Politics & Government - 13 December 2007

Liberals are invited to answer as well, because there is room for everyone in my philosophy, but this is aoimed at conservatives at this time. what would your opinion of a Thompson/Huckabee ticket be, in terms of viability? I see good ideas from each, Thompson has national pull, and both men give straight answers without being wishy washy like liberal giuliani. i like ron paul but i think he is too much in attack mode. I respect his views and applaud him for sticking to his guns, unlike any of the democratic candidates.

no vile responses, please. looking for INTELLEGENT responses from all.

Everybone in my body tells me that those of us who oppose ths conspiracy are fighting a losing battle and that inevitably we will lose this battle.

There is just too much big money and power in favor of it, and all we have on our side is the fact that we want the right thing done. Also, consider this, that the longer we are at an impasse and that tough new laws are not passed and enforced, every minute that goes by means its gonna be that much harder to solve the problem in a way that favors american citizens and workers.

History has proven that the forces of evil use a strategy often that I call incrementalism, where they dont come right out and hit you over the head with an idea and overwhelm you but rather slowing introduce their scheme in bits and pieces in such a way that over time at some point you realize that you are willing to accept things at some point that you would never have ever dream of acquiescing to. Ever hear the story of how you can boil a frog live?

There are certian laws, like a law mandating people to wear their seatbelts or give big brother a weeks salary,that are completely contrary to the ideas the founding fathers had in ralation to individual freedoms and liberties. The list goes on, big brother finding slick ways to take peoples guns etc..Do people in law enforment not have a conscience when it comes to robbing people of individual liberties under the guise of "public safety"...

I find this quote most interesting. It is from a Hessian Prisoner of War.

28 December 1776 – This morning we visited General Lord Stirling, who conducted himself in a very friendly manner toward us. He received us with these words, ‘Your General von Heister treated me like a brother when I was a prisoner, and so gentlemen, you shall be treated by me in the same manner…Lord Stirling…asked if it would be our pleasure to accompany him to see General Washington...He kept four of our officers for the noon meal and the rest of us ate with Lord Stirling.
–Lt. Piel (Hessian)

Okay, this is the story. I'm 16, I dropped out of school. I turned 16 Dec 8th. My parents gave me permission to move out of the house, which I did. My parents live in Connecticut, while I'm In Pennsylvania. I live with my boyfriend and his mother. The question is, legal documents. I already have a checking account, but things like registering a car, and getting my permit. I got my parents to sign at a notary permission for me to get my permit. The notary seal says that its Connecticut though, will the Dmv still accept that? I've looked through their website and didn't find any answers. Also they might require me proof of residence, and they said that you can't use bills that aren't utilities. No cell phone or anything like that. Is there anything else I could use that they might accept? I just don't want to go there and get turned down, wasting my time, and having my parents give guardian to my boyfriend, or boyfriend's mother is not an option, I don't trust them being my guardians. This would also apply to all documents I have to sign in the future. I know there is emancipation. Although I would have to prove I have a job which I don't have yet, although I'm working on it. I know the steps to be emancipated although I don't know how long you must hold a job and live on your own for the judge to grant you permission

I cannot find a copy of Korean bar secrets 2. It was also once known as Keys to the kingdom. The book is written by Paul Allen Keys. I am putting this in the military forum because the book is about Osan AB and the town outside the gate, Songtan. Can anyone help me find a copy of this book or does anyone have a copy they would like to sell?

If I'm down to the jury selection process, and interviewing is about to begin, how can I SUBTLY make myself as unappealing as possible to both counsels so I get "peremptory dismissal?'

No B.S. answers that'll get you perjured like "I hate all black people and homos" or "I can tell if people are guilty just by looking at them."

I doubt those work if done that brazenly.

Police are entrusted with the duty of investigation and collecting evidence to prove the guilt of the accused in a court of law and in accordance with law. For this purpose, they are entrusted with enormous powers . Too often, this power is abused and misused and torture is inflicted on any suspected person. Police often believe that this is necessary to find out the truth but then even an innocent will "confess to his crime" unable to bear the pain of third degree methods...
HOW CAN VIOLENCE BY LAW-ENFORCING AGENCIES BE JUSTIFIED ? Can the police take law into their own hands and for their own purposes ? Does Law permit this ?
What then is the solution ?

My husband and I bought a $2900.00 western union to a third party name Juan Peredes from Worldpay. Last night, I've been expecting response about the arrival of our shipment. So far, I was curious about Worldpay, and did my research. Finally, I acknowledged there were stories that related alike as ours in scam.com and we were also those victims. Now, that the holidays are here, we were expecting for a 1995 Nissan 300zx to arrive to our doorstep, instread we were foolishly tricked by scammers. Yet, money is money and we all worked hard for it. We don't deserved to be decieved of this kind of deception. I just wished we knew this earlier. And the crook behind this, should repay this kind of crime in jail. Please, I want to notify to all victims, who are in the same situation, to help elimate this kind of scam.

Sent e-mail from personal acct. to coworker, while I wasn't on company premises but coworker was. Subject of e-mail was about third person, another coworker. Incriminating e-mail originated from public computer, sent from private acct. to a company acct. Message received by coworker through company account, on company computer. Content of message was moderately disparaging of third person. 2 months passes, coworker who received e-mail dismissed for unrelated issue, computer is scanned, e-mail is found. Third person (subject of e-mail) is daughter of owner of company. I am dismissed for making disparaging comments regarding owner's daughter. Is dismissal against Michigan law or Federal law?

Al- Qaeda may be a serious threat if your a wondering American somewhere in Afghanistan. But as a person living in lets say Los Angeles or Michigan. The biggest threat may be our government. They are raising taxes and cutting jobs. They are eliminating basic rights guaranteed by the constitution. Charging enormous sums of money to get a higher education. Plus there institutionalized racist policies make everyone a target (yes even whites) for crime. So who is really a bigger threat to the Common Man: Al qaeda or Government (not just US but governments in general)
