Politics & Government - 20 December 2007

People always come back to the point that all us Europeans were immigrants 300 years ago. True, but back then, there wasn't laws established stating that you had to do this and that in order to be a citizen and work and live here. It amazes me when people say that illegal immigrants are doing anything wrong. Ummm...yes, they are doing something wrong, and illegal. If you're going to have a law, you better enforce it. I have no problem with anybody coming here legally, the more the marrier I say. But when you come to our country illegally, you're breaking our law. Then you come have the nerve to live here and not learn our language. I personally think that is extremely rude and disrespectful. And to all the people that say that if we kicked out all the illegals, our economy would be dead.Actually, the fact that most illegal aliens don't pay taxes, this creates a big burden on all the legal citizens that pay taxes.

At the top of my list are good patriotic corporations such Boeing, General Dynamics, Haliburton, etc. These defense contractors build and mantain the very weapons systems that defend American Freedom. I love Wal Mart too, they consistently deliver low prices and tick off the labor union thug types

First lady to a corrupt president; 7 years in the liberal state of NY and has not done anything; She has made numerous speaking faux pas for a so called 'smart' women; Can not give a straight answer to any question asked of her; 50% of the people polled would never consider voting for her; She has never ran anything except for her heath care plan into the ground, so why vote for her? It's illogical.

If the country does go into recession in the coming months, what spin will be put on it to convince us it a good thing?
So far we have been convinced that shipping jobs overseas, a declining dollar, huge federal deficits, declining home values, a prolonged war, invasion over diplomacy, and giving up a few constitutional rights are all good things.
What do you think? How will recession be the best thing that happened to America?

2 Years in Prison for using a mobile while driving, does the sentence fit the crime? People have been killed by drivers using the phone at the time, but do you think the penalty is too little, just right, or over the top?

So I ask you - how empty must a person's life be to report someone over and over and over and over solely because they do not like what they say.

Did you see any curse words in my response?
Did you see any yelling or insulting?
Did you see any violation of the terms of service?

No.

C-9 request for surgery on rt shoulder was submitted by my Ortho Dr ,employer denied me treatment,by stating injury was not work related .Hired lawyer ,claim went to the Industrial Commission of Ohio .District Hearing Officer approved claim
My Dr had already performed Orthoscopic Surgery ,but because employer is once again appealing further treatment was denied (physical therapy) so now 2.5 mths later Dr says surgery is needed again because no follow up treatment was allowed ,retore what he fixed ,and has now progressed into a worse condition,requiring even more drastic measures to fix .
My employer has hired a new team of lawyers to bring me down and now wants me to co-operate with them by seeing an employer paid Dr ,calling it an independent evaluation.
How can they call it that if they are paying for the visit ?
Can and or should I refuse to go ?
Is this now turning into personal injury case
This same employer didn't call me an ambulance when I had a heart attack at work

Americans have a civil right that is called Freedom of Speech. Yahoo Answers has a rule that two complaints causes a post to be deleted. Of course, they want to use this as a way to keep profanity, obscenity, etc., off these forums. Unfortunately, this is not the way members are using the Deletion process.

They are using the "Abuse" key as a weapon against anyone who disagrees with them either politically or in religious matters.

This is clearly against the civil rights of all Americans. It is stifling the political and religious views of other people, denying them their right to Freedom of Speech. Any complaint about this only results in a form letter.

Perhaps an attorney should be consulted, and Yahoo Answers explain their lack of control over these forums. I am saving a copy of every post of mine that has been deleted and I ask that everyone who has a deleted post save a copy. I am also saving posts that DO use profanity and obscenity and are NOT deleted.

These internationalists have no allegiance to the Republic of the USA whatsoever. They even believe they are above international law. If any group should be labeled a terrorist organization, it is the CIA. How do you feel about it?

I just wanted to say I love being an Army Wife! I love the military life...even though it's hard and it sucks sometimes I wouldn't change it. I'm so proud of my man! Anyone else want to brag on their spouse or bf/gf?

I have a Nevada Court Order and my ex lives in Idaho. The order states he is to pay $248.00 current and 284.00 In arrearages every month. The case worker lowered his arrearage payment to $25.00 per month and the arrearage balance is $27,500.00 which will take 90 years to pay off. The state law in Idaho is that they can garnish up to 50% and they are not doing that. They refuse to take my calls in Idaho and my Case worker in Ohio never knows what is going on and tells me there is nothing I can do. How can I get him thrown in jail or his license suspended? Should I involve the D.A. and the Attorney General in his state?

Here is a sight where you can help. If you don't wish to see America pushing into Iran then get more involved or you can just sit back and complain and possibly watch Americans die in vast numbers in Iran. Help Iranians overthrow the Ayatollah.
