I have been working with disadvantaged young people for years and rarely do you get any acknowledgement that there is a problem.
Many of the young people I work with cannot even hold down a job to help get themselves out of the cycle due to having to move as accommodation isn't for very long due to demand. Other reasons are; being so transient due to few accommodation places, to expensive, abused, sexually abused, emotionally abused, parents use drugs n alcohol and the list goes on.
Many more have undiagnosed and diagnosed mental health issues. With little parental support there is a bleak future for many!!
Unfortunately Howard looks through Liberal-rose-coloured-glasses where everything is fine and there is no social problems.I am so pleased that one of our Leaders has acknowledged there is a problem and has gone some way to fixing this! Unfortunately the ones who blame the individual or don't believe there is a problem, aren't homeless!

How do people feel about this?

I am French, I live in NZ, and I look with a lot of interest the political career of Hillary Clinton. I think that she is going to be your next president.
So, do you like her? If yes, why? If no, why?

I was in deep prayer with God.And I said what should I tell them on R&S. I said what if I was an Atheist.? And God said their time has not yet come.God told me remember every knee shall bend and say Jesus Christ is Lord.So that meant to me .Whosoever believes in Jesus shall not perish but have everlating Life.

One day, Quasimodo decides that he wants to go on a holiday so he asks his brother if he'd look after the bells at Notredame for a week.
Quasimodo leads him up to the belfry. "The bell-cords rotted through years ago," he says, " so I have to ring the bells from up here."
"Well," says Quasi, "I run at the bells, and hit them with my head like this...". bashing the nearest bell with his forehead which makes a beautiful loud ring.
After a few demonstrations, the brother decides to have a go. He runs up towards a bell, smacks his head against it and it makes a lovely ring but unfortunately it also gives him concussion. He staggers around the belfry for a moment before falling out down to the pavement below. As Quasimodo peers over the edge he can see a crowd of people gathering around the scene.
"Who is it?" says one.
"I'm not sure, but the face rings a bell," says another.
"Yes - he's a dead ringer for Quasimodo," says a third.
"No. I think it's his brother," says the second person, "I had a hunch he was back."

It has two seats, but five seat belts. Three in front and two behind the seats. But they're on the floor, and if people were to sit there it would be tight. Is it legal? I mean, they would be seatbelted.

Thanks.

I am currently in high school, but I am thinking about college. I have always wanted to be a lawyer when I am older. When I graduate high school I am planning on going to community college to getting an associates degree as a paralegal and then transfering to a university to get a bachalors degree.

I was wondering if someone could give me any advice. Working as a paralegal would give me some experience in the field of law, but is it worth it and would it help my chances of getting into law school. I know I have to maintain a good GPA and pass the LSAT, but would working as a paralegal and still attending college be worth it.

An old couple were sitting in their living room on a Sunday morning watching a religious program.

The preacher on this show would go to all the people in the audience and asking them what they wanted fixed, then he would have them cover the part of their body they wanted fixed.

Many of the people were elderly so they were covering their eyes and hearts. Then the preacher said "Ok now for you at home put your hand on the part of your body you want fixed and say this prayer with me."

So the little old lady put her hand on her heart, because she had a very bad heart. And the little old man put his hands on his crotch.

The little old lady turned to her husband and said "He said he could heal the sick, not raise the dead!"

Tyrone Willingham never lost to Navy, nor did he ever coach a team as bad as this year's Notre Dame team. Are Charlie Weis's days as coach of the most laughable team in college football numbered? How much longer will he be the coach of Notre Dame?

I believe that truth changes from person to person depending on race, religion, parents religion, gender, sexual orientation location time, age, peoples one interacts with (directly and indirectly), and etc.

i have heard many people say "god is truth"

Question #1 Do you believe that "god is truth"

Question #2 What do you mean when you say "god is truth"?

Question #3 If i were to ask a person of a different religion, in a different location, would they agree with your statement and definition of truth?

Question#4 If i were to ask an atheist in any area would they agree with your statement and definition of truth?

Question #5 How can something be true if everyone doesnt agree on the same definition?

Question #6 Would it be better to say "God is fact"

Question #7 Why do you not agree with my definition of "truth"
Thanks much
