Why is that after the fires in California, everyone banned together and worked hard and provided help to themselves, and after Katrina everyone ran around like chickens with their heads cut of blaming the government. Okay so the people in California probably have more money, but that shouldn't effect how well you attempt to help yourself? in other words Why did the people work so well together in Cali. and Why did the people after Katrina blame everyone else??

Is there any way for members of the House of Reps to strip a Speaker of their position and elect a new person as the Speaker? Or can the Speaker not be changed until after the next elections, when there is a new Congress in session?

Specifically Senegal, China, Kenya, and Tunisia. I might be moving to on of these places. I'm 14 and a sophmore. Is it possible for me to get a license from one of these countries, even though I'm an American citizen? I'm currently a resident of Virginia but I might become a resident of Washington state.

The law went into effect Thursday and is intended to make life difficult for illegal immigrants in Oklahoma.

The message is: "If you're an illegal immigrant, you are not welcome here in Oklahoma."

The new law restricts the ability of illegal immigrants to obtain government IDs or public assistance. It also gives police authority to check the immigration status of anyone arrested, which can lead to deportations.

20 million illegals in this country is quite enough.

OTHER STATES....ARE YOU LISTENING??
We need to make coming here illegally less attractive
and Oklahoma has taken a step in the right direction.

Here's some things I can think of:

Cut off funding for the war

Demand a withdrawl (i.e. surrender) date

Give enemy combatants prisoner of war status

Repeal the Patriot Act, preventing us from getting information

Close prisons for terrorists

Grant terrorists constitutional protection

Call President Bush a liar, incompetent

Call General Petraeus a liar

Can you think of any others?

Due to the laws being changed many have been thrown in jail with no chance to talk to family or lawyers.
This has been going on for years.

Okay, so I bought 3 totinos pizzas from walmart yesterday, and when they were rung up, they would not scan and kept saying do not sell, so the cashier just rung them in manually. Today, my cousin informed me that they are all recalled as of yesterday morning due to ecoli and should not have been available to the public and she said that it amazes her that they were still all out there, when they had time to put it in the computer, but not unload the 6 shelves of the product. I bought the pizzas at 5 in the evening, and it really pisses me off, as my kids were going to eat those tonight. I called walmart and the manager was panicking that I need to bring them back ASAP. My husband however, wants to contact a lawyer as we just dealt with the salmonilla BS last year with the peanut butter and my daughter contracted it. We did not pursue a case, but we both agree the lack of care for the food products lately is ridiculous. What do you think? Should I just take them back or what?

we've been fighting this war for six years now. if you keep up with the news you would know that we've been having terrorist plots against our country at least once a year (thankfully they're foiled by the FBI, so by the way, they're not foiled because of the war). if you've been keeping up with the news for some time now, you also know that we didn't have this big of a terrorist problem before the war began.

wouldn't it be a good idea to find out if those citizens who are supposedly being oppressed want us there?

i know we didn't go to iraq to kick out saddam, but people often defend the iraq war by saying we've made it better for the people in iraq. saddam may not have been the greatest guy, but at least when he ruled the country there was some stability. there's no doubt that the country is worse off now than they were before the war began.

that they can only perform once or twice a week? It doesn't sound fair, does it, but is that what it's all about?

People make fun of Christians ans Jesus all the time but say something about Muslims and ooooooh you are a racist. That is just one example of it. It is completely wrong to say negative things about some of the most repulsive and degenerate people in the world. Anyone agree?

I'm not a pervert. This is a serious question. I was just wondering because I have seen adult movies with twins in it and they do stuff with each other. I know it's not camera tricks because I'm a film major and I would be able to tell. So is it legal?
