I think Gen Petreus and Rush Limbaugh are the winners, and the axis of treason in the US congress (Blinky the terror Clown ,Benedict Murtha, Dick Turbin Durbin, Harry the Surrender Monkey Reid and the senators that signed that letter)

A family member refused to answer questions in a deposition after being served papers from the court. She was held in contempt and fined for the money the opposing counsel had to spend to attempt this deposition. Can she somehow get out of the fines? even with a lawyer? any help would be appreciated.

I was driving home at night and noticed I was being followed. The car would come up right behind me, fall back to where I couldn't see the headlights anymore, and speed up to be right on my ass again. This is a country road with some areas of good curves and plenty of turns. I was followed for about six miles and was starting to get really scared. So I went through a stop sign at a four way (in the country-deserted all the time). The car was nowhere in sight. Half a mile later there it is again with red and blue light flashing, and I get a ticket-but only for admitting to it (stupid!) when he asked if I knew why he stopped me. He claimed I also went through another stop sign in town (did not) and that I was speeding---four miles ago!!!. He comes back and gives me a ticket for the one thing I admitted to-that he didn't see. Do I have a good chance of getting out of this one? If he hadn't been following me in such a scary way I would have been fine.

The U.S. is a superpower. We have the largest economy, greatest global influence, powerful military, vast diversity, the world's longest surviving federation, the source of remarkable literature and art. That list could go on forever.

So how is it, considering all of this, that our currency is quickly losing value, our government has lost the people's trust, our health care system is one of the worst in the world, citizen's can't earn a proper education, homelessness persists through some of the world's most lavish cities, and to top it off we are not as beloved around the world as we think we are?

Does this depress you as much as it does me?

What can I do to make the United States the country that it ought to be? The land of the free and home of the brave.

Please answer that question. Don't tell me the benefits of the dollars falling value or tell me I'm reciting liberal talking points. I usually vote for conservative candidates and I understand the economics of devalued currency.

Is it possible to be restricted within a certain location without imposing on a person's constitutional rights? And for a family matter? I could see restrictions on security risks or something like that but for things dealing with family court? Is it true?

My friends dared me to steal something from this store called Funk and Standard.... it was just a little keychain that cost about 8 dollars... I feel really guilty and scared and I really regret doing it. I wont ever do it again.

But im worried that they might reconize me the next time I go in or something. Im probably going to go in tomorrow because I have to go christmas shopping... one of my friends said there was a camera behind me(it couldnt of seen my face), the other didnt really say anything.. They were both kind of covering me too. I didnt make it obvious, I made it pretty secretive. Im really worried about getting caught so what are my chances that the camera saw me and that they could reconize me? Im so scared.

Overwhelmingly, Ron Paul. A few Huckleberries, a few McCains. NO Hillaries or Obamas that I know of.

I have a rational mind....A "good one"....and Yahoo helps me to educate myself. Because I am open minded, yet opinionated, I love diving into this liberally biased forum. I look at, and study evereyone`s responses......I`m not trying to "win"...I`m trying to learn and educate others at the same time.....Bet my liberal friends will feel uneasy with all that....

I'm refering to the IRA bombing of London, Birmingham, Manchester and Belfast on a regular basis. There was active American campaigns for fund raising for weapons in the support of terrorism in British cities for many years while Irish and British civilians were being torn apart by bombs in their home towns.

Post 9/11 the UK has done everything to support the USA and has never allowed collections towards terrorist bombing to take place in England

I'm 17 years old and I will be 18 before the election, so I will be able to vote.
I want to become involved with the election some how.
I'm not going to lie, I am pretty clueless when it comes to politics, but I want to change that.
Politics have started to become appealing to me, but they are confusing.
So how can I learn more about them, and how can I become involved with the election?
Thanks!

Okay, this is freaking me out. I'm twelve years old, and I live really close to my middle school so I walk home every day. About 3 days ago, this guy was following me. I was walking on one side of the road, he was on the other. I couldn't see his face at all- he had on this hoody that covered his head, like, completely. When I slowed down, he did too. When I walked fast, so did he. He could have been a student at my middle school too, only he wasn't wearing a backpack...or carrying a binder or anything. This is really creeping me out. He followed me home again today. Followed me all the way home. At the end of the road where I live, it's a dead end. But he walked over there anyway, so now he knows where I live! This is so freaky, what should I do?

I need to write an essay for my management class. I'd like to consider writing about how the government favors the poor more than the rich. Any info that could add more substance to my paper would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It's a small town of about 60k population as well as a college town. A girl showed up missing last week and I have been worrying about her/the murderer constantly. 2 hours ago the police announced they found her body in the crawl space (makes you think.. how reliable are these people? they don't know how to thoroughly investigate the scene??)

What would you do? Would you move?

My husband is 61yrs old and never lost a day's work in his life. I am almost 59 yrs. My husband has not a pension through his firm. Took out Private Pension which has literally 'went down the tubes' as have many others. His state pension forecast shows he should get approx. £200 per wk at 65 yrs. My state pension shows I should get just a little under £100 per week. We thought therefore this would be our joint income if he retired, plus a very small private pension. However, a friend who is usually knowlegeable in such matters actually laughed at us and said we will not recieve anything like this from the state and more likely to be something like £130 per wk between the 2 of us. I am now a bit worried with how we could survive on that. Is this correct?: Both of us have worked almost all our lives.

I support Dennis Kucinich 110%. He seems to be a very decent human being and very optimistic about America's future. He has voted against the war always, voted against the Patriot act, voted against NAFTA and advocates for universal health care. So my question is, why since Dennis Kucinich seems to represent the basic core values of the Democratic party, does he get mocked by people in his OWN party?
