Or if its not illegal can you get in trouble for it? Wouldn't it be a part of your 1st amendment rights?

There's the proof. Bush does not represent the American citizen, only a small minority. The gap between the two Americas gets bigger. The poor, get poorer. The middle class shrinks even more. Corporate America and it's greed swells even more.

I was recently pulled over for loud music and was written a ticket. I do agree, the music was loud and it was 2:30 in the morning... but what I want to know is how much tickets such as these usually cost? Under the description on the ticket the officer wrote, " 27007 CVC - Loud Music (50 ft)". I got the ticket in the mail and had to pay $159. Does anyone else think that is a ridiculous price to pay for an offense like that?!

My husband rearended a lady going about 15 mph. We agreed to fix the ladies bumper and the body shop estimated $800. She has came up with 2 new problems that the body shop do not see as "our" problem it was just normal wear and tare on her vehicle seeing its a 95. So, she called me today saying something else was wrong and then she started yelling at me and i told her would could settle it with a lawyer since she would not let me speak. I was calm and rational with her. Then, i hung up not wanting things to get worse. She called my husbands work today and told them that it happened and he can possibly loose his job since they did not report it since it was a company truck. If he looses his job we make them pay for the repairs. Any one have any thing that may help save his job??

My name is Rudy, and I'm an immigrant from nicaragua. I came to this great country because my mother needed a kidnee transplant or she would die. This country took us in asking nothing in return. my mother had a second chance at life.I earned my citizenship and my mother as well. I'm currently 17 years old and a senior in high school. This country has given me more than any other could, Education, Health, and my mother's life. This is a debt I can never repay, but I seek to be as useful to this country as possible. At 15 i saw that telecommunications is a field that is always in demand in the military. I have taken INT courses at bloomfield college and I am also CCNA certified and im a district champion of Networking Concepts.I'm also varsity 119 for my HS wrestling team. Now the real question is, should i continue my education so i can serve this country with greater skill after college or should I join to serve immediately now that my country needs me

This is a guy I sit next to in college.He told me the other day how he kicks his small dog .He sent me the following on our college website.

Hey,
I really don't understand what your problem is with me. The only thing I have done for you since you came this semester and I came was made you feel like you could have a friend in me. I didn't really know what to expect from you but I deffinatly did not expect this. The way you are acting is very childish and immature. If all you care about is telling nasty rumors about people then perhaps you should go back to a highschool environment. I am nearly 20 years old and do not have the time to waste on such idiocy as you telling a guy to come and talk to me about the importance of not "abusing" animals. (Which may I remind you I don't do in the first place). I should have known not to trust you. I am not a person you want to cross Cami, if you don't like me that's fine, sit far away from me in class and DONT TALK TO ME! But don't stand there like an immature little school girl and go and tell rumors about me.. Stuff about me you don't have any clue about. If your "friend" comes up to me again I will be the one taking out harrassment charges on you and him. There are better ways we can solve this other then "OH I'm going to get a boyfriend and have him come say something to Kent" Thats too childish and it needs to stop IMMEDIATLY. I have many friends in this school and you don't want to cross me. As I've said... if you don't like me sit far away from me and don't talk to me... don't even look at me... I could really give a crap less what you think of me honestly.... just know you can't afford another harrassment charge against you. Thanks alot for being a good friend.

I'm not sure wether this is prostitution or not.

I'm a junior in highschool and today at lunch a freshman near the section i sat at was asking for money for his services. When he came up to my lunch table, he ask he'll eat anything out of the ordinary for a dollar or more. Anything out of the ordinary for him is chips with juice and cheese, pizza with paper and other stuff or the worst of all milk with spit and some other crap.

So i'm wondering would that be considered prostitution or will it be considered something else because i'm going to report it to the ***. principle because it really wasn't a right thing to do.

I would like to know where liberal-minded people draw their own personal 'lines in the sand' . I've seen the boisterous claims of the left that they'd rather die than give-up their rights . But would they ? How about the right ?

Is there a difference depending on whether you're a Christian or not ?

And then I wonder specifically what atheists would say ? They believe they're done when they die so when it's over it's over . So where do they stand and where do they draw their inspiration ?



Really now -- Where is your line in the sand ?

Me ? - Not sure entirely except to say that I'd go much further than now and one deal-breaker would be if I has to disavow the Lord Jesus Christ . . . . . THAT , I will not do .

Thank you .

My mom thinks that if my sons father dies that my son will get a LOT of social security money a month - like between $3000 - $7000 a month. I live in Michigan, my son is only 3. His dad is not in his life much but paternity has been established and there is a court order giving me sole physical and legal custody. How do they determine if the child receives social security and how do they determine how much???

Thanks in advance!

I read time and time again about the muslims and middle eastern folk hating americans because of the freedoms they have....

The only freedoms you have is what is allowed you by the government, you citizens are treated like kids, can't do this, can't do that....you can't even see a pair of titties on the television unless you pay extra for cable, you can't drink alcohol in a car even as a passenger, you have to be 21 yrs to drink legally but you can be sent to war to die for your country at 18yrs, you can buy a gun from walmart with a permit and go shoot someone, but you can't find a playboy magazine there for love nor money, you are charged a fortune for your healthcare because the government simply doesn't care about the average citizen.....unlike England or Canada or France where they actually care about their people.

STOP BITCHING ABOUT THE MILITARY DEFENDING YOUR FREEDOMS THAT YOU DON'T HAVE!!!!

Hi, I have a friend the USCIS alleged to have committed fraud in getting her greencard 5 years ago. She was under derivative from her US citizen mom.

The rule said, while the application is pending, she is to remain unmarried. She did. She only filed for marriage license when her boyfriend was ready for marriage, 2 months after her green card was approved.

Incidentally, she has 2 children while her application was pending but never legally married.

While staying in Indonesia, her ID card and family card were erroneously printed as married. She has obtained the record from the civil office in Indonesia stating that she has never been married.

Indonesia does not recognize common law marriage, nor California where she has been residing.

On the Notice to Appear for removal proceeding, it says that the allegation was that she claimed she was single, when in fact she was married. Does USCIS has legal grounds for the allegation? She is distressed.

is a disturbing aspect of our soldiers life in active duty? Are you as disgusted as I am? I have been married to an US AF MGST. My deceased husband served two tours in Vietnam and Korea. I wonder how much disrespect our soldiers are receiving. I think it's down right un deserving and disrespect full. I feel they are under payed and deserve better to be able to provide for their families. What do you all think about this?

and of course they see you and go the speed limit on a 2 lane road do you ever wat to shout "speed up a little bit!"

Or wish they would at least go 5-10 miles over the speed limit? Especially if you're on the way home and not on duty?

If I were one I think it would frustrate me to death.

How can a police agency set up a safety checkpoint and stop all vehicles that happen to be passing through that area?

The US Constitution protects Americans from unlawful search, and a recent Supreme Court decision held that a person walking down the street does not have to tell the police his or her name as long as they are not reasonably suspected of something.

So how does it follow that a governmental agency, being the police force, can stop a lawfully travelling vehicle at a random checkpoint, witout any cause or suspicion?

I believe the Supreme Court has decided that these checkpoints are legal, but I would like to know in layman's terms how being stopped by law enforcement when a person has committed no crime and is not reasonably suspected of anything can be legal?

Please don't tell me it is legal because the SCOTUS has ruled on it. The Supreme Court has been wrong countless times in US history... I want to know how the SCOTUS determined the legality in these cases.

What's repetitive about most presidential candidates is there detachment from what you would call a "normal" life. How can a man with multiple homes including a compound in North Carolina totaling over 28,000 square feet tell anyone to conserve energy in their home? (Watch Edwards' answer to Bill Maher's question on the Democratic Candidate Mashup.) No candidate will walk the walk. The only moral values these people have are based on polling statistics.
