I live in a state that doesn't allow you to purchase hollow point ammo legally. I carry a 9mm Glock and I've been told repeatedly that a 9 is only effective enough for self defense IF you use JHP bullets, and that you shouldn't trust your life with 9mm ball point ammo. I'm thinking about making the switch to a .40 or a .357 sig, but I am much more accurate with the G19. Does a 9mm really need hollowpoints to have effective stopping power?
If you don't feel the 9mm is a decent weapon what do you recommend instead?

but on one condition: you have a random chance of ending up trading places with ANY American - could be Donald Trump or Bill Gates, could be a homess person or an Appalachian struggling to make ends meet. You have an equal chance to "win" the life of any of your 300,000,000 fellow Americans.

Would you take the chance? Why or why not?

I guess this question is trying to determine how well off we think we are compared to the average American, or how well off we think the average American is.

I post it in politics because "class issues," and their implications for legislation and policy, come up often.

Yes, I assume people would not want to leave their family, friends, etc. to live someone else's life - I'm talking economics and social position, mostly. Work with me here, people!

So . . . what say you?

Thanks!

If the world was a common place for all of us; no language and colour barriers. Who would you prefer to be the president of this world?

I ask on this site because his is the site that is the rudest. There is no spell check on this part of asking a question. I see people being rude and sometimes down right hateful towards other people who have mispelled a word. I know for a fact that dyslexia has nothing to do with stupidity! I think we need to ask Yahoo to extend the spell check to this part of questions.So that people can focus on the question instead, of the mispelled word.

I think we can all agree, at a bare minimum, that discrimination in the workplace on the basis of gender is wrong. (If you don't, please skip this question!)

My understanding of the issue, though, is that the case was brought after the statute of limitations (as commonly interpreted) expired, and that the majority said Congress could change the law and correct any perceived error. They didn't rule against the concept of "equal pay," just on the statute as written by Congress.

Were they right to decide as they did? Why or why not?

Would you have done the same? Why or why not?

Is my characterization accurate, and complete?

Has any move been made in Congress yet to address this?

Thanks!

My grandfather committed a minor sex offense when he was 23 years old.
He took a leak in public and was seen by an 11 year old girl.
He was convicted of indecent exposure to a minor.
He is now 82 years old.
Because of the media frenzy on sex offenders and the fact he is a registered sex offender – the Old Folks Home kicked him out.
I don’t have the resources to take care of him and now he has NOWHERE TO GO.
NO other old folks home will take him because of his sex offense status.
Because the old folks home is private they have the right to deny.
Any government assisted old folks home won’t take him either – they have a right because of government bureaucracy.
It happened almost 60 years ago.
Three lawyers I have spoken to said there is nothing that can be done.
Does anybody know what can be done?

6. Thinks its fine for people to live off of welfare while we pay for them to be slackers.

What else?

shouldn't we take all the gitmo prisoners and just shoot or hang them, then make it so the bodies are never found. I believe to beat the terrorist you have to give them a higher level of terror.

Heres an interesting fact, I use an email only to subscribe to a right wing whacko Christian newsletter which claims it does not sell my email to anyone. Guess what, I also get regular emails from John McCain now too!

I think it's pretty brazen considering they won't lift a finger to stop the illegal flow from their country into ours.

I watched a documentary on Walmart the other night. More employees of Walmart are on public assistance (welfare)
then any other company in the US. So here you have hard working people who are forced to get food stamps because Walmart uses them like slaves. Since many on here on for forced sterilization of anyone on welfare should they be sterilized or should Walmart be forced to pay a living wage.

9/11 conspiracy theorist just asked why the buildings collapsed, instead of falling over like a tree when the planes hit them.

Seriously. People who make statements like that (effectively demonstrating their complete ignorance of structural engineering) expect us to believe anything they say?????

The Fraud'um Tower, er, Freedom Tower is a sorry replacement for the original Twin Towers.

If my history is correct, when the Towers were being built in the late '60s and early '70s, the people of New York hated them. But as time went by they learned to love them.

Now that they are gone, can't we rebuild them bigger and better than ever?

Will anyone dare to elect a good black candidate as president? In a society where colour and social background are really issues, will anyone vote for a black president? Are most Americans are racist by default?
