I went to a gas station and was charged $.05 more per gallon beacuse I did not pay with cash. The sign posting this information is small, hard to read, and very easily missed. I do have pictures to confirm what happened.

This question is a little premature
I have 2 more years to finish university
I study animation and since all the big animation studios are in the USA. And although I would have liked to live in Europe; I think it’s more realistic to try my luck in America. What are my chances for an American Visa as an Israeli?
Just can’t stay here in in isreal as long as we do what we do. Arab killing Jews and Jews kill Arabs.
I want some peace and quiet.
What are my chances for an American Visa?
And even a citizenship eventually...

Hi everyone

I have just reported a drug dealer to the police.

The operator on the phone asked my name and address, I advised her. Will she inform the person that I reported of these details.

She also asked for his number plate of his car, but nothing else about the car, will the police be able to bring up who the car is registered to and the model ec just by the number plate?

What will the police do with the information that there is a drug dealer living near me?

the EU have finally given up on trying to convert us to metric, so the Pint, mile, pound and ounce will be here forever. Is this a sign of the EU realising they can't control everything we do? is the future looking brighter for the UK? or is this a bad thing, would we be better off with the perfect EU way?

There is no point in staying in Iraq when our borders are wide open. We know muslims are boiled up all over the world. So being in Iraq will not stop them from getting to south america, or mexico, and moving right on up to a open, and inviting border.

So WHY is Iraq more important than our borders?
How will 30,000 patrolling iraq stop another attack, but secure borders wont?

I would think that libs would hate the UN. They cause wars, stand by while entire tribes are wiped out and refuse to do anything when food earmarked for starving civilians is comondeered. Libs are supposed to be for peace and feeded the poor of the world right??

Petraeus based much of his assessment on the claim that violence in Iraq is dropping. That just isn't true:

Petraeus is using "funny math." According to the Washington Post, Petraeus and the Pentagon are using a bizarre formula for measuring violence in the country. For example, deaths by car bombs don't count. And assassinations count only if you're shot in the back of the head—not in the front.4

Iraqis believe the surge has failed. According to a massive new ABC/BBC poll, every single Iraqi polled in Baghdad, the primary target of the "surge," said it had made security worse. Iraqis themselves overwhelmingly think the situation in Iraq is deteriorating, in terms of security, political cooperation, the economy, and other measures. Overall, 70% think the escalation worsened rather than improved security conditions.

The slaves are dead, so we cannot do anything to settle things right with them. Slavery for reparations are impossible, because there are no slaves to make reparations to.

Most of the blacks growing up in the Jim Crow era are gone as well.

Younger blacks haven't experienced significant racism to warrant reparations.

But what about older blacks? There are some folks in their 50's, 60's, 70's and older who are still alive, and who experienced institutional racism. We can do something for them.

I think we should:

1) As a nation, present a formal apology (something more than what Clinton tried).

2) Provide reparations for institutional racism by way of special tax breaks to those of black ancestry, with increasing returns the older a person is (because the oldest suffered the worst).

Tax cuts, not payments. I think it would work and I think it's fair.

I also think we will have future regrets if we do not act before too much time has passed.

Thoughts?

I just want to buy a handgun for target practice/long-range shooting. I'm not going to bring it with me in public for protection. Do I need a license just to buy a handgun, or do I need to be of age and have a clean record?
