how are us women offered discounts on our insurance premiums when half of the women (it is probably more than that) out there are careless and stupid when driving?

The usual suspects have their heads in the sand.

You could dredge up dozens of right wing articles that are just as scary. Everyone pull their panties out of their buttcrack and knock it off. Until anything is remotely close to becoming a policy it doesn't matter, so enough already.

I'd make driving with a cell phone in your hand a 25 to life crime. Driving in the left lane with a cell phone in hand would be grounds for the death penalty.

just like you see in NFL and NHL games.

ANYTHING can be a first, if you look hard enough.

Today I was the first white man driving a silver vehicle, while wearing a black down coat and sandles to go to a specific fred meyer at a specific address and buy exactly $110.32 worth of food - on this specific date.

Big deal.

Suppose if an Alien from outer space was born and raised on Earth and on USA soil. Will the Alien be able to run for President?

Anchorage (NBC) ― AKDiver has stubbed his toe on 2x4 in his garage! Reports indicate that the piece of wood was painted black, while AKDiver is white. Police are indicating the possibility that this beating may be a hate crime. We will continue to follow this story as it develops.

Instead, the government wants to give you a fixed 3 percent annual return... 3 percent!

So help me god, if this plan comes to pass, I will make Mcveigh look like a ###### saint.

Is it time for a revolution?I'm ready.

You're more concerned with plastic water bottles than the war on terror?

Truthfully?

YES!

Looky there - all but two democrats voted for it. As for the House - 145 democrats voted for the Patriot act.

So, please tell us again how the democrats will protect us from evils as the Patriot Act.

If you eliminate the deductions for contributions, then people simply will not contribute. What's the incentive? Might as well just take the money as take home pay and save it in some other kind of account.

Once people stop voluntarily contributing, then they will be forced to contribute. This is exactly how social security works.

Bottom line? Tax increase.

We applied in beginning of september. Interview is beginning of December.

I will be applying for my US citizenship next month and would like to setup PO BOX for my N-400 communication with USCIS. I want to keep my home mail address for my other regular mail (Bills, pay check, insurance etc). I do not want to change my mail home address with USCIS for other applications. Is that possible?

You can put any mailing address you want on any app you send them.

FWIW, I for "residence address" I always make a note: NO MAILBOX! DO NOT SEND MAIL HERE!!!

I have no mail box for my house. Any mail sent to my street address gets stamped "no mail receptacle at address" and is returned to sender.

I'm sick of politics, lets have some fun. What do you prefer. Ladies please participate too.

but where's the bang for the buck?

As Madison correctly pointed out, ''the Western States neither would nor ought to submit to a union which degraded them from an equal rank with the other States.'' Since the admission of Tennessee in 1796, Congress has included in each State's act of admission a clause providing that the State enters the Union ''on an equal footing with the original States in all respects whatever.''

The thing that the anti-EC people don't seem to get is the States, are in and of themselves a sovereign legal entity, regardless of their population. The U.S. is NOT just "one big nation" - it is nation composed of (currently) 50 states, and each of those states exists and has a voice, independent of the people who live there.

As SCOTUS ruled in 1911, 'This Union' was and is a union of States, equal in power, dignity and authority, each competent to exert that residuum of sovereignty not delegated to the United States by the Constitution itself.

My main question regarding EC vs PC is this: Why should Wyoming vote count for so much considering that it, as a population, does not contribute as much to the whole US of A?

The very last words I want to hear out of any politician's mouth are about his religion - whatever it may be.

...history would be wrong.

I can tell you this right now. If the government confiscates my private retirement accounts and gives them to the social security agency to "manage", I WILL become a "terrorist."

By the way - Mox gets it.

We're not just talking about the voice of "the people". We're talking about the voice of each individual State as a sovereign entity, equal to all of the other States.

For one you kind of have to assume that everyone who would sign up to this kind of arbitrary marriage contract is in their own right mind at the time and their inalienable rights (such as human rights are defined by the constitution and bill of rights) wouldn't be infringed by an unscrupulous partner or an incompetent lawyer.

If you were able to sign your rights away at the outset of marriage...

What you're suggesting....

You don't need to throw the rule book out of the window simply because one group of minorities is seeking a slight rule change to protect their interests.

Would you want to pay for all that red tape?

akdiver voted AIP.

Besides yourself and maybe one other Republican (you voted for them so you are one ),

there has largely been piss poor arguments made against Obama's candidacy, embroiled in the most sensationalist, irrelevant and unsubstantiated garbage devoid of logic and the issues at hand. A few names of those with such horrible arguments include VW, metta, some dude with a chick in his avatar who's been on a tirade against Obama of late, Tamarasomething (just remember a camel), Gary, charles (really never made any argument, just was a fanboy), kaydee, zqt, LuckyStrike.. just to name a few.
