If a man is on the street with a gun and is threatening a woman with it, a police officer will shoot him dead if he has the chance to save the life of that one woman.

Yet our government can't cause pain - without killing, to one terrorist to save the lives of 500,000 Americans in a nuclear attack??? Somebody has to explain this to me.

And before you libs start, I am talking about EXTREME SITUATIONS ONLY. Such as we capture a terror suspect involved in a huge plot against us that's going to occur within hours. This scenerio hasn't even happened yet in America in real life - but it could.

How can you liberals honestly remind us of the death toll to American troops or to Iraqis over there in Iraq every single day, but at the same time you would choose to let 500,000 Americans die in one attack in order to spare one terrorist scumbag some pain. I don't get it.

Hi,

I'm a Life Scout, and I'm going to be starting on my Eagle Scout project soon. I know what I want to do. What I plan on doing is to send packages to the soldiers deployed. I've read other stories about people doiing the same thing. Problem is though it wants some signature from the organization, group, etc I'm benefitting. Since I plan on sending serveral different people packages, it doesn't make sense and also, I'm not benefitting on particular group of people.

So, how would I find a loop hole around this?

Thanks for reading, and please don't respond if you want to just harass me for trying to be a good person and in a good organization.

I've read on here that Down Syndrome sufferers usually have a higher IQ than average and they are smarter than what people think. If they are extremely intelligent than why do they have such facial deformities?

What do you think of this? Does this make it clear that FGM and honor killings are not part of Islam?

"Yet there is a resounding silence when the issue being raised is Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), honor killings, forced marriages, the unequal application of hadd punishments on women, or the denial of education to girls and women. All of these wrongs are perpetrated on women in the name of Islam. While it is true that many of these violations occur across cultural and religious boundaries, the only action often taken by conservative Muslims is a condemnation of the action because it is "cultural" and not Islamic. Meanwhile, women continue to be murdered and little girls continue to be mutilated.

This is not to say that conservative Muslims are always silent or keep their opposition at the vocal level. In Jordan, conservative Muslims joined with liberals to rally for stricter punishments for men who kill in the name of honor.

Socrates basically stated that the body and the entire physical world is flawed and any actual knowledge you try to get from it would (as a consequence) also be flawed. and that the only way to reach true knowledge is to use only your thought to get to the "archetypal" world. the concept or idea of things, wich, as oposed to the physical world, is perfect.

now, in my point of view: Every bit of knowledge by means of thought we get, is derived from an idea we already had in our minds. and those ideas we already had are pretty much irrational, or based in the physical plane. like some dualist philosophies in anthropology that derive from religious concepts (like most works in middle age).

being that the case, unless you get to the root; The basic idea of the universe (wich is what philosophy is all about), without any kind of relation to any pre-given concept you had. ANY and ALL knowledge is fundamentally flawed

if you have other ideas you could share them aside from answering

I think it fair to say the majority of that percentage believes in religous dogma. Looks like Young Earth Creationsist are running rampant nowdays. You would have figured the theory of evolution would have exterminated this primitive species. What is it with supestituous people are they like cockroaches or something. Now matter how far we come we just cannot seem to get rid of them? Christians are very smart people, so we know it`s not a matter of intelligence. Then what is it? The fear of Death? Wanting to believe in something? If you ask a theist if they believe in Zeus or Thor or the Native American Rain, Earth, and Sun Gods - they will be quick to tell you those Gods were ancient superstitions. Why don`t they realize that Christianity is just one of these old ancient superstitions? What`s really going on here?

I have a column of cells, each row is filled with a url.

In the first row, the cell looks like www.domain.com/name/a.html

In the second row, the cell looks like www.domain.com/name/b.html

I need 26 rows so that row 3 ends in /c.html, row 4 ends in /d.html, all the way to row 26 which ends in /z.html

I highlighted the first two cells and then dragged the mouse, hoping it would autofill, but it didn't work correctly.

If it was just one column of data, I would do it manually, but I have about a large number of columns that follow the same pattern and would really appreciate any help I could get to speed up the process.

Thank you

I know a lot of people have asked this, but I thought I would just put it out there. I am a rising senior in high school and have a cumulative GPA of 3.7. I have only taken one AP class (AP US History), but my school does not offer that many to juniors, so this is actually more than most juniors take. I got a 1310 on my SAT I's, but I plan on retaking them and I am almost sure I will get at least a 1380. I have not taken my SAT II's yet but have been practicing and I am sure I will do well on those. I have 200+ community service hours and will recieve an award for recieving that many. I am president of FCCLA and Science Club and Vice President of Ecology Club. I am also in French Club, NHS, Naional French Honor Society, Peer Helpers, and Medical Club. This summer, I currently am part of a youth advisory council to create a health program for intercity youth, help to raise funds for the Uganda Rural Fund and am in the Book club at the library. Also, I am African American.

The other night I went to bed and forgot to remove my earrings, I do this often. Next morning I took a shower with both earrings still in my ears, I do this often. Got out of the shower with both earrings still in my ears, wrapped a towel around my wet hair. Then I did my usual routine - dress, make up and hair. I was getting ready to run some errands, went into the bedroom to get my purse and spotted my earring on the floor. Checked my earlobes, and yes, one earring was missing. The earring on the floor was the match to the other, which was still in my ear, but the earring still had the back on it. I have had many earrings fall out, but I find the post in one place and the back in another. This time both were in place, together - connected, the back was on the post. Now I know that I have an intelligent dog, but she's not that good! We have had some "unique" things happen before, but this was really odd. Any thoughts?

I had a hysterectomy in Feb. I have been irritable and moody since about June.

I do not wannt synthetic hormones, I want natrual ones. I prefer making my ow combination or a good one, that is not blasted by the company as the be all end all.

I did keep my overies, but it seems that I am one of the few that still need the hormone replacements.

I have been crying a lot lately, and cannot handle stress like I could a year ago.

If you need more information, them please ask and I will try to add it.

Thank you ahead of time.
