Outlaw 1-3

Another user calls someone else the "N" word, and their answer is still up 26 minutes later even after being reported?

Can you seriously name ONE of YOUR rights that has been taken away? Name ONE thing YOU cannot do today as a result of the Patriot Act.

I am not talking about someone you saw a news story on, or a friend of a friend of a friend. YOU. No one else.

I'm really curious because there is not one thing I could do pre-9/11 that I cannot do today.

I mean, he is not even the nation's first black president. That honor belongs to William Jefferson Clinton, right?

I have two Thrift Savings Accounts - the very plan that President Bush proposed letting private citizens have access to. My retirement savings has grown by over 80% over the course of the last two years, and that is money that will be there when I retire. The government cannont touch it - ever.

If this plan is good enough for the President, members of Congress and every Federal employee, why shouldn't every American have access to it?

Yet users can call the President an idiot and a moron all day long and it is supposedly a "valid question with merit?"

(Please, none of the normal anti-Bush rhetoric ... I am seeking serious answers.)

You know the store employees who ask to see your receipt as you leave a store? What law says you have to show them your receipt? You have passed the last point of sale and paid for the items ... they - as well as the receipt - are now your legal property and not subject to an unwarranted search. What is to stop someone from just saying, "Bug off!" and keep walking?

I ask this because many of the receipt checkers are grumpy and downright rude, and I am getting a little tired of it.

If you have never read the Patriot Act and oppose it, please be so kind as to tell why with a little synopsis of what you believe the Patriot Act says.

Is it just me? I have recently received some violation notices for some stuff I didn't know was against the rules (which, Yahoo! team WILL NOT happen again :-), and I don't know if I am not being awarded credit (trying to avoid the "p" word) for voting for a Best Answer or rating a Best Answer as a punishment or if it is a glitch in the system.

I still seem to collect credit for answering a question or choosing a Best Answer for one of my questions, just not voting or rating.

Am I on some sort of double secret probation??

Thanks!

I posted a question earlier with some links to questions I had answered that ended in a tie. Because I had mentioned something about getting points for voting in the unresolved questions, about half of the respondants were talking about "points gaming". What exactly is points gaming? If it is a violation, why is it not mentioned in the Community Guidelines?

I did not mention which answers were mine at all. In fact, I could care less if my answers were chosen. It was merely an attempt to resolve old questions.

I have since removed the question when I saw the firestorm being raised over it, but I am still not sure what was wrong with it. In fact, I see questions like that on almost a daily basis.

Thanks for any help and/or clarification.

Doesn't LT Kavanaugh's ex-wife have just the sweetest little a$$ you've ever seen on TV???

And what are the requirements for a business name? Does it need to be unique within the county, within the state or within the country? I am in Michigan, by the way ...

It actually checks your abysmal spelling and corrects it BEFORE you post your answer ...

And what's up with questions costing 5 points now??? And only getting 3 back for choosing a Best Answer???

Post an HONEST answer of how many you voted on. The highest number of questions voted on the quickest get the 10 points.

He is one of only two presidents to have been impeached - the other being Andrew Johnson.

As I grew up in Texas, all carbonated drinks were called Cokes.

"I'll take a Coke."

"What kind of Coke would you like?"

"Make it a Mountain Dew."
