Today I was driving with my 8 month old baby in the car when I was hit really hard from behind by a white Transit van.

I was so shocked and trying to check my baby was alright - the idiot in the transit came running over shakng his head and going on about "you turned at the last minute, I had no chance of stopping that was all your fault - do you admit it, do you admit it?"

I felt so shocked and intimidated I rang my other half (who worked nearby) to come out and see me and speak to this man, who was desperately trying to force me to admit that I had "turned at the last minute" thereby "causing" him to hit me.

For one thing I didn't turn at the last minute. For another, even if I had done so, if he had been driving at a sensible distance he would not have hit me!

I phoned the company he worked for who were also unhelpful but gave me their insurance.

What is the law about this? My car is totalled as is a pushchair that was in the boot and my baby and I are pretty shocked

I see so many topics on YA stating that the Bush Administration did this wrong, that wrong, all of these things wrong, it is endless. Not even pointing out the things this administration did right, I just want to know of a better strategy in Iraq. This question is a chance for you to validate your complaints.

Is there a better solution to bring about a stable government in Iraq that our administration is not currently doing? I don't think early withdrawl is the best solution since it will leave the young Iraqi government without strong support, and they will be quickly overthrown and replaced with yet another anti U.S. government.

What are your solutions? Please provide reasons on why you believe your solution to be the best solution. This is not a forum to continue slander of our nations leader so don't. What I would like to see is positive moves that this administration or the next can begin to transition into place.

Tom McKenna is a longtime Stuart businessman who speaks only English.

He says that's why he's being kicked out of the storefront on South Dixie Highway where he has run Seacoast Water Care for seven years.

On July 5 — the day after Independence Day — McKenna received a letter from landlord Ivan Munroe telling him to consider another location.

Munroe said in his letter he wants to have "quality tenants serving the Spanish need in the area."

A friend told me this

Bush has just made an executive order saying any protesting of any kind against the Iraq war is illegal so we are standing up and fighting for our rights as americans.

Also Bush has said that if we are attacked again he will be put in charge of all 3 branches of government which means he will be exactly like a dictator.

I'm not a bush lover but How can I tell him its not true?

How did you feel when George HW Bush raised taxes and closed military bases?

My answer:

I was PO'd when he raised taxes, as he had said he wouldn't in his campaign for president, although, let us tell the whole truth shall we? When George Bush Sr. was the president, the Congress was completely ruled by Democrats, and it is they, who insisted on higher taxes. Mr. Bush Sr. vetoed the first bill, written by the Democrats, and voted by the Democrats in Congress to raise our taxes. There was a lot of pressure on Mr. Bush Sr. by Democrats, after the bill returned to the president for the second time, they having voted again that taxes should be raised.
Previously, before 1993, Democrats had been in control of the House and Senate for 40 years. Who will you blame for the extraordinary tax hikes during those 40 years? George Washington? Sorry, he was dead during that time period.
Mr. Bush also didn't close that many military bases. You can give the credit for a weak government to Bill Clinton, his wife, and his hoe, if you want to hear the truth. No President in history has closed as many military bases as did Clinton, or weakened our forces with lack of development, and equipment, as Bill Clinton.
Let's stick blame where it belongs, eh? Tell the truth, and shame the devil.

I will not allow you to deceive the American public with your question. It doesn't tell the truth, and will confuse the un-educated.

There are people out there with more talent and way better lyrics than the ones who sell.
It just seems like you have little white kids buying your album or something. (take that statement how you wanna take it)
Trey Songz has way more talent than chris brown and neyo but people are not into real R&B and Soul.

All these are new but Trey has talent.
Any one who thinks chris and neyo are more talented is stupid or maybe you dont know real R&B.
Trey is just slepted on like many other talented people.
But what Im saying is sells doesnt really measure the amount of talent some1 has. Im just saying they should receive their due in the game.

How could a forgiving god make somebody burn for eternity for earthly sins? Some people say hell is really on earth. Hell might be, being reincarnated as a starving child in Africa or a child laborer in Asia. hmmmm, so many mysteries.

I actually think he benefitted from that collective brain-freeze that assisted the Atlanta pitchers (oddly, nearly exclusively) of calling balls 1-2 feet outside a strike, if the catcher's glove didn't move. (Even announcers would make excuses, and say "he hit the target"). Imagine if even a Ron Guidry or a Jerry Kooseman got those calls for 10 seasons, and played with a team with a bullpen & hitting for that long?

If protestants evolved from catholics, why are there still catholics?



Also, after you finish answering that question, one more thing: If you believe that your answer does NOT apply to humans and monkeys, can you explain why not?
