we really like each other he is coming for 3 months if we fall in love and decide to marry can he stay in the USA or would he have to leave and file? We both are confused. He is also coming in the winter time and I really would love for him to stay until summer to really see the beauty of my home town. We want to know if we don't marry can he extend his stay by maybe going to canada and back and get another 3 months. We both are older and want to make sure that we are right for each other and would like his visit extended and if we do fall in love and marry would he have to go back to the uk or can he just stay.

I live in TX... a 91 yr old man went to go pay a utility bill a week ago n never went back home. Obviously he lost his way home...He did have dementia.... here's the f*d up thing... the police dept couldn't put out a "silver alert"<--like the amber alert... right away since he a DR. never authorized he had dementia..
They finally decided to put the "silver alert"out yesterday... after 5 days...yes 5 days...
They found him this morning...he passed away...
What are your thoughts on this stupid "silver alert"...I would think at a certain age anyone should qualify for the alert...
It bugs me because my grandpa passed away from alzheimers...
What are your thoughts on this sad event?

Imagine how different the outcomes might be if every citizen could hear ALL the negotiations between our politicians (locally and internationally--even amongst nation's leaders). Knowing that under the watchful eye of the camera--we would know the truth! What would happen? Why not do this? Our government puts cameras on street corners to catch citizens running red lights, crossing toll booths. Why can't we be given the same courtesy, and make sure our politicians our doing what they are supposed to be doing.

I know there are people out there who do respect Police Officers, then there's those who don't. It pisses me off, I mean, its bad enough that their job is dangerous, but they have to deal with bad a** people who always complain. I mean, just put yourself in their shoes, I know I CAN"T last even ten minutes doing their job. I know there are bad cops, BUT, there are a heck lot of good ones. If any law enforcement officer read this post, God bless you, and thank you.

Even poor people have a gun in their house for home protection. I read he had a machete, and you know what they say about bringing a knife to a gun fight. If he had a gun, would he be alive today? I suspect that if he had fired a gun, it would have scared off the intruders. Why didn't he lock himself in his room and called the police?

I'm not saying it's his fault he was killed, but people get killed in robberies every day, and people need to take action to prevent it from happening to them.

Asking questions like "do we really have a right to nuclear weapons over Iran?"

This can't be a serious question! Of course it's in our best interest to have the best and greatest military in the world. Why in the world would a person want to even the odds for our enemies?

So...

I just got caught with Salvia Divinorium. It is legal, but i got caught with it at school. It was in a small baggy, but that was how i bought it.

I got suspended to the superintendent, and i want your ideas on what you think is going to happen.

I didnt know i had it on me. I was looking through the stuff in my pockets, and found the bag of it. A stuudent saw it, and turned me in. I got checked by the principal, and now i have to go to the superintendent. He will decide if I get expelled or let back in school.

Any predicitons on what is going to happen next? Any suggestions on how to get let back in school? I honestly had no intentions of using it, or selling it, and I can't afford to be expelled.

I'm in high school, 9th grade.

Thanks!

with abortion, why should it be rare??? Additionally, if a pre-born baby is not a human life, why do so many states charge double murder against someone who takes the life of a pregnant woman and not against the mother and/or doctor who performs late term or partial birth abortions (especially)?
You cannot have it both ways.

I'm wondering if I can get in the military. I've talked to a recruiter and I am supposed to be getting ready for testing for the ASVAB. He told me that I could not get in there if I have been on medication or have been diagnosed with ADHD in the past 2-4 years. I was diagnosed with ADD about 5 years ago and I haven't been on medication since then .. and I'm a little confused, because I get different information from different people

the us feels it should be the only country allowed nuclear weaponds,
and that it only attacks those countries smaller than us
or that when they come face to face with a larger opponent they back puss out and call it truth like with russia
that the US feels they are the best country in thw world
that we are oil crazy
and that all countries we have gotten in major wars with have oil, and or are communists



why the US so damn greedy
in few years we guna end up like in George Orwell's novel 1984
infact some of the stuff that orwell wrote wasnt even happening at the time, but some is

peace and love and fight the power

I am a conservative but I am 100% against hireing mercanaries to fight a war. Black water has to go. If we cant win the war then we should just go home and let those monsters eat each other.

...equal?

For example: If a 17 year old boy and a 15 year old girl both agree to engage in sex. It is the boy who has committed the alledge crime, and the girl who is the victim. Even though both the boy and the girl are both minors and they both agreed to the sex.

Why is the man always at fault? When should the woman be held accountable for her actions?
