My 19 year old daughter wants to help out her female friend, who is an foreigner in our country, (USA), by going to Venice and marrying her friends' fiance in order to give him american citizenship. The plan is to divorce him here so he can then marry his real fiance. My daughter is a caucasian american, her friend and her fiance are Iranian.
I am worried it might be illegal and it feels ethically wrong.
My daughter thinks she is doing the right thing. What should I advise her to do? If she will even listen...

The proper republicans not the bible bashing, flag waveing, bush lovers or the democrates who retch at the thought of bush.

I purchased a GE refrigerator through Home Depot, which we have had numerous problems with (see my other questions). The Home Depot has a feature that says review a product if you own it. I have attempted several times to post a review on this refrigerator model (a negative review to be sure but not vulgar in anyway!!) to warn fellow consumers. But no matter how many times I try to submit my review (over several weeks) the Home Depot's website still says - "No reviews, be the first to review this product." This is certainly dishonest , but is it actually false advertising - in that they HAVE recieved reviews?

He does. Remember when we used to call people who heard God's voice crazy, now we call them Mr. President.

Doesn't this make him a religious zealot? He started a war because he believes God told him to....

OK. So I thought Pentagon employees were relatively smart. How in the HELL do they not catch this sooner. I mean, you would think their computer databases would flag a million dollar shipping charge...lol.

Here is my issue:

I live in an apartment community in Columbus, Ohio. There are two parking garages and additional private street parking. Residents are required to park in one of the three areas (garage 1, 2, or street) or they will be towed. There are also visitor spots in each garage (entire top floor) and on the street; all are marking with "Visitor" on them. I was towed for parking in a visitor spot in my garage because all resident parking was full. The apartment mgmt GM states that they cannot give assigned parking out of fear that there will not be enough spaces - they gave out more resident passes than open resident spaces - and residents are not allowed to use Visitors parking as overflow.

The community advertised "private garage parking with opener". The opener doesnt work, and I cannot see why it would be private if visitors can park there. Instead of being towed and paying $100 each time, can i cite them for breach of contract to get out of my lease legally?

admit fears and be vulnerable, to balance out the 24/7 machismo they need to survive? Would that be a helpful outlet to help prevent so much post traumatic stress disorder?

Suppose someone served two terms as President. We know he then cannot run again consecutively. HOWEVER, say 8 years down the line, could he then be allowed to serve another term as President?

Over the past year I have read many questions from people on Yahoo regarding the Freedom of Speech. My question to you is - does the 1st amendment also protect the right to offend people with your speech?

In today's politically correct culture if you make the statement that "illegal immigrants need to go home", you are considered a racist. How is that being a racist? Isn't that advocating that people living in this country illegally must go home and come back legally?

Political correctness has gone too far in the United States. The liberal groups are pushing for the "fairness doctrine", San Fransicko is trying to get a talk show host fired over his comments, etc.

If we have freedom of speech in the USA, doesn't that include the right to be politically incorrect or even "hate" speech? If you don't like it, can't you just tune it out?

Think into the future. What possible + and -'s do you see to the idea. They are already talking about having them be autonomous. Should we let independent machines have the ability to take human life? Or should that be the responsibility of another human? It should be a very serious thing right? It seems that robotic soldiers would cheapen the value of human life.

Would watching a movie like Braveheart and feeling sympathetic towards a brave character like William Wallace be ok? Or does that mean you support terrorism :)

You never know in these crazy, circus times what is allowed and harmless and what is terrible and vengeful. Seems these days folks are clutching at straws to find something to pin on innocents :)
So should we only be on the safe side and just watch cartoons?

Why is it that americans or anyone belive that a war will happen over night? I do not know why they think this because wars last years, but they still think that. They get all fired up when something like 9/11 happens and say yeah go kill em', but after awhile they decide oh i do not want to like the war anymore it is taking too long. There are people there dying every day and when they look on the news they are not discribed as heroes but as killers trying to steal oil. I have family in the military i have friends and relatives that have been in Iraq, and I know we want them out of harms way but they are doing good over there they are helping a country form. The soldiers in my family and my friends think what they are doing is good so I support them all the way like everyone should. I know we all have our own opions ,but people are dying for something we should welcome them home not spit in their faces and call them killers....that disgusts me.
