Hi, yess i know what your thinking im insane, but it's true for the past couple of days, i have been working for 13 hours a day and i am only 15 years old!! I tried to get a job at petmart, me and the manager talked for an hour, and the last question she asks me is my age??? She should have before, i said 15 she said she won't hire me. That kinda seems fair, only it took an hour, the job was done and i was just about to get it??? Well that is acceptable but what isin't is the fact that now that i have no alternative job, i have to go back working in the killing frying hot sun, with no means of protection from it, except what you can do for youseld at home (they dont give any form of protection, tents or anything) The job is berry picking, usually it is that you work how many hours u want right? But it is very different. They expect u to wait 13 hours, because the truvk to weigh our berries comes at 8:30pm and we usually start work at 7:00am or 7:30. Is this legal? (Con't in details!)

Keep in mind that restoring Habeaus Corpus rights is not being "soft" on terror, but merely allowing the detained to challenge his detention.

Why does someone who never makes any long distance calls still pay the interstate tax to the phone company ?

Can you identify the differences between a Democrat, a Liberal, and a moderate?
If an individual happens to be anti-Bush, that doesn’t automatically make them a Liberal. Many people from his own party disfavor him. So does that make Republicans who criticize Bush, liberals too? Please explain yourself!!

Note: Please refrain from extraneous rants about liberals and their attacks against GWB loyalties. That is irrelevant to the question. Stick to the topic. Thanks!

"A moderate is just a liberal disguise, and they are doing everything they can to derail the conservative agenda, and they've been frustrated, they haven't been able to do anything about it because conservatism has been so strong. This propaganda attack on the president has weakened him." –Rush Limbaugh

My question. If they have this much detailed information, the number three man giving them information, why are we getting reports and no actions to kill, capture or damage them as much as possible? My President stood on a pile of rubble in NYC telling the world we're coming to get them, you can either help us or be a part of the problem. Why are we not getting them if we are supposed to be fighting al-Qaida WHEREVER they are? You're either with us, or against us. What happened to that statement? I'm totally against us still being in Iraq but if this IS true, it's totally inexcusable.

U.S. intelligence analysts have concluded al-Qaida has rebuilt its operating capability to a level not seen since just before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, The Associated Press has learned.

The conclusion suggests that the group that launched the most devastating terror attack on the United States has been able to rebuild despite nearly six years of bombings, war and other tactics aimed at crippling it.

Question is...
How can al-Qaida be stronger...
I thought "The Bushman" was killing
them all IN Iraq because Bushman
and the Republicans kept chanting...
Innocent Iraqi's must be killed so they
don't come to USA to kill our people...

How come Bush & the Republicans
let al-Qaida get stronger?

Bush told us that Al Qaeda had been severely crippled. He also is telling us that Iraq is improving. Can Bush be believed by ANYONE now? Is he putting us at risk by not telling the truth?

If you are are a patriot you would be a citizen 1st and a party member 2ND never the other way around. If we have come to a point that we are so far separated that we cannot unite on common ground (liberties) than it is time for a revolution.

"The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all. I like a little rebellion now and then. It is like a storm in the atmosphere." Thomas Jefferson,

My wife was served a summons for court today. In the papers This place claims that she owes them almost 700.00. Well we've been paying on this the past few months and my record shows it being down to just under 300.00. The claimed, at the time of filing, that they recieved no payments and have to payment history. So i sent my wife to pay a fee to get us up to date. Well she got there and they pulled up the agreement and found out that the balance they had WAS wrong and we were right. We were told we still need to appear in court and that they will tell the judge that they made the mistake, that we have been paying all along. Will i still get charged a fee , even though we really have no business being there after all??

Everybody loses, but Big Oil.
Conclusion: It is always in Big Oil's interests for prices to rise, and they can cause these increases by 'not having enough refinery capacity'. And they own these refineries.
Isn't something very rotten here?

I have a claim that I refuse to pay and my insurance doesn't want to cover. It is not a "recurring problem" but the insurance company wants to think so in order to not cover. Can someone tell me what the statues of limitations are in order to remove this eventually off of my credit and or to write to my creditors to eventually have removed?

I am a student in a state university in southern California. I live on campus. The housing department has charged me an "optional" activity fee but they have not put on any actvities this quarter.

I want my money back.
What does California and Federal law say about getting a refund for fees that were not put to their stated use? Can use state the code and subsection?

A soldier recently died in Iraq. He was from my city, my friend knew him for 10 years, now the westboro baptist church is planning to picket his funeral. Who in their right mind would picket a dead soldiers funeral with signs that read "Thank God for dead soldiers", "Soldiers die God laughs" God is all caring, I do not believe he rejoices in the death of people. Just think of how the family of this dead soldier would feel when they go outside and see these heartless jerks picketing his funeral. So anyone got some good ideas I can do to stop these sick bastards spread of hate. I guess when westboro started their little cult they forgot all about "love thy neighbor"

This is what they said:

_______________________

In support of the people of Iraq, we the undersigned Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, state our opposition to the Iraq Oil Law.

We also oppose the decision of the United States government to require that the Iraq government pass the Oil Law as a condition of continued reconstruction aid in legislation passed on May 24, 2007...

***

The U.S. government should leave the matter of how Iraq will address the future of its oil system to the Iraqi people to be dealt with at a time when they are free from occupation and more able to engage in truly democratic decision-making.

It is immoral and illegal to use war and invasion as mechanisms for robbing a people of their vital natural resources.

Exactly what constitutes public intoxication? How do the police know your intoxicated. Is it just physical signs like weaving while you walk? What if you don't weave while you walk, or some other obvious sign? Do the police really give you tickets and/or arrest you for public intoxication? And, most importantly, what if you're just waiting for someone to pick you up so you don't drive drunk? Can/Will they still ticket/arrest you?
