We have a professional army which is well paid not only in salary but in kind. The life benefits accorded to the military are not found in any other sector. Our professional soldiers join the army for many,many reasons and not all of them altruistic.Poor foreign nationals fight in our armies to get citizenship. All of them know that they they have to go where they are sent. This is not heroism. This is doing the job they are paid for. If we really cared for the lives of these troops,we would be scrupulous about putting them in
harm´s way. They are dying in Iraq to further some scheme dreamed up by Bush and the Neocons;they are not dying to protect us or our freedoms. Those who REALLY care about the troops have opposed this war from the start. It is wanton and criminal and has caused many needless deaths. Our freedoms and rights are being taken away from us right here at home by legislation like the Patriot Act. And no one is protecting us from this theft. Support the troops! END THE WAR

I've been getting a phone call every sunday afternoon for the past month now from the number 888-888-8888. I answered it one time and there was a women on the line with a heavy jamaican accent telling me i won 2000 dollars. It just annoys me because i know it's bullshit and immediatly she wants all of my information so i tell her no. If she calls again i'll ask to be removed from the calling list. I dont know if this has happened to anyone on yahoo answers. Another time i kept getting phone calls from an area code with a plus sign in front of it so i went on google and typed it in. that number came up as one that was being involved in a phone scam originating from Jamaica and they use a fake US area code somehow like theyre really calling you from the United States! If they don't take me off theyre calling list what can i do?

If we really want equality, and the constitution of the United States is the best ruling document and not just a person or a group of people, what are we going to do to keep it that way? What are you willing to do to make sure that it is not just the strongest, most wealthy, most powerful, that are the most influential in this country? Do you hide around and get upset that it is all so politically correct now and then refuse to do anything to stand up for your rights in this country? Do you even know what they are or do you just go along to get along?

The human race must move to a planet beyond our Solar System to protect the future of the species, Professor Stephen Hawking has warned. “Once we spread out into space and establish colonies, our future should be safe”. He said there were no similar planets to Earth in our Solar System so humans would "have to go to another star". Hawkings said that current chemical and nuclear rockets were not adequate for taking colonists into space as they would mean a journey of 50,000 years. He also discounted using warp drive to travel at the speed of light for taking people to a new outpost. Instead, he favoured "matter/anti-matter annihilation" as a means of propulsion. "When matter and anti-matter meet up, they disappear in a burst of radiation. If this was beamed out of the back of a spaceship, it could drive it forward." Travelling at just below the speed of light, it would mean a journey of about six years to reach a new star.

What chance London’s Metronet can get us moving into space?!!!!!

Can you tell me about it and what it means and what it means to you? Is it important for anything? It is just a peice of paper isn 't it? Does being the melding pot mean that we throw the constitution out the door and only do and say what is politically correct? Just asking what you think, honestly? Do we have any real and actual honesty in the United States anymore?

Walmart is supported and will always be supported by 90% of Americans. We must accept that.

Hilarious!
Do you know how many kids survive on 5 hours a week of home tuition cos there are no places in pupil referral units and other schools won't take them?

How is changing the time limits going to help that?

How's about we make the curriculum accessible to more children - maybe then they won't act up cos they don't have a clue what is going on in spanish class cos they don't even have a grasp of grammer in their own language! How schools expect kids who can barely read or write english to learn a foreign language is beyond me!

Maybe we are too quick to exclude kids? My partner works in a school for children with social, emotional and behavioural problems, they have one of the highest exclusion rates in the area and they are supposed to now how to deal with challenging behaviour!!!! Its a disgrace!

Thats great, but doesn't it imply that the government think the parents of these kids don't work for a living and are capable of actually doing this?

I worked with a family where the mum begged the school to keep her son in internal isolation cos she couldn't get out of work and he wouldn't be able to get into their house - the school didn't give a damn and sent him off to roam the streets for hours - he was 11!!!!!!!

F**K ups?

Whats with this business of saying anyone who does not support the McCann's for leaving their kids alone in may must be on benefits?

I can understand people objecting to more 'extreme' posts but to lump everyone together and say (sam J) that the denials are as convincing as the lies about the McCanns?

Some people need to get a life.
I personally am having a well earned week off work (not had any leave since august last year!) and If I want to use YA I will.

I also personally know some people on here in 'real life' and those of you who have made assumptions about them in terms of whether they work or not or have kids or not couldn't be further from the truth!

What's it like up there in your ivory towers? Get a life!

I just found this on the web and am disgusted with what I am reading. A group in America has asked that Britain be placed on the list of countires that support terrorism. We have stood side by side with America during their battle with terrorism and have lost men and women during that time. We experienced bomb detonation in my home city of London (although nothing compared to 9/11). I can't believe that somebody out there could be asking this. See the link below:

think about it, how is someone in the top ranks of GE get their message to the news desk at the nightly news of nbc? i think if it was that obvious then more people would be speaking out but honestly you dont see immelt whispering in brian williams' boss to not talk about so and so. im sure it happens to a degree but i want to know SPECIFICALLY how, not some stupid conspiracy theory made up by liberals who can only say a b c happens without telling me exactly HOW.

A conservation charity set up by Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, who died a year ago, wants the world to set aside November 15 to help carry on his work.

What are your thoughts on this idea? Why do you agree or disagree with the concept of 'Steve Irwin Day'?
