If so why so? What does it provide to you? I seem to get along just fine without a gun here in England.

a good friend of mine is over there now and over the past couple of weeks he's really shut down. i knew it was going to happen because he's been in baghdad for 8 months, without even having 2 weeks leave to come home yet. everything is catching up to him and he's really withdrawing. is there anything i can do to help him out? he used to say that talking to me gave him a break from thinking about it, but now he will go days without talking to anyone(even though he's around). i try and do things like leave him funny jokes on myspace to make him laugh but i've never seen him this bad before. he says eventually he will come back around but he's just not sure when because he's dealing with things he has to come to terms with on his own someday. i'm pretty worried..what can i do? if anything?

everybody forgets that it's hard for the people left behind too..

If there is a "lost" will that is found and the parents did not make an allowance for having a child die before them as to how the estate would be divided upon thier death......(ie 3 children 1 dies before the parents) then is the estate still divided into 3 or is it divided into the 2 remaining children?

I know everyone will answer, " It's not about race or colour, it's about illegals & breaking our laws". The truth is ur hidding behind this type of answers to cover up ur true Racist Face because i haven't seen ONE QUESTION or ONE DEBATE or EVEN A COMMENTabout the other MILLIONS of WHITE ILLEGALS from EASTERN EUROPE such as Russia, Romania, Ukraine, Bulgaria,..etc. I bet my LAST DOLLAR, if the MEXICANS looked SWEEDISH, ALL AMERICANS(specially whites) would be driving up to the borders to help them cross, give them food & shelter. My point is, BE HONEST & when u talk about ILLEGALS, make sure u INCLUDE ALL ILLEGALS, regardless of colour , race or nationalities. I agree also that ILLEGALS have BROKEN the LAWS & must not get AMNESTY or QUEST WORKER PROGRAM, EMPLOYERS who hire them must be prosecuted to the full extend of the law & ALL ILLEGALS must be thrown out of our country & should try to come back the LEGAL WAY.

I am a very conservative American. Are there any presidential cadidates that are truly pro-life and one that will not pull out of Iraq when it comes time to vote? I am very curious.

I'm 18 years old and my girlfriend is 16 years old. Her mom threatened her that if she found out that we had sex that she'd press charges against me...

Now, if we did have sex (which we haven't yet) it would be a mutual decision.

My question is...
What can her mom charge against me? Statutory Rape?

I live in Hawaii....

Turkmenistan features a Turkmenbashi Palace, Turkmenbashi theme park, Port Turkmenbashi, even Turkmenbashi vodka. It was a dictatorship, to be sure, but as things go a relatively benign -- if surreal -- one.

I was abused sexually as a child. i was brainwashed most of my life into thinking either,this cant' be true and other ways.The person that did this is now deceased but has an estate(this person was a relative).can i file a lawsuit against the estate? this suit is by no means "frivolous" as this abuse has affected me horribly and i have stacks of psychiatric/pschological records to back it up.

It is not the U.S. military that kidnaps bus loads of prospective Iraqi police officers or soldiers.

It is not the U.S. military that sends cars, trucks, or vans loaded with bombs into crowded markets.

It is not the U.S. military that kidnaps whole office buildings of Iraqi citizens who are mutalated and thrown throughout the country.

It is not the U.S. military that shoots down entire tennis teams because of they are wearing shorts.

The majority of the violence in Iraq is not even against the U.S. troops. So, why are they being blamed for the deaths?

And don't give me any BS about no one dying before the war began, because that is a lie. If the various religious sects would just stop killing each other, the U.S. would leave.

On the face of it, its military preponderance makes victory seem inevitable. Even if Tehran acquires a nuclear weapon, Islamists have nothing like the military machine the Axis deployed in World War II, nor the Soviet Union during the cold war. What do the Islamists have to compare with the Wehrmacht or the Red Army? The SS or Spetznaz? The Gestapo or the KGB? Or, for that matter, to Auschwitz or the gulag?

Yet, more than a few analysts worry that it's not so simple. Islamists (defined as persons who demand to live by the sacred law of Islam, the Sharia) might in fact do better than the earlier totalitarians. They could even win. That's because, however strong the Western hardware, its software contains some potentially fatal bugs. Three of them – pacifism, self-hatred, complacency – deserve attention.

Pacifism: Among the educated in the West, the conviction has widely taken hold that "there is no military solution" to current problems, a mantra applied in every Middle East problem.
