Do you see it as a great scourge and all who use it should be imprisoned, is it a "gateway drug"(btw, all drugs are gateway drugs, including alcohol). Or is it a harmless plant which can be detrimental when abused?
Just want to see if your facts are straight here or you just react to rhetoric.

Considering India IS IT true that many people break some laws in their life time perhaps which are small or of less severe nature ; for example: Traffic laws , Trespass, Bribery , Cyber laws, Disrespect of national anthem or flag, Cheating ,Copying in exams, Small theft, Defamation ,Electricity theft, Teasing or Molesting females,Child labour & Child marriage in rural places ........
knowingly or negligently or because of unawareness or circumstances and remain unnoticed ,uncomplained & unharmed????
IF yes; what do u think ; how many people of that kind are there in India?
IF yes; what are reasons behind it?

it seems like half of what they believe in would have negative effect on the economy:
-"state-run" environmentalism, the kyoto protocol would have done more damage than jimmy carter, and who knows what else they'll propose with a democrat president. we'll probably have to quit eating bread or some stupid sh*t. maybe we'll have to eat sh*t.

-higher taxes, discouraging investment, foreign and domestic. only the rich of the rich will invest, everyone else will look elsewhere to make money.
-state regulation of industries, its a proven fact that regulating the hell out of a business is inefficient, which is why even China is steadily deregulating.
-gas taxes(from edwards), at a time when gas prices are already high.

the iraq war would have no significant effect on the economy compared to what I listed above, and cutting and running wont fix anything overnight. even now, mortgage problems are causing more damage than the war. free trade sustains our 4.5% unemployment.

I overheard my wife's friend say that Hillary Clinton has done great things as Senator for New York, but couldn't expound on it. I live in New York and am not aware of any "great" things, but I have an open mind and would like to know what great things she has done.

Anymore elections are to much like popularity contests and not enough focus is given to getting honest answers to the tough questions. (This applies to both parties by the way)

How did this symbol come to be their fighting symbol and do you think the Russians fear such a fighter that wears such a symbol, when engaged in vicious combat with them?

What are your personal views regarding this symbol?

I would like to hear comments from those individuals who are from Chechnya and are now living in other countries.

Thank you in advance.

Warren was one of the greats. He gave to his cronies till it hurt, much like our current giant of a president. Just think what Halliburton could have done with the Teapot Dome oil reserves.

We all know that Terror is a concept, right? An emotion, generated in different people by different stimuli. That being so, how can you have a war on it? Some people are terrified of heights - will we only win the war on terror once everywhere's flattened? Some people, bless 'em, are terrified of buttons. Are we looking at mandatory zippers before the war on terror can be said to be won?

Please don't just say 'because the country is ruled by The Communist Party of China'. I'm looking for specifics. How does life in a 'communist' country such as China differ from life in non-communist countries?

...the way they do with Bush without being accused of racism? Will Al Sharpton & the NAACP stage protests & call those who oppose him racist bigots? Will it entice another civil war?

I had an accident at work over a month ago which resulted in putting my back out and being off work for a month. A length of time they were not happy with.

While off I never signed the accident book and the information was put in via HR. I went for a return to work interview after being told I could go back to work, at which time my contract (as I was on probation) was terminated. I still wasn't given the chance to sign the book.

I have tried to get in touch with my previous employer regarding signing it, but they haven't returned my calls. Do I have to sign it in order to make a claim even if it is a few years down the line. Or will what HR put in the book be enough.

I am quite confused on how it all works.

Thanks

Do you think in his anger and fury at having to pull troops out of Iraq & Afganistan in defeat, that George W will press the button and to hell with it?

Not having the capability to make weapons, airplanes, bombs, guns, etc., would that encourage us to have to live peacefully, how could you take over anyone without weapons?
How could we be able to fight far away countries, if we did not have the capability to go there nor use weapons? What kind of primitive kind of life would we have with our hi tech minds?

Is there any military spouses out there who has had to adjust to this type of change that can give me some advice on how to accomplish my goal as an LPN to RN if I have to transition to another state. Is it possible?
