If you could run automobiles and industry on, say, compressed air, how would that effect the world economy.

Today I went to the movie theatre, and as I was walking out I saw this army person in her bdu's walking in. Yes she was going to see a movie, as you can not get into the theatre without buying a ticket first on the outside. But me being prior airforce, I always was told that you are only supposed to wear your uniform for quick stops, such as get gas or buying groceries not for leasure activites. So is it allowed or not?

Interrogation/torture - keep in mind it could be you, your son, daughter, spouse, etc...or you could be the one designated to implement it.

The United States is one of the few countries in which the highest court of the land has the power to declare a law unconstitutional. Do you believe that such a power is of benefit to a country? Explain your answer.

And how can we achieve it? Clearly we can't go from country to country wiping out all governments that house terrorists, can we? And don't just say "A safer world" or "Kill all the terrorists", I'm talking about more specific goals.

this is kinda a long story but i'll make it short..a month ago i purchased a sidekick 2 online from a 17 year old girl(it was through myspace, yes i know i shouldnt have). i trusted her because she had a "shop" site and had positive feedback from several people. i sent her $60 through paypal. basically i never recieved anything and finally after i told her i was going to send her to court she sent me some verizon phone with gross videos of her doing things to some guy! well i told her i want my money back and she said she would send it but never did. me being smart i had screen shot every single message, from day 1 and saved it to my computer. i looked up her dad's name in the white pages and found her address. i sent her a message saying that i have it (i was never rude or said a curse word) so its not like she can just try and get out of giving my money back. now her dad wants to sue me just for looking up their address! can they do that after she scammed me and i have all the proof?

as long as you don't file, you haven't broken any laws. once you file, you enter into an agreement to pay. the US supreme court ruled in 1991 that our labor was our personal property and we exchange it equally in exchange for pay. the 16th amendment recquires only those who "profit or gains" to be taxed. the vast majority of americans aren't recquire to pay income taxes. they outlawed slavery in 1864.

this is why the irs threaten so hard and then simply settle out of court. THEY DON'T WANT IT TO GO TO COURT because they will lose in court. the supreme court has already set precedence.

This is a doubt and question regarding legal matters. No legal advice is necessary. Just a clarification.. Yesterday the Mumbai court in INDIA gave 2 punishments to one person ( 1.Life imprisonment for murder and 2. Five years imprisonment for a grave offence) The court directed that the 2 punishments be implemented same time. My doubt is when he is undergoing life imprisonment, how the 5 years imprisonment can be implemented? When it can not be implemented what is the rationale in awarding a second punishment. Any legal experts are welcome to clarify this doubt. Thank you.

THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
________________________________________
For Immediate Release August 20, 1998
ADDRESS TO THE NATION BY THE PRESIDENT

The Oval Office
5:32 P.M. EDT

THE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon. Today I ordered our Armed Forces to strike at terrorist-related facilities in Afghanistan and Sudan because of the imminent threat they presented to our national security.
I want to speak with you about the objective of this action and why it was necessary. Our target was terror. Our mission was clear -- to strike at the network of radical groups affiliated with and funded by Osama bin Laden, perhaps the preeminent organizer and financier of international terrorism in the world today.

Because with the international diplomatic problems we are experiencing with Russia by our continued co-operation with your country over the missile defense shield we are in grave danger of future attack. But what does the USA ever do for the UK? and before you say the usual bullshit about us having bad teeth and we would be speaking German if it wasn't for you I have three points to make

A) If it wasn't for England (the language you speak) you would have been colonized by Spain.

B) The United States assault on Omaha beach was a complete disaster, you demonstrated utter incompetence during that mission and you know it

C) You made us pay cash with interest for every bit of help that you gave us during World war 2, we only finished paying the loan last year.

So don't tell us that we would be speaking German if it wasn't for you because you wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for us.

I live in Pennsylvania and had this lady make up false harassment charges. When I took it to court me and my lawyer talked to the police officer and he plus the judge came to an understanding that the charges were totally false. The charges were totally dropped and the ticket was thrown out because I have never seen the lady before and never seen her after she also did not come to court. My question is do I still need to have my record expunged even if the ticket was thrown out and the charges were dropped?

Since the days of Pearson the Canadian Forces gradually developed an association with "Peace Keeping". We seem to have lost that entirely with recent deployments.
Who thinks that Canada could take the lead and create an "International Rescue" agency and entirely give up the idea of "military".? What a great lead this would be to all other nations. Lets sell those submarines and tanks and develop an effective airlift capacity that can bring help and not arms.

No disresepect to veterans who served their country and cause. I myself am a veteran of the military and served in times of conflict.

I would encourage them to flee. We don't want them living here anyway. It would be a good way for us to cleanse our polluted population.
