Politics & Government - 18 July 2007

I guess what I am getting at is this: I understand there are alot of deadbeat dads out there and they deserve to make payments, but it seems to me that there is a double standard.

Case in point. I know someone who had two kids. His wife was out screwing other guys while he was out working supporting his family. She eventualy wanted a divorce, took the kids, found a sugar daddy and married again, yet this poor guy still had to pay out of his a$$.

How does that make sense??

Do the laws need to be reviewed? This isn't 1950 when women do not work. I hear so many horror stories of guys who get screwed out of their life when they did nothing wrong at all.

I just read "The Truth about Hilary" where it says that Hilary is a lesbian, stays with Bill just to influence her political power, etc. Is this true? Or did the author just make things up

News Flash! A steam pipe exploded in New York City! It's happened hundreds of times but this time, it's on national news and people are afraid, very afraid. Yep, King Georges tactics have succeeded in scaring Americans over anything and everything.

I am trying to see what type of leagal ramifications I can use against my wife's previous employer. The company ran into a financial bind and started paying her whenever they could afford to cut the payroll checks. Payday was every-other Tuesday yet they wouldn't get their checks until Thursday or Friday. She was released from work last Thursday due to the company having no money. Can we do anything legally based on the fact that she was never paid on time?

Also, she received her last paycheck today which should have been for 80 hours, instead the check was for 24 hours with no explanation why. We have not been able to reach the owner for an explantion. Is there anything we can legally do in this case? She was salaried so there was never a timecard or anything we have to show that she worked 80 hours.

I am a teeenager hoping ro get into politics, and maybe, just maybe, become president. I am very interested, and have read ALOT of books on government, american history, and military.

But i'm wondering, no matter how hard i try to make an answer as informative and as good as i can, it always seems to get more bad ratings than good. So should I give up on this goal?

I had to expedite my passport in LA the day before my trip. My other passport that I submitted 3 months before came in the mail while I was on my trip, although it was supposed to be canceled. And I have been informed that if I don't return the canceled passport I could have problems the next time I use my good passport.

My roommate used to date a good friend of mine. I am close to both of them. My roommate just found out she is pregnant by my friend. She does want to have the baby and plans to get an abortion. She asked me to go with her but I dont believe in abortion so I said no. She called me judgemental and hasnt spoken to me. The real problem is that she hasnt told my friend what she plans to do or that she is even pregnant. She is going to kill his baby without telling him. I think he has the right to know but she says it none of my business and to stay out of it. Doesnt he have the right to know?? It is half his kid too. What should I do?????

i went on an interview the guy told me i had the job, and when can i start. he says he has to wait for the background check to come back and it takes a couple days .i have never had a problem with the background check before as i have had 3 previous jobs in loss prevention. my question is he says i have the job, but should he be saying this, if he isnt one hundred percent sure, due to the fact he is waiting for documentation?

As for how long we have been in Iraq, the cost of a war is not measured in time. It is measured in lives lost.

While our media are impatiently waiting for the 4,000th American death in Iraq that they can trumpet, and rub our noses in — in the name of “honoring the troops” — we need to understand that casualty rates in Iraq are low, as wars go.

If and when that 4,000th American death in Iraq is reached, we need to recall that more Marines than that were lost taking one island in the Pacific during World War II.

During the Civil War, more than twice as many Union soldiers as that were killed — in one day — at the battle of Shiloh, and again at Gettysburg.

The “war on terror” is a misleading phrase. It is the terrorists’ war against us — and it is not something that we can unilaterally call off. Our only choice is where to fight it, over there or over here.

Do you think blacks will vote for Obama just because he's black? From the many discussion I've had with friends, co-workers neighbors ECT, it seems to me that they tend to make decisions as a group and not as individuals.

And I don't want to hear any cry babies talking about me saying "blacks" as being racist. Just answer the question, yes I'm politically incorrect, I deal with facts not emotion on subjects such as these. And no I'm not racist I was married to a black women.
