Politics & Government - 18 November 2007

Okay, I work in a care home for Adults with mental health issues. On friday we had a new resident come to us whose going to be with us for aprox 2 weeks, COULD be perment. Anyway yesterday I had to call my deputy manager in as he had become very violent towards not only other residents but my staff aswel. (Im a senior). I tried to use what I had been taught in my challenging behaviour courses but unfortunatly we are only taught to "TALK" them out of their violent outbursts. We are told we are NOT allowed to defend ourselves in any way, shape or form. Meaning we are not allowed to use self defence, or ANY forms of restraint. We wouldnt be able too anyway as none of us have had this training.

My question is.....After yesterday two of my staff are petrified of him and are talking about leaving if he stays permently, I have to agree with them. My partner works with learning disabilities and they ARE trainned in restraint and self defence.

the story i got from my brothers 5 min phone call from riverside county jail in CA is he was stopped by a police officer because he has long hair and looks to be the hippie type, the officer was trying to search him even though my bro did not consent and the cop was giving him attitude and the cop tried to detain him and my brother snapped and punched the cop in the face twice giving him a black eye and his partner shot him with the tazer subduing him. my brother didnt have any drugs or weapons on him so that isnt an issue. he is currently being held on assault/battery on a peace officer charges. he is planning to plead guilty and im wondering how long he is going to be in for. i realize it was a stupid, if not retarded thing to do but he is my brother and i want to support him in his time of need. can anyone tell me what his likely sentence will be? are we talking double digits?

Due to Bush's lame duck, new immigration law has failed couple of times. Who's supportive with extension of H-1visa and GreenCard Quota? Obama? Hillary?

Do you think either of them would support new immigration law that supports foreigners?

I also want to know what you think about each party, whether you come from Australia or not and whether you think John Howard will retain his seat of Bennelong.

If you're unfamiliar with the Australian election, please see http://www.aec.gov.au.

I want to hear your opinions. Make sure you say whether you're in Australia or not. If you know your electorate, please say it with your state. I don't want to know who you think will win, remember! Thanks!

Yes that does say Venezuela and since most people are wondering why he would say - not to attack his country . Well its because you constantly listen to nonsense ! The US is heading towards Venezuela - Not Iran .

Anyway here's some of the article -

Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan president, has warned that oil prices could surge to 0 if America attacks against his country or Iran.

In his opening address at a rare Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) summit in the Saudi capital, he declared that Opec should "assert itself as an active political agent".

India has been the largest producer of milk and milk products in the world ever since it overtook the US in 1997.
We produce much more than our consumption requirements and there's plenty left for various processed foods such as sweets, yogurt, cheese, ice-cream etc...
Yet adulteration is rampant. Children die after consuming poisonous spurious milk made from chemicals such as Urea.
Just for earning a little profit, people's lives are being exposed to this grave threat. A few greedy people are running such rackets and the worst part is, that THEY HAVE NO FEAR OF LEGAL CONSEQUENCES. The legal penalty is neither potent nor does it generate any apprehension in the minds of these criminals.

Shouldn't adulteration of food be considered equivalent to cold blooded attempt to murder and be equally punishable by law?.

The cold war is over, Germany is reunified...(maybe the soldiers like it there, who wouldn't like being paid to do practically nothing, but I dont think its the case)...

Except for ballistic missles, I think the German Defense Forces can handle themselves well if some rogue in eastern europe tries something.

So y are we still in germany?

Sometimes I wonder if he really is that bad. I'm sure we can say negative things about every president we have ever had.

I am just curious and would like to know how many of you in answers would support electing someone NOT born in America for the President of the United States of America. The reason I ask is there is a mainstream attempt to hijack our constituion and make an ammendment to let foreigners run this country. Arnold Swarzennegger wants to be President and is getting powerful people behind his idea and the pressure is on to change the constitutional requirement of nationality. Do you support this?
