A while back I was talking with someone at a boot sale. They told me that they had moved to the USA from the UK over 20 years ago, and were therefore US patriots. The conversation went on, and got round to the NHS, after them estolling the virtues of the US. They were so blaze about the fact that they had come back to the UK for a few months, so that the wife could have an operation done on the NHS, as it would have cost too much for her to have the operation in the USA; and they didn't want to pay, or claim on their health insurance otherwise the premiums would go up.

Why is there not a fail safe in the NHS to stop this happening!!!!!!!!

This sort of thing is costing all of us money from our taxes, and How many more ex- pats are doing this.

Is it a case of soft old Britain again.

I have been with my boyfriend since I was 17 I am now 24. We have had our ups and downs even went our separate ways and always came back to each other. We have been through hell and back. Now things are as close to perfect as I could imagine. We have a 14 month old daughter and we are very much in love. He often make references towards marriage in convo and when I asked him if he plans on getting married one day he happily said "most definatly". THe problem is I used to never want marriage but one day last year I realized I want to spend the rest of my life with him. I feel like i'm getting older and I want to be married by the age of 30 I don't want ot waste years of my life with him if we never get married. I'm ready to tell him basically if we aren't married by a certain time I'll have to move on. Marriage is very much a part of my culture I don't need a big wedding or ring etc. just the commitment. How do I tell him how I feel withouth pressuring him?

Might it be the case that men are primarily driven by impulse or desire rather than unselfish love? As long as they can satisfy some desire, they are "in love" with a mate. But this love is hardly ever unselfish? This is a question about the philosophy of human nature.

There is one song that I want desperately to have, and it's not available on Yahoo! Unlimited. iTunes has it, but I don't have an account. Can I enter my credit card and just buy that song, or do I have to subscribe to something?

and we as Americans are held to a "higher standard" and are made to be "politically correct" to the point where we can't even protect ourselves.

I can not understand how people are so "feel goody" to these people....do they not realize that these people want us all dead? That's ALL of us....even the feel gooders.

I just had my 2nd back surgery. After my 1st, I have been lucky to keep a job for a few months till my back gives out. I have no family or close friends since I was adopted and cast out at 15, so I have no one to help or lean on. I work till my back gives out...then I lose all I have. I have been going through this since 93. I am not lazy, but my mind goes quicker than my body allows, and I have to work to stay alive. It is hard, a few months at a time. Thank God for friends. But how do I prove I really can't work? I can work for a time and feel ok, but not for long. Just like a test they had at physical theripy of climbing a ladder. It took about 2 minuets to climb in pain. I could do it with pain, so they wrote I can do it. Gee, so much for being honest. I could do it, doesn't mean I did it like a normal person or not have to suffer later. Any ideas?

What hand do Egyptian men wear their wedding rings on...
A friend of mine wore a three rings on his right hand but said he wasn't married. A few of his other friends were also wearing the same rings. Is this an indication of marriage or is the a cultural or possibly related to religion (they are Muslim)?

Do you think true love is a rare gift or a common occurance? Would you do anything to keep it once you had found it?

On many questions you will often see all but one person with a thumbs down. Obviously, some one is hoping for a best answer, but why give good answers a thumbs down. I just find it pety and silly, anyone else? I know this site is addicting, but seriously maybe people should find something else to do.

Instead of all kinds of awards going to 'actors' what would you opinion be if they went to Consultants/Doctors etc., and were given on the same level as above. I feel strongly that we direct awards to the above category 'ad-hoc' so to speak when the people like hospital doctors etc., receive no where near as much reconigtion for more life saving factors.

I've heard women state "the government has no right telling me what I can & can't do with my body". When a woman has an abortion, she's not only dealing with her body but she's also dealing with her baby's body. She has no right to destroy another human being's life. Even though the baby is not born, it's still a life. The baby is not fully developed until 18 years old. I'd like to know your opinion.
