The kind that says that it's unpatriotic and treasonous to suggest that the Iraq war was a bad idea.
The kind that is called giving "aid and comfort" to the enemy when one stands up for human rights.
The kind that forces anyone who wants to be president to give the appearance that they love Jesus.

So illegal immigration is supposedly a great economic good because it keeps prices down, but it's immoral to pay EI's the low wages which keep prices low, because it depresses wages more broadly, and it's unethical to pay a person below a living wage.

So, by that reasoning, are large corporations simultaneously good and bad, and does that mean small businesses should compete with large ones which supposedly are allready evil for trying to exist in small business areas, while also paying any illegal immigrants on their payroll living wages?

How is this supposed to work again?

What about the National Front? I'm Black, but I feel sorry for them. They're not getting a look in even by the racists on yahoo answers. They too want to make Britain a 100% White country. And what about UKIP and Veritas? They're against Multi-culturalism. They're just as bad.

Kind of ironic and highly hypocritical when you have someone who week after week for years talk about having to stay strong to bring the "evil doers" to justice. And stubornly pushing the need to inject this very legal system to most of the planet...that is, until his friends and cronies land under it. Then it is like f*** you all in the a**, I will do as I always do, what I MAKE justice. And in the mean time innocent men sit in Gitmo and secret offshore gulags subject to torture and shabby treatment by being at the wrong place wrong time, or having trumped up charges. Way to go G.W. you are a shining example of hypocrisy. "Scot free" will now be "Scoot free"

Stop with all the Mexican jokes, and the hatred towards Mexico. Learn the facts first. Complain about all undocumend aliens not just Meixcan ones. It just shows how racist the ppl are.

Why is it so damn difficult to get a visa for a lady of my criteria? its not like all single women want to stay on n become a prostitute in Dubai. I am a well settled individual working in India and want to visit Dubai to understand the retail environment in the Malls there, as I work in a senior position for Malls in my country.

I have tried through a business associate to sponsor a visit visa for me and twice it got rejected under his trade license. Hotel also refused to sponsor my visa where as my colleague who was to join me in this trip has got a visa because she is married. I don't understand this prejudice and genuine cases like me are banned into the country.

can someone out there help me with a remedy to get a visa for my self.Who do I approach and how to go about it.?

actually when something happens opposite to our belief, we start firing on our system but we don't come forward to improve/follow the rules.
We have to follow all these rules like we follow in the office/homw.
Can't we ?
Afterall these are made for our welfare.

I have two speeding violations that I never took care of. The first one I received in the state next to me when I was younger. It has been a long time and I never paid it because it slipped my mind. I have a speeding violation from my area and haven't paid it yet due to a terrible financial problem that I thought (wrongly thought) was more important.

Anyways, they have both turned into warrants sadly. I am afriad of what can happen and am not sure of what do to. I want to take care of these and can hopefully afford to do so. First, my question is can I "pay" these off. Second, if so can I call to find out how much and they won't trace my call to come and arrest me? These are considered misdemeanors or?

If they tell me that I can pay these off they won't try to trick me or anything will they? Like saying I can pay them off only to arrest me when I show up to do so? Any help or advice on how to take care of these two warrants would be greatly appreciated.

Ok heres the deal; I applied for Navy OCS and was rejected for reasons unknown. I was rejected as a SWO and Supply Officer. Everyone was really suprised I did not get picked up, the only reason anyone could really think of as to why I was rejected was because of what kind of degree I had.

Just to give you an idea of what kind of record I have. I graduated Magna *** Laude with a 3.6, was president of law society, was an attorney in mock trial, was a senator for student congress, and continue to be a practicing black belt in Taekwondo. I also had great references from my college advisors, professionals, etc. The Navy is now completely out of the question, which leaves me with the Army, Marines, or Airforce. Please help!!

President Teddy Roosevelt's 1919 quote:

"We should insist that if the immigrant who comes here does, in good faith, become an American and assimilates himself to us. He shall be treated on an exact equality with every one else for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed or birth-place or origin.

But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American and nothing but an American. If he tries to keep segregated with men of his own origin and separated from the rest of America, then he isn't doing his part as an American.

There can be no divided allegiance here. . . We have room for but one language here and that is the English language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, of American nationality and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding-house; and we have room for but one soul loyalty and that is loyalty to the American people."

Amen and Amen !!
