Cost of homes and health care rising, wages not keeping constant with price, and savings has shrunk.

Regardless of wether I am conservative or liberal, why is this happening, is this a good track for America?

If some of them (not all!) weren't so audacious?

Imagine if they laid low, didn't play their music so loud and didn't have their flag all over there cars, and at least tried to learn some English and fit in, would Americans be somewhat more sympathetic to their plight?

Cause the way it is now, they want to have their country in ours. They want to have their cake and eat it, too. I think that is really what is pissing Americans off.

A girl on the internet has posted a personal picture of someone without their consent. They feel very violated and are very displeased, and would like to take appropriate action!

Could we send them to another country, like California and keep the same number of illegals. At least they want to be part of the USA.

And President Jackson remains a present day hero of the Democratic Party-but the massacre of the Armenians was by the World War One defunct Ottoman empire which is a totally different goverment than the present government of Turkey.

I met him just one month before he deployed (Oct 06) and we have kept in touch by instant message/email/phone. He has usually been able to contact me at least once a week, sometimes more, but we have never gone more than a couple of weeks without talking. It has been almost two months since his last phone call and I am worried that he has been injured. The only family he has is a brother in Seattle that I have never spoken to and I don't really know how I could contact him to ask if he is ok. Is is possible for me to find anything out through his army post (Fort Hood Killeen TX) Or do I have to be directly related to get any info.

Since when do former Presidents run around the globe running off at the mouth about current administrations? This is not the way ANY other former Presidents have behaved. Reagan didn't do it. Bush (1) didn't do it. Like HE'S one to talk about Bush's foreign policies. Carter never had any foreign policies of his own! This idiot need to keep his fat peanut farmer mouth shut!

I want to join the Army, i have not told my boyfriend yet but know he wont be happy. I have brung this subject up in conversation in a hypthetical manner and he was against it.

There is a big age gap between us (i'm 20 he's 34), and feel this is where the problems happen, he already has a career and i want to make one for my self. He would be happy if i moved in and he was the bread winner but this isn't me. I want to join the Army, go to far away places, work hard, and achieve something.

Sometimes i feel he's alot of hard work, i have to watch what i say so he doesn't take it the wrong way & have to make sure i text him throughout the day otherwise he gets in a strop.

I also dont like who he is when he has had a few drinks. We've only been together for three months and twice he has been extremely verbally abusive towards me after alot of drink.

All this aside i love spending with him, he's a different person. He's funny, kind & generous.

Help me!!!!

I know a guy who steals alot and someone told me that if he finds a job, because he is 19 years old, when he goes to court to be sentenced, they will not put him in jail. Is this true. Also, will they put him in jail when he goes to court in a few weeks, or will they wait until he is sentenced to put him in jail?

Howdy, i'm 17 and a couple years ago I got pulled over on my bike for not having the right relfectors, running a red light.. yada yada, got a 300 dollar fine...

I was told not to worry about it by my parentals, and I know they didnt do anything about it, and i hear that i now have a benchmark warrant? Would this stop me from getting a job?

I found this on usabackgrounds.com 'Can I see if someone has a warrant out for their arrest?

Local and state police are now prohibited from providing warrant and wanted information to private companies or individuals for commercial distribution. '

"Thirty-four percent of Americans say they belong to the "have-nots." Twenty years ago, only 17 percent of Americans defined themselves this way. What happened? "

"In 1995, 66 percent of poor households had air conditioning. Just 10 years later, in 2005, 80 percent of the poor had air conditioning at home. In 1995, 70 percent of poor households owned a car, and 27 percent owned two or more cars. By 2005, almost 75 percent owned cars, and 31 percent owned two or more. About 25 percent of the poor owned an automatic dishwasher in 1995. In 2005, more than 33 percent have a dishwasher. Microwave ownership jumped from 64 percent in 1995 to 89 percent by 2005."

"The lowest-income one-fifth of households spend, per person, as much today as the median American household in the early 1970s, after adjusting for inflation."

The party used to tell me Reagan was smart and government was bad. Now, they support spying on U.S. citizens who haven't even been accused in a court of law. They support massive non-military spending growth in socialist programs like Medicare, and they're using the unconstitutional Dept. of Education to push a national agenda to influence the youngest among us.

Now we're supposed to choose between gun-grabbing Giuliani, Universal Medical Corporate Welfare by Romney, Lobbying Fred, or Health Nazi Huckabee?

...What Happened?
