I thought this was the same as perjury.My astonishment is that these people know that we know they are lying and do it anyway, Is that office that they are holding that desirable that they would do anything to keep it? There must be something adictive or is it some sort of perverted game they are playing? I want to believe that they really whole heartily want to serve their country and also help to world afterward we get ourselves on course,but somtimes i just think there is something "rotten in denmark"maybe i'm just a dumb country redneck but it just dont add up.

Hey ya'll. I'm doing a project for this class I'm in about Big Brother societies and I need to focus on an American perspective. How do you feel about increased surveillance? If you can tell me your thoughts, your sex, age, and location, that would be most helpful in order to keep a steady statistical sort of data.

Other things to consider:
Do you feel there has been an increase in surveillance?
If so, how have you seen this manifest itself?
Do you feel safer? Why?
In what ways have you noticed or encountered surveillance in your area?
Any general thoughts are deeply appreciated. Thanks!

She owns a Business where they service Vehicles. They do Audio Equipment, Window Tinting, and Interior Work. She decided to have a no Check or Credit policy because she got stiffed too many times. Now she lost a large number of black clients because of this. The only reason she changed the policy was because the majority, according to her reports every month, about 90% of those who stiffed her were black. Now that she changed her policy to no Check or Credit, she lost a great number of black costumers. Now the black community around here are talking bad about her, calling her a racist and what not. Did she do something wrong really?

After having a whiplash injury from the car accident in September, I've had a lawyer company dealing with it, provided through my fully-comprehensive insurance by my car insurance provider, as a part of my policy.

I'm getting the impression that this lawyer seems to be "scrutinise" me, rather than HELPING me & pointing me in the right direction as what to do, etc. in order to maximise the financial gain from the insurance company of other driver.

Is it normal that such lawyer DO NOT help their client & they're ONLY interested in getting the case sorted out by whatsoever amount they manage to get, as a compensation, from the insurance company of other driver ??? If I'm NOT happy with her now OR not happy with the compensation amount she manage to get off the other insurance company's provider, is there an option THEN to find ANOTHER lawyer (perhaps, on "no win, no fee" basis) & let this new laywer redo the entire compensation process, AGAIN ???

In my opinion no crime was committed, at 14 i was old enough to know what sex was and the results of not using a condom, i think that they should just lower the age of consent to 13 like they did in Japan.

In 1987 Richard Brenneke was found innocent of lying to a federal judge after making the following claim in the Iran-Contra Hearings, In September of 1980 he piloted a Plane carrying George Herbert Walker Bush, William Casey, and Donald Greg to Paris France. There they met with the president of Iran. In the meeting 7 million dollars was given and the promis of continued shipment and sales of weapons in support of Iran's war with Iraq in exchange for stalled negotiations with the Carter administration on the release of the Hostages until after the November elections.
The Hostages were releaes during Reagan's inaugreation. This was undermining Jimmy Carter's administration, and endangering U.S. Military personell for political gain.

Never mind the constitution, our existing laws and culture of acceptance. A cry is going up. I see it on television, hear it on the radio and read about it everywhere. I have to say I'm horrified. American muslims contribute so much to this country. They are engineers, nurses, cab drivers, small business owners, doctors, civil servents and my neighbors. Many came here to escape religous persecution. I shudder to think how they feel when they hear the angry voices on the radio, calls racial and religous profiling at the airport. My bias is revealed, but I welcome your opinion especially those that do't share mine.

I saw AE's Intervention last night. It is a documentary program that follows people who have alcohol/drug use problems. The story was about a woman who had a very serious problem with drinking. At 2 points during the show the woman was given a ride by the documentary producers because they did not want her to drive. I believe that to shoot a true documentary one should not interfer in the result, because then you become a participant, and the show is not longer a documentary. For instance if you saw that movie, The March of the Penguins, even though many penguins died from starvation, attacks and the elements, the producers did not interfer and let nature take its course. I understand that in Intervention we are talking about humans, but should a person shooting a documentary become involved in it to that level. This is just something I've been thinking about. Serious answers only, please.

Would a presidential self-pardon be upheld?

The president is, after all, a US citizen. And, last I checked, presidents are allowed to pardon citizens for even the most absurd reasons (in fact, I'm not even sure a reason is even necessary).

I have recently been contacted by the csa concerning a child who is fifteen years old. They want me to pay 20% of my wages over to the mother. Even if I am the biological father ( I have refused to pay £300 to find out) why should I have to pay? The mother never gave any indication or information to me and I have never seen the child.
While I do not condone absent parents, I was NEVER a parent. I had no opportunity to act as one and have lost 15 years of the (my?) childs developmental years.
The childs mother has four children, each by different fathers, and lives in a council house.
I already pay for her and her various iligitimate offspring in the vast tax bills I receive yearly.

Has anybody heard of any methods of fighting the csa?
I was informed that they are to be closed down due to massive administrational mistakes, coruption and incompetence.

Any ideas?

And dont slag me off. I am a responsible, hard working man and I dont deserve to be robbed like this.

Thanks
