me and my boyfriend were in a car accident a little over a month ago and 2 people died from it. as far as we know they say it was my boyfriends fault of the accident and he may be charged with criminally neglegent homicide but he can't be charged with anything until the toxicology report comes back which he isn't worried about that. people have been saying that the motorcycles were going way over the speed limit when we collided but then some people say that they were doing the speed limit what do you think will happen to my boyfriend? Also he is a minor.

Obviously not, she needs sperm from a man. Even those with a low intelligence quotient understand that a human is 50% mother and 50% father... EQUAL parts (wow, equal, check that out). So should a woman go to prison for aborting 50% of his child? Isn't that equal? What about a man's choice for her to abort? Why isn't that equal?

I know why, because it's not a matter of EQUALITY, it's a matter of ethics. (Ethics are not about fair or equality, they are about what is right and wrong.)

But I'd like to see 'why' you think it's equal or not equal or do you agree that it's not about 'fair' it's about "ethics".

National ID Cards are supposed to be in effect nationally May 11 2008, they will contain all your financial, medical, criminal, birth, information. It will replace all previous drivers licenses, and state ID cards. If you want to go to the doctor, you will have to have this card, if you need to buy groceries you will have to have this card. You will be made to carry it where ever you go, and use it for everything from paying your rent to buying a soda. They plan to take our wonderful country of USA and turn it into the NAU by connecting the US, Mexico, and Canada. We will combine all military and financial means. They will do away with the dollar, it will be the Amero. The Trans Texas Corridor will contect Mexico to Canada by running through the midwest on I35 (which by the way is already owned by Mexico), and it then will be patrolled by mexican troops. Directive 51, in the event of another attack, or financial crash,or natural disaster (Katrina); bush will stay president 4ever.http://youtube.com/watch?v=mMs733gFg-I

Do you think the reason there isn't any armed revolts in the US is because on some level all people in the US are content with living there? Or do you think the US is just good at controlling it's people?

Repulicans believe in family, self-reliance, taming of the appetites, in other words everything right and good.
Democrats believe in abortion, gay rights, and if it feels good do it. Democrats are so evil!!!

It is alleged in a case that Jed negligently failed to yield the right of way as he drove a car into an intersection, with the result that Milly, a pedestrian, was injured. Citing the statement of an eye wit­ness that he did, in fact, yield the right of way, Jed moves for an order of summary judgment. Milly, however, resists the motion. She asserts that the witness did not have a good view of the intersec­tion. Will the motion be granted?

Hi. I am 16 and i'm a High School Sophomore (10th grade). I've been dreaming of being a pilot in USAF (Fighter if possible). But i heard the requirement is to have a good 20/20 eye vision. Unfortunately I don't :(

My left eye is normal but my right eye definitely is not good. I don't know what's my right eye problem exactly is cuz I havent go to the doctor and check it out yet. But it's definitely not 20/20.

I heard that even if you dont have 20/20 eye vision but u can still have it fixed by Surgery or some kinda Laser Surgery and still qualified to be a pilot. Is that true?

I really need lots of advice in this area at this point so I know what I should do in my High School years.

Thank you!

About a month after I moved to Cali, I got into a car accident and was written up for not having a valid Cali license. I really didn't know I even had to get one (I'm here to work for a year and then law school, but then I'm probably moving back to Ohio) Anyways, I have court date on the 15th of this month and now have a Cali driver's license. The officer mentioned that it wasn't a big deal at the time and that I just need to get one by the court date. Does this mean I can just show them that I have one now and not have the misdemeanor on my record? Do I have to plead at all? What would I plead? And how long shoudl I expect to be at court for?

Any information/suggestions would help. I will likely call the court tomorrow for more information. Thanks in advance.

John Hagee, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and a huge chunk of the christian right are always talking about how the end of the world is near (that it's already begun) and that Jesus is coming to save them.

Do you believe this despite the fact that numerous christian pundits of the past also predicted the end of the world within their lifetimes and were proven wrong?

Doesn't this end of world talk ever get old?

There was the claim that we didn't know until the second tower was hit, but for 15 minutes or so, somebody knew about all the cell phone calls made from the air. Can someone show me an example of any other tower that pulverized from a pancake collapse or give a historical example of any plane in history that took a high rise to the ground by crashing into it?

1- Despite our many problems, the U.S.A. is a great nation. (You can disagree with the politics, people, leasders, places in this country)

2-Islamofascism is a real threat to America and the world. Capitulating to it, waving the white flag and saying that we don’t need to have a war on terrorism to combat their radical ideology is dangerous. They won’t back down whether we’re fighting a war on terrorism or not. (It's alright to disagree with the strategies used to combat Islamofascsim)

3- The borders must be tightly sealed from the threats of terrorism, drug or human smuggling, and illegal criminals who might come here to commit more crime and abuse our systems.

These issues that I’ve just mentioned aren’t liberal vs. conservative. They’re AMERICAN ISSUES!
It just so happens that for the most part, the conservatives have been the people to address these problems with aggressive and good solutions.

I would love to know the basis of all these hateful things said about illegals and mexicans. The companies who hire illegals need to be discussed, instead of throwing slander at people trying to make a wage. Social Security gathered by our government by illegals will never be returned. They work for less money; allowing homes to be built at less cost, families to have care for children and elderly, etc. Economy gains more than loses from the illegal immigrants, and our government knows that. I would love to know where these facts come from, but with each smart comment made on behalf of anti-illegal immigration there are 10 hateful and ignorant ones. Please don't call me unpatriotic, because it is such a cop-out. Thinking outside the box could due some people good. Before people come to conclusions... no, I don't believe every illegal should get amnesty, and I'm not some bleeding heart leftist, communist, etc. I just call to question what people think they know.

The fundamental idea that politics and religion should not intersect or overlap is flawed. It sounds great in theory; however, in reality I would suspect that most people do not divide their worldview into secular and sacred. For better or for worse, the marriage of politics and religion will not be undermined by political correctness or even the laws governing the seperation of church and state.
We as a society must be mature enough to realize that although we all come to the table of brotherhood, we all do not sit on the same side. All Christians, Muslims, and Jews did not come to the table of America via the same journey, parentage, cultural perspectives, or starting points. Naturally we will not all share the same views on social or political issues. How someone understands his or her faith and how a person uses his or her vote are part of a total picture of how we as a collective people create our world views. The IRS should not seek to antogonize churches for participating in the democratic process. Yes, the church is an institution that is a community of faith, but the church is also an institution that is a community of concerned citizens who usually share the same or simular values and worldviews.

What people vote for or against is usually an extension of what they believe on a sacred level.

Therefore, I do not see anything wrong with like-minded people who happen to belong to the same institution discussing and exercising their right to vote for or endorse a particular candidate.
