Open Question: Where can you buy a "Whizzinator" in Indiana, on the boarder of Illinois?

Hi all... Long story short, they can't ship their product to Illinois because, I don't know, something like "Fake Urine is illegal in Illinois" or something like that so a friend of mine has to go to Indiana to pick one up. Is there a store on the boarder of Illinois and Indiana, the closer to the lake the better, that sells them? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whizzinator The Original Whizzinator is a product intended to fraudulently defeat drug tests. The Whizzinator comes as a kit complete with dried urine and syringe, heater packs (to keep the urine at body temperature), a false penis (available in several skin tones including white, tan, latino, brown, and black) and instruction manual. The company also offered a female version of the Whizzinator, called "Number One." Though there is no information on exactly how this product differs from the 'disposable unisex' product also on the market. It was manufactured by Puck Technology of Signal Hill, California; a suburb of Los Angeles. more

Open Question: Why is Puerto Rico issuing new birth certificates?

Source: http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2010/03/nj_residents_born_in_puerto_ri.html N.J. residents born in Puerto Rico are required to get new birth certificates to curb forgeries ELIZABETH -- At El Palmar, a restaurant where Puerto Rican maps dot the wall and the sopa de pollo arrives as a steamy orange broth with potatoes and noodles, the chatter last week turned to a little-known issue that is nonetheless important to all native Puerto Ricans, regardless of age. Birth certificates. It turns out that in December, the Puerto Rican government passed an unusual law that will invalidate, as of July 1, all birth certificates in existence for people born in Puerto Rico. The goal was to prevent fraud and identity theft. But neither the law nor the reasons behind it were well-publicized, and many Puerto Ricans learned only last week, from news accounts, that they will have to apply for valid birth certificates. "I’m going to try to do it as soon as possible," Wilfredo Rodriguez, 63, of Elizabeth, said Wednesday between spoonfuls of chicken soup. "I’m retired, so I need it for medical issues ... But I don’t see the real need for it (the change)." The reason for the change, according to the Puerto Rican Federal Affairs Administration, is rampant fraud involving stolen Puerto Rican birth certificates. The new ones being issued will use technology designed to prevent forgery, the government says. Puerto Rican birth certificates have been involved in 40 percent of the 8,000 cases of passport fraud investigated by the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security, according to a copy of the law passed by the Puerto Rican Senate. Stolen birth certificates, sold on the black market for up to $10,000, have been used to illegally obtain passports and other government documents, according to the government. The requirement for an entire population to purchase identification at the same time has struck many people as a bureaucratic nightmare waiting to happen. Do you think its because of illegals using their birth certificates to obtain false documents? After all wouldn't the illegal aliens need to use Spanish names with U.S. citizenship to get false documents in the first place? I think it would be rather odd to see an illegal alien with a name like John Smith. more

Dont' get labled with a mental illness to cover up your parents sin. Stand up to shriks. There is zero medical scholarship is psychiatry. Its only an opinion no science at all. Psychiatrists claim that a person needs a drug to combat their chemical imbalance in the brain which is causing a persons mental disorder. However, the concept that a brain-based, chemical imbalance underlies mental illness is false. While popularized by heavy public marketing, it is simply psychiatric wishful thinking. As with all of psychiatric disease models, it has been thoroughly discredited by researchers. Diabetes is a biochemical imbalance. However, as Harvard psychiatrist Joseph Glenmullen states, the definitive test and biochemical imbalance is a high blood sugar balance level. Treatment in severe cases is insulin injections, which restore sugar balance. The symptoms clear and retest shows the blood sugar is normal. Psychiatrists do not draw blood to determine the presence of a biochemical imbalance in patients. more

Resolved Question: Are Hispanics in America more likely to have their identity stolen?

Identity theft linked to illegal immigration Apr. 23, 2008 06:58 PM McClatchy Newspapers KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Nobody likes getting a letter from the IRS. So imagine Amanda Bien's reaction last Valentine's Day when the agency wrote to demand $3,300 in back taxes. For jobs she never worked. Five of them. In multiple states. A Lenexa, Kan., Taco Bell. A Wendy's restaurant. Two Target stores, one in California. The Engineered Air manufacturing plant in De Soto, Kan. Someone, somewhere, got Bien's name and Social Security number and gave it a workout. A 28-year-old illegal immigrant was later arrested at the De Soto plant and faces ID theft charges. Though illegal immigrants aren't the only ones stealing identities, cases like Bien's illustrate the inability of disparate government agencies to tackle the problem. While lawmakers in Washington debate ways to crack down on illegal immigration, the market for false documents and stolen Social Security numbers is booming. Particularly vulnerable, authorities say, are legal residents with Hispanic last names. Or, as in Bien's case, names that could sound Hispanic. As politicians know and Bien is finding out, it's a problem that defies easy solutions. The IRS may suspect that multiple people are using the same Social Security number, but the agency doesn't investigate ID theft. Local police and prosecutors cannot deport illegal immigrants they arrest. "I feel like nobody's listening," said Bien, 23, of Ottawa, Kan. "If this can happen to me, it can happen to anybody. And if we don't do something about it now, what's going to happen in 10 years?" Federal estimates indicate that nearly 10 million Americans become victims of identity theft each year. Officials can't say how many of those identities are being used by illegal workers, but prosecutors in Kansas say they see more cases of illegal immigrants using fake credentials every year. It mirrors an increase in overall cases related to illegal immigration. The Kansas U.S. attorney's office received 18 such cases in 1997; in 2007, the number was 106. Experts expect the trend to continue, and they're finding ID theft in surprising places. Last fall, U.S. prosecutors in Missouri charged five noncitizens with ID theft after they were found working in the Kansas City Federal Building's cafeteria. "We know there are thousands and thousands of people working here who aren't even supposed to be here," said Brent Anderson, assistant U.S. attorney for Kansas. "There is rampant ID theft going on ... and I'm afraid that given the situation we're in right now, this is just the beginning."Source: http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2008/04/23/20080423identity-theft0423-ON.htmlDo you think your childrens identity is safe? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHQ9sg4LRvc more

Resolved Question: Is illegal immigration a crime that pays?

Illegal Immigration – A Crime That Pays • February 6, 2010 spencerpriceWhen I was a kid I often heard the saying, “Crime doesn’t pay.” And back then, such was usually the case. Though there were most certainly exceptions, in general, it seemed to me as though most criminals eventually paid for their crimes. And back then, it also seemed to me that most people believed that’s the way it should be. Boy, how things have changed. Nowadays, there appears to be a growing number of people who believe criminals should not have to pay for certain crimes. By justifying these crimes in their own minds, they dismiss the impact the crimes have on society at large and, in time, come to view the crime as no crime at all. The most obvious modern example of such a crime is illegal immigration. Proponents of illegal immigration justify their position in several ways. First, they suggest that illegal immigration is a “victimless crime” and, therefore, should not be considered a crime at all. However, this assertion is prima facie or, “on it’s face,” false. Some parts of America are actually being ravaged by crimes committed by illegal immigrants – their crimes ranging from simple assaults and batteries to more serious offenses including burglary, armed robbery, drug-trafficking and murder. Second, supporters of illegal immigration purport that “illegals” support the economy by performing tasks that American citizens simply won’t do. This assertion, too, is false to a significant degree. The influx of illegal immigrant labor acts to disrupt the normal economic factors affecting certain labor markets. An abundance of cheap labor artificially deflates wages in certain industries – in particular, agriculture, construction, landscaping, and food service. By utilizing illegal immigrant labor, employers, then, manage to get away with paying a lower wage and, therefore, pocket a higher profit. Absent a supply of cheap labor, these employers would be forced to offer higher wages to attract workers with the result being that a greater percentage of American citizens would find the higher wage levels more attractive and therefore seek such employment. In addition, American workers taking these jobs would pay income taxes unlike their illegal immigrant counterparts. Further, income earned by American workers tends to be spent in America which benefits the economy as a whole. On the other hand, a very large percentage of illegal immigrant income is sent out of the United States which serves to deflate the economy much like air leaking from a tire. Third, those who support illegal immigration rail that America is a land of unlimited resources and, therefore, shouldn’t oppose the influx of millions of illegals. This, too, couldn’t be further from the truth. No doubt the United States is a nation blessed with resources and opportunities. However, there are limits. In many parts of America, the demand placed on the infrastructure by a growing population of legal Americans is already exceeding capacity. The addition of millions of illegal immigrants merely exacerbates this problem. Many sectors of the American economy are being crushed by the weigh of excessive demand placed upon them by illegal immigrants – in particular, the healthcare industry. America’s emergency rooms are filled with illegal immigrants seeking care for which they are seldom able to pay. The cost of this care, then, is shifted onto the backs of productive Americans who are forced to pay more and more for their healthcare as the unpaid costs are spread across the industry. http://illegalaliennewsupdate.com/archives/7523 more

Voting Question: Why are Christians routinely breaking some of the 10 Commandments?

There are 10 Commandments, which even organized religions routinely ignore and break. If these are the the rules directly from your god, how can christians, and even the "church" break them? You shall have no other gods before me. DOES PRAYING TO MARY, JESUS, OR ANY OF THE PATRON SAINTS NOT COUNT? You shall not make for yourself any carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments. MY GOD, HAS ANYONE BEEN IN A CHURCH, ESPECIALLY A CATHOLIC CHURCH? THEY HAVE CORNERED THE MARKET ON GRAVEN IMAGES, AND YET NO HAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain. SORRY, I AM GUILTY OF THIS ONE MYSELF Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. TELL THAT TO YOUR BOSS Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you. I AM GOOD ON THIS ONE You shall not murder. GOOD HERE TOO, NO MURDERS IN MY BACKGROUND You shall not commit adultery. DAMMIT, I WAS DOING SO GOOD TOO You shall not steal. I THINK THIS IS RIGGED AGAINST ME You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. ANOTHER IN THE GOOD COLUMN You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s." WHAT IS THE WIFE I COVET ISN'T MY NEIGHBOR'S, WHAT IF SHE LIVES FAR, FAR AWAY? IS THAT A LOOPHOLE? I WAS DOING SO WELL ON THE MANSERVANT, MAIDSERVAN, OX AND DONKEY, DID NOT COVET ANY OF THOSE. I am poking a little fun, but the question why some commandments are ignored is still a valid question. more

Resolved Question: Do find the following statement true or false?

You can get rich by exploiting them for cheap labor if you were a business owner. Their upkeep is less the what it cost to house a slave prior to the Civil War. Human smuggling pays also pays quite handsomely. Transporting twenty illegals @ 5k per head would give you a gross profit of 100k. Most of the trucks that are stopped can hold substantially more. That doesn't include the ancillary profits that can be made from using the illegals as mules for drug runners. Their children are often recruited into street gangs like MS-13 where more money is made from extortion, drug trafficking and murder for hire. (Minors are used by adults to commit the more heinous crimes because the sentences for juveniles lack teeth). Stolen cars are used for the car part market; stolen building supplies allow for cheaper construction costs and the list goes on and on. If you like making money and you don't care about how you do it using illegal aliens is a sure ticket to economic success. more
