It seemed the economy was the Bush adms only bragging point.....if we have a recession I don't think there will be any question.....I think his efforts at nation building have bankrupted us but that won't hit us till years down the road...not a liberal but a realist.

Hey, I'm a college student.
Is it a copyright infringement/plaigerism if I directly post certain passages of my school textbooks online? I plan on posting my study outlines in a blog to hopefully help other students study.. and maybe even get other people involved.

.. so can i?

If this is correct, that we need to show support to the president as evidence we support the troops, why is it that of the homeless in America, 25% are veteran? Where is their support when they return home? If Bush is SO behind the US service personnel, why is the VA gutted and so many of those who offered themselves for our country are sitting on heating grates and in shelters. Where is their support from our administration? He wants our support, but where is his?

They trained me, turned me into a man, showed me the world, payed for my 1st, 2nd and 3rd college degree. I would not change any of my military experiences. In fact my only regret is that I left the military.. But then I look at my wife (who i would not have met had I stayed) and I am OK with my choice... In fact I never met a Veteran who had a horrible experience... Someone I know will reference the current news paper saying that 250000 vets were homeless, but I have NEVE met a VET who was desparately needy...

By the way, I was in juvenile detention custody for 3 years prior to entering the service... My family was destitute... I had to get 5 waivers to get in.... THANKS USN FOR TAKING A CHANCE WITH ME... YOU GUIDED ME... I moved from e-1 through e-5 in 2 years..... I busted my but... I only had a 9th grade education when I joined...

As far as I know, ANYONE WHO puts effort in will be rewarded with a great life...

I need to settle a little debate with my friend.
She reckons all Americans are ignorant to things that happen outside they're own country. She believes they are so wrapped up in their own news they are unaware of the world around them.
I personally disagree, I think you guys do know who our prime minister is! :)
prove me right! :P

Do they understand the situation. Is an immigrant illegal when he robs a Circle K? The court don't seem to be getting it.
The American Supreme Court will take some steps when the Mexican Suprems Court says it is justified. Please don't show ignorance by saying the American Court does not care what the Mexican Court says. That is what international laws are for. The UN is an assembly of representatives of various nations supreme courts. In humanitarian issues they must all agree or it is war. All the members will say it is alright for Mexicans to keep crossing the border as they have for hundreds of years.

I can see how a high percentage of Americans want to made sure that Hillary is defeated, but why all the interest in whether Rudy, Thompson or Romney wins the Republican nomination? I doubt very seriously that it matters that much which one of them wins. They're all good candidates with a fundamentally conservative outlook on governing, even though there are some differences. For instance Rudy is pro-choice. So what? That is not going to have anything to do with what kind of job he does as President. President's don't have any influence over the infanticide issue anyway. If that were the case Bush would have had abortion outlawed seven years ago. The outcome of the Republican race isn't going to affect anyone's life one way or the other. The main thing is to insure that Hillary goes back to Arkansas, or wherever.

Girls these days marry the man to capture his belongings and rule over him. When the pressure is felt and the husband resents, the woman goes to the police station. Police pacifies them or files FIR. In both cases police is benefited and they would never want this law to go..!
Notorious women are using this law to insult damage health and extort money from in laws.

Considering the fact that our government now invades and occupies sovereign nations at will, and tries to tell others how to run their governments, I would say we are the big bully on the block. The fact that we kill thousands of innocents with our indiscriminate bombing campaigns puts us right up their with Hitler's Third Reich. I believe the god-fearing Muslims are correct.... America is the Great Satan, and I am sorely ashamed of the Feds for bringing us down to that level. We should have steered clear of Israel and other nasty foreign influences. Our good reputation is now a thing of the past.

Are you racially profiling around your neighborhood. Politicians are going to run head long into the Mexican Mafia's driveby's. They know that and will never inforce the "voluntary enforcement law. No officer must obey a law he feels is immoral. Here is where the police have the opportunity to show who they really are.

In the USA, productivity is rising but middle-class incomes are not. The gap between the very rich and everyone else is becoming power, the averange American worker is getting poorer.

Why is this happening? Is it due to globalization, to technology or to politics?

I have read LOTS of true crime books written by so-called 'Gangsters', and if they are to be believed, it seems the Police are often portrayed as being as criminal and corrupt as the crooks. The general public or Juries will more than not believe the police, so they do have this advantage. Who do most people believe?

My ex and I have a court order, but things changed, I proposed something else and we both signed a paper and both have a copy with the new time place for visitation. Will this hold up in court as far as him agreeing and me agreeing and if the judge doesn't like that agreement he can change it, but doesn't it look good that we agreed on something?

We have been doing this agreement since December 2006.

My ex comes maybe once to twice a month to visit
Doesn't work so he has plenty of time to come

Anyways, I was just wondering.

He is allowed to visit M-F for 3 hours each day but still only comes once a month. This last month he didnt come at all.

Thanks
