Politics & Government - 16 October 2007

I borrowed $1500 from a man for a house payment. He cared a lot about me. I didn't pay him back for 6 months before he decided to just make it a gift. I didn't really accept the gift, I said i'd pay him but I have not paid him. Times are/were tough. He kept saying take your time.

Anyways three months before he let me borrow $1500, I let someone have $400 for a trip from FL to NYC. I also let this someone have $50 for a video game AFTER I borrowed the $1500. Well.... I felt bad for him. He has had a drug problem in the past.

The man that borrowed $1500 found out about this and got very upset and called me a user and said I took advantage of him. It all started when I said I wanted to buy a WII in front of him. I wasn't going to buy it, I just wanted to jeeze!

Now he thinks I am a user and I don't take insults well so it spiraled out of control. Hes judging me and using his own fears against me. I hate him now and resent him.

for me it would deffinately have to be all the nonsense about drugs. i mean yea some have killed people in the past... but i think that if they were legalized the death rates would drop severly, because you could put dosage labels on the package (much unlike now obviously). the ingredients could be labeled on the packaging, so if you happen to be ellurgic (sp) you could find out before winding up in an emergency room. tax money could be made and used for good purposes. less people would end up in prison. and the billions made would end up in the hands of someone more trustworthy than criminals.

im sure theres more important rules to be looked over, but this is the only coming to me right now. anyways what rules are you tired of?

the hypothesis is backed up by no experimental data, right now, it is nothing more than just that: a hypothesis.

do the conservatives on here who keep copying and pasting his speech word for word (about ocean salinity causing the warming) actually know this, or have they just been in a such a rush to find some scientist who supports their cause that they don't care much whether or not the claim actually has any scientific credibility?

It would just make sense. Intervention is only for addicts. There ought to be something we would do with someone who's saying he's going to commit a crime.

what are your views on statutory rape? and should it be legal?

this is based on a question we were told to debate in LAW CLASS.
we have to debate both sides and i need opinions. this isnt meant to be perverted.

and in the past in most cultures people married young women (12-15)year old

i know its odd but i really need something to debate with.

Do you want all the illegal immigrants to migrate illegally to your country???
People are always complainin' about the attitude of the LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZEN towards ILLEGAL immigrants.
Wouldn't you feel the same way if this problem we have in the U.S.A. was the same problem you had in your country?

Should we leave Iraq?

If we do, what do you think the second and third order effects will be?

Do you believe that withdrawl from Iraq will end terrorism?

Do you know what a Caliphate is?

About the same percentage of Democratic women support her, at least those who vote. This week is her pandering for Democratic women week. She plans to spend some time in the future courting the Republican women.

What can she offer us that will change our minds and make us want to vote for her? Any ideas out there?

I can't think of anything.

Gen. Abizaid on Iraq War: "Of Course It's About Oil"
A former top US general has admitted the war in Iraq was about oil. Former CENTCOM Commander General John Abizaid told an audience at Stanford University “Of course it's about oil, we can't really deny that." At the same forum Thomas Friendman said “We've treated the Arab world as a collection of big gas stations. Our message to them is: Guys, keep your pumps open, prices low, be nice to the Israelis and you can do whatever you want out back." General Abizaid's comment comes one month after former Federal Reserve Chair Alan Greenspan wrote that “the Iraq War is largely about oil."

A personal friend of President Bush secured an oil deal with the Kurdish regional government in Iraq. The Texas-based company Hunt Oil signed the deal in September. Hunt CEO Ray Hunt has been a key Republican fundraiser. He sits on the board of directors for Halliburton and was appointed to the Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board by President Bush.

remember the torture policies he accepted which broke the geneva convention? he put the troops in prison but he gave them confirmation to treat them that way. i was head of the security council, i'll force my way in to the white house and put him on trial for war crimes. i believe in pure justice. just because he has great power doesnt mean he can abuse it!
Your opinion?

Hi, about 10 years ago i was arrested for burglary. I was under 18 at the time. I was never fingerprinted and i never went before a judge. I had a meeting with a counselor who decided that i should do community service and pay restitution. Does that mean that i am convicted in the "employment application" sense?
