Under the immigration law, a person can applied for the citizenship 3 years after obtaining the green card, if married to a US Citizen (five year waiting period for residence not married to US citizens). What happens if after the person applies for the citizenship gets divorce in the middle of the process? Would the application be rejected?

I had to pay a fine and the police took a fingerprint of my only one left thumbnail. I paid the fine more than a year ago, I don\t have any criminal record on me, but I'd like to know if they will still keep my fingerprint in their database or it probably will be deleted? I've done my research on that and usually the police keep fingerprints of those who were taken to court or commited any serious crime, so more likely that in my case the fingerprint will be deleted but I\d like to know your opinion on this matter.

Or do they support the "value voters" in Pakistan who believe in "traditional values" and turning back the clock back to the 15th century?

=======================
More than anything, most in Lyari are loyal to the memory of Bhutto's father — Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, a prime minister known for socialist policies that brought jobs, housing and health care to the poor, but who was hanged in 1979 by the military dictator who had forced him from power.

Some believe it is their obligation to support Bhutto out of respect for her father and what he and his political party did for the poor.

I recieved a no insurance ticket on a car that was not even running. I wanted to fight it in court, but the court date was originally on Labor Day. It was moved to the next day, I unfortunately had to work. I didn't make it to to court, not knowing that I could have appealed it in writing, it is now over due. So, if I have to pay it, I want to make it as hard on them as possible.

This sketch about a man who pays for an argument is not only one of the funniest things you'll ever see , but also a great reminder of 'how to' and 'how not to' have a debate .

In the 90's it was Charlie Trei and now dishwashers are giving $2000 working at minimum wage. Only a handfull can actually be found. The press is silent.
Let it be a Republican and no rock would be small enough to look under. Is it time for jail for the queen.

I'm confused, with the minimum wage increase in effect, why is the federal wage different than the state wage increase? and which one do you legally go by?

i just get this sense that people are losing interest in guiliani and mccain and are really starting to embrace romney and huckabee. huckabee most of all, he has made a huge jump in the early polls and is currently close to 3rd place behind mccain romney and giuliani. if huckabee does well in iowa and new hapshire he could find himself in excellent shape as he will win most of the south outright. i believe huckabee is the best candidate of the GOP right now, and republicans need to vote this guy in the primaries.

heres a long 5 part interview huckabee had on cnn headline news http://www.mikehuckabee.com/index.cfm?FuseAction=Blogs.View&Blog_id=597

I'm not saying ol' Bill was perfect, but I really don't get why everytime Bush does something wrong....you get a whole mess of conservatives whose only defense is something Bill Clinton did....

They are two seperate people afterall...not to mention that Billy hasn't been president for almost a decade now...

By that warped logic, NOBODY should ever be held accountable for ANY wrongdoing because chances are SOMEONE else did it too...

My best friend of 20 years just had her 2nd child a year ago. While she was pregnant with this child she told her doctor that after she gave birth, she wanted her tubes tied. She signed all the paperwork and everything was in order. Well, she ended up having a c-section to have this baby and the doctor said to her, "oh I see you want a tubal ligation done." My friend said,"yes, I do". Well, the doctor told her that he wasn't going to do it because he felt my friend was too young (she was 27) and he was not going to tie her tubes. She is married, to the same man for 8 years and both children are his. My friend then argued and argued with this doctor as she is being wheeled down to get her c-section. Her husband argued that the papers were already signed to do the ligation. The doctor ended up putting my friend to sleep to do the c-section. The doctor did not do the tubal, now my friend is pregnant with a third baby that she can't afford. She wants to sue the doc. Does she have a case?

I just received someone's address, who is in Basic, but it was sent to me over text and with the spacing being kind of funny, I wanted to make sure the format was correct, because it kind of looked like "eco" and "4th" should have been on the next line. Here's the address

PFC {Last, First MI} Eco.
1.34th Inf. Regt. 4th
Plt. Wolfpack
{City, State, Zip}

Can anyone tell me if that looks right? Thanks in advance!

Closed minded - when anyone disagrees with a liberal.
Compromise - when you do what a liberal wants.
Freedom - when liberals get their way.
Unbiased - when it leans left.
Condescend - what a liberal does to those who don't agree with them.
Bipartisan - when a republican votes for a democrat bill.

Have you ever noticed that a liberal thinks they speak for the American people?

I have to post this at least once a week or I feel empty inside, LOL.

My boyfriend is mentally abused! I'm not over exaggerating, nor am I saying this only because I'm a childish minor who is trying to 'fight the power'. He's a good guy, who's 17, does his school work, has a job at a book store, and is all around a blessing to any parent (say my parents). However his mother is not a good one in my belief.

This lady is in her late 50's with a 17 year old son. She has no medical care for him or herself, she has no actual job- but she gets $500 a month for child support. Her current living area is with her soon to be ex- husband (my boyfriends ex-step-father), and this isn't permanent.

She has left her son home alone before for over a day, and left only a note saying *feed the cats I'll be out for awhile*. Later through his friend he found out that she went to Upstate New York! (I'd like to note that this takes place in Brooklyn New York, and she went to Plattsburg.)

Email me for further information if you believe you can help

I am a minor, and last year through school, I donated blood. Now, of course I had to fill out papers with personal information, such as my phone number. Ever since the 3 month mark in which I am able to donate again, this company has been calling me at least 4-5 times a day asking to make an appointment and to donate, sometimes even from an "Unavaliable" number, so I can't screen their calls. They even call me during hours which I am in school, because I am a MINOR.

I have told them that when I have permission from my parents to donate again (because I am a MINOR and It is illegal for me to do it without their permission and their accompanient to the facility) that I will contact THEM and make an appointment.

This has not stopped the calls.

Do you think people who break the law or are repeat offenders should be allowed to live off of our tax dollars?

I have an incident with a couple officers. You know how it goes, "I look like someone who just robbed someoe"... I never appeared threatening but they slammed my face against the car, put me in handcuffs, and slammed my ankle in the door 3 times. My ankle hurts, but it will be fine in a week or so im sure. But the attorney I talked to said it had to be a serious injury with broken bones or surgery for them to be able to do something. I think thats bull. Are they going to get away with this? I dont have health insurance and I would hate to get a crazy hospital bill thats telling me ill be fine in a couple weeks and attorneys telling me thats not enough. Anything I can do? The officers wouldnt give me their names but I got the license plate. This was today by the way.
