Do You Think Bag Searching Violates Your Rights?
by minimus inin view of the transit bombings, do you feel that police should be able to search you or your bags at anytime?

Our Constitution only applies to the United States and as of yet, at least to my knowledge, unless they have permission from us, probable cause or a warrant, the police cannot just search anything of ours! The places presently searching items, i.e. theme parks, government buildings, etc. all have notices and reasons for the searches, so if you don't like it....don't go there!
The searches of backpacks/knapsacks in London, I can understand....as these are the items used to carry the last 8 bombs.....4 on 7/7 that caused a great deal of damage and 4 on 7/21 that, thank god, were duds.
CNN has just anounced the arrest of one of the 4 suspects they were looking for after yesterdays attack, at or very near the same place where the suspect was shot this morning!

Am I a Sucker?
by El Kabong inthe other day, my wife ran into a girl who she used to babysit for and is now 19 years old.
i remember when this girl used to come to our house, she was always such a little sweetheart.
she always kind of reminded me of a little doll, just tossed in the corner and forgotten.

What ellie and U/D said....I'd just add, lock your bedroom doors when you're out of the house. I don't know what's wrong with some of these parents....they kick their kids out at 18 because the law says they're adults, but they don't bother preparing them for the real world!

Touche' stillajwexelder.....I'm watching the mother of one of last weeks suicide bombers in tears, explaining that she was not aware of what her son was doing and that she was praying for all of the victims.
If we start stereotyping nationalities, races and religions.....and making them pay for crimes committed by persons of the same nationality, race or religion....then all we've done is let the terrorsits win by disrupting our lives and proving we are just as bad as they are!

I thought dubs were discouraged in use of the internet? Shouldn't these persons be spending more time in Field Service, after all the end is near, time is getting short, we see daily signs of the time of the end of this system of things drawing near!
Oops! So sorry I was having a brain burp and a flashback!

My New Religion...
by undercover ini posted this on another thread...but i think it needs its own thread so we can all add our own ideas on how to make this work.... .
ya know, i'm gonna start an internet religion.
i'm gonna claim to be god's one true messenger and since the world is going online, the lord has revealed to me that the truth can be found only on my website.

I've got to agree with everything damselfy and legolas said! Definately with the avoidance of certain foods! I called my aura....nodes! I would have the vision problems and then two tender spots at the back and base of my skull. If I took something for it and went to a dark/cool room I could avoid the "on your knees, crawl to the loo nausea" I was prone to. I ended up with a script for phorinal w/codeine as demerol made me sicker! They finally stopped when I had my son. A Gyno visit is the best thing you can do at this point!
