Nancy Pelosi and the rest, are trying to pass a resolution condeming the Ottoman empire for the massacre of Armenians over 100 years ago. The Turkish poeple are angry about this. We have decent relations with Turkey now. Why are they trying to hurt our Relations with them?

notice how Iran is on one side, and Syria on the other side of the southern border of Turkey, where it meets Iraq.
Now notice, how easily accessible UAE is for naval supply ships, or even Israel or Egypt to Iraq.
If you were a Gneral wanting to win a war, and considered Iran and Syria enemies, would you squeeze your supplies between them, making the supply route easily accessible to enemy combatants??

California codes particularly. My maid drove it into the pool about a week ago, and I figure it's pretty well shot by now. So instead of dragging out what is probably a worthless hunk of steel, I though I would stock the pool with some nice fish. I think the car would make for a welcome environment for them.
But I don't want the city coming after me for some violation.

Not all Germans agreed with Hitler but, many of those same people died during the initial bombing and the following invasion of Germany regardless.

There will come a time when we will have shrug off the chains of political correctness and fight a war the way war must be fought and many will die, both “radical” and “moderate” Moslems alike.

Or do you believe that Jihad and the subjugation of infidels are inherent to Islam and it is the teachings of Mohammad itself that drive the radicals?

if companies nowadays no longer offer pension plans and most people do not know how to invest their 401k?

Even if you do invest, it doesn't always offer a high return.

You might say, "Well everyone needs to save their money". That is easier said then done with the high costs of living.

And Social Security will be dry by the time I will need it.

So those of you Con's who are against government "handouts," what are your plans to make ends meet when you are retired? Are you already wealthy and aren't worried about it? Do you plan on working until the day you die or will receiving government handouts then be okay?

I just want to get emancipated so that I can start college. I cant do that while im still under my mother. PLEASE HELP!

I went to court recently and received a judgement against me. I am ordered to pay now, but can't, as I now am a single mom to 3 kids, jobless (but receive just enough child support to almost pay my necessary bills), and just plain broke! So, yesterday, I get a letter in the mail from the debt collectors that said they are going to use the sheriff's intervention. What can they do? Take me to jail? Hit my bank account that has all of $20 in it? I called them and the collector said they have to have a minimum of $100 per month, which I am unable to do (I asked if they'd take $20/month, but they said no), so I asked what they could do, and he said he could not give me legal advice of any kind. So I am so scared that I could go to jail and be away from my kids! I am trying to go to school so I am eventually able to pay off my debts that I so stupidly made for myself (poor decision-making when I was young- too many credit card offers tempting me). HELP!

A UPS driver recently cut open the envelope that he left on our steps and stole cash. We know he did it, because it was cut open along the bottom corner, and left at our door. Without a signature, a driver MAY leave package at HIS/HER discretion. This would be foolish, since the envelope was clearly empty, and clearly had been tampered with. Any theif who would be lucky enough to happen along in the 45 minutes that the package was on our steps, would have taken the envelope, not cut it open. The driver COULDNToverlook this damage and lack of weight, if it had happened prior to their carrying it to my door by hand.
I called the police, and UPS. Reports are filed, but, no one will tell me the name of the driver. I'd luv to have a word with him/her.
If your just going to say not to send cash by UPS, then why bother responding?? Obviously, that's a given.
But if you have any thoughts on how to follow through further. I'd love to make sure this theif doesnt slip thru the cracks!

Hillary Clinton has been a co-sponsor of the anti-Turk genocide resolution, but would she choose to vote for it this week?

Where is the upside in October 2007 to this Armenian resolution?
The bill is opposed by eight former U.S. Secretaries of State, including Madeleine Albright.
Excerpts:

Yes, but why now, with Turkey crucial to an Iraq policy that now has the prospect of a positive outcome? The answer may be found in the compulsive parochialism of the House's current edition of politicians, mostly Democrats. California is home to the country's largest number of politically active Armenians. Speaker Pelosi has many in her own district. Mr. Lantos represents the San Francisco suburbs. The bill's leading sponsors include Representatives Adam Schiff, George Radanovich and Anna Eshoo, all from California.
Pointedly, Jane Harman, the Southern California Democrat who Speaker Pelosi passed over for chair of the intelligence committee, wrote an op-ed for the Los Angeles Times Friday, questioning the "timing" of the resolution and asking why it is necessary to embarrass a "moderate Islamic government in perhaps the most volatile region in the world."
http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110010738
Is the need to smear Bush and placing our own troops in peril merely another ploy by Pelosi and Co. for the pleasure of obtaining more power for her party? Will these people really stoop this low?

I only ask this because it seems like such a no-brainer, yet they have yet to be created. Funny how Congress gets scared over a four term President, yet sees no problem with their bretheren serving 30+ years.

Unbeknownst to me, my butler Anthony has been aggressivly persueing my maid Maria. Which rather suprised me. I thought he was gay. I always trusted his selection of attire due to that misconception.
Anyway, she has filed suit against me because now, because of Anthony, she has realized that she is gay herself. I don't understand it either.
I don't have any problem with her conversion. It's not like I'm going to fire her. So why are there any damages?

actions i need to take. If i was stopped and accused of DUI the officer made me perform at least 4 tests to try and prove that i was unable to operate a vehicle, i had been drinking but not to the point where i couldn't operate a vehicle, i'm about to have a jury trial come up and i was told that i should plead guilty because i'm not suppose to drink anything well i feel that doesn't make since because that wouldnt make since for bars and such where people have socialble drinks all the time and duh the whole world does so i felt there would be cops on everyone all day. legal limit is .08 and i blew just that. i felt i passed all the test to prove i'm able to operate a vehicle to get home at least. I have a jury trial coming up but a PD tried to get me to plead guilty saying the field test dont matter i blew .08 nothing matters so i was wanting to get some insight from experienced attorneys on my chances or any advice that they may have. THANKS

I think the smoking ban is worse for non smokers like me than it was before. At least before you had a choice to whether you entered into a bar of smokers or not. Now smokers are all lined up outside stinking the street out to everyone who has to walk past.
I had been exposed to more smoke since the smoking ban came in to force than when people could smoke in public enclosed spaces.
I say let pubs and other social areas that have heavy amount of smokers keep on smoking in there. At least they are keeping it to theirselves.
