Politics & Government - 10 August 2007

The high today was 101 degrees. My friends and I were walking out of the mall, and we saw a bunch of cops and security around a car. When we got closer, it turns out they were trying to get into the car so they could get a dog out that had been left inside. The windows weren't even cracked. I can't even imagine how hot it was INSIDE the car, if it was 101 outside. I can't even breathe when I get inside my car that has been out in the sun! Luckily, they got the dog out, and he is okay. But poor thing!! I can't believe someone would do that.

I have to acknowledge a guy in Forum where I got my post deleted intentionally or otherwise. I agreed with the current policy (maybe rather sarcastically)

then why is Dick Cheney's daughter, Ronald Reagan's son, Alan Keyes daughter, Newt Gingrich's sister, and Terry Randal's (anti-abortion activit) adopted daughter... all gay?

You'd think with all those "family values" they would have nothing but straight children.

I'm having a real tough time deciding when I want to leave for boot camp.

1st option: leave now, and miss the holidays. and start my military career.

2nd option: leave in january, and have to get a full time job, and go to school until I leave.

I want to leave now, but then I don't..

Do you think Al Gore is the "dark horse" in this election? Either for the democrats alone or for the final race? If not, which candidate votes the closest to you on the issues and please state your issues.

For those of you who don't want to go to the link:

Giuliani's explanation further angered his ground zero critics, prompting several to issue a statement demanding an apology.

"He is such a liar, because the only time he was down there was for photo ops with celebrities, with politicians, with diplomats," said deputy fire chief Jimmy Riches, who spent months digging for his firefighter son.

"On 9/11 all he did was run. He got that soot on him, and I don't think he's taken a shower since."

Harold Schaitberger, president of the International Association of Fire Fighters, a union that fiercely opposes Giuliani, said he doubted Giuliani misspoke.

"I think he was simply showing what his true character is — a self-absorbed, self-deluded promoter who got caught and is now just simply trying to backtrack," Schaitberger said.

Really scraping the bottom of the barrel, aren't they?

I have some interesting takes on the whole gay marriage or not issue. One of the arguments that comes up is that marriage protection laws center around raising children. If this is so, should non reproducing couples be limited to partnership laws or consenting adult laws and denied the protection of marriage in order to preserve it's intended purpose. Please just intelligently answer the question. Thanks.

Considering that subprime mortgage lenders were not regulated where due diligence on extending credit to individuals was unchecked, who is to be blamed for this? when lenders found that the debt was of poor quality, they simply kept selling their portfolio to banks and hedge funds to throw the debt on their books and gain immediate profit.
Where was the SEC or Fed Resv to ensure compliance? for the past 5 years or so, the R.E.market has been booming.Were they not aware that the bulk of the industry was fueled by low interest rate offers 3/27 financing schemes? how stupid was the Government to sit back and not realize the growing risks? Now that the sh** has hit the fan are the NECONS ( SEC/Fed Resv) starting to probe into this issue. Typical typical ! now we are in a free fall. Do you think that the USD 38Bln dollar injection of the Fed reserve will solve this problem? its only a temporary solution to liquidity.

I mean people answer questions and either don't cite their source or they simply say what they think is right instead of what they know is right.
I like Y! Answers because it allows you to give your opinions and your thoughts but when it comes to answering questions in fields such as law, while its your right to answer the question, you should make sure you know what you're talking about before you make an attempt at answering the question and skewing the truth. Just a thought.

Is it possible for credit card thieves to somehow generate a CVC2 number, or otherwise obtain the security number without having the physical card in their possesion?

Discover is refusing to cover me for fraudulent charges made to my credit card via the Internet because they claim there is no way possible for the thieves to have the CVC2 number required to make a "card not present" purchase without having the actual card. It must be possible because I did not make these charges, and they must have been made by someone that has stolen my credit card information somehow.

Does anyone have any information about this that would be helpful to me?
