I turn 18 on 12/20/07. I went to www.sss.gov and gathered that I have to register for the selective service first, then sss will send me a confirmation letter via mail, and then I can go through the CO process. However, the website appeared unprofessional and misleading. Any suggestions for interpreting an evil govt's policies?

Why do I ask? Because I think its the first time the American public became aware of Bush's treason. Not to say it was the first or last time he has stabbed us in the back but it was an eye opener even for the most fervent conservatives.

It's all the rage these days:

The king of Spain's recent undiplomatic outburst at the Venezuelan president has become a ringtone hit across Spain.

An estimated 500,000 people have downloaded the insult featuring the words "Why don't you shut up?", generating a reported 1.5m euros ($2m).

"It's a form of protest," a 21-year-old student in Caracas told the Miami Herald. "It's something that a lot of people would like to tell the president."

who else has the feeling that those in power are always advocating things that every bone in your body tells you is not really good for the citizens of this country? For example, when you say that you are concerned about record budget deficits, they tell you don't worry, and that borrowing all that money from foreign countries to make ends meet is actually a good thing. When you question why our trade deficits are so high, they tell you that record trade deficits are actually a sign that our economy is doing great. When you question allowing millions of the world's poorest to flood into our country and a lot of them illegally and your common sense tells you that it cant be good for middle and lower class americans, they tell you that they are only doing jobs that americans dont want to do, and that the extra supply of labor miraculously does not drive down wages. Whe you question why housing prices were so high, they told you that it was a great market and that great wealth was

lets look at both sides: Liberals think that they can fix anything or anyone, in our courts liberlas think that everyone can be re-habilitated and Repubicans well they are just too high strong as soon as you do something wrong they do not hear reason or what was wrong they nip it in the but if your wrong your worng and if your right your wrong so what do you think is this a good or bad and can they come to a middle point of view.

My friend sent a large box filled with my clothing to me using UPS. I never recieved the package and I checked online to see where the package was, the last place it was scanned was in jacksonville Florida. We called UPS several times because it has been 4 weeks. They finally said the package has been lost and they are putting a Trace on it. Apparently they may choose to compensate if they cant find the clothing. The problem is the guy at the store put the value of the clothes as $100 because they are used. The real value of the clothes is between $10,000-12,000. Does anyone know if i will be able to get the real value of the clothes or if I can sue them? Any suggestions would be greatly apprieciated. Thanks

"We're floundering in a quagmire in Iraq. Our strategy is flawed, and it's too late to change it. Our resources have been squandered, our best people killed, we're hated by the natives and our reputation around the world is circling the drain. We must withdraw."

Best answer to whoever guesses correctly.

Boston Police are looking to search homes without search warrants.

No one can say the Boston Massachusetts is a conservative town friendly to George Bush, so why is it OK for the liberals to bash down doors of peoples homes without search warrants while they oppose the Patriot Act?

Frankly I would rather let the gvmt listen to phone calls of terrorist than to let police search my home without a warrant.

Clearly this trashes the constitution.

If the libs are put into national office next year, is this what we can expect from them? The shredding of the 4th amendment?

How do libs justify trashing the Constitution like this?

Should they be made to register themselves as sex offenders?
Should the government (state, local, national) register them so they can't avoid it in ANY way?
Should the just be imprisoned for life, to ensure that they can never hurt another person as long as they live?
And should they be set up with security details so they aren't harmed during their prison stay, or should they be left to the mercy of their fellow inmates- as every other felon is?

We were both on the lease together, but payed seperatly. She has not payed for two months now and we are going to be evicted. The eviction is going to go on my credit as well, and I am not happy. I have payed on time every month the entire time I have been here, so now I want to sue her for the damages to my credit etc. Does anyone know anything about this or if it is even possible to win this? Do you think a landlord in the future will consider me more if I show that I had sued over the eviction?

Thanks!

A guy owns a house and then his girlfriend moves in with him. They live there together for a few years. The house is only in his name, but she lives there full time and gets all her mail there. Not sure if they actually split bills or not, but it's all in his name. They get into a fight and he threatens her. She gets a restraining order against him and he's not allowed in his house by the cops. He says she doesn't live there (not true) and she shows them that she gets mail there. How would this guy go about getting her out of his house or is he screwed?

Before anyone jumps in and is opposed to National Health Care over the issue it is Socialism, yes it is. But a degree of Socialism is necessary to society, it is not the road to Communism as some people fear.
National Health Care already exists. Medicare covers Senior Citizens and the Disabled. Medicaid covers the poor, some of which have never had jobs (though most actually do have jobs) and many states have health care programs. So, it is the middle classes and much of the working poor paying in for the care of others. Where's your share?
I say the solution has been at hand since 1964. It' called Medicare. Like any other insurance, the system survives by healthy people contributing to the funds. And when needed the coverage is availably to them. I say make everyone eligible for Medicare. Half of the coverage is automatic, the other half voluntary. And our existing system of medical neglect might be costing us more.
