Corporate giant Wal-mart pays employees with minimal wage, as the result most employees are eligible for government assistances (such as: health care, wic, housing, etc.) All these government funded programs comes from our taxes. Are you being double taxed?

Muslims hate Jews and Christians. Israel has 1000 nuclear warheads. Muslim countries are fast aquiring nuclear weaponry. Islamic terroists are unafraid to use them and believe they will die and go to paradise. America has a large Christian Taliban and religion is strong there, the President a born again Christian who claims to hear voices from God. People who believe in rapture look forward to the end of the world.

Will these lunatic Christians, Jews and Muslims understand that we are humans and have evolved and we just don't need this superstitious religious BS no more.

The more uncommon the verse the better. Also, try and use Bible verses that are at least two or three lines.

Yesterday I found out the my boss is looking to hire someone else for my position and fire me. I confronted him about it and he said that he was "not sure yet". I told him that I would stay until they found someone else provided they give me a good reference. He told me that by a general rule they do not do references. Now...I know what you are thinking man you probably did something bad to get let go like this.. but the thing is I didnt. I show up for work do what I am supposed to do and go home. He says its "just not working out" Now I resentfully sit at my desk scowling at anyone who walks past. I am in charge of a big project that rolls out TOMORROW. Do I just leave and spend my time finding another job. Or do I sit here in misery until they fire me?

Ok, my first question garnered some confusion, so let me clarify. Athletes and salaries, I'm throwing out the idea of pay for performance salaries. You all seem to counter argue that everybody would swing for the fences if they were paid on stats. Again, try to think outside the box.

Each player starts with a base salary of $250,000 (higher than 90% of the American population to begin with anyway -- and we can live off it, so can they).

First would be team bonuses (in order to prevent people from giving up at bats and sacrificing themselves) Win your division each player receives a $100,000 bonus, and etc...

Second would be individual bonuses, not just HR and RBI, but overall performance. You look at sac bunts and sac flies, avg with RISP. You are concerned that with this type of pay structure, all athletes would swing for the fences, but this would also increase their strikeout rate, making them less valuable, it would also decrease the teams wins by being selfish.

It seems so many people are. Are we becoming more like socialist everyday we allow the police to stop anyone indiscriminately for perceived violations just to check ids?

Have we become so afraid and timid that we will forego the constitution?

If I am walking and stopped by a cop (for no apparent reason, obviously drinking and driving, speeding, walking down the street with a gun is a reason) and asked for ID I don't have to give it. I have committed no crime and the constitution protects my right to anonymity. (Supreme Court already ruled so)

I would advocate that all legal or US citizen hispanics walk down the street. If you get stopped by cops refuse to give ID. If they arrest you, sue them for millions of dollars. Teach the government that it cannot violate your rights.

together 7 years, married for 3. about a year ago we went through a terrible time in which we split for about 6 months. we really did not get on and he can be cruel at times and pick on me. and i had enough. i admit that i texted another man a few years ago and then last year he did the same and text a woman at work. nothing happened- no sex, just texts. i thought i had got over all of it- my mistakes and his, but it has come back and flooded my mind and i feel terrible. we do love each other otherwise we would not be together now and gone through all that hell, but i feel my marriage is now "not pure" and how it should be. i can not forgive myself and i can not forgive my husband. i am always the strong one in the relationship, he doesnt like responsability and as a woman this did bother me. i think i wanted to escape my life at the time. but its no excuse. i feel like crying and i feel dizzy all the time because im stuck thinking about it. what can i do? im so sad.

A lot of people say it's alright to engage in sexual activities during pregnancy as long as it could not cause discomforts on the part of the woman. But isn't it that stimulation (may be caused by sex) can lead to uterine contractions and this in turn might lead to premature labor? Do i make sense here?

Prominent creation scientist Em Adjineri has recently been studying Coke cans and has discovered that they conclusively disprove evolution. Coke cans are aluminum cans that contain coca-cola. They were quite obviously designed by humans.

According to the Em Adjineri theory, since a coke can was designed by humans, all other things must have been designed too. For example, the Earth is just like a coke can in that both contain aluminum. Therefore, the Earth must have been designed too.

Em Adjineri (and I) ignore that this is an unfair generalization and a complete misuse of the inductive hypothesis. The reason we ignore those points is because they disprove creationism and a good creationist ignores anything that disproves creationism.

Take that, evolutionologists! Since coke cans were designed, everything must have been designed!

It's bullet-proof logic! (As long as nobody shoots bullets at it.)

I have a newspaper clipping from the early 80's and I'm pretty convinced this is the original publication. I don't have the full article, or the name of the newspaper. There is no title on the poem, only a sentence that reads "Let's call it, unsolved mysteries of anatomy". Have re-posters simply used that as a default title? Give credit where credit is due!

VERBATIM:
""Where can a man buy a cap for his knee,
Or the key to a lock of his hair?
Is the crown of your head where jewels are found?
Who travels the bridge of your nose?
If you wanted to shingle the roof of your mouth,
Would you use the nails in your toes?
Can you sit in the shade of the palm of your hand
Or beat on the drum of your ear?
Can the calf in your leg eat the corn off your toe?
Then why not grow corn on the ear?
Can the crook in your elbow be sent to jail?
If so, just what did he do?
How can you sharpen your shoulder blades?
I'll be darned if I know -- do you? -- Andrew M., Hightstown, N.J.""
