I seen it on tv awhile back it was a new gun with an electrical firing systems which allowed it to fire faster than any other gun in the world and it cant jam on you since the only moving part in the gun was the bullets themselves i know it sounds crazy but it is true does anyone know what the name is?
They had a handgun and i think a grenade launcher type version which they claim could cut a planes wings off in flight!!!

I'm probably starting a wildfire here but I'd just like to know why the hatred towards our country. This is by far the shining light of the world, look at how many people are trying and dying to get here. You have more freedoms GIVEN to you than most will ever see in thier lifetime. I'm tired of the Bush bashing antics, yes this war has divided the country but keep in mind that an entire congress had to authorize military action in Iraq and a lot of YOUR democrats voted in favor of the war. Why say hurtful things about our country when so many of our finest men and women have stepped up to the challange to keep us free and the bad guys at bay. If you hate it here so much then move somewhere else. And another thing, tomorrow is memorial day, if you can get past the anger within you take a moment and look at our flag and remember those who gave thier lives to HAND you freedoms that you take for granted. I don't mean to make this into an attack but enough is enough. GOD BLESS AMERICA !!

If the war ends badly, the right will go nuts. If it ends well, I suspect that the right will give no credit to a democrat administration...wadda 'ya think?

I recently sent my resume over the internet using Resume Delivery and I believed a scam (for a few days).

After doing some homework on Nigeria Internet scams, I see that this too is a scam. (I was told to cash checks for this company and the person emailing me-NEVER gave me his name.)

I have NOT cashed any checks, both are sitting here-waiting. I was told from a friend--to shred the bogus checks. I went on line and reported this to the DOJ and to the FBI and to another website-about 419 internet scams.

I read on the FBI website that I should keep all hard copies of evidence that is why I am not trashing the bogus checks.

The person that was emailing me now is stating that he will report ME to the FBI. He said today in an email that the CIA will be at my door on Monday morning. Everyone in America knows that Monday is a holiday in America--Memorial Day.
Again, I lost no money.

Is he using scare tatics? Should I keep his emails as evidence too?

After being in a 5 month relationship my Navy man was shipped out. He is a special ops officer so I realize his situation is different. However he has been gone a year now......and I have had no word. No calls. No letters. No email. He said prior to leaving that he wouldn't be able to contact me but I was still hopeful. Some on my friends think I have been played for a fool. Others admire me for waiting for the love of my life. We are both in our 40's and were planning a life together. I do not have any mailing information for him or any way to contact his family, etc. Does ANYONE out there have any information or experience with special ops? My heart is telling me to wait but my head wants answers.

Is plea bargaining the only way a felony (or misdemeanor) can be dropped to a lesser charge? If not, what are some other ways a charge can be dropped to a lesser one?

Many upper class people have been convicted of major crimes and many of them get a pardon or end up in a prison of their choice where they can get away with many things, others don't even serve time and the middle class people and the poor do little things and get long prison terms. Worst that all, nobody does nothing about it !!! Don't even think about it until it hits home. Is this equal rights?

I'm a U.S citizen and my boyfriend is here legally from Jamaica by way of a green card. He came here with his mother a few years ago to go to further his education. We plan on getting married once we finish college, we also have a baby on the way and i wonder if there will be anything that will keep us from just tying knot. Could we just go down to city hall and get a marriage certificate or are there forms we have to file before hand because he is a green card holder?

Why is it that in this site so many of the postings leave correct spelling much to be desired? At my age (I'm 71), and as an aphasic person in the wake of a tumor in the environs of my brain stem and, during surgery, an unfriendly stroke, I sometimes slip with spelling. But here it's so easy...the doggoned site will check it out for you. And happily so for this old coot with his cane and disfigured ugly mug. So my question is: why the sloppy spelling in this scholarly wing of Yahoo Answers?

The Pentagon estimates that only 5% of the resistance are terrorists. Generals in the field say that "99.9% of captured insurgents are Iraqi citizens, made up of over 40 factions.

That tells me that most of the people we are fighting are people resisting an invading army. Why are they all called terrorists and not freedome fighters? Because we are us and they are them?

So, If some other country invaded and I fought them would I be a terrorist or a freedom fighter?

By the way, what did they call the people who resisted the British Imperialists in the American colonies in the 1700s?

Does the power of attorney appoint someone to handle their affairs . Should everyone who has responsibilities to others always have this form filled out and should family be clued into who is appointed ? How do we say politely that we need to make sure their affairs are in order without hurting their feelings ?

I went to Sams with my family. You know how when you leave there are people that stand and check your recipt. Well the man in front of us was older so she walked up to him and a super loud alarm went off. I thought someone had stolen something from sams but then she said, "Oh no i stepped out of my box. My manager is going to be mad." When we looked at the floor sure enough there was a light square about 1x1. What are we turning into treating a human being like a dog! To tell you the truth my dog lives a better life than that. Can you imagine the pain her feet are feeling not walking around all day. What about human rights?? After we were gone everyone agreed that she was probaly just getting minimume wage no more. ~ Citizen ~

At the Moment, CNN is running a special on combat hospitals in Iraq; Fox News has Geraldo talking about the evils of Fake Fendi Purses being sold in Los Angeles. CNN has been running specials on Iraq and Afghanistan all day. Fox News has Geraldo whining about counterfeit goods. Oooookay.
