ok, i know a lot of questions like this have been asked, but i haven't found anything that explains what i'm asking. what i want to know is, how much control do my parents have over me, now that i'm no longer a minor, even if i do live at their house? and before i get all those moocher comments, let me explain something: i only still live with my parents because they are making it incredibly difficult for me to leave. they wouldn't let me learn to drive, or get a job, so i couldn't start till either till my birthday. when i tried to get my permit, they refused to give me my birth certificate, they started charging rent as soon as i got a job, and as i make more, they change the rent so that they get over half my money, and i still have to buy my own food, clothes, etc. now they're saying i cant go out at certain times of the day. i'm working 2 jobs, one full time (830am to 5pm), one part time(overnight about 4 times a week) and i'm a full time college student. can they do that?

Have you taken the time to write your representatives, senators, and legislators to draft up a bill that protects our rights as citizens for decades to come and to draft up a bill banning any and all mandatory government RF chipping programs? I have. I also like to include the fact that I will die before I ever get chipped.

Can the people you are paying to still sue you for full payment?
We have been paying off a hospital bill at 125.00 a month and they are threatening to sue. Can they legally sue us? We live in Arkansas.

Was this dog his own personal pet that he was training to be a service dog? Do you have to be certified to train a dog to be a service dog? Are there any regulations or standards on training a service dog?

Is it possible for the fulton county state court in Atlanta, GA to be backed up almost a year and a half to 2 years. I heard that somewhere. I am expecting a court date but it looks like I'll have to contact them regarding this situation.

The U.S. has lost standing in various sectors of the international community as a result of some unpopular actions taken and policies advanced (or broken) by the Bush administration. You may want to debate that, but that's not really the focus of my question. If you believe that the U.S. should try to improve it's international relations & that this is important, I am asking which of these 3 candidates do you believe would do the best job.

I'm not looking for the response "None of them". I am not looking for offerings of another candidate that you like better than any of these three. I am asking for you to merely accept this hypothetical assumption at the moment for the sake of discussion, and consider ONLY these three candidates. Who in your opinion between these 3 would do the best for the U.S. in international relations...and why? And why would the other two not do as well?

If you live outside the U.S., your opinion is welcome here too even though you may not be a voter.

I have a question. If someone takes your art and uses it to enter a contest...Is that copyright infringement? They gave credit though...But it was still without my permission. I am still upset that people are using my art to make a profit.

They seem so ignorant and actually believe they single handedly won WW1 & WW2. When in actuality they came in very, very late, after massive casualties on all sides. They always seem to belittle the contribution of others or the fact they arrived so late. They often forget the Allies, imparticular Australia and New Zealand pushing back Rommel in Northern Africa and holding out massively out manned in Tobrook. Also the old chestnut that we would all be speaking German/Japanese if they didn't come to our rescue really doesn't hold water when you realise both enemies were being pushed back, particularly the Japanese on the Kokoda trail. The japs invented a new phrase for retreat, which was "advance to the rear", because they had no similar word for retreat. In so many cases its well documented Americans were falling behind in the jungles and at the beach head compared to the Australians, and that was even before the arrival from Egypt of the Australian Imperial Force.

Iraq didn't attack us. It is by the authority of the United Nations that we have the right to be there, killing Iraqis in the name of "national security."

Does this seem like a double standard? Hate the U.N., enjoy the authority it gives us?

PHOTOS: The $592 Million U.S. Embassy In Iraq

Construction of the U.S. embassy in Iraq, set to open in September, is projected to cost $592 million, with a staff of 1,000 people and operating costs totaling $1.2 billion a year. It will be a 104-acre complex, which is the size of approximately 80 football fields. On May 10, Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) criticized the ballooning size and cost of the embassy in a hearing with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice:

Now, having said over and over again that we don’t want to be seen as an occupying force in Iraq, we’re building the largest embassy that we have — probably the largest in the world — in Baghdad. And it just seems to grow and grow and grow. … We agree that we should focus our aid locally not in Baghdad, but we have 1,000 Americans at the embassy in Baghdad. You add the contractors and the local staff it comes to 4,000.

Christianity preaches 'turning your other cheek'. In a sense, a Christian nation can not invade another nation, and can not defend itself by causing aggression on its perpetrators?
