I moved out when I was 17 and my mother has been deceased my whole life ( I'm 19 now). My dad kept her dolls and pictures and I was told they were for me but he will not give them to me. He has been remarried since I was like 2, so he has no reason to keep them except to be mean! HELP!

Most people only think of the income tax and possibly Social Security when talking about who pays what. All the supply side dunderheads that point to the upper this % pays that % of taxes and the bottom half doesn't pay and they get a free ride blah, blah, blah. Well they never mention all the sales taxes and property taxes (renters pay their landlord's property taxes) and gas taxes etc. It's just income tax this or that. They also don't mention that State and Local taxes have increased to make up for cuts in Federal spending at those levels. They don't mention that dividends and capital gains are taxed at 15% while middle class couples pay almost 33% including Social Security contributions. Remember, there's no Social Security taken out of UNEARNED income. Since the Reagan tax overhaul, the Social Security payments that were suppose to be put away for the baby boom generation were, as you prefer, either spent in lieu of income tax receipts or rebated to the upper 1% as tax cuts.

They are required to wear a seat belt when they are in a car.
I have heard many say a woman has the right to do with her body as she wants.
I have seen some say we have to wear a seatbelt for the safty of others.
What about the safty of the unborn child? Don't tell me it is not fully developed and it doesn't matter.
If a man beats a pregnant woman and her baby dies he can be tried for murder of that baby.

Why are women allowed to kill their babies. They should have thought abput getting pregnant before they slept around.

Okay, so I was molested when I was younger I waited 5 years to tell about it and when I did nothing happened to the guy. I know this person who was assaulted last week and once they find the guy he is being punished. I'm very upset that they are punishing him and not the guy that did it to me. They had this persons story in every local newspaper and on the news so that people were aware that this happened and to be careful. When I told no one was told and I think that people should have been told so that they could have been aware. Am I over reacting?

My daughter and her friend just left their job. They have had it with this place. The owners have given bad checks to the employees and have paid them late. They are now about 4 weeks late with the pay so the two decided not to show up for work on Monday and quit. Now the owners are saying that without 2 weeks notice they can pay them at minimum wage for their last 2 weeks there.
Has anyone had any experience with this? Thanks in advance for your answers

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30 — President Bush lashed out at Congress today, the third time he has done so in two weeks, this time saying the House had wasted time on “a constant string of investigations” and the Senate had similarly wasted its efforts by trying to rein in the Iraq war. Its failure to send a single annual appropriations bill to his desk, he said, amounted to “the worst record for a Congress in 20 years.”“Congress is not getting its work done,” the president said in brief remarks from the North Portico of the White House.

He urged Congress to act on defense-funding legislation and on a compromise on the State Children’s Health Insurance Program, or S-CHIP.Representative Nancy Pelosi, the House speaker, responded sharply to the president’s criticisms.

“The president calls Congressional oversight that has uncovered tens of billions of dollars in waste, fraud and abuse in Iraq a ‘waste of time.’

....the pop swells to the carry capacity of the petri dish....then more nutrients are introduced and the pop swells to 4x that size, then the outside nutrients are removed. What happens to the population? In our case, the extra nutrient is oil and how we can use it. As the oil is withdrawn (imminent declining oil supplies), what happens to our population? Famine is a natural response to declining food supplies and we are about there. Pop quiz ***hole, what do you do, now?

There's a perv that walks around my apartment complex in the early morning hours, and late at night, and tries to corner girls.

I noticed him this morning looking into our apartment. I didn't know it was him, and was watching his behavior. He then dropped his pants and proceeded to jack off. I ran over the window and immediately shut the curtains. I live in a town with a very innocent mentality and all of my roommates, are virgins, in every sense of the word. They leave the curtains and blinds open all the time.

I've adopted a motherly nature towards them, and don't want them to have to see that.

I don't know who I should call if this happens again. I feel like maybe 911 is too much, since it is not an emergency. Any ideas?

if you lived there and needed to support your family, and it was almost impossible to get here legally, you wouldnt do the same. We are people like anyone else. If you were desperate to feed your family, would you not also try to come here.
I dont want to hear that its illegal. I want to hear why you would not come besides for it being illegal. Putting yourself in the shoes of an illegal immigrant from a 3rd world country (as you say). You would want the best for your family? Can you understand why they do. What is a good solution. If this country has all these resources and helps Africa, why not help Mexico and its people?
