Obstructing justice means hindering the investigation or prosecution of a crime. But there was no crime.

He did not make weight by 0.1%. Now they are saying he has to wait 2 months to come back and be down to 26% instead of the original 29.9%. This doesn't seem right to me, is it? Is there anything we can do to get him in sooner?

I get it, "college is a privilege". Well right now I am not feeling so privileged. We are shelling out 30 to 40 grand to these institutions just so we hopefully might get a decent job in the future. Then we have misc. fees and charges, over priced text books, sub par food, and mediocre housing added on to it all. Unless you are extremely wealthy or have a full scholorship, you are basically in debt up to your ears by the time you graduate. How are we supposed to make monthly payments on our loans if our own college is extracting money from us right out of our own pockets? I cannot count how many text books I bought and never opened all semester. Then the store will give you 2% back of what you paid for it, or worse, nothing at all. I get misc. charges on my bill for damages I did not do. If college is a business, then let's place some laws in order for the business's consumers to be treated right. Shouldn't there be more laws implemented to aid and protect struggling college students?

"Dissent is the highest form of patriotism." - Thomas Jefferson.

So many Libs make this false attribution. Look at Henry's answer in this thread:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Atmd8xqJSShu4o_tzOzTzqrsy6IX?qid=20070706093119AAsgeiS&show=7#profile-info-3IaD8rO7aa

Trouble is, Jefferson never said it. Historians agree he never said it. Even the Jefferson historical web site says that Jefferson never said it:

So, why to Y!A libs keep wrongly attributing the dissent quote to Jefferson?

my boyfriend of a year and a half is in fort benning at basic training. his first phone call was made home, and then he wrote me about 4 times in the first month. when i finally got his address I was able to write back. his 4th and last letter he wrote to me said that he wanted to be serious about me and prayed that I would stay strong until he gets back. He's been writing home several times in the last few weeks, but he has not written me back. I wrote him 3 times since his last letter because I was waiting on him response, but the last letter I told him that I don't know why he's not writing me. he got a phone call pass and used it to call home. if he loved me, wouldn't he call me? I'm trying to be strong, but if he doesn't want to be with me, then why doesn't he tell me? he even asks about me in his letters home so i dont get i. i feel bad b/c it seems like most other guys are calling and writing their g/f's and he's calling and writing home. i really love him, but i can't force him

Asian American, African-American, Jewish-American, This-American, That-American. Good grief why are these stupid labels necessary? And how are they supposed to bring us together when all they do is focus on our outer differences?

Liberals also oppose racism, sexism, thisism, thatism, and every ism ever known to man. Yet they fully support affirmative action, which awards people for being of a certain color, or gender, while penalizing members of other races or genders. Why is this?

Americans are gullible and easily manipulated by all forms of Goverment. You believe what they want you to believe, regardsless of which side you choose.

I believe at least 99% of Congress is corrupt, 99% of our Senators are corrupt. With the current Dem/Rep parties main-streaming their agendas - it's clear they are corrupt.

What's a person to do when he hears the guy next door stay "he's the lessor of the greater evil" ? Again "Complacent"

When someone stands against our way of Government - kill the messenger. Americans love to stand somewhere!

Our Government is filled with money, greed, lawyers, contracts, pensions that work for who? Themselves - who regulated themselves - all paid for by the great American People!

Our Government is full of gonorrhea from within. The infection is never treated - only masked by the American people.

Show me a Senator - I'll show you a liar. Show me a Congressman - I'll show you a thief. Show me an American - I See!

Historical "What If...?" #1:

What if the Japanese hadn't bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941 during World War II?

In this story the representive say if we increase spending buy 180 billion, effectiveness will increase by 31%,

I find that to be rediculous, for 180 billion, you only get a 31% increase in the effectiveness of the system,

These people are are criminals,

when you (as a citizen) get arrested, the cops can tell you your life story once you get to central processing, but cant notify immigration and say hey come pic this guy up when they pic up an illeagle imigrant ????

I dont get it, so to get someone to pick up the fu**ing phone and use it to enforce the law, it costs 180 billion, and even then you end up with a 69% failure ratio how on earth is this acceptable ???

if your company operated on ratios like this you would be out of business in less than 6 months, so how can our dept of national security operate on the same ratios ???

Im not against people that immigrate in the right way for a reasone

Do you guys think Bloomberg can win the NY electoral vote? He is very popular in NYC. If he wins the NY votes and the other 2 candidates closely split the other 49 states electoral votes, the House of Representatives will elect the President because no one will reach 270 electoral votes (simple majority). Just a thought, let me know your input!

There have been few times in American history when so many urgent issues needed to be addressed. Rarely has a presidential election been so up in the air. The future direction of the country has rarely been more at stake. But when any of these issues are raised here, the majority of the responses tend to be juvenile name-calling. Is this because the majority of users are 14 or under? Or do people really have nothing more useful to say? It baffles me that people can feel so strongly about an issue, and yet the most persuasive thing they can find to say is "You're an ***hole."

Come on people. If you really believe in your positions, convince us. Give us some intelligent arguments to explain why we're wrong. Leave the cheap insults and name-calling on the playground where they belong.

If we need to abandon our rights for the sake of protecting our country, isn;t that saying democracy can't work in practice? If we rely on the electoral college, does that mean that one man one vote cannot work in every election? Do we really live in a democracy? Are we really free? Or are these just ideals?
