Many present India as the next superpower. When I was there, all I saw was poverty, garbage, disease, discrimination, and exploitation. Children are used to clean stopped-up sewer pipes, and to serve as sex workers. More than 25% are illiterate. It's natural resources are being quickly stripped, forests are being cleared, and fertile land is being developed. It's products are poor in quality, and only sold in other developing nations. How in the world can people say its the next superpower?

What if George Galloway got to be Primeminister next Election ? How do you think the UK's relations with America and Russia and the rest of the world would be ?
I know this won't happen really, But the mind does boggle as to what would happen if he did make the seat.

See the RTBA website for details:

http://www.downsizedc.org/read_the_laws.shtml

Exerpt:

The “Read the Bills Act (RTBA).” RTBA requires that . . .

Each bill, and every amendment, must be read in its entirety before a quorum in both the House and Senate.

Every member of the House and Senate must sign a sworn affidavit, under penalty of perjury, that he or she has attentively either personally read, or heard read, the complete bill to be voted on.

Every old law coming up for renewal under the sunset provisions must also be read according to the same rules that apply to new bills.

Every bill to be voted on must be published on the Internet at least 7 days before a vote, and Congress must give public notice of the date when a vote will be held on that bill.

Passage of a bill that does not abide by these provisions will render the measure null and void, and establish grounds for the law to be challenged in court.

Congress cannot waive these requirements.

as an Englishman who is currently in the USA on business i feel i must ask this.
In my opinion the Americans are making great strides to rid themselves of this image, most of the cities have a improving infrastructure and recreational facilities.
I think in 10 years time the world will look at the USA more favourable than the poor cousin.
Anyone agree?

I spoke with my recruiter and he was telling me about vacation while on active duty. He said that you get a month of vacation a year. I know that you can't go while in Boot Camp obviously, but can you go on vacation while on active duty?

Can you go abroad? I would love to go to Australia and the Carribean, could I do that?

Also, they said that you get discounts on Flights as a Marine, and they also said you can fly for free on US military flights, is any of that true?

Please shed light, I greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

I am having a few problems at work, I am a hgv driver and wish to work by the book, ie take my breaks as and when required...
the problem is I have a colleague who works bent, ie uses another tacho so he doesnt need a break...
Problem is the bosses love him, as he is quicker than me, and I feel the sack is near..
I am an experienced driver (15years) he has 12 months experience..
He has worked here 2 weeks more than myself, (4 months),
In the time of working the boss hasn't asked for a single tacho..

My question is, do I have any rights to appeal if the inevitable happens given the fact I have only worked 4 months with this company..

Thanks in advance

I graduate college in two years. I would love to enlist as an Intelligence officer in the Marine Corps. I understand that while in Boot Camp I will not have a social life, I can accept that.

But when I get out, and I move into my MOS as an officer, do I get a chance to go out on weeekends while on Active Duty? I know that if I was shipped overseas or into a conflict that I would not have a chance to, which is fine. However, how often could I expect to go out in a week or a month while in the US on Active Duty?

Can't a deserter declair that any war is "immoral"
Is it possible for any free society to maintain a standing army, if soldiers are allowed to decide which orders they will obey?
Can we even retain an ordered society, if each citizen can decide which laws they will obey, and which ones they will ignore?
Are courts qualified to decide which war or which orders are moral, and which are immoral?

I see so many rude answers given to questions that
were from people who asked for all sorts of help, with
everything from dieting to depression or just needing
advice on what would be the right thing to do about
probelms in relationships.
So, if Yahoo! awards 10 points for the answer that's
voted the best, shouldn't the person who gives the
very worst answer get minus 10 points?

Congress is still hanging at 14% but the President jumped up considerably over the last poll to 39%.

Seems like people are holding the demoncrats responsible for the mess America is in, and more believe that Bush is doing what he was hired to do.

Think about it..

Stupid people tend to travel in large groups, and in a democracy the majority rules so where does that leave this country when the majority is uneducated and ignorant?

Up s*** creek without a paddle, that's where.

Most Americans view it as a no-win scenario: if we pull out, civil war, possibly genocide, probably a safe haven for Al-Qaeda will ensue; but if we stay, there is nothing for us to gain. I submit that what is at risk is actually much higher than that. The entire Islamic and Arabic world is watching Iraq right now.

If we pull out, they will see western democracy as having been tested and having failed. They will see that America carelessly occupied a country, and then abandoned it to civil war. Al-Qaeda may gain tremendous strength in the nation, and set the war on terror far back.

If we stay, perhaps another four years, and Iraq slowly gains more stability, western democracy in the Middle East will have passed an incredible test, and provide a shining example to the world. Al-Qaeda will have lost its mission to destablize the country, and we will have another strong ally in the region.

This is a battle of ideals, folks, and the world is watching. It is no time to back down.

I watched "to catch a predator" on MSNBC last night. They trapped a guy who had very sexually explicit chats with what he thought was a 14 year old boy. The news people caught him. Then the next day they went to trap another one and it ended up being him again, using a different name.he ended up at the boys house naked and was sentenced to 2 years in prison, 6 years supervision. Then i watched the local news about a teenager selling ecstacy pills and she's facing 120 years!?!?

Republicans borrow and spend the country into dangerous national debt while Democrates tax and spend, but at least don't create as much more debt as Republicans.
