Today I was driving down a 2 way road. One side was under construction. There was a strip about 75yards long that was unavailable to drive on. 2 police officers were directing traffic. However, the 1 that was closest to me (supposed to be directing me) was on his cell phone sitting on the back of 1 of the construction trucks. So, I couldn't tell if the other officer (farthest away from me) was waving me to come or stop. I have 20/20 vision- no glasses- I had my eyes checked 4months ago. I could see him fine. But he wasn't clear in his signals. The other side of traffic was stopped. I thought he was waving me to go, so I went. When I was driving by him he yelled at me to "stop!". So I did. He then said "Is your mind in the f*****g right place?"- in a very rude manner. I just looked at him, a little stunned, and didn't say anything. He then said calmly "well, go ahead". I was so confused. Did he want me to stop and I didn't? Should I have said something to him?

Even the old style credit card fraud is retitled I.D fraud or I.D theft, it used to simply be called deception. Is anyone else cynical about this, are we being programmed to "willingly" accept I.D cards?

Why does it seem one group gravitate towards one party, while the other group gravitates towards the other?

Do you have the right to shoot them? Didn't they set the value of their life at the value of your tv or whatever else they were looking to steal, or do you just run out and hide and call the police?

I listened to a news story this morning that isn't unique but continues to baffle me . Apparently 2 guys on a motorcycle crashed and died after fleeing police . As a result the locals in that neighborhood are rioting and protesting . Now we've all heard similar stories in recent years . . . . . Somebody breaks the law - Flees - The police pursue in an attempt to make an arrest - And sometimes the offenders crash injuring themselves and others . . . . .So why the riots - Why protest ?
Not very long ago people would've said 'Too bad, they shouldn't have broke the law , and they shouldn't have run' . Their injuries are their fault. . . nobody elses .

So how did some people's politics evolve to this point ?
And why oh why does this always seem to happen in Democratic areas .. . . almost, if not exclusively in Democratic areas ?

When I was in combat there was so much going on I did not have time to get scared, it was later almost a week that I found myself scared for no apparent reason.

I was decorated with a bronze star with v device, as a corpsman I feel that I was doing my job and did not disserve any special recognition for my actions on that day. But at the same time I was and am very proud to have received such an honor.

It is said that bravery is not the absence of fear but experiencing fear and doing what needs to be done anyway.
Heroism is someone who does the right thing at great and possible mortal risk.

The WTO says 50 Million abortions in the US after Roe VS. Wade. 98% were for convenience sake. In a country that has a 7 year waiting list to adopt. So before you ask if I adopted think how meaningless that question is when there is already a huge line of people waiting to.

I have been trying to get copies of footage possibly copied by public cameras on a nyc street last monday. I've been trying since last week, but the holidays and my inexperience in this has gotten me no where. I can't even find a lawyer to get these tapes for me. Is it too late for me to get the footage?

Also, if anyone knows of the kind of lawyer I would need to get this that'd be great as I'm not having any luck finding someone that will do this little thing of getting me a copy of these tapes.

after we fired him. We told him we were waiting for our loan to close (securing a loan was part of our original contract with him) and then would be in touch regarding his payment. There's a foundation issue - he screwed up and didn't build it to the engineered plans and so we fired him and now have to get the foundation fixed. Anyway, yesterday we decided to pay him the random items on his invoice that were not related to the foundation, as sort of a good faith thing. That went out in the mail yesterday. This morning I get the lien notice. Should I stop payment on the check I sent out? Also, if he cashes that check is there some sort of legal loophole that goes "Aha you accepted payment you have to lift the lien!"
Any advice would be helpful. I'm waiting to hear back from the bank to see if we can bond around it before we do ANYTHING, but I'm going stir crazy.
