I learned it when i was in kindergarten and had to say it all thought high school. but i don't understand why. i think we should say the preamble to the constitution. at least then would understand what im saying and believe in it. i mean, think about it:

I pledge alligence to the flag of the United States of America
And to the republic, for which it stands
One nation, under God, indivisible,
With liberty and justice for all.

ok, well thats all pretty and nice. but i dont pledge alligence to the flag of the US, i pledge alligence to the country itself. and we aren't supposed to be one nation under God, we are supposed to be one nation under any religion you choose even if God isn't apart of it. the justice thing is ok i guess...now think of the preamble to the Constitution. it's a lovely piece of writing.

I want to do an ERD, the problem is my husband first shirt will not allow it. I don't want to go ahead with a divorce as I am unsure if that's what I actually want. But I want to separate... where can i find information on how to do so... I do not want to go to the legal office as I have been there, they tell me one thing and the shirt tells me another, but both tell me the shirt must approve.

Elliott Spitzer is our new governor in NY, and he has already eliminated the Star exemption (tax credit for homeowners) for anyone who makes 70K or more. He wants to improve the economy in upstate cities, but he's INCREASING taxes for the very people cities need to invest and spend money. Is he an idiot or does he simply want to increase the number of voters for the Democratic party?
Someone please explain how taxing people over 70K helps the economy? Aren't they going to spend less? Move? We are not talking about rich people, but we are talking about hard working people who are likely to vote Republican.
My property taxes already increased. It took 3 months. This is a man who claims to care about the poor. Really? By driving out the money? By giving State unions raises? What a crock. It's all about power. The poor will suffer the most!

Seems like the good ole’ boy GW has an approval rating of somewhere in the low 30’s or so? Not doing so great. No wonder all you dems out there hate him (and many of the Reps). That is abysmal. 30ish % of the whole country think he is doing ok. That is lots and lots of people think that he isn’t. Ok, I concede, he is doing awful.
Of course, whats that say about the left wing congress that is doing 33% worse with an approval rating of somewhere in the low 20s…. Guess our god-awful, good for nothing president is still a third better than the bottom feeding democratically controlled Congress.
So keep shouting off about how awful our guy is. Your whole posse of socialists are doing a LOT worse.

I have to see my ex husband for 2 hours - 4 hours a month at the most as of right now since he doesn't call to visit any other times. He has supervised visits and i supervise him because the court order we had isn't working so we did a mutual agreement at mc donalds and i supervise him and bring a friend of mine.....I get so sick when i have to see him though but i do it for the kids. He has NO problem with our agreement he signed it i signed it weve been doing this for a year now...

The only thing is we didnt notify the court but I heard that you dont have to if you agreed to something. That you only go to court when you DONT AGREE on things.

Totally off the record... I was dispatched to a burglary call. When I arrived at the scene, I was met by the complaining party. It seems someone had broken into his large barn sometime during the night.

He took me to the door and showed me where someone had thrown-up or had a bowel movement. I made the observation that the perpetrator was probably intoxicated and had thrown-up. However, the complaintant disagreed with me about this. He told me that he had another idea why the would-be thief had gotten sick.

Seems inside the barn was a large motor home. Sitting on the floor, near the side of the vehicle was a five gallon gas can. Near the gas can was a piece of siphoning hose. It was obvious that the perpetrator had intended to steal some gas from the motor home.

Yesterday my boss told me he needs me to start working "part time" hours. I use the term sparingly, because he's basically asking me to work an hour less a day -- which adds up to five hours a week, and 500 dollars off my monthly pay. That's a hell of a lot of money for me.

Can he do this without my permission? I didn't sign a contract when I started and he has messed with my overtime pay before this. I am looking for a new job yet I am afraid that if I stand up to him about wanting my regular hours he will just lay me off and I will be in an even worse position.

Help!!! I need advice, I've NEVER gone through something like this before.

The left is always trying to remove one freedom or another, replacing it with forced acceptance or brainwashing. What is it about freedom that is so terrifying to you? Is it the responsibility? The idea that you may have to stand up for something real?
Freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, the idea that a person has the right to think any way they want about someone.
2nd part-How does the right to burn a flag, or kill a baby, or publically flaunt perversion become more important that the right to think, the right to speak, or the right to defend oneself?
