I was watching a show called Gangland on History Channel, and it was talking about all the prison gangs, and how they spread outside, and I realized that the more inmates, the more members, the more violence INSIDE prisons, as well as outside. Are we just recruiting gang members?

Three railroad workers, a Chinese man, an Italian, and a redneck, are all sitting down to lunch.
The Chinese man says, "If I get another eggroll in my lunch, I'll kill myself."
The Italian guy says, "If I get another slice of pizza, I'll kill myself."
The redneck says, "Iffin I get another ham hock, I'll kill myself."
The next day, all three men get the same lunches, so they throw themselves in front of an oncoming train.
At the funeral the Chinese man's wife says, "If only I hadn't packed an eggroll that day."
The Italian guy's wife says, "If only I hadn't packed a slice of pizza that day."
"Don't look at me," says the redneck's wife. "He done packed his own vittles."

My sister thinks that happened to one of her goldfish. If it were possible can you take fish to the vet? What could the vet have done realistically?

Seriously. By reading some of the answers on this forum, I get the feeling that some respondents have never been married, or have only been married a year or so. The result, some strange advice based on a very idealistic view of how things work, or don't work in a marriage.

I mean, when I answer a question, I have 16 years and three kids to fall back on. And you can tell which other respondents have actually been through their fair share of experiences, too.

Not really a question. More of an observation.

My cousin has asked me to plan her wedding. I have only done this once before (my own small wedding). But hers is going to be over 300 guests. I have the big stuff covered, ie. flowers, decorations, etc. But I want the details. Things I should remember for the big day. Like assigning someone to transport the guest book from the church to the reception hall. Or making sure the a/c is on at the hall. Are there things that you forgot or remembered. I need it all. All advise is appreciated and can never be too much. Thank you in advance. Tracy

Ok be a bit open minded here, If we knew aliens existed and we're on a similar or superior state of conciousness, would they share the same fate as us at the end?

Several times now we've seen global warming deniers link articles from the UK Telegraph which have contained misinformation and lies regarding global warming. The most recent one claimed that the planet has cooled to 1983 levels, when in reality we're currently ~0.4°C warmer than 1983.

http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/img/climate/research/2005/ann/global-blended-temp-pg.gif

So what is the deal with the UK Telegraph? Is it like Britain's equivalent of The Washington Times, New York Post, FOX News, and Rush Limbaugh or something?

1. Solve for x: 5:25 = 7:x

2. Solve for x: 8/x = 12/(x + 2)

3.Solve for x: 12/21 = (x - 5)/x

4. Solve for x: 7/12 = x/15

The role of women has evolved drastically since their hesitant advent into the corporate world through "soft" jobs, more in keeping with their roles at home -Do you think that the male ego might still feel a little insecure with the idea of accepting a female colleague at the same or superior level ?

On a serious note, which we tend not to do that often here in P&S, I came across something on MSNBC that had my interest-racial profiling in the news.

Now before everyone gets all rowled up, lets remember who you are leaving your comments to. I am not the enemy, I'm simply a woman curious as to what the community is thinking. I do not tolerate bigetry and racism very well at all, so leave it at the front door, do not bring it in here PLEASE!

Now- a reporter with MSNBC (caucasian male) recently wrote an article about missing persons. We see them everyday right? Mostly young females- majority of them are white. Of all the Laci Peterson's, Chandra Levy's etc in the world, there have been few times when a missing person of the African American race is featured as often as some of the Caucasian women cases. Why do you think that is? Also, if this was not an issue, why do you think a Caucasian man would write this article and interview the president of NBC about who gets on the air?

Yeah, I know that when I go through Start -> All Programs -> Mozilla Firefox I see both the normal and the Safe-Mode start ups.
But regardless of which one I click on and run, it still goes into Safe-Mode. Basically I just want to turn it off, mostly so i can use my add-ons, but for other bothersome reasons too.

What do I do to turn it off, disable it, or switch back to my normal firefox??

help!?

'Utopia'

There,
The not-place,
Island of ideals, paradise perfection,
Where,
In fields of gold,
Life is peace and earth is free;
There,
Pure harmony,
No suffering, and eternal youth.
Here?
The ill-place
Ideals exist, alongside us:
The destruction factor.


i'd just like your thoughts on this one - what does it make you think (first impressions)? how can i improve it? this is only a first draft, and i am reworking it as you read this line, but i am open to suggestions. =]

I'm sorta writing a book about this and I need information about Black female slaves, slave auctions, slavery in the Caribbean, and the "punishments" and touture that the salves went through. My story takes place in the Early 1700s in the Caribbean and in Virginia.

Men if you have such a problem with women why be with one?
Im sick of hearing men complain about women and cry about the woman that hurt them and then they go out and get into a relationship and chase the woman away with their negativity. Why do you even want to be with a woman if we are as bad as you claim? Why cant you get over your heart break man up and move on?

I need to write a kind of diary entry of how I interpret the word "student". It could be done in a creative way, in an academic way, or in a mixed way, etc. But I'm currently out of thoughts and I need some ideas. Give this a try and help me out please? =)

Also, I'm placing this here on purpose.... Sorry people, lol. I just prefer this category because people are not afraid to stand up for their beliefs/thoughts. =) I hope this is okay.

Let's say the Beatles were all still alive, and they decided, after almost 40 years, to record a new album. People would be beside themselves with excitement, but that album could never, ever, EVER live up to its expectations. It would always be compared to their past legacy, and no matter what the sales figures were, it would be considered by many to be a failure.

Isn't that pretty much what happened with the most recent Star Wars triogy?

Granted, Episode I sucked, I will concede that, but E2 and E3 were both rich with a story, great action sequences, and E3 specifically tied the two trilogies together quite well. The worst part about E2 and E3 is Hayden Christiansen steals a paycheck every time he is paid to act; he is horrible.

I'm just curious why everyone hated these movies so much...
