I frequently see people citing urban myths in response to questions. Wouldn't it stand to reason that if you were going to throw something out there, that you would research it a little bit and not just believe the email that Bubba forwarded to you? Below is an example.

It seems that United States mirrors the Roman Empire. Right down to our entertainment industry (we condone violence far more than sex) and the fact we're the only other nation to hold our hand over our hearts when we give the pledge of allegiance. The Roman Empire lasted about 500 years. The U.S is over 200 years old. Does this mean we have about 300 years left or will we fall sooner? Do you think China will take over as the next superpower? Or might it be a country you'd never expect?

Is it a certain dollar amount?

i understand that there are pedophiles out there but the world is a dark and horrible place sometimes. u cant be everywhere at all times and at the same time u cant allow these kinds of people to inhibit our society's ability to be creative and free. yahoo has shown time and time again how it will cave in to anyone who is throwing money at them wether it be pepsi or china. i think yahoo is a disgrace to this country and a shallow evil corporation. i wish i had millions of dollars so i could throw it at yahoo to stop encouraging communist ideas and censoring its users.

thank you

I'm the guarantor of my friend's car loan. Now his car got sold off my finance co due to default of payment and I'm being pursued by the finance co to help him to pay up a huge 5 figure amount.

He doesnt seemed to be willing to pay and i've been told by the finance company that if i dont pay up, they will take legal actions against me.

I really regretted being this friend's guarantor but there's really no use crying over split milk now. I have two old parents and what i earned is barely enough to cover all the living costs. How am i supposed to help my friend pay off this 5 figure amount?

I would like to know, any one of you encountered the same problem? Is there any alternative methods that i can take? Such as, legal actions against my friend? I know my friend still have assets under his name, such as his HDB flat, possible to get the finance to issue an injuction to him or acquire his flat?

Any advice is appreciated, kind folks!

This question may seem ample to answer. But my point that I ask this question for the reason I felt exploited on whats going on in my group. I like to have friends, of course, but if they are just trying me to be foolish in our group, better I would rather to go alone than joining to this useless friends..... As far as I know, I can live without any groups. I merely happy to be alone before but now I want to change. If this is my situation that I felt exploited, do I need to go back the way I usually does? But there are times I felt happy with my group. I still want to join them. Hope they might change........ How does my friends treat me as a friend? and How can I tell if they are really my friend?

the same thing as the mascot itself? I oppose the costumed mascot and its actions on the field, but I do not oppose the mascot being embroidered in clothing. Is this hypocritical of me?

While I am waiting for the approval on becoming an US citizen, I would like to travel abroad for a number of times (because my girlfriend lives in another country). Would this (travelling so much) give a bad signal to the immigration services that are looking into my citizens application??

I sit back and watch how the youth of today sit back and mouth off about how evil we are and how we are abusing the pows rights. I read how little 16 and 13 year old giggly high schoolers who dont even have the slightest idea of the world outside of their house and social life or lack one for that, feel how evil oure soldiers are for doing their job how ad we are for killing terrorist andf then theses little girls are made news room celebrities because they are putting down the soldiers. Obviously these people forgot 9/11. They have never realized how the terrorsit dont care about what religeon you are. Do you even have the guts to volunteer for anything outside of youre box, have you even sacrificed for anything that dosnt have a local coffee shop. Do you feel anything at all when you are told that terrorsit plan to attack again, or do you wana be like france and take it up the but and surrender to anything and everyone as they spit and burn youre freedom
