I know from personal experience that weath doesnt necesarily equate to intelligience and vice versa. So, doesnt it stand to reason that many government positions are being wasted on the mentally unfortunate?

You dump an avalanche of facts on them and they dismiss it as propaganda. To them, even though human causation of global warming remains unproven, you're anti-science if you don't jump on the bandwagon; even though revenue is skyrocketing, the tax cuts were a bad idea; even though the BLS data is clear that everyone has benefited from the strong economy over the last five and twenty five years, they insist not only that "only the rich benefited" but that somehow that came at someone else's expense - - - as if, if my boss came in to my office and gave me a $5K raise, that's 1.6 thousandths of a cent less for everyone else. No amount of Econ 101 can convince them that it isn't a zero sum game, that even if only the already-rich HAD benefited (despite all the data to the contrary), THAT would not be a "bad" thing because it wouldn't have come at anyone's expense.

If the sky needs to be green for a Lib's conclusion to be right, the Lib will insist that the sky is green.

1. Cease all usage of fossil fuels and risk economic collapse.

2. Adjust to Climate Change by adopting technological innovations.

3. Do nothing and suffer the consequences.

Is there any other choice?

I m getting a ten gallon tank and i will keep it in my room. (courtesy of my mother) it will weigh about 100 gallons. i have to fill my other 5 gallon up outside with a hose, that is what i usually do before i carry it upstairs. should i just first set up the tank where i want it to be and then go outside and just keep filling up a bucket? and taking trips upstairs until it is done? is there a faster way to do it? i m in no rush, i m just wondering. and also, is it okay to keep it without a hood? or a cover? i m not getting any type of fish that jumps. i have seen them without a hood and they seem fine.

Please answer the question and give your reasoning, and if you could I would appreciate it if you indicate whether you tend to vote more Democratic or more Republican.

Thank you

About a year ago, my boyfriend and I got engaged; we immediately set the date for late October 2007. The night that we announced our engagement to our parents, I excitedly called many of my friends to tell them the good news. Along the way, I mentioned to a few of my closer girl friends that I wanted them to be bridesmaids, including a girl I've been okay friends with for a few years. In the year since then, we've hardly spoken to her at all...or rather,she's hardly spoken to us. If I call her, she only talks for a few minutes, and never calls me back; if I comment her on MySpace or Facebook she doesn't respond;and all in all, we've grown apart immensely. At the same time,my sister and I,who were never very close before, have gotten very close and talk very often. I would really like to replace the mutual friend with my sister,but I don't know if there's any tactful way to handle the situation other than just accepting it. Am I stuck with this fair-weather friend as a bridesmaid?

I have a car that is paid off. I know a family that is in desparate need of a car. The car has a value of around 8k. The family could not afford to make payments. If I give them the car, can I use the gift as a tax write off?

that a guys "size" DOES matter??

thats just as shallow isnt it? most girls will respond with "breast size doesnt effect sexual pleasure" but in reality yes it DOES. its stimuli.

now i know i probably am coming off as a guy who is "Small". but im not. in fact i a big. and alot of girls know this and try to hit on me instead of a friend of mine or something. i think its sad that women are that shallow these days. and even though i meet the standard for a "size queen" i would NEVER date one.

Do you think people can just accept that there is a mutual faith in christ and the rest is just details that may not be relevant to salvation.
