9/11? But, how often does the United States get attacked? The last time the U.S. was attacked on American soil was in the 1940's at pearl Harbor.

i am not going to feel beholden to big business. this present republican administration bends over backwards to the major corporations. from reagan on, the republicans have worked hard to favor business vs. the working man. why should i feel sorry for the economic welfare of these conglomerates, when they give less than a yee-haw about my social class. every tax break, regulation that favors them is for the good of the little guy? trickle down doesn't get it. do republicans think that we all are stupid? i just look stupid.

I just want to thank all who have answered me, I think I have a clear picture of what I need to do and I am not so threatend about them taking my car, I would never sell this car, it is a gem, only 58 thousand miles on it, I am 61 years old and plan to drive it till it dies, I most definately am going to fight them to the death, because noone ever contacted me and the total of the medical bills is about 1300 , one is an er charge for 675, which I paid the 50 co-pay, it is a sad thing in this country when even if you do have medical ins you never know what you really have or if they will pay, I was in a car accident so the er trip was not bogus. I hate ins companies and I hate that a medical instituation is trying to take what little I have, I called the atty and I wrote the atty to no avail, so when the dust settles, I will have my friend who is an atty deal with them , thank all of you so much!!!!!!

I need to know where i stand legally. Up until last Friday the staff at where i work (in a care home) were allowed to leave work premises on our unpaid breaks to have a cigarette. Our employer has now put a stop to this and i would like to know if that is allowed? on our contract, it states that we have to stay on work premises for the duration of our shift, but does not state staying there on our break. Our breaks are unpaid and feel that we are being treated wrongly because we smoke. Do i have any rights here? What does the law say? can my manager do this to us? i need as much info as possible please. I want to fight this. Ive been told that if we was to go outside on our break now, it is a sackable offence!

i live in new jersey and am going through a civil suit and i live with my parents, but i am over 18...a public defender won't represent me because the gross annual income of my parents is 30,000-40,000 a year....how does this make any sense that it relies on what my parents make, i do not work and my parents don't support me

Wouldn't it be more logical of the party to support staying together as Vitter and his wife did, or Ted Haggard and his wife? Generally, isn't getting married making a promise until "death do us part"?

I work in Pennsylvania with children with disabilities. I get paid only for the time I spend with clients, not for travel time or time spent doing paperwork. I've worked there for about 6 weeks, I gave them my 2 weeks notices last week. My boss is telling me that I have to redo a lot of my paperwork, which I don't get paid to do. If I don't redo all of the paperwork, can they not pay me?

Heres the short description... I was out for a week for medical reasons. I went back w/a note. A wk. later teacher informs me that they never got the note (when I know they did) I said I would get them a note in about a wk. When I had another Docs appt. 2 days later she says she needs that note or I won't be able to have LOA (the hours credited to me) at this point she has gotten derogatory, degrading and mean. We then had a loud verbal arguement. I left school, called the asst director and complained.(about my note and drug use in the school, cigarrette breaks the teacher had, ect) I go back yesterday... guess what? they found my note IN MY FILE. The supervisor then says that because I made false allegations (all of the other stuff I complained about) she will let me know by friday if she is going to terminate me. if she terminates me I lose my financial aid and I have to pay the $11 thousand to the school. Do I have any legal right 2 take them to court? Sue?

Would you support public hangings for those convicted of capital crimes? Also, do you believe that public execution is a deterent for those committing crimes? My opinion is not in this question, and will be posted later. Thank you!

As a majority (not every liberal, you know who you are) they ask an overwhelming amount of questions and respond to any of the above by bashing American Presidents, Christianity and America itself?
