Mr. Beck went to David Jones and grabbed a sweater which costs $99. However, when he wants to pay for it at the counter, the cashier said that the actual price of the sweater is $199, and said there could be some typographical error, which caused the price tag attached to the sweater to be marked $99. In addition, the sweater was the last available stock in the retail store. Can Mr. Beck insists that he wants to buy the sweater at a price of $99 rather than $199? Does David Jones/the cashier have the right not to sell to Mr. Beck? Why and why not?

Cancer survival rates in Britain are among the lowest in Europe, according to the most comprehensive analysis of the issue yet produced. England is on a par with Poland despite the NHS spending three times more on health care. (snip)Cancer experts blamed late diagnosis and long waiting lists.

I was just curious as to why some people don't become U.S. citizens and still have a green card even after many decades here. My friend's dad came from Germany at age 10 and he is now 48 and he says he doesn't want to become a US citizen because it would be like denying his roots. Do you know anyone like this? How old were they when they came and how old are they now? By the way I came here when I was 3 and I'm 30 now. I never gave it much thought to become a naturalized citizen because I've always considered myself American but I plan on doing it so I can vote.

Are the Christian conservative Republicans who think it's OK for 50,000,000 Americans to go without health care acting in a manner consistent with Jesus' teaching? Doesn't Old Testament law and Jesus' teaching say we should be helping the poor? What about children?

This would be from the colonial era. I'm thinking no because there was the house of burgesses in Virginia.

this is an excerpt from a multiple choice question, but im unsure because another answer is: many colonial governors ruled with autocratic powers. I'm not sure if that is true orfalse either. its definately between those two though.

I am a mom of a seventeen year old girl, I got divorced in 1993 when she was only three years old. Her father was ordered to pay $142.00 a week to us. He was great at his obligations to his child untill she got to be 10 years of age. At time he remarried and stopped paying the support order. I have tried with out any success for seven years to collect monies owed. He currently owes fifty-two thousand three hundred and twenty-two dollars in back pay. I hear all these stories of the moms taking the dad to the cleaners, let me tell you how it has been for me, I took him to court the first time and he lied to the courts and told them he pre-payed me, they told me it was my duty to prove that he did not pay not him that has to prove he paid and was told to come back, then I had him served twice and he was a no show, and they told me I served him wrong, I tried a support agency for two years, still nothing. we go back to court this week, Im hoping that the system does not fail me again.

Seems to me it should. Its patently obvious which ethnic communities fit in and which dont. Im generalising of course, but i think you have to.

Generally speaking Polish, Czechs, Mid Eastern christians, Jews, Chinese and non muslim Indians fit in to the UK fairly well, ie respect for the native culture, integration and assimilation, respect for the law, loyalty to the UK, employment etc.....whereas Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Afro-Carribeans, Somalis, Afghans, Kurds, Albanians do not fit in so well, they are less likely to assimilate and integrate, less likely to have a job, have a higher percentage involved in crime and in the prison system etc.

Surely also, people who are ethnically of British origin, ie people living in USA, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Zimbabwe etc should surely have more right to enter UK than a bangladeshi, or even an Assyrian (like myself!).

It seems if the UK accepted immigrants based on their culture, religion, ethnicity etc Britain would be better off?

This week over a million Shiites are expected to converge on Karbala, from all over Islam, to celebrate the Hidden Imam. I'm no expert, but I don't believe that all of those people will have the best intentions in mind. So how can our military be expected to secure a country, that is in the middle of a religious war, and still allowing hundreds of thousands of foreigners to enter?

Ever since the iron curtain fell, criminals have been pouring out of the countries of the former soviet union, to plunder and infect the rest of the world with their criminal minds and conduct. Theft, scams, and every illegal method of cheating and robbing is a way of life for them, the word is out all over Russia that when stores close in America, there is still stuff on the store shelves that has not been sold or shoplifted. This is an incredible thing for anyone in Russia to believe, and the petty thief element has seized on that rumor and, (500,000 to date), have come to the USA to steal or grab whatever they can get

In the old soviet union, the word and the way was, to cheat the government; there was no private industry to cheat, so they cheated the state. It has become engrained in their mentality and thought. This mentality to cheat the government, they carry to the rest of the world. Tax fraud ,welfare and healthcare fraud are the passwords to riches for them here in America.

The particulars of the methods used:

1. SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS
The social security law provides for benefits to a married couple entitled by right to social security. However, if the couple divorces, each gets individually the same amount the two of them got together, or almost that sum. So the scheme is to go thru a divorce case, get a divorce judgment, pretend to live apart but actually continue on, collecting double what they had before. They get separate addresses, but one of them gives a false address where other Russians live, gets his or her social security check there, and goes on living with his “former” spouse.

2. MEDICARE BENEFITS
Russian-Ukranian immigrants are particularly adept at this scheme. They set up medical clinics, and put in them one licensed doctor, but the rest are all Russian or Ukranian doctors who are unlicensed in the USA. The clinics are super fraud schemes – all their patients are immigrants from the former soviet union – so that the scheme is protected from outside introspection. How it works? False claims for these persons for medical benefits allegedly provided are submitted. The social security administration tries to verify if these services were really rendered and they face a language barrier and a fear barrier. The language barrier is obvious – these older people cant speak English. The fear barrier is much less apparent – these people are inculcated with the sense that the government is a punishing force, having lived thru it during the soviet years. Consequently, they shut up when approached by any investigator, and spread the word to the clinic operators. These people know the scheme as well as the Russians operating the clinic. Its phony services to people who wont talk and wouldn’t talk even if they could talk. Millions are raked in all over the US as the word has spread that this is an untouchable scheme. They’re right, it is. The old people who go to these clinics wouldn’t talk if they could speak English.

3. PHONY DISABILITY BENEFITS

The word is out all over the former soviet union, that in America, all you have to do is claim you are unable to work and the government supports you and gives you free medical care. This attracts the parasite class, whose main ambition is to live off of what others provide them and the prostitution clique of the old soviet union – women with no scruples, the type whose underhanded life style plagues the innocent. These scam artists get phony medical certificates in Russia from corrupted doctors, don’t show them when they apply for visas to come here, but on arrival go to the social security administration, show the documents and claim disability benefits under the social security system. They bring with them whatever pills are needed to create the symptoms of the condition if they are examined by American doctors, and a hundred thousand are claiming they have heart disease and getting free medical care and benefits by showing bad heart beat arrhythmias, when they apply and get away with it. All thru pills they know cause heart beat irregularities or other symptoms of conditions that will lead an examining doctor to conclude the disabling condition really exists.

4.SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS TO DECEASED PERSONS

When one of them dies, they bury the body secretly in some isolated area, and keep collecting social security benefits, and let some other illegal immigrant use the medical card of the deceased person and take the deceased’s person name, benefits and place. The death is not reported to local authorities or to anyone else. They find some person of the same age and gender to acquire the identity of the deceased person and keep collecting the benefits, while still another person adopts and uses the deceased person’s medical card. If investigators come around to check up, and the scheme participants are contacted, the story is that they don’t know the person, or the person moved away, or the person is in Russia on a trip and they know nothing more. This scheme usually succeeds until the deceased person, had they really been still alive, would be in his or her late 80s. Since all the persons in on the scheme are closely knit, usually the relatives of the deceased, breaking into it is impossible.


Real sweet and gentle folks these Russians and ukranians, aren’t they?

Liberals at their core have no sense of true north. They can't determine right from wrong, good from evil, and in this case even help from hurt. Worse yet - they don't care. The hardness of their hearts towards the victim is not only apparent in their actions, but the mockery of their words adds insult to injury.

Hence why Geraldo Rivera would defend the concealing of an illegal alien's identity from the feds - even though he had been indicted on 31 counts of child rape, before executing three college kids in Newark this summer.
