simply stopped buying new cars powered by gasoline to pressure Detroit to produce an affordable alternative?
The federal government is in bed with the oil companies. It collects hundreds of billions of $ in gas taxes. The government will do nothing that will harm that revenue base.
If Americans simply stopped buying new cars for a month or two, perhaps Detroit would get the message and come up with an affordable vehicle powered by alternative energy.
As fragile as the auto industry is, it could not handle a month long period without sales. Two months without sales would kill the industry. Two months without buying a new car would hardly effect consumers.
Could the problem of high gas prices be solved by boycotting new cars?
Your thoughts?

Men: If your girl were 7mnths pregnant and u guys decided to take a break for a little while but you guys were still seeing each other everyday, still saying i love you's, still having sex, still basically a couple, would you consider sleeping with someone else?

Ladies: Let's say you were 7months pregnant. You and your boyfriend have been going out for 4yrs and this is you guys' second child on the way. You guys decided awhile ago that things were getting stress filled, so you decided to take a break. Well, its been awhile later and you guys still are hanging out everyday, telling each other you love each other, still having sex, still basically a couple. Then you find out that he had slept with someone else a couple different times during all of this. What would you do and would you consider that cheating?

If you're a shy guy, please help! I like this guy, but he's not so confident with girls. How should I ask him out? Direct approach, a note, a friend... I know, it's kind of dumb, but I don't know what else to do. Help.

Or a mixture of both?

Most atheists have studied religion much more than most Christians have, and to make it more entertaining it seems that the responses are from 16-yr-olds.

To me, she isn't very good looking and she's always changing her sound....most times with digital remixing....why is she relevant? She has gotten along with nominal talent for years.....but I do have to hand it to her manager or publicist....very smart people.

Ok. I am not a fan of aspartame and I stopped using that an Saccharin a while back. I was told it was basically better to use honey to sweeten teas or coffee. Just use in moderation. But when Splenda broke out, I was excited! I use it from time to time in my dishes and drinks to keep from using sugar.

Now, there are disagreements. Some say Splenda is the best artificial sweetener to use. Especially for diabetics and those who want to lose or watch their weight. But then I heard some say the body reads Splenda as sugar, it processes the sweetener wrong, and it winds up making you gain weight. Just like their claims on saccharin and aspartame. One reason I don't drink diet soda, is because it did just that to my body. I try not to indulge in soda that much anyway. But on occasion I will have one that isn't artificially sweetened. SOMEONE HELP! Is Spenda indeed processed the same way as aspartame and saccharin? I have searched and asked my nurse. I don't know what to trust.

When I watch American cartoon programmes like Family Guy and The Simpsons, they often poke fun at Canadians. They say they are slow-witted and they put them down seemingly just for existing. I don't know any Canadian programmes so I don't know if the reverse is true. I'm sure it's a terrible generalisation, but are there any historic reasons I am missing as to why some Americans seem to have it in for Canada and the Canadians.
Thanks.

I have a anti-stalking order against my ex. Last week I began to move out of my home. The ex does not live in the home either. Now I was renting and have the place rented until the end of this month. My anti-stalking order included my old address, new address, work and my mothers home as the old address was due to us moving on the weekends as I work full time and have 3 children... How was my ex able to have the old address removed on this last Monday without my knowledge? I needed to go and clean still that was this weekends fun for me and the kids... now we are not safe to do that. How can a judge sign off on the word of the one doing the stalking? Did he just walk in and say she does not live there anymore and the Judge sign off on this? I now am going to end up charged $ for the landlord to clean this property and who is responsible? The Judge for signing off on this and the ex?
