What is the present US arms and military forces in S.Korea ?
Why, after such a long time are US forces still in S.Korea?
Does President Bush seriously want a "Peace Treaty"?

Prior to the bombing of the Syrian nuclear facility Israeli commandos launched a secret raid on the facility in which they seized nuclear material and the proof that it came from North Korea. Then they brought it to President Bush and received his blessing on the bombing mission. An excellent job by all who were involved. Wouldn't it be fitting if exactly the same thing happened to Iran while their little president was visiting in NY? I'd love to see the look on his face when he was told about it.

I am personally thinking, that this is the MOST retarded US law ever made.
First of all US is one of the few countries that have this pathetic law, Second there is so much government money were wasted for arresting "underage" drinkers, cause there will be always someone who is 21, who will buy it. Next if you old enough to die for your country when you 17!!!! Why cant you have little buzz than? And by the time you would turn 21, you already would want to start settling and building family...and you will loose interest to alchohol

by criticizing george bush for inane personality traits like "he looks like a monkey," or, "he stutters, LOL."

shouldn't we be more focused on the fact that he is a murdering, thieving bastard?

which is worse: being a poor speaker or an international terrorist?

All I see is HILLARY and GULIANNI ! What about Ron Paul, Mike Huckabee, Joe Biden. I think any of these 3 are far more superior to the American Way then the showdown that the media wants. People need to research candidates and quit beleiving those stupid polls that are put out. I work in a union enviroment and NOBODY like's Hillary. I am a conservative and I don't like Gulianni. Personally I can't find anyony who actually likes either one, if they did their homework.

I have worked for the Home Office for nearly three years, and i have seen alot of people coming into this country. "How can we tell who we are letting into this country"? Don't you think we should shut the borders, and say "No more"! "Why don't the government say no to letting all these people coming into this country. I have lived in this country all my life, and the changes have gone out of control with so called Immigration. I said to some friends i know a few years ago England is England no more. "What do you think"?

I had a court case going on because a girl hit me in a car accidnet. My lawyer one week before the settlement conference left me because the lack of his effort and time put into my case. His mistakes lead to me loosing thousands of dollars. I had to go to the settlement conference and I settled however now I regret it somewhat because I feel I was taken advantage of by the other attorney because it was them against me. Is there anything I can possibly do now even though we signed to settle? I'm going to contact my local bar to try to either sue my past lawyer or get some of the money I should have as I lost a lot.

Help please.

I rented a few DVDs from a store for 2 dollars each. Most of the DVDs do not work properly. I complained to the shopkeeper that it doesn't work - but she says it works very well. She says the DVDs are always tested for flaws & only the 100% efficient ones are the ones that they rent to customers. She says it could be a problem with my computer or CD drive.

What can I do?

I heard from someone that they heard that, and didn't really believe it, but when she was 16, a cop talked to her and she had a pack of camels visible clearly visible. She didn't get them taken away. Did the cop just miss it (or ignore it), or is it actually to possess cigarettes at this age?

Just like income tax, I think parking ticket and other fine amount should be vary according to income. Based on income, rich people would have to pay more while low income class should pay less. It should hit people where it hurt so they would learn their lesson. I think it would be fair and everybody would respect the law, not simply BUY it.

You guessed right. The answer is no because when it comes down to it he does not have the guts or the clout to face down the Republican congressmen who will have to stand for reelection in 2008. He only has one all abiding principle, political expediency.

so, i was on a cash payment basis with an employer for a part time job. he was fine in paying initially, but, he hasn't made his last payment. he sent an email over a month ago stating that he would deposit the money in my account by later that day or the next day. he hasn't. (this is my only "proof" of owed wages). problem is, the amount is under a 1000 and it will be pretty expensive to take him to court ( only thing i know is his name).

is there another magical way to get my money? or should i just forget about this? if i sue him, what are the chances i will win a settlement? and, will this have an effect on his credit rating/record? i would love to just sue based on principles. but, if the settlement has no effect on his permanent record (trouble getting loans, etc etc ), then there's no point.

help a brotha out.

Cuba used to be the mecca for savvy US leftists. But considering how Hugo Chavez has been agressively courting American leftists such as Cindy Sheehan, Sean Penn, Harry Belafonte, etc..it seems to be all the rage lately with these anti-American traitor types

why are people so against it? I I don't know, people complain about the dream act because it would give good illegal students a chance to be legalized, and therefore have a chance to get financial aid. People who are against it say that why should they get money if there are Americans that can't afford college?, well these Americans can also apply for a scholarship or financial aid. And if you didn't get neither you should really rethink why you didn't, maybe because you didn't get good grades? have you thought about it?, maybe you're not worth financial aid? maybe your GPA wasn't good enough? illegals had nothing to do with the fact that you are academically incompetent. srry if i offended anyone, I'm sure I did but it pisses me off when i hear stories about illegals that have 3.0 GPA's or higher and grew up here in the U.S because their parents brought them when they were minors and had no other choice but to come are being denied an opportunity to study.
