American tax's pay millions to these companies that have fur farm and slaughter houses and stuff???

Animals are often skinned alive 99.9% of the time??



Companies often use dog and cat fur and are still allowed to put faux fur on the label.

We have other ways to test product that work.

I don't want americans or animals in America to die. :(


Most cosmetics are tested and no shampoo isn't tested buy shampoo a dog. It tested by cutting out a chunk off a dog or rabbit stomach while still alive and then the product is covered in it.

Does anyone agree???????? Or am I fighting for a lost that will never because a major issue in the USA???

Why isn't any cadidate talking about this issue??? Is it important.

Shouldn't we use tax dollars for this such as repairing highways, building schools, stopping gangs and drugs.

What classic musicians or music pieces are royalty free? I know if you perform it yourself then you can use any music but where can I find what songs are ready to use for free? I assume more well known musicians such as Beethoven and Bach's music are copyrighted by someone but I'm not sure. All information will help.

register our young women with selective service? That is one of the most ridiculus propositions I have heard in a while (next to the one by Obama to make sex-ed a preschool issue). Are liberals pandering to the radical feminists? Women are the gentler sex, no doubt. Many do serve their country voluntarily, and I don't disagree with that unless they have children. But will our nation totally be turned on it's head by these types of ideas in the name of equality? Let's face it men in women ARE NOT EQUAL in a whole lot of obvious ways, though they have EQUAL VALUE in a healthy and successful society. The Western societies, under Judeo-Christian influence, have recognized this truth.
Is there something wrong with honoring the weaker sex in our society by protecting them? I say not! Whatever happen to chivalry?

Or even white collar criminals who rob hundreds of people of their pensions?
I believe that in america,crimes that people of color are more likely to commit are dealt with harsher penalties thanks to our Racist justice system.
Working for the new york state department of correctional services, I witnessed how pedophiles were set free after they completed a sexual offender program- not once but many times. Eighty percent of them were white caucasian males.
Now I know many people on this site have tried some form of illicit drug, so in my eyes you're just as guilty as the drug offenders who are amost always denied parole and the numbers go up if the person is dark skinned.
Most people are turned on when they hear the news about some rapist being sentenced to a long prison sentence and fancy a gang of hardened criminals taking matters into their own hands, "the old way". In reality inmates are not allowed to lest suffer long and harsh in-departmental penalties.

My son was driving my vehicle while out on a date with a young lady he'd met. He says that the woman got extremely intoxicated, started acting crazy, and jumped from truck while it was moving down the road at about 15mph. About a year and a half later, the woman is making a claim against my insurance company claiming that my son ran into a fire hydrant and now she has a neck injury. Of course the woman never made a police report because the police would have wanted to see the truck, and therefore would have seen that there wasn't any damage; but her claim is that she didn't make the report because she was scared. This all happened in MN and my question is what can they do? Will my insurance pay this bogus claim? I am a little nervous because she has some attorney who has taken up her case.

It was highlighted by a clash between the top 2008 Democratic contenders after Obama said he would be willing to meet with leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba and North Korea. The Bush administration considers the nations regional troublemakers.

Ms Clinton, the New York senator, disagreed, saying such meetings could be used as propaganda purposes.
"Certainly, we're not going to just have our president meet with Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez and you know, the president of North Korea, Iran and Syria, until we know better what the way forward would be," she said.

The wealthiest 1% of our country pays over a third of our total tax receipts, while the lowest 50% wage earners only pay 4% of our total tax receipts. It's a FACT libs, wake up. The rich pay more than their fair share in taxes.

CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. - A court-martial for the alleged Marine ringleader in the kidnapping and execution of an Iraqi civilian began Tuesday with attorneys in the case screening potential jurors.

Marine Sgt. Lawrence G. Hutchins III, 23, the leader of the eight-man squad involved in the death, is charged with murder, kidnapping, conspiracy, assault and other crimes. Hutchins, of Plymouth, Mass., faces a mandatory life sentence if convicted of murder.

Prosecutors say Hutchins' squad hatched a plot to kidnap and kill a suspected insurgent. But when they were unable to find him, the troops instead kidnapped a neighbor, 52-year-old Hashim Ibrahim Awad, marched him 1,000 yards from his house and shot him to death. Sgt Hutchins stated he did it for the USA and to help win the war.

If a person comes to you needing representation and admits to killing someone and later the lawyer finds out he is related to this person killed, must a lawyer continue to protect this person as a client.
