My wife and I are both elderly and frail UK citizens.

We can't keep guns, and would be no match for any young thug who broke in or threatened to kill, maim, or harm us

The Government is not interested in us, and the Police would arrest and prosecute us. -not the intruders if we used "Unreasonable Force" (as if we could!)

Has anyone any brilliant, practical ideas on what we could employ that would be "REASONABLE FORCE" please?

We lock and bolt all doors and windows, and have a burglar alarm with Panic button, already, - but I am looking for something more 'aggressively defensive' -if you know what I'm trying to say. - Something a jury would have no hesitation in deciding "He was defending himself ! NOT GUILTY!"

I know there are many reasons why our countries go to war but I find the politics of it all really hard to understand. I have looked on the internet at different sites that discuss the current war in Iraq but I find it so complicated. It was always my understanding that in the current War, we sent our troops to war so that they can intervene and stop one side in a country from attacking the other side (i.e. Sadam mistreating his people etc.). Isn't the real reason why we get involved in the conflicts in one country due to the oil and money? I once read that if one of the dictators got complete control over it they would make the price of oil mega expensive. Sorry if I sound really dumb, I would just like to know people thoughts, in a nutshell if possible as I don't understand it and feel I never will. Any links to websites that contain easy to understand info would be great. Thanks

Hillary has already promised what will cost each worker about $8,0000 per year. He plans to spend almost $800 Billion have to be paid for by American families.

The amazing thing is that she will likely promise 2 to 3 times more spending.

Maybe your best bet is to simply not work.

A tourist came to America for 3 months and finally decided to get married in the United States. He has not yet received his green card because the girl ran away, even though he is still married to her legally as it shows on paper. This man is stuck in the country and is nervous of being deported back to where he came from. In regard to that, can he divorce her or vice versa and reapplies for his own green card? What are the appropriate steps for him to start since the girl never did hand in the paperwork to the lawyer or part of the paperwork has been turned in to a lawyer? Or, which route should he take in order to live in America legally without being afraid of being deported to where he orginally came from? Please give me some advices regarding this matter as soon as possible.

The reason the price of corn is going up through the roof is because of its use for alternative fuels. Now there are riots over the cost of tortillas in Mexico.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Blanket surveillance like CCTV systems, facial recognition software, telecommunication and vehicle tracking, the DNA database etc. etc. does nothing to stop criminals, terrorists, or 'social problems' and it doesn't make anybody feel any safer.

If it doens't solve any of the problems it was brought in for, what exactly is it there for?

This is a particularly thorny issue because the debate is often wrapped in several layers of hypocrisy, often leading to many humanitarian plans but no actual improvements. Liberals take pride in buying products made in accordance with child labour regulations although this means that companies will move from places such as Bangladesh and the previously employed children will end-up in forced prostitution. Conservatives take pride in “saving” fetuses but look down on single mothers as undesirables. Everybody decries child abuse by priests after trials but before that it is a taboo subject. Everybody decries forced labour and prostitution but after we reassure ourselves of our high moral standard, we forget about the solutions. To most people, the girls raped in Cambodia or the children staving in Sudan are world problems, issues to put on a bumper-sticker so everybody can see how moral we are.
