+ More than 9.25 million people are held in penal institutions throughout the world, mostly as pre-trial detainees (remand prisoners) or as sentenced prisoners. Almost half of these are in the United States (2.19m), China (1.55m plus pre- trial detainees and prisoners in ‘administrative detention’) or Russia (0.87m).

+ The United States has the highest prison population rate in the world, some 738 per 100,000 of the national population, followed by Russia (611), St Kitts & Nevis (547), U.S. Virgin Is. (521), Turkmenistan (c.489), Belize (487), Cuba (c.487), Palau (478), British Virgin Is. (464), Bermuda (463), Bahamas (462), Cayman Is. (453), American Samoa (446), Belarus (426) and Dominica (419).

+ However, more than three fifths of countries (61%) have rates below 150 per 100,000. (The rate in England and Wales - 148 per 100,000 of the national population - is above the mid-point in the World List.)

Last year, when I discovered my good friend/love interest was addicted to nicotine gum for the last nine years, I decided to help him out. He lives in another state, so I had him send his gum to me. I would mail him daily doses in attempt to wean him off the nicotine. We started out with 8 pieces per day, then 7, then 6...you get the picture. I bought the envelopes, stamps, etc. It took me a lot of time to package and address the envelopes and take them to the mail box... But last November, we succeeded and he was off the gum, supposedly. He whined and complained about the side effects of going off the gum the entire time. Anyway, we recently had a spat and he used three pieces of gum, and then I saw online where he has purchased gum again. Gum costs as much as cigarettes and that is one reason we were getting him off the gum. Anyway, my intuition is telling me he never quit the gum in the first place...or else why would he go back on it after being off it nearly a year?

The first 6 people to post ONE phrase that they would like to have listed, will have their phrase listed. ( IT MUST BEGIN WITH THE LETTER ► " K " ◄)
So instead of me making up the phrases.....YOU have a hand in it!!!!
Confused??? You'll see...... It's really quite simple....
After I see the first 6 phrases, I will LIST THEM IN THE ADDED DETAILS....THEN,GO BACK TO MY QUESTION , LOOK AT THE PHRASES AND WRITE A LITTLE STORY THAT MUST INCLUDE THOSE 6 PHRASES.
P.S. I WILL NOT ACCEPT BATHROOM HUMOR OR PROFANITY.
If you are not one of the first 6 responders, you are still invited to write a story and compete. ◄◄ Good luck and have FUN~~~~~~~~~

I mean, Gravel seems cool but he's an underdog for sure... and Edwards, Clinton, and Obama seem to do an awful lot of "tap dancing"...

Not that I'm leaning towards republicans... they aren't fairing much better. The choices are getting slim!

If there are some things, such as Light & Love having an opposite, then can Light exist without Dark and/or LOVE exist without HATE..?

Do you need one for the other to exist?

OK folks. Here's your chance to shine. Let's hear some real insight. Please, no cutsie 2-3 word answers. But some legitimate effort into it. We may all learn something from you!

P.S. I'm not giving Liberals the easy way out. Saying they would re-elect Bush is not an option. However, as a fair minded Conservative, I am more than willing to give Best Answer to a Liberal's answer. I don't favor people who share my views. I want to see scathing insight, and real imagination. Let the contest begin !!

please don't answer like : it's a bunch of B.S., or it's just a fairy tale or story or a cult or anything of the like. I'm a christian and could give you a simple and straightforward answer about what I believe. I just want to see if there is a simple straightforward answer that you could give me about what you don't believe and why.

...then regretted it the next day and seriously thought about stopping payment on your check?

I was at this fund-raiser last night, and wrote a check for $500 because everyone else was giving money and I felt pressure and now I regret it and want to stop payment on my check.

But yet I will be embarrassed if they report to everyone that I stopped payment on my check. It's like I can't win!

Has this ever happened to you? What did you do? What would you do if you were in this situation?
