Politics & Government - 9 October 2007

When a Muslim commits an act of terror it is done in the name of his religion. If a person who happens to be a Christian commits an act of terrorism it is not usually done in the name of Christianity (like Timmothy McVeigh).

Mainstream Muslims do not condemn acts of Muslim terrorism. Mainstream Christians are the first to condemn acts of terrorism perpetrated by so-called Christians because they know that they are not real Christians.

Is this a valid point?

Say you have a diagnosed mental illness, and after intense psychological testing the courts were advised that you were NOT a danger to the public, but if you were sent to jail you would be a serious danger to yourself. Say they sent you to jail anyways, for a short term of like 30 days, and you dont eat or drink for several days....what would the jail do?

Describe a typical day in your job.

and if you don't mind, what salary do you make? or at least, what is the average salary for a probation officer?

I know that you can get a job as a probation officer with just a bachelors degree, but are there any other certifications required?

any additional info would be helpful

thanks :)

I have a condition in one of my eyes that reduces my vision to 20/200 in that eye. I can see fine out of my other eye and I have been driving with a New York license for 7 years. I recently moved to California and their state laws require 20/40 vision in both eyes to obtain a driver's license. I would like to know if I am able to get a license or if I have to do anything specific to obtain one.

I have worked at my current employer for 4 years. Very good attendence, very good performance, top notch employer. Two months ago I was the victim of an auto accident. In that time I have missed about 100 hours from work. Missed work was due to doctors appt., physical therapy appts., psychologist appts., all of which I had a doctors note each time. The other times I was out was from not being able to get outta the bed from my lower back pain. All this they are aware of and they haven't said anything to me other than I hope you get to feeling better. Then they had a meeting with me today & wanted to know what's going on & what can be done to help my production. They commented that I have always been a great employee but now it's going down hill and they claim they understand because of the tragic accident I was in but the way they sounded is I better shape up or they'll ship me out. They said I need to get with HR & show them all my medical notes. I am scared. Can they fire me?

That was in the 70's and we as anation were shocked.

Now lets Fast Forward:

Bill Clinton has oral in the oval office with an intern pretty much ruining her career and everyone says he's a great guy.

Ron Paul is winning the black vote in New Hampshire,and is rising amongst Republicans,Independents and Democrats.

Is this an indication that voters are beginning to shift away from the same old formulaic candidates that have done such a wonderful job of putting the screws to the United States?

By the way,I'm not a Paul supporter,just amazed at how he's getting more popular the closer the primaries gat.

I have a friend who is married to an illegal immigrant and he was just popped by the US Border Patrol in Rochester, NY. Now, he is being held at a detention facility in Batavia, NY. (Buffalo area). We have exhausted all avenues in trying to set a bond for him and his bond is 2500 USD but, these people are wanting houses, land and what not that exceeds the bond limit and this immigrant does not have a spot on his record. He is married and does have a child in the US. These people are not releasing any form of information to the aide of his release. We do not have 3000 + USD plus the bond amount to cover this. If there is a bondsman out there, please give me some kind of insight as to how we can get him released. We were told not to go there because they may in turn "still" not give any information. We are stuck in a rock and a hard place and we called all the necessary phone numbers. His wife is ready to commit suicide because she cannot get a hold of him. I need answers, please.

Illegal immigrants get employment while people who are born here are subjected to back ground check(s), It's a disturbing trend and If you have a minor conviction you are bar from employment.

In detail could someone explain who the superior between the Navy Seals and Marine Force Recons/Battallion Marines. I have read up and found that both training is similiar except Seals are highly training in swimming and Recons; reconnaissance. Post your opinion on all special forces if you want but I'm more interested in the Seals/Marines.

Ronald Reagan, conservative hero, got our country into multi- billion dollar debt. Bill Clinton balanced the budget. Bush has gotten us back into multi-trillion dollar debt. Which one of these guys was fiscally conservative?

The purpose of Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week is as simple as it is critical: to confront the two Big Lies of the political left: that George Bush created the "war on terror" and that global warming is a greater danger to Americans than global jihad and Islamic supremacism.

Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week is a protest against the censorship that has come to America, and whose chief enforcer is the progressive left.
