Now they tell me they are going to charge me for assault. It's not like I hit them or anything and I wasn't feeling good. I can't get charged can I?

I figured since food stamps won't pay for toothpaste they might use it for that.

I find that the term "undocumented workers " suger coats
the fact that these people are here illegally and breaking
laws of the USA.

Below are links to the news stories I referred to yesterday when answering questions on Illegal Immigration. I'd like to read peoples thoughts on these stories; especially those who are for illegal immigration. Will these stories change your mind? Why or why not?

Link to Wikipedia article about Mexico's Illegal Immigrants (can someone provide me with a news article on this?) -

I am aware of the hardships these people go through. I've seen it myself. But it's a slap in the face to my parents, who had their own hardships yet still came here legally, when someone comes here illegally.

North American Union and the Amero....what would you do?

would you give it a chance? If it was to become the most powerul and military oriented Union in the world? If it was to assure you to earn the strongest currency in the world again and have the strongest army, the strongest market, secure borders.....would you give it a chance? If it was to assureyou more land for the people ( northern Canda ) and fuel for energy and a workforce for the low wage jobs and soldiers for the army ( Mexican raw materials and Mexicans) , and if it were to have the economic growth of India and China would you think about it? would you give it a chance?

I would like to know why all of a sudden products from China are dangerous for us? We've been importing products from them for years and nobody ever said anything before. But recently they've been recalling products for poison, lead, and other reasons. What about the products that were imported in the 70's, 80's & 90's, were they toxic for us too?

Please don't misconstrue this as defending racism. On the contrary. I deplore racism. That is the entire reason I'm questioning this.

If a person hates police officers, and kills a police officer, it's a crime.

If a person hates black people, and kills a black police officer, it's a hate crime with a tougher penalty.

Both are crimes of hate, and in both cases, a person is murdered. Why is one given a harsher sentence than the other?

If I hate taxes and I go into the tax collectors office and murder someone, is this not a hate crime? If I hate my mother in law and I murder her, is this not a hate crime? If I hate my college professor and murder him, is this not a hate crime?

The motivation for a crime should only matter if the incident was accidental or deliberate. The precise motivation, be it racism, sexism, nationalism, or religious hatred, should NOT matter. Racists are cut from the same cloth as any other hate group.

h a religious/creed organization? In other words, if you are the hiring authority, doing the hiring of workers or choosing status of potential hires, and if you and Joe Schmoe have a religiously tied relationship on the outside, ie, belong to the same creed social engine, whether it be the Masons or Catholics or Kof C or what have you, he would be eliminated from being eligible to be hired by you or you would have to recuse yourself from that capacity as a hiring agent?

Could this have some affect on the religiously intentional or otherwise, discriminational hiring that goes on in our work places?

security?

The reason why I said imagined is because if you LOOK at the facts the federal government is not trying to protect us from "terrorists" or they would make dam sure the border was closed. But what they DO seem to be doing is putting us in a constant police state where US citizens are under constant surveillance which is getting stronger all the time.

My apologies to you if your basic training was hard.

However, mine was not.

I went to basic training at Ft. Jackson, South Carolina in 2003. I went there fully expecting it was going to be like "Full Metal Jacket." Boy, was I mistaken.

The drill sergeants barely yelled that much. They never played the mind games I'd heard about. Our smoke sessions were incredibly short. Even the training itself was ridiculously easy.

I've never been a real tough guy, and it was still incredibly easy.

We went through AIT with some Marines. It was embarrasing even trying to talk about "Relaxin Jackson" after hearing their stories about Parris Island and San Diego. Or when I talked with people who went through basic training in the 70's and the 80's.

Our local county jail has a volunteer Chaplain who spends greater than 40 hours a week ministering to 160 prisoners. He eats free meals while there but is not compensated any other way. Would someone offer ideas as to how he may get some pay. Chaplains typically make an anual salary of $40K. The county has no funding available for a chaplain but everyone readily admits the jail must have one.
