Yet questions like - Doesn t everyone shouting against immigrants realize that their ancestors were immigrants too?Should schools put flags of all countries in the classroom to appease immigrants.....?Anyone one notice that black people don t get much respect in this forum? But to indicate immirgartion raids I find yahoo blocks this question. Even though Yahoo finds it important enough to list as headline news. If Yahoo does't not want us to discuss the news they see fit to print why punishes people from using Yahoo news to answer questions using Yahoo own words only to see yahoo in saying it's is not a question or answer. Same rules to should appy to Yahoo. Not news or a news story

I don't pose this question to offend anyone, but I in no way understand a person's thinking in this regard, and I honestly want to know the reason people feel this way.

I'm in canada and wish to work with the US embassy in canada. More precisely as a Commercial specialist.

I'm curious are all good jobs within the Embassy published internally and not to the public?

Are the goverment jobs permanent as in you can not get fired and will only be promoted to a job to a lower level?

What about education? If I decide to do my master degree in a USA university, will the goverment help?

I really want to work within the Commercial Trade deparment. Should I take any Us embassy job and then apply internal to a job within my field?

Help...any advice is needed

How is it that possesion of so-called paraphernalia can get you jail time/fined but it's legal to purchase these items from 'head shops?' If it was that serious, wouldn't law enforcement just sit in parking lots and arrest people as they leave these shops?

Issues of a sensitive nature come up and the official feels that his/her party insists on a point-of-view that is against his/her conscience. Does the party always insist that the party line must be followed, or do they allow members to vote their conscience?

I hate to go to the grocery store and see people with their baskets full of steaks,chips,candy, sodas and frozen foods as pizza etc. and pay with the lonestar card. I believe they should have some type of system like WIC has. They should be allowed to purchase certain items and healthy items as well. I am a single mother and work hard to support my family.

Okay, there is probably going to be another war sometime soon. But, why don't they just have a huge multiplayer session but in real life - much like LaserQuest/Quazar?

There could be a CTF (capture the flag) session if Iran's lag permitted.

Dumb question, dumb (but funny) answers invited!

The reason why America is in trouble is because a large segment of this land refuses to do their duty and stand behind our president. How can we hope to win the day when so many people spit vermin and bile at he who leads us?

I am looking to see if a manslaughter, or even murder charge, could be brought up on a person for the following:

A 54 year old woman (who I will call Cassie) has been raising her 27 year old med student daughter's 4 year old twins since birth. The daugher (who I will call Angela) divorced the twin's father when they were a few months old. Angela moved in with her mother and leaves Cassie to watch the kids by herself weekdays while she lives in the dorms. Many weekends she does not come to her children at all, and simply stays at school which is 1.5 hours away. Recently, on one of the weekends Angela came to the house, she and her younger sister had a fight which became a physical fight. Although the younger sister threw the first hit, Angela had verbally instigated the fight and approached in a threatening manner. The next day she fights with her older brother. In response to losing a verbal arguement she nearly breaks his computer and throws some of his property. He returns the favor a while later by throwing some of her things outside. Angela, is in fact, notorius with her abrasive, rude, and selfish mannerisms to everyone in the family. Angela wants retribution, and she wants her mother Cassie to deal the punishment to the brother and sister. The brother lives in the finished basement with his wife and 2 small childeren. The younger sister is staying in a room upstairs for a few months while her husband completes Officer and Ranger school in the Army. Angela wants her mother to kick her sister and brother out of the house permanently so she does not have to see them when she drops in for her few hours or days every weekend to see her children. Cassie does not comply. Angela immediately removes the children from her mother's house and care and places them in the University daycare and says Cassie will never see the children unless she meets her demands. She had also gotten her car stuck in the snow by spinning out into a ditch during her tantrum and attempt to depart the house and Angela has her mother help dig her car out (this was very physically demanding on Cassie). During the next few days she renews her threats, keeps calling her mother on the phone, placing blame with the mother, etc. and making her cry; deliberately building as much stress as possible. Angela is the source of many other stressors but that would be a bit too much detail here.

So here is the question. Angela is just shy of getting her medical degree from an acclaimed university, she's gotten honors and awards, has an MD finacee, so has an intimate knowledge of medical conditions, causes and effects. She is well aware of her mother's poor heath. Cassie is overweight, has high blood pressure, and other medical problems. The family has repeatedly asked her to stop deliberately stressing the mother as everyone fears this will kill her. Angela knows well that it might but persists in her behavior.

If Cassie dies of stroke or heartattack during this crisis, can Angela be held accountable and brought up on charges of manslaughter or murder?

Many of you keep saying that morality is based on religious beliefs so if that is true....which religion is the best one to legislate from?
Evangelical, Catholic, Church of Christ, Lutheran, Mormon, Amish, Seventh Day Adventist......which one? Or perhaps Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddist?

Haven't we seen through examlpes like Ireland, Iraq, Iran, The Crusades, The Holocaust, soooooo many other examples that basing government around religion is dangerous?

Radicals can be born from EVERY religion!
