The reason for the question is this: I have a car with a 1.8 and one with a 2.3. If I travel at 65 mph, the 1.8 runs at about 2500 rpm and the 2.3 runs at about 3000 rpm. I just figured the bigger engine would utilize lower rpm, not the other way.

I have been with my guy for a 1 1/2 yrs now and lately he seems more distant and less interested. Although he has a busy life as a single parent, up until about 4 mos ago he was sweet, complimentry and even mentioned marriage and future plans. Now I seem to be at the bottom of his priority list.Believe me, I have reciprocated to adding spark to our relationship, but now it seems to be fizzing out and I'm stressed about it. He doesn't seem to care much about my suble hints of disappointment and concern.Instead has buried himself in home improvement projects. I would like to think that he is preparing for our future, but I'm not so sure about that now.What do you think guys. Is this just a mans way of pulling away or what?

Why is it that republican and religious and secular conservatives continue make family values an election issue. The issue of family values and morality was ONE of the hallmark reasons for the Republican take-over of congress and it was also used as a theme during Bush’s first run for office.

Read the list of “hypocrites” below and respond whether or not you think that family values was/is a “SMOKE SCREEN” to win favor and votes


POPULAR SCANDALS


1. Senator Larry Craig, recently pleaded guilty to lued homosexual acts in an Airport. He still defiantly claims that he is not gay.

2. Mark Foley, had phone sex and indecent conversations with male pages.

3. George W. Bush, Republican president, accused in a criminal complaint and lawsuit of raping Margie Schoedinger, who later committed suicide. Accused by Tammy Phillips, a former stripper quoted in the National Enquirer in 2000 saying she had an affair with Bush that had ended in 1999

4. Senator David Vitter (R-La) who ran a hard-core platform on traditional family values, name was found on a Madams list. He told his constituents that it was a “private issue” and to leave him alone.

5. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Republican governor, had sex with a 16 year old when he was 28.

6. Joe Scarborough, former Republican Congressman, currently a conservative talk show host. Resigned his congressional seat abruptly to spend more time with his family, amidst allegations of an affair. His intern, Lori Klausutis, was soon after found dead in his office. The medical examiner, who had his license revoked in Missouri for falsifying information in an autopsy report, and suspended in Florida for six years, ruled the case an accident, after giving conflicting information about her injuries. He said he lied about them because "The last thing we wanted was 40 questions about a head injury."

7. John E. Peterson, Congressman (R-Pa), accused of sexual harassment and creation of a hostile work environment by six women. Peterson has refused to admit a crime, saying only "I may have been an excessive hugger."

8. Henry Hyde, Judge who oversaw Clinton's impeachment proceedings, prominent opponent of reproductive rights, who had an extramarital affair with a woman who was married and had three children, during the course of which she and her husband were divorced.

9. Newt Gingrich, married three times. Gingrich campaign worker Anne Manning admitted that she gave Newt oral sex while he was still married to his first wife. Informed one wife he was filing for divorce while she was in the hospital recovering from cancer treatments

10. Richard A. Dasen Sr., Republican benefactor of conservative Christian groups, convicted of sexual abuse of children, promotion of prostitution and several counts of solicitation, enough to add up to a sentence of 126 years in prison


Conservative Personalities and Figure Scandals

1. Paul Crouch Televangelist, Former President of Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN). Paid $425,000 in hush money in an attempt to cover up a gay affair.
2. Ted Haggard, popular conservative pastor who advised Bush on Family Values issues was outed by a male prostitute who also alleged that he gave Haggard drugs.
3. Rush Limbaugh, triple-divorcee
4. Bill O'Reilly Right-wing conservative talk show host on Fox News, sued for sexual harassment by his producer.
5. Dr. Laura Schlessinger, right wing conservative radio host. Promotes family values, estranged from her mother, opposes birth control, has had her tubes tied, espouses saving oneself for marriage, admits to having had sex before she was married, opposes adultery, has committed adultery while she was married, and has slept with a married man, opposes divorce, is divorced and remarried, has posed for nude photos which are available online.


There are many, many, many more. I know that I am going to be accused of being repub-coserv-basher. I am not, I know the democrats have just as many scandals if not more. However, I think that the whole PLATFORM OF CONSERVATIVE FAMILY VALUES IS A DISINGENIOUS strategy to rally votes and to swing elections. THIS LIST DEMONSTRATES THE FACT THAT NO ONE PRACTICES WHAT THEY PREACH!!!
I also believe that we are all human and everyone makes mistakes, but it is VERY HYPOCRITICAL to impose ideas that these “cultural-icons” don’t keep!
(((What are your thoughts???)))))))

Let's say your child made a stupid mistake (they murdered someone.) As a parent, how long would you stand by and watch your child be tortured and punished for this crime? If you were given the power to do ANYTHING you wanted, would you save them after 20 years of being whipped and burned daily? Would you rescue them after 30 years? How about 50 years? A thousand years? A million?

Would you watch them get punished forever?

Would you... could you, stand by idly while your child screamed in pain, begging forgiveness, apologizing for their mistake over and over, when you had it within your power to free them?

What parent would do this to a child?

Did you know that there is a new type of breast cancer that is called Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC)?? This is a type of breast cancer that's found without a lump, but the most classic symptoms are: rapid increase in breast size, reddness, skin hot to the touch, persistant itching, and thickening of breast tissue. If you have any of these symptoms PLEASE visit your doctor immediately! Most physicians have never had a patient with this type of cancer, and even the cancer centers didn't know about it, but I was just e-mailed a video clip about 5 women who had it and were told that it was probably a mosquito bite. One girl was 16 and had it and she died. She was too embarrassed to tell her mom that her breast looked "funny". If any of you would like to see that clip, please let me know and I will e-mail it to you. Women everywhere need to be alerted to this info.

Anyone know anything else about this cancer?

DALY CITY, Calif. -- One of the biggest sources of political donations to Hillary Rodham Clinton is a tiny, lime-green bungalow that lies under the flight path from San Francisco International Airport.
It isn't obvious how the Paw family is able to afford such political largess. Records show they own a gift shop and live in a 1,280-square-foot house that they recently refinanced for $270,000. William Paw, the 64-year-old head of the household, is a mail carrier with the U.S. Postal Service who earns about $49,000 a year, according to a union representative. Alice Paw, also 64, is a homemaker. The couple's grown children have jobs ranging from account manager at a software company to "attendance liaison" at a local public high school. One is listed on campaign records as an executive at a mutual fund.

The Paws' political donations closely track donations made by Norman Hsu, a wealthy New York businessman

Ok, So I have a 6 month old Eastern Painted turtle.Two days ago I started school so I can't keep his light on during the day because my mom calls it a "fire hazzard." I feel so bad and to make things worse, his UVB bulb quit producing the rays, and I won't be able to go get him a new one until saturday due to my busy schedule.He is still growing, but the very tip of his shell is flimsy (not good) and he is showing signs of pyramiding.I will admit I gave into his adorable begging, but when I first started noticing the signs of pyramiding I put my foot down and now he gets 3 pellets a day, and romane lettuce floating in his tank everyday which is gone by the time I get home.He has fish in with him, but shows no interest in them at all.Recently his belly started turning from yellow to pink, which concerned me about Septicemia.We took him to the vet and they did a blood test and everything is fine, now it is BLOOD red and he's not basking when the lights are on(he's not shy), what do i do?
