Supply side conservatives believe that tax cuts (mostly for the rich), deregulation, and cutting social programs lead to better economic growth. Liberals believe that shifting the tax burden to the rich, creating laws and programs that help workers, consumers, and citizens, and creating social programs to help people help themselves leads to a larger more educated middle class and better economic growth.

WHO'S RIGHT? WHY NOT LET THE FACTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES?

My biological mother is a compulsive lier and so is her husband. She abandoned me when I was little and knowingly left my and my brother with an abusive father. She had choose to tell me she was in an accident and lost her memory so she wouldn't have to answer for the past. which I caught her countless times lying and try to back peddle. I tried several times until I had enough and told her I wanted nothing more to do with her and him. They are trying to ruin my life,reputation and family. I have 4 small children and they are harrassing me. Have called CPS and reported me. They came to my home and found the report unfounded and I have a copy of the report but they won't be happy until they have ruined my life. These are truly psychotic people who are evil and I believe won't stop at anything. I told them if they continued I would get a restraining order. There is just no reasoning with them they are both seriousley off their rockers. That is why I cut off communication.

I'm a 34 C/D and I'm 15, but I always get little comments from girls like whoa, those are huge...i often get labeled as a slut, skank, etc. before people know me just because of them...I don't even wear revealing clothes...mostly t-shirts...are these girls jealous of the attention i receive from guys or what? ( yea...the guys at my school always seem to find a way to sneak an awkward brush on them somehow, which i find embarassing and i don't know why anyone would want that attention). Are they really jealous or are they seriously thinking, "god, id hate to have those"

why do buddhists worship and bow down to man-made statues and revere them?

why do buddhists change their statues if they are not "answering prayers"?

why do buddhists sell their statues to 2nd-hand shops and then buy newer and MORE"POWERFUL" ones?

please answer all 3 questions, buddhists. (dun tell me buddhists don't do these, because buddhists do these all around the world.)

What would it take to convince you that the Bible and its God ARE fatally flawed (assuming you're not yet convinced)?


And if nothing could ever convince you, isn't your "faith" pretty meaningless? Isn't it, in fact, mere stubbornness ...

Gaining it back wasnt the problem since I'm still young and growing. I grew a foot taller then when I was when I lost the weight. The problem now is that I gained belly fat and nothing will work to get rid of it. Diet products, ephedra, nothing.I have walked about 3 miles a night every single day for the past 3 years and was on a exercise regimen but got frustrated and stopped. I am 6'2 and 200 pounds. Anything to try to get rid of this belly fat.

I mean, some of you just seem to have a lot of jealousy and built up animosity towards me.

I mean, it's not my fault if I was just created so much better than you.

NOT EVERYONE THOUGH :).

My TV is an Insignia 720p HDTV, it has an NTSC and picks up local PBS very well as well as local Fox, NBC, CBS, and ABC. Unfortunately, the signal is very weak and frequently comes in and out of reception. When there is reception the picture will freeze at times and become pixelated at others. Are there amplifiers or antennae I can get at affordable prices that will remedy this situaion?

I have the 100 channel package from Time Warner, but everyone tells me the local networks broadcast seperate from the cable companies. This is very confusing and answers would be appreciated!

I have 4 children and my oldest daughter and one of my twin daughters didn't so much as call me for Mother's Day. I have helped both of them countless times. My oldest daughter married a man who is bisexual and very controlling - I don't like his ways. She had 2 children before they were married and he doesn't like them and it shows. The twin has an illness that will eventually kill her - I have also helped her countless times. I was a single mother with 4 children and I worked 3 jobs in order to continue our lifestyle when my ex-husband left. Should I write them each a letter and cut them off? I am hurting so badly because of this (not suicidal - just hurt).

My husband and I are pretty good about having protected sex, we have only been married 2 years and aren't ready to have kids yet. Around two weeks ago we had unprotected sex, we really didn't think anything of it he didn't ejaculate in me but hey anything can happen. Basically I am a huge worrier and went to get a pregnancy test just to make sure. Both turned out negative, however I still have not gotten my period yet. I'm not one to keep track of it simply because I'm still young and it tends to be irregular. My question is would those tests be reliable since I took them two weeks after the unprotected sex. Any answers would be of great help thanks!

I understand that translations to other languages can lead to errors given the fallibility of humans...but what makes even the original Arabic worthy of conveying Allah's word? Surely the nuances of Allah's words are beyond the ability of Arabic (or any language) to capture. Wouldn't this at least put all of the verses of the Koran open to interpretation (and just some of them)?

its really scary. I dress the complete opposite of skanky. I were long skirts, no cleavage, i dress like a lady i guess. but just about every guy teacher that i have had (well, the ones in their 20s-40s and i hope it ends there) have said something implying that they find me attractive. Something like i need too meet you mom (like i dont know what that means.) do i unconciously flirt, smile too much, what??? because it really creeps me out and i dont want to have to encounter a bold one when i go off to college.

shes verrry fat and cute :] but she keeps her eyes somewhat closed, but i know they aren't stuck. is she just sleepy?

i know theyre not stuck because in the car i looked at her and shecan open them just fine. also, she went to sleep in the corner when she has an igloo in her cage. so i had to PUT her into the igloo so maybe she'll get the habit.

I mean , on one hand , they are definitely giving you very strong hints that they like you (very much) and then on the other (like every other day) they try to convince you that you are not their type and they are not really interested and just want to "be friends", yet they then throw out more and more clues that Yes! they DO like you?

Why do they do this?
