The item in question was a musical instrument I had advertised online. Buyer was happy with the item when they viewed it & immediately paid me cash for it. There was no Bill of Sale asked for or given. They now say that they could have bought this same item considerably cheaper somewhere else & want their money back. If I do not want to refund it, they are threatening to take me to "small claims court". This was a private sale. I do not sell items as a business. Am I obligated legally to refund the money. I feel they got a great deal & for some reason they just need their cash back. Thanks.

I've heard that they want to change the legal driving age for people born in 1992 to 21... is this true? If so has it happened already?

News today: US, Iraqi civilian deaths fall sharply

Is the Democrat's advice any good. Their goal appears to be elected and not win the war and bring stability to the Middle East.

Hillary is the same one that voted in support of those attacking our troops, Adm. 2934 ( see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhsIy463238 ), and did her best to indicate Petraeus was a liar without any proof, following the mantra of moveon.org lamers.

Just like her past mistakes of voting to go to war, she once again evaluates a military effort wrong. She certainly doesn't have the ability to run the military and shouldn't be in a position to do such.

It looks like someone is going to have to backtrack. Watch closely because if they don't backtrack and tell the truth that the surge is working, we know they don't have America's wellbeing in mind but their own political goals.

I went to an event (non military) and two people had black military uniforms on. No jackets, black pants, black button up shirt with ensignia and one with a cadet hat the other with a beret. Is this an actual branch or a special costume. Also where can I get it? The ultimate deliverable for this question is a link to a place where I can buy the black uniform.

when the SwiftBoat Veterans were lionized for questioning Kerry's purple heart? Same deal. Personal attacks for political gain. Why does the party that does it automatically make it right or wrong?

I am a Michigan resident, but I currently reside in New Mexico (due to military). What the hell is going on up there? I haven't lived there since 2004 and all I read is that it is going downhill.....FAST!
I know is that my property tax (Trenton, MI) is already sky high ($3500 per year); I still own a house there. I would love to sell the house, but all I hear is that the market is horrible and it will never sell. So I am going to rent it out instead.
I have heard that Michigan is having a tax raise? On what? Sales or property?
My prayers to everyone in Michigan!

General Petraeus a Sycophant Savior, saying that "Petraeus demonstrated that he is a political general of the worst kind—one who indulges in the politics of accommodation ..."

The dictionary defines "sycophant" to mean: a self-seeking, servile flatterer; fawning parasite. Wow, so they even called him a "parasite" This seems to be far worse than what MoveOn had to say about the guy.

Will we hear an outcry by Conservatives condemning this magazine. Will Congress vote to condemn this magazine?

are they hypocrites if they don't???

The Tories plan to bribe the electorate is unbelievable,

At time when the national health service needs more money, they give it away.

At a time their prison service needs more money, they give it away.

At a time when the armed forces need more money, they give it away

At a time when the country needs affordable housing, they give it away.

It doesn't take a mathematician to work out by making all the cuts the Tories are promising the wealthy will become wealthier and the gap between the poor and the rich will get even wider.

These politicians we have today stealing the future of our children and their children.

Are you really going to vote or send a message to all the politicians that people will not listen to their lies, and vote them.

My friend is being held in a jail in Pennsylvania and after his hearing on Wednesday, the state of Virginia will have the right to have him extradited there. They have to pick him up. What is there time limit to pick him up? My friend said it was ten days and after that they would have to file an extension and the max total is 30 days from the day that they are allowed to pick him up.

OK, I know it is not popular to be against health care for children but I want to ask a few questions here. How many think the democratic congress is trying to whittle away at the number of uninsured to reduce the overall cost of a comprehensive health care plan. That is to say, if I can get $35B for S Chip, that is $35 B less that the Hillary plan will cost in the future. The more Dems can put insurance costs for middle class people into other programs, the more likely the american public will accept a comprehensive insurance program.

I am all for funding health benefits for those who cannot afford it. This program being pushed by the Democrats now will pay for health insurance for families making up to $80,000 per year. Isn't that really just taking the burden off of business and putting it on the taxpayer in the long run? What employer is going to offer health insurance if the govt is going to do it?

Are we already a military industrial theocracy? ... are decisions made in government already decided by political pressure from big business? ... more to the point, has big business gotten key people elected to power positions, so we will go to war whenever Lockheed or Haliburton need to make lots of money

how long will we allow them to use the excuse that our military 'signed up' for this ... a standing army promoting capitalism halfway around the world

... and isn't this exactly what George Washington warned us was the only thing that could bring down our great nation

is there any way we can return to the principles our great nation was founded on?

The 360 is having some poeblem wich they refuse to realize. The failure rate is over 33%. Why cant the govt make Microsoft to call out the product?

Halo 3 is in the same way.

This may look to be a video game question, but is actually about wether or not MS can be sued or forced to recall

As a conservative, I am truly apposed to this and what they're trying to do. I hope that other conservatives will be willing to speak out against this realizing the further division that this will create within the Republican party. We need this like we need a hole in the head. I believe in a higher power, but c’mon guys, let’s keep these people from destroying us.


A group of about 50 evangelical Christian leaders – the James Dobson crowd – met in Salt Lake City over the weekend. It looks like they're on the verge of deciding to support a third-party candidate if Rudy Giuliani gets the GOP nomination.

To my fellow conservatives: Will you support what they’re proposing, or are you willing to fight against the division that they’ll be creating?

I mean, the military is very effecient, they seem to have all the answers. They have a manual that spells everything out. No grey areas here. So how about it, is a Military Dictatorship what we need?
Also, I kind of like those sexy uniforms we would all have to wear.

I was going through some history research and online resources, and personally, I suspect that if President Bush hadn't grounded all air traffic, there would have been more hijacked plane crashes.

Could this be possible?

There are plenty of drug addicts who became addicted as children. Do we really want to say that it's okay to enslave America's children? Do we really want to say that it's okay to enslave americans of any age? Didn't we already have that discussion?
