Let me tell you where I stand:

1. This country belongs to the English - are you with me so far?
2. You dont and cannot become 'English' just cause you happened to be born here. To be English, your parents must BOTH be English, and there parents before them. Only white anglo saxon people are and can ever be English. Got that?
3. It makes me laugh on job applications where it asks for ethnic background and says 'packistani British or afro-carribean - british or african-english: WTF!
Are you willing to let England go, cause I am not.

China has denied reports that its military hacked into the computer network of the US Department of Defense in Washington.
A Foreign Ministry official said the claims "reflected Cold War mentality".

The Financial Times quoted US officials as saying the Chinese army made the attack, which crashed part of a system for the defence secretary's office.

Last week China dismissed reports that its armed forces had infiltrated German government computer systems.

Given the actions of the British, widespread revolutionary propaganda and the words of Thomas Paine, why would so many colonists still not be willing to call for a new and independent nation? Give at least three reasons and list supporting examples.

Always, we have to do what they say and get beaten up if we argue, they appear to be people who have not got the guts to join the military, they are in the main ignorant and just want to hassle as many people as they can.

Belgium is a ficticious country with two distinct languages and cultures and an array of sub-cultures. Some would say it is amazing this nation has survived almost 200 years.

Since its founding in 1830, has the language of dissent ever been this strong for a separation of Flanders and Wallonia? Please provide specifics if you can.

MEXICO CITY — President Felipe Calderon blasted U.S. immigration policies on Sunday and promised to fight harder to protect the rights of Mexicans in the U.S., saying "Mexico does not end at its borders."

The criticism earned Calderon a standing ovation during his first state-of-the nation address.

"We strongly protest the unilateral measures taken by the U.S. Congress and government that have only persecuted and exacerbated the mistreatment of Mexican undocumented workers," he said. "The insensitivity toward those who support the U.S. economy and society has only served as an impetus to reinforce the battle ... for their rights."

California was the home and property of Mexico. They obviously want it back. Should we give it to them? Just pack up all of the American citizens and move them out?

I am looking to join the Air Force, and I would like them to pay off my student loans and hopefully get the GI Bill, but when I talked to my recruiter, he said I could either have one or the other but not both. Im not too concerned about a sign on bonus, but I was wondering is there anyway I can negotiate with them, or is it set in stone?

My husband was driving down a residentual street and a lady backed out of her driveway and backed into him. The back of her car hit the side of his truck.
Who's at fault and who gets the ticket??




The police gave my husband the ticket. They didnt' see the accident and claimed he was speeding. My husband said he wasn't.
The cop gave my husband a ticket for improper passing and the lady didnt' get a ticket.
Shouldn't it be the other way around. Shouldn't the lady get the ticket?
