The ex-Mormon can say whatever she wants
but that doesn't make it fact. The girl in question, who has not even been found, was supposedly 16 years old. Yet, again, the facts are not clear. Let's wait and see what the investigation uncovers.
I'm Mormon.
//
the polygamists are not Mormon
There is confusion since the names are so similar, but this polygamist group in the news has not been connected to the mainstream Mormon church in over 100 years. There are big differences between the two, but that is not the point of this discussion thread.
Right, and men usually marry for one reason
for someone to take over their mom's job :)
Did he marry her, the answer is
no. They had a symbolic wedding, means nothing in the eyes of the law. Her mother would be her next of kin. That being said, IF 1 of the 3 now claiming to be the father really turns out to be the father, the courts probably would hold the money in trust. I am not so sure they would entrust her father to get that much money and besides that from what I have read, the court action may not be completely over yet on the outcome of the millions from the old man husband. Such twists and turns, huh?
Did he marry her so he could stay in the U.S.? nm

How to Marry a Millionaire
Most women use more brains picking a horse in the third at Belmont than they do picking a husband.
Would you ... date or marry someone ...
Simple questions .......
Would you ever date/marry.....
someone who is less educated than yourself?
someone of a different race?
someone whose parent's are divorced?
someone who has bad credit or alot of bad debt?
someone who is overweight or obese?
someone who affliates or supports a different political party than yourself?
someone who is rude to customer service staff?
someone who talks a longtime on their cell phone when you are eating?
someone who enjoys a different genre of music?
someone who does not enjoy the same leisure activities as yourself?
someone who is a very picky eater or someone who is a vegeterian/vegan and you are not?
someone who prefers to spend leisure time alone or with friends (without you)?
These questions had me testing my own dating/marriage limits...
Not if you don't re-marry and you are widowed. I collect, so I know
sorry!
I hope she didn't marry him
i'm sure my winning the lotto wouldn't change that LOL
I am not letting my young teen marry an old man.

marry someone who smoked or couldn't sing sm
He smokes and won't be on American Idol anytime soon but isn't completely awful lol
When you answer no to some of these, as in would you marry an obese person
What in the world should happen if after you marry a slim, trim person they gain weight? Does that mean a divorce for you? Other than a person changing race after a marriage, most of these other questions could change with the person and then what, you leave?
Better hope DS doesn't marry her; their kids will be rude too :(

Illegal.
'
illegal....
If you make it legal then it opens up a whole other can of legal worms. I don't think I want my tax money spent on settling the dispute between hoX and hoY. Even if they are paying taxes by making it a legal transaction, most will be doing it "under the table" (ha ha) and it will only be a burden on society, not a way to make more tax money.
As for paying their medical bills - I'm sure we the taxpayers are already doing that thru Medicaid.
Is she illegal too? sm
I would drop a dime to ICE so fast your head would spin. And why is your dad so much more interested in "helping her" when you are his flesh and blood? Have you talked to him about it? I'd be concerned about ID theft as well if she is using your mailbox too.
illegal
Wish ignorant people like YOU were illegal in this country! Look up the temperment tests & bite statistics... know your facts!
Pot is not illegal everywhere - sm
Woody Haralson was the host of a documentary about marijuana and how it came to be illegal in the US. During Prohibition, one man in D.C. wanted to make it illegal, but there was no data about it. So Congress ordered tests and everything came back finding no evidence of long-term effects so Congress found no reason to make it illegal. The man in D.C. wasn't happy, so he lobbied and was able to get a tax passed on pot.
Pot is not illegal to own wihout the tax stamps, which have never printed or distributed to The People. Pot is not illegal in certain quantities in certain states. Possession of marijuana without the stamps is the real reason it is illegal.
Just the facts, only the facts.
I thought this would be illegal too
I'd defnitely report it. I'd be willing to bet somebody else already has. That just sounds totally disgusting to me.
No, not illegal, born here but
from the getto part of town. Don’t assume about things, ok? We are talking about a person who has never held a regular job, has lived off welfare, gotten food stamps and besides that, it is no where close to slave labor. OMG. She has been around so long she does what is the basics and then watches a lot of televison. Slave, she usually calls me and asks if I have anything for her to do.
Maybe he's an illegal, and didn't think he'd win, or they'd -

This was a tiger in the zoo, not someone's illegal pet - sm
It escaped somehow from its enclosure (they think it scaled the fence somehow as they know it did not go out the cage door). The tiger was shot and killed. It had previously attacked a zoo keeper a year ago (they lived obviously or it would have been killed then probably).
mee too, wish they were illegal in this country

I'm not sure, but I thought they were illegal
I know policemen use them, but I've never known them to be used by the public, but then again I could be way off base.
Well if you don’t care if illegal or not
then I am sure all the extra people here in the US do not worry you either, right? So much for illegalities.
PLEASE - Just b/c something is illegal does not make it sm
immoral. Those laws (drug use in particular) change according to societies. Throughout history humans have chosen to change their mental status through use of substances, alcohol, chanting, fasting and religion! Pot is no more harmful (and probably less so) than alcohol.
We are wasting so much tax money on imprisoning people for using a weed, in the privacy of their own homes - what a collosal waste of money.
So who gets to decide what is illegal and what is not? You? sm
That's a slippery slope. Like the poster below who wants sugar taxes - actually that's not a bad idea since sugary drinks and snacks are making our kids fat. Let's see - then we should tax fast food or control the amount that fatties can eat, right?
Where does it end?
But chicking and dog fighting is illegal.....

What part of illegal don't you understand? (sm)
You are talking about ancestors who came thru Ellis Island. They were screened for disease and such. Those healthy enough were let in the country legally. Those not were turned away. They weren't sneaking over the borders.
I don't believe anyone objects to legal immigration. Too bad too many Americans are too dense to distinguish the difference.
illegal. it's disgusting all around on so many levels.
a
Illegal and all involved should be prosecuted.

Maybe she means illegal aliens

That's such a mean thing to say! What if someone wanted you to be illegal! nm
I do believe it's illegal to feed the deer in PA
because of the harm it causes (see other postings). Your neighbor might get in some serious trouble for doing this. My father and uncles were deer hunters and every year would put salt licks out for them, but about 30 years ago, they stopped. I really don't know the reason, but I would seriously do some checking on this.
You could tell your neighbor that she's making it easier on the hunters as they will start trusting humans and think that they (hunters) are coming to feed them. If that doesn't get her to stop, then show some printed material on the laws. DH isn't hunting this year or I would look it up in the manual he used to get.
Yes, indeed, it is illegal to feed deer in PA.
It's never a good idea to feed them, anywhere. I was just reading an article about this. When deer are fed, they tend to concentrate where the food is being left for them. The local population of deer increases, the food left out for them is not enough to support all of the deer, and so many of them starve. It's actually counter-productive. Deer adapt to the winter weather. They spread out in their environment. Their metabolism slows. They move less and eat less. Some die over the winter, of course. It is nature, after all. But feeding them is not good for them. Your animal loving neighbor is actually hurting the deer.
Tobacco and alcohol should be illegal.
who make poor decisions.
The 2 drugs that cause more death and damage are legal but shouldn't be.
I have a right NOT to pay for others' poor decision-making and to not worry about the impact hurled onto society from their actions.
No but I had an illegal Mexican immigrant ...sm
who moved in a trailer who moved on the same 10 acres I live on. The land doesn't belong to me so it wasn't up to me whether or not she lived there. Anyways she took it upon herself to give my address as her own. Her mail started coming to my box. Never asked or nothing. Then she would go check the mail in MY box and sometimes my sales papers would go missing and such. Didn't like it at all. I started making sure I got the mail first and not giving her her mail. She would come ask if she had mail and I would say no you sure don't. I think she got the point. She doesn't get mail at my box anymore. LOL Got rid of that problem.
Rooster fighting is illegal in CA, yet there is a place (sm)
I can see from the freeway that is acres upon acres of little tent-shaped coops that house chained-up fighting roosters. It's been there for 30 year - and I can't figure out WHY.
Isn't it illegal to fire someone for observing their own religion? nm

Just heard on NBC news that no illegal drugs or
alcohol were found. There was a rolled $20 bill found that had no traces of drugs. ET just reported that there were drugs found in the bill. Do any of us think the real truth will ever come out?
Use of illegal drugs, alcohol consumption, and cigarette
smoking are just as prevalent today as they were 20+ years ago. Perfect example: Look at the DARE program, that was introducted in grade school amost 20 years ago. There are no hard statistical facts that there are less drug abusers today than there were 20 years ago, so that 'program' was a complete failure and a waste of tons of money. These types of behaviors will go on until the end of time. No amount of education or imprisonment is every going to stop people from engaging in these types of behaviors.
completely agree w/your point on legal/illegal, but sm
I wish the outrage regarding illegals was across the board. When it comes to Mexicans, since they benefit big business and since their only dirty business is under their fingernails, it's okay.
I'm just saying we shouldn't have one standard for one religion or race and a different one for another.
You just nailed it. Companies hire illegal immigrants.

I was ROTFL when I read the part about giving each illegal
Yeah really they will punish this woman but continue to allow the illegal scalping.
I can't even believe anyone actually goes to concerts anymore. I stopped when the scalpers started to buy them all up within seconds of going on sale and then posted them on ebay for up to 10 x the value. I won't buy into that crap. Wish nobody else would either, maybe would put a stop to it. :)
I wish they'd make a board for ESL/illegal alien opinions so I can avoid it.

it's not illegal, but it's inappropriate & he shouldn't be allowed to teach anymore

You may be, from the sounds of your posts, sounds like an *illegal*
and that in itself is a crime. Nobody else would take 65.00 for an entire day slaving/laundry, heavy cleaning, etc. LOL. Nah, I don't think so. I'm just saying, what it sounds like to me. : )
