I've seen a video with some pretty unique evidence about that statement. "The 9/11 tragedy was a planned attack." A terribly planned attack add that.

A coworker of mine had an auto accident on Monday. The other person hit her 3 week brand new car. A police officer showed up and supposably filled out an accident report. The coworker calls within 48 hours (like she was told to) and was told there was no accident report on file and the officer who was on the scene of the accident was on his last day of work before retirement. Neither people's insurance can do anything without a report, although the police aknowledge the fact that it happened? Who is responsible? What can be done about this? The police say they can't do anything and cannot get a hold of the now retired officer.

So i live @ these apartments in San Jose. And I've been trying to deal with the office staff and get things resolved and they just keep making things worse. We recently got a new neighbor and he has a surround sound and he blares his music so loud my picture fell off the wall. So I called security and they never showed up. The next day the same thing music blaring all day, the office was open so I called the office. They came up and told him he needed to turn it down. He asked them who called on him the guy who works in the office points to my apartment and says "they did". So not even a 1/2 hr later the neighbor knocks on the door and is like can I talk to your boyfriend? So the management told him we called. Isn't it supposed to be confidential? Then this past weekend he's blaring his music. One of his friends accidently opens my door and walks into my apartment and all i can smell is marijuana coming from his apartment so I call security. They don't want to deal with it they call

I hear this all time but it does not square with the facts;

"But what really astounded him was the amount of giving: In 2000, he
says, conservative households gave 30 percent more money to charity
than liberal households."

"It's down the line," he says. "Religious people are 21 percent more
likely to volunteer in explicitly secular causes. They're even twice
as likely to donate blood."

The administration unveiled a series of tough border control and employer enforcement measures designed to make up for security provisions that failed when Congress rejected a broad rewrite of the nation’s immigration laws in June. The plans were announced by Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez.

The package revealed Friday has 26 elements, and the administration announcement said they "represent steps the Administration can take within the boundaries of existing law to secure our borders more effectively, improve interior and worksite enforcement, streamline existing guest worker programs, improve the current immigration system, and help new immigrants assimilate into American culture

then what is so terrible about the idea of gay marriage? Shouldn't it be all about people having the same amount of rights? And doesn't the "treat people as you would like to be treated" mantra also come into effect?

I don't care if you disapprove of their lifestyle, or if your religion tells you to hate them because of what they do behind closed doors. The thing we should remember more than anything is that they are PEOPLE and they come with the same feelings the rest of us do. Ergo... they deserve the same amount of rights we do. The right to a tax break for being married. And the right to make major decisions for the other, especially for something as important as a decision involving life support.

And- guess what- they will continue to lead their lifestyles the way they choose to, whether other people like it or not. If they're already living together, what is so terrible about a piece of paper?

Does the 7-year "live-in-marriage" law work in terms of gay couples?

Yes our tax dollars again went to the pockets of the rich .

The poor already know they have less money its the rich that are getting hit now and do not like it so Bush just gave them all 60 billion to divide out of tax payer dollars hurting the poor even more .

I read a letter to the editor in a local newspaper with someone saying they were a former army lieutenant commander.

I knew right away Lieutenant Commander is a Navy rank, but I've also heard 'commander' used in the abstract sense. Is there any possibility an Army person would use that title, or was the person full of it (that's my prediction).

It wasn't a particularly controversial letter, but I think the person may have been trying to bolster their credibility.

Some say that the protests and fighting contributed to the failure to defeat N Vietnam. This is not about whether we won or lost,whether it was right or wrong. This also is not an attempt to compare Vietnam and Iraq. My question is about us. Are we acting the same(by fighting/arguing with each other) and could it cause the outcome in Iraq to be less than favorable?

Back when the Oslo accords were agreed, there was a great deal of euphoria in both Israel and Palestine. Both countries people were looking forward to the idea of a two state solution. Yet through the lack of any real advancement to the country of Palestine being formed the situation has became worse and worse

Now we have a situation were the vast majority of Palestinian people are living in poverty. They can see no improvement in their standards of life through all of the negations with Israel

Is it any wonder the Palestinian people have voted for the radical hamas movement? In little over a decade through Israel and the West's failure to deliver, the Palestinian people have now no hope. When people have no hope they go for desperate measures.

you are homophibic or a hate mongar. I answered a recent question as to why Republicans may not have attended the LOGO debate. I stated that because they may not agree with that lifestyle they may not have attended. Furthermore that they have the right to stand up for their principles and points of view. For this I was called a homophobe.

I don't condone the lifestyle but I certainly don't dislike someone because they choose that lifestyle. I have worked with gay people and as long as they don't force their beliefs on me... just as I wouldn't force mine on them, its no problem. I don't mind discussing their lifestyle if they don't mind discussing mine. Point is, I can disagree with you politically or spiritually or about sports and so on... It doesn't mean I don't like you or I despise you. I have liberal friends... its all good!

If someone were to buy you a xmas or birthday present or give you another gift of some kind, and then say weeks, months or even years later they wanted it back, who would legally have the right to it? Who would legally own it? They say possesion is 9 10ths of the law so would it be a case of just fighting for it?! Is there a legal precedent for something like this? And if possesion is 9 10ths of the law, then if you had an item of yours in some elses house, could they then claim it as there property if you say went out and left it there and then came back wanting it back?! At what point does ownership change?!
