I have many opportunites to work in the USA but the companies do not do sponsorship..does anyone have a list of sponsoring companies for auto/fleet mechanics in Orange County..California? I have over 15 yrs of fleet experience. I am a Canadian and Italian citizen. Or do you know of any other way to legally enter the USA permanently to live and work?( I do not have any immediate family in the USA, I am not eligible for a TN Visa (auto mechanics are not on the Nafta list) and I am already married, so these three ways won't work for me) I will pay all required fees to obtain a green card or working visa.

I was searching http://www.newcreditpro.info and came accross http://www.newcreditpro.info/finance/legal-law/legal-steroids.php which gives resources for legal steroids.. after searching through all the links, I can not find any real legal proof that any steroids are legal? Does anyone know of a legal substance available in the US or Canada?

Canada isn't nearly as cool a place now as it was 20 years ago. Seems that there is a lot more racism and hatred now, bullying in schools to the point on deaths etc.. Multiculturalism destroyed Canadian culture and replaced it with a bunch of Politically Correct nonsense... People want to come here because it's a great place. Our culture is what made it great.. now it's becoming little pockets of the most screwed up places on earth. I think it's time we put that PC crap away and just accepted that Western culture is superior to the Taliban or to India or China or wherever... It's O.K. to say that...Why aren't people trying to get into China, or India, or Saudi Arabia, or Egypt or Quatar or UAE....Because it sucks there...it's O.K. to say that...

In the state of Alabama in 1992- if its legal for a female to have sex at the age of 16, but she has it with a 23 year old male, is that statutory rape? The girl consented and was promiscous anyways. It would be too late now to prosecute anybody. But if anybody found out could the guy have gotten in trouble. If the guy really did not want to do it, but the girl really wanted to, I doubt she would have used him like that to get in trouble. Thats the problem with statory rape, because it is not always forced raped.

Chelsea Clinton works for a hedge fund. This is where the rich go to become richer. Is this a good thing to have the daughter of a political dynasty working where she can make such fantastic sums of money? I would prefer if she toiled to help the less fortunate. I think the Clinton's are all about making a lot of money, as Bush was.

I personally liked Obama and Kucinich's stances on the issue of gay marriage. Although they are total opposites, and I fully support Kucinich's view on it, I felt that Obama made a strong case, and was speaking in terms of uniting all Americans, despite sexual orientation. I liked the fact that Hillary was somewhat more human, it wasn't a debate, so she didn't have to attack anyone which was good. Mike Gravel made a strong point when he said that in five years gay marriage will be a non issue, in fact I think most of the candidates who oppose it today, will fully support it in the near future. What do you think?

It was almost midnight and I was driving my dark colored buick lesabre through the mountains heading home. It was a little fogy and there was very light rain, but very dark. The road was full of turns and hills. So I was cruising along and there were a few other cars passing by every short while, a couple of which passed me (2 lane road) WELL, out of knowwhere I see a car gaining up on me REAL quick and then the blue lights came on! Cop pulls me over and gives me a ticket for going 70 in a 50! I asked to see the radar, but he refused. I told him that it wasn't me speeding and a dark car similar to mine had passed me going real fast moments earlier before he pulled me over, but he started swearing at me! I got the B.S. ticket and went home. The next day I carefully examined the ticket and he wrote a reckless driving charge! And he noted two street names, one was where he apparently caught me speeding and the other where he actually pulled me over. So, I went back on the same road and found out that the two street names were close to 2 miles apart!!! Yet the road I was on was full of large wide turns and hills and you couldn’t see more than ¼ ahead because of a large turn or hill that lasted another ¼ mile! So the cop DID lose sight of the car he intended to pull over WAY before 2 miles! He pretty much guessed it was me, that was it!!! I told the cop when he pulled me over that it wasn’t me but he said “I don’t care!”
And then he filled the ticket out wrong and put down that I can just pay the ticket over the phone, but when I called in to see how much it was, the office lady told me that a reckless driving ticket cannot be paid over the phone and you must show up in court!
I got a lawyer and went to court and got the ticket reduced to just a plain old expensive speeding ticket. I spent $1,000 for lawyer fees and the ticket in all for NOTHING! To this day, I still feel that I should have gotten out of it completely, but they just believe the cops. I need to ask this question and get it off my shoulders! What do you think about this? Thanks!

Climate scientist James Hansen, director of NASA's Goddard Institute of Space Studies, agreed: "You cannot blame a single specific event, such as this week's storm, on climate change," he said.

"However," he added, "it is fair to ask whether the human changes have altered the likelihood of such events. There the answer seems to be 'yes.'"

What is the secret behind the success of American universities. I know that US education is actually failing, students rank 26th out of 35 industrialized countries. But when it comes to higher education, US universities are always the top choices. More funding? or because of those smart Jewish professors from Israel?

Mistake in the War On Terrorism

Michael Sullivan wrote:

President Bush did make a bad mistake in the war on terrorism. But the mistake was not his decision to go to war in Iraq. Bush's mistake came in his belief that this country is the same one his father fought for in WWII. It is not. Back then, they had just come out of a vicious depression. The country was steeled by the hardship of that depression, but they still believed fervently in this country. They knew that the people had elected their leaders, so it was the people's duty to back those leaders. Therefore, when the war broke out the people came together, rallied behind, and stuck with their leaders, whether they had voted for them or not or whether the war was going badly or not. And war was just as distasteful and the anguish just as great then as it is today. Often there were more casualties in one day in WWII than we have had in the entire Iraq war. But that did not matter. The people stuck with the President because it was their patriotic duty. Americans put aside their differences in WWII and worked together to win that war. Everyone from every strata of society, from young to old pitched in. Small children pulled little wagons around to gather scrap metal for the war effort. Grade school students saved their pennies to buy stamps for war bonds to help the effort. Men who were too old or medically 4F lied about their age or condition trying their best to join the military. Women doubled their work to keep things going at home. Harsh rationing of everything from gasoline to soap, to butter was imposed, yet there was very little complaining. You never heard prominent people on the radio belittling the President. Interestingly enough in those days there were no fat cat actors and entertainers who ran off to visit and fawn over dictators of hostile countries and complain to them about our President. Instead, they made upbeat films and entertained our troops to help the troops' morale. And a bunch even enlisted. And imagine this: Teachers in schools actually started the day off with a pledge of allegiance and with prayers for our country and our troops! Back then, no newspaper would have dared point out certain weak spots in our cities where bombs could be set off to cause the maximum damage. No newspaper would have dared complain about what we were doing to catch spies. A newspaper would have been laughed out of existence if it had complained that German or Japanese soldiers were being "tortured" by being forced to wear women's underwear, or subjected to interrogation by a woman, or being scared by a dog or did not have air conditioning. There were a lot of things different back then. We were not subjected to a constant bombardment of pornography, perversion and promiscuity in movies or on radio. We did not have legions of crackheads, dope pushers and armed gangs roaming our streets. No, President Bush did not make a mistake in his handling of terrorism. He made the mistake of believing that we still had the courage and fortitude of our fathers. He believed that this was still the country that our fathers fought so dearly to preserve. It is not the same country. It is now a cross between Sodom and Gomorrah and the Land of Oz. We even have the wicked witch of the west as the new Speaker of the House of Representatives. We did unite for a short while after 911, but our attitude changed when we found out that defending our country would require some sacrifices. We are in great danger. The terrorist are fanatic Muslims. They believe that it is okay, even their duty, to kill anyone who will not convert to Islam. It has been estimated that about one third or over three hundred million Muslims are sympathetic to the terrorists cause...

Hitler and Tojo combined did not have nearly that many potential recruits.

We either win it - or lose it - and you ain't gonna like losing.

So YOU better think about THAT!!!!!!!!!
