After 3+ years of careful birth control, I somehow managed to get my wife pregant. (How that accident happenned isn't really important). What IS important, however, is that I had scheduled a vasectomy just the week before we discovered this with her full knowledge and approval. We planned to never have children. Go figure.

If you disagree with abortion or a woman's right to chose, that's fine, but read no further. You can't help me, and faith-based answers will be ingorned. Everyone else...

My wife says, "This is our decision. I don't want to make it by myself." Although I agree that this is a very different kind of decision than for me to have a vasectomy, I fail to see how I factor into this decision. While I can express my opinion (hint, it's the same as it was when I decided to get the ol' snip-snip) and tell her that she will have my support whatever she decides, SHE is the one who will decide. Two people can't make a democratic decision, so is it really OUR choice?

Hes a good player, hes supposadley a really nice guy, he comes from a good family, hes humble not a cocky bastard. Why do you hate him so much seems to me like he just goes out and plays football and everybody hates him for it.

What if the government decided to raise our taxes in order to support more social programs?
And if you make more than 150 grand a year as income, you have to pay a higher tax rate?
What are the pro's and con's of this?
What would you do?

Ok, maybe because of it he lost the title, but so what.
Recently people have bemoaned the lack of real racing in F1 and now we have someone who will go for a win regardless and you call him for it.
Personally, I think it shows character that he feels second is nowhere.
I've always said I'd much rather watch a driver make an error chasing a win rather than watch someone who plays the percentages and lets a win pass by.
Kimi had done this in the past, let us not forget the dreaded 1 set of tyres per race rule a few years ago. With a damaged tyre Kimi chased a win until his suspension exploded and put him out of the race.
Do you really want to see and end to such obvious single mindedness towards winning?

This comes from Pascal's belief that we should believe in God because it is wise. For if He exists then we do not have to worry about going to hell. Whereas, if He does not exist we do not have to worry about hell anyway, and we won't lose anything.

So much for Israeli compassion to Palestinians in the Gaza strip. Why do Americans just turn a blind eye when the Israeli government violates human rights?

A Palestinian health official said on Sunday that Gaza's main hospital have shut down their operating rooms because Israel have prevented them from obtaining essential anesthetic drugs.

What is your opinion about this?

Personally I don't see the point of doing after the books are all finished. (Publicity of course, but seems desperate and pathetic to me)

The reason I'm asking a question is that my two older brothers( I'm the youngest) are ganging up on me, and telling me i need to drop everything and move home to take care of my mom. I would gladly do it, but I cant quit my job, i have bills, a family and I'm in the middle of a semester at college, and we just signed a lease for a year on a new apartment ( a week prior to diagnosis). I Love my mom, and have been driving the 60 miles either everyday or every other day, i also am in charge of all of her financial matters, paperwork, etc. I have already gotten my mom enrolled in a program to help with nursing and other needs while I'm away...and currently my mom is in the hospital. My oldest brother is by her side 24 hours a day, but he is unable to care 100% for him self, he is high functioning autistic. My brothers have called me an in great to the family because I'm not there all day long to care for my mother. Any ideas on how to deal with , the cancer, my brothers etc. would be great

Anyhoo now that school started again (12 grade) shes back into what I call her "school mode" (Less partying, ect.). She Has a current boyfriend but we have been talking for like 2 hours a day and she has even come over and cuddled a bit. this has been going on for about a week. I don't know how to tell her that I still have feelings for her and I am afraid that I will scare he off if I come on too strong. Help me?

It's an Acer Aspire 3680. I took off the small machine screws on the back, and the top case sort of could be cracked open. I didn't force it open further. Replacement keyboards are about 35 bucks and they have a ribbon connector. I figure it can't be that difficult to remove in order to clean it out with some electronic parts cleaner, but I can't figure out how to remove the keyboard.
