Make you a Liberal??

I see a lot of U.S. haters being accused of this. Personally I thought the Religious fanatics we are fighting would be considered conservative. If that's so, then why does the Republican party like to label these questioners as Liberal and Democrats?

I have tried to find the answer to this online. I can't find out if we can go to Fetlas Trading Post or Gander Mountain to purchase a gun or ammo if we reside in IL. Hubby has a FOID card for IL.

Recently, I listed a GENUINE Item on Ebay only for them to remove the lising because they deemed it counterfeit! Like I said, it was in fact a real item, not a replica of a name brand. They said that another ebayer reported the item! To me this is totally unfair because that other ebayer could be looking to eliminate their competition! AND when I emailed their customer support regarding the removal, I got a crappy canned answer saying why counterfeit items are not allowed!!! ARRGHHH!!!! Ebay SUCKS! Any suggestions??? Experiences with this very issue??? How did you resolve? Thanks!

Turner Broadcasting Systems and a marketing company have agreed to pay $2 million compensation and apologize for their advertising campaign that caused a widespread terrorism scare
$1 million will be used to reimburse the agencies and $1 million will be used to fund homeland security.
The signs also appeared in nine other U.S. cities but created little interest. Indeed I'll bet most were stolen by teenaged boys. Was it really "reasonable and appropriate for citizens and law enforcement officials" to go into a paranoid frenzy over a few signs? And is it "appropriate" to pay these people for ineptitude? These things are obviously no threat. And don't get me started on giving a million bucks to homeland security over this event.
Is it appropriate to charge two young guys with planting a "hoax device"? With disorderly conduct? What hoax? How could any reasonable person imagine the bizarre results of hanging these signs?

Studies show that high end US execs feel no allegiance to the US. They view the US populace as a tool (cattle) to further their own agenda in any part of the world. Is this true? What are your thoughts?

Alright well my boyfriend crashed the front of his truck into a tree last week because he slid on ice. He got a ticket from the Cops that day because he was "not handeling the car right" (because his car slid on ice and hit the tree). He is going to Court and pleading not guily with reason. He has a Bussiness (which is his lawn company). Do you think the judge will give him a check for a new truck just because he owns a bussiness? How long do you think the judge will take away his licence for? Just courious, Thanks.

Well, I'm reading stuff about fighting vehicles since WWI, and the authors treatartillery mounted as part of a vehicle (like katyusha rockets and howitzers) as one kind of item, and tanks (including MBTs and heavy tanks) as a completely different one.

I would have thought tanks to be a subset of SPA, not a wholly separate category... So where is that distinction that I don't grasp?

I worked in a store. I now work a very different job and I make a multiple of what I made then. I make more in real dollars than did people who did 10 or 20 years ago what I now do.
The people who work in the store now make only a little more, in real dollars, than I made then. Nobody that worked there when I did still does, and nobody that works there now will work there in ten years. They won't all make the same income 10 years from now, but they'll all make a multiple of what they make now, and if present economic trends continue, the ones who do what I do now will make more than I do now.

That's the "growing income gap" - it's primarily NOT between or among various permanent groups of people but rather the growing gap between what a person makes starting out and what he will make several years later - each generation makes more than the last and most of it comes at the height of your career.

Why does Paul Krugman think I still work at Market Basket and make $5.25?

That's EXACTLY what's happening and has been happening in Syria, Iran, Iraq(pre-liberation) and the Palestinian Territories for more than 30 YEARS . Their children are taught and they comply, to kill the Jews and the Americans, and other Muslims who don't agree with them . I'm talking about young kids, 5 and 6 years old . This shouldn't be news to you, but apparently many of you have NO IDEA of their hateful, murderous desires .
Look it up yourselves !!!!! They make no qualms about it .

Would you want YOUR children being taught that ?

Keep in mind to answer the posted question.. . . . . and please DO look it up !!!

why is it that the death of 10.5 million children worldwide suddenly become interesting & a matter of concern when a celebrity is involved in the "advertisement"? Shouldn't such an issue be a concern to all just out of compassion anyway? Like, when all these celebrities like angelina or lucy lui, suddenly trot to the UN to become goodwill amb. is it because they really care to make a difference or is it for the extra publicity whereby everyone goes like "oh my god, she is so sweet, compassionate, kind-hearted & caring cause she does this & that for all these kids & people"? when jolie or madonna go off adopting all those kids and showing them off to the media (claiming oops, i didnt want to but they caught me!) do they adopt them because they really care to make a change or because its the newest trend, the coolest act of the season? 100s of qualified people work their fingers to the bone but when a celebrity jumps into the picture, the media & people suddenly become v.interested. WHY?
