Bush has a line, where he seems to say that the world, entire world, is a very dangerous place in which to live. Conclusion? The conclusion to his assumption is that America must be strong militarily and that we must fight our enemies, wherever we may find them.

He, also, said that he was the war President! The question is: Does he really know what he is doing or are we headed for another great and massive war!???

I find myself wanting a combative federal government that bickers over every bill. Hopefully, that way only good ones, which can get a majority among the different political philosophies, will be passed. Is my strategy sound, or do I have a screw loose?

I would consider a Republican President with Democrats keeping control in '08, but recent history says that doesn't work so good. At least in the late '90's, Clinton and a Republican Congress balanced the budget. So maybe there's hope.

I think so. And that's probably being charitable to him.

For a change look at it from business owners point of view. The unions and the labor party were sending many business owners to the wall. I am a business owner and for the life of me I can't see why I should have to pay you for being sick, for choosing to have a baby, for your husband to stay home to be with you after you've had a baby or pay you extra money just to go on holidays. I have no problem in paying overtime and paying a bit extra for it. Thats my choice if i ask you to work back then yes I should pay for it. The same for weekend and night work, I will happily pay for that also. Under the new workplace reforms business will prosper and when business prospers more people are employed, more people spend money and the whole economy benefits. Answer by surf3Ri *Second part of answer deleted as it doesn't relate to workchoices*

All workers should be very concerned. This is what you will be against. Just don't get sick, have a baby, by a home, ask for pay rise. God Help us all!!

With single mothers taking partners and real dads vanishing off the scene, would it not be a good idea for all newborn childrens DNA to be taken so that the real father can be pinpointed in parental issues. A DNA bank would also bring down the cost of DNA testing in future and also the child can know who his father really is. As the law stands, only birth certificates and the mothers word is taken as proof of fatherhood, which is no proof whatsoever. Yes! I know there are dangers, but with nothing to hide there is nothing to fear.

in the news today Oct 26 another mother kills her new born child. But no mention of the farther. The mother has to take all the blame and guilt and all the farther got is his rocks off.
Perhaps there should be another law " O God forgive me" making it a crime to not report when a child is CONCEIVED similar to a birth certificate. Then if anything happen to the child both fornicators will be held responsible. I am a man so I cant totaly realized the anguish the mother goes through all alone in the situation. We live in a sick society that encourage this type of behavior and when it happens the likes of Nancy Grace and Glen beck are so selfrightious it just gags me

I'm currently a short-term missionary in the Philippines but will be returning to the US in June. I'm in the process of petitioning my Filipino fiancee but I have a problem: I'm a missionary. Because of that, I don't make anywhere near the required $18,000 a year. When I return to the US, though, I'll resume my public school teaching job at about $35,000. I have a good amount of savings, also, but I hear they look at the previous year's W-2.

Is there a way around this problem, or is my fiancee going to be denied a visa until I get back to the US and work long enough to get an updated W-2?

I've been told that anyone can fill out the affidavit, but I'm wondering if that's true. It seems like the future husband would be the one the USCIS people would want to make sure has the cash to support the girl.

I heard there was a law that if your under 18 and your partner is over 18 but you are 3 years apart it is still legal to be together. is that true?

example: (not true story) I'm 15 and I'm dating a guy who is 18, we could legally date and have sex.

Well, I've already asked couple of questions but I wanna make sure about one thing.

I'm preparing for Quebec Skilled Worker Immigration.
I was searching for more criteria that I can get points.. I found out that I am possibly satisfied with second specialty in Training.

I have a math degree in Undergrad. That is areaB : 5points.
I'm gonna go to a grad school for Probability and Statistics:
That is area A: which is 12 points.

I'm not doing double major or sth else. Those are completely from diffrent school and they are different degree. But math and statistics could be basically same.

I wonder if I can get a points as a second specialty. It could be possible if I pursue electrical engineering degree. But How do you think about math and statistics. I mean, the website "distinguish" them, obviously. Still wondering cuz i can't apply without that points.

Please let me know , THanks
