1)Overspeculation-or excessive,risky investments in land,stocks,and commodities, in the hope of making huge profits-contributed to the Panic of 1819
I think it's wrong ,for it's nothing to do with risky investment in stocks and commodities.

2)The XYZ affair of 1797 did much to improve relations between America and France.

3)President Jefferson and nation were relieved when France resecured Louisiana from Spain in 1800, for Americans would again have shipping rights through New Orleans, a better chance for western expansion, and a friendly neighbor along their western border.

I am not trying to start anything nasty here, but please look at (not gory or anything):

Please don't respond by pointing out the fact that priests do this too. But in Western countries, that sort of behavior is shunned, and illegal. Violators are put into jail. It looks like this is completely acceptable in Islam. Please explain!

Last night I went out and came home minus my phone, it was quite expensive and to be honest I was really gutted when I woke up this morning. However, just a minute ago a lady rang up my husband to tell me that she had found it and is returning it too me!!!!!!! What a kind person, she even rang my dad-lol!

So my question is this, have you ever found something and returned it to the owner?
or have you ever lost something and had it returned to you?

When a client walks in, the lawyer shows him the moon and the stars and lies blatantly that he will win the case for him, then he gets adjournments and lies about them, then he misses some some procedures and processes and lies about them, he gets in touch with the opponents lawyer and lies to him that he has aces up his sleeves and scares him and makes adjustments with him and lies to his client that the opponents lawyer has some aces up his sleeves, lies to the judge, lies to his wife, lies to his tax man, lies to his friends, lies to his relatives and lies to his own self. But he lives by lying. He bribes the judge to lie and give a favourable judgement, judge lies and inspite of taking bribe, gives a favourable judgement to the opponent because that lawyer has given more brive, this lawyer lies to the client and rises all his limbs in utter helplessness, client goes to higher court with the help of another lying lawyer, after another circle of lying, he may get or not.

They say, 'Honesty is the best policy.' Sadly, it seems to be but a policy that hardly, if ever, gets implemented! Everywhere you look in the society, dishonesty seems to be ruling the roost. The cutthroat attitude of people is willing to sacrifice honesty in the altar of monetary gains. So, is honesty really heading the dinosaur's way?

After a long and wretched flight
That stretched from daylight into night,
Where babies wept and tempers shattered
And the plane lurched and whiskey splattered
Over my plastic food, I came
To claim my bags from Baggage Claim

Around, the carousel went around
The anxious travelers sought and found
Their bags, intact or gently battered,
But to my foolish eyes what mattered
Was a brave suitcase, red and small,
That circled round, not mine at all.

I knew that bag. It must be hers.
We hadnt met in seven years!
And as the metal plates squealed and clattered
My happy memories chimed and chattered.
An old man pulled it off the Claim.
My bags appeared: I did the same.

My father makes fun of his mother and father-in-law all the time. I know its natural for people not to like their in-laws but come on, my grandmother is 88 and my grandfather is 92. Even though I don't agree with everything they say, I still believe people should respect there elders. What should I do in this situation?

Is it worth visiting?
Is there a lot to see and do there at this time?
What will the weather be like?
Will there be fun and vibrancy?
What kind of atmosphere does the city have?
If I go at this time, can I meet fellow young travellers?
