Hi all. My wife and I split up in July. We were married 2.5 years and have one child together. She moved to her father's, and he lives 90 miles from where I do. dunno where she/i are going but i've worked hard to do the best thing for my son. I've been sending money to her each week.

The problem has been phone calls and visitation. she has a cell phone that i pay for. when i try to reach her during the week to discuss visitation or just talk to my son, i rarely get an answer. it'll go three, four days at a time. this has happened at least over the course of 3 separate weeks. finally i end up driving the 90 miles to just go get him. she has said she couldn't call back (over several days?), or the phone wasn't charged. one time she left the phone somewhere and didnt go back for it for about 4 days. Her dad doesn't want her using his phone.

I filed custody papers, and this happened again the same week. I got my son the next wkend. should i just keep him til the court date?

I want to know what your reasons are for supporting or not supporting Ron Paul? And telling me that he's a loonatic or a nutjob will not suffice, I want real reasons like if your political position is different from his and how?

I'll start: I support Ron Paul and will vote for him for President in 2008. I like that he supports our 2nd Amendment rights, is against the North American Union (which I believe is an attack on our national sovereignty), is against domestic spying programs and legislation such as the Patriot Act that gives the government permission to invade our privacy, and wants to make our money worth something again by backing it with gold, silver, etc.

I welcome all different opinions and political perspectives. Please do not insult anyone for their political beliefs!

How many of you know that Ahmadinejad is not 1st or even 2nd but actually THIRD in power in Iran? Ayatollah Khameini is 1st - he has pointedly never endorsed Ahmadinejad's contention of the Holocaust. 2nd is Hashemi Rafsanjani, an Iranian moderate elected Sept. 4 to lead the Assembly of Elders.

How many of you know that the #1 TV show in Iran today is "Zero Degree Turn", about Jews in pre-WWII Europe? In the show, an Iranian diplomat in Paris is in love with a French Jewish woman and saves her, and 100's of other French Jews, by faking papers to get them out of France.

How many of you know that there is a pro-American democracy movement in Iran, and that they have commemorated (in mourning) the 9/11 attacks?

Don't you think diplomacy with Iran would be GOOD?

Conservatives who used to be libs, did you view your move to the GOP as a step up in the socio-economic hierachy?
Libs are you libs because you believe a social hiearchy is unjust?

The problem originated soon after World War 1 when a large numbers of jews began to settle in Palestine, hoping to set up a Jewish national home. The Arabs and Palestine were implacably hostile to the idea of a separate Jewish state in what they considered there homeland. In order to retain Arab friendship and their own oil supplies the British limited Jewish immigration to 10,000 a year 1939. The second world war intensified the problem with hundereds ans thousands of Jewish refugees from Hitlers Europe looking for somewhere to go. The Americans forced Britain to give them Palestine after the jews killed hundereds of British soldiers.

Because once they get the dream act, they will get financial aid and a free ride. It's not about education or a path to citizenship, it's all about the freebies.

What impeachable offenses has he committed? Okay, I know he's an idiot, can't talk, can't joke blah blah blah. So what! If he should be impeached as so many think, than why hasn't he? No evidence? or no crimes? 10 points to honest answers regarless of political party. Clowns go find somewhere else to spread your agenda. Serious analysis only.

Terrorists may bag a few of us, now and then, and if they ever get their hands on a nuke, we'll be in a real crisis.

But Leftists Congresspersons (i.e., Feinstein, Lautenberg, Schumer), the former two of which try to sneak in freedom-limiting legislation when bills or budget legislation is passed, are bigger threats.

Why? Because they infringe upon the freedoms of all of us. Forever. Or until their garbage laws are overturned or ruled unconstitutional.

While we have enemies abroad, I cannot help but feel we have enemies to freedom back home.

When are we going to realize this and vote these clowns out of office (followed with a congressional censure)?

My ex husband who came to pick up our children yesterday tells me he's going to jail for a month and then being put on house arrest for a flubbed up job(carpentry work) and is being sued for 15,000. Does this make sense to you? I mean the jail sentence and all? He's been known to lie to me in the past so I guess I'm skeptical and being he has visitation with our children I would like to know the real reason he is in jail. Is there any way I can find this out?

I already asked this question once, I'm curious to see how the answers change now after I add my reaction to the original answers:

This question was over-the-top and mainly meant to get a rise out of Republicans, but I did find out something interesting...almost all of them made the same ridiculous argument...that if someone questions the use of of private contractors (who really are accountable to NO ONE regardless of guilt or innocence), that must mean they don't care when civilians get killed by terrorists?

I am tired of bogus claims that our brave contractors are only interested in profiting off war and want to keep the chaos and mayhem going perpetually.

Thank God for President Bush !!!!

Why don't they want our troops to have just as much time at home as they spend in Iraq? With our service members having 2,3 and 4 tours of duty do they not deserve to spend the same amount of time at home?

I think it is. This especially happens during election time. The Democratic candidates have to mess either with pointless rumors or outright lies ranging from whether they actually earned their medals in war to whether they are homosexual or not. What do you think ? And if you agree, why would the Republicans feel a need to resort to such tactics ?

How exactly? Pray for them? Send them care packages? Enlist? Write legislation? Put a bumper sticker on your car? Or merely say "I support the troops"?

Also, shouldn't it be up to each individual to decide if their actions support the troops? I'm getting sick of people trying to portray other people as non-troop supporters so they can further their own political agenda. I certainly think those scumbags don't support me in the least.
