i want to look at the issue of sexual violence during war not just as an issue that affects women coz i believe even men are sexually abused and this is particularly in conflict regions.

When I first joined Yahoo Answers I was “categorically” promiscuous. I used to answer questions that I had some knowledge about regardless of the category. For the past 3 months I have been here primarily to try and maintain the balance of opinion expressed on a particular subject. So, what made you choose this category?

The way i see it is like this..... The macaans could easily afford a babysitter but choose not too as they felt so safe in the hotel and felt there was no danger (none of us were there so we cant know how they felt, or the other families i know who have admitted to doing the same) yet if a single mum on benefits did it it was probaly becuase she could'nt afford one but decided to do it anyway, yet the fact that the mcaans could afford it but choose not too shows they felt safe. I hope this makes sense, as people i have talked about this completly understand where i am comming from. I dont agree with their decison and would never have done it but the decsion they made that night will stay with them forever, God bless Maddie

Bush or Vick....

Michael Vick is pleading Guilty for numerous charges related to the dog fighting/gambling ring. Innocent until proven guilty and now he is guilty. What kind of justice will there be in prison? I hope the things he did to the dogs happens to him in jail. Adios Vick.

If you do not know who he is, he is the football player who ran dog fights and killed pitbulls.

is it because you disagree with the answer or simply because you don't like the persons previous answers or opinions?
Personally I only thumbs down an answer that is abusive or an answer that is wrong or something. Recently though I have seen that most of the anti mccanns have been recieving thumbs down when they have given really good answers. Are people holding personal grudges on here? I'm not bothered by the thumbs down by the way just interested to see if anyone wants to admit they thumbs down the answerer rather than the answer!

2) That Russia has reached a "heightened level of trust with China"
3) That Russia and China have been engaging in war game exercises together since July 18
4) The building of new platforms for their new "masive nuclear submarines" which are to carry bulova missiles which can carry a nuclear war head 8000 km to it's target.

I have a son who fought in the Middle East and is a Paralyzed Veteran of America. He has soldier buddies visit him often & when he's hospitalized in a VA hospital I get the opportunity to converse with many soldiers. Believe it or not guys, they don't all think we should be in Iraq. Most of them think we should still be in Afghanistan.

I am sorely tempted to give 10 points to barbie&jlo are sluts cos I feel this person needs some happiness in their day today.

Personally, I love a witty and well thought out answer and if it is informative then alls the better . . . I love it when people read the question and answer it properly?

Awwwwwwww, and here's me thinking you wanted to have a reasonable, educated, adult to adult debate?

Let me just get this straight? You can post questions naming individuals on here and then make your Q&A private so that those people cannot respond to you?

How is it possible to have a debate if you only allow people with the same point of view to answer your questions . . . ?

About child abuse, child neglect and child protection?
I will take time out from my essay writing as I feel the need to share some information and do a bit of community education (YA community that is!!)

but firstly I would like to take the opportunity to thank those people who posted messages of support answering 'I have no names's' recent posts (too many of you to mention!). Don't worry - I am used to it and the attitude does not bother me in the slightest. It just reminds me how different the perspective on issues can be if you do not know the facts (and rely on the daily mail for information)

Social workers do not 'kill' children

They also cannot always prevent abuse occuring - this is beacuse, unlike agencies like the police, they cannot go around in cars and on foot patrol 'looking' for abuse. They rely on information given to them by way of referrals. They can only protect children they are aware of . . .
