I guess I should have added one when I got married last year and went through all that name-changing b.s., but I did not at that time. Now I regret it. My maiden last name was very unusual while my married last name is very common. Since taking that name, I have been confused with others at the doctors' office, etc.

Anyone know how to go about this? I haven't been able to find the answer to this anywhere. Most people already have middle names...

As a corrections officer, every two years we have to get recertified and that means getting sprayed with Phase 3 OC Pepper Spray again, along with tear gas. The gas is not as bad as the OC obviously. Someone was telling me of different ways to get rid of the pain, like dawn dish soap, milk, and shaving cream. Someone else said there was a solution you can buy. Any ideas?

My point is this: Legal Immigrants have made this country great. They have patiently waited for their place in line, and have followed the rules.

Does it make you mad that others who are here ILLEGALLY get rewarded for not playing by the rules? There are many opinions out there about AMNESTY, but I want to hear from legal immigrants who came here by following the law of the land. The process was long and you did it right.

Az court ordered a judgment for alimony. The wife is in Az the husband resides in NC. Does Az have jurisdiction over NC and does an employer have to abide by another states judgment? Does the court or the employer have any obligation to inform the employee that this is going to happen?

On the internet there are millions of news sites, personal blogs, discussion boards in which countless people rant about the US govt. or society or people. Once people all over the world access internet and read all this stuff, they start visualizing America in a very negative fashion.

In several other countries, news and information like this is not so easily or openly talked about & accessible to people outside their country. That helps others maintain their stereotypes & good opinions about those countries.

Don't you agree? Shouldn't internet be little more private, when it comes to being accessible to the world?

He's exactly what we need. He united the country, spoke out against political parties and the spliting in the government as a result. He beleived in honesty and integrity, and he was intelligent.

I'ld love to see somebody retort to that.

I was raped this past weekend. I'm doing okay - what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger, right? But anyway... I was just wondering if it would be worth it to press charges against the man. He's 20, I'm 17. I consented to the first time we had sex and told him I didn't want to again which is when he raped me. I fought, I said no - it was straight up rape, no question.

My question is... is it even worth it to go through the horribly painful process of court to get him maybe probation for a few months? I mean... a "stupid 17 year old girl" vs. a "20, practically 21 year old majoring in political science and philosophy at the U of M" ... who will win, honestly...? You know what I mean?

I guess I just want to know if the process of rape cases are as painful as they are rumored to be... What could I expect if I pressed charges?

I got a rape kit done at the hospital the next day, fyi. So that's a factor, I guess.

Any advice, really would be great - my friends aren't too helpful

I want to join the army reserve, and am really athletic, but I cant do push ups (I can do like 1).
If I cant do them will they scream at me, or encourage me?
What about overall, screaming and yelling or encouragement?

What I mean is, at what age do people start questioning what he/she read instead of taking it as face value?

For instance, someone reads one article and automatically believes what is written.

At what age do you think people start questioning the article and start seeking other points of views and coming to their own opinion/belief through inductive/deductive reasoning

The reason I ask is, most immigrants would be set in their ways culturally and how they think the government should be run, so they wouldn't have had enough time to assimilate and become "Americanized". Which may conflict with our cultural and moral values and the way we have run the gov. since it's inception. So they come here, and if there is a high enough population of them in a given district of a state, a politician will most likely pander to them and try to introduce legislation that would favor them, yet most native born citizens would probably disagree with. Or they may elect one of their own to office. Either way, it may eventually completely change the landscape of this countries cultural/moral values, laws and our gov.; at the very least it will change the local areas.

Wouldn't it be better to have a law that forbid immigrants from voting. Allowing only their children that were born and raised in the US to vote? Since they would most likely be fully assimilated.

There is a real possibility that within the next 30 years China, India, and the European Union could become superpowers due to their rapid economic and population growth rate.
How would this affect America's status in the world?
What would be the repercussions if this were to happen?

angry frustrated americans? or foriegners? the way i see it americans have to see this every day, foriegners are really only on the outside of our mess. americans realy have more motivation in my opinion to be angry and outraged and take it out on our govt, probly not on other americans but that depends on how blinded they are by their anger. anyway who do you think is more dangerous to our country and why?

Christian Zionism is a theology that supports a political regime based on apartheid and discrimination - yet millions of people in the US express their support for it. How dangerous is it given the US role in the Middle East?
Christian Zionism is essentially Christian support for Zionism. Zionism is a political system based on ethnic exclusivity giving Jews preferential political rights which are denied to Palestinians. The United Nations has defined Zionism as a form of racism and apartheid. Nevertheless, in the words of Grace Halsell the essential message of the Christian Zionist is this: “every act taken by Israel is orchestrated by God, and should be condoned, supported, and even praised by the rest of us.”

Are you going to sit back and let Christian extremists aid Jewish extremists in their dangerous ideology.

I am in college right now. I am just starting my Junior year. I am really interested in seeking something in the military, or uniformed services after school. I know whatever I choose is up to me in the end. I am just seeking some advice, and experience fron everywhere. I was majoring in law enforcement. I like the aspect of how law enforcement helps people. I really just feel though it is not for me. What I am interested in is helping out people animals. Working with people. Making a difference to someone. Also giving back to my country. I don't want to do anything with using force, or lethal force. My two weakest subjects are math, and science. Thanks for any advice, and listening to this long story.
