so i got a speeding ticket, the officer who gave me the ticket did not get a speeding ticket, now we all know that all men are created equal and nobody is above the law.

but by him not receiving a ticket that violates the constitution where it states equal protection of the laws due to this fact wouldn't this mean that the ticket i recieved is void? (i was doing 89 in a 70 zone so he had to be speeding to catch up to me)

Does anyone really doubt these terrorist groups would use WMD if they got their hands on it? Instead of three of four planes into buildings, they would love to have a nuke to set off in New York or LA.

Why is it so hard for some people to realize the gravity of this threat? Why are some people inclined to give people like Saddam and Iran the benefit of the doubt? Don't they care about the security of their children?

Do we pay higher taxes?
Are employers exempt from paying healthcare (because healthcare is now a government responsibility)
Does that mean government will get bigger?

What do you think?

Whilst I believe the majority of muslims in Britain are not hard core terrorists, I am the only person puzzled by the lack of condemnation from high ranking influential clerics and muslim support groups. I am sure if this kind of thing was being perpertrated in another country by British terrorists, the British people would be the first to stand up and march in protest of these vicious attacks. Maybe some kind of action of this type would help moderate muslims intergrate a little better in our society....or maybe they secretly back these hardliners!!!

Many US and European leaders want to institute a "new world order." Hegemony is defined on Wikipedia as "Hegemony (pronounced [ˈhɘ.dʒɘ.mɘ.ni]) (Greek: ἡγεμονία hēgemonía) is the dominance of one group over other groups, with the implicit threat of force, to the extent that, for instance, the dominant party can dictate the terms of trade to its advantage; more broadly, cultural perspectives become skewed to favor the dominant group. The cultural control that hegemony asserts affects commonplace patterns of thought: hegemony controls the way new ideas are rejected or become naturalized in a process that subtly alters notions of common sense in a given society. Hegemony results in the empowerment of certain cultural beliefs, values, and practices to the submersion and partial exclusion of others. Hegemony influences the perspective of mainstream history, as history is written by the victors for a congruent readership."
Sounds famliar, doesn't it? Since the end of the Cold War, analysts have used the term "hegemony" to describe the United States' role as the sole superpower (the hyperpower) in the modern world. However, some scholars of international relations (such as John Mearsheimer) argue that the United States does not have true hegemony, since it lacks the resources to impose dominance over the entire globe. Also, China, India, and the European Union are considered by some to be emerging superpowers capable of competing with the U.S in their own regions, and, in the case of the EU, worldwide.

This is something that's puzzled me about the election. We have a ton of candidates with Hilary, Obama, and Giuliani getting the most media attention. Believe it or not, there are people out there that don't agree with any of them and instead agree with someone like Mike Gravel or Ron Paul. However, some supporters of these two say "Yeah, I'd like to vote for them but they'll never win".

Don't you realize that they'll never win because people like you say they'll never win, or believe that your vote doesn't count in the long run? Isn't staying true to yourself and voting honestly a good thing?

They won't win because of people like you who cause them not to.

example: I'm realistic and know that Ron Paul very likely won't win. He doesn't have enough money or celebrity endorsements, and as Bill Maher said, "If this country were smart, wouldn't you be voted into office?" But I'm not going to vote for someone I don't like because of it.

I had a con squawk at me about wait till someone I know is affected. The fact they grossly miss that if it wasn't for BUSH's bungled war most Americans wouldn't be affected. The sooner are troops are home, the less casualties we will have.
Fact.

Basically i got told that if a company provides clothes to wear at work or you have set clothes to wear at work then you are not allowed to smoke in them-basically you have to change out of them to have a *** during work times. this sounds a little extreme and was wondering if it were true.

Some idiot somewhere started this whole "you can't fight a war with bombs on an ideology" thing . I suppose that some thought 'Hey , that's clever , and probably right' . But it's DEAD-wrong .
What some people don't seem to grasp is that this is a religious war , at least in the minds of the Terrorists . And there is NO negotiating . They've clearly stated their objectives and they're clearly carrying out the means to affect those objectives . They don't call for negotiations , they list absolute demands . Convert to Islam or Die . Sounds pretty damn clear to me !!

Changing an ideology may be possible. . . . over generations , but in the mean time we must use the only thing that has any effect on these Evil people. . . . . .

And that 'one thing' is bombs , not Crayons . and if any of you want dialogue , then just go to a prison that is holding imprisoned terrorists . You can have all the dialogue you want .

Do You Think Terrorism Can be Stopped , Or Will It End In Disaster ?

Do our leaders expect the reaction from the left-wingers to be different from when we entered Iraq? Were the people of Iraq less deserving of our support (removing their evil dictator) than the people of Darfur are?

Anyone seeing this would cringe however I haven'y done anything wrong. My Solicitor says just keep quiet about it but the CRB has just bought the whole thing back to life ? Help

I hear many people quite rightly saying that the Muslim population should repsect our laws, and that we don't go to their countries and change their laws.

But isn't that exactly what we have done in Iraq, Afganistan and most importantly Palestine? Nobody there wanted us, and we have made a right mess of it. Most of the problems in Iraq are between themselves, but this is becuase we demolished the infrastructure and imposed our rules which clearly do not work.

I'm not saying they're right, but aren't we a bit hypocritcal?

Do we really want anybody who is or has been into drugs making critical decisions for us. Do we really want someone who admits to his drug abuse such as Obama did in his book to have his finger on the nuclear button. How do we know that he did quit doping? We have to take his word are you willing to gamble I mean look what happened to us when we elected George Bush do you want more of the stammering and stuttering and blank lost looks I think not so lets say no to any candidate who has or is using drugs dont you think this would be in the best interest of our country?
