Why do we need parties anyway (political)?
I should probably know this, but I don't.

My HOA's improper placement of sandbags in the common area channeled water and mud to my property instead of the storm drain. The drains in my yard filled with mud my yard was flooded. I would like to recover money not only to repair but also build a drainage system to protect my yard in the future. Would a judge go for that?

Don't you think Hillary would the same thing that Bush did. She vote the war, I don't see the difference when Democrat say they don't want someone like Bush.

What you guys think about this? president Bush wants to get rid of the borders and make Mexico, US and Canada one nation the "North American Union". isn't this illegal, unconstitutional? this is a democracy, it should be put on vote first. I'm against this. Give your opinion.

Ok, I live here in Ohio. I had some renters and we had to evict them. They left a awful mess. Well they turned in the keys. Two days later they went back up to the house and busted all of the windows out. Is their anyway I can get them for Vandalism or Criminal Damaging? The people are known for this type of stuff. They have records a mile long.

If there is a "terrorist"attack all Bush has to do is declare martial law and use an executive order that FDR signed back in the 30s ,can essentially make him a president for another term.He already said hes not to happy about whos running and wants in on the race and it didnt seem like he wanted to support anyone cause he thinks they are all underqualified ,he hinted this at the press confrence yesterday.

The goal of corporate prisons is profit so they push to have as many people incarcerated as possible for as long as possible. Why are non-violent drug offenders being used as "assets" for corporate prisons at the taxpayer expense? Why are we paying thousands of dollars a month to imprison each person only to have them learning how to become a true criminal when they ever get out? What should be done?

Though there are differnt estimates of exactly when it will happen, it is pretty much universally accepted that as the system stands now, both Social Security and Medicare will go bankrupt within the upcomming few decades as the babyboomers all retire. Some estimates show the required outlays for the two programs to equal the equivenlent of the entire federal budget at current growth rates. Obviously this cant happen.

So what do you think will be the more likely "fix"? Much higher taxes on the younger generation or drastic benifit cuts for the older generation?

After being in the service for 4 years, i will technically be a veteran correct? If i'm a veteran, than shouldn't that entitle me to not have to pay out of state tution?

Ok, I know this is stupid but I thought i could get away with it. I tried to steal an energy drink and a tray of carrs deli food, as i was leaving, some black chick grabs me from behind, so i panic, and I try to get free of her grasp, and doing so, i fell to the ground on my knees, which really messed them up bad, and apparently took down the black chick with me, and some other dude came out and pretty much jumped on me, so they take me back, and the cops say they are charging me with a felony, robbery 2 or soemthing, because of assault and theft, apparently the stupid ****** hurt her knee. So all this stupid bs goes by, and the next day, the security from carrs calls my work and tells them that I cant work because of what happened, and I was never even in Jail, and im fully capiable of working, so is there any way I can like get out of this or sue someone or anything? cause this is complete bull ****, i never hurt anyone, especially on purpose, and who the hell would call someonejob

"Taxes at all levels -- federal, state, and local; hidden and visible -- take about 50% of a family's income. We must work from January to June just to pay taxes."

What new and incredible services is the government now providing to us to justify such a massive increase in taxes? What should be done about this?

and you'd have to leave your 3 yr old and 1 yr old 6 hours away for 6 weeks with military friends or a nanny from the foreign country? Well that's what the military expects me to do, or I can pay for myself to go back to the US (between $4,000- $5,000) Or I can just have the baby all by myself. IS THIS SO WRONG? I'm not even in the military, I'm a military spouse. HOW CAN THEY NOT SUPPORT FAMILIES?

I do think that jail isn't what it should be. I mean these people adults and kids...do something wrong...and then they get shelter, warmth, food, something to drink, clothing. That isn't punishment!! And the taxpayers have to pay for this crap?! Bunch of nonsense!!
