I have noticed in the past 2-3 years people are driving like nuts..I can't believe how bad drivers have become. We took about a two hour trip yesterday and I can't believe how people just cut you off..change lanes 3 feet in front of you. We saw 5 bad accidents on the highway...one where there was NOTHING left of this car, 3 cars destroyed and I'm sure everyone was dead. Of course traffic was backed up for miles from the gawkers staring like idiots as they came up on the accident further blocking traffic...as we passed there must have been a 1/2 of mile between us and the car behind us because these idiots wanted to get an eye full...even the traffic on the other side of the expressway was backed up...what idiots these people must be.

Since it's clear the Army brass set out to make a solid PR stunt out of Pat Tillman's horrible death, I would bet they wish he would have been black to really sell it. What do you think?

Religious fundamentalists are united by fear. Whether they are Christian, Muslim, or Jew, fear is the common denominator. They fear change, modernization and loss of influence. They fear that the young will abandon the churches, mosques and synagogues for physical and material gratification. They fear the influence of mass media and its ability to subvert the young with song, dance, fashion, alcohol, drugs, sex and freedom. They especially fear education if it undermines the teachings of their religion. They fear a future they can’t control, or even comprehend.

Perhaps it’s not surprising to realize that it is fear that also connects the myriad of nationalist, separatist and independence movements who also engage in political violence. Although experts, academics and analysts hypothesize about a multitude of causal effects that lead to violence and terrorism, fear is the underlying.

WHO the HELL would vote for a guy that thinks this way? When did politicians think there was a need for them to teach our kids about stuff like this? NO THANKYOU, our kids can learn it on their own and decide on their own... Agree?

I am after some criticism here or maybe your suggestions. I've recently launched http://www.myverdict.net, a political website. I believe a number of users have come from yahoo answers and that is why I ask my question here.

Is there anything about the site that turns you off.
What would you like to see on the site.
Have you any suggestions for a better design.
What kind of things would induce you to use the site.
Is the site easy to navigate.

Please feel free to be ruthless in your answers, I will not be offended. And may I thank everybody who cares to answer in advance.

It appears to me, that their corporate masters cannot lose either way.

Government of the corporations, by the corporations , for the corporations?

Any help would be nice. Please no rude comments.

My hubby recently started taxi-ing. Last night he took a girl into town, when they got there she asked him what he wanted and he was shocked and just told her to get out his car. Im annoyed, it was for over £10. He has a living to make and im wondering what he can do if it happened again? He thinks there is no point making a fuss as she might start shouting he did something to her and he thinks its better to lose the fare. Seems this girl never has to pay her fare with the other drivers and it angers me that the men let her do this. Legally, what could my hubby have done?

I cant pay my court fine right now. Is there a form to use? The fine is for missing my Mediation appointment. However I was late by 15 minuets. Its not my fault though becuase the buses dont run anywhere near the time of my appointment and I had to walk 1/2 a mile to the location.

I only ask because the company picnic is coming up. I think if I have an event to keep their interest they woun't be running off into the woods and doing the same thing that happened last year. Almost 9 months later a good part of my staff was out on maternity leave.

Not all of them. Only about a half a dozen. At first, to be honest, it was rather flattering but now I can't get from my parking spot to my office without being groped, teased and generaly confronted with their demands for gratification.

They are all very attractive women, well, one man too, and good employees. I suppose I could fire them but with the labor laws the way they are, I fear a wrongful termination suit

Obama said if Pakistan won't get the terrorists we will, alot of people tried to turn this around into him saying something else but he stuck by what he said. I respect that

Gulianni made an asinine comment about him doing as much as the 9.11 rescue workers. It was stupid but he must have believed it to say it, but as soon as he is called on it he backs down.

Romney says his sons are serving by supporting him and people misconstrue it to mean he said his sons are doing as much as the soldiers... THATS NOT WHAT HE SAID, but instead of pointing that out he backs down.

Kerry made a joke about Bush, people thought it was about our troops THATS NOT WHAT HE SAID but he backed down.

I'm tired of the politicians letting everyone put words in their mouths then apologizing for it. I would have much more respect for them if they said said something like "your wrong thats not what I said, it's on tape go back and look". What do you think?
