New York City has 11 letters
Afghanistan has 11 letters.
Ramsin Yuseb has 11 letters. (The terrorist who threatened to destroy the Twin Towers in 1993)
George W Bush has 11 letters.
New York is the 11th state.
The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight number 11.
Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. (9 + 2 = 11)
Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers, was carrying 65 passengers. (6+5 = 11)
The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known. (9 + 1 + 1 = 11)
The total number of victims inside all the hi-jacked planes was 254. (2 + 5 + 4 = 11).
September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year. Again (2 + 5 + 4 = 11).
The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers incident.

Ok this is a followup question to several I've been asking about different aspects of living with your military husband. Ok, I'm back and forth about going with him. My mother and mother in law want me to stay home so they can support me and our new born baby. (He will be born and aroound one to three weeks old when my husband finishes his Infantry Training. I really want to be with him and I want us to be a family. Plus he's only been gone since August 27th but I miss him so much it almost hurts. So after he finishes and comes home on leave for a few weeks what would happen if I and the baby go with him to his new duty assinnment? Will we have a place to stay? What about transportation. We both drive (he and I NOT the baby lol lol) but we won't have a car with us. Also I found out that he will probably be assigned there for a limited time until he is deployed (15 months of not seeing him oh horrors!!). From a previous questionit could be as little as 45 days.Where dowe live?

I'm not asking who you would vote for, just if you will or not. If you're not 18, then would you vote if you could?

Say the martial artist injured an untrained person in a fight. Does the law differentiate between one who is trained and one who is not? Compare that to a fight between two untrained people.

In some nations, only one political party is allowed to exist. It is believed that such a system best unifies the citizens in a common purpose. In other nations, many political parties representing a variety of policies compete with one another to form the government.

These are not in my book, I have looked in every Civil War chapter. The questions are:
Who is the last general to surrender to the North?
and
Where was the last shot fired of the Civil War?
If you could please help me with these, I would really appreciate it! And it would be helpful if you could supply a webpage or a source, but you don't need to.
Thanks to all who answer!!

I'm 22 years old and live in Virginia. My former employer states that she filed a police report for items that i stole. I took 100 dollars, some books i was reading and intended to return, and also 2 bread pans i borrowed with intention to return. All of which i have returned to her. I haven't heard from the police at all about this. Was a little over 2 weeks ago. This is my first offense and i apoligized to my former employer. I know that what i did was wrong and feel terrible. I know i can't change what i did, no matter how hard i wish i could. She has also stated that she is missing a pair of jeans (I wear a size 2 she wears at least a 7), a baseball hat (i don't wear hats), and some scrap booking item (which i don't scrap book). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Serious answers only please. Thank you in advance

I've heard of this, but don't really understand what it is. What are the pros and cons? How would it differ from a capitalist democracy? I'm not for or against, just want to know.

It really is difficult to remain unbiased when it comes to discussing Americans. They arrogate to themselves the right to act as this planet's policeman, to condemn other countries for real or perceived breaches of human rights and to rail against forms of government which in American eyes are less democratic than theirs. As Americans are such good Christians, surely they know the passage in the Bible that says: "O thou hypocrite, before thou wouldst remove the splinter from thy brother's eye, attend to the beam in thine own eye!" Never has a passage from the Bible been more apt. So naturally do Americans become defensive when their own shortcomings are pointed out to them, because to face the truth would be unbearable.
Which other self-proclaimed peace-loving country has waged so many wars against smaller defenceless countries, has allowed the members of their military to commit atrocity after atrocity going back to WW2, the Korean War, Vietnam, and now Iraq?
In what other country do you need to be a millionaire or at least be able to raise millions in order to be elected to parliament or chief executive?
Where else on this globe has the education system broken down and/or deteriorated to such an extent that children no are no longer able to read and write or do simple arithmetic and need to take remedial classes upon entering college?
In which other country with the exception of certain Middle Eastern nations does a small fundamentalist religious minority have the power to manipulate both government and the media to enforce a Victorian concept of morality upon an unwilling population?
I could go on and on, but let this suffice.
No wonder Americans are sensitive when it comes to discussing their shortcomings
