What are some ways we can show the Muslims of the world that we are not against them, that we can encourage them to be more social with the West and yet still keep a proactive policy towards Radical Islam.

What are some ways we can encourage Muslims to speak out against Radical Islam and do more to root out the radical sects from within?

I really do not know what exactly I need to do, because I received a letter from a Food Lion here in North Carolina that tells me that I have to pay $165 to them by Friday because there was an insufficient check wrote for that amount. My problem is, that check was not written by me, someone else wrote it, I have already seen a copy of it and it is not my signature nor my driver's license number nor my telephone number that was written on it as the information that the cashier is suppose to request. I went to the bank and they told me that the first thing I need to do is close the bank account. But now, what can I do to find that person is will probably keep using my information?

Whether people like it or not, religion is a part of who we are. If you're Aethiest, you're religious on not being religious. Would you vote for a Luciferian (Satan worshiper) for the sake of being diverse? Be honest with yourself and with this answer. Would you vote for a Jew, Muslim or a Buddhist? Would you vote for an Austrian whos father was a Nazi? Do you think it's a fair to ask what religion the candidate practices? Please be honest.

This is about Iraq and I'd like to see how many people can give an honest response without mentioning who is to blame and why (in their opinion), we're there. The fact that we are there is of relevance and not who's right, who's wrong, who's profitting, etc.

WE invaded their country, and please remember, that reasons don't matter when it comes to this question. How many remember white flags waving, entire military regiments giving themselves up, people dancing in the streets and rejoicing, statues of their dictator being destroyed, the first time that they went to the polls to vote, etc.

Keep in mind, that these people have lived under a dictatorship forever and have never known freedom or Democracy. This isn't something that is learned in a few years when having a mindset that these folks have been indoctrinated with for centuries.

If we simply pull out tomorrow. What will happen to those people who have supported us? Do you honestly think that they'll stand a chance?

I did. Yippee!!! I can't wait until I get to retire and all of my "benefits" from the "trust fund" will be paid to me!! Yippee!!

I called to opt out of the program, they said I would be arrested. Why? I got out of this thing where I gave 10 grand and a guy said I would get back 20 grand if I found five more people to give 10 grand. That's how Social Security works, right?

Can any of you kind people suggest how I could go about seeking rights in the UK to see my children or for taking custody of my children?

Thanks for reading

1999 war games predicted problems in Iraq
Exercise showed that chaos was possible even with 400,000 troops

Updated: 5:42 a.m. ET Nov 5, 2006
WASHINGTON - The U.S. government conducted a series of secret war games in 1999 that anticipated an invasion of Iraq would require 400,000 troops, and even then chaos might ensue.

In its “Desert Crossing” games, 70 military, diplomatic and intelligence officials assumed the high troop levels would be needed to keep order, seal borders and take care of other security needs.
The documents came to light Saturday through a Freedom of Information Act request by the George Washington University’s National Security Archive, an independent research institute and library.

Why do they believe in strategies that a child can tell are bound to fail?

As my boyfriend's visa was refused because of no savings, we now plan to marry in Tunisia. Can anyone advise what I need to do. Is there any point in appealing against the decision? I own my home, but only work part-time and have one child. I get working tax credit because my child is under 16 years, but I think the Embassy regard this as public funds!!! Once again we will have to submit the VAF2 when I go to Tunisia. What application do I need to complete to marry in Tunisia and is it correct that we need to go to the Embassy again to get a marriage license? Wow, my head is spinning! Any advice and guidance would be appreciated. My boyfriend is well educated, but likes to spend money same as me!

People have successfully sued bartenders, clubs, and even homeowners for serving people and then letting them drive drunk, and then that driver kills someone in an accident. We've also punished cigarette companies for knowingly promoting the use of a product that leads to death.

Isn't it time for people to begin holding cell carriers liable for deaths due to the use of their product while in a moving vehicle?

It's technically possible for them to prevent it. Cell phones are periodically pinging for the closest tower to establish a connection and constantly checking signal strength, so they can easily determine whether you are standing still or on the move. And, like tobacco companies, they clearly know that all the new features and gadgets (distractions) will be used in vehicles.

I believe in personal responsibility. But if it was OK to sue tobacco companies, bartenders, gun makers, etc., aren't cell carriers equally liable and negligent for their products' misuse?

Alcoholics Anonymous is admittedly a part of a religious cult. How can the courts justify forcing people to attend these meetings as part of their sentencing?

Hello everybody, I was wondering if you guys could help me out. I have an ex who heard through the grapevine that I was pregnant. He is 1000% not the father and he knows it. However, to add drama to both his life and mine he's gotten a lawyer and I got a letter saying that I have to submit to a DNA test. I could just "give in" and take the test but I'm so mad at him for doing this and getting me upset while I'm Pregnant(35wks) that I do not want my child violated when he's born...even if it is just a swab of the cheek. I live in Pa and need help, does anyone know what rights I have in denying him this test. Doesn't he have to prove he was with me around the time of conception? I mean really, can anyone just go to a lawyer with a false claim making accusations and force someone to give a DNA sample? Please only answer if you know about this type of situation. Thanks so much.

I know people are probably thinking "just take the test", but it's principle now.
