let's say you still live at home with your folks and have a job and it's a pain in the tail. you have to go to bed and get up earlier than you want and fight the rush hour traffic every morning only to arrive at your miserable job that you have to put 8-10 hrs a day at and your reward from your bosses is to be constantly b1tched out about your mistakes.

your brother, however, doesn't do anything. he parties all night, sleeps all day and makes no effort to better himself or his situation. when you get your paycheck, your parents cash it at the bank and give half your earnings to your brother.

would you be happy with that? if you say yes, you're a liar.

"Washington DC – An abundance of new peer-reviewed studies, analysis, and data error discoveries in the last several months has prompted scientists to declare that fear of catastrophic man-made global warming “bites the dust” and the scientific underpinnings for alarm may be “falling apart.” The latest study to cast doubt on climate fears finds that even a doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide would not have the previously predicted dire impacts on global temperatures. This new study is not unique, as a host of recent peer-reviewed studies have cast a chill on global warming fears."

I have asked the question about pedifilia. I have received two answers defending the criminal act. American's do not really believe in an absolute death penality because it differs from state to state and usually takes years to execute. Saddam Hussien was tried and executed rather fast by our standards.
Death penalty only applies when rehab is not an option. There soud be no rehab loophole in sex crimes. If you do it and get caught you are immediatly executed.

So all you anti's want mass deportation right??
Heres the thing, the leaders in the presidential race don't really talk about mass deportation. They talk about securing our borders and "enforcing" the current immigration laws.
In reallity heres what they want. They want to get elected, "secure" our borders and eventually give amnesty. WHy don't you guys see that...they know mass deportation WILL NOT WORK.. . . .
i have yet to hear a candidate say they want mass deportation and by the year 2012 i predict we will have had amnesty and not mass deportation. . . .and by the way, lou dobbs will probably have a heart attack when this happens lol. . . .

If I were to be caught cheating on an exam and then afterwards were to "pummel" the snitch to the ground, incl if it were a professor, could I plead "insanity" in the heat of the moment? What is the normal jail term for pummeling someone to the ground over this? I may consider doing it, as it would be a good rewarding feeling...well worth 2 or 3 weeks in the slammer to see him sucker-punched in the mounth. Is it worth it?

I didn't get to watch it. Did it address all the real unanswered questions of 9/11 like why did the FBI secretly released about 100 Israeli spies caught in a dragnet right after 9/11 without being questioned?

Or why the BBC and CNN reported that WTC 7 fell when it was still standing?

I was curious to know what you thought of the documentary whether you think 9/11 was an inside job or not.

do democrats really help get people on their feet or do they just give handouts to reduce the poverty statistics? poverty among native born individuals shouldnt increase once you get rid of certain programs. if people were really back on their feet with an education and a career, then they would no longer need programs. the jobs market in america is not as bad as zimbabwe as many liberals try to make it seem, with endless comparisons to countries with smaller populations who receive less refugees and less immigrants per annum. not to mention their tireless effort to try to interpret european unemployment figures and compare them to US unemployment figures. sure, norway has low unemployment with its oil money and low population. so does switzerland with its banking and low population.
teach people to work and not to victimize themselves.

my partner and i live together, we have two children but are not married. the mortgage is in his name, simply because i have bad credit from debts when i was younger, and having me on the mortgage would've upped the payments as we'd have been high risk. i put 30k down into the house, and so we have something written up to say i'm owed that after the sale of the house. but what i'm concerned about, is the fact it looks like we're about to split up, but he will be leaving the house, and i'll be paying the bills and half the mortgage (at the moment he pays everything, but i don't want to up-root the kids by selling the house, so will be getting a job so i can stay here), so i want myself added to the deeds, but am not even sure if this is possible and whether it would affect the existing mortgage in anyway.

it seems odd that i could stay here and pay my way and deal with improving the house etc, yet it's technically his house

There are many unanswered questions. A great wrong was committed. A huge crime. Justice demands that we show beyond a reasonable doubt what happened and who was involved at every level. I don't know exactly what happened, but I think we should want to know. But why are those who believe the gov't version sooo adamant that that version must be accepted? That anyone who doesn't is crazy. Why are they soo anxious to go along with the official account. They offer little evidence and no proof to convince me that the planes alone caused the collapse of the WTC towers while others, dozens of reasonable, sober, relevant professions, offer evidence to the contrary. The gov't offers no proof that an airliner hit the Pentagon....but something did.

You are an employee who has just discovered that an e-mail message you thought you sent to your close friend at work was sent to an entire department. In this message you disclose the fact that you believe your boss is having an extramarital affair with someone else at the company. If your boss find out, can she fire you for sending the message? Dose it matter whether your news is true?

The illegal Mexicans claim they have more of a right to be here because they and the Native American Indians were here first and we came and stole the land from the Native American Indians
Did not the Mexicans decend from the rape and pillage of the Native tribes who were here before them?
Didn't the Spanish actually come here first and show our ancestors how to not just steal the land as we did, but wipe out entire civilizations?
I thought that while our ancestors wer tricking, fighting, and yes killing the Natives, their ancestors were useing them as slaves and exterminating them other than the ones they kept and bred with.
Didn't the Natives actually fight them as hard as they did us even after the Pure-blood Spanish left?
Shouldn't the Mexican decendents of these attrocities hide their heads in shame rather than make false claims against us?
Is this distortion of the fact dues to their cultural machismo and just a by-product of the fact that they are worthless leeches?

Lots of liberals blame things like high crime and lack of father's in inner city communities on racism, a lack of money and things of that nature.

So I ask, do these things make one say "hey, i am broke and I have five kids that I can't even feed. Let me joing a gang, kill a bunch of people and disrespect everyone I come acrosss?"

Why do we tolerate these sordid behavior from people just because they are underprivileged.

Money can't buy you tact.

We bought our house from my in-laws who have now lived in various parts of Louisiana for around 7 years now, (we are in Mississippi) and have not bothered to change their address. So, that means we get all his dad's credit card offers (and settlement offers, ugh) and his moms crazy stuff, and a lot of stuff they actually need in addition to the junk mail, and they expect us to mail it all down to them every few weeks. Its expensive and a real pain...

So, if I am able to convince them to FINALLY go register their new address with the post office, will they take care of getting the mail to them, or am I cursed with their junk mail forever (or until we move!)? Thanks!

i remember seeing a car chase on cnn headline news or msnbc where they were following a silver sedan and lost it on the highway for about 20 mins because there were similar makes out there, but i do think they got the license plate, if they didnt could someone get away like that? especially if they planned it out to have decoys around that area at the predetermined time? of course thats not too realistic considering most police chases tend to happen after an unintentional hit and run but what do you think how often do people get away,

they also mentioned people on motorcycles have a better shot because of the manueverability and of course the size, but not too many hit and runs with motorcycles i guess

I was watching the news, and this illegal alien who was being interviewed claimed that our immigration law was broken. She asked why would we enforce a law that we knew was broken.

I think there might be a problem in communicating to the illegals what exactly is going on here. When the law says not to do something and you do it anyway, that is something we call "breaking the law". The law was "broken" by you because you did not obey it. When we say the law has been broken, we are not claiming or even implying that there is a problem with our laws. The only problem is that you are ignoring our laws and publicly claiming it is your right to disobey our laws. THAT is the problem.

Does anyone else think part of the problem may have to do with a misunderstanding of what "breaking the law" actually means?
