I saw a picture today of hispanic students in california raiseing the mexico flag on their school flag pole. they placed the mexican flag on top of the american flag and turned the american flag upside down.....Why do they not understand....I mean that is awsome to be a proud mexican but if you are goin to disrespect AMERICA then go back to MEXICO! I would just like to know...Why are you here if you like mexico so much? and why do you do those things? It hurt me and my husband alot my husband is in the united states military and we are currently stationed overseas where we see alot of deployed soldiers every day. Why would you do that to America?????

After all the government knows what's best for you, so when they pass the law that forbids you to smoke, eat crappy food, cuss, etc. Just thank the great leaders and shut up.

entered the war.

I do know at the end of the war they had the 3rd biggest navy in the world (distant behind US).

Would Britain have been able to hang on without those 2-3 years of Canadian resources?

Ok so I know a wholesale food distribituter that is doing bad things. They are rubbing expiration dates off of products, selling expired canned items, telling people that the expiration date is actually the date the product was made and that it is still good. They even tell their customers sometimes that the product was labeled with the wrong expiration date. They will even sell dented cans to people at a really low price. So, how would I report this without them knowing I was the one that reported it?

I did a one time authorization to "X" Satellite Provider with my debit card, on spouse's account, my name not on contract with provider. Spouse got behind on bill, and "X" went back to my debit card for the amount. Spouse is not on my checking account, never has been. We are in Texas, and "X" company refused to reverse charges. My bank states this will be fraudulent activity, but my concern is that I did authorize a one-time transaction.. I have filed police report, and fraud report from bank. How long does it usually take to free up my account, and what right did "X" have to debit my account of which I am sole owner? Spouse has only survivorship on bank account.
Also, "X" states that since we are married, I am responsible for his account, therefore assuming that my sole-owned checking account belongs to spouse.

I would really appreciate any advise from someone whose been in the situation, or deals with employment law.
I travelled to London, from Glasgow this week on business.
My normal working day is 9.30am-5.30pm.
However, I had to check in @ 6.00am (for my flight to London at 7.00am), and on the return my flight was delayed by quite a bit, and I did not land until nearly midnight on Tuesday.
(In total I spent 8 hours extra than I was being paid for)
My work advised me I could take "travelling time" back, but only 1 hour, I still had to be in work on Wednesday morning @ 10.30am.

Is this right?
I know that the flight being delayed was not they're fault, but I was still on company business, and so on company time?
Am I entitled to anything?

Thanks for any advise

what recourse does a friend have if she was suppose to be paid weekly in CASH by her boss. She was a bartender at a nightclub. She had no time card or anything to show when she worked. She just worked every weekend all night pretty much. To be honest it was pretty much under the table. She was suppose to claim her taxes on her own. He had no hand in any of that. I doubt he even took her social security number.

Well recently he has kept putting her off for a few weeks. He now owes her 300 dollars and is refusing to pay her. Whenever she goes to pick up the money he conviently forgets and isn't there. Or one time he had the audicty to pretend he didn't see her and drive away. He has since fired her and the only place she can get him is the club which I'm sure she is banned from.

Are there any agencys she could involve that could help her get paid? Or is she out of luck?

Now the agency SITE can claim all "their" intelligence has been seriously compromised and it can't/won't be held responsible for any misinformation or tainted evidence.

Would you favor one candidate over another if that candidate had a solid plan for switching the economy away from gasoline to a hydrogen based economy?

Given the research and development breakthroughs in recent years, its entirely possible for the switch to happen over a 10 year period.

So would you favor one candidate over another if it ment getting away from big oil companies?

"I think Mr. Bush, if he wants his party to win the next elections, there are cheaper ways...and ways to go about this. I can very well give him a few ideas so that the people vote for him. He should respect the American people. They should not bug the telephone conversations of their citizens. They should not kill their sons and daughters of the American nation. They should not squander the taxpayers' money and give them to weapons companies. If -- and also help the people, the victims of Katrina. People will vote for them, if they do these things."

They do exactly what which they accuse Christians of doing.

I.e. they put belief ahead of reality.

They believe that Marxism will work if we can just get it right this time… even though it never works.

Even when it is historically & demonstratively destructive they still cling to big government, big spending and graduated taxation to help others.


You must acknowledge that just because a politician calls himself a Republican it does not mean they are a conservative.

And cut off at 60?

I couldn't vote until I was 21, and I'm over 60, so it would shut me out. But is 18 way too young to have a handle on what you should know to be voting?
When the Constitution was being written there was a great deal of discussion as to who should vote (and women were never excluded, that was done later by the states). It was a very near thing that it did not happen that only property owners could vote. Isn't 18 too young> I mean, look at how bonky some of the answers on Yahoo Answers are.
