You can see how well this coujntry will care for its own, when they will bail out foreign owned finacial institutions, rebuild other countries,and even give foreigners entering our country more benefits than they do it;s own tax paying citizens, and they get the money from you and me every payday. are we that selfish of a nation?

I have a 14 yo foster daughter. One night she had friends over - I went to bed around 11 but when I got up at 6am they were still here. I got angry and I threw them out.

They evidently hit my neighbor's car when they were leaving (neighbors called policee to take report - police questioned me & my kid and that was it. I don't know anything about the boys nor does my kid. So it's not like we can find them.

Am I responsible? The neighbors have approached me for the $500 deductible.

I am inclined to pay them the money and tell them to stay away from me & mine for the duration of their tenancy. (I own my home, they rent next door.) It pisses me off that they left a handwritten note on my front door to say they needed the names & any other info or they will have to go about it the "legal way" - my initial reaction was "So sue me, dummy!" But I'm trying to be grown-up and fair - besides I don't need the $ as much as they obviously do - or they would have come to me face-to-face!

They get central air, cable and more than many working people. I think many are too "coddled". What do you think?

Shouldn't majority rule. so if you live in a less populated state your vote doesn't count as much with the electoral system.

With recent tragic events, there used to be a saying "crime does not pay" now it seems it is the only thing that does. What are your views on how to get us back to a relatively lawful society?

Say motorist Smith hit a pedestrian in the state of New Jersey and then fled the scene of the crime.

If by the time the 'victim' was discharged from the hospital and able to file the complaint against Smith (a New York state resident) he left the country. It checks out that he will not be returning anytime soon.

So there is nothing that can be done, correct? The uninsured victim pays out of pocket for the injuries incurred to self...and the motorist gets off.

I want a second opinion, but this is what I heard.
Please be specific.

The USA gives more to other nations than anyone, this is done at the expense of it's own citizens who give freely. Why do so many argue that we owe them like the illegal aliens? When so much is given to their home countries in aid?

I got pulled over 2 nights ago for rolling through a stop sign. Cop approached my window like he was going to draw his gun. long story short he asked be to get out of the car and handcuffed me & told me that I had a warrant out for my arrest in a different state. The warrant also said that this person had violent tendencies and that i possibly possessed a weapon. After 20 mins the cop confirmed my first name and social was totally different. He actually let me go thinking it was my problem to deal with and that it could happen again if i get pulled over. If I get pulled over again I could very well get tackled to the ground and have to explain in a calm voice that they have the wrong guy and possibly brought in until the cop figures out that their computer system is still running on windows 98. After talking to six different department I'm still at square one. They all tell me not to get pulled over until the actual criminal is caught. Is my only option to feel like a criminal now?

Do these dolts get the fact that it's not about party, but rather about intregity?

It really sucks that their votes count as much as an informed citizen. Guess what, Democrats - you don't have to vote for Hillary just because you're a left winger. And guess what, Republicans - you don't have to pick Rudy just because you're a right winger.

Grow a brain if you want to vote. You are an embarrassment to America.
