a guy i know lent me a couple hundred dollars a few years back and i did pay all but a hundred back, but that was only because he started standing me up on dates.
Anyways, he has contacted me saying that he wants to make a deal, me submit to him and he will forget all about it.
I ofcourse am not going to do this, what should i do?

I want to add a post-nomial title to my name, just for fun. I've found various sources about the title "Esq.", and they seem to insinuate that only attourneys use it or fully-grown males. What constitutes a fully-grown male? And is there any "useless" or "meaningless" titles that I can add to the end of my name to make myself look more important?

For that there are so many failed people if your country is so rich???
I`m From Monterrey México (It has 4 million inhabitants and only there is a few Homeless and the majority they are of the south of Mexico (Oaxaca, chiapas)...

The immigrants do not take your works are a complement for your economy , Only is necessary regulate it....That would be a potato fried without the ketchup???

Currently, you are taxed higher if you make more money. Substantially higher.

Effectively, this is a dis-incentive to contribute more to society.

Should we not provide incentives for being MORE productive, as opposed to less?

As I was watching the 2007 State of the Union, I noticed there were many women in red. I just finished watching the 2002 State of the Union and once again there were a considerable amount of women in red (including the First Lady). Is there some tradition or formaility driving the Congresswomen to wear read or do they just want to be seen amoungst the sea of dark suits?

In another question regarding Hillary Clinton's question, an asker had wondered if she would be harassed by "Neocon spam trolls"...

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AlADRfztYBsdoa4hbHgr5zjY7BR.?qid=20070125171304AA39AYp

Wouldn't the same thing happen with the "Neolib spam trolls" if President Bush asked a question?

Is this Liberal Hypocrisy?

After seeing all those twitches and eye blinks, I think the rumors might be true.

I NEED to know if this should be reported - I sold something on Yahoo auctions, my buyer emailed me and said her account with Paypal was 'frozen' due to recent discrepancy that is being looked into. So, she has another buyer who could pay what he owes her, I can deduct what she owes me and Western Union the rest to her, in the United Kingdom. I agreed. He sent the money through paypal-it's there now-I emailed him to confirm he was ok with this since I am not the one with his product her just paid for. He said he was ok with it. Now I need to send her the rest of the money, but I am wondering what the odds are that this was paid for with a stolen credit card. I did call Paypal and asked them if they could call this guy to confirm the transaction, they will not.

I've heard of some police officers asking for the IDs of all people riding in a vehicle if the driver is pulled over for speeding or other minor traffic infractions. Is this legal? Can they really do this or are they overstepping their jurisdiction? And if a police officer did this to me while I was riding in a car and s/he has no other probable cause, can he force me to give him my identification if I am not driving?

Which has a greater incentive to be effecient? A government bureaucracy that slowly filters money through its ranks, or a private organization that needs to make every dollar count?

I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I went to renew my driver’s license last week and was told that I couldn't. When I asked why they told me I had an outstanding traffic ticket from 1995 for $66 so the city put a hold on my license. I don't have a problem with the money. But I do have a problem with the age of the ticket. I'm sure I paid it but can't recall. Even if I did pay it I couldn’t possible prove it. There must be a statute of limitation regarding old unpaid fines. If it were 12 months old I could understand but 12 years is ridiculous. I will probably just pay but would like to know if anyone has had or heard of a similar situation. Thanks.

If it comes down to a one vs. one in a tank fight, who would win?

Meaning, would the NATO or the warsaw pact tank win?

Like a t-90 against an m1 abrams

Or, a t-72 with reactive armor against a challenger 2
