As a smoker I accept that it may cause me harm, and possibly to others around me. Therefore I accept the fascist anti-smoking legislation we now have.

My question really is why only smoking?

How many people have been killed or injured by someone driving under the influence of tobacco?

Or been beaten up or worse because someone had one too many cigarettes and became violent?

Do we not need rather more control over drinking habits, and not just smoking?

As a MTV generation kido, i grew up in the cusp of an environmental attitude change that seems to swing back and forth like a pendelum. (Reagan to Cater Bush to clinton to Gore oh i mean Bush again and again...) It is time to turn the page folks unlike our dear mis imformed Leaders I KNOW that our resources are NOT infinite! As a culture we pretend that there are unlimited resources and even more unlimited places to bury the stuff when we are finished with it. It is time we wake up as a culture and realize that reducing, reusing, and recycling are the true three r's that need to be taught in our society today and may i add a fourth R to the equation, this is rethink.. we need to rethink our policies and actions, the time for acting like an ostrich with his head in the sand is over lets hold our heads high and be fully aware of our actions. WE DO LIVE ON A SUBSTAINABLE PLANET IF WE WOULD ONLY ACT RESPONSIBLY what is your ideas to get people to RETHINK and make real changes .

I started a new job a week ago, interview was 5 min no reference checks . I was suppose to fill out all these forms ie. Tax forms ect. They wouldn't let me sign them( I thought that had to be done once you are hired) This is a surgeons office that i was working in. they said i was doing great!. So today i get called to go talk to the doctor and he said that its not working out because we think you are on drugs! I don't do drugs or drink. My free time is spent with my family and kids I phoned back asking for more answers and they told me that i got the job in the first place cause i was the only one with the most medical experience but then they recieved a new resume from someone with more experience and thats why they let me go. They knew i quit my other job to come there and they made sure i did. I know you can terminate before 3mths without notice, just looking for any help regarding the drug thing and letting me go cuz they got someone better. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Is there any legal precedent that can be used to force websites (such as genealogy.com) to remove my personal information. This is information that I did not provide to them, and I do not want posted for security reasons.

As a joint executor on my grandfathers estate, am I liable to pay any debts outstanding out of my own funds? This would be under English Law. I have a concern that the Pensions Agency may be attempting to reclaim any benefit which may have been overpaid, and the funds left by my granfather may not be sufficient enough to do this. Any advice would be appreciated!

I have a misdemeanor for petty theft and currently live in Stockton Ca. I am so angry at myself and am very frustrated because I can't get a job to save my life. I have had so many doors slammed in my face, that's it's not funny and some temp agencies that I want to apply at (due o the companies they service) said that I can't even apply if I have a misd. for petty theft and how they only want the "highest quality" employees to offer to their clients. Made me feel like sh!t. I've had jobs my entire life and granted I did make a kid mistake at the age of 23, however I had no representation, I just plead guilty and they gave me 3 years of probation and made me pay $310.00 for taking 25.00 worth of food for my family. We were doing bad at the time. I've never done anything like this in my life and now employers wont even look at my resume. Nobody seems to want to help me as far as programs for employment, public defenders are not helping me, should I get a lawyer, would it be worth it?

Hey everyone, I need some honest good old help. Here is my story. I want to join the Military and I have done my homework for years now. I have been involved with the military since I wanted to go in back in 2003. In 2003 I decided to go talk to recruiters of all the branches and the Navy seemed to be the right place for me. I signed up and was to leave July 13th 2004 but my recruiter brought personal matters into the office and failed to make sure that with all the changes while I was in DEP I stated eligible. So I asked to be discharged so that I can go reserve instead of active because do to her mistake I would have to choose a new job and a new contract. I just didnt want her as my recruiter anymore. I then joined the Reserve and shortly after I got pregnant. they discharged me. It has been two years since and now I want to give it another try . I have my prioritys straight . But My husband is Active duty Army and we have two kids. I contacted a recruiter and explained my situation

Not only does he want to "veto" a proposal that helps the most helpless among us, his new budget calls for stricter requirements for applicants and further reductions to a program that actually works!!!----by comparison, one month's War spending would fund the program for 5 YEARS!!

Can this Presidency get any more disgusting??????

I was driving with my friend and we pulled into a parking space. We both exited the car and a cop car pulled up behind us and then they got out and asked where we were going, we responded to check the surf. They said they had heard that 100 times that night and that no there was no party going on at the beach. Then he asked to see our ID's. My friend who was driving gave the cop his and was written a ticket for driving with someone even though his license was provisional (In CA for first year after getting license you can't drive with anybody in the car). Then the cop asked for mine, I asked why and he said because I was in the car. We are both 17 and in California. Because we were no longer in the car do we still have to turn over our ID's?

I am a 19 year old and I have been going to community college for over a year now. I have told both my parents for the last 6 months of my interest in joining the Marine Corps Reserve. My father has been more than supportive about this plan while my mother is opposite to the idea, wanting me to go away to college and getting a degree in construction management, (which I myself really desire to obtain). I (as well as my recruiter) have talked long and hard to her about the Marine Reserves yet it seems she still does not understand why I would want to do this. Growing impatient with her, I joined without her and my fathers knowing. I finally told my father and my mother a month latter, (three days ago), and now she can barely stand the sight of me. I try to comfort her by saying that I will, no matter what happens, finish college and get my much wanted degree but she still does not understand. My father though does, and believes it is a rather noble thing to do. She seems as if she has done something wrong in raising me, I know this because my father told me after he had a nights long discussion with her about it and she even said to him, “how could I have raised a son that wants to kill people.” I have told her for months and have even told her this last night that I am doing this not because of benefits or “the thrill to kill people” but because of the nobility of the cause and of it being a great way (maybe the best [I don’t know]) in becoming a stronger person. I told her if I wanted benefits I wouldn’t have joined the reserve, (only making $350 a month for school [which really comes down to nothing when talking about most universities]) and I would have joined an NROTC program at a university right away, (which I also plan on doing when I go back to school). Now I am not asking if I have made a bad decision, (because I know it was a right decision) and I am not asking if it was wrong of me to go behind my parents back and join the military (because I know it was a wrong decision) but I am asking what should I do to comfort my mother (a stubborn woman) when she does not understand why I am doing this and help both of us sleep at night. Thank you for your time and answers, I really do appreciate it.

They blame the "corrupt, zionist Jews" for everything.

Last time I checked, there were 41 Muslim countries and only one Jewish country.

I honestly do not see why they just do not leave Israel alone. I could see if they did not have a country... but they have many. While the Jews have been kicked out of almost every Muslim and only have Israel to go to.
