I couldn't believe what I was hearing. English is a second language? Spanish is more popular.

How come the immigrants don't learn our language of English?
I heard one say, because we are too old (20 yr. olds) to learn, but yet we have to learn their language to communicate to them.

I'm hoping for any rational Democrat, to explain to me, how he knows better whats going on from a military standpoint, than the commanders who are actually there in the field.

Please keep in mind that I asked for a rational answer, name calling doesn't count.

For those of you who still think the Amnesty Bill is not just that, take a look at the link below. Even CNN is slamming this pig! Would you vote for any incumbant, Dem or Rep who votes for this bill?

Consider this scenario

A criminal commits a crime and runs off. A law enforcement officer chases after him and suffers a fatal heart attack.

Does this apply to the charge of Felony Murder?

I wanted to go on a trip to Charleston SC, so I couldn't justify taking money from savings. Instead, I took a second job for a few hours a week conducting voluntary political surveys for about 3 months.

At least 10 times during my temporary employment there, I had people say "I will only take your survey if you tell me your political affiliation. Are you a democrat or a republican?" I would refuse but then they would say "you tell or I hang up." We only were paid for the surveys we completed so I said "republican." They would say... wrong answer and hang up. 10 TIMES!!!

Finally I started telling people I am a democrat when they ask because that was the only way I would be paid. This is a pretty good reason to lose respect for liberal democrats, no?

It greatly disturbs me that the Equal Rights Amendment, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_Rights_Ammendment, proposed in 1972 was not ratified, and it disturbs me even more that it has not yet been reintroduced in congress. Why is this? I can interpret it in no other way than an institutional misogyny. Do you feel the same way? Do you think it should be part of the constitution? If so, why? If, not why? Does it disturb you that it isn't part of the constitution?

My boyfriend and I are kind of on a break now because he said he's having a really hard time coping with all of this Iraq stuff ( a few of his close friends were recently killed). He told me he just needed time to think and that he'd call me when he was ready to talk. I promised id be here for him and I still send him emails and care packages to let him know im thinking about him. I'm having such a hard time understanding why he wants time away from me, though. I just want to be there for him and I feel like he's pushing me away. Should I keep waiting for him or do you think its something beyond him just having a hard time coping? I love him to death and just want him to be happy. Any advice would be great thanks!

I have seen this several times. It irks me. Is the world that college professors live in any less real than the one everyone else does?

Most of them have a Ph.D. That doesn't happen overnight, and it sure as hell doesn't get handed to you.

Many of my professors had distinguished careers, and were either retired or only on the faculty as adjunct professors. Some of my distinguished professors were a: judge, police officer, prosecutor, FBI agent (retired), budget analyst for the CRS, anthropologist with 20 years of field work all over the world, foreign service officer (retired)... the list goes on and on!

On the side, these people did things like go on diplomatic missions to Israel and Palestine, or fight FGM in Africa. I think that my professors lived more in the real world than most of us who spend time debating these things on Y!A. Can we give them a little more respect?

BBC Reports EU’s Carbon Trading Scheme Has Actually Increased CO2 Emissions
On several occasions I have pointed out how much better foreign media are at presenting reports either skeptical of anthropogenic global warming or addressing the failings in government sanctioned solutions.
Last week, the BBC did a report on the European Union’s carbon trading scheme failing so miserably that CO2 emissions in the region have actually increased since the strategy was implemented.
Regardless of the answer, BBC.com presented some of the findings on June 5 (h/t Willis Eschenbach):
