Yesterday I got a ticket for supposedly having part of my car in the "handicap hatch cross". The "cross hatch" is the blue grid the extends out from a handicap spot. I took photos of my car, clearly showing it not touching any of the blue whatsoever. I've contacted the city of LA Parking Bureau asking to directly meet with someone and show them the proof, email someone, etc. They've told me that if I want to contest my ticket I have to FIRST PAY THE TICKET before they'll even consider doing a "hearing" for my case. I think the majority of people will agree with me that paying the ticket before anything is determined is practically admitting guilt. I asked a supervisor to read me the code telling WHY this is required and all she could find is some code saying "before a hearing payment is required" completely not addressing WHY this is necessary.

Is there anyway to have someone look at my proof of innocence without having to pay the fine first? Also is what they're doing legal?

Because of the incompetence that goes by the name George Bush--we have become the most insecure, paranoid superpower ever. We don't think we can get anything right anymore. We can't take care of our own citizens after a hurricane, or plan for our wars, or maintain our infrastructure. And our celebrity rehab facilities obviously aren't working at all."

Just curious if there were any medals in the Navy that you don't have to be in a hot zone to earn?

I take it there would be service medals to commemorate X years in service, but anything else? Are there any Navy medals that don't carry over to the Navy Reserves?

do you lust over things that you cant have including money Do you take it out on illegals. Are you so brain washed to see that this is Mexico's land, especially the southwest. It was stolen, and I dont care bout the treaty of guadalupe. That was all a lie and certain ppl at that time were criminals and made Mexico sign it. They gave us pennies just so history could say it was bought fair and square. I wish you all would be gone outof the southwest. We are here to stay and nothing you can do about it. Why do you think the population here is mainly hispanics. We win, so get over it.

An integrated illegal immigrant or a non-integrated immigrant? I'm really on the fence about this. Here's why:

I oppose illegals becase they are just that, and we can't be spending our tax money on them. Simple right. A friend of mine's bf is illegal, which bothered me, but he speaks English fluently, holds a job owning a food corp with other mexicans and actually makes ony while paying taxes, and always pays for medical services discretely at those quick clinic places. he syas he wouldn't use our tax money for one reason: he doesn't want to go to our institutions because they will find him out, he rather pay cash up front, and if he can't he'll go home. On the other hand, my gf's parents are legal immigrants. They have been here 30 years, have not learned any English, stay within their community, and take welfare, healthcare subsidization, and keep sponsoring more people to bring over who also utilize these handouts (they're Chinese). I don't like both! WTF?!?

i work at a small company as a salaried employee and i am pregnant. today my employer told me that i am not required to punch in on a time clock. i check and none of the other salaried employees are being required to do this. Is this legal? I feel like i am being discriminated against because I am pregnant.

sex offender in community? Lately I have been reading a lot in the news about sex offenders in my area. And in one town all offenders had to report to the police office between 5 and stay till 10 pm on halloween. So I decided to check the local register and there are 60 in my zip code. Then I discovered that there was one registered two doors down from me.
I feel that this information should have been disclosed to me before I signed a lease. I have a small child to think about.

So is this something that should be disclosed to tenants, and or buyers when looking for a place to live?

And don't tell me if I don't like it move, because I plan on moving at the end of the month, and have done my own research now for where I am moving to.

I'm not familiar with what type of socialist Hilary Clinton is alleged to be (there are many different models from around the Globe, both presently and historically). However, I am familiar with various types of twentieth-century fascism [Fascism is an authoritarian political ideology (generally tied to a mass movement) that considers individual and other societal interests subordinate to the interests of the state. Fascists seek to forge a type of national unity, usually based on (but not limited to) ethnic, cultural, or racial attributes. Various scholars attribute different characteristics to fascism, but the following elements are usually seen as its integral parts: nationalism, statism, militarism, totalitarianism, anti-communism, corporatism, populism, collectivism, and opposition to economic and political liberalism.-Wikipedia]. It sure looks like we are as close to living with fascism as we perhaps ever have. So... if you're okay with fascism, why the fuss about socialism?

I respect anyone who volunteer to fight in the war to fight for their country. But I was wondering, why don't we send criminals out there to fight in wars? What do you think about giving that as a sentence instead of going to jail? Would it depend on the crime? I feel that at least they will be fighting for a cause and not sitting in jail for free. Once they serve their term in the war which mean they paid their debt to society and they can become citizens again. I believe it will also prevent less crime in the US if they sentence criminals to go to war. Do you know of any countries that does this?

They are walking together and come across a blind man with a large tin cup . Not wanting to be outdone they both reach for some cash to drop in the cup and while doing so notice its chuck full of rubies ,emeralds and diamonds worth millions of dollars .

They ask the blind man whats in the cup and he says he scoops up a large tin of dirt each day from a secret place to cover over the coins people give him .

So tell me what will these two men do given their political affiliations .

I am into wilderness survival and have been looking into to becoming a SERE. SERE stands for Survival-Evasion-Resistance-and Escape. I am not sure of how to get to be this particular specialist or how the training is. What all would I do? Would I be in combat, or would I just teach others how to SERE? Thanx...

who is with me on this one i was reading last words from the people who got executed and i was thinking 2 myself this is some bull theses are people not bugs that you can kill with no regard i know what alot of people have done was wrong but killing a human for killing another human doesn't make any sense if the government has the right 2 kill people than how is it wrong for people 2 kill other people killing is wrong no matter who is doing it but I'm thinking if we are in a free country and we have laws that say no killing that goes for everyone even the government my main question is after they executed a person what happens 2 them if they killed a person and you killed them shouldn't you die

I think Bush committed his biggest error when he decided to govern exclusively for the pleasure of the conservatives.
Especially after the bitterly disputed elections. (Both)
And, after he had the WHOLE WORLD supporting him after the 9/11 tragedy.
Is he a useless human being, or what?
