They want to teach our kids that we evolved from a bunch of dim-witted monkeys, instead of preaching the Bible-proven truth, which is that we was created by Gawd!

Many people agree with locker searches for the safety but what if the 'reasonable suspision' is from someone who hates you or has an agenda? Or if you have embarassing female products or contraceptives in there? It is the schools but it is yours while your there, we should feel okay about using them and not always looking over our shoulders to see who is looking in ot spy. I completely agree with scent dogs and metal detectors not with open lockers. How do you feel?

Keep in mind that a lot of Democrats wear the uniform, especially when they return to civilian life.

Whenever I see this great new technology to analyze peoples facial profile, or put cameras in schools to protect children, these "privacy" advocates come out of the woodwork and cry foul. What do you think? I really like a safer society...

Got a £60 fine for this. I was due to collect a duplicate disc, as I had never received my original after ordering online just over 1 month ago.
Is it worth writing to appeal this? and although I was away for much of the month, potentially I could have been driving without displaying the disc for a considerable amount of time - could this result in a harsher penalty.

A friend of mine saw a known child molester working at a local Truck Stop near our home as a janitor. When she confronted the manager to ask if he realized this man was a child molester she was told he was not able to ask questions like that due to HIPPA. This man has access to children and bathrooms....Not all parents watch their children as carefully as they should. Has anyone heard of this or know where I could find more information?

Please serious answers only...there is nothing funny about this question.
Peace.

Here is the logic behind shipping jobs overseas, in particular assembly jobs that low skilled workers can do. I am not defending the position, just giving you the logic.
The items America produces the best in the world are complicated industrial machinery. Best example of this would be bulldozers, earth moving equipment, and farm equipment made by companies like John Deere and Caterpillar.
Because of the standard of living in the USA, American labor cannot compete in the manufacture of consumer items that sell for $100 or less on the international market. In order to compete, production cost would have to be cut, which effects the quality of the item. In other words, it would be junk.
In countries like China and India, in particular, labor is so cheap that hiring 1000 people with shovels cost less than buying an earth mover to build roads or whatever. The notion is to send these assembly jobs of small consumer items to these countries to raise the standard of living there so it is no longer cost effective to use manual labor over machinery on big projects.
This is starting to work in China. Both China and India are several decades away from having a skilled labor force that will actually be able to produce complication industrial machinery that works.
Bear in mind that selling a boat load of bulldozers to China is much more revenue, requires higher paying manufacturing labor, than a boat load of shoes China would sell to the USA.
Right now, companies that make highly engineered industrial equipment like 3M and GE are sending lots of equipment to China. Given time, the industrial expansion of China will create great demand for quality produced industrial equipment from the USA.

My boyfriend of 3months has decided to join the army. Our relationship is still fresh, but we've already begun talking about the future; marriage, children, growing old...the whole nine. We're working to pay off school and since money doesn't grow on trees, it's not easy. We're both young, 22 & 23. I live with grandma and he has an apt. w. his brother, so it's not like we have really big priorities...we're not struggling.

However, he's not happy with our situations right now. (And neither am I) So his reason for signing up is to take care of us. He wants to pay for our tution and get us an apt, then take things from there.

He wants to sign up to be a mechanic working on vehicles/machinery. Although he wouldn't be a soldier, it's the army. He can still go to Iraq and be put in harms way. If not Iraq, then somewhere else for who knows how long. I'm trying to be supportive, but he KNOWS I don't want him to go How can we possibly see eye to eye? And should I be worried? HELP!!!

"Since taking the majority, they have forced 40 votes on bills limiting President Bush’s war policy.

Not a single one has passed both chambers, even though both are run by Democrats. "

Isn't it time they understand that the public voted to end the war by winning it not by tucking tail and running away? Given their 23% approval rating (much lower than Bush's now) you would think they would finally get it.
