. It’s about this guy killing young women in their homes,
in the dead of the night, innocent and random. He breaks into their house, and kills them with a gun, after suffering from abusive parents. At age 5 he saw his mother kill his father with his father’s shotgun. Then his mother took him to live in Mississauga. At age 8, his mother dies after a drug binge. The boy is sent to live with a foster family. At age 14, boy kills foster family. He then runs away from home, never to be seen again, until later when he returns to kill.

Do U agree with Rep. Luis Gutierrez D-Ill The vast majority of undocumented immigrants don’t violate any laws other other than their Immigration status,” ? I must ask how would as Rep. Luis Gutierrez D-Ill The vast majority of undocumented immigrants don’t violate any laws other other than their Immigration status,”obtain work without using fake or stolen documents are these still against the law in Rep. Luis Gutierrez D-Ill mind ? Then there is the issue of driver’s license and insurance and taxes, is not having either against the law as well ? Take a look.The nondescript 737 jet taxied to the front of the runway line at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport.

Aboard the flight, 53 passengers stared out windows as their rising plane banked toward Mexico and their handcuffs glinted in the morning sun.

This is U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Flight Repatriate, a booming airline ferrying illegal immigrants out of the country.

Flying worldwide from O’Hare and 22 other airports, the so-called ICE Air planes transported more than 367,000 illegal immigrants, including 11,500 from the Chicago area, out of the U.S. from October 2007 to October 2008—a 26 percent increase over the previous fiscal year and 77 percent more than in 2006. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano recently called for ways to “expedite removal” of thousands more illegal immigrants. The directive surprised advocates who have been lobbying for fewer deportations while they build momentum to reintroduce Immigration reform legislation in Congress by July.

“That was a signal to me that we need to work quicker and speak more effectively to the Obama camp,” said Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.), who is organizing Immigration rallies in 14 cities.

“The vast majority of undocumented immigrants don’t violate any law, other than their Immigration status,” Gutierrez argued.

On board Flight Repatriate during a recent trip to the border near El Paso, Texas, the passengers embodied the dashed dreams of deported immigrants everywhere.

Some fretted over U.S.-born children. Others stewed over U.S. residency applications filed years ago. On a flight where many passengers were convicted of other U.S. crimes, still more grappled with alcoholism and other demons that make them poster targets for arrest.

“I shouted to the police: ‘Then, kill me! Kill me!’ ” Moises Rivera, 35, boasted about the January night he guzzled eight shots of whiskey and fell asleep in his car at a Little Village traffic light. In jail, he sobered up to realize he was heading back to Mexico.

Near him sat Felipe Rodriguez, who was pulled over for speeding. The sunken-eyed restaurant busboy was arrested after showing an Illinois state trooper a fake driver’s license.

“I don’t smoke; I don’t drink,” said Rodriguez, 55, describing himself as a bookworm. “My whole family is in Chicago and Indiana, where we were happy.”

My comm3 class requires us to do a public speech about some topic. I thought about parents who are addicted to facebook or playing games on that site. I need links to articles, informative videos, news,preferably not blogs and and conversations. Though blogs a re appreciated if they are personal experiences written in a decent manner. thanks. I need this immediately

Alcohol is very destructive. This video was made for my “Power and Persuasion” media studies assignment. As you can probably tell, the video is a persuasive message against alcohol. I’ve also uploaded my persuasive message FOR alcohol to this account. Does it persuade you ? Thanks to Mitchell Cowling for being the other half of this production.

My dad got 3 dui’s years ago. He was a habitual offender. More than 10 years have passed. He got his 4th DUI about a week ago.

He seems to think that the court is going to charge him with a first offense. I think they are going to charge him like it’s his 4th DUI.

What will likely happen? Also, he wants to get a court-appointed lawyer. He thinks, instead of paying a lawyer, he will use that money to pay for VASAP and court fees. I think he should get a lawyer, it might reduce what he owes.

What is the best course of action?

Also, how much jail time is he looking at?
Anyone other than the first poster have a real reply?

For one, I agree that my dad is needs to be punished. He is a perpetual disappointment.

Second, how am I enabling him? Can you read?

My question is, in the state of VA, will he be charged as a first offense, or 4th?

Simple, no telling me how stupid my dad is, the world knows that already.

My 46 yr. old alcoholic brother has been in and out of 3 rehabs now, several detox places, etc. It seems that as soon as he gets his head on relatively straight, makes goals for himself (good ones like finding a job to support himself and his daughter who lives far away in another country, etc etc etc) that he relapses within a few short hours/days after completing programs.

All of our family have tried to help him out by giving him food and shelter, SUPPORT, etc. for MANY years. I was pretty much THE ONLY ONE LEFT (with my husband and son)that would continue to take him in. The pros call me his ENABLER!!

Recently our 75 yr. old dad (ashamed to even call him his son) was diagnosed with cancer. He agreed to see him, then offered him a place to stay after the 60 day rehab–gave him $$, job offers. Soon as we got dad checked into the hosp., bro went on a 1 week binge, but finally call AA for help. They keep telling us we need to separate the emotions from his DISEASE. HOW???

My father in law just stopped drinking after, starting in his teens and just stopping at the age of 50. Its my understanding that this might lessens someones maturity, does anyone have data to show this?

I’m 7.5 weeks pregnant. Although the father says he is extremely happy about the baby and that this is a reason for him to finally step up and “be a man”, I see no changes in him since finding out two weeks ago. He TALKS about all that he is going to do, but at the end of every day, there he is, leaving work early to go home and drink and smoke pot. I come home after working a full day to a messy house and a drunk boyfriend. I can’t raise my child with this. I want to know we’re going to be able to provide this child with a stable home life with no substances of any kind. I had to make changes instantly when I got pregnant, why can’t he man up and make some changes now instead of talking and talking about it. I have thoughts of suicide now because I can’t take all that he’s putting me through, but abortion isn’t an option either. It doesn’t help that he’s cheated on me in the past and he’s a flirt and doesn’t understand how much I hate my looks right now and he’s not making it better.
thanks to all for your answers, but I want to emphasize, I really do love him. I am feeling drawn to what “Heather” responded with. I honestly believe it’s the alcohol controlling him. We’ve talked about meetings in the past but he’s always wanted to tackle this on his own, without the typical program. Ordinarily I’d give him as much time as he needed but now with the baby coming, I don’t have that luxury. He’s not a dead beat, he’s been talking non stop about all the plans for the baby… it’s just the drinking that is scaring the hell out of me.

So i am newly Pregnant and happy, however my boyfriend is a major problem. I will NOT have an abortion that is Just not right. I have 2 girls already. My boyfriend recently started using Heroin again and has now been arrested. I have told him when he gets out to get his stuff and move out. I will not deal with the stress. He is a great guy but the drug problem I wont have. He has a 13 yr old son who’s life he has jacked up, am I wrong for making him leave, and choosing to be pregnant alone? I mean I feel its better for the baby I can’t have my baby around a junkie thoughts? Im prepared for the idiotic comments that will come!!!! PLEASE DONT TELL ME I SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT BEFORE I OPENED MY LEGS THAT IS SO LAME….THE DAMAGE IS DONE OK

My friend did cocaine in the pew once. He put his head down to sniff it. The father looked at him weird after he picked his head back up.

This whole thing got blown way the f*ck out of proportion. I’m 18, a high school graduate, and i admit i party a little like any teenager. But i almost never get drunk, and my parents rule is, if i get caught by the cops that’s my a**.
I was hanging with my friend who’s 20, and she comes from a bad home, and her and her 17 year old cousin were going to get a hotel for the night that she and her boyfriend paid for. We all went there and hung out. Then another one of her friends came and brought some beer and vodka. I drank some but i was no more then buzzing. We were just laughing having a good time. As a joke, me and her cousin snorted powdered coffee creamer like it was cocaine for a laugh cause it smelled good. But when we left the apartment. She was getting concerned about us for some reason. So she called his dad, and all she said was we were snorting something and something about a cannaster. He and i went to his house (which is her house) thinking we were just gonna hang and drink more their cause his dad doesn’t give a sh*t. But he came home drunk with his girlfriend saying he’s mad at him that he did whippets. He and i hung outside, and his girlfriend came out totally sober. I explained everything, and she totally understood it at that point and saw nothing wrong. But when i tried to explain to his dad, he just said “I should kick you f*cking ass!” then he shoved my friends cousin saying he should f*ck him up saying, “you guys are f*cking snorting sh*t, doing that sh*t!” i ran out of the house, and i told him to erase my number and to not give my name.
i explained this to my mom, cause she knows i drink, i smoke pot for 5 medicinal purposes, and she says i did nothing wrong. but im worried his dad might find my number, call the cops, and i might get framed under the impression i got him to snort cocaine, and we were drinking. and i just got a job at subway, and dont want to lose my job over some bullsh*t thing that never happened. and im pissed that my friend (the girl) told his dad cause i got dragged into it. what should i do cause im heated, and ready for the cops to show up and f*cking tell them his drunk ass verbally assulted me. but i dont want to lose my friendship with her cause she didn’t mean for me to get dragged into it. please help.

My friends dad died a few weeks ago. She would like for me to become her legal guardian. She is 16 and I am 19. I am all for the idea because she is a great kid with a good head on her shoulders despite being through a lot in her life. She has been staying with me for the past few days because she says she was told to leave her grandmas house. She has a younger brother age 9 who her aunt has taken guardianship of but who cruelly refuses to take her. Her grandma who she was staying with immediatley after her dads death has a meth problem, as does her uncle who lives at her grandmas house. Her biological mom was not around growing up, also has a documented meth problem, and lives about 25 minutes away. As you can see it is best that she stay with me. The only thing I need to know is since her dad died and he had custody of her, if he had no will, does her mother automatically have custody of her now, or is no one responsible for her as of now since there were no known arrangments????
P.S. I am a girl not a boy (see the avatar hehe cute girl) and we live in California if it makes a diff.

Hi, I get benefits to go to school right now because my father was in the military. However, that goes away when I turn 23. I am now 21 and I have two years left. I am unemployed just going to focus on school. My problem is when I transfer over to a 4 year its going to be really expensive. I want to get a Bachelor’s in Accounting. Which will take 4 more years. I don’t want to work and go to school because I have a hard time staying on track. What would be the best course to major in that I can get an okay paying job with an AA degree? Please advice.

The commercial when the Dad takes pictures everywhere he goes and then his daughter runs up to him at the end and his has aa monkey teddy bear in his hand what song is playing in background?

Let’s face it. I was a lousy parent. Step parent to be exact. When my wife and I got married, she had a daughter that was 5 years old. I tried to be a parent, but I guess the connection was never there. Her real Father was not in her life and I think she resented him over it. I wasn’t much better. I spent a better part of her child hood hooked on meth and binge drinking. I always managed to hold down a job and support my family. But I was young and not prepared to be a parent. I never had any children of my own.

My step daughter gave birth to a baby boy 5 years ago. The moment I held him he became mine. I have never been able to separate myself from him. Thankfully my daughter lives just 2 streets over so I get to see him all I want. Yet, when I am apart from him I get really depressed. I think now I know what it is like to be a parent because I have now been around a child since it was born. His Father is not in his life so I am the next closest thing. I can not begin to tell you how much this child has changed my life. People tell me I am not the same person anymore. I have done a radical change for the better.

Is it possible to become so attached to a child that you can become terribly depressed to be apart from them? Is it possible to be so attached to a child that they change your life forever?

So, my dad thinks I’m too skinny nowadays. BTW im not anorexic or binge eat. I usually eat more than I have too! I just have a VERY high metabolism. But anyways, I was really,really, sick before and I lost about 10 pounds! Its very hard for me to gain weight and my dad drops this on me!:
When guys hug girls, they like to have soft skin to touch and are plump and stuff. I found this pretty logical, right? So guys, when you hug a girl, do you like it like this?
ALSO: i love my dad. He;s not all weird about my weight or anything. This came up in a convo

Convicted felons, child molesters ,alcoholics, drug addicts, and racist.
Sean Hannity, Glen Beck, Bill O’Rielly, Oliver North, and in Oct Imus. Why does Fox News hire off the bottom of the barrel?

My parents are mad because my divorce isn’t going the way they want it to. Now they are trying to prove me an unfit mother. I have no police record no record with children services,and don’t abuse my kids. My parents are a different story; Dad has several DUI’s and was charged with rape, my mom is a violent person and has been charged with assault twice. What is my best course of action?
