I live in Washington state. A few years ago I got a ticket for harrassment. This was in the state of Montana. I never appeared on it but I wrote a letter to the judge and asked to just pay the fine. She said Ihad to appear. I never appeared and now I have an outstanding warrent for my arrest in Montana. What is the worse thing that could happen?

While Bush hinted at resolving the Iran problem over the table I feel he is in talks with Israel in preparation of an attack. What would be the UK's response to such?

Almost 3 years ago I lied in court and won. I told a lot of lies about my ex wife. I won residential custody of our 2 children. They are getting older now and I know my ex wife will tell them the truth. I wish I didn't lie in the first place. If I go back to court and tell them I lied what will happen? Will I have to go to jail?

I dont mean the kind of online betting, I mean like 2 guys that are friends and they place a $1000 bet on a game. Can I be arrested for doing that if cops found out about it? What I mean is like if you and a few of your friends got together in a bar and you each bet $100 on a sporting event. Can you be arrested for that?

Then tell me what you think of that student at UF being told he is being arrested for asking questions. Was he justified in resisting?

Ok If the goverment was to pass federal laws making it a crime for an employer to knowingly hire an illegal immigrant and a crime for a landlord to provide housing to aperson they knew was an illegal immigrant.

Now with this law there would be mandatory fines imposed on anyone violating these laws. Anyone knowingly hiring an illegal would be fined 10k per illegal they are caught hiring. a land lord would be fined 10k also.

By knowingly I mean that they hired/Rented to someone without proof of documentation that the person was here in the united states legally and for the employer with rights to work here.

If these laws were implimented and enforced it would make the benifit of hiring or renting to illegals go away becuase the risk would be too high and if it is true illegals are only here to work then they would have no reason to come becuase then there would be no jobs and no housing.It would take care of the illegal immigant problem. Then we could work on a guest worker pgm

OK, I'm an Athiest, and this is not a bash on religion. This is something that bothers me about our country- and this post has NOTHING to do with minors. In our Constitution it states:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. "

This, to me says that everyone has a right to believe the way they want, and practice those beliefs without interference. Why then, is polygamy illegal, and if a religious sect believes in it, why are they forbode in practicing it- when it is their belief? This does assume that all are of legal age, as again this question has NOTHING to do with minors. It seams everything is OK for a freedom of religion, as long as it is a certain religion. So where really, is the freedom?

BTW- I'm a monogamist, but I still see wrong here.

I'm a Conservative. I find that Liberals tend to only accept facts that fit their paradigm. I see that Liberals feel the same way about conservatives. Clearly we can't both be right (no pun intended) but are we both wrong?

I believe that less government interference is good.
This includes lower taxes. What am I missing?

I believe that we should not apologize for being the most powerful economy, military, industrial complex in the world. Why is that wrong?

I believe we should have kicked Saddam out of Iraq when he first violated the Cease Fire Agreement; regardless of the WMD situation. Am I a bloodthirsty barbarian?

I believe that freedom of religion doesn't mean freedom FROM religion and that it should extend to Christians too! Where is my logic faulty?

Upswing of outsourcing, death of unions, core job loss, deficit spending and rapacious day-trading 1981-88 making America great for the top 2%, but less than sparkling for the masses of men and women. Was Reagan an evil puppet of the monied darkest powers of the far right, or just an ignorant, pleasant, home-spun speach-making buffoon who kept the seat warm until a real leaders returned, or both?

Serious answers only, please. Neocon trolls who rant and curse will be reported promptly for abuse of YAnswers Terms of Service.

Somebody compared liberals to communists. Fair enough. Atleast you picked somebody on the same side of the political spectrum, instead of terrorists (which are right-wing socially conservative religious fundamentalists).

NOW COMPARE WHAT NEO-NAZIS AND KLAN MEMBERS SAY TO WHAT CONS BELIEVE. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS ONE OF DEGREE.

If two groups of people have 2 different ideas of how the economy works best and one is proven wrong much more often then not...

isn't that group's reason for why they were wrong an EXCUSE not an explanation?

Take for example Reaganomics versus Keynesian economics. Historical economic data shows keynesians outperforming supply siders.

In response, cons love to make all these sad excuses. For example they say that under FDR, the economy had nowhere to go but up. Fact is that after the stock market crash of 1929, the economy kept going downhill for FOUR STRAIGHT YEARS. It could have definitely kept tanking for alot longer.

Another EXCUSE they use is well it was all WWII spending. Again, the fact is the economy grew by 88.14% from 32' to 41' (WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE WWII). No other president saw that kind of growth. Not even close.

I was born in Australia in 1985 so I automatically have Australian citizenship. However, my mum is a UK citizen with only permanent residency in Australia - not Australian citizenship. She came to Australia with her parents (both UK citizens) at the age of 9 back in the 1950s. She has lived here ever since.

I know that I should be able to get UK citizenship because of this connection, but I am not sure how to go about doing it.

What are the web addresses I should visit?

I want my UK citizenship because I'm in my final year of university studying to be a teacher. I know there is a shortage of teachers in the UK, particularly in inner London (though I'm happy to go anywhere theres a need). I may wait a year or two to get some experience in teaching before I go overseas. However, I want to go to the UK to visit my cousins within the next year, and because I would be applying for citizenship later anyway, I may as well do it now rather than messing around with visas.
