of the money from the paycheck of the rich.
Can anyone honestly say with a straight face that someone should have to give the government over 1/3 of their paycheck in federal income tax.

When a person changes Medical Insurance, does the first and second insurance company have the right to give information about you to each other? Is it up to the state? How does the HEPA law fit in? I am beginning to believe that the primary concern of insurance companies is to get rich, even if it means their clients die or become homeless. Look at the victims in Missisippi and New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. I know we need insurance but it is a nessasary evil. P.S buy insurance when you are age 18. It is SO much cheaper. The price seems to double every time you become 5 years older.
