Do you think independence from the UK and the EU would benefit England? Why?

The Kurds and the Shi'ites have all the oil. The Sunnis want a lot of the Shi'ites oil. The Shi'ites will never give them a drop. And why should they? While the Sunnis were stealing the Shi'ites oil during the past 75 years, they never gave a drop to anyone.

So Bush's "democracy" - just deadly enemies stuck in a bloody feud - must and will fail!

Bush has only one rational (and immoral) reason to risk our guys in a foreign oil war: to blame his disaster on the next president.

The population of Iraq is 2/3 Shi'ite with the Kurds and the Sunnis splitting the rest. There are 4 Shi'ites for every Sunni. Bush's "democracy" is nothing but a Shi'ite clique. We have armed, trained, and protected the Shi'ite army for years. The Kurds are also helping the Shi'ites. Even Shi'ite Iran, our sworn enemy is helping the Shi'ites! Shi'ites rule!

And the Sunnis will never live under that rule!

Our guys are getting killed and maimed only because Bush will not admit his mistakes.

So I answered this question : Do you think god is punishing the scumbag hokies? VA tech massacre. Check. Gas leak in classroom. Check. Guess thats the price you pay for betraying your conference. All I said was that the Hokies transfering to the ACC had nothing to do with these incidents. 5 minutes after I posted my answer I received a message from Michael C. saying this: From: Michael C

Subject: Who cares?

Message: You think I give a damn one of your idiot friends got gunned down a VA Tech? No one gives a damn

This guy has been giving me crap all day making fun of my son because he was born handicapped, calling him a retard. Then he's been talking crap about my husband calling him a baby killer and how our military is a sham.

Why so angry Michael C? I'm sorry you have no friends, but with an attitude like that, I can understand why no one would want to be around you.

Has anyone else had any trouble from this jerk? Why fly off the handle over something so stupid?

Last year my boyfriend helped me take out a large student loan for school and he signed as the primary instead of the co-signer. I have been making the payments on the loan however all of the money has been spent...it is all gone. He took out the loan for me thinking I would only spend it on school tuition and in fact i used it on living expenses as well. I take responsibility in deceiving him and wish the whole thing had never happened. However I have no problem continuing to just pay on the loan but he wants his name off of it since the loan was used in ways he wasnt aware of and didnt sign accordingly for. Is there a lawsuit he can take up with me to take his name off of the account? Is there a legal agreement we can come to that says I am completely responsible for it? What type of lawyer would I speak to about this?

Are you in favor or against the Supreme Court overruling California's court decision to remove the words, "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance?

Is this an example of constitutional law breaking laws pertaining to separation of church and state?

I want to find out what some other people think about this recent issue. Alaskan air defense recently had to escort a Russian bomber out of restricted air space when it cam too close to the RA line. Tuesday Georgian officials claimed that a Russian plane came three miles into their restricted air space before leaving. Are they probing, are they trying to find out how far/close they can get to restricted air space before being found out ? What are they doing this for. It seems strange that they have violated two different air spaces in the same week. Whats up with this ?

A friend of mine is 18 years old, and her boyfriend is 17, almost 18 (in December), and we all live in Ohio. They have been together for about 6 months now. They both talked to the boyfriend's mother about having sex, and she is apparently OK with it. Since this guy is so close to being 18 (in December), if they have sex, and his mother is ok with it, can my friend get in trouble for it?

I would like to find out more about some WWII military badges used in a necklace and bracelet set my great uncle gave to my grandmother when he came home from the war. My grandmother was too young at the time to remember anything he may have told her about the gift and he has since passed away.

The badges are brass with enameling. The roundish badges have the motto of the Order of the Bath enscribed on them (Tria Juncta in Uno).

I've done several internet searches but haven't found much information.

Any information on who wore these types of badges, what they signified, or anything about jewelry made from military badges would be great.

If anyone knows of a good forum where I might ask, that would also be appreciated.

I posted a picture of the set here:

I got a summons for a state in which I spend half my time (rent an apartment, go to college, etc...). However, my primary address, voter registration, drivers license, taxes etc... are all in another state. I need help understanding whether I qualify as a resident in the state I got the jury summons from, and whether I must do jury duty there. Any relevant experiences or legal knowledge would be lovely, but so would general advice.

Thanks!!

Norway's Moose Population in Trouble for Belching
The poor old Scandinavian moose is now being blamed for climate change, with researchers in Norway claiming that a grown moose can produce 2,100 kilos of carbon dioxide a year -- equivalent to the CO2 output resulting from a 13,000 kilometer car journey.

And before you say: "you have but just havent noticed", CLEARLY that means it wasn't that big of a deal if I haven't noticed.

Moving on, I live in NYC. There are of course, illegal immigrants from every country here, but honestly, my life hasn't been affected by it. The only drug dealers I know are the people who I go to school with (who are ALL legal, white, and loaded), there are no illegal immigrants in my school, I've never had to wait at a hospital, and for the most part, all of the illegals live in one concentrated area. A lot of Spanish (and French and Hebrew especially) is spoken but I don't think anybody really minds because everything is in, if not only, English as well. Maybe its because where I live, but my life has never been affected.

READ BEFORE YOU ANSWER: THIS IS NOT TO EXCUSE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. I AM JUST WONDERING. PLEASE ANSWER HONESTLY AND RELATIVE TO THE QUESTION.

yet another example of our troops not getting what they need.

Seriously, if you care about the troops how can you support an administration that sends them to war without equipment that could save lives?

First of all, I am a Democrat, so I am not attacking the Dem. party. After watching Hillary in a few debates, her tone and statements are so polarizing and harsh. She stated that she has tons of experience fighting the "right wing machine." Of course, I want my party to have the next President, but I do NOT see how once she is elected (if it happens) how things will change when so many people and Republicans despise her! I would much rather have Obama or someone else who has a record of working on both sides of the aisle be our next President. Too many years of nothing getting accomplised are wasted years!! What do you think? And spare me the next President will be a Republican statements...that is not my question/answer.
