Over Half of the Children in the USA are Home-Schooled
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Studies undertaken by the Phoenix education think-tank 'Socrates' revealed today that from analysis of national census records, over half of the children and adolescents aged between five and eighteen in the United States are now home-schooled. 'The results are much more eye-opening than we thought,' commented John Sessions, CEO of Socrates, 'our result reveals that 52.4% of American children are now educated at home. We'll be running more studies to find the cause of this phenomenon, but as of yet, results are inconclusive.'

The widespread growth of home-schooling in the US was first brought to the World's attention in the 'New Scientist' magazine, which predicted in 2006 that current trends would ensure that by 2035 approximately 50% of American children and adolescents would be educated at home.

The Phillips Administration has been monitoring the situation carefully. A Whitehouse spokesperson told The Guardian 'The President and her government are doing all they can to monitor and regulate the situation. Although one is able to educate their child at home, as is their Constitutional right, they must be aware that children need to learn certain things to become productive members of society.'

I was arrested and sent to jail for two days and nights. Someone had stolen my purse and use my social security number to make fradulent checks. On the same day the person stole a woman's credit card a made 1000s of dollars worth of purchases. So two weeks later they picked me up for it. It was on a Friday night, i didn't have any idea why they were picking me up. I spent the first night in the most disgusting place on earth, just awful. the next morning I was transfered to the city that had sent the warrent out for my arrest. I went through a gruesome interrogation, name calling by the officers and everything. During the whole time I was telling him that it wasn't me. He told me that they did a handwriting analysis and it was a match. Also he told me that some identified me from a security camera. There was nothing I could say that would convince him. I have a 15 month old and the thought of going to prison for 5 years terrified me. I bond out for 500. They found the real girl. What?

I need to know what rules you have to follow while arresting a woman, as far as treatment. One of my female cousins was arrested recently and was roughed up by the officers. It would be helpful if anyone knew any specific rules.

I haven't seen my nineteen year old sister in three days. She left to go on a date with some guy she met online and I haven't seen or heard from her. She called in to work 2 days ago and has been scheduled off since then. I checked her Myspace and it says she logged in this morning, but it's not like her to just disappear like this. Our mother is sick in the hospital and she would surely have at least called to check on mom by now..

Question: Isn't it embarrassing to be a NEOCON with their anti-science pro-discrimination pro-violence views?

Question Details: I just love all those hypocrites who suggest that neo-cons are judgmental while judging neo-cons. You silly little mind. Judgment is required of all of us if we are going to survive. It is by our judgment that we observe liberal nuttiness and reject its foolishness. For instance, when you base your evaluation of a candidate for college on skin color, you are racist and you are hurting the very race you claiming to help, but it makes you feel good because you feel guilty about their plight. http://judgeright.blogspot.com

This term, "hate crime," refers to a violent crime inspired by racially-charged hatred. As a result, offenders can be given heavier sentences for the racial aspect of the said crime. Here's my question: what kind of violent crime ISN'T "hateful"? Since when did someone commit a violent act out of love? Is this just a tactic used by minority groups to serve their own interests? Like it or not, people have the RIGHT to be racist, and until they commit a crime as a result of that racism, they can not be charged as criminals. Therefore, racial motivation should play no role in the sentencing of the convict as racism alone is not illegal, but rather, only the violent acts that may follow are such. You know where I stand at this point, now I want to hear what YOU think about these "hate crimes."

For example, if there is security video tape that caught the whole thing, do I have any right to see it? If the establishment that owns the tape does not allow me to see it, does this constitute withholding evidence? If possible, please note what law (the title, section, or number) deals with this. Any info at all on this would help!

minuites ago I read that 2 men are suing Michael Richards over his comments. So my questiuon is: What legal standing do they have to file a lawsuit? They were not physically injured, and free speach is still protected. The only way I see they would be entitled to damages is if was a libel lawsuit, which would make no sense.

Okay, so you have child pornography. Well, even if the child really wants to do it (say a 13 year old girl), would it be legal, because she wants to do it?

we the public are being victims of shop lifters, and car thief's and people doing break and enters and even home invasions. But if that person is under the age of 18 we the public are not allow to know who is targeting us,and the worse part of this is those committing the crimes know this and their identity is safe and secure. The laws of this country are here to protect the Innocent not those committing the crimes. I would ask is it not time to get rid of the young offenders act. or at least reduce it to the age of 12?
