That is kind of a snide question, but Beckett had a piece in a recent magazine that suggested those with 9.5 + could resubmit and would likely get a 10 grade....does this not change the standards and devalue all the cards they've already graded?

I live just across the border from Ontario,Canada in Cheektowaga (Buffalo), New York. One of our malls is called the Walden Galleria and about 70% of all the license plates in the parking lot are from Ontario!

I was speaking to a Canadian couple the other day and they said they come down every 2 months for all the deals at the American department stores like Target and JCpenny. It's funny because I go to Yorkdale in Toronto all the time and I love there shops! The Bay and Zellers are great!!

I was wondering why a lot of people seem to like shopping at stores they don't have around them. Is it because it's different, or a change from the norm, or just because the deals really are better? I know not every one does this, but avid shoppers seem to enjoy this (including me lol!)

I'm thinking of leaving after 1 week cause ppl @ work are starting to act different towards me, even the boss. They already are training someone to replace me and they are kind of brushing me off & rubbing it in as if they don't care. What do you think I should do? i really don't want to be there anymore.

Would they deny her this "choice"?

This practice is very common in other countries, especially in China after the one child per family law was imposed on the people. As a result of many years of this, China now has too many men and not enough women to marry them. So China has made this practice of sex selection by way of abortion illegal.

However, it is still legal in many states in America to have an abortion with no questions asked, even at 9 months of pregnancy, so many are coming here from foreign countries so they can get an abortion for gender selection.

I had always heard about internet scams but never encountered them until today. Well occasionally I buy things online and pay with PayPal. I've never had a problem with them and I still don't. But I got an email that looked legitimate, had the PayPal address (it looked like it did) so I opened it. The content of the email looked like a PayPal email looks. It said my personal information needed updating and I should click on their link which they provided. It looked exactly like the PayPal website--it was incredible. I think they hijacked the PayPal website because all the details were the same. They asked me to enter my password which I did. But when they said they needed me to fill in my credit card numbers I did not. At that time I checked my status bar and there was no lock. Long story shorter, it was a scam. I contacted PayPal and they said to send it to them and gave me their "spoof" address. So be sure if you go to Pay Pal, use a new browser window.

Louis Farrakan believes that whites are evil and that interracial relations are too, is this just as racist as what the white supremacists believe?

I did not know that, it's a much higher percentage than I expected.

And why are all these other religions hardly discussed around here if there's so many followers? I asked about Baha'i a few days ago, and only a handful of people knew what I was talking about.

There are some really juvenile sexual questions asked that are pretty stupid. Why do people feel compelled to respond to them? I am just curious for your answers.
