Politics & Government - 28 November 2007

In our foolish state of Massachusetts, a proposal has been made to make spaning your child a crime. First off, how is it the government's business how I discipline my child, Second, imagine if this went through how many kids that are pissed at their parents will call 911, repoting their parents. As if the child protective services is not overwhelmed, understaffed and ineffective enough.
I was spanked when I was bad as a child, and hey, I am ok. Sure, there are cases of parents taking a spanking too far, but why would the majority have to suffer for the minority?

Looking for your thoughts on what life will be like as a parent trying to discipline their children if this law goes into effect? Also, do you see this issue as a waste of the legislatures time when their are far more important issues to be resolved?

Local online post of young woman in wheelchair looking for a place to live. Where she is, she is basically being held captive for her SS check. I wrote her I would come get her and give her (at least) a temp place so at least she is out of there. She has not replied. I am worried they found out what she is up to and they pulled her internet (as they have allegedly done in the past). I am starting to worry for her safety. Should I go to the police with my concerns about this stranger? If I do, what can the police do? Can they track her down through an anonymous online ad? Will this cause more trouble for her? Will I embarrass her? If this is a hoax or she is exaggerating, can I get into trouble for going to the police? I don't know what to do...this is eating me up....I am going to cross-post this question and see what kind of advice I can get...

I am 43 years old, married with 3 kids. I became very ill from my past employment with a lung disease in 2004. I have been in a workmans compensation since my illness. I have filed for disability and was turned down. I have taken matters into my own hands and went back to school. Trying to make ends meet are impossible, I know get a job. I wished i could but with my health issues if iwent back to work I could not afford my doctors care or make enough to support my family. This is why I have returned to school to get a degree in buissness. If there is anyone that would like to contribute to my cause to better my families ability to survive please contact me. This is not a scam it is a desperate cry for help. It is sad that the American Government has bigger needs then our own people. If they would invest more in our own people then other countries i could find help there. Thank-You for reading this and god Bless

the entry in mybirth certificate it is correct.And in allmy papers my name is complete as it is in the birth certificate.The only problem is the placement of lll.In DFA they said that here in our country we usually placed lll after the name coz its the additional of our name and not for our surname.
But in USA they placed the additional of the name after the surname coz its the way how its written in the birth certificate.
So in filling up forms in the embassy which should i have to follow in my passport or the papers that being approved by the USCIS?

THIS IS RESPONSE TO A QUESTION ON FOX NEWS TRIAL:
Just reported the FACTS of the case, and how FOX NEWS argued it -- no biased whatso ever -- just the facts.

- - - -- - - -- -

fox was taken to court by reporters that didn't want their stories twisted


During their appeal, FOX asserted that there are no written rules against distorting news in the media. They argued that, under the First Amendment, broadcasters have the right to lie or deliberately distort news reports on public airwaves.

- - - - - - - - -- - -

Immediately, the answerers response was THUMBS DOWN.

Does this Prove that Fox Viewers dont want the truth?
That they will argue with Facts?
That they will do whatever it takes to prevent the Truth from being reported to the people, if it doesnt favor their opinion?

Thanks for helping me prove my point

News of the meeting (pj's & Forensic lab) comes as the McCanns, from Rothley, came under attack from the lawyer of Robert Murat, a suspect in the case.
Francisco Pagarete (lawyer for local odd ball Murat) said Mr and Mrs McCann "deserve to be cursed" for leaving their children alone.
In an interview with the Portuguese newspaper 24 Horas, he said: "What they deserve is for somebody to curse them, to make them pay for having left three children unprotected.
"On top of it all, they have bank accounts which are stuffed full," he said.
Mr Pagarete said as the case drags on, Mr Murat, his mother and girlfriend are paying a financial price.
"[They] see their names daily dragged through the mud and they are on the verge of bankruptcy."

Do you think Murat is not paying lawyer fees & this has driven the lawyer to spew such vitriol about the McCanns? Is it not "curse" enought that they have lost their darling daughter through a mistake? The man is deranged ! Most unprofessional.

How we overthrew a Popularly elected official in 1951 and installed a murderous dictator who ruled for over 25 years.

Why do you think they want to kill us. Are we not doing the same things today? Are we not Right Now using taxpayer dollars repeating this mistake in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan? Didnt the Saudi Arabia courts just sentance a female Gang Rape Victim to 6 months in prison and 200 LASHES for being an adulturess. Shouldnt there citizens hate us?
