Do you know how unreasonable and narrow minded you sound? The only thing certain in this life is death-(a fact you already cannot handle) Everything else could be flawed. The bible was written by men who wanted you to believe. What did you expect to find in it? Why were vast chunks taken out of it if god's word is so important? Explain that? There can only be one explanation-they didn't want people to see certain parts. This is propaganda of the highest order that Joseph Goebbels would have proud of.

Our company employs lots of Polish staff, and many of the young women seem to get pregnant very quickly after coming to the UK. I don't think it's to get benefits (these people are in the UK legally, and they waive their rights to benefits for a certain period after arriving - also, many of them actually travel home to give birth back in Poland).

Is it purely because Poland is a catholic country, or is something else going on?

PS: This isn't intended to be a racist question - I am genuinely interested.

It is being said that today's prices are "worse than the 1981 oil shock".

Gas now at it's highest level, even adjusted for inflation; AAA's reading of nearly $3.20 a gallon marks ninth straight record high.

As of yesterday (late Sunday) a price of unleaded was $3.18 per gallon, up more than 11 cents from two weeks ago.

Is this a "budget buster" for you yet.?
or are you just taking this "all in stride"?

I met a guy the other night. We seemed to be hitting it off. He asked me if I'd like to go out to dinner the next day, asked for my number and said "I'll call you tomorrow." He never called. Did he just change his mind or is it a game that a guy plays to see how many phone numbers he can collect ??

I heard that by 2050 Hispanics are going to out-number White and Black people in the US. Does anyone here feel this is wrong and should not happen? If it does happen America culture will be gone. I mean, this is the United States of America NOT the US of Latin America/Mexico.

Please don't me wrong, I'm not a racist or anything like that, it just that I was born in America and I love America and I would hate to see America being invaded and overatake

My daughter has recently made friends with a girl from her school. The girl lives on the same road as my family and I.

I've recently begun talking with the girls mum as my daughter often goes over to her friends to play and visa versa.

On first meeting the girls mother, she was quite open in telling me that she didn't work and was on benefits.

she has on two occasions now asked to borrow money from me, not large amounts (£10's). I have given it to her because 1) I do not want her daughter to go without the essentials and 2) I feel very uncomfortable when asked.

At first I felt sorry for her, but then I got to thinking that she like me has a 9 year old daughter. I manage to work fulltime and am contributing to her benefits by doing so!

How would you broach the subject?

A recent call to court has a line in a witness statement as:

"At the time of the offence no Police Radios or mobile phones were not in use or transmitting." (My quotes).

In relation to a temporary speed-gun (type LTI 20/20 TS/M) and the double negative could I argue that the gun might well have been incorrect from interference from a large number of sources? How would a court react?

Thanks.

Every time I use Firefox and open up a browser window, around 20 or so new browser windows keep popping up instantly. It makes typing or doing work impossible, because as I type, a whole horde of windows will open and I have to close all of them before getting back to typing what I was typing before. Anyone have any ideas if this is a viral problem and how do I fix it? Thanks in advance.

I was on my way to the gym yesterday and was stopped at a traffic light. A woman with a big white bucket was walking up to all of the cars that were stopped at the light asking for money. When she came up to my window, I shook my head because I don't give money to solicaters and I'm a 19 year old girl so I don't roll down my windows for strangers. She didn't go away so I rolled down the window and she proceeded to ask me for money. I don't carry cash on me and I told her this and she said "We take change!" so I have her all the money in my change cup to get her to leave. The light turned green and I went on my way.

After leaving the gym I got stopped at yet another intersection by the same organization (another person) who actually stood in front of my car when the light turned green. I went up the road and there was another person from the same organization asking for money. I felt harassed and like I couldn't simply enjoy a Sunday afternoon job at the gym without being hassled..

(This is one sentence! The paper was written in 1998-so I wonder why the language seems so archaic)

In spanish:
Durante el imperio de Maximiliano en México, estas islas recientemente pobladas, Cozumel y Mujeres, dependían de Yucatán y como tal se realizó durante el corto tiempo que duró esta dificil situación un viaje de inspección por parte del Prefecto político, para conocer como están los colonos dos décadas y media después del repoblamiento.

my translation:
During Maximiliano’s empire in Mexico, the recently populated islands, Cozumel and Mujeres, were dependent on the Yucatan and so it happened during that short time and in that difficult situation, that a political Prefect conducted an inspection tour, to see what two decades of settlers (colonos=settlers) and average after the repopulation.

Hi,
I have a 1991 Hyundai Excel and am currently using premium high octane (98+) fuel in.
I have read that sometimes using premium fuel in older cars has no benefits and can sometimes increase overall running costs. As I am a student I don't want to be wasting money on petrol, but want whats best for my car.
Does anyone know what fuel I would be best using?
Thankyou
