I want to chnage my name, and I was told that I didnt have to go to court to do so. And that I simply just did it through social security, by getting them to change my name legally.

Is this true.? and if so , how does all of this work? time it takes? any information you can give me on this Please.

If I open a question and it's just Liberals Suck! No, Neocons Suck! I just close it and skip it 90% of the time, regardless of if I have anything pertinent to say. Does anyone else do this? Is anyone else just as turned off by both party extremes reading this? I think I'd rather go over to the Men's Health board and ensure 13 year old boys that they have plenty of time to either reach their full heights or reach their adult penis sizes. Seems a little more productive.

Who is it helping, to turn against your fellow countrymen? Is it easier to hate people who don't agree with you than it is to actually address the issues you don't agree on?

I'm a liberal. I don't hate conservatives. My best friend is a Republican in the Air Force for goodness sakes! And, he'll agree with me that the anger people feel towards their own countrymen for their opinions is doing nothing but causing unnecessary strife.

Why do it?

Is there an established academic view on this?

One method Israel uses to deter terrorism is make it known to potential terrorists of consequences. Those consequences are to take the terrorsts to their parent's house to watch the bulldozer plow it down with possessions inside. If the terrorist is killed it is done without him. No Israeli will claim this is justice. It is retribution. Best of all it stops terrorists because they don't want harm for their parents. It works! And Israel only has employed this as a last resort solution to the problems.

I do. It is the tree hugging, liberal environmentalists that ban farmers and other homeowners performing controlled burns to get rid of excess brush. Look at what happens when they liberals say, "you can't burn that, it's a part of nature". This all was caused by environmentalists.

They got those big jets and massive planes to carry the troops why can't they use it as a water tank or something and drop water or somethin on the fire here

When the attacker only touches intimately the victim but does not perform sexual intercourse. Like he strips her naked and touches her all over the place but does not have sex with her. And is it less punishable than rape with sex?


I am trying to be as least graphic as I could

I understand that it makes it illegal for a soldier to be housed in someone's home during peacetime, and legal during wartime only under governmental terms (and if the homeowner consents to it), but how do I write a 2 page essay about it?

If anyone has any ideas for me to research further (like cases that pertain to it), that would be incredibly helpful.

Thaaaank you =)

P.S. Please, I don't want a paragraph or anything. I don't want people to do my homework for me! Well, actually that'd be awesome but unrealistic and selfish, lol. I just need some help ...

Bush or the Republican congress from 2000 to to 2006?

The president as the leader of the executive branch comes up with the budget request but it is congress who passes the actual budget (with input from the executive branch).

=====================

According to a Congressional Research Service study, the number of earmarks in spending, or appropriations, bills went from 4,126 in 1994 to 15,877 in 2005. The value of those earmarks doubled to $47.4 billion in the same period. Earmarked projects often include roads, bridges and economic development efforts.

Did the government do it - did they plan and execute the death of 3,000 people that day in order to further their own political agenda ?

Did it happen exactly as the government said it did - 19 men took over a plane and crashed it into a building because Osama Bin Laden told them to ?


Was it pure incompetance on the part of the government that allowed an attack to happen and if there is any cover up it is the government trying not to look like they should have know better ?


Somthing else completely (what ) ?

Somewhere in between those choices (which ones and how far this way or that way)?
