Politics & Government - 29 October 2007

This happened a few years ago and it's always just left me wondering, so I wanted to get some thoughts from law enforcement.

We were out of town for about a week, locked all the doors, set timers for the lamps, did everything we could for safety's sake. Arrived back home after vacation to find our garage door wide open, random lights left on in the house, ceiling fans running, and most oddly this antique rocking chair we had set in the corner of our basement was dragged out into the midding of the room, facing out the basement picture windows (that look out onto a golf course) like someone was just sitting there enjoying the view.

Nothing was missing from the house, or seemed to be tampered with besides these few things. The police came out and the only thing they could tell us was that there were scratches, from a ring, on the garage door handle, and none of us wear a ring.

For law enforcement people, have you seen this before and if so what happened? Other opinions?

I suppose since the Hundred Years' War, England and France have been one of the biggest rival countries in the world. They seem to have permanent conflicts with eachother that will always last, politically and morally. Although individuals may like eachother, as at time England and France have been on OK terms... why are the two countries so connected in rivalry??

I have to do a research paper on it, too, so do you know of any sites or places that I can get some information on England and France's relationships throughout history?

after reading quite a bit about it...pro and con...it seems to me it's real and coming soon. Fuel shortages or high prices, fuel siphoning, food shortages due to high delivery costs, economic effects, etc. So my question is, where do you want to be when the **** hits the fan?

ok, i think this has been asked before but, from the most people i know they don't support the ban but is that cause i smoke myself.
Also would you agree that smoke should be permitted in some areas, ie pubs but not in resturants
seperate areas not all areas.

You do realize that during the University of Texas, civilians got out their hunting rifles and returned fire on the sniper. No doubt their actions saved a few lives. One of the civilians was even deputized and was part of the assault on the tower which ended when Mr.Whitman was killed. If some of the VT students had been armed there is no telling how many lives would have been saved!

Hi, I will travel to Minnesota this weekend to take care of a matter in court for a Misdameanor warrant for theft for $13.00. I paid the bail of $300.00 and it was my first offence there. My question is, will the judge just fine me, since I live in Chicago and my court date is on a Monday and I will leave that same day but can't take it if he tells me to do something like community service or go to a theft class while I have to get back to work the next day I mean would I have to find a class @ my home town or do community service or what, but I was told that the $300.00 was towards my bail and court cost etc. So I hope all I have to do is pay a fine, and I was nver taking into custody, no finger prints or picture all they have on me is my driver licsense # and current address so when it's over would they finger print me then to put me into the system or what please let me know people, Thank You.

It is clear that they want us to believe Israel have the right to invade lands and posses WMD.
It is clear that they want us to believe that Islam and Catholicism are wrong,
It is clear that they don't want to face the fact we lost war on drugs and war on Indians!
It is clear that they want to criminalize undocumented immigrants and ignore corruption in the U.S side.
It is clear that they want us to believe that Bush is doing well and that republicans are conservatives despite they act so liberal!

...if I credit the artist of the images?
I'm writing a book (fiction) and I have found two images on the Internet that I believe would be 'eye-catching' marketing tools. Unfortunately, the artwork is currently being used by a music group for two of their album covers.
Where can I get info regarding copyrights and the payment due to the artists of same, as ruled on by Canadian business law?
(Sorry, two questions, but I don't want to see anyone (myself included) hurt by copyright infringement.)

Later Daze! =)

It's the way that Scottish Politicians and Councillors give out jobs !
Gordon Brown's brother works for a French company: and "Lo and Behold" Brown's given them a contract!
The top people in Brown's cabinet are Jocks who get the most money spent on their constituencies.
