No part of government represents the people as directly as the House of Representatives. If he spits on them ... he spits on you.

Hi. I'm a 16 yr old living in Shreveport, Louisiana. About 2 months ago, my father got a job opportunity in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The only thing was that we all had to move down there. When I say all, I mean, myself, my dad, and my stepmom. I didn't want to do it. I've lived in Shreveport all my life and I didn't want to move 4 hours away to live in a busy city that I don't like. Over the past 2 months, I've so far been doing everything in my power to try to stay in Shreveport, but so far nothing worked. My dad came to the conclusion that the only way I'd get to stay in Shreveport is to live with my mom. My mother lives in a 1 bedroom apartment with my stepdad in Shreveport. They are a very happy and stable couple, but my mom said that she didn't have much room for me. About a week ago, I was talking to my neighbor, who said that at 16, I can decide which parent to live with, no matter what either of them say. I just wanted to know if this is true. If not, what can I do at age 16? :(

I have my own GD opinion and I have a right to voice it! I believe that no matter who you are, or where your from you have a right to disagree. However I dont believe that anyone has the right to blame their misfortunes on everybody else....if you dont like Bush thats fine...But he IS the president of the UNINTED STATES OF AMERICA....I want to know what happened to all the flags and stickers and banners that supported our troops?Now all you hear is people trashing them and bashing them every time they get a chance. Whether you know it or not, everytime you say how stupid this war is and how stupid we are for being over there, you are saying all the deaths of our troops, loved ones, and friends is in vien. If we are over there for no reason then they are dieing for no reason. I am out raged I have family there and I would NEVER put them down....but you people do it every day. You let them know every day just how much you dont care about what THEY believe...they chose to be there.

"I'll not bother to debate each item you have dead wrong on each item. See the movie and then you will have an informed judgment in order to have a conversation about the subject."

This was in response to electric cars mind you. But why do liberals feel they are the authority in all matters and conservatives just need to be silenced?

As a conservative Christian, I say to you that liberals do have a few valid points of concern and I would never try to shut down debate. When they are wrong like they are on things like abortion, Ill hear what they have to say about it but in the end GOD IS THE ONLY AUTHORITY!

i have been working there for about 7 months.
probationary period is 2 weeks.
point system at work until you get fired:
5 pts - unexcused absenses/tardies
15 days of Requested time off which includes doctors notes.

we are given 15 days of RTOS.
For the past 2 weeks i have used a total amount of 3 doctors notes for a personal reason. on friday i called into work saying i would be missing work and bringing in a note (note #4). All notes were from the same valid doctor.

i got a call back later saying i was fired for abusing the doctors notes and i cannot keep using it as an excuse to miss work.

the doctors notes are real but still after telling them that, they still insisted that i was fired for abusing it.

I AM ALLOWED 15 DAYS OF RTOS??? i do not understand why i was fired for using 4 days of doctors note when i have 15 days allowed to me. i have never used a doctors note before and have only been using it for the past 2 weeks.

what should i do? was this fai

Do we have more to gain by shutting down debate from people we disagree with, or do the people deserve to hear both sides?

Our city has decided to begin charging everyone with a security system, a $20 permit fee. Of course, we already pay for the system to be put in by a local company, and then pay that local company money every month to have it be working. I cannot see how this will help keep crime down in our city. People have to apply for a permit, whether it is a business or a residence, get approved, and then, get to pay the local company each month as well. The city seems to be helping crime by doing this. What do you think about this?

NEW YORK - He was beaten and left for dead one night in a robbery while walking home in 1999. His skull was crushed and his brain severely damaged. The doctor said if he pulled through at all, he'd be a vegetable for the rest of his life.

For six years, the man could not speak or eat.

On occasion he showed signs of awareness, and he moved his eyes or a thumb to communicate. His arms were useless. He was fed through a tube.

But researchers chose him for an experimental attempt to rev up his brain by placing electrodes in it. And here's how his mother describes the change in her son, now 38:

"My son can now eat, speak, watch a movie without falling asleep," she said Wednesday while choking back tears during a telephone news conference. "He can drink from a cup. He can express pain. He can cry and he can laugh.

"The most important part is he can say, `Mommy' and `Pop.' He can say, `I love you, Mommy' ... I still cry every time I see my son, but it's tears of joy."

The progress of the patient, who remains unidentified at the family's request, is described more formally in a report in Thursday's issue of the journal Nature.

Experts called the results encouraging but cautioned that the experimental treatment must be tried in more patients before its value can be assessed. The researchers are already proceeding with a larger study.

Before the electrodes were implanted, the man was in what doctors call a "minimally conscious state." That means he showed only occasional awareness of himself and his environment. In a coma or vegetative state, by contrast, patients show no outward signs of awareness.

There are no reliable statistics on how many Americans are in a minimally conscious state, but one estimate suggests 112,000 to 280,000. Doctors may try medications to improve their condition but no drugs have been firmly established as helpful.

The experimental treatment is called deep brain stimulation. It has been used for years in treating Parkinson's disease, although in this case the electrodes were implanted in slightly different places. The goal of the stimulation was to provide "drive" to areas of the brain that are critical for specific skills like speaking.

Similar stories of partial recovery from brain damage occasionally grab headlines, whether the improvement came from treatment or just out of the blue.

Or will they 'Kerry' it?

http://www.al.com/opinion/birminghamnews/cartoons/021904_stantis.jpg

To 'Kerry' means to totally avoid the issues at hand and focus solely on bashing Bush. You recall that John Kerry, a 2004 Presidental Candidate did that very thing.

Today's Democratic candidates don't present plans, solutions, or ideas. They just 'Kerry' it.

They denounce Bush yet offer no solutions of your own.

Tis the liberal way.

There is alot people who don't vote and such and there is a lot of discussion on here and from Sen. Ohbama's question.

I always had a social studies/civics class, every year until my senior year in high school, because I two of such classes my sphomore year. We have state assesment tests over this stuff. So, I am having a hard time beleiving there is an issue of education. Unless schools are cutting back such programs.

Honestly, I didn't start voting until my second year college. I try my best to educate myself on candiates, but I still feel clueless at times.

Why do we focus so much on the Presidential elections? Everyone focuses on the President. I think people need to be aware of Congress and the such.

I really think we need to put term limitations on legislators to elimnate career politicans. I still recoginze alot faces on C-Span from my little years. I think this will help dilute the two party cock fight and make them compete with the third parties.

Russia plans on dropping a flag at the bottom of the arctic waters to claim and prove that it is part of the Russian terroritory. They predict there are vast amounts of havestable resources deep under the ice.

While the U.S. is planning on dominating space for military superiority and acquiring plentiful resources on the moon and beyond, is it possible Russia is planning on dominating Earth's ocean technologically for resources and military superiority?

Instead of trying to beat the U.S. in a space race, is it possible Russia is taking a different route to power? Technically speaking, who ever controls Earth's oceans does control the world, since 3/4th of the world is made up of oceans.
