Politics & Government - 6 November 2007

It is well-known that the title of President does not end in four or eight years. Bill Clinton and George H. W. Bush are properly referred as "President". Quick question, though: Should Ronald Regan be referred as President? Should good ol' Lincoln?

So the plan it to hire some thugs with guns so that after I buy an island in a militarily weak island nation (not politically close to the US or UK) and declare independence the local government is not able to stop me by force. Then I'll turn the place into Adult Disneyland by growing and selling cheap drugs, licensing prostitutes as independent contractors and dumping all kinds of money into an impressive casino... I may charge people $1000 for a one week visa to visit if I get greedy ... of just live off the profits from the casino...

Tell me why this is impossible to do. Who if anyone (with any significant power) would oppose me or even care?

Abortion is muder. A fetus is a form of life. Saying you are pro choice is the same thing as saying the murder is not wrong.

Two questions:

My daughter is 16 years old. adjuster claims no judge approval is required in his settlement offer due to no "permanency? He said....."right there is no permanency to your daughters injuries?" I responded, "Im no medical provider so I wouldn't know." He then goes on and states, well since there is no permanency, we don't need a judges approval. Is this correct?

And last, the adjuster had made hi offer although it has only been verbal over the phone. It is entered into their system and has been ackknowledged by several employees as their claims office.

Can they withdraw the offer for any reason at this point?

I honestly get the strong feeling this adjuster is playing games, I don't trust him. He is trying to bait me into answering questions, etc.

So is a judges approval needed?

Can they withdraw the settlement offer?

1) Turn yourself in even if you don't have a lawyer or money for a lawyer?

2) Try avoid being arrested for next three months in order to buy the time to get the money to hire a lawyer?

3) Try to avoid being arrested while applying for the Modest Means program?

Ywo years later I face a possible foreclosure and have discovered that walkthrough sign off sheet was never signed and made part of fole for issuing of loan docs and for funding , realtor and developer stuck one on my door backdated 2 yrears and are asking me to sign. iiAre they having trouble forclosing without this mandatory paperwork. My understanding is contract is null and void by ommossion of this as it must be signed off for issuing loan docs and for funding at Title. Can i bail out of this loan based on this ommission of a very important piece of Paper. From what I have read they proceded wothout following their own rules and due dilligence in their haste to fund the loan , I believe Title is responsible for allowing loan to fund without it. They know they blew it but wont communicate with me so I did not sign backdated sign off sheet. Need Title expert to give the right remedy at this time . Tahnks for your help.

I am getting the run-around by my mortgage co. all payments up to date and house in foreclosure. there is too much info to list in this box but are the lawyers and mortgage company required to respond if I dispute their claims that I owe $ 3,978. they lie and lie and lie and never have a record of me requesting a print-out of monetary transactions. Now I am in forclosure, how does this happen when you make all of your payments. by the way, they lost $2,100 and have no record of it. I faxed them the cashed check but they never got it. I faxed it again and they still never got it, I asked if there was an address where I could send it certified mail and they refused to give me an address. WTF????

I WAS GIVEN THIS QUESTION IN CLASS TODAY

Because of the overlapping nature of the powers in a federal system, there are often conflicts between the various levels of government. What is another example of an issue that has become a problem because of differing ideas/laws from the state to the federal level? What is the current status of this issue today? Is it still a problem?

NOW PLEASE READ ON:

The first thing that comes to mind on conficting ideas/laws is the issue of providing illegal aliens with driver's licenses and in-state tuition.


That's what I thought of so far, but what can I say about the differing ideas. Does the federal government and the state governments have hold different opinions?

I have a lot of ideas running through my head, but I need help sorting it out... Is there anyone out there who has a clue about what I'm trying to say? Could you help?

THANK YOU!

I must admit I'm not too political-savy. And actually would have plenty of questions, that I don't dare ask right now for fear of being ridiculed, but isn't this unexpected of Republicans, to be "converting" precisely to a Democratic candidate which has not the best chances of winning, out of lack of experience, being too youthfull still, and not having been able knock out of the way his biggest obstacle; Hillary?

I was working at a community college in california for about 6 months. My last month working there was three months ago. Long story short, the payroll clerk did not send my final payroll slip to the main payroll office until about a month and a half ago. I call the payroll office daily to find out any information about when I will be receiving my final check. The woman is always busy, or hasnt heard anything, or she'll call me back, which never happens. My question is what can I do? It isn't very much money, only about 300 dollars. Can I file a complaint to a state board or to a better business bural or anything? Would it be worth taking legal actions or will it cost more that not getting it. I'm a college student and I cannot afford to drive back and forth to the school, it's about 70 miles away from my home, to hassel the people nor can I afford very much time but I don't want them getting away with this or doing it to another student.

I got a speeding ticket for going 90mph in a 55 mph zone ( highway). My reason for speeding, is that I am a new driver and the officer was tailgating me, trying to make me go faster. I got nervous, especially since the officer was in an unmarked green car. i thought it was a regular driver tailgating me, so i sped off to avoid him.


Do you think this is a good enough reason for my actions? Also, this cop was in an unmarked vehicle like I said, and I really don't think that he had my speed recorded to use as evidense.

Oh yeah, and earlier, there was another cop that WUZ marked as police, in front of me. I was in between the cop infront of me, and the unmarked cop behind me. the one behind me was trying to make me go faster by tailgating me ( as i mentioned)
