And if so, why? Can one man make the American public realise that Iranians are people too? Does the opinion of the American public matter to Bush? Do most Americans know who Ahmedinejad is?

I think he did.
Do you agree? Disagree?

Many schools these days have classes in Spanish, to accommodate the children of parents that can’t be bothered to learn the language or integrate into American society, and there are laws requiring any school with a certain percentage of foreign students to tech classes in native tongues, yet when the local school district in my area started teaching classes in Polish to accommodate a large Polish population, the parents of those students insisted that their children learn in English.
Why can’t certain “other” people try to melt into the pot with the rest of the people in this great country?

that they equate a visit by Ahmadinejad to the U.S. as having anything to do with Liberals. The abundance of lies and hate is getting to the level of insanity.

...according to Ahmadinejad this "phenomenon" doesn't exist in Iran. I guess if there were any homosexuals, they would somehow disappear.

I'm listening to this speech to Columbia University right now, and he can't even answer Yes or Now to a question like, "Do you want to wipe israel off the map, Yes or No?".

He ran around the question and couldn't even answer Yes or No. Seems like a pretty simple question to me?

Ok, well as I'm writing this, he seems to be self imploding even more. This is gold.

The U.S. has all these immigrants coming from different countries, both legally and ilegally, and I'm just wondering why America? I mean i think it's a great thing that they choose this country because it gives the U.S. culture and diversity, and it also helps the immigrants have better lives, but I'm just curious why not Canada, or Sweden, or Japan? I need a detailed explaination for school. Or you can just tell me what you think. Thanks!

Republicans propose tax increases for working folks. Meanwhile they borrow money to fund tax cuts for the rich.

What would we have to go through in Pennsylvania in order to have custody of me a 16yo guy to my aunt?

If i can get my parents to agree to it, how would i go about getting custody signed over to my aunt?
she has 4 kids already. I want to know what the process would involve and how long it would take.

If i cant get them to agree to it, what would i have to do to go to court to get custody to my aunt?
I need out of my house i cant take how my parents treat me any longer.... My aunt already agreed to take me in, but i need to get my parents to agree also. Either that or take them to court.\
What would it take? What would it involve? How long would it take?

Of course, I don't mean personally I mean who has ordered the death of more people - and that includes sending the army to war to kill people.

I'm guessing that Bush is way ahead with the whole Iraq thing and let's not forget Afghanistan and if you like you can add Katrina in there because if he'd invested in his own country rather than invading someone else's that would never have happened.

Some people aren't ready for neither one of them to be in office. No one is ready for a woman to be in office because they think that a woman can't handle the job. And no one wants an African American in office because many think that a black should not be held with the job. Personally, I think that we shouls have a black in office because it would show that there is at least some kind of diversity. And I think that a woman should be in office because it would show that women can do the job.

My boss treated the other girl and I like piece's of ****. I decided to take the professional route, and the process most companies suggest in their manual's (although this private company didn't have any), and call for a meeting. I asked both of the companies owner's to attend, and I said that one of them made me uncomfortable with the way he treated the other girl and I. He says deal with it. Next morning I am fired.
I am not one to run to revenge but I can't just let something like this happen without atleast trying to do something about it. It was a really great job and I was super happy there, except when Keith Schenk was around. I think he's sexist cause he talked to the other girl and I like we were ****, often laughing at us. My boyfriend says the unemployment office offers a way to file for harassment. Does it and should I do it? Are there any other suggestions on how to handle this? Please only answer if you have helpful info. Thanks.

I live in MD and my ex lives in Guam.

My son is 2 years old & has his fathers last name. His father is no longer in the picture. He was abusive and a liar and I gave him chance after chance and he ended up abandoning us.

I tried filing for child support and they said guam does NOT have an agreement with the US so I can't file for child support. (That is so unfair)

Money doesnt mean a thing to me all I want is to have my sons last name changed to mine and have soul custody.

I'm thinking i'll just run into the same probs of the non agreement between guam and the US so I wont be able to change his name or file for custody...? If the law wont help me do you have any other suggestions?

To the people who are going to say that i'm in the wrong and it's better for a child to have both parents... I'm sorry but you dont know my ex.

I just need help on what I can do to break free of all ties and continue raising my son on my own.

Thank you for any help
