and i couldnt be happier

Someone asked a legitimate question below me. Only one person attempted to answer it (DAR). Everybody else criticized the poster asking the question. HELLO!! Naturally people asking IMMIGRATION questions may not use English or any other language perfectly.

If you don't know the answer, ignore the question. If you don't understand the question, ignore the question. Otherwise, why respond and only insult the person asking the question? doing You probably don't understand one word of the person's native language that is asking the question. They are obviously most likely doing their best.

Clinton- $17-20 million
Obama- $18-19 million

Thompson- $7 million
McCain- $5 million
Giuliani- (Information will be released tomorrow. Says he will easily top Thompson, though.)

So, why have democrats been able to raise more money?
Is it really as some say...that democrats are happier with their candidates than are republicans with their candidates?

I heard on the news the other day that we are going to use 2 TRILLIN dollors in the war THIS year. They also said that they plan to stay in iraq for 50 MORE years, that's obsured!!! Does anyone else think that we need to get out and let the iraqies live their life the way they want to? We call our selves a free country, let them be free to do what they want! I also can't belive that the college invited the prez of iraq to come speek and then they totly trashed everything that he said on the news!! Totly not cool!

"Abu Ayyub al-Masri, called on followers to concentrate attacks on U.S. troops and Shiite militiamen, soldiers and police. In September, Masri urged every insurgent in Iraq to kill at least one American within 15 days.

The Egyptian-born Masri wanted redoubled attacks "to have a great effect on the American elections," said Abu Islam al-Arabi, a local al-Qaeda leader reached by telephone Thursday in Anbar province."

Example: If a loyal lifetime Republican, thinks for his/herself and it doesn't mesh with other Conservative Republicans, these people are suddenly referred to as RINO's (Republican in Name Only)

Seems like they don't want anyone in their party to have an opinion.

A girl of 10 was handed a £40 fine for writing on a neighbour's wall in crayon.

Shannon Smith's mother said her daughter was "scared and upset" because she had also been fingerprinted and threatened with an Asbo.
Shannon's mother, Helen Smith, 29, said her daughter had simply inscribed a small "S" in wax crayon on a wall.
Their home in Rawtenstall, Lancs, was visited by an officer at 7.30am after a complaint about graffiti.
"He then went and came back at about 8.50am and then wrote her out a £40 fine, took her fingerprints and made her late for school," Mrs Smith said. "He also said that if she had another four incidents like this then she would get an Asbo. What is wrong with a telling off, which is what they had already had from me? She is not even a troublesome child."
A boy of 10 also received a fixed penalty notice. But police defended the decision, saying they were committed to tackling reports of anti-social behaviour.

Why?

The free and reasonable speech of posters is often challenged or "removed" by the host.

The people who answer often reply with attempted control statements like, "you are supposed to form a question." or, "stop generalizing." Often the intellectually elite who fester while viewing this site come back with answers one would expect from inmates in prisons.

These types of statements run extremely counter to a society where free speech is supposed to be allowed and tolerated. Especially when it is reasonable speech filled with decent arguments.

This website and it's members have shown with absolute consistensy a leaning towards anti free speech views...especially when the speaker has a valid point that is hitting too close to home.

This site and many of it's members should represent themselves with communist themes, logos, flag pics etc...to correctly represent themselves.

Hows that for generalizing?

Commies!

I strongly urge you to read his full address before answering, as i am only going to quote couple lines. (http://www.classbrain.com/artteenst/publish/article_103.shtml)

Eisenhower built the Military-Industrial Complex to fight WW2. and he warned us that they have too much power in this world and must be controlled.

"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist."

This power has hijacked our government and used to to increase its own budget though unneeded and unwanted war.

We are becoming a source of terror in this world and creating instability in the world ware millions of people are now suffering and dieing. To make profits for America's military-industrial complex. AND WE DO NOTHING!?

If you are a Republican, which Rep. acts or talks in a way that makes you cringe for your party? If you are a Democrat, same thing, which Dem do you wish would just go away?

Sometimes I look at people in my party and wonder, are they really on the other side? Are they trying to make us look like fools? What about you? PLEASE, answer for your side, this is not about saying Rush embarrases Reps if you are Dem or Rosie for Dems if you are a Republican.

The democratic party depends on lies, and manipulation of facts to gain any strength. The current round of strength they recieved, was not from a better performance on the Democrats part, but due to the Democratic Dancing that the Republicans did once they had a total power thing going.

It is true that the other parties have problems and should not be trusted an micron. But they have not done the crimes that the democrats have done:

1) In Fresno CA the democratic party tried to trick people into signing up as Democrats. I found this out after I registared as an independant, but my registration card came back showing I was registared as a Democrat.

2) the case in #1 was the first time I succeeded in registaring without going into the registrar's office directly. For some reason, while democrats were running the office, registaring for anything other than Democrat or Republican recieved a letter saying "you were not successfully registared because of incomplete registration form

This happened in Massachusetts , my lawyer had it dismissed without prejudice once then it was appealed . It is in the district court but I have not been arrested or indicted . I thought you had to be indicted or info. from the superior court to show readiness for trial . Since I was not arrested does this mean its a misdemeanor ? Do you think the DA is looking for a plea ?

Both terms refer to a religious state, but what other differences after that?

First, there is the difference of numbers. There are fiftey-one Islamic countries (Shariah law in the constitution) worldwide, whereas there is one, or less than one Zionistist state in the world. I say "less than one" because, unlike all other fiftey-one Islamic countries that are recognized by their more tolerant/diplomatic neighbors, Israel is not recognized by many Islamic countries.

Next, there is the difference of structure. Israel is a democracy, where only one Islamic country, out of fiftey-one, is a real democracy (Turkey).

Finally, theres the two religious states have very different purposes. Judaism is a religion one is born into. Theres no proseltizying. Theres is no plans for a second zionist state, only one can exist in one place...Jerusalem.

Islamic states or Islam, on the other hand, has the stated purpose of world domination via hands on Jihad, as opposed to waiting for a rapture.

I have a sort of simple matter that I cannot seem to resolve on my own.

I had some repair work done by a roofing company. The gave me a price and scope of work and we agreed. Then I agreed to let them put a cheaper product on the roof and cut other corners. I told the guy at my house doing the work that I would be glad to use the money saved to hire them to do some other minor deck repair work as an offset. He verbally agreed.

When it was all done, the roofing company billed me for the original job plus more for the deck work.

They have now sent me a letter moving for an Order of Default.

I have offered to pay the original amount. They have not responded. I have requested that they show me any documents showing an agreement about the second job. He said if I have a lawyer I can get that from him. That sounds bogus.

I do not know what to do other than hire help from someone. Can a paralegal help?
