Ok, so I was engaged, she had bad credit, we used mine to buy a car, in my name, but totally hers. Well she left me and now she is trying to stick me with paying for this new car, which I cannot even pretend to afford. So what are my options? Can I just have it repoed, how will that damage me(it's leased).

themselves when conservatives repeatedly

1) vote against minimum wage increases (it finally was raised, but republicans voted against it)

2) are against the federal student loan program (FDSLP)

3) are against social programs for the poor.

some people say that we shouldn't help the poor because it's not the gov.s responsibility, and some people are just lazy and won't work no matter what. that's an over-generalization. what about the poor people who DO want to help themselves? how are they supposed to help themselves when conservatives keep voting against the very social programs that are meant to give them help? there is absolutely no way a single mom with 4 kids is going to be able to send her kids to college if she gets paid minimum wage. so how would she afford it? (not saying i'm a single mom with four kids, i'm giving an example)

I'm serious this applies to the overwhelming majority of all politicians, including every current presidential candidate, GOP or Democratic, with the lone exeption of Ron Paul, here are 5 examples: 1. minimum wage, 2. social security 3. medicare/medicaid 4. gun control 5. federal reserve (in its current capacity). It truly is disgusting that modern politicians work to negate the American Revolution, so why do they do it?

The federal government outlaws the possession and ownership of widgets (imaginary item). The majority of your state, including yourself supports the ownership and enjoyment of widgets. What if it got to the point that the federal government was ready to send the national guard in to force the residents of your state to relinquish all widgets. Who would you support? I know, its a stupid question, but I'm curious of how people think. People used to consider themselves a, for instance, New Yorker first and an American second.

Our Govt have spy drones everywhere and high definition cameras with night vision and infra red sensors and stuff which they dont have in the "dictatorship" of Burma.
So while they can go home at night and come back to protest next day, we will be picked up at home at night. This is why we dont protest ant this is the reality of Big Brother in the Western World

OK, so me and my friend were walking home from school, we were walking properly on the sidewalk and reach a driveway of a coffee shop, there is a car pulled up blocking half the sidewalk waiting for a break in traffic to pull in (like everyone does), so we slow down and look both ways and see there is no break for her to pull in, and she is get this...STARING right in front out the windshield, right at us..so we asume its safe and pass infront on the other half of the sidewalk...while walking in front of her car she lets go of her break (slight incline) and starts rolling into the street...she hits my leg and my friends leg and wrist (she's shorter) we yelled "hey stop" while we were running into the road and ahead to get out of the way JUST as we get out of the way she applies the gas (we would have been in trouble if we got out of the way any later), she realized what she was doing and yelled out the window "oh sorry" and continues driving without stopping to see if we are OK.

Isn't the creation of a social tax, and therefore a social and moral "obligation", really an establishment of a religious POV? Isn't it requiring and forcing all people to follow the Judeo-Christian, Islamic, and other religious teachings that direct their followers to "tithe" to the less fortunate?

So does that mean it's OK to establish a "little" bit of these religions if it's "well intentioned"?

What about people who don't believe in tithing, who believe that "God helps those who help themselves", or think such charitable practices are better left to individuals through their own religious beliefs, as much or as little as they wish? Is it just, "TOO BAD, this is the religion we've established and you MUST OBEY?"

I'm all for helping the poor and less fortunate. I just don't understand how these taxes aren't a violation of the Establishment clause of the Constitution.

F.D.R. was the president who read from the bible on the radio every week in fireside chats, right?

Hypothetical situation. Lets say I have a contract with someone that i loaned money to and charged an interest rate that was at the state maximum...for this situation lets say 29%. The judge knows he has to award me the judgement but scolds me for charging such a high interest rate. I get mad at the scolding and say "Oh yeah well you gotta award me the money and there aint nothing you can do about it." The judge then decides that since I was a smart alec he is going to order that the defendant doesnt have to pay me a penny.

If a judge abuses his power like this, what could someone do?

I mean, it must really burn them that Ron Paul is a Republican... and popular at that!

He really separates the power-cronies from the Americans in the Republican party...

I just hope that he doesn't draw too many dem votes and then another Bushie gets elected...

my next door neighbour was murdered late tuesday night.
the police have been in my block of flats constantly since it happened.
i understand that they have to get evidence n stuff but today i went to pay my rent i told the i would be back before 3pm to get ready for work. i got told they would probably be gone by then.
when i did get back a couple of hours later they had blocked off the entire landing with a black screen so i couldnt get in my flat.

i had to ring up work and i have lost a days wages. i dont get many hours at the moment so its really annoyed me.

they also expected me to stand outside in the cold for upto 2 hours while they did whatever they were doing behind the screen.

will i be able to get any compensation for this??
