1. Do you think every state should adopt it? OR
2. Do you think it should be abolished totally?

Perhaps a compromise:

3. It should only be used for specific crimes; heinous, extremely violent murder, especially where the victims are young children, the elderly or subjected to torture.

4. And for acts of war and terror (Sept 11, Oklahoma bombing, Embassy bombings)

The driver started to drive away, but was stopped by the police. They declined to press charges at the scene, but "persuaded" him to provide insurance info. Can I go down to the police station and press charges anyway? Any suggestions will be appreciated. The incident took place in California.

I made the unwise decision to put a friend on my cell phone plan. He put two phones on the plan, one for himself and one for his girlfriend. When we made the agreemenet, I had him sign a paper saying that he would pay. He is now six days late and evidentally has no plan to pay.
In the paper he signed, he agreed to be responsible for his two lines until the end of the contract in 2009. In order to cancel his lines, it will cost $200 per line. I am hoping to take him to court for the cancelation fees as well as two months worth of service. Is it really worth my time to take him to court?

I looked up a career in the Dallas Police department and under qualifications, they ask if you had any class "a" and class "b" misdemeanors. I have no idea what constitutes as one. Does anyone have an answer for both?

I spent particular attention watching Ron Paul's answers and performance last night at the Republican candidates' debate at Morgan State University. What struck me was how badly he performed. He stumbled over questions, he seemed confused and repetitive, and his comments--while appealing to traditional conservatives (and particularly neoisolationists)--were simplistic and at times naïve.

So explain to me why you think this man is able to do this job?

Its been in the news lately that China has been spying on the US. And along with that, there was a Russian spy who was killed in England that said the Russians where plotting some sort of evil plot. Russia seems to be Buddies with Iran. In all, the future doesn't appear so bright for peace. And now with our military somewhat bogged down in Iraq, would we be prepared for an all out world war as this would be?

I have encountered a vicious hate monger advocating genocide as a final answer to the immigartion problem. This is a man made problem therefore it has a rational solution. I am in part as conservative as most Americans on this subject, but I do not beleive in hate mongering or racists remarks that are intended to cause alienation and fear in people.When this type of hysteria spills over to Americans who happen to be latin it is reason for concern. Some of these Americans that are being harassed have been in the south west since 1610. This to will pass just as the Irish, Italians Jews ect. forged ahead. It is fear of people a little differnt than others or ignorance that brings out these people who seem to relish this type of behaviours. I don't have the answer or ability to change others, however I try to be fair, learn from others and give back waht I can.

Okay lets say we finally learn to get along and be buddies. How much do you think this alliance would benefit the US. I mean were pretty much almost the same in military strength and technology. Don't you think working together with this guys would put us into a modern day golden age?

Would you run it like Burma and shoot protesters?

Would you run it like Sweden and bestow generosity on the people?

Or would you run it like the States, feeding propaganda of freedom and democracy while spending trillions on the military instead of your own people?

Would you run your nation any differently than the above ways?

I'd definitely say 90% of them were whackjobs! I've even known poor kids who want nothing to do with the military! The only people I've known who wanted to join the military were psychopaths that just want to kill people. I've known one or two that joined for the adventure and true patriotism, and the rest were graduating from video game violence to the real world, or just wanted to hurt people. I am convinced the military is full of immature, dumb kids and borderline mass murderers. I can't imagine why anyone in their right mind would volunteer, really.

Why all this bigotry against a candidate who seems to be a nice enough guy? Surely he's a more morally upright person than Rudy Guiliani with his serial marriages and scary megalomania, or Fred Thompson who seems to be convinced that he's a reincarnation of Reagen?

The history of Organized Labor is rife with intimidation, violence, brutality, terrorism and murder. Even in recent times, labor thugs have proven themselves to be an unrepentant criminal entity:

1983 - Eddie York was murdered for crossing a United Mine Workers (UMW) picket line

1990 - on the first day of The New York Daily News strike, trucks were attacked with stones and sticks. One union member was immediately arrested for transporting Molotov cocktails

1998 - During the Communications Workers of America U.S. West strike a worker was threatened with a gun, and a manager was hit in the head with a rock

1998 - Teamsters Orestes Espinosa, Angel Mielgo, Werner Haechler, Benigno Rojas, and Adrian Paez beat, kicked, and stabbed a UPS worker (Rod Carter) who refused to strike

2004 AFL-CIO push their way into a Republican field office in Orlando FL, breaking the wrist of one staffer

HOW EMBARRASSING! What conservative could argue that we're protecting freedom in Iraq when the United States government won't even send a Junior ROTC squadron into Burma or the Sudan?

There is no better indictment that the Iraq War is all about exploitation of the region's resources! Honestly!
