I personally feel that the EU is a despotism run by self serving bereuxcrats who have no interest in Democracy.
The structure of the EU today is thus :
A nation elects a govt, that govt elect their MEP (of which the people have no say) who then goes to Brussels and approve legislation that their nation will never hear about untill they are forsed to adhere to it...
Now this doesn't seem altogether fair. Mostly when foreign nations who have no knowladge of another nation have such power to decide how their live.

IF and this is a SUPER IF!!! the EU is ever going to work, it is going to have to restructure its political protocol and allow for a more democratic process.
...but that is really a longshot.

opinions?

Lawyers should never ask grandma a question if they aren't prepared for the answer.
In a trial, a small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, an elderly grandmother to the stand. He approached her and asked; "Mrs. Jones, do you know me?" She responded, "Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a young boy, and frankly, you're a big disappointment to me. You lie, cheat on your wife, manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you never will amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you."

The lawyer was stunned! Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?"

So I'm pregnant, and this is my first child. I'm having my kid at home only because I feel a lot more comfortable with it. Plus I'm going to breastfeed and use cloth diapers. When I tell people, they get kinda harsh and talk to me like I'm some barbarian who's going to eat my offspring at birth. It's getting old, and I would like to hear from other women and get some support here. I mean, women have been birthing way before any type of medical intervention came about, and we've made it this far already right?

I want to know when, how and why life originated in a far past. Life came to be from one single cell who learned to divide itself. But how did it learn to do so? God created life from void or was it evolution?

Hey! My brother and I were fixing up our house today [while our parents were gone] and we got some latex paint on the molding!!

What should I do?
Should I wait for it to dry then wipe it off?

I know that water would be a bad idea because it'd just get rubbed into the wood.

Any suggestions?,

If a powerful country were to invade a weaker country, overthrow their government and annex them into their nation, would that be considered imperialism or some sort of "forced unification"? Now keep in mind, the newly annexed country would be allowed to vote and elect representatives to serve in the conquering country's legislature, thereby having a voice in the government.

And after you decide whether that is imperialism or unification, tell me whether it would be a good thing or a bad thing.

What do you hope to accomplish in this life and how do you plan to get there? If you believe in it, what goals do you have for your afterlife? I know some will say "Heaven, duh!" lol, but each faith has its own ideas about the afterlife.

For me:
This life - I want to concentrate on my family to make them role models not only for Muslims, but for others all around them. To teach them unconditional respect and tolerance and to seek out knowledge from every crevace they can reach. Of course I will have to be a role model in turn for them, so I'll have to put these qualities into action as well.
Afterlife - I do hope to attain an afterlife in heaven, next to the greatest men and women in earth's history, to enjoy its bounties, and to see how history played out before we began recording it. To bask in the beauty of God and His messengers, and to learn firsthand from them, their accounts on this earth. Of course for that I'll have to utilize the time I have here and remember do my best.
