They didnt give the British any thing during the last war.They made us pay for it and we have only just finished the payment nearly 60 yrs later.Some friends they turned out to be.And will just one of them admit that if Britain had not declared war on Germany in 1939 then they would be speaking German now?
Please dont tell us about the axis and all that, we know. The American people didnt want to join in the war and they wouldnt have done. Never mind Japan Once they saw which way the war was going they new that if they didnt help out that they were in trouble.America was not a superpower in 1940. Britain was the only s/power we controled 25% of the world but even with all our resorses we didnt have enough, we were bled dry. We ask America for help and the only way that they would help us was if we purchased arms and food. They certainly never gave us anything. This is History not Hollywood. The British almost destoyed them selves trying to stop the Germans from overunning the world.

I'm a Security Guard. Today, I bumped into a former colleague of mine,who told me the site at which he is presently employed,has him working 14 hour shifts. Surely,this is against the Law isn't it? ...I thought the maximum you were allowed to work in a shift was 12 hours.
He says he's not happy about it and quite frankly,I'm not surprised. Amongst other things,iwould think this is a Health & Safety Issue. Am I right?

Senator Biden would allow uninsured Americans to buy into an insurance program that mirrors the Federal Employee Health Benefit Plan – the program that provides health insurance to members of Congress, their staff, and federal employees.
While the program will contain the same carriers and the same plan offerings, the new program will have its own insurance pool. Carriers in the FEHBP program would have to offer plans in the universal buy-in plan, but would have access to reinsurance to help with catastrophic costs for enrollees with greater than usual health costs. The buy-in program could also have an age-adjusted “payment” or “bonus” for plans that enroll older and less healthy people to help carriers avoid the effects of adverse selection.
People would be permitted to buy-in on a sliding scale based on income.
Small businesses would be allowed to participate in the program to help provide insurance for their employees.

How many years does a person have to get E-5 in the US Navy? I looked online and it says one thing and my husband is telling me another. I want experienced answers that are knowledgable not just an answer from someone who looks it up. I can do that myself.

Thanks!! :)

Why are most of these people considered felons? Why are they not allowed to live 500-2500 ft from schools/daycare centers/recreational centers/libraries? Why are all of these people losing their constitutional rights? Why are they on the sex offender registry for 10 years or life, depending on the state? How are children being protected by the registry if these people are on it? Do you know what I have been attempting to do with my questions?

I see some here are blaming people on the other side for the fires, but have any politicians blamed the other side for the fires in CA. Should we not try and help those in need, rather than use this as a photo op, or a chance to bash the other side? Does CA seem to have more of these fires than other states? Any guess why? I know it is a big state, I just do not remember seein too many of these in Montana, or Idaho.

Thank You As Always.

There is no legal ruling about this matter I think my local councillor hates the fact that I came second to him in the local elections for the British National Party with 520 votes. See the rantings of my local councillor www.johntaylor.labour.co.uk

Morality question: a brother and a sister (both adults) want to have a sexual, romantic relationship - and one of them is sterile so they can't have children.

Would this be wrong?

It's not hurting anyone else. And they're both consenting adults. Why would anyone say this is 'wrong' if there's no harm being done?

Why do some old British warplanes like the Spitfire have targets on their wings and/or body? Surely the aim is to avoid being shot at? So why give the enemy a target? Is it just a design? is it cockiness? or is there another reason??

My friends daughter was left £109000 by her grandmother, which was put in trust untill she was 21. Her father got in touch on her 21st birthday and started to threaten them with violence if they did not give him the money. The police were not in the least bit helpfull and my friend got so scared for her and her daughters safety that she signed the money over to him. As the daughter was 21 at this time, and legally intitled to the money, she did not know the money was gone untill she went to the solicitor to sign the money into her account, is there anything she can do to get her money back.

“One reason why we have the fires in California is global warming,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) told reporters Tuesday

So, yearly fires that happen since before the area was even settled are now due to global warming. And people wonder why I don't care about their whole stupid movement.
