that we will not get paid for that extra hour we have to work. The rumor is pretty legit due to they did this in the past. The reason being is because we will get that hour back in the spring time, but I don't even know if I'll still be on night shift by then. Is this legal or illegal by law? I would asume it is illegal but just throwing it out there for anyone that can clear it up. Thanks

With all the talk about "waterboarding," I wonder how you would feel about the supposed practice of "waterboarding" if it could be used to get a terrorist to reveal the location of a bomb that was planted somewhere in your city.

The mainstream media is making a very deliberate effort to mold your opinion on the upcoming election by giving unfair air time to the candidates they have chosen. Question is are you awake enough to realize that it is happening? If you just say I'm crazy, then you have just denied what I'm saying without researching my point. Do a little investigation and see for yourself. It is fairly easy to see the attempt of the media to mold your opinion on the upcoming election. Will you let them?

To the genX, Y, Z. How do you feel about boomers collecting SS benifits? I made a contract with my government and employer 30 plus years ago to invest a percentage of my weekly income to be set aside for my retirement. I did this in good faith and am not some hippy socialist that waited for others to take care of me. This was a long term insurance that when I was too old to work, I would have some minimal income to keep me from winding up on the streets and starving to death. I have taking enough care that I will hopefully never come to that, SS or not, but why am I begrudged the expectation that I should recieve what I have diligently invested in? I still had to make wise choices and forgo many whims and luxuries to gaurentee my own old age future. I am curious why I see so many younger people that do not think I deserve to collect my investment.

My Daughter is 26 yrs old and living in another state. She was born in the state that I reside in. She lost her birth certificate and only has her social security card. She told me I can get a copy of her birth certificate, by just showing my I.D. (drivers license) and I have a different last name than her, I am remarried. I just don't think that is true, because then anyone could get anyone's birth certificate. The place I would have to go to get it is 2 hours away and I really don't feel like driving all that way for nothing.
Anyone have any suggestions on how a person that lives in a different state than the one they were born in, gets a copy of their birth certificate.
thanks

RR changed the tax codes and caused many American's in the lowest income levels to lose their houses or apartments. Also, he inexplicably closed the mental hospitals which put many mentally ill people out on the streets, of San Francisco and other major cities. Good morning America was celebrated while many shivered.

I am 23. I graduated from college in May and have a really good job working as an investment manager. In June i met an older lady, she told me she was 52. I never was an "older lady" man but she was really nice and very attractive so i pursued a relationship. When we had sex she told me she was too old to get pregnant and she was on the pill anyway so there was no need to wear a condom. Yesterday she informed me of a bunch of things: first, she's preg. 2nd, she's not 52, she's 42. 3rd she got pregnant on purpose by me because she thinks i'm really attractive and i have a good future career ahead of me financially. Also, she was actually taking fertility drugs to facilitate getting preg.

Is there anything i can do legally. She totally lied to me in so many ways, now needless to say we're broken up but she says that i still have to financially support her. Is this true even though she lied about everything to me!!

Well the morning brings another disgusting spectacle of a corrupt Bush political appointee accepting bribes. I guess the theory is, grab it while you can cause you are never, never coming back. I would be most curious to know if Commissioner, Nancy Nord declared the value of her bribed trip to Hilton Head Golf resort. The law that we underlings live under says that if we failed to do that the next all inclusive paid trip we would take would be to a Federal detention facility. Beyond that, I do believe that both the offering and the taking of a bribe to and by a Federal Employee is a crime. I guess we know why the Justice Department had to rely on the Washing Post to bring this little problem to light. On the flip side at least we now know what the head of the Consumer Product Safety Commission was doing while hundreds of thousands of lead painted toys were being offered for sale to America's children. Lead poisoning is incurable and debilitating for life. Great job Nordie!

I am a U.S. Soldier who just got back from his Second deployment to the Middle East.

1. I just got back 2 months ago.
2. My indigenous unit is deploying and I am being told I have to deploy with them.
3. This presents a Hardship to me because I am newlywed, and my Wife is pregnant and will be having the baby about 1 week after we officially deploy.
4. There are other reasons why this presents a harship to us.
5. My 1SG says he may be able to boot me off the Battle roster if the unit gets over strength and even if this happens I may not be released till a month or 2 before we get officially activated.


I am posting this 'Question" because I am looking for advice and tips on any information that may be provided to assist me in this extremely important issue, Also regulations that may help me will be appreciated.

I was watching some show last night about the noose as a hate symbol in reference to lynchings. I thought what if someone replaced the noose with a "Plastic adult pleasure device"

rationing health care to save money? This will be a disaster. If I am a 70 year old person who will probably live 20 more years because I took good care of my health through the years, will I still be eligible for an organ transplant?
