I feel like about 50% of the questions in yahoo answers are posted by kids trying to avoid doing their homework......They post the questions go watch TV for a couple of hours and then come back and collect the answers. Am I the only on who feels this way?

Seems a little fishy to me. Especially since the paternity results were due in the next few days.

That, and her died from drug and heart related causes as well.

What part of the train did they choose to ignore...The sound...the size...the blaring horns...

Here in Los Angeles, they have implemented MANY different systems to keep someone from crossing the tracks...yet the idiots STILL decide to park on the tracks, and let luck play out. What happens when you come to a country where you don't speak the language, don't know the culture, and are highly un-educated...you have the "new" America, neat, huh?

Thank God these idiots will never make it into the gene pool for future generations.

Of course, get ready for the lawsuits(who claim to seek "justice", but it's ALL about the $$$$)

An extra day off, more time under the warm duvet, extra sleep time, less stress, sounds good don't it, especially when the weather is as cold as today.

Any good excuses that you've made up?

And more hatred/contempt for Scott Peterson than for O.J. Simpson? I was reading a question on here about O.J. Simpson and it made me think of this. The whole country wanted to see Scott Peterson die, but a lot of people were rooting for O.J. Simpson, insiting that he's innocent, when there was more evidence that pointed to what he did than what S.P. did. I believe both of them are guilty as hell and should be punished for what they did. But why was there more sympathy for Laci Peterson as a victim, people making her out to be a saint, when with Nicole Simpson, there didn't seem to be a hyped sense of sympathy? And why more hatred for Scott Peterson than for O.J. Simpson, when they both did the same crime? Was it because Laci Peterson was pregnant? But O.J. killed Nicole and a friend. They both killed two people.

I am not trying to make a victim out of anyone. Sure we hear about soilders dying every day and I know that 3,000+ is not a lot to SOME people but it is a lot to me. It seems like hearing about soilders dying everyday is almost normal now and that is sad. We are in a DAMN war people and it is only going to get worse. THINK ABOUT it. I am not asking you to worry about it but for crying out loud THINK ABOUT it.

First of all I'd like to say I'm not anti-American, as a British person living in Britain there is so much about American culture that I love. However, when viewing a news report this evening covering the story of a British serviceman killed by American friendly fire in Iraq, the consensus of Americans interviewed on the street was that British people should be grateful that the US "saved" them in WW2, let alone complain about American friendly fire in a present day war. Its like they believed the US was almost holy in their world status. Am I the only person that thinks the war began in 1939 and that Pearl Harbour was the reason the US joined WW2? Is it right that movies such as Saving Private Ryan and U-571 only focus on the US contribution to World War 2? My granddad was in active combat back then and was a brave and most of all humble fighter - surely that is geniune selfless altruism? I really don't want to think that millions of people could have this attitude.

It is claimed that the elderly may struggle with one heavier bag, rather than two lighter ones- but this is the same of anyone surely! If they're so frail, why be travelling on long haul flights in the first place? Same financially, if they can afford long haul flights,(on their meagre pensions they like to moan about so often) one must assume they can afford a fine as well! I am 21 years old and i stand no chance of getting on the property ladder, no chance whatsoever of a state pension and i will probably end up working for a least 20 years longer than current pensioners ever did. It makes my blood boil to read these poor poor old people stories!! The whole of society nowadays seem to be geared towards pandering to them, whilst slagging off the "youth of today"....

Regarding the Lebanon / Israel border - build two fence walls, have a massive armed permanent UN contingency from the Far East guard it - the bills for this contingency will always be paid by the richer of the two and if the one ever has a bigger PC Income & the other a bigger GDP, then the fees are to be shared 50:50

Regarding the Palestine Authority / power sharing - until an election in the future is held to bring one party to overall power, flip a coin for each ministerial post to decide which party (Hamas or Fatah) gets to nominate ten people for the post - the other party then chooses which of the ten to give the job to.

& Regarding Kosovo - get people from the world's ten most populous countries + five nearest neighbours of Kosovo to formulate ten proposals for Kosovo's long-term future (independent, part of Serbia or a compromise between the two), and then the two get to take turns binning one of these proposals per day until only one is left & must be implemented.

How did she keep from running out of gas during that trip?
She would have had to stop anyways 3-4 times to fill up depending on what she was driving! So why wear a diaper and crap on yourself.

One side says its a natural reoccuring event that happens around every 100,000 years, the other side says its a man made event from buring fossil fuels and the such. Regardless which side is right-arent we in trouble either way? Either way - man made or natural the ice caps are melting, the earth is getting warmer. Neither side denies that. (well, some do...but most dont). So do we just sit around and let what happens happen just because its a natural event? Or do we try to find another way of stopping it.
Even President Bush now says that global warming is real and a danger to our planet.
