If you were one of the rescued hostages, would you then insist that your rescuers be prosecuted?

For you dodgers, this is known as a "hypothetical" question.

Or maybe she's channeling Hanoi John Kerry: She was for it, before she was against it?


WASHINGTON — Hillary Clinton's campaign said late Wednesday that she supports New York Gov.'s Eliot Spitzer's plan for illegal immigrant driver's licenses, a clarification required after a twisted campaign performance Tuesday night left people guessing her position.

I think that Bush was simultaneously flying all three airplanes, and right before they crashed, he was transported by Martians into a classroom so he would have an alibi. That's why he didn't jump up when he was told about the wreck. He already knew.

P.S. Then the Martians transported Bills balls onto Hillary's body.

Any other ideas how it happened?

Does anyone else agree?

If they stay home and refuse to vote because Giuliani is the nominee - or Thompson or Romney (who they do not trust either on this issue) - then the Democrats win and a pro-choice President will be in place.

If they come out, hold their nose, and vote against the Democrats anyway, and a Republican wins, then they will still likely have a pro-choice President, or one who has flip flopped on the issue and can't be trusted to stand firm.

I would love to hear from these voters in particular as to their thinking on what is the best course of action, as well as other's opinion on this GOP problem. I can't imagine being a one issue voter when we currently have so many issues to deal with, but amazingly there are millions of them. Will they vote (or not vote) their principles when the outcome will make them unhappy no matter who wins? Or is it all just talk and they'll vote anyway in the end?

If God hates us so much why doesn't he just do it himself? Also why does he leave you in poverty and war wile we live in peace and prosperity. For your own good I think you need to reevaluate your interpretation of Islam.

I recently put a restraining order on my husband's ex-wife for 3 years. Now she is constantly dragging me back to court - first she filed a motion to dismiss my RO (without notifying me, I found it online), which was denied. Then she filed a TRO against me filled with lies, and was denied again. Now she filed ANOTHER RO, which I haven't even been served with yet (again, I found it online - I think she's hoping I don't appear).
My question is, since I haven't been served, do I have to appear? I want to go to the clerk of courts before the court date to see exactly what she is saying I did to her, but Im not sure if I should file an answer or a general denial. Does anyone know the difference?
Also, isnt she basically harassing me through the court system? How many times can she do this and get away with it? I live in So. California. Thanks!

Last night, my wife and I were minding our own business, when about 6:00, some kids knocked on our door. They were dressed rather absurdly, and they asked me to give them candy. I had no idea who these children were, so I sent them away.

Over the course of the next two hours, there must have been twenty children who did the same thing. They ranged in age from infants to early teens, and some of these beggars even brought their PARENTS with them! I was appalled! I have never experienced such ridiculousness! At one point, I was so angered with their persistent and shameless groveling, I sprayed one child in the face with pepper spray, and as he lay on the ground wallowing and crying, I shouted, "TELL ALL YOUR DUMB LITTLE FRIENDS!!!"

Today, his parents knocked on my door, and have told me they will sue me for assault on a minor. I told them I will countersue for harrassment. Do I have a case?

Alright so I am misunderstanding the 24 hour notice and he is allowed to open and close my garage to see if I am home, i doubt it. that is a violation of privacy. I went thru an actual rental company, and they did not step foot in my house or garage without my permission. I think i would know when i am being violated. and it says in a law, that they are not allowed on the property, property means everything, yard, house, otherwise this would mean he would be able to go into my back yard if he wanted. Once you have someone sign there name to your property you have no rights to it unless there is an emergency. I don't even know how many times I have read this in so many laws. And the 24 hours does go as well if they want to stop by, because he was coming over to get money for a deposit. He is a friend and if he were just stopping by the say hi, thats a different story, he wasn't, he was coming to collect money for the property.

I made a Parody video of my workplace,everybody in it aggreed to being taped and came up with goofy fun skits. I placed in on youtube but I did not use my company name nor did I link it to the name of my workplace On the public domain so that no one would find it, the address was leaked to the Owners of the company, I was asked to take it down and then I was terminated for copyright Infringement of using the company logo ( video taping the front door ie logo on it ) also I was told my parody of certain departments was offensive to others and that it was not funny

However, there was another parody video made of the same nature by another employee of this same company that did use the company name over the youtube and is regonized as so when looking up the video, these individuals were not terminated nor even repremaned in anyway.

Is this copyright infrngment that I unknowingly taped the logo?
What are my rights?
Is this Discrimantion?

Please Help, what can I do?

"The University of Delaware subjects students in its residence halls to a shocking program of ideological reeducation that is referred to in the university’s own materials as a “treatment” for students’ incorrect attitudes and beliefs. The Orwellian program requires the approximately 7,000 students in Delaware’s residence halls to adopt highly specific university-approved views on issues ranging from politics to race, sexuality, sociology, moral philosophy, and environmentalism."

Aside from that, how many schools have programs that teach children that sex before marriage is ok, homosexuality is ok, you are morally obligated to recycle, and that saying word(!) (a racial slur) is the worst sin a person can commit?

Whether you agree or disagree with these positions, they are all moral issues which are being taught in schools... are you ok with that as long as it is your position that's being taught? Apparently so...

When my bipolar xwife and I were seperated she told me to come to her work. When I showed up she had left and told police she was in fear for her life. I never did anything to her ever. Several police were waiting for me. I told them I would leave. I put my hand inmy pockets to leave. They thought I had a weapon. I did not. 1 officer hurt his shoulder when he tazered me. I was charged with felony assault and put in jail for 5 months. Now I have 3 years probation and my probation officer said even if I am in another state and my x wife calls the police and says she thinks she saw me I can go back to jail. I have no desire to contact her but i would like to see my son. Please help me I am scared to death to even walk out of my house. Again I had no weapon, no drugs, no previous record and never ever harmed my x wife. She wasn't even thee. She just imagined it.
