At what age can a juvenile be automatically transferred to adult court in Alabama if he or she commits a capital crime?

and...

At what age in Alabama is a youthful offender no longer considered a juvenile?

(I understand that I can find these anwsers through research. The problem with that at the moment is that I'm in the process of researching something else. So if the only answer you can give me is 'Look it up' please don't bother).

I have been dealing with a child support matter for almost 2 years. I went to child support enforcement and they told me I had to yet a year because my son father is active duty military and he was going overseas for a year. While he was over there he never supported my son. I then petition the court for child support on his return. I have a court date on Friday Aug 17th. I want this man to pay back child support. What type of proof do I need to bring to show the judge that I have been going through this for a long time? Or is it necessary to bring anything? Paternity is not an issue in this case, bc it has been established already.

The fact of the matter is that Muslims just hate Christians and Jews. Take religion out of the equation and you'll have peace in the Middle East and other Islamic countries.

In the declaration of independence, it is written that "We hold these truths to be self-evident" SELF EVIDENT means that the morals of this country are not derived from any religious text, but rather from common sense. The god that is referred to in the declartion is never singled out as the Judeo-Christian god, but seems to be a Deist abstraction, since it is reffered to as "The God of Nature". Therefore, our morals are not Christian.

Article 11 of the treaty of Tripoli states that "The Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion". This treaty was sent to the Senate in 1797, where it was read to every Senator, and was unanimously ratified by all 23.

The phrases "Under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance and "In God we Trust" on our bills were added in the 1950's, during the height of McCarthyism, in order to set our country apart from Atheist Russia.

So where does this idea of a Christian nation come from?

There are Trolls in YA that target people and make multiple abuse reports. YA is very familiar with this and has chosen to do nothing. Recently, I intentionally made all my answers recently very simple and inane just to avoid violations. I said “NOT!” and I was hit with 9 answer violations in 1 day by some troll. I also got 3 best answers and then was suspended. Here is an example of my answer:
Question: North American Union to Replace the USA?
Question Details: NOT!
Deleted Answer: NOT!
Simple, direct, inoffensive and clear answer.
The Trolls know YA refuses to do anything 99% of the time. Because I said in my appeal post that “NOT!” was an answer, Freddy at YA DELETED my post before he pulled his usual “not an answer”. He didn’t want people viewing the post to see how absurd his answer was. No competition. Interesting how quite a few users thought it was an answer and it was even selected as best answer.
Fred at YA knows he is wrong using excuses like “it isn’t a question” or “it isn’t an answer” on all of these false violations instead of DOING HIS JOB. He also rates his own answers, deletes all posts critical of him, almost never answers the simple question “why?”. Now I have been suspended and they still won’t tell me why.

This activity has taught dozens (possibly hundreds) to be violation report abusers. By Fred’s refusal to DO HIS JOB, instead of solving problems he is actually causing them. Here is the sequence.
1. A user answers a question absolutely correctly by YA TOS.
2. Troll decides to have a little fun and report answer as abuse.
3. User receives an automated violation report from YA.
4. User replies with supplied link on violation report asking why.
5. YA sends ANOTHER absolutely useless automated response a few days later
6. User, now irritated at time wasted, posts on violation forum and asks for details WHY?
7. A few days later, Fred at YA, refusing to DO HIS JOB, sends what almost can be considered another automated response, denies appeal.
8. The User (now pissed) asks again for specifics.
9. Fred either totally ignores the post or deletes it because it makes him look bad.
10. User (now livid seeing how outrageously stupid the system is) turns into a troll created by Fred’s carelessness.
11. Nice job Fred, you made another Troll. Job security.

Why does YA encourage trolls to make false abuse reports?

I know that there are limited slots for combat pilots and they only take the best of the best, and that it's VERY competitive. I'm interested in becoming a pilot, and the one thing I've always wanted to do is fly flighter jets. I'm not interested in a lecture about how "you still have a lot of time to decide about this" or "you have to understand what kind of dangerous position you could be putting yourself into". Obviously I understand what kind of risk this involves. Now here are the real questions I have:

I know that the Air Force is a difficult branch to be accepted into. Would my chances of becoming a combat pilot be higher if I did ROTC right out of high school? Or would they be higher if I went to a prestigous university and then applied?

Currently (I'm only in middle school so this could change) so they really consider women to fly fighter jets and do combat missions? If so, about how many women are there right now.

I saw on the news last night how Canada has purchase it's first of 4 cargo planes and how 1.5 billion is commited to purchasing others...and how the government plans to invest a lot more into all 3 forces in future.

I have this horrible feeling in my gut that WW3 is brewing. The middle east is going to pieces. A war is brewing there that is dragging the entire world into this action. Russia thinks while they are distracted lets go stake our claim so we can regain our super power status, China is doing God knows what we are all too stupid to pay them any mind at all, and North Korea, well they are just plain insane, and as for Africa corruption rules but they will slowly die off of starvation...and as for Australia...the sleeping giant lucky them they are a universe onto themselves.

I just think it's all spiralling out of control and I don't know...does anyone have any solutions to any of this!!?!?!?!

I just think we need to be aware of what our own govt is up to and why.

I'm a 21 and I want to go live in America to either work or study.

...I know.

I've looked at everything and it seems almost impossible. I have a girlfriend in Miami who I've been to see many times (just got back from a 6 week holiday over there).

The only thing I can think of is if my brother registers his company in the states and then I go as an employee or representative of that company. But I'm not sure if this would work or even let me gain a permanent place over there in the end.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Instead of having intelligent debates about politics, there are some who make it personal and like to hurl insults at the other side. I have seen many Republicans on here insulting Democrats just because of their political positions and not using facts to back up their claims. I have seen some Democrats insulting Republicans just because George Bush is a Republican and not using anything better than that to debate with Republicans. It is really sad.

I have not seen an intelligent debate on here for months. All I have seen in recent times are trolls on both sides, rantings, and some of the stupidest insults hurled at the other side.

I dont care if you are liberal or conservative you want to have Government do things or run things or make decisions for US.
My question is... do you trust 'the other guy' to run your program?

Libs. Do you want George Bush to run an anti-global warming program?
Cons: Do you want a Bill Clinton to run well.. you get my point.

FOlks.

Big government is NOT sustainable. It is allied with Big business and together they are Big Brother.

DO you get it?

Liberals.. if you are so desperate for Hillary.. imagine she gets in office... gives herself a TON of new powers and programs.. and THEN the next election it all goes to another GW.

IS that waht you want?

Dont ask for something from government unless you can handle having your worst enemy IN CHARGE OF IT?

does anyone agree in this new slogan.

I think this is what the party has morphed into.

You believe that government should stay out of people's lives but it needs to punish anyone caught having private sex with the "wrong" gender.

You believe that every failed foreign policy issue this country has had since January 22, 2001 (the day Bush was inaugurated) is the direct cause of the Clinton, Carter, Johnson, and Kennedy administration, whereas Reagan, Bush I and of course Bush II have played no part whatsoever in those failures and cannot be blamed in any way.

You believe in prayer in schools, as long as you pray to a Christan God.

You believe that a woman cannot be trusted with decisions about her own body, but that large multinational corporations can make decisions affecting all humanity with no regulation whatsoever.

You believe that pedophilia and alcoholism are evil, unless your a Republican congressman then they are "diseases" that need to be "cured" and the "victim" of the "disease" deserves prayers.

In keeping par with their magnificent wasting of time & tax money to investigate everything the Bush admin. does, could they conjure up some accusations or speculations to justify more senate investigations or hearings? Maybe they could find $90,000 in bribe money in his freezer.
