How is it that the USA and other nations (such as France, Russia, India, and Israel) can possess nuclear weapons (AKA "Weapons of Mass Destruction"), but other nations may not?

Firstly, even though this question is going to sound racist, Im not a racist. I know everyone says that, but Im really not. I think accents are cool and that they make english more colorful and interesting. Also, I only speak one language (english) and never succeeded at learning any other languages with any degree of success, ~ so I have a lot of respect for people who have the ability to speak english as a second language.

So thats the preamble. Now my question is, when you ring a call centre (say a telecommunications or utility provider) and you get someone on the other end with a very strong accent that is hard to understand (lets say you have to ask for clarification each time somethings said, sometimes several times). How is this for you? Obviously, this situation is exacerbated if its a bad connection to start with (staticy, quiet, or muffled). How do you feel having to repeatedly ask for clarification? What do you think of this situation?

My cat had a urinary blockage about 2 months ago. That was removed and his tract is all clear. However, he's been to the vet at least once every 7-10 days because he seems to be in intense pain. He screams when we go near him, hides under the bed, doesn't want to eat, etc. As soon as I get him to the vet, he comes out of his kennel and purrs, rubs all over the staff, etc. They have given him steroids (Metacam) about 3 times now. He takes them and goes back to normal. About 4 days after his last dose, he's crying in pain again. He had an x-ray and ultrasound of his hind legs and bladder, and he has no breaks and no more urinary blackage. He cannot stay on long term steroids because they said his kidneys can fail. What do you guys think? Is my cat just a drug seeker???

Athiest,
I have watched a debate between two sides. One that believes God exists and one that is blaspheming him. I am not trying to say tell you that you have to believe (As a creature of Free Will you have the right not to believe in God, as I have the right to believe) but why on Earth would you say He doesn't exist. I can understand someone saying that they have not recieved enough information to believe in him but I can't understand why someone would commit themselves to eternal damnation through such action.
example:
If you are hanging by a rope. One person is telling you that there is no gravity and to cut the line. The second guy is telling you that there is and if you cut it you will die. Which would you do? I can understand not having enough proof about gravity that you wouldn't believe the second but would you have enough trust in the first, that you would risk you life in such a feat?

Why would you do the same concerning eternity?

I replaced the flap valve and the seal so I don't think these are the culprits. Is there anything else that could be broken other then the flapper?

Once done, the Airbus A380, the world's biggest passenger plane, will be a "flying palace" for Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, the manufacturer announced Monday.

Airbus SAS would not give a specific price tag for the VIP double-decker jet, with its football field-length wings, saying only that it would cost more than the aircraft's list price of $320 million.

Subhanallaah. what a waste of wealth and resources. While muslim children are dying of malnutrition in many parts of the world.

Do you think society should be based on this system, as opposed to an economic system that disvalues the idea of equality like we have presently? Do you think if everyone was given the same essential resources, rather than others getting more than their fair share would allow society to work much better?

Works great, looks new
Pilots (2) are burning and appear normal--light and dark blue flame.
But this odor is really noxious--it's like I'm burning some bad diesel fuel or something. Nothing was boiled over, the stove is very clean. No changes. I've got a CO detector pugged in near--registering 0.0
We are leaving the external exhaust fan on low for now--ANY IDEAS??

Two holes were drilled for an alarm system that we took out, and they're about the size of half dollars. The other hole is about the size of a light switch plate. How do I fix them easily?

A man goes to the confessional and begins, "Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned."

"What is your sin, my son?" the priest asks back.

"Well," the man starts, "I used some horrible language this week and I feel absolutely terrible."

"When did you use this awful language?" asks the priest.

"I was golfing and hit an incredible drive that looked like it was going to go over 250 yards, but it struck a phone line that was hanging over the fairway and fell straight down to the ground after going only about 100 yards."

"Is that when you swore?"

"No, Father," says the man.

"After that, a squirrel ran out of the bushes and grabbed my ball in his mouth, and began to run away."

"Is that when you swore?" asks the priest again.

"Well, no," says the man. "You see, as the squirrel was running, an eagle came down out of the sky, grabbed the squirrel in his talons and began to fly away!"

"Is that when you swore?" asks the amazed priest.

"No, not yet," the man replies.

"As the eagle carried the squirrel away in his claws, it flew toward the green. As it passed over a bit of forest near the green, the squirrel dropped my ball."

"Did you swear then?" asks the now impatient priest.

"No, because as the ball fell it struck a tree, bounced through some bushes, careened off a big rock, rolled through a sand trap onto the green, and stopped within six inches of the hole."

The priest sighs. "You missed the putt, didn't you?"

I like a male bartender who works in a very busy bar-how do I get us started?
It's a busy dance bar and I've been in 1-2 X a week the last 3 weeks.The first time we "met" we instantly pressed our heads together over the bar to hear each other...another time I flirted with him and asked what drink does the sexy bartender recommend. He actaully seemed shy, his eyes dropped but there was also another wopman he was serving at the same time. Last few times I didn't order from him purposefully, but I smiled and he waved hi.We defintely are aware of each other It's hard to tell if he is wary or shy or what. I have a lot of attnetion from men in this club and I have defintely demo'ed to him that other men like me,are dancing w me, etc. but not making out or leaving w anyone or anything like that... I don't want to be so crass as to fling my number at him or s
