Politics & Government - 27 June 2006

I became a permanent resident in 2005 and an eligible to become US citizen in 2008. I was just wondering if there is a faster legal way to become a citizen. I try to join the army but fail the medical due to physical disability. Any suggestions.
Thank you.

As it turns out, America is now more polarized than at any time since the Civil War and the world is divided into "Us against Them". Americans have never been more hated by the rest of the planet. Thank you George.

If, in the state of Washington, both parents are arrested on--say hypothetically--interstate trafficing charges, would the state revoke parental rights, and make the children wards of the court? What about relatives? Do you know of any cases where the relatives were unfit to raise the children? Then what?

Seems we hear of child abductions almost daily and the Amber Alert system works overtime. Today I heard a story of a missing child from the UK, but it was a fun story and the boy was found sleeping in a cabinet in his house. Just curious if there is something amiss in our culture that allows for kids to be abducted.

How come my questons get removed because of "rules" does mean yahoo answers only likes certain opinions. I did nothing racist or anything like that, infact i believe as many others did that my conent was humorous, but they still deleted three questions.

example of 1 removed question

"Who is brian of nazareth" It is obviously a joke that i got from Monty Pythons Life of brian.

Another Example of a removed question.

"who wants to see my cat scan"
Then ii gave a url link to a funny picture of two cats in medical costumes operating a medical cat scan machine.

So what are views and opinions on this. OH and hurry up and answer before this question is removed because i am sure they don't want to hear this.
