I'm taking two classes this semester online. All the assignments and tests are done online; I don't have to go to the campus at all. One of the classes is very difficult and so during the tests and quizzes, I rely heavily on my books and notes to get me through. I have an A average in the class so far, but if I didn't use my books/notes during the tests and quizzes, I'd probably be failing the class.

Nobody said the tests were not open book, but for some reason I almost feel like I'm cheating. What do you think? Would you use your book?

Permission to dock the Battleship Iowa in San Francisco as a floating museum to our Navy and the role of the Iowa in World War II ... DENIED.

Permission for the Navy's Blue Angels to participate in an air show over San Francisco Bay ... OPPOSED

Permission for the U.S. Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon to film a recruitment commercial on California Street in San Francisco ... DENIED.

And now this? I am sure that as in all of these instances, I will get some liberal answers attempting to excuse this behavior. Traffic…..safety…. right. Well, at least they are not still spitting on returning soldiers a la Vietnam.

ODE TO R&S

R&S, oh R&S
Your purpose is unique.
You give your users every chance
To turn the other cheek

We gather in this hallowed place -
There are many kinds of us -
We're here for one thing only:
Debate, discourse, discuss

We take no prisoners, have no truck
With users that are slow.
If you can't keep up with R&S
There are places you can go . . .

So R&S, sweet R&S
I hope you'll stay the same.
Violations not withstanding -
I love to play your game.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What do you think, R&S users??

i have been reading a book by Chris Hedges about how and why people accept fundamentalist, extreme, and exclusive religious beliefs (mostly Islamic/Christian sects). Hedges examines the lives of some of the people that both lead and belong to some of more radical religious right and finds a number of common elements in the pre-conversion lives of "believers"; bad childhoods/home life’s, physical/sexual abuse, soured parental relationships, chaotic upbringings, drug/alcohol abuse, regretted abortions, and poverty.

do you think that people that come from these kinds of "broken" pasts are more easily radicalized/proselytized by religious extremists? are you a very religious person? if so, could/would you share what events made you convert to your present religion, and did you experience any of the above listed circumstances? do you think these circumstances shaped your current belief structure?

thank you for your sincere thoughts.

They take absolutely NO personal responsibility for their actions. They want the Government to clothe, feed, educate, evacuate, and give them Advil when they are sick.

PLEASE...we Conservatives think we should do these things for ourselves. We work hard and take pride in our ACCOMPLISHMENTS. We do not look to others to do things we can and SHOULD do for ourselves.

I had a gallbladder operation in Jan. Supposedly to be small operation. In and out. Well when I woke up I felt great went home and that evening my stomach swelled and I was in horrible pain. Spent twelve hours in emergency screaming in pain. The next day in late afternoon my doctor finally ordered me to be opened up again. I didnt know what was wrong till I was entering the operating room. She finally emerged and told me i was only 1% of the population with this extra duct from my liver. apparently the bile was filling in my abdominal cavity and it was the worst pain ever. Apparently my organs could have ceased. What would you do? I had to wear a tube to empty the liquid for weeks after..Would you sue?

My daughters father and i arent together and recently i have been having trouble with his family, mainly his mother, she has called me non stop and made comments to people that i neglect my child just despite me. she knows this is not true and i know that she knows it she is just angry and being childish. they have not given me any financial support nor have they been there for me emotianally through this. they have bashed me constantly and now they wonder why i wont let emma stay w them on the weekends. i am wanting to write them a letter, being very nice and just basically telling them until they help support her financially they will be able to see her and in order for them to get respect u must give respect.

What are the central tenets of atheism, and if they have a "greatest commandment," what is it? For example, arguably, Christianity's is "Love the Lord your God with all of your heart, mind, soul and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself."

I was just curious if this is the norm. I looked at other questions and it seems to be, plus I asked my parents and talked to my friends. I've been in college since the end of August and my roommate is really nice. But we barely talk anymore. We were really close the first and second night we moved in together, but now it seems to have gotten so much more quieter. Plus, I feel like she is always eying me and being curious about what I am doing when I am minding my own business at my desk and my side of the room.
I talked to her about it and told her I was shy and I just run out of things to say and she said it was okay and that she had been really busy lately. But whenever I tried to bond with her, she always bails on me. Like, I figured we'd watch Desperate Housewives together when it premiered and she left. So the next day I just told her that Edie didn't die and she got all weird like, "Don't tell me! *Laugh* I haven't watched it yet!"
