I would hear nothing but neocons whining and groaning about Al Gore winning the Nobel Peace Prize?

Who did you think they should give it to, George Bush??? Because he's such a peace-lover???

I'm looking into being a corrections officer...My parents advise me not to however because they get sued constantly by the inmates and risk losing everything. I've never heard of this and you would think there is something in place to prevent that. Any info?

What a great American. Al Gore joins the ranks of other great men who have won the Nobel Peace Prize like Jimmy Carter.

Can a dectective threaten you by saying he is going to go to the county grand jury, and get you indicted if you deny the charges that are brought against you on a crime you know that you did not commit? because i am currently going through this process right now and i see my lawyer at 2pm tday and want to know if they are allowed to do that or not.

Choosing this time in our history to censure Turkey over the Armenian genocide that happened in 1915 during WWI RIGHT NOW seems like a trivial event UNTIL you consider this....The Lib cowards in Congress don't have the cajones to just say, "OK let's not fund the Iraq war,"...which they CAN do. But they know that the vast majority of Americans will kick them out of office.

So instead, they dredge up this old controversy and choose NOW to P/O Turkey. 70% of our supplies for the war go through Turkey. Our water supply goes through Turkey. Turkey has already been irritable over the activity of the Kurds on their border with Iraq. Why would any SANE politician want to put our already shaky relationship with Turkey at risk RIGHT NOW, unless their sole purpose was to purposefully want them to break off relationships with us and thus compromise our position in Iraq.

What COWARDS!!

If so, what sources did you use to become informed? Many people I know talk about the war but have little real knowledge of the Middle East and its history with the United States.

My big problem with the award is they gave it to a heavy polluter, one who has a highly polluting jet and the most energy inefficient home in Tennessee. Don't you think it would be more effective to give it to a person who walked the walk, and not told everyone else to do the right thing?

I think it would be a great idea. Think of the money saved on enforcement of a law that will be striked down. Also think of the victims of an unjust law being saved the money, time and hassle of fighing it.
Laws should still be able to be challeged later after a curtain amount of time has passed like 4 years.

Don't give me a stupid answer like 'because the Constitution prohibits it' I get that all the time. The Constitution can be ammended.

I have generally found them fairly OK and reasonable, despite having major problems with some of the laws they are tasked with enforcing.

There have been a few odd ones who have exhibited bizarre behaviour, such as one a few years ago who said my name no less than 15 times a few years ago when telling me off for speeding (Mr ... blah blah Mr ....blah blah Mr ....
blah blah Mr ....blah blah Mr ....)

What is your opinion? Any funny anecdotes of getting "one over on them" (in reasonable circumstances)

The key thing is to be polite and honest in your dealings with them "Yes I agree I was braking the law, but in this situation obeyance of the law benefits nobody" kind of honesty.

http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Rasmussen_Polls_Rigged_against_Ron_Paul_unbelievable

Wonder why Ron Paul is lagging in "scientific" polls and Mike Huckabee is jumping ahead? Wonder no more. It turns out that Rasmussed asks voters in their phone polls if they want Giuliani, Thompson, McCain, Romney, Huckabee, or "other." Only if the respondant says "other" is Ron Paul offered as a choice. "Scientific" polls? Try "rigged"!

I always knew they were trying to sway public opinion!!

But we all knew this all along?

Didn't we?

After their tenure in office Nixon wrote books, Ford played golf, Reagan, well, he was sick soon after he left office, Bush, the other won, hunkered down in Maine. Carter has spent the balance of his career helping hundreds of causes, Clinton established a vital world reknown Aids organization and encouraged America's youth to become involved, Gore, an activist for conservation. Um, why do you think there is such a vast difference in how ACTIVE on behalf of causes Democrats are when compared to Republicans?
