Politics & Government - 5 August 2007

You've seen the commercials and maybe even gone to the websites yourselves. Just how can people think for a minute that the 10 or 50 bucks they're sending so quickly for the hopes that the ad will reveal a secret money making opportunity will work for them?
I suppose this question leaves a wide open hole for opinions, but aside from the obvious, I have to say this:

Anybody who is crooked enough to not even tell you what it is you are to believe in ( ie. an ACTUAL PRODUCT!) RIGHT UP FRONT, has never, and will never have even the least bit of respectability that makes them worthy for even one nickel from another person! Yet people pay these "small fees" left and right. Look, it's ALLLL of those little $8.95's that add up to HUGE money for these cons.
I've never actually paid the "processing fee" so I really have no clue what it is they are selling. Some of you might even think I'm out of line to judge these websites.
What I judge is their character- Something money can't buy.

I do a newsletter. It originated by me being the editor for my Union's Newsletter Committee, but because the Union is slow and wanted to censor it, my partner and I continued the Newsletter on our own and quit the Committee. Our Union is taking claim to the previous newsletters that we made while we were the "union newsletter" but we were never compensated for our efforts as stipulated in the union's bylaws. Generally, the copyright stays with the author, but there is question of who has claim to the copyright of the past newsletters because we were in a committee for it. Does the Union have copyright claim of the old newsletters or do the editors because we were never compensated?

Democrats are already shooting themselves in the foot with the new "do nothing" congress. Do you think it would be even worse to try and push either of these 2 candidates at the american people?

I have been a council tenant for 8 years, and am 6 weeks ahead with my rent account.
They have decided to clear and demolish our estate, but I have not found a suitable property in an area I am prepared to move to.
They are now threatening us remaining tenants with eviction if we don't find somewhere within the next 3 months.
Can they do this?

IF you ARE ready for a new administration, I am curious. Are you just tired of republicans period and just want a democrat? Or do you just want a new republican who can do a better job? Or do you just want to pick the best candidate, regardless of their political affiliation? Of course, some people aren't very political, so would you fall into the "i don't care who gets elected, as long as its NOT George Bush? I am curious to the mindset of the voting public

I'm planning to be either a medic or doctor in some branch of the military, but don't really understand all they do. Do you still have to go through boot camp, training, and other things as an officer would do?

Because of a spinal injury, i don't now if i could physically do that, but at the same time i really want to. So, if anyone could explain fully what the medical team does in the military, mainly the Marines; that would be great :)

I'm still in high school, if that helps. It'll be a while till i can join in the military.

The father is in the Navy reserve and will be out of the service when he comes back. He refuses to support the baby until paternity is established. When he comes back the baby will be three months old. If he dies over there, is there a way for me to still establish paternity? Everyone in the military I know tells me that the military will not use the DNA samples that they keep for this purpose.

I am aware that, in the UK, a person can still be executed for treason and you can technically hang a man for stealing your car. The car one is clever as it dates back to the time of horses. If someone stole your horse, it was deemed that they stole your livelihood as the horse was your transport to convey both yourself and your goods. The car replaced the horse and the law was not repealed, therefore, if you are willing to risk a murder charge, you can legally hang somebody for stealing your car. One local bye-law, that was only repealed around 10 years ago, applied in a Northern village called Blackhall. The law allowed you to have sex, in public, on one side of the street but not the other. That law went back a few hundred years. Sadly, no! you can't go to Blackhall and have sex in public, it's illegal throughout the village now LOL

Should a 18 year old go to jail for having sex with a 16 year old? How old should you have to be before you can decide if you wanna have sex or not. I just think it's unfair that when ur 18 you can go with a 50 year old, but when ur 16 you can't go with a 19 year old legally.

My husband has been in the army reserves for five years now and he has just put in the paperwork for active duty army. He is allowed to pick what state and base he wants to serve on. He has been overseas once already. We now have a one year old daughter so my main concern is to hopefully find a base that is non infantry/ or combat. Basically if there is one out there that does not or rarely gets deployed. He was diagnosed with ptsd from the first time he was deployed and I really believe another tour would do him in. So, I was wondering, are there any bases like that, or any ways of avoiding future deployment? His mos is personnel. His rank is E5(sargent). We are planning on having another child in the near future so we both really want to find a way of him fulfilling his dream of being active duty but without the worry of deployment. I support our troops, God bless them! We just really hope to find a happy medium. Thank you for any and all answers!
