Mexican trucks are not safe, there have been studies that show they have not been safe time and time again. And the facts stand that I don't remember EVER in the USA history of having THREE semi's involved in one accident where the weather never played a part. How much will our insurances go up because of the danger of being on the roads?

How many people are going to die at the hands of these trucks? My guess many, MANY more than what happened on 9/11.

He's not putting up monster number this year but still he's average is still above 320 avg./ 30+ HRs./ sittin on 95 RBIs, hopefully he'll get 100+. Not to mention he's been playing hurt for most of the year. If he had baserunners getting on before him or protection after him he'd have better numbers.

This describes, the increase of Latino culture in the US, and Islamic culture in France and UK. Why are so many people wanting to throw the prejudice card out at someone, who doesn't enjoy the changes in one's society. By this I mean, when certain cultural influence's affect the way of a nation's previous society. Why is that considered racist? Is it because I enjoy the culture I grew up with, and don't want to lose it? Does that make me an ignorant and biased individual to want to preserve "my" culture? No offense to Latino's/Muslims but if I wanted to live in a highly Latino/Islamic influenced society. I would move to one. Why are so many people disgusted at the idea of assimilation? I enjoy the nation of Turkey, and I am learning about Turkey's culture and it's history. I am essentially trying to adopt the culture of Turkey, because if I want to be Turkish, what right do I have to tell Turks how to speak or pray, or live? Does Pro-Assimilation make someone prejudice? I think not.

I know about the Print Screen button, and paste it into something like Paint or whatnot. However, if a picture on the Internet is RIGHT CLICK PROTECTED. Is there any other way around getting the picture save on your computer without changing the format of the picture.
I do not want nor would try to repost the picture on another web site. I would just like to collect these certain pictures for myself.

I use Mozilla Firefox. Is there any other browser that would allow me to save the picture? Most of the pictures are on this web site through fotki.com.

inheritance based on the science of genetics. He identified heterozygous individuals for flower color that had two alleles (one r=recessive white color allele and one R=dominant red color allele). When these individuals where mated, 3/4 of the ofsprings where observed to have red flowers and 1/4 had white flowers.
We assume that each parent is equally likely to give either of the two alleles and that, if either one of two of the alleles in a pair is dominant (R), the offspring will have red flowers.
a) What is the probability that an offspring in this mating has at least one dominant allele?
b) What is the probabolity that an offspring has at least one recessive allele?
c) What is the probability that an offspring has one recessive allele, given that the offspring has red flowers?

I want to install bead board over the nasty, plastic faux marble walls in my bathroom. I do not think any amount of priming and painting would be able to adhere to this material - I've never even seen it before. There are joints where it meets that would show through paint too, so I am going to install bead board over it. It seems like the simplest solution.

How do I do this? Do they sell it at Home Depot or Lowe's? Should I make a pattern to cut the boards out with or simply measure? Please Help, I can't stand the plastic walls anymore!!!

...yet most fundamental Christians believe that baptism is not essential for salvation. Why was Christ then baptized considering we are all sinners? How can Christians justify this belief?
