for the states where it is now illegal to talk on cell phones in cars, is it also illegal to talk on car phones while driving (yeah, car phones died out in the mid 90's, but there may still be some cars with them)?

and what about text messaging and stuff?

i was an AandF empolyee a full timer who asked to be gaven less houres couse of school. Everything was going good until I asked to move to a store closer to home to save on gas and time. Texas is the state. HR has no clue what gose on until you call but then you get vice maill. The reason for sueing is to get my house back and teach them that the should hear thier employees cryes about the type of managers the have wroken for thier company. One would think that after the just got sued for not hiren all kindes of people the would want to help someone that feel his manager is bias.

My girlfriend and her ex ended their relationship shortly after finding out she was pregnant four years ago. He was physically abusive to her and she has police reports to prove that.

Throughout the years I would help with taking the baby to the sheriffs station where he would pick her up to have her for a few hours. Her father one time was placed on a 5150 because he began to stab himself in the arm in a parking lot "BRAW DAY LIGHT. "

After that incident my girlfriend filed for child support and supevisd visitations. He has missed several of the visitations and owes money to the visitation agency where going through. He is behind a few thousand dollars of child support and he continues to break the stipulations from court.

He goes to my girlfrineds house expecting to see the child when he wants to. He recently served my girlfriend with papers for court this month. The child is really suffering disappointments at this time and I wish he would just leave her alone compeltely.

I'm sure every one on here has heard that the money WE'VE paid into social security will be going to the illegal immigrants. Isn't it enough that the taxes WE pay are all ready going to them now for welfare? My 63 year old mother can't even get medicare, yet the money she has been paying all her life is going to people who haven't paid a cent to our country. Maybe we should stop paying taxes & we'll be rewarded. I've been hearing for years that their won't be any social security when I retire, now I know the rumors are true. My husband has more money deducted from his check every week than some people in this country make in a month. I am so tired of supporting the lazy people in this country. The only people in this country who should be able to receive government help are the elderly, who have worked all their lives & the people who are unable to work. We need to shut not only the borders but also the free-ride lines. If this offends you, oh well.

I read somewhere that if someone committed what would be typically a felony and this was their first time being convicted of a crime, the felony will be automatically considered as a misdemeanor (this is without it being dropped into a misdemeanor by pleas, etc.). I was just wondering whether this is true.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.), citing concerns about Americans' privacy, signaled yesterday that he will push to repeal a provision of a 2005 law aimed at creating new government standards for driver's licenses.

Leahy, who has co-sponsored bipartisan legislation to repeal the provision, spoke out as the debate intensified over the Real ID Act, which requires states to create new tamper-proof driver's licenses in line with rules recently issued by the Department of Homeland Security. States must begin to comply by May 2008 but can request more time. After 2013, people whose IDs do not meet those standards will not be allowed to board planes or enter federal buildings.

I have a schedule. I have to show up to work on time, or they might think I'm a flake.

The bus does not show up on the scheduled time at my stop consistantly. This makes me 20 minutes late (the next one is 20 min. later). If I get fired because I'm late often, can the bus company be held accountable?

Neither side is gunna give an inch. but the dumbest thing is its about unwanted pregnacies not abortion. No one will say killing a child is right. If both groups put half thier protesting effort into adressing the actual issue abortions would be gone.

Now we have endless protests and we pick the leader of US based on just this one opinion. Which is even dummer cause this will be decided in court reguardless of what the president does. Even by picking judges,that need to be aproved.

And no matter what the law is, people will still have abortions. That is why it was legalized in the first place due to the damage done to women doing it outside of the law.

Dumb people.. they are everywere....

I don't have a link, but I saw a story about a man in delaware that got fired because he was a smoker- and not because he was smoking at work, but because a pee test came back positive for nicotine. Do you think this is fair? The reasoning was that smokers cost more to provide health insurance to. What about just not offering smokers health insurance?

I know smokers choose to do it, but hell- most pregnant people chose to get pregnant, and they cost more to insure.. is it fair to fire every pregnant woman?

She also got in his face and repeatedly stated "What color am I"!!!! Finally making my son cry he replied "black". When I went to talk to the teacher she said kids think they can get away with stuff because they are "white."I asked her what does race have to do with a academic atmosphere? To her embarrasment she got very defensive to find out my husband is "black"and he has two mixed sisters,she then started telling me how she is sick of my son acting like a girl in his class and telling every one he is gay. Is this racial and sexual orientation discrimination?

Here are a few examples:

*Mexican consuls denounce any U.S. law enforcement effort against illegal immigration as biased and inhumane. In one instance after a family was deported back to Mexico, San Diego Consul General Rudolfo Figueroa said, “We feel outraged over the way [the arrest] was handled. This was an act of bad faith.”

*After a police chief in Boston charged a Mexican illegal for criminal trespass—for being in a place without legal authority, Mexican officials went berserk and the Mexican government paid for the defendants’ legal representation. Boston consul general Porfirio Thierry Muñoz Ledo declared the trial “legally invalid, discriminatory and a violation of human rights.”

*In July, the Mexican consul general in New York City, Arturo Sarukhan, lambasted Suffolk County, Long Island, officials for evicting over a hundred illegal aliens whose dangerously overcrowded housing violated fire and safety codes.
