The Chinese invented this "technique" where they put an interogatee's head in a vice and set up a water drip 5-10 feet above their head so the drops hit the middle of their forehead...it's imaginatively called: Chinese Water Torcher...so how is this torcher, and waterboarding (euphemistically called "simulating drowning") is still debatable? as bad as waterboarding is, it's probably the tip of the iceberg...

Can he? The constitution does not address this question specifically and the issue has remained unanswered by the Supreme Court as the issue has never arisen. Some scholars say no. Others say yes. What do you think?

Here is a link to consider before you answer. I was shocked to see only two incidents where Black persons were accused of attacking a white or gay.The rest were whites attacking, harassing, menacing, even murdering Black people, Indians, Latinos, Middle Eastern, and the list goes on and on. The states are abbreviated. Just go down the list to see the hatecrimes in each of the states listed:

Here is a second link:

http://www.splcenter.org/intel/map/hate.jsp

I am very embarrassed and shocked, and I have witnessed hate first hand to several Black people while lazy police refused to intercede. They were required to but did nothing, so the problems escalated, there were lawsuits, several persons lost their jobs, and the cops wound up writing "FALSE POLICE REPORTS" to cover themselves. That's good policing, huh?

What about all you decent people? What are your thoughts on this?

Thanks for your wholesome answers.

I don’t think so. If we stopped catering to these non-English speakers (living in the U.S.), they will have to learn English! Why do agencies, like the Language Access Project, insist that government offices must supply translators for non-English speaking clients? The more we cater to these non-English speakers, the less they learn. In the long run, it will benefit everyone, including the non-English speakers, if we stopped babying them!

Here’s the article that prompted me to post this question:

A new study says language barriers are creating obstacles in benefits offices throughout the city.

The study released Wednesday by immigration advocates found that 26 percent of Human Resource Administration offices are not meeting legal requirements by providing translators for their clients.

The Media likes to remind everyoneof the "republican scwabbling" but not much is said about the Dems dirty campaigning.
"CONCORD, N.H. (AP) -- A top adviser to Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign said Wednesday that Democrats should give more thought to Sen. Barack Obama's admissions of illegal drug use before they pick a presidential candidate."

Can someone please give me a link to where I can find a current listing with the members. I need to know their party (I need to see how many third party reps are in office), but I don't really need thier names~ just the current balance. Thanks~

I read a great post by someone from the Clinton's camp website to describe why Obama is where he is right now and getting so much attention.

"Sen. Obama is very much a product of the media. They've turned his early speeches into headline news, covered his books as if he's some kind of profit, etc. They've wanted a horse race since the election process started but it hasn't happened. The only state that is too close to call is Iowa and it has always been too close to call since the beginning of the year. ere he is right now."

Pope Benedict XVI has launched a surprise attack on climate change prophets of doom, warning them that any solutions to global warming must be based on firm evidence and not on dubious ideology.

The leader of more than a billion Roman Catholics suggested that fears over man-made emissions melting the ice caps and causing a wave of unprecedented disasters were nothing more than scare-mongering.

I bid on a pair of concert tickets from ebay and won them. I paid double the face value of the ticket, plus shipping. My boyfriend informed me that this is illegal... is this true?
Also, when I got the tickets, it was not as the seller described it on ebay. It was a totally different row!
What actions should I take?

2007-12-12 11:03:43 · 13 answers · asked by Avery N 1 in Elections

With 2/3 majority, congress has the ability to pass whatever laws they want without threat of presidential veto, they are able to pass laws that affect how the president must do things on domestic issues and foreign ones too.

Does this mean that when a party countrols 2/3 of congress, the speaker of the house (leader the party in majority of congress) becomes more politically powerful than the president?
