A document says that a relative got a mother's pension. We assume he had a brother that we do not know about that served in the Civil War and that his mother got the pension and then left it to our relative. Supposedly she never came to the US. Would she have to be naturalized to get the money or could she request it over in Ireland?

I'm planing a prank on a friend of mine, listing him with a fake pic in the personals.

Is this in any way illegal?

We've had burglers come round twice in one week trying to steal our 2 motorbikes that are locked up outside because the garage too full to get them in. Anyway last Sunday night they tried to steal them but i saw them shouted to my dad and they ran off and then last night they came back again, the same people, and again i heard something and saw them coming down then drive, they saw me and run off. Im soooo scared of them coming back again, its horrible, my dad and brother said they cant do anything about it but chain up the gate. Its just horrible that ive seen them twice in one week, i just dont want them to come back :-(

I showed them this...

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

Three Dover officials say they've found a serious homeland security threat to chew on: gumballs.

So, with the approval of the mayor and the skepticism of the police chief in this central Morris County town of 18,000, the three aldermen are in the middle of a nine-month inspection of Dover's coin-operated gumball and candy machines.

How do feel about the support these young men and women are getting from the United States public? I am not talking about the right or wrong of the war. Just those brave people fighting it. I wish we had that when we returned to the land of the big px.

I was told as a kid about a friend's dad who was on board one of the "ghost fleet" battleships that was bombarding Normandy on D-Day. These were sunk at Pearl Harbor and raised in time to participate later in the war. I think the ship mentioned was the Texas. A huge 15 inch Nazi shell came crashing right through the side but failed to explode. It was rolling around below decks and no one knew what to do about it as they were "busy" laying shells of their own on Omaha Beach. One more bump and it could go off. It weighed as much as a Volkswagen. So a welder was sent down to secure a crude but sturdy frame around it by welding it to the deck. Later, when they had a safer time to take care of it, the shell was opened up. Instead of the usual Krupp detonator there was a block of wood! Inscribed on it in Hebrew were the words "Sorry I couldn't do more. God bless America!" Some Jewish slave in a striped uniform risked his life in a Nazi shell factory by pulling the switch. Neat, huh?

With Russia and Amercian relations weakening, do you foresee another Cold War beginning? If so, do you think that America could win again despite the economic degredation?

The Cold War was won by America through financial power but now America is not so financially secure and doesn't look like it will recover any time soon with the widening social classes. As a matter of fact, America is at war financial with it's self with the front on the middle class.

Having said all this, could America afford a two front financial war? Would America be able to sustain if other nations join pursuit, such as China?

There has been talk of China being in the position of Superpower in the near future with several nations like Russia rallying behind them in a bid to challenge US and NATO's economic and millitary supremacy. Do you believe that NATO members will allow this to happen?

I myself wished to immigrate to UK for better living(high money currency). We can see many people travel to UK legally/illegally to seek for jobs and livings, most of them become domectis servants or maids. Talk about it.
