They can commit crimes and escape. They cannot be arrested or even given a ticket.. Why must they have Diplomatic Immunity? I think it is impunity.

I decided to get up the nerve and file for a restraining order against my crazy ex-boyfriend; it took me awhile to go through with it. I wasn't granted the restraining order but assigned a hearing with me and my ex-boyfriend. I can't do it. I'm an emotional wreck and there is no chance I can go through with this. Anyone in the court sytem who may have an idea as to what I can possibly do to avoid this?

Smokers are forced to pay higher taxes on the product they choose to consume. Society has deemed it risky behavior and has decided smokers should pay now for the healthcare they will probably need later.
HIV/AIDS drug cocktails have come a long way and are also very expensive. We tax payers often foot the bill.
If one risky choice of behavior that cost tax dollars is bad, why isn't the other?

Heres the deal. I had a part time job. The manager is extrememly rude and "rubs" my shoulders everytime he is around. I stopped going to work and was very "bugged" about this. They fired me after not showing up the 2nd day.

I don't want to file anything .. i don't want to see these people again.

Am i able to collect unemployment until i get hired on somewhere else?

This is actually really embarrassing but I suffer from Paruresis (“Shy Bladder Syndrome”) and soon I will be court ordered to serve time in jail.

I’m freaking out because what if I get stuck with a Cellmate? I will end up with a bladder infection or something serious because of my condition – I WONT be able to go!!

If I tell them on the form or whatever that I suffer from this do I have any rights, or will they just laugh at me and say “yeah right”? I’m praying I get my own cell. I just wanted to know how my condition stands when it requires special treatment in my type of scenario (the law). What are my options?

Serious answers only please!!

Epiphany. Let's assume that no one you would reasonably meet on the street has an IQ lower than 70. The average black IQ is 85. The average white IQ is 100. So if you're an average white person, you perceive a pretty big difference between yourself and an average black person. After all, if 70 is the bottom, then you're twice as smart, right? This perceived superiority would contribute to racial intolerance.

But to someone with an IQ of 150, there is absolutely no difference between the average black guy at 85 and the average white guy at 100. They're both morons. So the guy with an IQ of 150 doesn't see differences in terms of race since most black people AND most white people are dumber than he is. You see? The guy with the 150 IQ has to learn to get along with everyone no matter how dumb, else he won't be able to participate in society at any level.

Man I was proud of myself when I figured this out!

Seems some of the cons on here are VERY concerned about it, I say Bush should nominate Jane Goodall as a special negotiator and send her to the Congo right away! Gorillas have enough problems without them going to war with each other.

Did they award "WWII Victory Medals" posthumously? Because grandfather was killed on D-Day, but I don't think he recived a "WWII Victory Medal."

Let's say if the President wanted to combine the DEA with the U.S. Coast Guard could he do that?

Or would he have to ask permission from Congress to do it?

Aren't they allies in the assault on reason and rationality? Even their war doesn't it beneift them both to try and scare more enlightened spirits to follow the "norm" out of fear?

They both have a cultist spirit where everyone who doubts their interpretation is a traitor and part of the evil outside world(infidels for Muslims but liberal bias for cons) They both put ideology before science and reason think junk science like creatioinism or intelligent design. They both are extremely religous and hostile towards gay people

Of course there are differences in methods and sevirity of hostility but can you deny the similarities? Will we be clever enough not to let ourselves be fooled to take a side but reject them both and choose rationality?
Who's protecting the enlightment in this war on terror?

According to a new report, "1 in 10 schools are 'dropout factories' ".
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071029/ap_on_re_us/dropout_factories
" 'Dropout Factory,' a high school where no more than 60 percent of the students who start as freshmen make it to their senior year. That description fits more than one in 10 high schools across America. "

This is just more proof socialism does not belong in a capitalist society. This year the U.S. government plans to spend over $1.2 trillion on social programs.

The primary function of the U.S. government is not provide welfare. According to the founding fathers of this country, the primary purpose of the U.S. government is maintain a military and the secondary purpose is to regulate commerce.

It is a fact there is more money spent on social programs than on the military. There are federal social programs, state social programs, county social programs, and city social programs. Their costs add up to trillions of dollars yearly.
