A policeman pulled me over for spinning my car half way around in a deserted parking lot at the place I work. He just gave me a warning. It had just snowed and I was leaving work at 11pm. I was the only person in a HUGE empty parking lot.

Alot of people have told me it is some probation, or restitution. What is the actual punishment for an 18 year old adult for a first time offense of shoplifting?

My boyfriend is on housearrest and has been paying his fees through the mail with money orders. But the person he reports to has been sending someone else to his house to collect the money personaly and they have been telling him that they want cash payments instead. He said no because the county gave him no papers saying that payments should be made in cash. This person still insists on cash payments but has yet to bring papers from our county saying that the payments should be cash. They still take the money orders but they have tried to get him to leave the money orders blank instead of writing them out the county. This person says the reason the payments should be made in cash is because they can write thier own recipets. I think that this person is full of it. They are too insistant on cash for my liking and whats to stop them from pocketing the money and turning around saying that it was never paid? Is this the right kind of behavior for a worker of the county?

My spine is a little out of alignment but I still feel I can do it. I'm in good shape and weigh what i should weigh. What I'm worried about is if they check my back would it disqualify me.

WASHINGTON - The groundbreaking deal in Congress to raise mile-per-gallon standards will compel the auto industry to churn out more fuel-efficient vehicles on a faster timeline than the companies wanted, though with flexibility to get the job done.

I have to say - and I say this as a socialist - that Mike Huckabee seems like a nice guy you could talk to and have a civil discussion with.

But while I disagree with Ron Paul on a lot of issues, I have to admire his courage, his diagnosis of what's wrong with America's foreign policy, and his desire to put the Constitution first.

But after those two people, the Republican field is basically dumb, dumber, scary dumb, and "DAYAM THAT'S DUMB"!

are US automakers so stupid as to ignore the price of gas?... are the salaries of these CEOs so high that they can afford to simply ignore gas prices and produce cars/trucks nobody wants?

The Royal Family are a family of immigrants.

Her Majesty, the Queen is the offspring of immigrants. Her paternal grandmother, was German by birth with a German father and a half German mother. She is descended from Queen Victoria, who married a German. And the Queen herself married a Greek. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancestry_of_Elizabeth_II_of_the_United_Kingdom#Ancestry_chart

Princess Diana’s maternal grandmother was American. Making Lady Diana, only 75% British.

If I have worked it out correctly, Her Majesty is 31.25% German and 6.25% Dutch which makes her 37.5% ‘foreign.’ Her husband is only 6.25 % British (a Great-great grandmother of Prince Philip was Queen Victoria).

And that is only going back a few generations. So based on that, are the Royal Family British? And if they are not, should we send them back, and if so, where? Or should we just expel some of them based on parentage?

Williams-Sonoma just sent my order to the wrong address. When I called them to let them know and hopefully obtain the items in my order they left me on the phone for over an hour and a half and then they told me after that if I want to obtain the order I placed a week ago I will have to call stores around the country to obtain the items myself! So much for customer service!

The customer service manager came on the phone with a condescending attitude that she really didn't give a *** about the fact that they didn't deliver. She was mostly bent on making sure that I knew she was better than me (by the way I rather doubt on her salary she could clean my house) and my order was the least of her concerns. So all I can say is this attitude comes from the top. They have nothing but contempt for their customers. I'm just letting people know that they are NOT CUSTOMER friendly even though with the prices they charge they should at least be better than KMART they are not!!!!!!!!! They have the audacity to sue Target and Kohls for copyright infringement, at least they deliver!!! Maybe if they focused more on delivering what they sold, sales might be better !!!!!! I'm, sorry but I felt like I was treated rather badly and I want it out there!

With all this, how do they stay open? Their products are sold other places and cheaper and with such poor customer service they must have morons for customers! Granted, I was one until today!

Btw, if you dont know what plea is, its where you agree to either say you did the crime, avioding court, and you get a couple years off (up to) or you tstify against someone else. Usually they did the crime with you.

All the help is appreciated.

How could someone possibly call themself a Christian when they vote for and have the moral values of a Liberal Democrat, such as being pro-choice or promoting gay marriage. I just don't understand. The Bible clearly speaks against it.

If someone were to be raped, they'd hold the rapist accountable for their actions.

What if the victim of rape was behind bars? Would your opinion differ?

It seems the first thing would be dictators go after is the press more and more complaining first that the press is tilted against them and then they eventually shut down the press and have one state news agency that tells the news "fairly" without stepping on the toes of the government?

Why is it also that would be tyrants like Chavez in Venezuela, Hitler of days gone by, and even Russia's Putin shut down any dissenters by accusing them of being traitors conspiring with some boogey man enemy that (the USA ) that he claims has it out for Russia. In other words Putin has any dissenters arrested because if they oppose him, its only because they are spies of the USA.

All the ones with the propensity to be tyrants or who prefer to be led by a tyrant seem to follow the same script over and over again.

What can we here in the USA learn from all this?

I'm very serious about joining the Navy. But since I'm completing my last semester in college (Spring '08), I won't be able to ship out until afterwards. I've heard about the Delayed Entry program. How does that work? Are there any type of weekend drills until I ship out??
