Has the thought ever occurred to you they were speaking of CITIZENS that had been targeted because of their appearance? Or are you only thinking of two words in the story...illegal immigrants?

I was looking up my ex's file online and he has 17 open court cases...the last one being on his birthday. It says Civil Other. I was just wondering what that could be. I don't like sending my son with him, especially with his bad record and wanting to know what he could have done now. Most of the past cases were traffic infractions. But what is Civil Other. Thanks!

without admitting that they do it with guns?
For the hardnuts, sure there are other ways to kill, but they are not as easy and as cowardly as pointing a gun FROM A DISTANCE. As someone else pointed out, most murders are done in an emotional outburst when a gun is handy.

after the incident i did not coperiate with the DA becuase he was making all kinds of threats, & I thought that since he has the best lawyer in town and owns so many biz's & some cop friends, i was not going to testify or do anything. even though he knew i was not going to do nothing, he still did not stop threating, calling my Friends threating them & all kinds of BS, so I decided that enough was enough, i bought a recorder, taped all the threats, he called my friend & she also taped him. there was a stay away OOP, he broke it, the judge warned him, he broke agian by calling me restricted everyday & day i had apt with da, he called & i put him on speaker, so they charged him with another felony for breaking oop, he still had the nerve to call again restricted saying that he has the best lawyer & nothing will happen to him! first i have no proof that he called again cuz calls are restricted? can he get away with this, & not get any jail time & if he pleas to an e felony e, wat happens

First: Congress passes a law that underage smoking is illegal

Second: Congress passes a law that, once every year, the legal smoking age goes up by one.

So eventually, smoking will fade out.

I know. Tobacco lobyists will never let it happen. And there will be some underage smokers. But humor me.

I use to run track and cross country (and I still would be if my school has a team). Sometimes, on practice 2-miles and 3-miles, I would run by some smokers. And I hated it; it was literally painfull. And I hate the smell and walking by it when I go from class to class. So that's why I'm very anti-smoking.

And of course, somebody will say its that persons right to smoke. But my - and everybody elses - right to good health and peace of mind IS more important than somebodies whim to smoke.

So would you support congress if it tried this?

Appears Ahmadinejad's visit to UN next week will be coupled with his visit to Columbia University.

Of course Bush supporters as well as those who detest the man are against such a visit, much less a speech.
I say it is always important to study one's enemy. I look forward to hearing what he has to say.
I imagine many in foreign countries all over the world detest Georgewbush. That's not to say that they wouldn't want to hear what he has to say. Especially in person.

How do you feel about the invite by Columbia?

...and please, let's move a little further than thoughts that Ahmadinejad will be speaking about 'same-oh-same-oh'......
because that is the same thing our own president does......

Thanks.
(btw, tickets are nearly sold out )

There is so much unjust in this world at the moment, and the one thing Mr Brown can do, is to allow parents the right of knowledge, the god given right to protect their children, and stop hiding the animals that live amongst us. I don't want a witch hunt, or to go on a vigilante manhunt, all I desire is to know if a paedophile lives in my local area. Children need protecting, and if we knew that info, everyone would be extra careful of the little cherished ones.

Does this make sense?

"Point Blank's Military version of the Interceptor™ OTV is manufactured for the sole use of the United States Military. Resale of the Military version of the Interceptor™ OTV to persons other than the United States Military is prohibited and subject to legal action."

Yes, there have been other buildings which have been hit via planes, in history, even large fully tanked passenger planes. But how many of those buildings fell?

I have a friend that was in the company of another person at a bar when that person supposedly robbed the place. The employees and other patrons all gave statements that my friend did not appear to be involved, as did the person who robbed it. However, after the police promised him they'd release him if he'd admit my friend was involved, he gave 4 different versions of how she was involved. (none of them true, she isn't the type) In addition there was also a security camera that would prove my friends innocence but the police did not request it. They are charging her with a 3rd degree felony which carries a mandatory min of 8 years if found guilty. Her lawyer even said the only thing keeping the DA from dropping charges is his false statement. How can they use his statements? He was convicted before of the same charge as well as drugs and my friend has never had more than a parking ticket. (for any ?ing why she was with him, they were friends years ago & wasnt aware of his record)

1) seal the borders with more border guards and technology.....and crack down heavily on those employing illegal aliens..essentially fining them out of business with such fines as $50,000 for each illegal hired, and mandatory 1 year jail sentences for top management.

2) Begin troop withdrawals from Iraq with aim of being out of there by July 2008.

3) Balancing budget is a priority and start down path right now

4) Balancing trading is a priority

5) Education of our children is a priority for increase competitiveness worldwide

6) Devise ways and means to drastically reduce the cost of health care and consequently health insurance.

7) No american contractors on battle field...just soldiers as in the past.

Is there one?

There is nothing I've read that includes their parents.So what seems to be the REAL problem with these kids joining the military or going to College?Seems to me people just think it's entitlement for their own kids.Maybe we should reinstitute the draft or be like other countries and demand 2 years military service for ALL citizens.You know...step up and do YOUR part type of thing? Should we do that?

When they return home to visit their families between tours, why did you vote to deny them the same length of time at home as they spent on a tour of duty?

Another Republican mouthpiece on the radio was ranting how war is sacrifice, and therefore the American troops must be willing to make sacrifices in order to win this war ...

So apparently it's not enough to leave your family and travel half way across the world many months .... to a strange, inhospitable land ... and face many, many unseen dangers that could kill or dismember you .... that's NOT enough sacrifice for our dear little Republican friends in Congress .... They insist on denying these troop adequate time with their families between tours.
