The talk show hosts and media always rant about how free America is and that Canada and the United Kingdom have socialist governments. How exactly is America freer than these countries?

The way I see it

America has freedom of speech but you have to be careful to be politcally correct and not to offend anyone. You can be charged with a hate crime otherwise. I don't think the other countries have this.

America has eminent domain laws. Big businesses can "seize" your property through the government to build their hotels and stores. I don't think the other countries have this.

In America you can bear arms and even handguns. I don't think you can buy handguns in other countries.

In America, the insurance companies have real freedom. They can choose not to insure a person with pre-existing health issues or who is deemed a risk. In Canada and UK everyone gets coverage.

In America big businesses have a lot of freedoms with few regulations. This is why we're seeing banks collapsing with t

Ok I have this guy friend(more of an aquantance) and I was wondering if he likes me...I've never seen him talk to any other girl before and I don't think he has any girl friends, so I think he talks to me the most out of the whole girl population....anyways, in 1 of the 2 classes that we have together, I sometimes see him staring at me and when I look at him, he shifts his eyes....also, once I got bored so I started puffing out my cheeks and I looked over and he was doing the exact same thing as me...oh and in our other class, he sits infront of me and he always puts his head back and rests it on my pencil case, and a couple days ago, my best friend and I were arguing about recycling and so I asked him if he recycled(even though I knew he didn't) and all he said was "maybe"...I'm leaning towards that he likes me, but I don't want to be wrong considering that we don't talk all that much and he doesn't pay a lot of attention to me...so what do you think???

My question is,If I can see a star that exploded whatever in the early 70s when I was born and sience made it possible for me to instantly transport my self to that location and then instantly transport myself back , would I arrive back in the early 70s and if not why not?

For those who are not familar with Mr. Freezes they are basically flavoured ice and have very little calories (1.8 a pop!) Would the theory that drinking ice cold water burns calories (for those who don't believe me read this link http://health.howstuffworks.com/question447.htm) also apply to eating these ice pops so? Obviously it would not be a large amount of calories burnt, but still!

He was putting mortar between the veneer rocks on the little wall that makes my flowerbed. Some cement fell onto the grass, then when we rinsed the wall more cement got on the grass. The best was that he rinsed out the bucket he was using right in the middle of the lawn.

Will this kill my grass? I have tried flushing it away with lots of water....

It wasnt tons of cement, but I thought the watery stuff might contain harsh stuff- lime or whatever.

hello, i have been looking at a car through ebay. i contacted the seller to find out more information about the car, since the listing has ended. while corresponding with him, he said that the transaction would take place through ebay, but is this possible since the item no longer has a valid listing. he was saying that ebay would act as a third party and hold the money while the car was transferred hands. and then upon my authorization the money would be released to the seller. is this a scam, or is it a legitimate deal. very confused, please help me. thanks

im very upset. just had a big fight with the husband. when we met things were fine. until he got "saved".
now things are just getting worse n worse cause i dont believe exactly the same as him.
well the problem right now is with halloween. i see this as a harmless holiday for kids to get free candy. and yes i know the true history of it not the distorted one some religions try to give.
well he forbid me to take the kids out trick or treating saying that they were his kids and that what i was doing meant im going to hell and he wont have his kids follow me there!!
i was livid.
he basically told me i had to believe the same as him or he didnt know what he was gonna do. i told him if he cant respect my beliefs like i respect his that there was only one other option which was to separate. i have respected him. even going to church as a family on sundays with him but i guess this is not appreciated. im very hurt and angry about this. what should i do?

I am given the equation x(x^2-3), x=2
I have already fond the gradient (m). I found first the derivative F'(x) which is f'(x)= 3x^2-3, and later on I found the F'(2), which gave me 9, so the gradient is 9
Now I must find the equation of the tangent, for the time being I have
Y= mx+b
So
Y= 9x+b <-- I have tried but I can't find the value of B, do you know how to find it?

Thank you very much!
Any help is much appreciated! =)
