Australians are fined for not voting. People have the option of spoiling their paper in the UK which equals "none of the above", therefore should people be fined for not taking their part in democracy? Would it make elections more credible?

Am I the only one? I may "need help", but at least I can say I am being straightforward about things.
How about other people?

Recently my step son (15) asked if he could come and live with me. I told him he was welcome so long as it was ok with his parents. He wanted to go to the mall every fri. & I told him I wouldn't bring him EVERY fri. I brought him one week . The following fri. his dad visited & steven asked his dad to drive him to the mall. I was annoyed and told his dad that we had discussed this already and that i had brought him the fri. before & told him this wasn't going to be a weekly thing. His dad turned on me & called me a conrolling b--- etc. etc. in front of Steven. I told them to leave if Steven wouldn't do what I told him to do. They refused to leave & I pretended to call the cops. Then they left. Was I wrong or right? His dad called me the following day and told me I was a piece of s---. I feel I was walked all over. What do you think? Was I awful or were they ?

Is it possible to target belly fat, and not lose weight elsewhere? If so how is it possible? The only place I have any noticeable fat is my belly. I know if I go on a diet to lose weight I will lose weight everywhere, which isn't my goal.

I know I asked this before but I still don't understnad why people are blindly against it.

1) Its been proven this war wasn't about oil
2) They did find WMDs in Iraq
3) As a superpower it is USA's job to liberate the iraqi people from an insane dictator.
and for people who saying that we shouldn't get involved in other country's business, that is a little selfish. You have to remember if it wasn't for another country getting involved in our business we may not exist as a nation today.

I have a 4 year old cat, and for his first two years, he seemed normal, only slightly shy. About two years, two of our others cats died, and now he seems afriad of his own shadow. He won't come near with a lot of coaxing. Once he's being petted, he seems fine, but if I leave him for more than a second or two, the cycle starts again. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to deal with this?

When I was at school ( a long time ago), some of the books I had to read were Brave New World (Aldous Huxley), Animal Farm, 1984 (George Orwell), Sons & Lovers (D H Lawrence), The Hobbit (Tolkien), and many others. These books inspired me to continue reading - Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Solzhenitsyn, Jane Austen, The Brontes, Elizabeth Gaskell, George Elliott, Balzac, Mervin Peake, Trollope, Wilkie Collins, Robert Graves, Evelyn Waugh, Grahame Greene and so on and so on.

My 15 year old son came home last week with an essay to do for English Lit on the film 6th Sense. I've never seen it. I've heard it's a good film. But......is it really literature??? Are we doing our children a great disservice by not introducing them to great literature?

Or am I just old fashioned and living in the past.

Love can conquer all "they say". We believe that most of the time, huh? Because love does not get the light paid, but it does work wonders, so you know there is power in love. But what about hate? Can you hate so much that power developes because of it? That it could become a negative energy and disrupt whatever is its target?
