... when only 1/3 of the government is elected by the people?

The Legislative branch is the only branch of the government elected by the people. The Executive branch has the President and Vice President elected by electors, then the remainder of the branch appointed by the President (with confirmation by the Senate). And the Judicial branch is also appointed by the President (with confirmation by the Senate).

Does this sound like a "Democracy" to you? If you think it does, please explain.

The lyrics are taken almost verbatim from the King James version of the Bible (Ecclesiastes 3, verses 1–8).

To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time for every purpose under heaven

A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep

To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time for every purpose under heaven

A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together

To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time for every purpose under heaven

A time of war, a time of peace
A time of love, a time of hate
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracing

To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time for every purpose under heaven

A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time to love, a time to hate
A time of peace, I swear it's not too late!

I'll be the first to tell you that an individual weather event doesn't tell you anything about global warming. However, look at all the extreme weather trends we're seeing in the US right now:

A huge drought in the southeastern states, along with droughts in the southwest and northwest:

The drought in the southwestern states which has already lasted 10 years is expected to last for 90 more:

Increased numbers of severe wildfires in the western states, most recently the San Diego wildfires:

Taken all together, could these extreme weather events be indicative of global warming?

Hypothetical situation. For illustrative purposes lets assume you are white. You work in a factory of about 20 people. You are the only white person, and it the factory consists of mostly Hispanic people and a few black people.

Your supervisor is black. He is constantly ripping on you for being white. He is always taking about how your people should just go back to England...even though you ask him to leave you alone the harassment gets worse and worse. One day he start talking about how sexually attracted he is to 12 year old white girls. He is laughing at you as he goes on and on about this in a very serious tone, and describes some of the 12 year old white girls living in his neighborhood. He has technically done nothing illegal by saying these things, he is just trying to get a rise out of you, so that he can prove that you are an outta control European animal. You tell his supervisors and the owners, who are his buddies and are also black. They give him "a good scolding

It's a person that never leaves the FOB. Like little Hobbits they hide in their holes safely on the FOB knowing of nothing that happens outside the FOB.

Grunts even made a song about Fobbits.

Anyone else got some funny stories with run ins with Fobbits, REMF, Pogues, etc or any good stories about some stupid FOB rules.

I know my grandfather was considered to be ex-army but he was also employed on the railway at some point close to the beginning of WW1. I want to know if he was considered "army" becuase of the railways role in the war Particularly the light railways.

Why do cops get so mad when citizens investigate their activities and uncover wrong doing? Is it because their power is threatened.

I work for a corporation and we are audited for procedures all the time.

Why don't cops want people to know what their constitutional rights are? But I guess that's paramilitary forces are for.

Stealing, drug dealing, claiming benefits (housing & jsa) and driving without a license or insurance.

For years this is what was done to get by. But one day it was decided going legit may be better.

Over the years since. Having worked in high and low paid jobs, paid a lot of taxes, got a licence and insured vehicles.

It seems to me no matter how good anyone is. they seem to be paying a lot to survive (ok so they have some nicer things than some poorer people) but the cost of renting a house, car insurance, road tax, council tax, TV license, etc....

Is so high it seems it was better off years back when it wasn't bothered about and you got £40 pw pocket money
+ Your rent paid for you.

Do you think the law abiding / Tax paying people of Britain pay too much to support the less fortunate?

I have been videotaping my neighbor from my property and the street. I have been doing this because they are running a daycare out of their home that is not licensed (by county or state) it is also against my CC&R’s. They have called the cops 4 times and every time the cops come they tell me that I am ok as long as I don’t go on there property. Then, last night I get served with an injunction against harassment (they claim that I am taping the kids). The cops tell me that I can no longer tape and that I can get a hearing at the local court. There is an open violation with the HOA about the daycare and they have meet with both of us to talk about the issue (they have sent violation letters- another neighbor has complained as well). They may have a hearing in the near future. I feel that I have a legitimate purpose for the taping, to document the traffic (persons and cars) and the daycare that is breaking the law. Does anyone know how to present this at my hearing?

This is for my first Nano attempt next month and getting some fresh hand research. If you're involved with a car chase (as a cop) and have a baby in the car, what do you do? My FMC has one for my novella I'm going to start next week, next month, and is in pursuit (since she's a cop) of a speeder. P.S. What are the kinds of hit-and-run crimes besides hit and run? (Professional cops and law enforcement officials please.)
