Discrimination against people for race and religion is wrong so why isn't wrong to discriminate against people who have bad credit. People can be overlooked for jobs, loans, and insurance just for having bad credit. Why couldn't you sue someone if you knew you didnt get a loan or had a higher insurance rate? If you knew you didnt get that same loan or insuance rate because of skin color or religion. You could sue. Just curious about what everyone thought

has anyone seen the new tv show THE ACADEMY? My question is, is the real life police academy as rough as the one that they show on television or do they turn it up a notch on the show for good television?

I see Liberals on here and they seem to defend and embrace all sorts of vile and deviant behavior. I just want to know - does the FAR LEFT think ANYTHING is immoral?

**Moderate Democrats - this does not include you.

I am being deployed to Afghanistan as part of task force Phoenix, in early Jan. 08. I have heard that the Internet is available to solders there, in wireless tents and in some cases even in their barracks. I was wondering are you available to use your own laptop and assesses sites that are non “.gov” ? I ask for Internet banking and video conferencing with family reasons.

Personally,the ACLU scares me more. Any organization who supports the people they do - Pedophiles, murderers...
In a perfect society I wish there were no extremists in either party, but that will never happen. It seems it comes down to the lesser of two evils.

if none of the important issues are being talked about? I mean, all the candidates are talking about is the war and health insurance. No one is talking about what is important to young people, yet they want to us to get out and vote in record numbers. Am I the only one who's confused.

The American people like most other people in the world are quite nice. Why do they put up with such a fear ridden administration and believe all the lies and propaganda it pushes out? Is this because the media now chooses who wins elections in the U.S. or because Americans have a poor knowledge of world politics or just complacency?

The Communists seek to abolish ALL private property and create a classless society. Certain conservatives here like to equate the Democrats with the Communists, but I have yet to see any evidence that the Democrats want to abolish ALL private property (or create a classless society, for that matter). After all, I can't help but think that if that were the case, Mr. Capitalism himself, Rupert Murdoch wouldn't have ever supported the likes of Hillary Clinton or Tony Blair in Britain.

Answer: The Mara Salvatrucha. (MS13) The most dangerous gang in El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala and the United States with over 800,000 members worldwide.

"It has been estimated that 80% of the cars on the road in El Salvador were stolen from someone in the US. They have even been known to accept handguns as payment during drug transactions."

"El Salvador is known for something else besides paramilitary guerilla peasants turned tattoo covered gang members. El Salvador is also known for its Death Squads."

the 2008 elections being the last ones? I love power and if I get enough truly stupid people to vote for me and put me in the White House, I will want to remain ruler for life. You good little government-schooled, brain-dead liberals wouldn't mind that now, would you. And don't you think that freedom of speech, the right to own guns, having an uncontrolled press, etc. are things that we would be better off without?

From everything the facts suggest, not NBC, CNN, ABC who obviously have ulterior motives shown by the coverage of the last presidential race what did Bush lie about? We know Iraq had chemical weapons, he used them on the Kurds. We know France and Germany were abusing the oil for food program. He told us things that the UN security council told him. IF the data is flawed how would any leader know? And last, last time I checked attacking a US military installation IS a declaration of war. Iraq fired many times at fighters patrolling the UN sanctioned no fly zone. This is a Problem that Clinton should have dealt more strongly with. It was a cauldron that finally came to head after a Presidential change.

Please only serious replies.

I had my used pick up parked in a parking lot near a busy street with a For Sale sign on it with my phone number. There were several other vehicles for sale parked there as well. There was no "towing" sign that I saw when I parked it there. It sat in the lot for over 3 weeks. I checked it every week. Then one day it was gone, and there were new "towing" signs put up in the lot. I called the company and in the morning the next day and was told the charges for towing, "gate fee" and storage for the 3 days they had it amounted to over $350.00!! I was flat broke (that's why I was selling it) and the truck is only worth, maybe, $1,000.00. A month later, I just got a phone call from the towing company saying that they are sending my account to collections for their fees, unless I sign over the title to the truck to them. Is this something I could contest in small claims court?

This is my first semester with my major being criminal justice. I am currently taking intro to CJ and Criminology along with Sociology. Does anyone have any tips or advice on how to study for these three classes? I read the chapters and write down the vocab. They are all very similar and sometimes can be overwhelming b/c there is so much information thrown at you at one time. Any help is appreciated :)

Thanks!

I agree that he should have never done that to her, but he said he did it in return because she was kicking and punshing him. My real question is that he was taken to jail and there they said they were going to put him in prison. The bail is $10,000 dollars, but we don't have that much money to bail him out, what could we do so they won't take him to prison? Please help

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6986536.stm (for the Question Quote above)

In Oct 2003, A banner proclaiming "mission accomplished" on the aircraft carrier where President George W. Bush declared an end to major combat in Iraq came back to haunt him as the death toll rises. That being the case -

i) WHY did US delay "withdrawal of British troops from Basra was delayed by five months due to political pressure from the US, a UK military commander in Iraq has said. Brig James Bashall told the Daily Telegraph the exit from Basra Palace was held up because the "Americans asked us to stay for longer". UNQUOTE above link)

ii) What did the American Commander-in-Chief MEAN when he declared an end of major combat in Iraq, yet felt the need YET AGAIN to persuade UK troops to stay in the Theatre?

I find it very encouraging to see Senior Officers wearing the Uniform putting thier head above the parapet and speaking out for the troops they command. Great morale booster Sir

people who continually say that feel the same way about Patrick Kennedy, or Robert Kennedy Jr. for that matter, and their personal forays into drug addiction. I don't hear anyone calling on them to apologize for wasting taxpayer time and money while they were stoned out of their minds on illegal drugs, while serving members of American Government. Here's two liberal icons who have widely reported and historically noted drug abuse histories. There's been so much written about these two and their wanton drug abuse that it's far, far worse than overtaking a prescription drug, but I'd be willing to bet that every liberal on this site has forgiven them, and will consider this post an atrocity for even mentioning their abusive drug histories. Is this just More Liberal hypocricy?

It said "Bush will never be MY President" and i thought to myself, how can this be possible? You are a citizen of the United States of America and the President is your leader, regardless of who it is. I never said Bill Clinton wasn't my president, because he was, even though he sucked (which is my opinion and i respect yours). I believe verbal abuse is going far enough, but treason is UNACCEPTABLE....your thoughts?
