......"As an emergency response to the 1973 oil crisis, the U.S. Congress and President Nixon imposed a nationwide 55 mph speed limit in 1974 by requiring the limit as a condition of each state receiving highway funds, a use of the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution"

After the creation of Pakistan, ther were 34% Hindus in Karanchi, Pakistan. Today there are less than 1$ Hindus in Karanchi. In India there were 8% Muslims in 1947. Today just the official figure of Muslims is around 14%. This figure does not include millions of Illegal Bengalis and Pakistanis .
Muslim agenda in all countries is to breed and work towards a majority. The only solution I see for all democracies is to declare your countries as Christain, HIndu ( including other faiths that are called infidels by Muslims) were Muslims cannot vote. There is nothing wrong in this as many Muslim countries do not give basic rights to non Muslims.
This action needs to be taken now. The west has already woken up to the Muslim agenda 50 years too late. Delay in this matter is dangerous.

We have had laws in every society, and every society is corrupt.

When a criminaly goes to steal they think, can I get away with this without the police being able to pin it on me?

They never think, will the owner hunt me down and cut my fingers off after I rob his shop?


I think if we dropped all laws, Just like the animal kingdom, we would keep on going, existing.

doing bad things would be possible, but someone would get you back, just like how when you do bad now and are caught you go to jail.

I think no man, has the right to limit another man.

i dont think it will be chaos, because most ppl naturally are good hearted.

I think its what we should strive for.

say all you like about laws keeping peace and order, but they do the oppisite too.

I think if a 19 yr old, wants to screw her 17 yr bf, she should be allowed.
Society differs.

I think if i wanna piss outside in my yard, i have that right.

what man is so great that he chooses our rights?

why, should we have laws?

10 years ago I stated on my website... "Law school should be 5 times the tuition, and Med school free". If this had been implemented back then, we wouldnt have the caregiver crisis for the elderly, we have now. Like the ravages of a rampant plague, a perpetual suspicious dubious environment, of endless litigation suffocates prosperities "chance to happen".....tantamount to creating vibrant communities of trusting realationships. The eventual tax revenue, created for the states better than, "sweeping under the rug" those who, just happened to fall through the cracks, mostly for lack of opportunity, and the eventual cost keeping them along after the brokenhearted give up on life. A bit "Orwellian" how DWI became DUI which is now "impaired" (to cover .00000001 and a vitamin or allergy relief pill from a week ago as 2 DUI's) Arizona's pride in having the worlds largest refugee camp, in the world, is sickening, especially when those in terrorists jail camps eat better than 2 sandwich/day

For example, when Reagan died, I heard several Democrats calling him a terrorist and a moron when if he was alive, they would not have the courage to say that to his face. And then, they make fun of Jerry Falwell also, when he died. I didn't agree with Falwell on many things, but to make fun of a dead man is disrespectful. Then, Ann Coulter made fun of Lizzie Edwards because of her cancer. It is sickening that people degrade others like this because of different political ideologies when the person is probably a coward that attacks the weak or already dead.

My brother andy53333 asked the question what to do with older brother who is executor of the estate of my late Father, passed in '96. Executor will not give us copies or any information on the Deed plus, after researching we found a mutual fund that was not disclosed to us.The answer given was to get Evidence to prove fraud, HOW! when he has all the papers and we can't access anything, like the life insurance! Yes I found info on the Mutual fund but, we need the executor of the estate to sign documentation in order to even find out what kind of activities have occured on that. We searched records on the deed and find no other records other then when my Father purchased the property back in 1961. Asked for copies/bank statement from Estates checking acct & all we get is Excel SPREADSHEET.Unfortunately, the finances of the other 3 heirs are very limited so, the burden lies on me to hire an attorney for this. DO YOU think a paralegal could help ,(less $$) or do I need to get an attorney?

If you found yourself in a hole in between jobs and had to choose between signing on the dole or working in MaccyD's as a stopgap what would you choose?

Proponents of low skilled immigration claim we "need" immigrants to do these jobs, as British people wont' "do" them and would prefer to sign on. This is untrue.

My other half worked in MaccyD's for quite a while when he first came to Wales and was looking for a "proper" job - to him it was a matter of pride. He hates claiming benefits and prefers to work even if its crap work.

Plus

1) a crappy job is better money than dole - 40 hours at £5.35 ph = £200-ish per week + tax credits. Dole is £57 per week.

2) Its always easier to get a job when you already have a job. Even a crap one.

3) Even a low status, burger-flipping job looks better on your CV than *gaps* in your employment history, and provides some basic "skills" (customer service, cash handling etc) which you can dress up.

What would you do?

why is it that communists and other leftists claim that communism never existed in eastern europe? with this logic, you can say capitalism never existed in america, thus discrediting the blame that leftists put on the "capitalist machine"(america). i think capitalism exists in america to some extent(we still have government schools without vouchers, abusive teacher unions, welfare programs, income tax(which actually lowers gov't revenue), and sometimes affirmative action), but i also think communism existed in eastern europe.
