i call myself a conservative constitutionalist, because i believe in the constitution as written not interpreted to say what you want it to say. i also believe in personal responsability and that you should pay your own way in life not relie on the government to bail you out of your bad decisions

I have a copy of call of duty 4 for PS3 and my friend said i own the license to copy and use it for my own use, so i use bitlord to download it for PC and i get an email from comcast (my service provider) saying EA games contacted them telling them i broke copyright laws and such. well they dont know i have a copy of the game for a different console. Also, if that doesn't change the fact what will happen? will i be fined or something? i think if i got the game for PS3 it wouldnt matter if i got for PC to play with a friend.

ALSO - I stopped downloading the game at 0.9% cause i decided not to get it but didnt remove it from the loaded for a couple days, i just kept it on pause, does that matter?

Thanks.

I live in Eastern Europe, and when I go to my doctor, I don’t pay anything. This is mainly because a very small percentage is deducted from my pay every month. I watched Michael Moor “Sicko” and I was shocked. Also if a homeless person goes to the doctor, even though he/she is not employed and needs medical assistance, he/she will get one regardless of if they can afford one. This is because of the rule “If everyone chips in, every one can have one”, regardless if they can afford it or not. Plus, I have no problems that a porcion of what I pay, goes to those in need when they need med. Assistance.

How can such powerful nation be so blinded by other possibilities, is beyond me.
So, Why are Americans afraid of Social Medical Care?
Now, my question is very clear, and I would like to hear what you think, regardless of Michal Moor statements. (Thanks!)

Why do we have electoral votes? In the past, presidential candidates have focused on states that have the most electoral votes while practically ignoring other states. Wouldn't we have real democracy if a presidential candidate won the presidency by having the popular vote, and with every vote counting?
Who thinks this "winner take all" system is fair?

Example: (The 2000 presidential election)

Gore won the popular vote with 50,996,116 votes but only had 266 electoral votes.

Bush had 50,456,169 votes but he had 271 electoral votes.

How is it fair that Bush won even though he had less overall votes? Is this democracy?

(For those of you who think I'm mad because I voted for Gore, thats not the case, I voted for Bush, but I think Gore should have won.)

If someone is harrassing you and making verbal threats to you over the phone (via calls, texts, etc) is it possible to get a restraining order? And what if they live in a different state. It is harrassment, i am sure of that, but, would it be worthy of a restraining order?

My reason for wanting my own money is/was to buy An XMAS gift. My sister, who is a Jehovah's Witness denied me my right to buy myself an XMAS gift because of her non holiday celebrating beliefs. And I feel that isn't right. Is what she is doing illegal? She has the right to deny me money bur for her religious beliefs? I would think that wouldn't be legal but I am not sure.

I was skating at the local mall garage and the security gave my friend and I a trespassing order. We were longboarding trying to carve down the ramps, which sucked and now I regret even going there.

Now, what is this trespassing order and does it prevent me from going to this mall? When is it lifted and is it considered a felony? Will my college hear about this?

Working for the common goal of making life enjoyable for ALL our citizens?
One of the greatest American industrialists Henry Ford understood these principles.That is why he started paying his employees $5 a day........an unheard of wage at the time........ Because he understood that he needed a prosperous middle classes to continue selling his cars!

Another extremely wealthy man J. paul Getty once wrote "Labor is intitled to its fair share of the profits"....... and he actually believed the unions made life better for ALL Americans!
