Being single white male w/no home is a Tax burden that very few can feel.I pay up to 34% just on Federal taxes. WHY? Why not tax those people who put more of a burden on society like people with 5 or six childeren. I cannot even afford a downpayment on a Decent house because they take so much out and I pay so much. BUT IF I WAS A FOREIGNER I WOULD QUALIFY FOR FED. GRANTS, LOW DOWNPAYMENTS AND MANY EXCLUSIONS I FEEL LIKE I AM BEING LEFT OUT OF THE AMERIAN DREAM.

The Governement should NOT be able to spend our money without limits (currently 45% of GDP for the UK government). As with all households, mine included, there should be a limit beyond which they cannot go ?

Take a good look at Chuck Baldwin's article here, and ask yourself why Ron Paul is being ignored.

I would definitely vote for Dr. Paul. He's a true conservative--NOT a neo-con--and he adheres to the Constitution. He opposes the Iraq war, he's against the Patriot Act and Military Commissions Act, and he's pro-life.

Why isn't anyone concerned that Bush shifted his initial attack from Afghanistan to Iraq?

I mean, all this time the Taliban was the real enemy, Al Queda, and so while little pockets of of wanna-be dog-meat-in-the-future-terrorists keep blowing themselves up keeping everyone distracted in Iraq, chances are the REAL hard core Taliban (Bin Laden et al) have likely been re-grouping in Afghanistan and Pakistan planning God knows what while the focus and senseless slaughter has been going on killing not just troops but countless thousands of civilians?

Do you really believe you are winning this war on terrorism?

And how can you claim that you are "safe" at home when grandmothers in wheelchairs require cavity searches at your norther borders while your southern borders are wide open to every corrupt scoundrel who can find their way through Mexico?

Nothing your government does makes any sense at all. I think some Americans should really hear themselves and the hot air they spew.

Yes, I know... The Constitution prohibits naturalized citizens from serving as the President of the U.S. But I'm not asking this question of Patrick Henry and John Hancock... I'm asking you what YOU think.

Totally hypothetical question.... no stirring, consider the USA & UK are not allies... whats your opinions... : ) All countries included, if you're an enemy of one, you join the other

Not specifics, but think about aspects like >>> ALLIES? Size of Forces? Military Expenditure? WMDs? Geographical positions?

Long winded Q. but if you got an opinion ANSWER!

------------------------------...

My thinking is the UK(& allies) would massively overpower the other side in all aspects bar expenditure! PEOPLE v $$$
I would guess/expect (probably missed many, tell me):


UK> India/Australia/France/ (major allies) - Commenwealth - many EU nations - Russia/Cuba/Iran/N.Korea (anti USA, and not so much UK)... etc.

USA> Israel/Japan/Mexico/ (major allies) Pakistan (anti India), MAYBE China (by default... sino-russian split, strong pakistan ally etc.) S.Arabia?, many S.American nations.... etc.

One of my friend is working for Japanese travel agency in Sydney. Many employees in that company works more than 60 hours per week without overtime pay. Also the salary is about 30K to 35K. I think this could be illegal but my friend does not believe.
So could you give me some proof to show my friend?
Or is this normal in this industry?

Indian Institute of Science for Education and Research (IISER) is a new establishment of Govt. of India to strengthen and uplift status of science education and research in the country. Overlooking the recommendations to minimize disparities, as pointed by India science report 05, in the distributions of COEs across the country four IISERs has been established yet. Our hon'ble president has repeatedly emphasized the need of opening an IISER in Bihar. His very recent speech in this regard can be seen at (http://presidentofindia.nic.in/presentation/splangnewPDF%20Format956.pdf). The current central government is ignoring such recommendations
(http://www.patnadaily.com/readerswrite/2007/feb/rajkishorepd1.html)
 Due to absence of central institutes of higher educations, Bihar is the least fund fetching state for higher education. Is it right to say that the central government is ignoring recommendations of hon'ble president and it should open an IISER in Bihar with priority.
