Please make your response as broad minded as possible and not try to lay the blame on just one or two culprits.

If a whole city is leading the nation in the record foreclosures that we are seeing, and we see which cities are the leaders, can we see some common threads that these cities have that would give us a better insight as to the real causes of the foreclosure mess?

Why even bother engaging in dialog if you get bombed no matter what anyway?

But let me say this: It is like a foreign nation bombing Los Angeles because of a gangster problem...

Anyway... I'm not a practicing Muslim (I'm Atheist), though I come from a family thats embarrassingly Islamic... sometimes I think it is no wonder they get bombed... they just can't keep their mouths shut and accept that this is not their world...

When will the sexual abuse of children stop? What is wrong with these people and how do they live with themselves? Often times I hear they lie to themselves saying the child likes it but that is BULL. They try to justify things that can't be justified in order to make themselves feel better. Anyone who is reading this who has kids, nieces, nephews,... do whatever it takes to strengthen the laws against these sick individuals. I was abused as a child and I have never, nor will I ever be, the same since. Seriously, do whatever it takes to stop this....obviously the laws aren't working....

What if… any number of US states (or even one) chose to secede from the USA for any reason. This is the 21st century… it could be because of politics or a Supreme Court ruling or... most anything. Open your mind.

Metaphorically speaking in the strictest terms, of course.

World the EU be inclined to either recognize those states as independent and sovereign or... side with Washington and ignore them util they were reigned back in?

Further down the line…

If a seceded state were to request entry into the EU, what do you think would be the reaction? Would they entertain the notion or turn them back?

The world is changing…

How about it? If the US maintained an open immigration policy with the stipulation that you must be able to meet the immigration policies of the nation you are leaving wouldn't that be fair. After all look at Canadian immigration and their education requirements or how the Mexican Government treats Central American's.

Do people understand that the only companies that make money from carbon credit trading (or whatever you want to call it) are the companies that do right by the environment and don't need to buy credits?

Do they understand that Al Gore's movie sold so well because people obviously agree that George Bush's policies have neglected the environment for too long?

Do people understand that Al Gore did not "invent" either global warming nor the internet?

Do they understand that there is a big money-making scheme going on that would be disrupted by environmentalism? (That would be fossil fuel dependance.)

Driving your Hummer is just plain uncaring and irresponsible anyway you look at it.

Your thoughts?

Ok, so I have been at odds with my LPO and chief about the way they have been treating me...Basically I was fired from supervisor and demoted to worker, but when anything went wrong (esp when I was gone) I would come back and they would blame it on me but then when they couldn't I was their little miracle worker (no pun intended) and could fix anything...I have spent the last 3 months bailing them out and today they sent me up to talk to someone and I got my *** chewed for no reason so I came back down and informed them that I was going to my Dept Head, and I did...

Well after talking to him, he called them in and they completely turned the situation on me (go fig.) and that they had nothing personal against me and blah blah blah...Well he sided with them and I couldn't win regardless of what I said, I finally said that it was over and we could let it go...should I have done that knowing that I was on the losing end or continued to fight?

While sitting in the parking lot late at night with one of my friends, a cop car pulled up next to us. He shined his light inside and asked what we were doing. He didn't believe we were just talking, so he came over and asked for our licenses. After talking for about five minutes, he told me to unlock the back door. I unlocked the back door for him, but he opened the door and he never asked for permission to search the vehicle. He then claimed to have found a marijuana leaf, and asked if anyone smoked marijuana in the car previously. I said one of my friends did and then told me to step out of the car. He then patted me down, and searched my pockets, where he found a bag with a couple grams of marijuana and my pipe. After, he repeatedly asked me if I could buy marijuana from my dealer, and threatened to check back if I didn't call his partner to provide him with information. Can I still argue that the cop did an illegal search of my vehicle in court? What about entrapment?
