Especially the "experts" they invite to newshows to talk about crap like Britney Spears, etc?

Read about this crackpot who thought sexual orientation was a learned behavior. He told the parents of a boy with a botched circumsion to raise him as a girl. What a disaster that was.

The idea is that when someone is stupid enough to get a DUI, that person would then be force to put a special-colored license plate on his car that would signal him as a DUI offender. The purpose of this idea is to not only serve as a reminder punishment, but to also alert the authorities, as well as other drivers on the road of a potiential risk.

This is something that has already been done in Ohio and it might come to effect in other states as well, such as California and Florida.

This is also my assigned topic for my debate class. I am required to argue in favor of this policy. Please give me an argument against this idea and I will try my best to defend it. As for how I feel personally, so far I personally agree with this idea also.

Bill, Hillary and the Lock box

When Bill and Hillary first got married, Bill said, "I am putting a box under the bed. You must promise never to look in it." In all their 25 years of marriage, Hillary never looked.

However, on the afternoon of their 25th anniversary, curiosity got the best of her and she lifted the lid and peeked inside. In the box were three empty beer cans and $81,874.25 in cash. She closed the box and put it back under the bed. Now that she knew what was in the box, she was curious as to why.

That evening they were out for a special dinner. After dinner, Hillary could no longer contain her curiosity and she confessed, saying, "I am so sorry. For all these years I kept my promise and never looked into the box under our bed. However, today the temptation was too much and I gave in. But now I need to know, why do you keep the cans in the box?"

Bill thought for a while and said, "I guess after all these years you deserve to know the truth. Whenever I was unfaithfu

I asked earlier about regs for females with longer hair. I was advised to look at a few sites on sock buns for quickly putting up long hair; however, I don't see a single person with hair as long as mine -- several inches past my hips -- is this too long, or have people gotten through everything -- especially PT and showers -- with hair that long.

The Goevernment and the rich companies that are paying the police to protect the illegals from the anti illegal protesters that don't want to see this country destroyed by the invasion of law breaking illegals from Mexico.

This could lead to a revolution or civil war if our police/government does nothing.

1) should we scream at our government the way we are screaming at the illegals?
2) Should NATO enforce our laws when this gets out of hand because our US police is a joke when it comes to enforcing laws?
3) Shoud we do nothing and let this country go down and end up like Mexico?

If guns need to be regulated, then why not regulate them as tools? Say, certification like with a forklift where you have to pass a certain set of qualifications before you can own one.

As a gun owner, I wouldn't mind doing that. It might be kinda cool actually.

Say a person is either a member or a visitor to a church and publicly addresses an error in a sermon or points out a member who is in sin or any other VALID point. Could a 'pastor' legally have security/ushers physically remove a person from the premises?
note: In this situation, the person speaking out isn't yelling, screaming or in any other way acting in a threatening manner. They simply put the issue in the open and or respond to a rebuttal.

...been president rather than Bush?

Years and billions spent in green car engineering and the envt would have gone a long way. When i say 200 it could be 300MPG (using unheard 90 percent efficient solar panels on the roof, recharging when parked at the mall in the sun).

Instead we are wasting billions in Irak and on top of this we cannot really say that we found a solution for oil, we still feel not secure

I hope Al gore runs for prez and saves our energy crisis
Your reactions please...

Is it due to the greedy speculators desired 1/2 point and are upset that they only received 1/4 point?

"some investors were hoping for a half-point cut in the Fed's last meeting this year, and their disappointment took the market sharply lower."

And note, I'm not asking if we have any already. I'm asking if they should be there.

Should we make it harder for criminals, the mentally insane, and children to get guns or should we have a wild west mentality where any person can buy an automatic assault rifle, grenade, rocket launcher, land mine, or machine gun?
