I need someone who really knows this stuff well. My boyfriend is 18 and im 16. I hear that as long as your less then 5 years apart, it's not Statutory Rape. Then i hear, 16 is the legal age where you arent considered a victim of Statutory Rape anymore. But, my brother and his wife said that if my boyfriend touches me sexually, theyll "take him down". Everyone, including my guy friends are getting on his back and i just want to know the truth of what it is, so i can prove to everyone that their wrong, or take this stuff into consideration. Help....

How many people does the President have the right to make disappear in the name of Terrorism without the benefit of Habeas Corpus? How long is it before he realizes that assuming this kind of power resembles that of a dictator and he uses that power to make you disappear because you object? At what point does the Congress stand up and do its duty to abide by the Constitution and get rid of this C student? If your so willing to give up this kind of power, then didn't Osama succeed, leaving us all shivering in our boots. for fear of another attack? Everyone that answers my question and is willing to give him this power... to do so is treason and you to are guilty. How many of you ever wondered why the Germans followed Hitler and didn't say "NO" or the Italians following Mussolini. Where they treasonous to their Constitution or did the gratification justify the means? We as Americans need to seriously thing about the road we follow and the risks we take with our democracy.

Let's say you are applying for a job at a retail store. The retail store is hiring, and you present yourself fine to the store while applying for the job. Several weeks go by and they don't call you in for a job interview. Soon enough, you call the retail store's hiring manager for a follow up on your application. You are told by the hiring manager that you qualify for the job, but they don't want to interview you because you they don't like your physical appearence. Then they tell you that they also don't like the fact you are not the opposite sex/gender.

Would I need some type of evidence, to sue a reatil store for descrimination?

I believe it does. It enables lazy people to stay lazy. During two times in my life I have lived in poor neighborhoods. I have seen it first hand. People who are able to work but don't want to do anything that might "interfere" with their benefits.

I'm absolutely TERRIBLE with politics and government. In fact, I don't even know whether I'm democrat or republican. If someone could please answer these next few questions for me, you'd be my lifesaver...
1)Does each state government have its own legislative and judiciary branches?
2)Define federalism (on a low enough level that someone who knows nothing about politics can understand it).
3)Define Republicanism (same applies here as above).

Thank you soooooooooooooooooooo much!!!

I don't understand Americans, they say they don't have problem with immigrants, only with ilegal immigrants

But then tell me, how would you then immigrate legally to the U.S.? (Without getting married, waiting for amnesty or whatever cheat) The government loves illegals and makes it almost impossible for people to come to the U.S. legally.

They don't have any points system like Canada, where based on your skills you can make a livin and be happy, they only encourage illegal immigration

Or how would you then explain that there is no illegal immigration in Canada? or at least there are much less illegals than in the U.S. !!

a guy went to a medical center and got a needle. something went wrong and he died so the doctors stuffed him in the closet because they just opened and they didnt want it to be closed already. there was a fire down the street and the police came and told them to get out. they knew after that people would be investigating so they through the dead person through The Barbershop's window that was across the street
he crashed to the ground and the medical center ran and got burnt to death
'\

I asked an Arab friend what his country's response would be to a problem we are having with our school district and he thought I was joking .......

My son wore a cross to school and the school had him remove it as it might offend someone - so I asked my friend what would happen to a Christian wearing a cross in Egypt..

He told me nothing would happen - his Muslim country has no problem with Christians wearing crosses in public , at school or university.

That seems rather strange to me - in the US we are so worried about offending non Christians and political correctness that we are repressing Christians worse than a Muslim repubic govenment.

Anyone else see the irony in that? Opinions please.

I have heard it takes about two weeks for a package to arrive and we are only to use USPS.

If I send something of value, should I buy insurance, even though it is out of the postal system's hands once it leaves this country?

Also, if the post office marks it as fragile and there is insurance on it....are they more likely to take better care of it? (I've heard that some sailors get their boxes in pretty abused shape.)

Is there anyway I can send a package with speedier delivery so that I can send home baked goods?

Are there any items I am banned from shipping to a sailor on board a ship? (besides, obviously, alcohol.)

Thanks in advance...I am having a difficult time locating people that have the answers to these questions...and I would REALLY like to get this holiday package in the mail.

Do Navigators or Offensive/Defensive Weapons Officers log hours that are considered flight time for aircraft, say if they wanted to pursue a career in Civil Aviation for airlines. Or do Navigators have to learn to fly at all. This of course would be like a F-15E or B-1 crew.

Michael Moore just did a movie, "Sicko", had an opportunity to illustrate the truly evil and greedy faction of health care- trial lawyers- ignored it, as if tort reform isn't one of the most important problems in health care. How many needless operations & procedures are done because of trial lawyers?
(John Edwards are you listening?) How many medical care givers and hospitals are victimized by excessive insurance and risk from these "legal" mercenaries? All Michael goes after is business (his true enemy) insurance companies and drug companies.....

So, we know health care issues were never Michael Moore's true agenda. He's consistent with the communist strategy to attack our way of life, our faith, our patriotism, family, marriage and God.

So what he is really doing besides over eating and getting rich?
