I have eight months before I turn thirteen and I want to do everything that you can or should only do when you are an official child. Also they shouldn't just be stupid things (like streaking) they should be things that I will be proud of. Any suggestions would be helpful.

God knows what each and every person is thinking so is it really necessary to say prayers (by an individual) out loud?

If it is because "he cheated," he didn't. When he allegedly took "the cream" and "the clear" those substances were NOT against the rules of the game. Are you also calling for all "cheaters" to be treated the same way?

If it is because "what he did was illegal" do you treat Babe Ruth the same way? Babe Ruth ingested MANY illegal substances between 1920-1933 during the U.S. period of alcohol prohibition.

Do you know anyone that has ever taken Viagra, Ritalin, Prozac, Red Bull, Adderall, Ambien, ASPIRIN? Those are ALL performance enhancers. ANYTHING that alters your body chemistry other than food and water can enhance your bodies performance. You may not be a pro athlete... but if it's OK for you or your friends to do it, but you pile on Barry Bonds, face the facts: YOU are a hypocrite.

... the central tenet of Christianity is a belief in Jesus as the Son of God and the path to Heaven. Yet, Judaism explicitly rejects the notion of Jesus as the Son of God/messiah and it was, in fact, Jews that sentenced Jesus to die on the cross.

I'm *not* anti-semitic. In fact, my question has nothing to do with my feelings for or against either group. This just confuses me.

... that accepts the fact that everyone has to have their own beliefs, and nobody is stupid for believing / belonging to a religion / not being religious? I'm tired of insults and i dont understand why people have to be so agressive (is it the fact that we are all annonymous here?) I dont really care what you believe in, and i am sure it fits you and i will never call you names for being different than me. If there are people who think the same way, i'd love to hear their opinions

I´ve seen a report on TV some years ago. It was about an island in eastern Canada. A deep and large shaft has been dug straight downwards into the ground there. I forgot too much of it. If I remember right, this shaft was estimated to be about two hundred years old.
Can someone tell me the name and location of that island? And did they find out a bit more about the origin of that shaft in the meanwhile, or is it still a big mystery?
Thank you in advance!

Police: Fake Cop Targets Immigrants

POSTED: 3:27 pm CDT August 8, 2007


HOUSTON -- A man was arrested, accused of impersonating a police officer and pocketing thousands of dollars from unsuspecting illegal immigrants, officials told KPRC Local 2 Wednesday.

Jose Luis Montes Jr., 24, was apprehended on Aug. 2 and charged with impersonating a police officer, felony theft and unlawfully carrying a weapon.

Investigators said Montes targeted immigrants who were presumed to be in the United States illegally. He wore a badge, gun and bulletproof vest when he approached them and offered to get their immigration documents processed for a fee, according to authorities.


The victims paid between $10,000 and $30,000, police said.

Investigators want other potential victims to come forward.

Montes is Hispanic, about 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighs 160 pounds. He has short black hair, a mustache and goatee, and has a scar on his left eyebrow.

In the 2004 election 40% of Hispanics voters voted for Bush. As one of the articles show the Republicans have lost a some what large percentage of those to the Democrats , more than likely because they were offended by there stance on immigration. Currently the most popular presidential candidate among Hispanic voters in Hilary Clinton (59%). Historically the Republicans need at least 30% of the Hispanic vote to win the election. As you can clearly read in the first article 11% of Hispanics identify themselves as Republicans. 42 % of Hispanics identify themselves as Democrats. And 39% consider themselves independent.

So what can we make of this?

How can you tell when to use "who" or "whom"?

when using quotations like the one i used earlier, should the question mark be out of the quotes, or within?

The teacher's enthusiasm and obvious passion for the subject inspired students who had never before been interested in Shakespeare. ^why do we use who instead of what here?

when in this sentence, its considered incorrect...

When the hometown crowd realized that its team was about to lose the game, they started to leave the stadium.
^its incorrect to use "they" instead of "it".

I have seen a lot of questions on here about the "coyotes" that cross people. Here is the deal: There are 2 types. The first type you pay in advance and you usually get brought in on a semi-truck, or in a boat or something similar.

The other group of "coyotes" are more like kidnappers. They take people that are trying to cross illegally at gun point and taking everything they have and holding them "ransom". They rape and beat them, threaten to kill them if they don't come up with x money. I have heard of them taking people out to the desert and the victim never come back.
The people that are crossing are nearly always "sponsored' by friends, family members, or businesses. Coyotes get 1/2 of their fee when the leave, the other 1/2 when they arrive with their passenger.

The "planned" coyote costs 2-3 K. The "ransom" coyote tries to assess how much you are worth. Usually charges a lot more.

Do you agree that we should "throw the book" at the coyotes for risking peoples live
