Okay so everyone is sketchy on this topic and I want to hear your opinions on abortion. I'm a guy, and have gone to Catholic school for the past 12 years, with the last 2 years practically destroying my faith with the deep tangled web of Christian morality. I find that that some of the stuff I was taught contradicted itself, or was completely out right intolerable. One story about how a Catholic church in Boston dumped orphans out of there orphanage after the city declared that gays have the right to adopt (if anyone has the full story I'd like to read it for myself). This was almost praised in my school by my religion teacher. But anyway, getting off topic I just wanted to prove that religion isn't really affecting my decision, I'm still against abortion. I knew a vegan who proclaimed he wouldn't kill even a sea urchin for food, claiming it had a central nervous system, but had no qualms about a partial birth abortion. I'm sick of people undermining human life.

I was just wondering if there were private memorials like this one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nellvixen/677349793/ where you live. I drove past this and was so touched that these people cared so much they are using their private land as a memorial and updating as more soldiers pass away each day. What do you guys think?

It seems our govt. here in the US is incompetent. From our income taxes going to the federal reserve to pay off interest for the debt the govt. spent all the way to illegal immigration. It seems like politics today in the US is not about what the people want but what the politicans want according to their views or what works out best for them. Our politicians like Clinton and Kerry who claim to be part of the "party for the people" are both very wealthy and went to elite schools. How can people who grew up rich know what it is like to be poor. The republicans come straight out and tell us which team they are playing for like when bush told a group of oil company CEO's they were his base at a fundraiser. Our democracy isn't about who works for the people and has the best idea for society but who has the most money and who is the best liar. I was once a republican but now i just sit back and wonder how long until things really start to get bad. What do you guys think.

I have never seen such white teeth! What's up? They all look like they have false teeth. What are they doing bleeching or using porcelain veneers? Is this normal in America now? What do you think of the candidates teeth? Did you notice that they are so white?

when it comes to being poor? The blame should be put on all of the legislature form many years back to current day. The reason why the poor are getting poorer is that we are a society of debt and the debt comes with a huge pricetag. People without much money use their Credit cards get behind on payments and the system is set up so that when they are over limit and missing payments things get even worse. I mention Credit cards but its the same for sub prime lenders for homes people are getting finacially killed because of outrageous interest rates. You want to do better financially? Elect some people with some balls to take on these creditors preditory practices. OR Stay the heck away from debt

It seems to me that's the only way to stop all this debate about immigration. Seriously, I'm sure we've got enough tanks, and troops,tanks, jets and crap like that left over from Iraq and Afganistan to run through Mexico like crap through a goose. I don't see the problem, they all seem to want to be Americans pretty bad anyway. May as well make it official

Everything the Republicans have done for 6 years has been on disaster after another except for the HUGE Oil Corp Profits they have orchestrated so well,

America knows that all future Republican presidencies will be even HIGHER levels of Bushco.

Can we afford that?

As an Iraqi, i can categorically state that pakistani, bangladeshi and indian muslims or their offspring living in the UK have NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with Iraq! They are not connected to Iraqis, Ethnically, Linguistically, Culturally, Historically, socially or in terms of physical appearance.

The reason these British muslims of south asian origin (as well as Somalis, Eritreans, Sudanese etc) involve themselves in Iraq are for the following reasons:

1. As a result of frustration at having utterly failed as immigrant communities in the UK. Consider, some of the highest rates of unemployment, percentage of prison population etc, lowest standards of education and integration etc...in contrast to the success of Poles, Jews, Middle Eastern Christians,Greeks..

2. An inherent intolerance in their culture and religion towards, Criticism and other religions, 1400 years of persecution against non muslims in the islamic world, the Rushdie Affair and the Danish Carton issue prove this!

Dept of Homeland Security. Talk about a worthless boondoggle.
Talk about building the barn after the horse trampled your kids.

And a couple trillion in war costs for their no-bid corporate sponsors, to go and steal oil for their oil-cartel partners.

(Not to mention crumpling up the Constitution into a spitball)

Yikes!!

I'm trying to fill in a NOtice of Claim. Here's the story:
Company A Constructions hired E Electrics to do an electrical installation for Company B Foods. The work has been done but the installation fees have not been paid to E Electrics. Company A Constructions says that Company B Foods has not paid them so Company A cannot pay E Electrics. Company A Constructions is the General Contractor. Should Company B Foods be named as the sub-contractor of this claim???

"Fast Food Lawsuits" appear to be the next big thing in suing-for-profit. But where do people actually find lawyers sleazy enough to sue restaurants for common-sense things?

I think I've got a great purely-for-money class-action involving about a dozen major fast food chains and their menus/advertising, but have no idea how to get in contact with the kind of big-time legal parasite needed to actually make a case out of it. (I don't even know where to start looking... local guys are too small to go after fast-food giants. Do I just randomly email the big New York guys till one bites?)

Big class actions are all the same- The lawyers who file these suits make a damned fortune. Those "named" people representing the class pocket a decent chunk of change. The other hundred thousand suckers get a coupon for 25-cents off a large fry.

I want in on the action.

This is an offshoot of a question I just asked a little while ago..

Would like to know what the following political descriptions mean...

Populist
Centrist
Neo-Con
Libertarian
Marxist

If you know just one or all, a brief (or however long you want) description and an example of a person who would fit the description would be great.

Trying to become more educated. Thanks so much!

I've ignored her forever. She has had her teenage kids poison my plants and pets, gouge the word "whore" into the hood of my Cadillac, went around the neighborhood and told all the wives that I was sleeping with their husbands, taken me to court 2 times trying to get a restraining order by making up a bunch of lies (they were denied), terrorized my young daughter, etc. She had her son cut down one of my cedar trees that was on the easement and tried to get me arrested by making a false police report. Her teenage son drove a dirt bike at me and almost hit me. I pushed him away from me and made him fall off. He got up, spit in my face, called me a ***** then kicked a dent in the side of my Bronco. I live on a one lane, dead end road and these people have to drive past my house every time they go to and from their home. I can't afford to sell my property and move. What should I do?
This family lies to the deputies when I've had to call them. I feel so helpless and unbelieved.
