Politics & Government - 30 December 2007

do you think america elect leaders for the other countries that are poor? i think that because america runnin into all these countries and getting involve with there leaders. like when bush said "A new Pakistani general has just been elected," the candidate responded, then corrected himself. "He's not elected. This guy took over office. He appears he's going to bring stability to the country, and I think that's good news for the subcontinent."

"And you can name him?" the reporter asked.

"General. I can name the general," the candidate said.

"And it's?" the reporter pressed "General," said Texas Gov. George W. Bush " he said this when the elections were gonna held in the usa in 1999 to 2000. i also believe they do elect other leaders because some of my relatives are in the indian politics and also some friends from the other countries such as pakistan. and they say the same thing n knows what goes in there countries politics

It seems to me that everyone just wants to sit around and talk about it, but the government isn't actually doing anything... does anyone else realize how quickly it's becoming a bigger and bigger problem? people are still driving their SUVs around

3herniated (neck): 2 buldges (mid-back) 3 buldges, 1 hernaition (low back). I live in new york and my no-fault coverage was cut off around June. I still have pain and I am still taking pain meds (percocet). I haven't been able to work due to the pain and depression that has set in since i've also rarely left my house since the accident. The lawyers tell me that i'm only entitled to the minimum settlement ($25,000) since both he and I have the minimum coverage on our automobiles. The accident has also left me without an atuomobile. My lawyers also will not do an assest check on the guy who crashed into me; one reason was because the guy could hide his assests once he knew there was a check being ran (total nonsense excuses). Am i wrong in thinking that my lawyers are lying to me (not that lawyers are known for telling the truth)? Is an assest check an absurd request for a 24 year old, who was in excellent shape and mind be4? more money would be nice, expenses is goal!

how do you explain a person (for 4 years of marriage) telling me that the large scar on his foot was due to stepping on a booby trap in vietnam and that the large scar on his side was from being hit by explosives and lying in a riverbed in vietnam? i just found out from his sister that they were both surgical scars from his childhood. i fell in love with a "war hero," who says he drove for pierre salinger and others, but his dd214 says nothing about anything, including ever even having been in vietnam. (he also says he was a seal/frogman) but his dd214 says nothing about any of this. we are separated, and i'm still in shock. i'm having a hard time understanding that someone could actually be such a liar. some people say that vietnam service in 1961-1965 was kept secret and off the dd214s, but that still doesn't excuse the other lies.

Hi there!
My fiance wanted to go into the marines but found somethig else he likes better in the air force.
His recruiter lied to him (and me) like crazy and either he wasn't listening or they tricked him a MEPS but anyway.. the question i have is..

When he was at MEPS he signed a contract (he told ME, he could have lied to me, but he told me they told him he had to sign this at MEPS to continue getting a physical and all) and then he said he swore in because "everyone had to swear in".
*Don't ask me why he didn't really read the contract or why he didn't ask why they were swearing him in, I have NO idea & I'd like to know too LOL

Anyway, I know his recruiter will tell him he is in and he HAS to go. Is there anyway he can get out and get into the air force like he wants?

**Please BE NICE lol I know some people on here are fiesty**

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!! =)

Ideally I would like to see a pie chart or some short but accurate description of how we spend our federal income tax revenues. Specifically, I want to know how much of our income taxes pay down principal or interest on our national deficit. Please send me easier sources to interpret than:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/fy2008/

or, if you are going to refer to that document, send me a page number of a particular document that gives this detail. Do not mean to be lazy, but I have a lot of work to do and maybe some of you already know where this info sits.

Having just watched "60 Minutes" segment on the Drug Enforcement Agency busting legitimate (by California law) marijuana dispensories, wouldn't the DEA's time and resources be better spent on getting rid of methamphetamine, heroin, and other "hard" drugs - drugs with histories of addiction?

We’ve been though court and i now have soul custody. He has visitation every wed, and every other weekend. I was told that before i could get support he had to have a job and making over $8000 a yr. He's 17 (18 in April) has dropped out of school, and only has two credits. So because he is a failure he don’t have to support his child? He's stated that he will not give me child support, and i know as long as he lives with his mom he will never have to get a job. He’s also never had one that wasn’t under the table. I’m willing to go back to court. Is there any way i can get around this?
I’m trying to do the right things, I’ve tried reasoning with him. Since he don’t want to give me money with out a court order (and the only way he is making it is dealing drugs.. that’s a hole other story.)I’ve told him i would be happy with a pack of diapers, and outfit, even a Sippy cup! The only thing he has got his son in the 20 months he’s been living was 2 outfits.
I live in WINDSOR ONTARIO

There is a George Washington, Abraham Lincoln. I would think there would be a Thomas Jefferson before a George H.W. Bush or the new one about to be built Gerald R. Ford.

Do they still believe the earth is the center of the universe? Is their belief still the dogma of hiding your head in the sand? How much PROOF do you need to over come your beliefs?

First, thanks to all of those who responded to my question that posted initially about my stolen laptop from the school library. However, I would like to make somethings clear. First my laptop was not stolen by a student or a stuff or teacher. It was stolen by someone from the street who was not even suppose to be in the school to begin with. Second the emergency door was suppose to have an alarm but this door doesn't have it and the camera next the door doesn't work. yes I should have taken my laptop with me but the school also should have made sure that the people who should not be in school stay out off the school. what you guys think know???
