I had a friend, whose boss lost his licence.
The boss made driving him around part of my friend's job description.
One day she got a fine, which she couldn't afford to pay, and she lost her licence.
Subsequently, she lost her job and the boss got another one of his employees to drive him around.
A one-hundred-dollar fine means poverty for one man and nothing to another...
It's a sad story and illustrates the unfairness of fines. Let's make every fine have two parts:
1. Community Service
2. A fine as a percentage of your previous year's income
That seems a lot more fair, don't you think?

Pro Life Choice
For the ladies:
The decision is yours; make an informed one.
For men:
If you don’t have internal genitals, this hasn't got much to do with you. All you can do is help your partner make an informed choice and support her. Women have choices, men have responsibilities. By chance of birth we were assigned either: responsibility or childbirth… we got off pretty light. Deal with it.
Don’t want babies? Wear a condom. It’s not rocket science.
For the unborn child:
You don’t have any rights until you can vote as far as I’m concerned.

Official Questions...
On an application form regarding eligibility for entry to Canada:
10. In periods of either peace or war, have you ever been involved in the commission of a war crime or a crime against humanity, such as: wilful killing, torture, attacks upon, enslavement, starvation, or other inhumane acts committed against civilians or prisoners or war; or deportation of civilians.
Henry Kissinger need not apply!

Kosovo Gains independence!
Have a country.
Everyone grab a country:
Let’s make a Kurdistan
More power to southern Thailand
Freedom for Aceh
Give the Tamils some land
Free Tibet
UN for Taiwan
Disband the United States
Damn it! Western Australia Succeed!
Let everyone have a country.
Imaginary lines on the ground... can’t have too many.
If it would stop people killing each other, why not
It would be nice though for those seeking independence to look more towards
Gandhi than
Guevara
US election coming up...
...if you hadn't noticed.
It looks like a race to see who Americans hate the least: women or blacks.
