is it okay if I have had 12 beers tonight? I am 6 feet tall and weigh about 240lb. When I write this I feel like a giant but I am actually pretty and you wouldn't know I weight 240lbs. Anyways, can I drink the 12 pack tonight and still do fine on the blood draw drug test tomorrow? I have a very high tolerance and alcohol is not a crime so I am wondering here......I am not suppposed to eat or drink after 9p.m tonight so let me know your thoughts......I am just relaxing and watching football so by tomorrow morning I should be fine. What do you all think?

Isn't it time for Labour to just ditch the idea altogether?

The head of MI5 has said he will not support the detention of terror suspects beyond 28 days, striking a fresh blow against Gordon Brown's anti-terror plans.

Jonathan Evans told MPs at a private meeting that he was not willing to back the Government's proposal to extend to 42 days the period for which suspected terrorists may be detained without charge.

The Prime Minister is already under pressure on the issue with growing opposition among MPs threatening him with a Commons defeat.

A report by the Home Affairs select committee is expected to cite strong opposition to the plans from senior figures including Sir Ken MacDonald, the Director of Public Prosecutions, and Lord Goldsmith, the former attorney general.

I was pulled over a couple weeks ago in Missouri for going 98 in a 70 mph zone. My license is intermediate and it was 5:09 A.M in the morning. I know I will be receiving community service hours and a driving class, but could I also receive a bigger punishment? I.E jail for two days, or license suspended for a year? Also Curfew in Missouri is 1:00 A.m. to 5:00 A.M. in the morning. And the only offense listed on my ticket was exceeding posted speed limit.

I've just gotten into politics and I tend to lean in more towards Democratic, but I still hate abortion.
But this year are we going to get another Republican president or is it hard to say?

I just joined the navy as an air traffic controller, what do you guys think the chances are that I will be stationed in iraq?

I also have a question about being deployed. How is that life?? Is it true that your 3 weeks out to sea and than about 1 week in port?? Than you only have to work one day while in port and the rest of the times you can do whatever you want??

as Nazi Dictators.

Is everyone a drama queens or something? It feels like when people join a party, they become more ignorant. Just because you are part of a party doesn't mean members of it don't do very stupid things. And it doesn't mean everyone of the opposing parties are fire breathing Nazi Commandos who want to murder your babies.

Not all Republicans want to force you to go to Christian Church and go to War and not all liberals want gays to get married and drugs to be legalized. The most radical part of each party doesn't represent the entirety of it.

A man who is running for Mayor locally has begun a telemarketing campaign where he is calling every single local number he can get his hands on and leaving his "vote for me!" voice mails to everyone.

I have called back the number that comes up on my caller ID and it goes straight to a voice mail. I have left numerous messages on there telling them to take my number off their list, that it is a private number, it is on the National Do Not Call List, and that it is a cell phone which means I am the one paying for their wasting of my minutes to check and erase my voice mails.

They have been calling for weeks, several times a day leaving these messages, and will not stop even after MANY requests to do so.

(If this helps, it is the "Rick Reed For Mayor" campaign in Fort Pierce, FL.)

I am looking for similarites and differences between the two systems - I want to make sure my analysis is complete.

I have these already.

Parliamentary:
Prime Minister is not directly elected
No division of executive and legistlative powers
Seperate Head of state and head of government
Executive power (PM) is accountable to the legislature
Stronger Party Discipline

Presidential:
President is directly elected by the people
Division of legislative and executive powers.
Is both head of state and government
Is not accountable to the legislature.
Weaker party discipline (relative to parliamentary)

Please, if you have any useful input, addddd.

A general estimate is that 13 million Native Americans were exterminated by the expansionist white Americans. Some figures put it at close to 60 million, when you add in diseases like VD, chicken pox, measels. Has the white population ever admitted to the crime? Have they ever apologised? Have they ever placed whites on trial for it? Cheers.

For other uses, see Sicko (disambiguation).

Sicko (or SiCKO) is a 2007 movie by American filmmaker Michael Moore that investigates the American health care system, focusing on its for-profit health insurance and pharmaceutical industry. The film compares the non-universal and for-profit U.S. system with the universal and non-profit systems of Canada, the United Kingdom, France and Cuba.

Sicko opened to positive reviews, but also generated criticism and controversy. Some policy specialists have praised the film while others have criticised the film for its positive portrayal of the publicly funded health systems of Canada, the United Kingdom and Cuba, and for its negative portrayal of the health care system in the United States.

Sicko debuted in the U.S. on June 22, 2007, earning $4.6 million in 441 theatres and achieving the second highest opening weekend for a documentary, after Fahrenheit 9/11.[1] A pirated copy of the film was leaked onto the Internet just prior to its release.

What did you think? I don't agree with Michael Moore on most issues but ........ damn...... this movie was screwed up. I work in healthcare (radiology) and it was right on the money. I can't argue with any of it.
