Politics & Government - 23 November 2007

I just got finished paying $1300 in repairs, and owner said I need another part and labor would be $500 extra on top of this.

I called him by phone and we do alot of business (whole family of 6 goes in to get serviced by him). He asks if I have a credit card # if I could give him to buy the $300 part over the phone. He said he has no money on him and he owns the business! Then he said come over to his place, and buy the part, pay $300 cash and then to bring my car a couple days later to get fixed.

And we've paid so much in cash every time services were finshined and performed to this owner.

Is he a slither scumbag, or do you find this very suspicious?

My boyfriend won't be going in to basic training until next year, but of course im getting pretty worried a head of time. along with my fear that he's going to come out a different person (with all respect, Im really not attracted to the stereotypical military attitude, atleast in a husband).

Also, we dont really believe in the whole idea of legal marraige, which also causes a problem with just about...everything. I'm afraid that, because i wouldnt be recognized as a dependent by his job, i'll end up just being this crazy lady with no health insurance that follows him around the country.

will he be placed in bachelor housing? will i never be able to live with him because i wont be in the housing allowance? thats pain that i don't know if i could deal with...we are inseparable at this point and i dont know what id do if that was the case...just living on my own, him visiting me, and living on base by himself.

do you think this is what i'll be doomed to?

Ok, firstly I am real sorry to bore you all with this, but it's kind of important to me.

8 policemen say I did something, I say I did not.

I want to see them in court but am representing myself (see previous questions as to why).

How do I get them there, or is it the prosecution who should bring them to back up their own case?

Re the `child benefit info` fiasco. Now can we really trust the government with all our `indentity card` info? They keep saying `sorry, next time we will will get it right` - but they never do.

Surely this is a wake-up call to all of us - the red light. How many times do we need warning...or are we too apathetic to care, until it is too late?

Just imagine ALL our info - every single citizen of the UK falling into the hands of...!
The mind boggles.

Any comments are welcome. You might want to go that extra mile and give examples or go on a long rant.

"Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure – one world, if you will," he wrote.

This has been a matter of some debate lately, but I don't know how much it really matters. Rarely has a President won without winning the popular vote. 3 or 4 times I think.

I think it would be a pretty good idea, at least for now.

What do you think?

I purchased a hot beverage from a restaurant. After it cooled I was drinking it and found a piece of plastic tubing. The tube was about an inch in length and one end was cut at a slant. I was lucky not to cut my mouth, let alone swallow it. Do I have any recourse here or would I be wasting my time? I have contacted their main office, but have not heard from them yet.
Any advice is appreciated.
