It is a photo of my grandfather when he was in the Navy. There is a symbol on the lifeboat behind him that appears to be a WV - could that be the USS West Virginia? Thanks!

The crime was a misdemeanor in a different state. It has been expunged. Can medical schools see this type of record?

The US Constitution was ratified on June 21st, 1788. It did not allow for a federal income tax. There could only be excise taxes and apportioned taxes. Subsequent US Supreme Court cases affirmed that a federal income tax was UnConstitutional. So to destroy everything the founding fathers stood for, the federal government had to create the 16th Amendment to the Constitution which took affect in 1913 and directly contradicted the original Constitution.

I am looking at my speeding ticket and he wrote the wrong date/time. A friend told me that because the cop messed up the information on the ticket, it might be thrown out by the court. Does this idea hold any validity?

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Specifically the part about "prohibiting the free exercise"

I was wondering, should females be allowed in combat? It makes sense, in a personnel sense, it would alleviate the manpower situation, and increase the amount of soldiers availble for combat by 50%. Other countries allow female combat soldiers. And I think everybody here agrees, woman soldiers are as brave and as dedicated to their country as men. So why not?

I just received my first pay slip and I see that they only paid me for 1 hour on my first day. I was there from 10 - 3, so 5 hours but they only paid me for one. I think they did this because I was actually on the tills (I work as a sales assistant in Boots) from 2 -3, the rest of the time I was watching health and safety videos, signing papers and going through all the requirements and things I have to do.

I think it is stupid to listen to people complain about someone not speaking English. If you want to communicate with someone from Mexico, speak Spanish to them. It's not rocket science...

In war movies from the Vietnam era, you always hear the soldiers referring to the enemy troops as "Charlie". Why do they call them this?

the main reasons health care costs are so high are

insurance administration fees
premiums increasing due to uninsured claims

with a universal healthcare system, administration, paperwork, and all that crap would decline, making the #1 reason for increases a non issue. 2nd issue is the uninsured, who go to the ER where a basic medical procedure costs 5-10x more. By everyone being insured, uninsured costs would go down.

Thus, universal healthcare reduces the premiums of EVERYONE, including the wealthy .

Why is this so hard to understand?

Please read my entire opinion....I do have compassion and also understand why many cross. BUT I also realize how many die trying and how many get hurt by Coyotes ( the animal and the people coyotes). That tears me up inside thinking of the hundreds that die every year. So to me it's more humane to make things more difficult to cross that border so less will try and lose their lives. I can't imagine the heartbreak some mother has when her child goes missing trying to cross. Never hearing what happened or if they're even alive. Or if they were tortured by some criminal who prays on these people. I had sons in a war zone and that was my biggest fear that they'd be captured and tortured. So if we look at the humane side wouldn't MORE enforcement as a deterrent be the most humane thing in the long run?

Does anyone else feel this way or is it simply a matter of money or crime that motivates your opinion on the matter?

It was originally reported that she got shot in the neck and throat, but now the Pakistani government says she killed herself by hitting her head on the sunroof.

Any ideas?
