I read question afte question about Israel and the Palestinians. Yet the people who criticise Israel - often with incorrect info as their starting point - never seem to care or even know that jews have been kicked out of every single Arab country. Except Iran, where they live as second class citizens.

Israel welcomed and absorbed all the jews from the Muslim states. Why, then, have the Arab countries not welcomed their Muslim brethren, instead of leaving them in Gaza and West Bank?

There are 22 Muslim countries, many of them large and rich. There is one tiny jewish country, and she is smaller than Wales.

hunting rifles im ok with but hand guns and assault rifles are made to kill people. if we stopped making those available to the public i think gun violence would go down. no one is going to walk down the street with a 3 foot manual rifle.

Many democrats want to take away profits from big oil. They also think that somehow the tax cuts increased the price of oil. After all, its not like we're in a war or anything. Would taxing them lower gas prices, or would the prices go up to makeup for the taxation? Even if the government would try to subsidize people who pay for gas, it wouldn't make much difference considering that the profits from oil companies aren't that great. Banks and credit card companies make more. And if taxation is to high, maybe the government would have to subsidize the oil companies just to they can stay in business.

Prior to and through the Eighteenth Century, predominate usage of the expression "bear arms" exclusively referred to the profession of military service, as opposed to the use of firearms by civilians[3][4][5].

"In late-eighteenth-century parlance, bearing arms was a term of art with an obvious military and legal connotation. . . . As a review of the Library of Congress's data base of congressional proceedings in the revolutionary and early national periods reveals, the thirty uses of 'bear arms' and 'bearing arms' in bills, statutes, and debates of the Continental, Confederation, and United States' Congresses between 1774 and 1821 invariably occur in a context exclusively focused on the army or the militia.[3]"

As an example, the expression 'bear arms' is contained in the United States Declaration of Independence in the sense of 'military service' on a warship, as part of an indictment of the King of Great Britain for conscripting Colonial sailors to serve on British warships.

If you have ever been in an accident from simple to major- have you noticed that on the little card the police dept. gives you to fill out asks for your DL#, DOB, Address and such? If someone wanted to they could obtain your social online within minutes of receiving that info...am I wrong or not in wanting to pursue a lawsuit against the City of (fill in blank) for infringing on my rights to keep my information private?

In a world of identity theft, that is sure a huge door opened for one to obtain anything about that person...would love posts from all but especially law enforcement/professionals in this field...

I worked in credit lending and know the resources in finding this information and it is scary to know that law enforcement makes you provide this information and if you refuse they will input it themselves from your dl...

I had a friend whos daughter stayed at my house for 1½ month on vacation. This "child" is a few months short of her 18th birthday. My youngest daughter is 14, a few months short of her 15th birthday. Well, come to find out the oldest was "doing things" to my daughter that I do not care to mention but you can imagine. When I asked a social worker how to go about this situation and what is the procedure, she said: "That is child-on-child assault and we are not interested in that, we only investigate adult-on child molestation, if you report it then DSS will find you (ME??!!?) in neglect and we can sue you for custody of the child." Mind you, I was at WORK while this was happening!!! How am I neglectful for leaving a 14 year old and an 18 year old alone in a house because I have to work??? Then I mentioned that maybe I should go to the police, she said that the police will only report it back to DSS and it will be the same procedure. Anyone can help with this?? Thank you!!!

I am not asking whether you would be drafted or not, or whether you are even elgible to be drafted.

I'm not asking whether you think we should have a draft or not.

I'm simply asking you whether you personally would do what you are asking thousands of young men and women to do already?
