They do think think they are better than everyone else and think other countries are beneath them. They are so illiterate they only know the history of only their own country. It is like they live in a bubble.

What do you think?

Okay lets say someone steals someone TV. The cop catches him and the person that he stole the TV from does not want to press charges. Does he still go to jail for robbery or is it dropped because the owner of the TV does not want to press charges?

México, Nov. 23 (PL).— In the latest anti-immigration operation in the United States, dubbed "Zero Tolerance," 100 Mexican citizens were jailed and charged with crimes, it was announced today.

The operation was carried out by the U.S. Border Patrol along the area dividing Laredo, Texas and Mexican territory, and had been officially announced 20 days previously.

Instead of simply deporting Mexicans caught trying to cross the border without documentation, under the new policy they are incarcerated in distant federal prisons and charged with crimes that can be punished with further prison time and large fines.

This new policy is an intensification of Washington’s repressive policies against those who go north seeking work and was condemned by participants in the recently-held Parliament of Migrant Workers of Mexico. They described it as a violation of human rights because of the unjust manner in which they are kept incarcerated for an undetermined time and without the possibility of returning to their nation.

The U.S. Border Patrol itself confirmed to local media that 100 Mexicans had been arrested to date and charged with the federal crime of trying to enter the United States illegally.

Immigrant-rights activists also said that these operations include the placement of all types of barriers along the border, causing immigrants to take more dangerous routes to make the crossing.

From 1986 to date, 10,000 Mexicans have died of hunger, thirst or in the course of being pursued in desert and mountain areas, including women and children. http://www.granma.cu/ingles/2007/noviembre/vier23/48mexi.html

Recently, my son was caught smoking marijauna on school grounds and of course the school took action. We were called in; my son, myself, and my husband with the principal to discuss appropriate disciplinary actions. My son was told to leave the room and the principal, my husband, and i were in there private to discuss my son's fate.

My husband did not take this seriously from the beginning. He feels that marijauna is not a serious issue and feels that myself and the school are going overboard. At the meeting when the principal was discussing counseling and suspension, my husband said "counseling, what the hell is counseling gonna do, we'll pay that fine or whatever legal action comes our way and let it be." The principal is pretty much struck at my husband's "free" feeling towards this and he really brought me to shame in that office. Of course my son and husband are making me look like the bad guy and I don't know what to do about them. Am i in the wrong here?

If I were to be pulled over, and the officer said I was doing 54 in a 45 zone (but really was doing 45). Are you allowed to ask for proof of that?

In Australia every citizen is required to vote so populist policies and personalities can and do effect the outcome of elections.
Very few Labor, Liberal or whatever voters have any say in the selection of their party candidate. That is done by party members.
Since the candidate will represent a faction within the Party a dozen or less people actually decide the outcome in an electorate.
How democratic is that?
Many of us would be better off not voting at all. That means leaving the ballot blank.
Better to stay at home and risk a fine!!

I am chinese from mainland China. i have always believed Taiwan is part of china. However i like to look at a situation from different perspectives.
Why does Taiwan want to be independent from China?
What are the benifits for becoming their own country?
Is the whole China V.s. Taiwan animocity reasonable?
Why is taiwan claiming its not part of china when its goverments name is "republic of china"?
Since china is turning more democratic and capitalist by the day, is the difference in goverment really the reason for this conflict?

I asked alot so u dont have to answer all of them some feed back would be nice

and pliz dont comment on this if u dont understand the situation. thx for ur comments ,,\/(^.~)

With war on the cards with the United States and now most probably UK as they have more troops and more money now their pulling out of Iraq is only a short time away, which will give them chance for War with another country(What!, Again). Are we closer to war with Iran than ever before? But with all the warnings from France, UK, US, Germany (4 hugely powerfull countries) and other countries that they are ready for war with Iran why in there right mind are they carrying on in this way! I know if i was their president i would be scared as hell, and would stop. I am predicting a war very soon, but the US and UK may set of nurclear missales from there Nurclear Sumbranes in Northern Scotland,UK(Trident missiles can reach Iran from North Scotland) becasue this war is going to be much harder than Iraq to win, but i aint sure. Are we close to our first Nurclear war or even a war at all what do you think??

My friend was doing some scrapping as he has done in the past and as he was ready to turn the metal scrap in to the recycler in Beaverton,Oregon he was stopped by a Beaverton police officer.After doing all the normal checking and not coming up with anything the officer got out his code book and him and another Beaverton officer spent several mintues finding something they could charge him with,the charge reads as follows. (Failure to maintain a metal purchuse receipt)He went to court on the charge in the city of Beaverton and it was transfered to the Washington County Court which is in(Hillsboro,Oregon).He appeared in court there and a pre-trial date was set.I have read the ORS concerning this charge but Im wanting to know more about the charge and if it is a city ordaince or penal code or who has to keep there receipt,a busniess or a privite party.Im lost at this point to understand if your scrapping and turning it in to a recycler why you need to maintain a purchase receipt ect.

When I know that several of these laws are being broken by one organization. The county won't do anything about it because they are trying to cover their own rear ends, and some how they have kept the state out of it. What has gone on in this county in the past 15 years and still going on now is inexcusable. Misuse of goverment funds, theft of property, misuse of goverment property, vandilism of government property , mis use of an IRS Tax number. It is deplorable, and makes me angry personally because that is my tax money. and to see indiviuals profiting off of something that is supposed to be for the good of our community is infuriating.
But is there anything I can do? I don't want to say to much about what it is in a public forum, but I would like to know if there is anthing that could be done.

When you have a vehicle accident where no one is hurt and both vehicles are driveable can you write up a report without giving the at-fault driver a ticket? I work for an insurance company and I take accident claims over the phone and I had a caller today who was at the scene and the police officer (Washington D.C. PD) told the caller that he would have to give her a ticket if he did a report. I was just wondering. Thanks!
