They bounced something, when it said I had an available balance, THEN charged me fees, which bounced NUMEROUS other transactions, even when I put MORE money in the bank to cover it all.

Isn't it quite a conflict of interest for Al Gore to be profiting from carbon credit trading when he is the one promoting the big global warming hoax?

nowadays people are becoming less compelled to vote for the lesser of the two evils, so maybe you should try something else.

Have you a cause that's worth going to jail for?
Have you participated in actions before?

I don't advocate any such actions, just think they may at times be necessary.

I am 22, mexican girl. I want to marry this guy from the UK, and live there. But I've found out how hard it is to get a VISA (and god damn expensive). What would you recomend, for me to apply for a student VISA or a Settlement VISA? regarding that we don't have money to prove savings or nothing but at least I got my BBA certificate from a well known mexican university. Maybe I can apply for a Masters? Will I be able to become a resident eventually? Or should I just go for the spouse visa? Please someone with experience HELP!

Believe me, I'd hate so sound like some illiterate conservative who trolls the politics section, but I came across this gem, laughed, and wanted to share it.

These are some quotes from Republicans when Clinton deployed troops to Bosnia. The Republicans back then were saying the same thing Democrats are saying today.

There are more if you follow the link.

"You can support the troops but not the president." - Rep Tom Delay (R-TX)

"If we are going to commit American troops, we must be certain they have a clear mission, an achievable goal and an exit strategy." - Karen Hughes, speaking on behalf of George W Bush

Let me guess, 9/11 changed everything? Haha

No seriously, why the change? Why demonize liberals who are saying these things today? The Republicans were "rational" back then right? So why are these things "irrational" today?

from the private sector?

1. Microsoft was started by Bill Gates and crew.
2. Wal Mart, the biggest retailer in the world was started by Sam Walton.
3. Most of the health care improvements come from the US and the private sector.
4. Henry Ford invented the car.
5. Cell phones and technology was created by the private sector.

And on and on and on. What evidence do you have that government involvement works?

I am honestly trying to understand where you are coming from.

If private enterprise creates our progress, what leads you to think government can create progress?

Help! I don't know a lot about leases but I really smell a rat with my landlord. She wants us to sign a new lease and hasn't told us why (we are assuming she lost it). She never even gave us a copy like she said that she would. I am afraid that the new lease won't agree to the previous terms (she is telling me that she doesn't want me to have a pet even though the first lease said that I could). I will not sign this new lease unless it agrees to the terms of the first one that we signed, and I will not pay.

Here is the big what if:
IF I don't sign this new one, will I still be obligated because I signed the first one? Can she all of the sudden "find it" and make me pay the rent even though I do not live there? Is there some kind of form (download-able online) that can nullify the first one that I can tell her to sign?

They can keep any businesses foolish enough to stay there. They can raise taxes to 97%, make smoking illegal, make abortion mandatory, and implement any other ******** social experiment on their own nickel.

How many people on here claim to be a normal liberal/conservative and in turn, post an insulting question? I am a fiscal conservative, but I have seen cooks on both sides. And people, don't deny it, I know many of you DO throw insulting (and at times, stupid) questions back and forth.

The "so called scientists" have determined that eating less meat will reduce global warming. How much more insane can they really get. They now claim that eating less meat will cause the animal population to decrease and therefore reduce the methane gas output from the animals. What's next killing our first born? Oh that's right you liberals are already doing enough of that through abortion. Hey maybe you can apply that toward your carbon credits. LOL!

...familiar territory, that is, in handcuffs and in jail. It was announced that he would get his own cell for his protection. The question I posit to you, would US Rep. William Jefferson (D) be fair in sharing a cell with OJ? Ya know, they could shoot the breeze and reminisce about the good ole days, when OJ was Bills superstar, and WJ getting illegal kickbacks for special favors. Ya know... the typical. Certainly, WJ would offer no sort of threat. Both, I think they both have tons in common, both have committed felonies, but were exonerated. Shoot one even remained a proud US congressman!!!
