I want to change my last name back to my birth last name. My step-dad adopted me and I have his last name right now, but I want my old last name back and I have my birth certificate and old SS cards to prove what my original last name was.

Does this cost a lot of money, do I need a lawyer, etc?

I'm an adult and not a minor...but my step-dad's last name stuck with me...

heres the scenario-> i was gonna make a left at an intersection, the girl in front of me went, i went, and someone decided to make a right just before we made a left. after making a left, some huge truck was getting out of a parking lot so, it made me stop in the middle of the crosswalk where at that point the light turned green for the opposite traffic and i was blocking a bus.

but my dilemma is that the if the guy from the opposite traffic didnt make a right just before i made a left, i would have had enough room to NOT block the bus,

STILL, the cop gave me a ticket.

do u guys think i'll have a chance of getting my ticket dismissed if i plead my case? i live in california and if anybody knows, it was in the city of Glendale.

i also have a history of tickets like speeding and failure to stop at a stop sigh.

PLEASE, please people, give the best advise of what to do to get out of it, i really really dont think i was at fault

This is not a fluff question to get only Democrats all riled up. I took a look at every candidates sites tonight, on both sides of the false divide. Those four are the only ones with a link like that. To me, that seems to show that they will bow to anybody to get votes. I'm not racist, I know 4 languages, I've lived in and visited other countries, but I'm an American, and I would like to know why. Your thoughts? Your outrage? Your viewpoint?

Why not have every major language up there along the top? Like Chinese, Hindu, French, German, werbeH, etc?

Just wondering. I came across a question, and an answer had such a strong and negitive response to muslims and the religon of Islam.. I once went to Africa to build a hospital. Does that make me a terrorist because of my race? Some people are so stuck up with themselfs, and just dont understand that not all Muslims are terrosrits!

There is some lobbying for gay and lesbian couples to have the right to marry and gain the same rights as a traditional husband and wife marriage.

Personally, i believe that new legislation should be drawn up to cater for unions that give similar rights to couples that are married.
However i do not think that legislation should be changed to allow same sex couples to marry as traditional couples do now, specifically because this original legislation was chartered to apply to 'traditional' husband wife couples, not same sex couples.

What is your opinion on the issue?

If I lie, it's a crime, if they lie, it's legal...and condoned. It gives the impression they are above the law. As far as that goes, they can make up any story/charge they want, at any time, and a judge will side with them 99.99% of the time

most people have defined ww3 being the nuclear holocaust, but...

assuming US (5700 active nukes), Russia (5800), France (350), UK (200), and China (130) are all too intelligent to launch nuclear missiles against eachother (each country has too much too lose so to speak, and there is no "beef" between them large enough to justify such an attack)...

and the significantly smaller nuclear states --India (120), Israel (120), Pakistan (30) and North Korea (5?) are not inclined or in the position to attack the major nuclear states, or do enough damage that would destroy mankind...

what could actually cause ww3 and how does this spell annihilation for the human race?

Long live a free Kosova where the rights of all people regardless of creed and nationality will be respect. I know some of you will start complaining about the destroyed church. Do not worry we will rebuild them and everyone is welcome to come and see them as long as they have a entry visa for Kosovo.

Like when he wanted the immigration bill passed and spoke to the country and said...

"Those determined to find fault with this bill will always be able to look at a narrow slice of it and find something they don't like."
"If you want to kill the bill, if you don't want to do what is right for America, you can pick one little aspect out of it."
"You can use it to frighten people."

“U.S. and British media were generally under whelmed on Sunday by Live Earth, the mega-concert organized by former U.S. vice president and green campaigner Al Gore, which, though built on the model of Live Aid and Live 8, created a less positive buzz.”

Over 1,000,000,000 people were associated with this, and nada on it in the media.

The actual owners of the US media are republicans, and god forbid any positive news about the democrats.

Bush administration exploited the attacks of September the 11Th to change foreign policy and make military advances without prior justifications?

If your answer is yes than my follow up question is. Did the massive propaganda and fear campaign seep into your Psyche enough to condition you into believing that somehow there was a rational and justifiable reason to enter Iraq?

If your answer is no than do you believe that our country is in peril and what can we do?




Disclaimer:

I understand that Saddam did terrible things and he did many with weapons we gave him. I am not saying he was not a bad person. It is just not relevant in this question.

I am not a liberal in fact I am not even close to liberal. I am not anti war and I believe my question is fairly indifferent.

I don't think Bush would be that mad to sell our territory, but if that indeed truly happens...

... What do you think would happen then? In U.S. and France? Would people in New Orleans be grateful for that?
