Me, I find it distracting and educating, but the main reason is that my favorite section got about 5 to 10 questions a day only, so I spend more time here... So what about you?

Ok I just came into the immigration forum to ask a question about living in England or Japan but I saw some of the other questions on here and I thought hmn maybe this forum is a little bit racist...I saw that someone had answered a question saying that illegals have ruined the American dream. Can you PlEASE explain this to me? Im a jr in high school and have 3.89 gpa and 33 on my ACT and I think that if I continue to work as hard as Ive been working through out college and in my career then there's a really good chance that i'll achieve the American dream.And I can not for the life of me understand how an illegal person that I dont even know can ruin something that is ultimantly up to me and me only to achieve.

This would concern the criminal behavior of local officials in law enforcement and nobody in local government wants to touch it, including the local prosecutor. I think they are all scared of reprisals. So how do I get this to a grand jury?

And I don't mean the ones that are innocent until proven guilty. I'm talking about the ones that obviously committed a crime and lawyers are trying to help them out. I think the lawyers are just as bad as the criminals.

If profanity, sex, or violence were publicized as often as religion, if there were as many pornographic images as there were Christmas trees, these left-wing radicals wouldn't even care. In fact, if someone did to profanity, sex, or violence exactly what these radicals are doing to religion, they would be infuriated. Not allowing people to freely say "Merry Christmas" or put up Christmas trees in public is a violation of freedom of speech. It's no different from banning the Harry Potter books because of witchcraft and these are the same people who oppose the ban on the Harry Potter books. So, where's the consistency in this left-wing radical thinking that you can't censor profanity, sex, or violence, but you can censor religion? Why is religion an exception to the principle of freedom of speech and freedom of expression?

A judge in New York has ruled evidence of "hatred" is unnecessary for a prosecutor to pursue a "hate crimes" case against three men arrested for the death of a homosexual man.

The written ruling came from Judge Jill Konviser of the State Supreme Court in Brooklyn, and concluded prosecutors only need to show that the man, who was beaten and then hit by a vehicle in a robbery attempt, was picked because of his sexual orientation, according to a report in the New York Times.

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=57057

So does this mean if a jilted homosexual lover kills the other it would still be a hate crime?

So what the judge says is if a homosexual is killed it is automatically a hate crime?

This sounds more like thought control than anything else

people who can afford to goto the doctor and get antibiotic, or those who can't?

If the rate of contact between people who can afford health care, and the people who can't goes down by extending Healthcare access to those who can't afford it, do you think that your chances of getting sick from them would decrease, and reduce your own medical expenses?

Children and adults in families with incomes below or near
the federal poverty level have worse health than those with
higher incomes (see Appendix II, Poverty for a definition of
the federal poverty level). Although, in some cases, illness
can lead to poverty, more often poverty causes poor health
by its connection with inadequate nutrition, substandard
housing, exposure to environmental hazards, unhealthy
lifestyles, and decreased access to and use of health care
services (1).

I want to know if I am still able to collect my winnings from a SUper Lotto Jackpot if I wont it... even if later it was found out I got my winning ticket by driving to the store with a suspended license. Would that be a problem for me? Or is that just heresy, or do you think the State would try and sue me? What do you think?

http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/iraq/2007-08-11-contractors_N.htm
There are now nearly as many private contractors in Iraq as there are U.S. soldiers — and about half of them are private security guards equipped with automatic weapons, body armor, helicopters and bullet-proof trucks.

They operate with little or no supervision, accountable only to the firms employing them. And as the country has plummeted toward anarchy and civil war, this private army has been accused of indiscriminately firing at American and Iraqi troops, and of shooting to death an unknown number of Iraqi citizens who got too close to their heavily armed convoys.

Not one has faced charges or prosecution.

work requires compensation/wages.......offer a high enough wage and people become interested in the job. this is basic knowledge for anyone with a high school diploma. "jobs Americans wont do" is the equivalent of bets people wont make. last time i checked people are more than willing to plunk down $1 at a 1 in a billion chance of making a million dollars........

Americans will work for a wage they feel is fair. period. so we pay more to employ Americans, I would be glad to pay Americans more, not the criminals who ignore our laws.
