Who do you think poses the biggest Submarine threat to the US, or has the best Submarines outside the US? Why do you think this? I'm curious of what people know about Submarines. Since I have a good idea, well the answer, I'll put this up to a vote when done, I don't want to give the impression some-one may be too correct!

I realize that buying hemp products and selling hemp products is legal within certain boundries in the US. But the growing of hemp and the manufacturing of hemp products is illegal. Industrial hemp plants do not contain a high enough amount of THC to produce any intoxicating effects so it is not like legalizing marijuana as a drug.

The hemp industry brings millions of dollars a year into other countries that are not fearful of this drug. It could do the same for us! Hemp is one of the most useful plants on the planet. It can be used to make clothes which are more durable than cotton and breathes better than cotton. Hemp seed oil can be used in cooking and has far less fat content than any other cooking oil. Hemp can be used to make shampoos and soaps and other cleaners that are not harmful to our enviroment. Hemp can be made into paper, which in turn, solves our forestry problems. Hemp oil can be used to produce plastics instead of using potroleum based products. Hemp fibers can be used to strengthen cement and other manufacturing applications. Hemp can be used to make interior panels for cars. Hemp seeds can be ground into flour and used for baking and contains beneficial omega fatty acids, amino acids, and minerals. Hemp seeds can be used to produce non dairy "milk" similar to soy. Biofuels such as biodiesel and alcohol fuel can be made from the oils in hemp seeds and stalks and hemp produces more energy per acre per year than corn, sugar, flax, or any other crop currently grown for ethanol or biodiesel.

If there were an event such as a several mass shootings or terrorist type attack involving guns would you let the government convince you to give up your right to bear arms to better society ?

I am asking because they are currently preparing new laws to be proposed and I wonder how people will react ...

Even though many feel that drug testing is an invasion of privacy as long as we are subject to drug testing and it is allowed by law shouldn't the president, since it is the biggest most important job in America submit to a hair strand test? Is the president better than the rest of us?

Well, in the humane category we can place Buddhism, Unitarianism, and maybe some varieties of Judaism, Jainism and Hinduism.
Then you have the inhumane religions of war: Christianity and Islam.

I don't see that written anywhere in the books themselves, which means that some external person just made it up at some point. I don't think the authors of all those different books were making that claim. I think they were just transcribing some stories passed around orally that were used to entertain ... much like the Odyssey. Or they were writing down rumours. But there's nothing about it that human beings of that era couldn't invent. Now if the stories had talked about bacteria, the planet Neptune or some other things that nobody could know about until centuries later, THEN you'd have at least some kind of argument.

As it stands, i have currently won judgment against an evil roofing contractor company (via default judgment). On my case i sued the corporate entity and its owner.

At present the owner is trying to have his name removed from the case because he says he was not directly involved with the dealings with me (only the company was)--i dealt with the owner face-to-face and handed him cash, etc. However, there was a Bank Draft that i paid to the owner in hand but sadly it was not endorsed to the owner's name himself.

I strongly believe the owner wants his name off the judgment because once he does remove himself he will file the company for bankruptcy and i will not be able to collect on the money he stole.

Can someone tell me is there ANYTHING i can do to keep this owner's name on the judgment or procedures i can follow if he were successful in removing his name and does indeed go bankrupt?


Thanks

I think so. He is a great statesman, and is correct on Iraq, Iran, and Darfur. He has PLANS too! Plus, he's honest. He always admits his past mistakes like his plagarism and is upfront and candid about it. And, that is about his only mistake, and for a politican - that's not bad. IMO.
