Should they have to apologize for being wrong about WMDs --- possibly the biggest mistake in US history?

I myself would make them a good offer for a couple of "Burglar-welcomers".
Has no-one ever thought of this simple idea for raising cash?

Her brother in law who is in the US legally got pulled over by the police. He didn't have his license but he did have an id to show who he was. The police ran his name called for backup and had him arrested. His name is Jorge Rios and supposedly they were looking for a Jorge Rios Castillo. Well the cops came they put guns to his head and arrested him. The whole time he didn't know why but at the same time he was scared so he wasnt asking many questions. When they took him into custody they let him call for about 2 minutes but would not tell him where he was at so he can let the family know. All they told him is he was being charged with murder and rape and that he was being sent to Laredo. The family was so worried and called every police station in the area. No one had him on record. They kept him 3 days without letting him contact anyone then finally today they let him go home because they had the wrong man. The impounded his car and he had to find a way back to houston from laredo

About a month ago I lost my job. I was working for my aunt. I was fired. I wanted to file for unemployment, but I was told only if you're "not at fault" can you receive it. Also, I had an interview at the local courthouse. The lady called me two days later to ask if I could work full time. She hinted that I was "picked for the position", but said it takes one to two weeks for the background check, reference checks, and commissioner to sign off, and did not say it is definite. It is now Sunday, and Tuesday will be two weeks. I called a week ago and the lady once again reminded me that it takes a while. I want to call again, but don't want to nag. On the first I owe $700 and I don't have it. I applied for state aid, but that was no help. I don't have a car and rely on the bus system. I have been homeless on and off for two years and I am panicking about losing my apartment HELP!

Do you think it's a good idea to report questions/answers you disagree with

or

do you think people should be grown up enough to deal with opinions different then their own?

I say bring on the racists, fundamentalists, fascists, and communists. Although I don't agree with them, it did make yahoo message boards alot more interesting.

On yahoo answers though, the treshold for reporting seems to be alot lower.

My friend is trying to bail his friend out of jail. She is in a pinellas country jail here in florida. We need to know if there is a time limit to when he can turn in the money, befor she has to spend the night there. It's 9pm now. Is there a time where a bail cannot be turned in, is she stuck there for the night. Or can he get her out whenever.

My ex has filed a lawsuit on my daughter's behalf (she was bitten by my mother's dog). He filed as her next friend, and everything I've seen regarding "next friends" makes it look like it's only for when there is no guardian, or the guardian is one of the negligent parties. Wouldn't I, as her custodial parent, automatically be her guardian (full physical, sole legal)? And since it wasn't my dog, how would I be negligent?
So, do I just not understand the whole "next friend" thing, or is this a potential opportunity to squash this case?
I already have a settlement agreement with her homeowner's insurance, we were just waiting for a probate court date to have it ok'd by a judge. My ex just wants to get his hands on her money, and now I have $11,000 in bills in my name from her surgery that can't get paid until I get that insurance money, so that's why I want to get his lawsuit over with ASAP.

Cindy Sheehan has been involved in various protest movements for years and had gone generally unnoticed. Her son reenlisted to return to the war zone in Iraq. After his death she began to use his likeness on her t-shirt and his sacrifice in her campaign; gaining world wide attention. As her son apparently chose to serve our country, it appears that she is misusing his sacrifice for her own gain.

Seeing as how the international courts have found ways to try former heads of state, like Charles Taylor... do you think one day they'll get up the chutzpah to go after Bush et al?

Why does the border patrol deport and send my family and friends back to Mexico, when they dont even bring in any drugs or sh!t like that? Ive had friends and family that have lived here in the U.S. before without their papers, never did ANYTHING wrong. In fact, they would volunteer at shelters and nurseries in their spare time. They went back to Mexico because their parents were dying and their brother was going to be buried over there, which was all they had left of family over there. They came back on feet, crossed the river, almost made it but they got caught. Border patrol just sent them right back to where they had nothing. Why are my mexican kin and friends not allowed back in the U.S. if they havent even done anything bad?

Lets say maybe I was going to have a girl...maybe...and just maybe the "mother" does not want to have this "kid". Can’t I drop the baby on the front steps of a hospital and leave? Hypothetically. This is not a matter of ethical dilemmas people, so a strait answer. What is the law for this? And for how young does the “child” need to be?
