Does it perhaps have something to do with actual people asking actual questions instead of an argument over who loves blastocysts and torture the most?

All crimes, felonies, misdemeanors, etc punishable by the highest extent of the law (Death Penalty)

Or

All crimes, felonies, misdemeanors, etc punishable by the lowest extent of the low (warning/citation)

so it would be like serial killers and crazy people gettinga citation

or

jaywalkers getting the death penalty.

Ministers insisted that British secret agents would only be allowed to pass intelligence to the CIA to help it capture Osama bin Laden if the agency promised he would not be tortured, it has emerged.
MI6 believed it was close to finding the al-Qaida leader in Afghanistan in 1998, and again the next year. The plan was for MI6 to hand the CIA vital information about Bin Laden. Ministers including Robin Cook, the then foreign secretary, gave their approval on condition that the CIA gave assurances he would be treated humanely. The plot is revealed in a 75-page report by parliament's intelligence and security committee on rendition, the practice of flying detainees to places where they may be tortured.

I was wondering if someone could provide me with some insight to an IC issue. I was contracted to do fashion for a company, and I researched and acquired my own list of names & numbers of vendors. My relationship is now ending on a sour note with this company, and to date they still haven't paid me. Unfortunately, I do not have a written contract. However, they're asking that I turn over my vendor contact list, along with files and a detailed list of procedures required to do my job. Who is the rightful owner of this list? Can someone please help?? Thanks!

Dramatic film shot has revealed that British troops in Afghanistan are told to leave heroin-producing opium crops untouched - contradicting Government claims it is committed to wiping out the drug.

The footage shows soldiers fighting the Taliban in a field of opium poppies.

One admits he wants to throw a grenade into "their beloved" plants, but says he would get "the telling-off of a lifetime".

I sold a brand new instrument on ebay. the buyer bought it using buy it now and when she got it, claimed it wasn't what she wanted *i think she just changed her mind about it* so she opens a dipsute. of course paypal wen in her favor, but the item can damage, i'm not even sure if it is playable. it was clear to me that paypal was not responding to anything i sent in dispute. not even my calls or emails to support. i doubt if i opened a nother claim against the buyer that they would do anything, even though i have pictures. I took off my credit cards and bank info ahead of time so they couldn't auto withdraw it.

Point is, i now have a negative balance. it's only a little over 50$, will paypal take this to collections if i dont pay it? or do they charge interest fee? has anyone been thru something similar?

i feel so stupid for not reading their TOS more carefully or all the anti-paypal sites and blogs ...

So what is this "SURGE" anyway?

Republicans and Libertarians? It seems that party lines have become obscured and neither the Democrates, nor the Republicans, seem to be doing such a hot job.

Maybe if we threw a couple of Libertarians into the mix, we would have a group that actually wanted to do some good for this country and would embarrass the rest into serving the nations needs.

Dictionary Definition of Libertarian:

1. One who advocates maximizing individual rights and minimizing the role of the state.
2. One who believes in free will.

Just an idea, any thoughts on it?

also... when were the rest of these passed?

Bush has given himself the power to rewrite all laws with signing statements.

and

When did he create illegal spying programs and then propose to legalize them?

if you could show me when or where these were passed I'd greatly appreciate it. And, if you could please, only links to credible sites. thank you.
