I am not a fan of Hillary Clinton, but intelligence is a quality I appreciate in a candidate. Bush, of course is not running, and all of the GOP hopefuls seem to have an IQ many points higher than the current president, but still I wonder if the dumber someone seems, the better the chances are to be elected.

Both India and China were ancient civilizations that fell behind and suffered defeats at the hands of the West in the modern era. Both have huge populations (each around one billion) living in relative poverty compared to Europe and North America. India has better natural conditions, mostly flat land and facing the sea on both sides, while China has large portions of unusable land in the forms of deserts and mountains and a relative short coastline (for its area). India has been a full democracy (by Western standards) for the past fifty years, while in China it is not known when democracy will arrive. However, India is falling further behind China economically.

Up to the late 1970s, China and India's economies were comparable. Since then, as the article shows, China is doing a better job of bettering the lives of its citizens. India is leading in computer software but in almost everything else China is advancing more rapidly. This raises some interesting questions: Why cannot a democracy beat a communist regime? (Note the Western standard says that economic and political freedoms go together--if you want economic prosperity you have to have a liberal political system... or that's what the West is telling Russia and Eastern Europe.) Is it due to culture factors? Did the "Cultural Revolution" in late 1960s and early 1970s at the costs of millions of lives under the communists make it easier for today's China to break with the past and to take off, noting in India some have blamed traditions for blocking progress? Which is a better model for Third World countries to follow in development and modernization? Interestingly, the article does not make note of the factor that China has a Taiwan and a HongKong which significantly aid developments in the mainland, something India does not have

I'm writing an essay about the Third Amendment. I'm nearly done, and I've done pretty darn good if I do say so myself ;) but how do I end it?

I've written, "In conclusion, I agree with the Third Amendment. It .... "

What do I write? I was aiming for "It ensures that I will get to keep my privacy" or something like that, but it's late, I'm tired, and I still have to do dishes, so I'm a bit dazed-feeling.

Thanks for your help =)

I went to England with my boyfriend a couple years ago. We were 21 and my Mom told me ahead of time that it's unladylike and trashy to sleep in the same bed as him. She was like, "I don't care what he or his Aunt say, DO NOT sleep in the same bed".

So I slept in his cousin's bed for the first four nights and he and the cousin sleep in the living room on teeny, uncomfortable couches. Finally bf was like, "Look, the couch is uncomfortable and my Aunt told me its' okay for me to sleep in the bed with you."

So he climbed in bed and slept there the remaining two days of our trip.

Is that inappropiate?

So I had a boyfriend and everything was going good as far as I knew. Then out of the blue he stopped answering my txts and phone calls. Well I assume this was his way of breaking up since he was avoiding me at all costs. I made it very clear to him that I wasnt gonna start a fight and that I just wanted my stuff back, and I'd disapear after that. But still no response from him and its been like a week. I even suggested if he didnt want to see me, some one else could pick up my things or just put them in my mailbox. So why wont he atleast give my stuff back? If he's going to ignore me he can do it much better once I get my things. Because untill I get them I'm not going anywhere, wheather he responds to me or not. Once again I made that very clear aswell.

Or have you forgiven an unfaithful partner in the past? I dont think i would be able to - the loss of trust would be too much to handle - i know i wouldn't be able to let it go, everytime he left the house, i would be thinking about it and it would ruin our relationship. Thoughts?

Mike and Maureen landed on Mars. They met a Martian couple and were talking about all sorts of things. Finally Maureen brought up the subject of sex. "Just how do you guys do it?" asked Maureen.

The male Martian responded, "Pretty much the way you do."

A discussion ensued and finally the couples decided to swap partners for the night. Maureen and the male Martian went off to a bedroom where the Martian stripped. Maureen was disappointed to find that he had a very small member no more than half-an-inch long and just a quarter-inch thick. "I don't think this is going to work," said Maureen.

"Why?" he asked. "What's the matter?"

"Well," she replied, "it's just not long enough to reach me!"

"No problem," he said and proceeded to slap his forehead with his palm. With each slap, his member grew until it was impressively long.

"Well," she said. "That's quite impressive, but it's still pretty narrow."

"No problem," he said and started pulling his ears. With each pull his member grew wider and wider.

"Wow!" she exclaimed. They fell into bed and made mad passionate love.

The next day the couples joined their normal partners. As they walked along Mike asked, "Well, was it any good?"

"I hate to say it," said Maureen, "but it was pretty wonderful. How about you?"

"It was horrible," he replied. "All I got was a headache. She kept slapping my forehead and pulling my ears!"

I can't tell you how sick I am of hearing politics in the pulpit, usually from a racist or elitist point of view. I love Jesus too but that does not make me a republican, in fact, my liberal opinions are a reflection of my faith.

I don't think I have a snowball's chance in Hell of coming to any common ground about these kinds of things but what I really wish, is that politics was left out of church. The most I think I can hope for is that when I attend, I don't get conservatism shoved down my throat. What denominations are you familiar with that are politically neutral or diverse in their congregation? Especially churches common in the BIBLE BELT?
