"Mr _ _ _ _ _ _...please tear down this wall" speech someday in the future? I just think that building a wall is a waste of money and it sends the wrong message. Why not spend that money on more technology to reduce illegal immigration? A wall would be like saying..."we don't want anyone here...we don't care if you are illegal or legal...stay out of our country!"...Another reason why I think building a wall would be a dumb idea is because it contradicts the plans for the so-called "North American Union"...and "NAFTA Super highway" that both neocons and neoliberals support.

I think this is an urban myth, but my friend swears a nurse she knows told her it works and loads of medical type people do it.

The theory is, the speed camera cannot 'see' through undeveloped x-ray film placed over the car number plate.

The number plate is supposedly still visible to the naked eye, however, so if a human cop sees you he or she will not notice anything amiss.

My reason for thinking it is an urban myth is that if it was true, why don't we hear about people doing it? There are lots of people who would be lining up to take advantage of something like this if it was true.

Her argument to that is, how would ordinary people get undeveloped x-ray film, it's only available via medical channels and those folks are used to keeping their mouths shut!

If you have any facts, a web site, an informed opinion or just a good theory ~ please let me know.

I'd really like to win this one :-D

Please Note: I am NOT planning to try this, even if it is true!

As a small time investor & developer, what would Labour do to encourage more private small scale residential developments to help ease the rental & ownership crisis ? ALP have always had a "battler" image, dangerously they seem to reward complacency and punish the self motivated. They lost many voters who grew up in ALP households because they had the drive to make a change. Labour will hurt the small time joint venture developers, thus hurting renters and first home buyers ! They just "cant see the writing on the wall".

In the event of a draft, will mentally impaired persons like myself be forced into combat duty?


I'm basically considered bipolar - that's what's listed on my medical records. I've been seeing psycho therapists and psychiatrists since primary school (in high school now) and have been taking medication for over 6 years.

I really don't want to be drafted in to the military unless I was awarded some high position (officer perhaps..)


My mom says they won't accept mentally phucked folks even in the most extreme circumstances of conscription, but I want to make sure.


Help?

Why is the U.S. investing crap amounts of money into energy research while blowing massive amounts in on a war which, through pathetic attempts to "democratize" a region, is instead simply securing our non-renewable energy (oil) for maybe the next 10 or so years? Why are we building roads for cars that run on oil that we won't have soon? Don't people realize the oil's actually going to run out? Why is there no discussion of or interest in this huge and obvious problem?

Still, apparently we Americans are just too good to ride our bikes to work anymore in spite of the fact that Americans, who comprise less than 5 percent of the world's population, suck up more than 25 percent of its energy.

"A MOM AND DAD IN IRAQ DRIVE THROUGH AN AMERICAN MILITARY CHECKPOINT, THAT ACCORDING TO THE STORY, HADNT EVEN BEEN SET UP YET. ALL THAT MARKED IT OFF AS A CHECKPOINT WAS A SINGLE PIECE OF YELLOW TAPE STRETCHED ACROSS A DIRT PACKED ROAD. A SINGLE SOLDIER WAS ON SITE, STATIONED AT THE AREA UNTIL THE REST OF THE CREW SHOWED UP TO BUILD THE ROADSIDE QUARTERS WHERE SOLDIERS WOULD STAY TO MAN THE CHECKPOINT.

AS THE MOM AND DAD DROVE THROUGH, THE SOLDIER LIFTED HIS RIFLE, CLICKED THE AUTOMATIC SELECTOR SWITCH, AND KILLED BOTH OF THEM WITH ARMOR PIERCING ROUNDS, LEAVING THREE KIDS ORPHANED. THE MILITARY SAID IT WAS JUST A CASUALTY OF BATTLE AND LET IT GO AT THAT."

Collecting of Details on Travelers Documented
U.S. Effort More Extensive Than Previously Known

By Ellen Nakashima
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, September 22, 2007; Page A01

The U.S. government is collecting electronic records on the travel habits of millions of Americans who fly, drive or take cruises abroad, retaining data on the persons with whom they travel or plan to stay, the personal items they carry during their journeys, and even the books that travelers have carried, according to documents obtained by a group of civil liberties advocates and statements by government officials.

The personal travel records are meant to be stored for as long as 15 years, as part of the Department of Homeland Security's effort to assess the security threat posed by all travelers entering the country. Officials say the records, which are analyzed by the department's Automated Targeting System, help border officials distinguish potential terrorists

Take an extremist like Michael Moore, a bleeding hearted liberal. The labels I've seen are "visionary", "talented", and "activist". Or Al Franken..."extremely intelligent". Or Al Gore..."intelligent" (ha! look into his college grades!), "thoughtful", "passionate", etc. You get the picture.

Now for some poor-people-hating conservative extremists, like Pat Buchanan. I've seen "Hitler", "dictator", "hate monger", etc. Rush Limbaugh is many things, including "blowhard", "controversial", "hate monger", "divisive". You get the picture?

Now, given that a out of 79 journalists working for the three major networks, 78 of them are registered Democrats who are either now active or were active in Democratic campaigns at some level, can we see a pattern emerging? The exception is Diane Sawyer, who was Nixon's press secretary.

Bias? Not this media, no way! The labels given by the bleeding hearted liberal media are deserved, not biased...

what do you think?

With all the damage he has caused he always seems calm. Doesnt scream, raise his fist, yell, or even cuss. Its almost as though he's polite when he talks.

All those other terrorist scum bags scream really loud and chant

this guy just seems like a puppet.

Is he retarded? Whats the name of his disease and why is he always calm?

I see so many instances that once someone is know to be a democrat he is just naturally assumed to be the most extreme of liberals on all issues, and a republican is assumed to be the most right wing of conservatives. I know this is not the case. We are not really that simple in our personal beliefs. Our own personal beliefs vary from issue to issue. But as things stands now you are thrown in with either the left wing extremists or the right wing extremists even if you are really somewhere in the middle. In my opinion, we need to either do away with the two party system by banning parties all together and making people run on what they personally stand for, or at least have a couple more parties....like a labor party that would focus on fairness for american workers, or an americans first party that could focus on making sure our governments serves americans first and not everyone else in the world. Can you imagine how quickly the demcrats and republicans would start acting

My husband is looking into FAO for Europe. What should I expect? I found lots of stuff about what FAOs might do, but not about the process to get there.

I know the training takes 3-4.5 years. Where does the training take place?

I read about the ICT being approx. one year. Is that at the end of the 3-4.5 years?

Any info would be much appreciated.
