This is what I think...
and said : He should have done things legally. That job should have been given to a citizen or imagrant worker working with the proper paper work. After 11 years, I am sure he knew he was doing wrong especially with the recent controversy. He should be fined, have to pay the taxes, and the buisness he worked for should be investigated. He should have learned English too.

tell them they would have to put in a kennal in your town
and said : My son is allergic to dogs and many other animals. So I would not be able to have him or the dog in my house. Even the dander on his clothes after visiting the dog could cause a reaction. We just pray he grows out of it, but now it seems unlikely. We do like animals, but for now we have to keep them at a distance.

(United States)

Mike answered
No
and said : The South lost the war, and therefore the flag should not be on top of the government buildings. It should not be banned from the property because it is part of history. Now, if it is incorporated into the state flag then it is a different flag. After the war, the flag was not flown over the SC State House til one of the anniversaries of the war. Now it is not on top of the State House, but it is still causing controversy for the state. It is sad that the Confederate flag and the Christian flag are used by racist groups. Not all people who have a Confederate flag are racist. They may be "rebels" and/or Dukes of Hazzard fans. The Civil War was over state's rights. One right they were seeking was the right to own slaves. I do not condone slavery, especially with the mistreatment that occured. But people seem to forget that other races were slaves, too... or maybe people simply weren't educated about that part of it. It is a sad part of United States history.

Undecided
and said : To many unanswered questions. Where were the guardians? How did she get the alcohol? Did she have permission to drive the car? Did the guardians think she was the most sober to get her sister? Was she told to do this by her guardians? Were was the ball dropped for this child to be in this situation? There are many other questions to be asked. Maybe she was under someone elses suppervision, who her guardians thought they could trust. I say guardians because I don't know her family situation.

Mike answered
No
and said : People need to take responsibility for their own safty. The government should not have to tell you that it is unsafe and therefore unlawfull to text while driving. If so they need to add reading a book, talking (while holding the phone to your head), and all the other little distracting things people do while driving. For the sake of punnishing those who put themselves and others at risk by intentionally doing distracting things, maybe they can pass a law that covers them all. DUI, covers alcohol and drugs maybe the phone could be the influence. DWD for driving while distracted. It would save time to have one law instead of individual laws.

Mike answered
F 150
and said : F150 is what I would choose. The Ram may sound tough especially with its Hemi, but when I had one I was dissapointed in the girth of the frame and controller arms. I believe they are still the same. Kind of wimpy. I also had a new 2007 Caravan which was suppose to get 19 MPG in the city and 26 MPG Highway. It was not suppose to get less than 16 MPG in the city. We did mostly interstate driving and only got 10-16 MPG. The Dodge repair shop confirmed it was getting poor gas milage. They would not fix it or make the situation right. Even at a corprate level. Lemon laws do not help because getting a lawyer to take the case is impossible, at least in my case. I.E. get it from someone who stands behind thier product.

Mike answered
Yes
and said : Just because there is a B.E.T. does not mean it is right to have a W.E.T., H.E.T., or any other race spacific channel. I believe it would seperate the races more. It is the seperate channels, radio stations, and benifits specified for particular races that keep racism going. The actors should not want to be grouped into catagories by ethnicity. There are great actors and directors in all ethnicities. It all depends on why you think there should be one.
