I don't believe either will take place. I think they're both something to pacify both sides of the issue. The situatiion as it stands will continue for many years in my opinion and be brought up every once in a while for election purposes AGAIN!

What is your opinion on it?

Please do not answer if you are rabid supporter of one party or the other - I do not want angry answers, just thoughtful ones.

I am certainly not in any easy to define catagory.

1.) I abhor illegal immigration and feel strongly that this country is already too populated at over 300 million. I feel we need to slow down on legal immigration (from ALL countries) or our children and grandchildren will suffer terribly.

2.) I also strongly feel that we need to protect the environment. As we get bigger we use more natural resources. To the extent that increasing fuel mileage is meaningless if we continue to grow in numbers (see #1).

3.) We need to hold people accountable for EVERY decision they make. If they have kids they need to pay for them themselves. If they don't want to work then they can starve. We need to stop taking money from one group of people and giving it to another group. There should only be exceptions for the truely disabled but nobody else.

I have an online classified website and need a terms of service and privacy policy. Is it illegal for me to take another site's contracts (like Craigslist) and use it as my contract as long as I take out "Craigslist" and put it my company name?

I've spoken to a couple of lawyers and they told me that I could do this and that there was nothing I could be sued for because there aren't copyrights on legal documents. Is this true?

My mother is a hairstylist. About a year ago, one of her clients gave her a necklace & two rings to pass on to my daughters. Now, all of a sudden, the lady's son is calling my mom demanding that the necklace be returned, because it was supposed to go to his daughter, who wants the necklace NOW. We moved since the jewelry was given to my daughters, and now, needless to say, are unable to find the necklace. My mom's afraid that the man is going to sue her for the necklace, but I'm thinking that since it was a gift, he can't do that. Any suggestions?

I mean.. Saddam is gone, Iraq is propably worst than 10 years ago, the Bushes and Bin Ladens are richer, Israel is not safer than before, Palestinians are still suffering, Talebans are still around, extremists are raising all over the world, first of all Iranian's prime minister... Who is behind all this?

There's a big debate going on now about allowing this degree for teacher candidates. It is being promoted by the Institution for Creation Research.

Would this devalue the credentials of all science teachers and misrepresent to the public the capabilities of teachers with questionable diplomas?

That's what you hear from the right all the time. Do they seriously believe that by not having lower gas prices means that we didn't go there for the oil. Does the law of supply and demand make any sense at all to the right? Alan Greenspan himself said it was for the oil. Bushco has been planning this oil invasion long ago. They were even trying to do it again with Iran and their bogus US intelligence.

I've been told that blood test results that are above a .17 are considered a "High Tier DUI" and that the penalties are stiffer. Does anyone know what sort of penalties would be imposed on someone’s first DUI arrest with a clean record?

This is going to be a long story....

My fiance used to live with his mate but they fell out as he kept letting girls stay alone in his house and one of them was a thief...anyway my fiance moved out because basically the bloke said he wouldnt stop letting girls in...they also work together...they managed to be civil and carry on working together and its been over a year since then-nearly 2 years actually...day before they finished work for xmas they had a row because my fiance disagreed with this bloke view on a computer game...my fiance said he didnt want to talk to him anymore as this bloke was getting a bit over the top and a small shouting match started...when they finished the store they were cleaning the bloke got in van and went to drive off...so my fiance grabbed the equipment and tried to get in the van-but the bloke kept reversing until he was pinned against the walll and door-he managed to slide out and ran to van door and took out car keys....

Bit of a weird question but what are army boots like? They go on those long runs whilst carrying heavy equipment & they just don't look comfortable, i have a pair of Timberlands & they're bad enough just walking in as there's no support whatsoever.

Thanks in advance.

I expect to see some 'shouting' going on here, but please stay civil, people!

I believe it's better for a 15 (for example) year old KID to have an abortion, than to have her try to raise a child in our modern society, or worse, dump it. Why do some folks (and you know who you are) raise such a
rant to make them have the kid, but then you complain about how many people are on welfare?
Don't you realize that a teenager with a baby can't go to high school, get good grades and on to college to make something of herself? There are a VERY few who have done it with lots of support from their families, but most kids who get pregnant that young do it because they DON'T have a family support system in place.
Why do you insist they have the baby, then complain about them not supporting themselves, and THEN vote for more money to arrest them and put them in jail when they go bad?
I say, OK abortions up to 1st term, REQUIRE abortions in incest and rape cases, alcohic/drug addict moms.

The republicans need a bump in the poles and creating fear in Americans always seems to help them. So the CIA assisinated Bhutto, creating chaos and the fear that the nuclear weapons in Pakistan will go to the terrorists. The republicans hope that this new fear will move the moderates to the right (where most were before Bush took office).

What do you think? Are the neo-cons ruthless enough to do something like this to maintain control of America?
