I am at an appalingly horrible unfair advantage due to the laziness in the government. Say we were more like Southern Korea. Whyyyyy not!!! Duh we'd be sad we can't freakin play video games and get on the computer and not do anything with our lifes. But we are not forced. We have too much freedom. Freedom isn't free, but it is in excess. So why are we still fighting. Why is anyone in America lazy. Where did that behaviour originate. Why is it given the light of day to exist! At least in the hands of a decent dicatator, there would always be the forced activity to keep people's hands busy. I know I have the choice to make myself better. But I don't have the taught discipline to go through with it. That is a truth that other well-taught people can't even fathom. You are not in my place! You don't know what it is like! Please don't tell me that it is easy, it is not! I am sad that other people like this have to suffer. Not everyone can just stay busy. Maybe I am lazy but it isn't my fault

I've seen so many questions regarding Obama's "wrinkled clothing", Hillary's gender, and Edward's hair cuts, I'm wondering how these things will affect they way they run the country.
I'd appreciate honest, well thought out answers. This isn't a partisan question (although I did use Dems as an example), so there's no need to be rude.

ok so the deal is that on my birth certificate
my name [jessica]
is spelled as yessica.
i can totally understand how someone can
mess up a j with a y
especially since my momma has some sloopy
writing.

but
on my social
school information.
EVERYTHING
my name is spelled as
jessica.


now for the id i think that would
be a problem since they would probably
want to put how its written on the
birth certificate.

how can i fix all this?

Recently I sold a coin on ebay for $400 bucks. The buyer claims he never got it and wants his money back. I mailed the coin out but didn't have any tracking info so I don't know if he is lying or really didn't get it. He paid with a money order so I got paid and refuse to refund him as I paid a lot for the coin years ago ($300.00), my question is, can I get in trouble for this since its his word against mine ? I have a great feeback rating and if I refund his money, I would be out the money and the coin. I honestly mailed the coin so I know it got mailed out to him. What can he do ? I was told that since its not a large transaction, nothing will really happen. I feel bad he claims he didn't recieve it but I also am not sure he is telling the truth, it is easy to say he didn't get it and try and get it for free. Can I get in any trouble for this ??

About the United States war on Afghanistan, war on Iraq, and war on terrorism? Why did we go to these places? why are we there? where do we go next? what should happen next?

Are we there to help the people? Are we there for our own special interest? are we there to fight a never ending war on people who want to attack the U.S.? Are we there for retaliation? Are we there to get money for defense? Are we there to change their culture and government? Are we there to slow down their population? Are we there to have a better chance in turning Israel into a state of the U.S.?

Are the people that get the best intel by dressing and looking like people from the middle east Hispanic or Mexican?

These numbers included legal and illegal immigrants (16 million in total)

Wouldn't our country be better served by sponsoring Americans to relocate from overpopulated labor markets to places in need of labor?

It should be illegal to be over a millionare personally. But if the person promotes potentially world changing business ideas their overall fortune should be able to increase for the sake of their business. The imbalance in power is due to the personal choices of people who choose to waste money. With the gain in money we can put out help for people who are at a natural disadvantage. NO!!!! THE UNITED ***** FUNDS AND CRAP DON'T ALWAYS WORK!!! You have to be raised under a certain mindset to even care to take advantage of any special funds towards less fortunate groups of people. Their is and unchangable asset in some people which conflict with all opportunity. And lets be honest some people have more everything than others. Brainpower and whatever else makes them naturally above others, there is a reason in addition to discrimination and unequal opportunity. If we all had equal drive but unequal chance then their would be more of a problem. But there has been a rest with unequality.

I went through an amber light and if i had braked to stop the car behind me would have collided back of me and i wouldnt have stopped anyway so i wen throught the amber light and as my back wheel passed through it, it turned red. I ended up colliding with another vehicle and i admitted liability with my insurance. the police attended the scene and now 5 weeks later the police woman rung me saying she wanted to speak to me and ask about what had happened ??? and said i could be charged for going through a red light which means i will get 3points and 60quid fine.

I cannot believe what Rush Limbaugh said today ( August 20 ). Can you believe someone would actually believe, let alone say things like that? Its unbelievable in this day and age that the rhetoric has sunk so low. I can't believe this guy is still on the air.

Will their ever come a time when an athiest is elected president of the United States?
Will sanity and reality ever win over the mythology and ritualistic practices of others who fear life and refuse to accept death .
Does it make it easier to kill knowing that if someone is a good person they will be going to heaven .

I am a resident assistant at a local retirement home, and my bosses are being very impatient with the fact that I am pregnant. Occasionally, I'll call in sick to work because of nasty morning sickness. Also, I'll have to have my schedule adjusted for doctor's appointments and such. Now, the bosses are treating my like dirt, cutting my hours back drastically, and putting all of my other co-workers. I always work weekends now, I have the the worst shifts (night and graveyard), and even though I've talked nicely to my bosses about this, nothing is being done. They pretty much ignore my every request and continue to gripe and screw me on my hours and shifts.

What can I do about this!? Thank you!
