I get really fed up with seeing rows of 20/30 disabled bays directly outside shops which are often 75% empty. If disabled people want to be treated as equals shouldn't they be made to park the same as everyone else? Sometimes I've had to pick up some heavy goods so I've parked in one and I've had some able bodied person have a right go at me! I've never once seen anymore than 2/3 wheel chairs in a store at any one time so I don't see what the issue is and besides as most disabled people are on benefits they will probably spend less money in those stores than myself as I work for a living and earn a lot more.

Do you feel safe in Colorado? Considering the recent shootings? Considering the death of JonBenet Ramsey? Considering the 1999 shootings at Columbine? My family and I were going to go to Colorado in the Spring, but now we are not so sure.

I need to do a 2000 word essay, preferably with primary data. I need to shed new light on an issue as an economist would.

It's for A HIGH PROFILE competition - so far I've done essays on

hapiness' relationship with living standards.

the sustainability of China's economic growth and its implications.

the sustainability of the UK housing market and its implications.

I've done lots of research and somewhere theres always someone who has already shed the light I have. I introduced a few new ideas, but not enough to really distinguish my essay from previous economist's or journalist's analyses.

Have you guys got any ideas for fresher essay titles, or ways I can look at the current one, to bring a fresh unbiased outlook to it?

One of my second graders did not return from recess. The school security came to my room and said the student had purposely tried to trip one of the recess monitors who is an elderly woman with a cane.

I didn't know what to say. I felt really awkward. The security said the student is in serious trouble and they were going to try and call her Mom.

An hour later, I saw the officer in the hall and he said the administration is going to take care of it and something "Serious and heavy" was coming.

I'm scared for the kid. What she did was wrong, but she's only in second grade. What are they going to do to her? Suspension?

there are two roads. one leads to hell, and the other leads to heaven. there is a guy at the fork, and you can ask him one quesiton that is answerable by yes or no. you don't know if the guy's an angel or a devil, and the angel always tells the truth while the devil always lies. what question will you ask him to know which way leads to heaven? (or to hell)

Every time major updates are downloaded on my computer and its restarted nothing works right. Its a mess. I manage to return things to normal after a couple of hours and about 3 or 4 restarts. Why does this happen every time. This time 6 updates came in from Microsoft and what a mess. Otherwise I have no issue with my computer. Anyone know or have this happen to them?

Just so YOU know where I stand on this, common usage today of an otherwise nice word, annoys me no end. Whenever I'm watching an old movie, for example, and there's a reference to GAY (happy), it jars on my nerves because I've been conditioned to think of the word in as denoting sexual preferences. There are lots of other examples in language(s), as well. Bastards!

Okay, so this technically isn't a question. I just wanted to say good-bye to all my contacts. I won't be on here for a while because I'm not going to deal with the vn's that I've been getting lately. There's just too many. Anyway, I'll miss you all!

I tripped and fell a couple of months ago, and as a result the ligaments on my outer ankle got twisted up. Looking at the ankle, there is still a little bit of bruising right on the ligament where the shin joins the foot, and underneath that area as well. It doesn't hurt to walk on it, but I cannot bend the affected foot all the way back. I can almost fully rotate it, but not completely. It is really bothering me that I cannot do a lot of exercising because I am on the line between overweight and healthy, and I used to be 20 pounds slimmer. I want to get started. What is advisable for me at this point... will my ankle ever really heal? What kind of exercise can I do? At this point I am just doing yoga and abs but I want to do more cardio.

I asked this question just a few moments ago. Please read on.

Stating that all life can and is explained by natural causes acting randomly over time. Therefor there is no need for a creator. No life after death, no ultimate foundations for ethics, no ultimate meaning for life, no free will. The only reason people still believes in such things as ethics, morals and free will, is that people have not yet grasped the full implications of Darwinism.

William Provine, Cornell University.

I have never seen such knee jerk reactions regarding one of your own. Mr. Provine is/was a biologist at Cornell U. He whole heartily embraces Darwin, This is his message to collage students across this nation. Darwin has freed us from such things as ethics and morals, because they are based on the belief in life after death and a creator. Do you people not even know what your side it preaching these days?
