I saw it again yesterday and realized how cool a movie it is. It isn't all about action and fighting but the action that's in it is real cool. V talks in a way that makes your head spin sometimes but you understand and it's awesome...

Anyone else with me?

I recently discovered that my new boyfriend is pretty racist and it really bothers me. It's such a huge turn off. I've told him that I don't agree with him and to keep his comments to himself.

I'm hoping that I can bring him to see the light, because I really like him for other reasons. There's a possibility that he can change right?

Hi,
I started counseling 4 months ago. The past 2 months have been hell for me. I feel worse than I did before. Part of it is I have only been able to see the therapist about once a month and it caused me so much frustration to wait til the next vistit. I asked him for more visits, but he said his schedule was full. I finally asked to plan a month in advance and he then gave me 2 visits per month. The problem is that I cannot stop obsessing about counseling and reading and thinking. I was very numb before and counseling seems to have opened up a flood of anxiety that I cannot seem to stop obsessing about. Is this normal to have such anxiety after starting therapy? Thanks!

Some time ago, the oil pressure light on my car started to come on from time to time when I stop at a light. A shop said it's because of the bad sending unit and they changed it. It started again after an oil change a few weeks ago. They said it's because the oil level is low and it caused the sending unit to go bad. I actually checked the oil level and it was about half way between max. and min. The shop said it should always be at max.!! What's the correct level then?

Why do people always talk about them and stuff like that. It is so stupid, all they did was show up in a movie or sung a song. I dont' see why people always want to be like them or why people care so much about them. It is really annoying.

Can u realy belive that the Bible says earth and everything was done in a couple of hours? Hebrew scolars say that the word "day" found in the first chapter of Genesis can also mean "period of time". If u read Gen 2:4 u will b surprised in finding out that all those days are called ONE day (meaning period of time). Bible is again in harmony with science and fanatics are not. (remember when the church said the sun spins around the earth?)

Thanks to immigration laws that favor relatives instead of skilled workers, most of the immigrants being admitted are low-skilled. Out of all the adult immigrants admitted in 2000, 69 percent had no reported profession, occupation, or job at all.2 The average adult immigrant has only a ninth-grade education; more than a third of immigrants over 25 are not high school graduates.3
Claims That We Need Low-Skilled Workers Are False.
Some employers claim that they need to import low-skilled workers to compete in the world market, where wages are very low. But those employers have simply become dependent on cheap foreign labor to the detriment of American workers: “Network recruitment [of immigrants] not only excludes American workers from certain jobs; it also builds a dependency relationship between U.S. employers and Mexican sources that requires a constant infusion of new workers,” says economist Philip Martin.4 Such a strategy for our economy is doomed to failure anyway: “The low-wage strategy may work in the short run, but in the long run it’s a loser. In the long run, we are not going to win a wage-cutting contest with the Third World,” notes economist Vernon Briggs.5

Besides, the United States already has plenty of low-skilled native workers: “No technologically advanced industrial nation that has 27 million illiterate adults ... need have any fear about a shortage of unskilled workers in its foreseeable future.”6

The effects are most pronounced in the cities where immigrants go. High immigration cities have twice as much unemployment as low immigration cities.7 Because too much immigration keeps wages low, wage increases in low-immigration cities have been 48 percent higher than in high-immigration cities.8 Thus, immigration contributes to the growing disparity between the rich and the poor in this country9 and the shrinking of the middle class.10 But the damage is not confined to high-immigration locales. The harm is carried to other cities when poor Americans whose wages have been depressed or who have been displaced from their jobs by immigration move to low-immigration areas in search of greener pastures.11

Wages Are Lowered By Competition From Immigrants.
The effect of immigration on those low-skilled Americans is profound, and the government knows it: “Undoubtedly access to lower-wage foreign workers has a depressing effect [on wages],” says former Labor Secretary Robert Reich.12 Research suggests that between 40 and 50 percent of wage-loss among low-skilled Americans is due to the immigration of low-skilled workers.13 Some native workers lose not just wages but their jobs through immigrant competition. An estimated 1,880,000 American workers are displaced from their jobs every year by immigration; the cost for providing welfare and assistance to these Americans is over $15 billion a year.14

Large-Scale Immigration of Low-Skilled Workers Must Be Stopped.
In short, the mass importation of low-skilled workers through immigration damages the job market for Americans, depresses wages for low-skilled natives, and costs the taxpayer billions a year-all for the benefit of businesses that have become dependent on cheap, foreign labor. An immigration system that admits too many people, without regard to their skill levels or impact on the labor force, is to blame. We must reform the immigration laws to lower the level of annual immigration and to ensure that those immigrants who are admitted complement, not compete, with our native labor force.

I've been dating this awesome guy for about 2-3 months. He isn't a guy I typically go for, but I thought he was cute and during our first date he kept me laughing the entire time. Well, since then I have had an incredible time with him; we have great chemistry in all aspects of our relationship. Well, the other night he approached me with concerns about possible issues that may arise in the future because we don't have much in common as far as interests go. I don't see this as a problem because I am open and willing to share in his interests. Am I being foolish to think this won't be an issue later on? Or is he putting emphasis on the wrong thing?

Why did the honda in the 1980s get 40mpg and now no better than 35 w/o the "magic" of the hybrid? Why hasn't there been any significant breakthrougs in transportation technology in the last 15 years? Hybrids have huge potentian to get over 100 mpg... why aren't they?
