I am 27 years old and currently make $50-55k. I have a college degree, am in sales, and obviously expect to make quite a bit more money in the future than I do now. My wife contributes to a teacher pension fund, which is nice for her (and me too). My company has a Simple IRA (instead of 401k) that matches dollar for dollar up to 3% of my income. Right now I am only saving the 3% and need to improve that. I'd appreciate any expert advice from somebody who knows about investing. I always hear that the Roth IRA is the way to go because you have already paid the tax...but I feel I may net more money paying the tax as I withdraw in retirement. Thanks for any help!

Clinton dies and of course goes straight to hell. When he gets there the Devil greets him and offers him three ways to spend eternity. They go to the first door and the Devil shows him Newt Gingrich, hanging from the ceiling with fire under him. Bill says "Oh no! That’s not how I want to spend all eternity......." They go to the second door. The Devil shows him Rush Limbaugh chained to the wall being tortured. Bill says "Oh no! Not for me!"

They go to the third door. Behind it is Ken Starr, chained to the wall with Monica Lewinsky on her knees giving him a BJ. Bill thinks and decides, "Hmmm, looks okay to me. I’ll take it." The Devil then says, "Good. Hey Monica, you’ve been replaced

* Star it if you like :)

This is my 3rd baby and can't believe I'm asking this. Today I'm 37wks and during my vaginal exam my MW said that my cervix is anterior and soft. Is this a good indication my body is getting ready for labor...?

Once again, I'm sitting here
Tapping on the keys
I've put the chicken in the pan
Mixed veg? Or will it be peas?

A glass of wine or maybe two
Who knows, let's wait and see
It's dinner time in my house
Boring, or is it just me?

Rene Descartes, the famous French mathematician and philosopher, pondered how something tangible (the body) could interact with something intangible (the mind). The interrelationship of the flesh and the spirit is subsequently intertwined by a Creator. This is perhaps one of the greatest dialogues in realm of philosophy and religion. What is your viewpoint?

Islam claims to be a religion of peace, and I do believe many Muslims do practice that. It also seems pretty obvious that the US government is making the religion itself out to be much worse than it really is. All personal views aside, the war in Iraq needs a scapegoat.

Could it be that the Christian majority, and those they've put into office, see Islam as a possible threat in the future? Obviously some of the propaganda was to bolster support for the war in Iraq, but could the agenda be two-fold?

What happens if Christianity loses the majority in the US?

Besides racial ones, what prejudice(s) do you have? Have you ever tried to overcome them? If so, how? Were you successful?
If you've not tried to overcome them, would you consider it? Why or why not?
Just curious - and thanks in advance for your answers!

I saw this documentary on people who take their cats to Cat Shows. The cats DID NOT look happy. They were being held in weird positions, being brushed over and over, given baths every week, travelled by car and plane.

I never realized this happened, but I felt horrible for the cats. The cats were biting the judges and running away.

Did anyone see that documentary? I think it is kind of cruel.

This is the party that is tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime. Yet has anyone seen any evidence of this? We hear more about gun crime, violent crime, murders are so common now they dont even appear on even local news.
When will this so called government stand up and really tackle crime and yob behavouir?
Now they are hiding behind climate change and the evironment. Well I have a better idea, before you go and balls that up why dont you solve all the other huge mistakes you have done in the past 10 years, starting with crime.
Oh I know why, that will cost money where as you can tax the arrse off us and say its all for the environment instead, and you can waste that money on building new holding centres for immigrants.
Immigrants we so desperatly need as there is only 1.65 million people unemployed and over 2 million who are on Incapacity benefits
Why is this government so utterly incompetent, I am angry that they do nothing about crime but its us who suffers.

My cousin's thinking about going into the medical field after graduating from high school, and she's wondering what the prospects are for Taiwanese doctors in general. She has been completely born and bred and educated in Taiwan, and probably won't do any studying abroad. She'll most likely go to university in Taiwan. What is the average salary for a med student just out of Taiwanese med school who wants to work in Taiwan? Thanks!

There are rules to this:

1.) You MUST give reasons for your nomination
2.) It's FINE to nominate yourself, as long as rule 1 is not broken.

I'm just curious as to whether there is any real vileness in these temptresses.

I'll let it go to voting, too. That way I know there's no single judge, who might be biased.
