I know it may seem odd to ask but I was wondering:
1. Does the U.S. still draft people?
2. If so what age is it when they usually draft them?
3. If a relative dies how long does it take for the family to know they are dead?
4. If a person is at an age for drafiting do they have to go?
5. Even if a person is at an age for drafting is there a way not to (get drafted)?
6. If you have a friend that won't be the way he was anymore becuase he thinks his relative is dead because he hasn't heard from them in a while and worries about being drafted himself what should you do?

What will happen to the American political system, with the current Exec. Powers passed by the President, if we have a major crisis will there be an election? I do not know, that is why I am asking! If it is soon to be illegal to speak out against our government with HR1955, What good is Lou Dobbs finally telling us the truth going to do or (cause)?

THE QUESTION IS ORGINALLY ASKED WAS:


Car number 1 parks on a local street, aginst the curb. Car number 2 parks in front car number 1 aginst the curb. Car number 2 hits car number 1.

As it turns out, car number 1 was illegally parked 3 feet away from the curb. Although, car 2 was in fact the car who caused the crash while having full awarness of where car 1 was.

Which car deserves the punishment?

everyone agreed that it was car 2's fault
NOW, MY QUESTION IS:


Car 1 got a violation in the accident report. Will insurance severly penalize Car 1 for illegal parking, or will they still recognize that Car 2 was the car who overall caused the problem by crashing.

A prison is no place for a child no matter what crime they've committed. In America some states not only put children/teenagers in prison but they use the death punishment on them as well. I think that is crazy. Yes these minors have done horrendous crimes but do not put them in an environment where they will be raped, and victimized. We need to put these children in specialized penitentiaries for minors who have committed heinous crimes. We (taxpayers) spend on average $25,000 a year to maintain a minimum security prisoner, if we put these children in an environment that will require them to steal, murder, prostitute themselves, or simply victimize others we only lengthen that 10 year conviction to a 25 year one bringing more money out of our pockets. So even if you didn't care about minors rights, you can at least think about where your money is going, and how effective its use has been. So from an ethical point of view what would make a jury send a teenager to an environment like that? Do you agree or disagree with the juries decision? Is it right to do this to these children/teenagers?

I was hurt at work on 11/21 and went to their Dr, I was told to go back to the Dr on 11/26 for reevaluation . When I went back, another Dr told me I needed to get an MRI and see an ortho surgeon for my knee. I was on percocets for pain and told her I didn't feel comfortable working on the pain medicine, or not taking it and being in extreme pain. She told me I would have until 12/3 off to get the appointments done. I am still off work because I just had my MRI yesterday and see the ortho surgeon on 12/6. My work called me and said the paperwork they were given from the Dr said I should have been back to work on 11/27, the day after the reevaluation apt. I was upset and told them I would go see my own Dr to get a note for being out. I live in MI and am wondering what I should do. I have contacted lawyers. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Now that the debate over illegal immigration is heating up again, I believe it’s time for someone to say what others may be afraid to for fear of being labeled racist.

I am sick and tired of being made to feel guilty because I am of white European heritage. We have just as much of an obligation to preserve our heritage for our children as does any illegal immigrant.

It’s time that we let potential immigrants know that we speak English here and America has laws that everyone must abide by. We should not have to bend over backward to adapt to another culture; they need to adapt to ours. If these issues are impossible for you to deal with, then by all means return to your homeland.

Americans also need to wake up to the real cost of illegal immigration. Here are some facts from the Government Accountability Office as well as Census Bureau data: In 2005, the G.A.O. looked at 55,000 illegals with criminal records and found they had been arrested an average of eight times. Forty-five percent were for immigration and drug charges while 12 percent were for violent crimes. Illegals represent 3 percent of the U.S. population while they make up 4.5 percent of the U.S. prison population. This goes to show that we have no idea who is coming across our borders when immigration is not controlled.

The Census Bureau in 2002 found that households of illegal immigrants paid $16 billion in taxes yet imposed more than $26.3 billion in costs to the federal government. That’s a deficit of almost $10.4 billion. Guess who foots the bill?

They drain our economy by sending millions to their homeland. They will not sign up for military service, either. They are here to take advantage of our system and that’s all.

More punishment needed
