"Only the inner city kids are not motivated, lazy and useless. Usually somewhat retarded." -da_hammerhead. I teach in an inner-city school system, and the children there are not lazy or retarded. Inner-city schools often receive less funding, few extra opportunities (extracurricular, and academics), and less parental involvement. Inner-city children do often times come with more baggage, because they have had more harsh experiences. I teach first grade in an inner-city school system, and my students are not lazy or useless. Many are behind, but it is my duty to do my best to pull them up and to show them that they can succeed. I see children that are already demotivated and broken. There's nothing sadder than to see a 6 year old that is broken. I am not only their teacher, but they mother/father, doctor, friend, and support system. Children rise to the expectations set forth for them. I hope that you are not a teacher hammerhead, because if so, you do not deserve to teach them.

In February of 2005, I broke my back in a freak sledding accident; I acutally broke T12 (that is the vertebre at the bottom of your rib cage.) into several pieces. Since then, I have made a full recovery. I can walk and everything. The only thing I can't do it go on roller coaster and such. I was just curious if anyone else out there has experienced something similar.

We are buying new construction housing and moving in September. I've heard that the soil that comes with the development is not very good. What steps should I take in order to establish a new lawn that is relatively lush, weed-free, and green? I am considering trucking in new soil - but having never been a homeowner before, I don't have a clue where to start.

that the argument of why illegal immigration is bad for society is that American tax money is spent on it? I'd like to see the statistics on that and then I'd compare them to the exploited wages and treatment they get. Is California bankrupt because of illegal immigrants, or are they bankrupt because big corporations take advantage of its citizens and its government? Wasn't our great country founded on illegal immigration as we waltzed onto the Native Americans' land? Why don't we try having compassion for illegal immigrants rather than condemning them? Some have the idea that if we do not show direct compassion to illegal immigrants, they will stop coming, and that will be better for everyone involved. The consequences in this case justify the fact that you will at some point have to deny a starving man food, a sick man medicine, a pregnant woman a place to give birth, etc. Why don't we treat others as we want to be treated? How can we expect the big corporations and our politicians..

Apparently the owner was with some friends and with his dog who was very devoted to him. At some time the man turned his back to the dog, when suddenly the dog jumped on him and tore off the back of his neck. The man died in the ambulance on its way to the hospital.

Can you offer an explanation for this? Are these dogs so unpredictable?

I am going to be 39 weeks 1 day pregnant at my next appointment and that is 20 day later than my last. I am not getting seen every week and am very concerned about this. Granted I am having a healthy pregnancy I am a first time mother and get very worried still. How do they know he will continue to stay healthy? That my amniotic fluid in the sake has not depleted or his heart rate has slowed. I have heard some awful stories of problems unknown till the last weeks of your pregnancy. I called numerous times complaining I want to be seen sooner and they refuse to see me before my next appointment even though I offered to come in on the drop of a dime if there was a cancellation. I just want peace of mind and they said I will not been seen weekly till after my 40th week. What should I do???

I know I'll get a lot of remarks, but hear me out. I have a theory that there could be a "science" to "faith" Maybe faith is an ingenious plot to see our true self. Example. Poker game. Teacher tells 2 students "I've gave you the book on how to play cards, now it's time for you to take over from here" Student A takes what he learns from the book and makes a "conclusion" that 4 aces lie in his unshown hand, and makes a bet. In the next hand the teacher shows the Student B the 4 Aces he has, and the student makes a bet on what he saw with his own eyes.
Which student deserves the money the most? The one who bet on "faith" or the one who bet on what was proven?
My belief is that Christians, when asked about how things began, answer with "Because it just is, and God did it " and Atheists answer with "We can't prove there is a God, so there must not be one" What do you think?
