Politics & Government - 14 December 2007

Hi I just got into the Navy DEP program to go active duty as a MA. I was wondering if I could switch from active duty to reserves before I ship. My ship date is 1-29-08. I've been thinking about it and would like to finish my education right now and not later. So would I keep my rating and ship date or would I have to reclass and get a different ship date. I just feel like I made a mistake going active at this time. Thank you

My sister got arrested last night.. which was legit and when they took her to jail, they made her strip naked and shower while guard watches her. Did she have to strip completely naked or is there any clause where you can ask that a female guard keep watch instead of a male or is there nothing that could have been done? She's really upset.

Here goes my story...

I saw an adv for a game on craigslist and decided to buy it. The order went through fine. Since the phone was priced ridiculously low, i decided to buy 30+ units. I sent the seller about $2500 and sure enough, he send me the games.

Then he sends me an email saying that he has about 100 units left and we decided on a price of $7500. When the package was dropped off, he send a bunch of old books. When I contacted him, he said it was a mistake and was supposed to ship the games. Meanwhile, he cashed the $7500 cashiers check.

Now, for the past two weeks, he's been playing around, cooking up stories... He seems to be afraid when I said I will prosecute him criminally....

Do I have any recourse? Where can I file a complaint? Thanks for any help!

As the emissaries, dignitaries, ambassadors and 'self-appointed representatives' of the concerned countries gathered in Indonesia, it only served the greater good of mankind that Gore would castigate America while peace and prosperity was sweeping throughout Darfur.

Who dares say the UN is worthless?

1) Lowering the value of the dollar is good.
2) Lower or get rid of minimum wage.

Okay, I can see an argument for either one or the other. But being used together? Yeah, it'll help businesses, but is it worth blasting the working class?

I was reading an editorial in my school newspapers, and the writer claimed that if we leave Iraq, Iran will invade Iraq, take over the oil, and then jack up the price to hurt the U.S. economy. Of course he didnt cite any expert sources to back up this prediction, so I was more than hesitant to belive this hunch.

Do you think this would be a likely reactio to our pull out from Iraq?

I have 4 children, 9,7,4,and 2.
My two little ones were very ill today, and so i wasn't able to take my eldest 2, both to and from school.
I had no one else to do it either,(husband leaves for work in another city at 7 in the morning!) we have only recently moved to this area,away from family and friends.
So the headteacher rings me up and tells me that it is illegal to NOT send the children into school, i should either get a taxi, or ask my husband to rearrange his job schedual!
I was so outraged at the schools lack of understanding!
And also so shocked that i was doing something illegal!
Is this nasty headteacher correct?????

I kill my wife and go to jail for man slaughter. I get out 12 years later and I find out she's still alive (changed her identity). The whole time she was leeching out of my rich mother dying mother,and poisoned out 3 children for the insurance money. Knowing all of this, I still have no proof against her and this leads me to shoot her dead at her job in front of everyone. The police ID her as my wife that I supposedly killed. Can I be charged with murder?

When you purchase property in ontario it seems that your local government tells you what you can or cannot do with it.In my neck of the woods because it is a tourist area we are under regulations on what trees we can cut how many cars we have in the back 40 even when you have to tresspass to see them a person cannot even have a hobby if his or her nieghbours dont like it .It has gotten so bad that you cannot even have your choice of pet out in the country where your nearest nieghbour is 2 miles away. Even a camelion is illegal no exotic pets. Science fiction is coming true BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING.

As far I I have heard only Cocaine Dealers sell Cocaine and nobody gives it away for free. The people he was associating with where probably selling to children in 6th grade. Is this the kind of person we want for PRESIDENT? Shouldn't he be doing YouTube Vidios instead?
