I need to get a character reference from someone who has known me over the last two years. Ive been out of work due to illness for the last 2 and half years so I can't get one from an employer. Can I get a character reference from my doctor who I saw weekly?

Taking away individuals' right to own guns is against the Second Amendment and most likely will not solve our high crime rate problems. Do you agree or disagree. Explain in detail and I will choose your answer.

I miss cracker night (hand held fireworks now banned). I miss speeding along a country highway (strict speed limits). There are always 'good' reasons for taking away these things - but is anybody going to legislate to return the feeling of freedom and self responsiblity and exhileration of living that these things once gave.. What do others think? No moralistic lectures please.

I read these articles this morning and they left me wondering why sex offenders even have rights to the internet and social networking sites.
What do you think?

Lately the President has been refusing to sign any bills that have any removal schedule for our troops. These bills passed through the House and Congress every time. These bills are not the only ones to be subjected to outright refusal - regardless of what we as a people feel. The President has also moved troops into Iran, and has hired and spent exorbitant amounts of money on a private sector company of mercenaries called Blackwater. Do you feel as though you still have power as an individual in this democracy?

maybe we have freedom to talk trash about the government, but i think that is it.... you can get sued for saying things, you can loose your job for saying things, and you can definatly get the crap beat out of you for saying things.....

i just found out there are illegal questions in job interviews, such as, "how old are you" or "are you a u.s. citizeen"

wtf man, we can´t even ask some basic questions, can´t express our opionons, we don´t have freedom of speech anymore.

what can we do about it?

This is not just a rant, I am deeply concernced by the lack of effectiveness of the UK police force I will explain why.

There have recently been a number of stupid arrests like the man found in possesion of an egg "with intent to throw" the person arrested for criminal damage for drawing on the pavement in chalk. This however is just the tip of the iceberg recently a colleague of mine was robbed he reported the incident then rang the police force a week later to ask if any progress had been made, he was informed that it would be two weeks before the matter is looked into. Next there are the people that were imprisoned for using imperial measurements to sell from their market stalls, they have been pardoned now, but why did I never see any lawsuits against big companys using imperial measurements to sell televisions and other products? It was also reported last year that they were not tracking drug dealers because they had met their arrest target in that feild.

Whats happening?

i moved into my rented house in decemeber.
it seems that the people who lived here before have got themselves into alot of debt, i have debt collectors ringing nearly 3 times a day.
reminders coming through the door everyday.
and a hotel invoice from march and april, they had given this address as though they still lived here!
ive told my landlord and he said it will be sorted but nothing has changed.
ive just received a card through the door saying someone will be calling today, im guessing form a debt collectors so i phoned the number and explained, they were fine and no-one is coming. but my question is, because all of these debts are under this address can people be sent here to take away things from my house?
alot of the debt collectors ive spoken to on the phone dont seem to believe that im not this person, its highly infuriating as i try my best to not get myself in to owing so much money, i dont want to be seen like that. any suggestions as to what i can do?
