since having pride in ones self of who s/he is and who the are is a form of prejudice or racist, and without pride in ones self what do you really owe for your existence? if you are a productive working stiff who takes pride in what s/he does, what you have accompolished ,their back ground, and you don't think you are any better than a common drug dealer, theif, rapist, murder, welfare recipent for generations then how do you go to work every day and pay your bills take care of your family etc, I remember the time when we played ball against the oppisite side of town our cheer leaders would be yelling we are the best and we are going to beat the slop out of you, it made our competive spirit higher and we tried harder, now our cheer leaders are not allowed to say such??? It seems our news media and gov, has been trying for the last 40 years to take away our pride in even being American, to me that is plain stupidity,

My son got drunk at the bar and punch out the empty paper towel dispenser. They told him he had to pay $50 for it. While taking the money out of his wallet the bar mgr. tried to grab his wallet and bite his arm trying to get him to release his wallet. He filed a police report and went to the doctors but now is getting threatening phone calls telling him to settle his differences out of court, it seems the bar owner is the brother in-law of the head of the DEA in the town. The (female) bar mgr. was fired but I am not sure what kind of dad advice to give him what to do next......

How serious it is if someone is using other people's name without their consent?
For example if someone owns a company and claims that mister x and dr. y are members of his board of directors, and this is false, Is this a crime?
In addition, how serious is false filling with the secratery of state?
For example if someone fill that mister z is his company's treasurer and he is not even employed with the company, what law would he be violating?
Are all of those criminal?

Like Old Imperialism, New Imperialism relies for its success on a network of agents - corrupt local elites who service Empire. We all know the sordid story of Enron in India. The then-Maharashtra government signed a power purchase agreement that gave Enron profits that amounted to 60 percent of India's entire rural development budget. A single American company was guaranteed a profit equivalent to funds for infrastructural development for about 500 million people!

Unlike in the old days, the New Imperialist doesn't need to trudge around the tropics risking malaria or diarrhea or early death. New Imperialism can be conducted on e-mail. The vulgar, hands-on racism of Old Imperialism is outdated. The cornerstone of New Imperialism is New Racism.

The best allegory for New Racism is the tradition of "turkey pardoning" in the United States. Every year since 1947, the National Turkey Federation has presented the US President with a turkey for Thanksgiving. Every year, in a show of ceremonial magnanimity, the President spares that particular bird (and eats another one). After receiving the presidential pardon, the Chosen One is sent to Frying Pan Park in Virginia to live out its natural life. The rest of the 50 million turkeys raised for Thanksgiving are slaughtered and eaten on Thanksgiving Day. ConAgra Foods, the company that has won the Presidential Turkey contract, says it trains the lucky birds to be sociable, to interact with dignitaries, school children and the press. (Soon they'll even speak English!)

That's how New Racism in the corporate era works. A few carefully bred turkeys - the local elites of various countries, a community of wealthy immigrants, investment bankers, the occasional Colin Powell or Condoleezza Rice, some singers, some writers (like myself) - are given absolution and a pass to Frying Pan Park. The remaining millions lose their jobs, are evicted from their homes, have their water and electricity connections cut, and die of AIDS. Basically they're for the pot. But the Fortunate Fowls in Frying Pan Park are doing fine. Some of them even work for the IMF and the WTO - so who can accuse those organizations of being antiturkey? Some serve as board members on the Turkey Choosing Committee - so who can say that turkeys are against Thanksgiving? They participate in it! Who can say the poor are anti-corporate globalization? There's a stampede to get into Frying Pan Park. So what if most perish on the way?

As part of the project of New Racism we also have New Genocide. New Genocide in this new era of economic interdependence can be facilitated by economic sanctions. New Genocide means creating conditions that lead to mass death without actually going out and killing people. Denis Halliday, who was the UN humanitarian coordinator in Iraq between 1997 and 1998 (after which he resigned in disgust), used the term genocide to describe the sanctions in Iraq. In Iraq the sanctions outdid Saddam Hussein's best efforts by claiming more than half a million children's lives.

In the new era, apartheid as formal policy is antiquated and unnecessary. International instruments of trade and finance oversee a complex system of multilateral trade laws and financial agreements that keep the poor in their bantustans anyway. Its whole purpose is to institutionalize inequity. Why else would it be that the US taxes a garment made by a Bangladeshi manufacturer twenty times more than a garment made in Britain? Why else would it be that countries that grow cocoa beans, like the Ivory Coast and Ghana, are taxed out of the market if they try to turn it into chocolate? Why else would it be that countries that grow 90 percent of the world's cocoa beans produce only 5 percent of the world's chocolate? Why else would it be that rich countries that spend over a billion dollars a day on subsidies to farmers demand that poor countries like India withdraw all agricultural subsidies, including subsidized electricity? Why else would it be that after having been plundered by colonizing regimes for more than half a century, former colonies are steeped in debt to those same regimes and repay them some $382 billion a year?

I have learned that these harmful chemicals are actually causing allergies, asthma and many other problems. These people do not have a voice. They're stuck with where they live and the State says they have to have these items in their centers. We need to get them out and provide an alternative way to clean and kill bacteria. I have found a company that provides these things but the centers' hands are tied until the state says otherwise. We need to change the law. I have started a letter to the senator of my state. But is there anything else I need to provide?

I recently got a phone call from a local gun dealer where I purchased a 22 caliber rifle. They said that during a recent audit, they found that my application was missing my city of birth. I've had the gun 2 months now. They want me to come in and fill out the name of the city, however, because they were such pricks when I purchased the gun and also on their recently left voicemail, I'd rather not do them any favors. It's my belief that as the retailer, they should have been diligent enough to review the application and ensure all of the spaces were filled in, especially since their forms were poorly legible photocpies. The owner said he won't mail the form to me to complete or take the info over the phone and I'm not interested in driving to the store again, but I'd be happy to write in the missing info if he drove to my house.

What's my LEGAL obligation to drive to the store? It sounds like they're looking to inconvenience me for their lack of due diligence.

I parked on double yellow lines displaying my blue badge and clock with my time of arrival and returned to my car within the 3hr limit to a ticket. I am pretty new to the scheme and know that you cannot park where there are loading restrictons in force. The area i was parked in had one yellow blip on the kerb indicating a loading restriction at certain times but there was no white sign that i could see to advise of the times of this restriction.This area is commonly used by disabled drivers as it has easy access to my city center. The ticket advised offence code "137 no waiting" and This area is often inspected by traffic wardens as it has easy access to the city center and I have since seen these wardens not give a ticket to parked cars in EXACTLY the place where I was&displaying the badge in the same way!I still have a while before i have to pay this fine and I dont really want to argue with the wardens cause they get enough of that all day.Is this ticket correct or should i appeal?

I realize it was war. These men were doing what there leader asked, but do you think as they were throwing men, women, and children in the oven, they ever struggled with it morally? Weren't most of these men Christian?

It seems there are basic brutal truths associated with any war, men do what they must. I have always wondered though if these men's moral code was screaming at them from within all the while? Does anyone else wonder?

Extortion is a criminal offense, which occurs when a person either obtains money, property or services from another through coercion or intimidation or threatens one with physical harm unless they are paid money or property. Refraining from doing harm is sometimes euphemistically called protection. Extortion is commonly practiced by organized crime groups. The actual obtainment of money or property is not required to commit the offense. Making a threat of violence or a lawsuit which refers to a requirement of a payment of money or property to halt future violence or lawsuit is sufficient to commit the offense. The simple four words "pay up or else" are sufficient to constitute the crime of extortion. An extortionate threat made to another in jest is still extortion

Nowadays we see that the supreme court judges can be purchased or if you are an influencial person in the society or a wealthy politician, you can get the verdict as per your wish. It is practically proved in many cases. While most of the ciriminals have turned to politics to become more and more powerful and wealthy, the poor people are the sufferers. Unfortunately, the public are barred from commenting upon our judiciary or any verdict or a judge. In what way they are superior than a common man and after all they are also human beings and they are bound to commit errors. In many cases, the supreme court has stepped in and scrapped the lower court's order. Under such circumstances, what is the credibility of the Judge from the lower court and is there any punishment to him for having erred in his duty.
I would like to receive a frank opinion on this.
