I know this would never happen, but China's overpopulation means they want 300 million people to go to other countries.

What would Fox do if China sent 200 million immigrants to Mexico?

Would he do a Bush?

Billions are spent and lives lost to protect citizens in other countries. The "leaders" of the USA refuse to enforce existing laws and stall by debating endlessly to remake perfectly good laws. Meanwhile, citizens are at risk. What needs to be done to solve this problem?

Other than a few states that require minimum wage, it's waiters and waitresses. They make about $2.15 an hour, but are taxed as if they are making at least minimum wage.

I'm thinking about joining because I could use the tuition help and being in the military is something that interests me. Does anyone have any personal experiences or good, reasoned advice to help me decide?

This soldier tried to rape me and I used physical force to stop him. He got arrested and in big trouble, but I feel so awful, I really scared around people sometimes, so much so that I cant get a job or talk to people. Most of the time I try to avoid people.

I was just wondering if anyone has ever been a doctor in any of the branches of military. Did you like it? What are its pro's and cons? I have read the Student Doctor Forums online, and it seems like the general consensus is that military medicine sucks. However, I'm not really sure if this is just a bunch of disgruntled army doctors ranting in one place online, and if the happy military doctors don't even know about the website. If anyone has any info, please tell me. Thanks!

I filed my insurance and he refuses the pay the deducatable. I am furious because 1. He didnt tell me when he brought my car back to me, I found it later that day. 2. He says he was doing me a favor and he isnt responsible. I had to pay the deducatable myself. Should I sue and is it worth it.

anyone ever talked extensivley with an Arab? a Jew?
All I keep hearing is "We should nuke the middle east!" and "ALL ARABS ARE TERRORISTS!!" Nobody can say anything intelligent except for let's bomb them, Israel is right, all arabs are wrong end of story.

When it comes to ourselves there is always two sides to a story but when it comes to others, that statement doesn't apply.

Is anyone willing to learn truly about both sides then form an opinion?
Or do people just want to regurgitate catch phrases and key words they hear from the media and roll with that?

Because after all the TV is the best form of education.

How can people say war doesn't solve anything and when did it become fashionable to be an Anti-War Protester?

It was about 9 pm and I was looking for my cat just up the road. I got to the side of the road as a car was coming up and they slowed down a little and threw something at my breast and it hit. I stood stunned and they yelled **** you and drove off. I stared at their tail lights and then screamed back and chased after the car. They drove by again and screamed **** you at me again. I wanted to mace them and tear their lungs out of their mouths by going down their throats and then I started having a panic attack after all of that adrenaline. I want to look for the car in my neighborhood tomorrow in the daylight and find out who did it and call the police. What is wrong with this picture? I have PTSD already but I want to kill them. I'm so angry and I can't sleep. Aarrrggg!

Okay, an easy two points.

A simple yes or no will do...,

or an indication of how you feel using a continuum from 1 (they have no reason to bomb Lebanon) to 10 (Lebanon has been asking for it)...,

or you can expand your reply as much as you'ld like.

I'm interested in receiving as many replies as possible, to turn this into a sort of poll - not an accurate one of course, but perhaps as valid as the type of thing we see on the nightly entertainment shows sometimes known as "the news." I'll tally them when the question is resolved and post a short summary as part of my reply.

For whatever its worth, my minimum goal is to get over 100 replies. Ideally, it would be over 1000 but I have scant hopes for that....

Thanks all for contributing your two cents for two points...
