Politics & Government - 18 November 2007

I recently received a citation from an officer that I was not guilty of. Instead of contesting, however, I decided to submit my request to the court to take defensive driving. After 3 weeks, I received no notice from the court, so I inquired about the status of my case. It turns out the municipal court has NO record of my ticket, presumably because the officer never filed the citation.

It has been 1 month now and my scheduled court appearance date is Today. I intend to show up in court and speak with the judge, since the court has no record of the citation, it has not been able to issue me approval for taking defensive driving.

To anyone with personal experience on this issue: What do you think about motioning to dismiss charges? I think that without good reason, failure to file citations in a timely manner reflects lack of organization and judgment and obstructs the workflow of the court as well as (me) the citizens affected.

My wife is looking at possible back surgery, and just had a biopsy where they found cancerous cells, more testing is needed, but with two young children, making it to appointments is all but impossible for her. I want to go home and take care of my family because our rear detachment is lousy at taking care of familes, which happens to be their main mission while troops are downrange so we can perfom our missions without worry. I am worried for my wife, she cries on the phone because she is torn between our two children, and her own health. Any suggestions to make my chain of command realize that if our rear D doesn't want to help out my wife, that I need to go home so I can????

My husband is in the Army right now and deploying to Afghanastan. While he is over there he plans on re-enlisting, but he also told me about the National Guard full time. He said it is very rare for them to deploy, and you basically stay in the same spot the whole time you are in. But the down side is it's hard to get into a spot, and it's hard to make rank. Does anyone know about how to get into this, if it's true about not deploying much, what about rank.
Also I am worried about the rank, he went from E1 to E5 in 2 1/2 years, and most hopefully will make E6 once he hits his four year mark. I am worried about him still being able to make rank, because this is very important to him ad he works hard for it, I don't want him to re-enlist for something like this and be miserable.
Is there any other options to stay at the same base the whole time, other than civilian. Can you still retire after 20 years?
As much information you know about thi would be a great help, thank you!

On 25 Oct 2007 11:30am, my car was hit by a truck. I have made a claim on the second day. And received a letter on 19 Nov 2007. The insurance company said their clients versions so are different at that point. They must support their client. If I have an independent witness who is prepared to support my version of the acciden. Then they will change their position.

The truck driver version

I was hit by a truck driver. He said I'm tried to turn right
and then turn left again. It's not his fault.

My versionI

I found that a big noise crash from my left hand side. And
saw a big truck hit my left hand side. I slowed down my car
and press the horn. The driver was driving away. I stop my
car and checked the passenger side mirror was broken. I
kept press the horn. After two left corner, the driver was
stopped by two people on the pavement. So I got the
information to make a claim.

What can I do?

*tries out there? Sweden is a good example. Are the people who oppose this system only do so because they are rich capitalists and like exploiting their workers and think they deserve billions while the workers deserve minimum wage?

I am a little confused over the MLK holiday; when I think of Dr King, I think of his message, God's message- to bring people together, foregiveness, healing wounds and accepting others who are different.

Our civil rights leaders, Sharpton and Jackson, pervert Dr King's message with race baiting, personally gaining power & money by exploiting victims, a partnership with the socialist element of liberalism and an absolute agenda to prevent healing, to prevent racial harmony and pour fuel on the fire of racial discord. Jackson and Sharpton are the antithesis of Dr King's message, this is undeniable.

Should a true follower of Dr King's message, attempt to speak and attempt to bring Dr King's message to all people, who would his opponents be?

Hopefully, someone's eyes will be opened from this question.

Think about who would betray, attack, demean, dig up dirt, disparage- a sincere and honest messenger of Dr King's message?

When shopping at a local store I was not allowed to purchase a gaming system because I have already purchased one weeks back and was in their system. Is there any consumer protection laws that protect against this. I mean if the item is in stock on the shelf, no line, can any store refuse a sale?

Please no assumptions or guesses.

Thanks

A 21 year old boy meets a girl at a 18+ club. They go out in a few dates. Then, they decide to have sex at her house. While having sex, the father walks in. He sees what they are doing and immediately calls the cops.

The cops arrive and ask "why did you call us?" The father says "this 21 year old boy is having sex with my 15 year old daughter." (she looks about 19 and was using a fake id)

What do you think happens to the boy?

Do you think he gets convicted of statutory rape?

All of the troops in both Iraq and Afghanistan are volunteers. Therefore they have chosen to place themselves in positions that leave them injured and disabled! If they were to have remained civilians they would not have been exposed to these situations. It was their own doing that brought these conditions upon themselves so therefore legally they aren't entitled to any disability benefits what so ever!

I have a problem. on september 20 my apartment was broken into and my computer was stolen with other items. I spoke to management and they said for me to do what I have to do toMy bf wants me to sue them I am a little hesitant because i am shy and dont know how to go about it. But after talking to his grandma- I am want to sue them the correct way. She told me to write them a letter satting everythign that happened and what agreements we made and also point out what they did not follow up on and to only pa half the rent and send a copy of the police report. But now he is calling me a punk saying why do I want to write them a letter- when I think it seems right to do what she said. I had to install window gates and a new door lock to ensure my safety and my unborn child. ANd know he is making me very upset and now I dont know what to do anymore. What should I do? Should I just sue them or send the letter out and sue them?
