My brother got a speeding ticket in my car on a residential road nowhere near a highway. The officer was CHP, and thus I would assume out of his jurisdiction. Can he get out of a ticket on those grounds?

I have been fascinated by military hardware everysince I was a Kid, in particular anything Bazooka like.

I remember Rambo's RPG and the Soviets in Afghanistan getting destroyed by their own RPG systems (by Mujahideen).

Sadly, in today's world, it is the US soldiers + Marines that suffer at the virtues of this classic weapon.

And with our high-tech inclination to war fighting it is especially frustrating to see looses happen where they need not occur.

I understand that their is an Anti-RPG system (Trophy) deployed by Israel (Rafael corp), so why don't we use it too?

I understand military has protocol for adopting systems, but in this You tube clip all of their excuses seem to be answered so what gives?

I just don't understand why we haven't addopted trophy already (IF EVEN ON A TEMPORARY BASIS)?

Thank you for sharing your pont of view

it seems to me he is the only one that if elected will not keep the status quo and will make great changes. The rest of the dems are just playing politics and not taking a real position. They say they will withdraw from iraq (if you agree or not) but then say they will leave some behind? Isnt that the worst thing to do? from a vets experience leaving a few with little backup would be bad. atleast edwards says he will pull out entirely.

I just came back from a Justice Court. I went up to the window and, before I could even open my mouth to speak, I was told to wiat, that there were people in front of me and they were short handed... Understandable. So, I waited. Name after name was called, I understand they were here before me and had some sort of prior arrangement, no problem. A gentleman came after me with no apparent appointment. He went up to the window and another clerk asked to help him. The clerk that told me to wait said nothing of it. I still waited. Three more men came after me and they too were helped. Another lady opened the door and pointed at the second in line and asked, "Have you been helped?", after which she attended him. She then did the same to the third man. Another lady came in and the same clerk that kept opening the door now helped the new lady at the window. Still the clerk that asked me to wait said nothing. By this time, that same clerk who said nothing looked at the lobby that was not empty

We ask that the government undertake the obligation above all of providing citizens with adequate opportunities for employment and earning a living.

The activities of the individual must not be allowed to clash with the interests of the community, but must take place within its confines and for the good of all. Therefore, we demand:...an end to the power of the financial interests.

We demand profit sharing in big business.

We demand a broad extension of care for the aged.

We demand...the greatest possible consideration of small business in the purchases of the national, state and municipal governments.

In order to make possible to every capable and industrious [citizen] the attainment of higher education and thus the achievement of a post of leadership, the government must provide an all-around enlargement of our entire system of public education...We demand the education at government expense of gifted children of poor parents...

The government must undertake the improvement of public health -- by the greatest possible support for all clubs concerned with the physical education of youth.

[We] combat the...materialistic spirit withn and without us, and are convinced that a permanent recovery of our people can only proceed from within on the foundation of The Common Good Before the Individual Good .

It was midday and there was alot of traffic driving right past us, isn't that dangerous? Should it be illegal? The officer just stood at the back of the car while my husband had to get out amidst of all the traffic, endangering himself. It was only a moving traffic violation (speeding).

If a white man uses a noose to hang a black man, that would be a hate crime. The mere possession of a noose should be, at best, a misdemeanour.
Throughout history thousands of people of every race have met their fate at the end of a rope. We all remember Saddam Hussein's demise. How then can the mere hanging of a noose, in a tree, be misconstrued as a hate crime?

I recently finished processing at the MEPs in Cleveland, Ohio. I am not from any part of Ohio but I reside in Michigan (Go Blue!!!). I was in Sandusky, Oh working for the summer when I decided to join the Navy. Now the summer's gone and I am back in Michigan. I still haven't finished my PQS with my recruiter. He says that I have to finish this in order to ship out, which is on 2008FEB02. I already signed my life away and sworn in. There is no way I can travel back and forth to Sandusky and Michigan everyday to finish my PQS. Am I still a valid applicant for the US Navy!!!!???? I am really looking forward for this opportunity and I would be greatly disappointed to see it go by. What do I do? Do I have to talk to a recruiter in Michigan and go through MEPs all over again and sign up again? My MA1 talked about doing a courtesy transfer with a recruiting station near my location to finish up on my PQS! I am just doubtful. Thank you for your time....

"LAS VEGAS - Nevada authorities on Friday identified a man they want to question as they search for a young girl shown being sexually assaulted in a homemade videotape.
Chester Arthur Stiles, 34, was being called a "person of interest" in the search for a girl with haunting eyes who authorities believe was 4 or 5 years old when she was raped and sexually assaulted in the video, Nye County Sheriff Tony DeMeo said."

I was always agains the capital punishment, but in this case I am 100% for it.

Rights.
I obtained my social security card / number, and Texas drivers license, about 1950, as a teen ager. ( Probably long before 60% of y/a members were born).
At the bottom of my s.s. card is the verbage : "NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION" . For the past several years, the s.s. number,(especially the last 4 numbers) are requested for identification, whenever someone wants to know about a credit card balance, to pay a utility bill, AND ESPECIALLY ANYTHING CONCERNING INCOME TAX, OR S.S.!!!
Now, I do not know when this condition of s.s. number became paramount in personal financial transactions, nor do I know when the s.s. number became MANDITORY for the s.s. branch's to answer any / and / or questions about my "benefits".
NOR DO I CARE WHO CONTROLED THE WHITE HOUSE, THE SENATE, OR THE HOUSE OF REPRESENATIVES !!!!!
For those who accuse GWB of enfringing upon ANY constitutional rights, I would like an answer to this question.
WHEN, & WHO INSTIGATED THIS SHI#, AND URSURPED OUR RIGHTS??
