I have heard that such a symbol is proudly worn by the freedom fighter of Chechnya against the Russian Army, and I was wondering what are the requirements for a young Chechnya fighter to be able to wear such a proud symbol, and is the Wolf Symbol considered the same as the Green Beret worn by the US Special Forces, or the Recon Badge for the US Marines? Please provide details if possible, I am very curious.

Thank you for taking the time to answer this question!

I''m still a 'newbie' on here, and I've mostly posted in the News category because I like current affairs and I assumed it would be a place to get different perspectives on issues.
What I've actually found in there is the most vicious set of people you could ever come into contact with. They're currently wearing their 'I am a bully T shirts' and actually having fun attacking another member who is caring for a terminally ill child. What I find all the more bewildering is that those participating all claim to be mothers themselves.
I don't know why I'm posting about it, other than I feel greatly upset by it, I've endured a lot of racism over the years and I suppose when I see another human being made fun of and her situation turned into a cause for humour I feel helpless, not only to say something helpful, but because I don't actually understand what drives people to act like rabid dogs
Any insight or advice would be appreciated

So magic has to be real. Come on how can nothing be made into something....how can thier even be nothing!!. I mean magic is makeing things appear out of no where.....I mean thinking about it...if the unverse wasnt real or w/e..what would take its place just blackness?? Thats something or a place...how was that blackness made. Who created it? How did magic make it happen though??? WHERE DID THE MAGIC COME FROM? And if the magic did come from somewhere then where did somewhere come FROM?


Ok so i am just rambling here but isnt it possible that there is some type of magic....or something idk, its really triipy to think about. Same thing with god...who made god, who made the person who made god, who made the person that made the person that made god, who made the person that made the person that supposedly made god? And so on and so fourth.....SCIENCE CAN AND NEVER WILL BE ABLE TOO EXPLAIN THIS!!!.

...example: I like it when people talk about themselves...I enjoy hearing other people tell me their "life" story. I "like" people who talk a lot, I like people who don't worry about my needs, I like people who have a "ribald" and "fearless" sense of humor, I like people who light-heartedly insult me, or question my motives...

So if I applied the "Golden Rule" to these things...I would run into serious trouble, because what I like people to "do unto" me, is "Not" what they would like done "unto" them...

Can you think of a similar situation in your own life where the "Golden Rule" does not apply...? (where I grew up, light-hearted insults and sarcasm was a sign of affection, and so I like it when people are light-heartedly insulting or sarcastic to me...)

A trucker who has been out on the road for two weeks stops at a brothel outside Atlanta.

He walks straight up to the Madam, drops down £500 and says: "I want your ugliest woman and a grilled cheese sandwich!"

The Madam is astonished. "But sir, for that kind of money you could have one of my finest ladies and a three-course meal."

The trucker replies: "Listen darlin', I'm not horny - I'm homesick."

I'm worried about my boyfriend's health. He is in his early thirties and has been an insulin dependent diabetic since he was five. He is about 40 or 50 lbs overweight. His blood sugar has been consistently high in the mornings (around 250.) He just had a scare with a foot wound and his eye doctor has found the first signs of diabetic retinopathy.

He's a quiet guy and doesn't discuss all of this openly with me. I know what is going on as far as all the medical issues because I ask him pointedly about it. I just don't know what he is personally feeling. I've told him that I think he should find a better doctor and start eating better. I've actually begged and implored him to do so. I think the biggest problem is his diet. He eats a large volume of food daily. I think he needs a daily caloric limit set. I am currently seeing a dietician myself and think at least a session or two would be so great for him to set a diet. How do I get him to work on his health?

If it is then why would the people in the middle ages do it? Why did they do it now and we dont? Why does it seem so disgusting to our generation and not way back then? I guess they did not know that their child might be born with special needs and a bigger chance of getting hit with a desiase.

Thanks for your input!

My father bought what he thought was a horseradish. The leaves look right but the flowers are deep yellow, almost daisylike and on very long stems. As far as I know all varieties of horseradish have small white flowers, so... Any ideas on what it actually is? Thanks. (No image, camera isn't working.)

I have another question (Sam J, perhaps you can add this to your calculations of how many questions have been asked)

What exactly is the fund for? I know that it's in a PLC so we will prob never find out but does anyone have any ideas? or even know what they originally intended it to be used for?

You don't need 1million for a private investigator, it isn't being used as reward money because J.K Rowling is offering that, as far as I know people don't pay the police for help, they claim they are not using it to pay for accomodation or any personal use...so how is the fund actually helping to find their daughter in any way? or is it just sitting in the bank collecting a nice chunk of interest?
