I feel their is no democracy in the United States as the super rich from around the world run our country as well as other countries, I read a book along time ago it was called None Dare Call It Conspiracy. it was banned from the book stores and librarys here in the united states. Our politicians are bought and paid for and they do the bidding of the mega rich.
How do you feel about that.?

If a person's sentence of say 90 days jail time is imposed and stayed by a judge and they are put on probation until their hearing (review) in 6 months, and they have been a model citizen, (before and after) will they still have to do the time? and their probation is only 12 months, kept their nose clean and they paid restitution?

I didn't get pulled into that because I saw it for the BS that it is and was. However, They should be serverely punished in my opinion, Life in Prisonment or Death (including punishment for their spouses and children!)

Just wondering if anyone (PA resident) knows how to obtain a gun permit...I am going to police academy in a few months and would like to become more familiar with a handgun at a firing range. Academies in PA do not get recruits gun permits, so I mind as well do it myself. I think maybe the Sheriff's office in my county, but not posotive. Any help would be great!

Do you think there should be federal funding for stem cell research? Do you think stem cell research can help save lives? Do you think stem cell research kills unborn lives? AND WHY??

Lets say that someone is sentence to life in prison. Years into the sentence, he gets a heart attack and a doctor "pronounces" him dead, only to find out he is still alive. Can a defense attorney challenge that his client has served his life in prison since he was pronounced dead? Or is this already covered in the books?

NEW YORK -- A suspect in the mugging last month of a 101-year-old woman with a walker was arrested on Friday on drug charges, said Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly.

Jack Rhodes, 44, had been wanted for questioning in the vicious attack, captured on a surveillance tape, and another robbery of an 85-year-old woman.The video of the March 4 attack on 101-year-old Rose Morat shows her trying to leave her building to go to church.

The mugger, who looms over the senior citizen and is holding onto a bicycle, pretends to help her get through the vestibule. Then he turns to grab Morat's head and delivers three hard punches to her face, and swipes her purse. The dazed victim tries to reach for her purse when the mugger hits her again, pushing her to the ground.

He got away with $33 and Morat's house keys. She suffered a fractured cheekbone and spent time in the hospital.

My question is, why can't we use the word ni_ger to discribe this piece of walking sh_t?

There are far too many children that are born into poverty. Single mothers are not getting enough help. Children born into poverty are likely to remain in poverty, be poorly educated and are more likely to get involved in crime.

So what would be so terrible with state supported birth control?

So what would be so bad with the state making it a requirement that both parents would agree to support and raise a child before it is born? Or what about passing a basic qualifying test before a person is allowed to have children? What would be the harm to society?

I'm going to be living in a studio apartment by myself either way, but I'm just wondering what the laws are, and what the minimum age is to live by yourself- if there is one.

Please don't start ranting about safety issues and pedophiles, etc- I'm more in danger in my home than I'd be in an apartment.

The apartment will be in my dad's name and meant to be for him- obviously the owners can't find out there's a 14 year old living by herself. Please help if you can.

Thanks.

Helmets Right for you

“Children should always wear a helmet while riding their bikes.”
This common statement points to the fact that safety should be the number one concern in everything we do. Safety should never be an after thought. Teaching children the essential lessons when they are young is a safe investment in their futures. It should be obligatory to wear bicycle helmets, considering the amount of head injuries, sometimes fatal injuries in cases where helmets were not worn. The cost of long term care for head injuries is very high and could be prevented if helmets were mandatory.

By insuring that children wear helmets, we teach them that safety measures are being put into place for their own advantage. Just as wearing a seat belt in a car is mandatory; wearing a helmet while riding a bicycle should also be consistently mandated.

Choosing the use of helmets while riding a bicycle is a risk not worth taking. The danger to the child is not the only concern. In the case of a car- bicycle crash, there is the problem of insurance payouts and the like which will most probably be the driver’s responsibilities. If the one riding the bicycle had been wearing a helmet, the costs all around could be kept down, not to mention the reduction in losses.

Many children come from homes with very limited income. Although these families may be able to afford a bicycle, they are unable to provide a helmet for their child/children to wear. Mandatory helmet requirements also prompt organizations to help fund the purchasing of helmets for those who could otherwise not afford them.

In conclusion wearing a helmet is very important while riding a bike. It reduces the amount of head injuries, reduction in losses and lastly, mandatory helmets also prompt organization to help others purchase helmets of those who can not afford them. Wear a helmet, it will keep you going!

From the vote rigging in the american elections, 9/11 and the perfect demolition job, The "WMD's" that iraq was suppose to have but did'nt, illegally invading iraq to saddam hussain's non existent "Links" with Al-qaida.

All these are obvious to everyone that the people were lied to and illegal acts undertaken.

"Investigations" seems to come and go and governemnts refuse to give clear and accurate FACTS when this is asked of them.
Why then is there never a Real legal proceeding as would be with anyone else who breaks the law to get to the truth and Make the guilty pay for their deceite, illegal behaviour and lies???

And before anyone tries to make out I am A conspiracy theorist I ask you to spend some time doing some study on the above examples I Have given, And then answer my question..
