Under all the immense pressure he is under not to do it or to at least hold a referendum why is he going ahead with it when it could potentially ruin his political career?

What other forces or motives are pushing him into this corner?

Has this affected your vote? This has swung it for me and I will NEVER be voting for him, although I would have.

to a Lower Value than the Pesos? If not how do you explain the outright disregard for our Economic situation? It seems to me Neither side is doing anything, or has done anything in the past 24 years to prevent what is happening Now.

My ex-boyfriend is willing to paying $800 and he will not tell me how much he makes. We are trying to keep it out of the courts. I think he makes about $80k per year. Is this a fair amount?

It may be the best National system yet. French women live four years longer than U.S. women, on average. French men live two years longer. Infant mortality is a whopping 43 % less than it is in the U.S.

The French take a great interest in postpartum health of new mothers. They are taught exercises and watched carefully to make sure their bodies remain firm and healthy. Yet the French spend a little less than $3,500 per person on Health Care while the U.S., even with no National Insurance, spends around $6,000 per person.

The French pay their own doctor and hospital bills and are reimbursed by the state. They are encouraged to carry "Gap" insurance, in case the state payment does not cover all of the costs. While the waiting time for non-emergency surgeries may be greater than in the U.S., the French system is working, doesn't have the fifty million desperate uninsured as in the U.S., and gives each baby born in France a chance for a healthy life. Should we copy the French?

It cost the GOP and they are going to do the same thing.... Ah Earth to the DNC this is going to be tight durning this election you do have slim majority in Congress and the White House is still a big unknown right now.

Is it really smart to push the war funding bills and lose control of Congress and give it to the GOP again?

I'm a promotional model and I work as an independent contractor for a variety of different marketing companies/ modeling agencies. Prior to this, I've never had any issues with not receiving payment that was due. However, I worked a tradeshow for a privately owned, out fo state modeling agency. Everything seemed legit but then I didn't receive the check when I was told that I would. I had to keep contacting the owner to ask where it was and she has continued to make excuses. I just found out that another promotional model had to sue her for money that was owed. So now that it's apparent that I might also have to sue her for what she owes me, how do I go about doing this? I know how small claims court works but since I live in Michigan and she is in Indiana, what are my options?

i have been living in my place of residence for a bit over 14 years. i just renewed my lease yesterday. i was thinking about having someone to move in with me but, not to report it. meaning the rent will stay the same and we would cut my current rent in half along with the phone bill only....

when i recert. she looked me dead in my eyes and said it is against the rules to have someone stay with me with out reporting it. it was like she could read my mind lol.

well, i know for a fact that other residents have their family members living with them but, they get away with it.

what do you think?

In other words, when a municipality or locality has a history of police corruption, won't the citizens of the community find it hard to believe just about ANYTHING law enforcement in that community says after a while? Hence, prejudicing a jury to free a real criminal due to "doubt" weather reasonable or unreasonable.

How heavily does corruption weigh on the scales of true justice?

I thought extraterritoriality for sex crimes only applied when the victims were kids. Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating that rape is OK for illusionists or anything like that-just curious as to how the US can charge him for something that happened in the Bahamas.

I saw a news story where the EU plans to boycott climate talks until the U.S. makes cuts in energy consumption. Who the hell cares first of all? More importanty, is this what things are coming to... Are we going to allow the EU or UN or anyone to dictate to us what our energy consumption should be.

You people need to realize that industry, our economy, and any type of progress in this country will be impacted negatively by ANY policy which puts limits on energy consumption. Also, countries that we compete with on the global market, like China will never agree to do the same. These people are not anti-pollution - effectively, they are anti-progress and anti-United States.

Your Thoughts???
