I am only asking because I saw someone answer a previous question of mine in exactly that way.

also, are there any other servants in the world that can vote on a $4,400.00 a year raise for themselves while being completely unable to pass any other meaningful legislation? It just seems odd to me that a person or persons can give themselves a raise for not doing their job. This applies to republicans and democrats as they are all guilty.

How come people who make such little income that not only do they not pay ANY federal taxes but get more money back through the Earned Income Tax credit are allowed to vote for social welfare programs that give them money. It's ridiculous that they can just vote to make everyone else who works hard give them money for doing nothing. This is the clearest example of of tyranny by the masses I have ever seen.

I was staying at a friends house, she was present at the house, with her children. The oldest (14) had friends over, I took sleep medication. When I awoke, my clothes were partiallly off, and there were 3 teenage boys on me. They were pouring prescription cough medicine down m y throat. They told me they had sex with me and with a baseball bat. I was very sore and humiliated, but I didnt want to tell my friend this about her son. 2 months later, the son tells his father that I had consentual sex with him and his friends on a regular basis, which is not true...any suggestions?

Okay, I really want to know what people think on this issue.

Between Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, and Budhists (if you want to add a religion feel free to)

which has contributed the most to civilization, and then which has hurt society the most.

When anything that people might want is outlawed it creates a black market in that product or service.
Those people who supply that product or service become rich enough to be able to corrupt Law enforcement and government.
Those people who supply that product or service support the continued prohibition of those products or services so they can continue to make money from the uncontrolled sales. To that end they become the biggest supporters of Right Wing Law and order politicians who then can't prosecute them for fear of exposure of where their campaign funds came from.
The medical and pharmaceutical industries enter into this by developing and dispensing more kinds of abusable drugs which are eventually outlawed adding to black market, medical and pharmaceutical profits
How do we get off this vicious cycle?

Remember George Bush led the UN to fight the first Iraq War but messed up the US economy. Bill Clinton came in, and improved the domestic performance; cut down crime rate and even let the Americans enjoyed an economy bloom in the late 90s. Now, George W. Bush fights the second Iraq War when almost everyone except the British said it is not the right time to do so in 2003, and again mess up the US economy; a lot worst than what his father did. So, do you think Hillary Clinton can again fix the Bush problem? She kind of has 8 years experience in the White House.

They have a serious homegrown terrorist problem arising from the millions of muslims they welcomed. The U.S. is right around the corner, with 25% of young American muslims saying homicide bombing is A-OK. Would you say no good deed goes unpunished?

I have a clean license, never gotten a ticket in my life (but I do speed all the time).

If I get pulled over and he runs my license, will my clean record have any impact on whether I get a speeding ticket (instead of a warning)?

Is there anything I can say or do to avoid getting a ticket, after I get pulled over?

And are these two (support/like) mutually exclusive?

Only serious answers, please.

If you did not vote for him and hate his guts, please do not answer here.

At present, I do not like or support him, but I am curious as to why I should. Even with the discord over the war, etc, he garnered enough votes to be elected. I want to know what, exactly, do you Americans that voted for him see in him. Are they admirable qualities; if so, what are they? Do you feel he has great leadership qualities? Did religion or moral issues sway your vote? If you voted for him, but are now unhappy with his direction, why?

I will say, I did not vote for him, either time. I want to know why you did.

Since August 2003, more than 8 million jobs have been created, with more than 1.9 million jobs created over the twelve months ending in May. Our economy has now added jobs for 45 straight months, and the unemployment rate remains VERY VERY low at 4.5 percent.

When they are born with a handicap or disability? I understand paying for their health care and I am completely for that, but why do they get to make an income off of this before they are an adult? A normal healthy child does not make money why do these children? I cannot think of one reason why a child under the age of 18 should receive SS or disability.

It`s happened again. A shopkeeper in Truro, Cornwall, was being robbed by three crooks who stole some goods and ran off.
He chased after them and caught the biggest of them who started to fight him.
He fought back, and won, and retrieved his goods but was arrested by the police and charged with assault.
He pleaded self defence etc., but was given the option, gaol or an £80 fine, he had to choose the fine so he could go on trading. The thief got a caution.
I ask you, is this fair? What is the world coming to when crooks can rob you and get away with it while you are charged with assault when you defend yourself and your property?

Unfortunately, she paid him in full when he was only half done. The day after that he never showed back up. She's called him many times and he keeps making up lame excuses. Now his phone is disconnected. We have no address (he was kicked out of his apartment). What do we do now?

• Its holy writ (Roe v. Wade)
• Its martyrs (from Soviet spy Alger Hiss to cop-killer Mumia Abu Jamal)
• Its clergy (public school teachers)
• Its churches (government schools, where prayer is prohibited but condoms are free)
• Its doctrine of infallibility (as manifest in the "absolute moral authority" of such spokesmen as Cindy Sheehan and Max Cleland)
• And its cosmology (in which mankind is an inconsequential accident)
