Now that driving whilst using a mobile phone is illegal in the UK, Do you think that smoking, eating, and drinking whilst driving should be aswell? Suerly eating a sandwich, or taking a drink from a can of coke is just as distracting as using a mobile?

I own a company that is currently working on a "low cost" retinal scanning product. It categorizes people and will be able to ID sexual offenders, criminals, and illegal aliens. I hope it reduces crime in this country while improving national security. I have been told our product will be unfair. The police I have talked to don't think so...what do you think?

The government is increasing the minimum wage to £5.35 on the 1st of October is this enough?

Surely a more realistic wage would in the region of £8.00 - £10.00 per hour.

The CBI wants to halt increases as they say it is bad for business, but it's only bad for the sweat shop business and the UK wants to avaoid this kind of industry.

Surely the minimum wage is too low!

My crazy ex is telling me that he has my SSN and Medicaid# and that he's going to be tracking me wherever I go. I'm moving out of state to get away from him, so I know him having my Medicaid# won't do any good since I'll get a whole new one in the state I'm moving to, but whenever I apply to get a job or credit card or anything that involves my SSN, I know he'll have a PI tracking it to see where I am (he's done it before with a previous ex of his). Does anyone know if I can have my # changed or anything I can do to make it not possible for him to track me? The office is closed right now so I can't call them to find out anything until Monday.

Im concered with my mom, who works at a factory packing products. She has told me things about her manager and says that she feels that she doesnt get the same respect as everyone. She is forced to do much harder tasks than the other employees and when she asked for a lighter task like the other employees, she was told (by the manager) to either keep doing her job or go home. She also says that the other employees have recieved gifts, but not her. Although this doesnt bother her, the thought of not being equal to everyone else vexes her. Ive seen her very depressed due to this! She doesnt want to quit because its very hard to find another job. Is there anything she can do? Legal action? just anything? help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Should we kill people here in England, who kill English citizens without any good reason (in cold blood, NOT in self-defence)?? I think we should, especially immigrants, or foreign people who come over and kill our people, like the case of the Chelsea business man last year stabbed to death in his own home. Should the killers die, this would free up space in our full up jails, leaving more space to chuck more criminals in there who are getting let off, or let out early now because of lack of space for them. Why should the TAX PAYER pay to keep the scum bags alive for like 20 years. Get rid of them and have done?? Anyone agree

When Fines are issued, should they not be issued on the basis of a percentage of the offenders income, rather than a flat amount. To someone with an income of £1000 per week, a £100 fine hurts but is just 10% of their income; but to someone who has an income of only £100 per week, the same fine absorbs ALL of their income and treats them worse than the person with the higher income.

Surely the current system applies less and less, the more income you have, and more and more, the less income you have.

The Government knows what everybodies income is from the Tax we all pay, so how about a minimum fine plus a percentage of income to make it fairer for EVERYONE! What do you think? Would it work? What could the extra money be used for?

I heard that a Federal Law passed to postpone the end of daylight savings for a week, from Sunday, October 29th making it now to end on Sunday, November 5th. My question is, "Did I hear about the change correctly?"
Providing the HR bill would be a plus!!

If prisoners were given the option of serving their full sentence or serving a half sentence as slaves, would you own a slave. Say for example the government got tired of housing all the criminals, so they came up with a slave program. Imagine also that slaves would be implented with a special microchip that would prevent them from leaving your property by delivering an electric shock to them if they approached the boundary and you would also have a device that shocked them the same way if they rebelled. So you could be assured of complete control over them. How many of you would purchase a slave?

This rule was just recently enforced by the management team. The employees considered this as an incentive or perk of the job. Now we are begining to feel as though this is in violation of our constitutional rights. Is this an issue worth joining hands to protest. Even on our days off we are strictly forbidden to have a drink.
