Many of those in california are living in forrests and suburban areas that have been prime habitat for forrest fires. Why should we protect them when they weaken our control of fires by forcing fire fighters to defend places they sould not.

They seem to be very much in favor of Mexican and South American immigrants, legal or not, vs the rest of the worlds legal immigrants that come to the US. So, basically, I wonder sincerely, if it was people other than Mexican and South Americans that are flocking into the US illegally, would the Democrats stand up and demand amnesty for them or treat them equal to all other nationalities that come here legally.

a) Find out the next 17 offices (as defined in the 20th and 25th Amendments to the Unites States Constitution, and the Presidential Succession Law of 1947) that will take over, and in what order.
b) Then, tell me who currently holds each such office

thanks sooo much!!!

The state and local response stands in sharp contrast to the emotional and logistical collapse of Ray Nagin and Kathleen Blanco. Will those two, at last, get the humiliation they so richly deserve?

For those who have served in combat, what is war like? I am in my early twenties, have never been in the military and do to medical conditions I could never really serve. I have a lot of close friends of who are currently serving or have served in the Marine Corps. With the wars going on, I find myself stopping at times thinking to myself, These are my friends over there, the kids I grew up with, kids just like me. So what is war like and how has it changed you?

I wanted to put some recipes together for a book. Some recipes are original to me, others I originally got from a book and changed it around over the years. How different would a recipe have to be for it not to break any copyright laws?

With the exception of a misread 2nd amendment, what is the biggest argument against gun controll?

Serious answers please.

And since people will shout about the 'misread 2nd amendment' comment:
"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

I'm doing a paper on rape and I feel that statutory rape is the most important type of rape to be tried in court, but I'm not saying that other types of rape aren't as important.

I was just wondering HOW these child rapists find their victims and what are ways to prevent this from happening to your child or yourself. What are the signs that a minor has been raped? Why do rapists do it?

And if you would, please add some web addresses to any statistics you know as of what gender the child rapists are and such. Thanks =]

Hi, thank you for reading my question. Me and my friends ambition is to join the Marine Corps. We have done anything possible to be able to qualify. The only thing that is wrong is that she is an immigrant. She has been here for 9 years. Do you need to be a United States citizen to be able to be one of the few and the proud? Please, help me. Thank you so much.

AHFH in Hawaii is just awful. They gave me a mailbox key that didn't work then tried to charge me $25 to change the lock. After 4 phone calls and alot of bitching they agreed to do it no charge.
Now, we have been living here since May and we have had people out here 4 times to figure out what is wrong with our downstairs toilet. They could never figure out why it overflows all the time. Today I demanded that the man look inside the toilet for a blockage and he found a large plastic thing. He says he can tell by looking at it that it was recently flushed and that we are going to be billed for his visit.

I am going to lose my mind on someone!

He's beating Kucinich already (that's the problem with friendly fire, evidently). It won't happen, but if it did, and nobody sued him for his TV time... what happens when the two evil entities destroying this country are threatened?

Hi I was wondering can a MEPS doctor disqualify you for false reasons. I was wondering this because my packet was sent down to MEPS and was unjustified to take a physical, because of interior derangment (unstable joint), so I didnt even see a doctor. To me thats defamation of character, becuase he didnt even look at me. So I went to my doctor and phyical therapist (by the way I torn my ACL and had corrective surgery on it 4 years ago). Well my therapist and doctor said that did not have a deranged joint and I was given a test using a machine to determine if the joint was lose its not. So my recruiter sent it over the MEPS doctor the naval bureau of medicine to look at it. And my recruiter said if they say the same thing we can fight it because I wasnt even given a physical. So I'm wondering will I probably get to take the physical now since I have documentation of proof that I dont have a unstable joint. Thank you sorry for it being so long.

Our federal government has given it's view of "marriage", being the union of one man and one woman.

We are beginning to see the movement for civil unions. Beginning in January of 2008, 10 states, plus D.C., will have offer civil unions.

Are they recognized, or are they not? We are only defining marriage, but not the "civil unions" or "domestic partnerships".

The California wild fires started on October 20th. Federal aid was not deployed to help until Oct. 22nd. and the President isn't even scheduled to arrive in the area until Oct. 25th.

San Diego being one of the hardest hit areas and being predominately white... does GW hate white people too?

Or is it that he allowed the state to handle state issues UNTIL Governor Schwarzenegger requested the help from the federal Government following proper proceedures. Just look at how it is handled..

When the topic "World Religions" came up in the cirriculum, my global teacher freshman year did more then teach us. He over stated his "opinion" as he liked to call it. He said there's no way religion can be real bc it originated from people like you and me. if religion isnt real that must mean no god? he said people are all brainwashed and stated 'facts' with good info to back it up. For example, he basically said how can "God" create the world and explained how theres no such thing with believable facts. If youre reading this im sure you probably dont believe in god eathier but thats besides the point! The point is that being in his class all year, this teacher not only changed my faith but he changed my perspective on life. He basically in 'nice terms' told us that we dwelled from evolution and just sprung up as people each with an individual personality. and people like you and I created religion to form a sense of control.
