I was buying batteries at a store. The store owner asked my name so I told him. Then he asked me what I would name my future kids? He also asked me do I like cats. I was a bit shocked and then told him. He was in his late 50's. I'm sorry do men ask this to a lady they never even seen or met before?

Now, i am suing him in small claims for a $60 battery which was new, that died the next day. Found out it was a defective battery, and that my phone only accepted a brand name one. He refused credit to my account or a refund. He knowingly sold an incorrect battery. He also has many outstanding negative remarks about his business-this I found out later. Can this personal stuff that he was asking me be a ploy, creepy, or what? Should I bring this up in court as well?

I just learned that people are using photo editing software to make women in porn pics look younger... like way younger. I think this brings up many questions of morals and ethics. I mean, one of the reasons that downloading and sharing child porn is criminalized so severely is because it encourages an industry that exploits and harms children. But if there are no children involved, does it change? If the model is techically legal, does it become illegal to modify her picture so that she looks underage? Is this criminalizing thought?

I don't know what to think. It's horrifying. It seems like even though we have done so much and come so far with strict enforcement against sexual assault and exploitation of children, the market demand seems to keep finding new ways and loopholes to get what they want. It's sickening.

What do you think?

well i happen to know for a fact that most of them do pay taxes. they cannot claim taxes because only one person can claim per ssn. so in order to get a job they think of 9 numbers off the top of their heads. then they pay taxes just like all the other workers. so how do they get a tax return and where do you think it goes? next of all. I live in a county where the welfare line is outragous. you have to wait 3 hours in order to talk to a case worker. there is about 1% mexicans. then about 95% is white american. 80% of white americans standing in line are on drugs. i am no expert but i have common sense and eyes to see what is going on around me.

Zogby: Majority Favor Strikes on Iran

Monday, October 29, 2007 9:47 PM

Article Font Size




A majority of likely voters - 52 percent - would support a U.S. military strike to prevent Iran from building a nuclear weapon, and 53 percent believe it is likely that the U.S. will be involved in a military strike against Iran before the next presidential election, a new Zogby America telephone poll shows.


The survey results come at a time of increasing U.S. scrutiny of Iran. According to reports from the Associated Press, earlier this month Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice accused Iran of "lying" about the aim of its nuclear program and Vice President Dick Cheney has raised the prospect of "serious consequences" if the U.S. were to discover Iran was attempting to devolop a nuclear weapon. Last week, the Bush administration also announced new sanctions against Iran.


Democrats (63 percent) are most likely to believe a U.S. military strike against Iran could take place in the relatively near future, but independents (51 percent) and Republicans (44 percent) are less likely to agree. Republicans, however, are much more likely to be supportive of a strike (71 percent), than Democrats (41 percent) or independents (44 percent). Younger likely voters are more likely than those who are older to say a strike is likely to happen before the election and women (58 percent) are more likely than men (48 percent) to say the same – but there is little difference in support for a U.S. strike against Iran among these groups.


When asked which presidential candidate would be best equipped to deal with Iran – regardless of whether or not they expected the U.S. to attack Iran – 21 percent would most like to see New York U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton leading the country, while 15 percent would prefer former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani and 14 percent would want Arizona U.S. Sen. John McCain in charge. Another 10 percent said Illinois Sen. Barack Obama would be best equipped to deal with Iran, while Republican Fred Thompson (5 percent), Democrat John Edwards (4 percent) and Republican Mitt Romney (3 percent) were less likely to be viewed as the best leaders to help the U.S. deal with Iran. The telephone poll of 1,028 likely voters nationwide was conducted Oct. 24-27, 2007 and carries a margin of error of +/- 3.1 percentage points.


Clinton leads strongly among Democrats on the issue, with 35 percent saying she is best equipped to deal with Iran, while 17 percent would prefer Obama and 7 percent view John Edwards as the best choice. Giuliani is the top choice of Republicans (28 percent), followed by McCain (21 percent) and Fred Thompson (9 percent). One in five independents chose Clinton (21 percent) over McCain (16 percent) and Giuliani (11 percent). Clinton was the top choice among women (24 percent), while 14 percent would be more confident with Giuliani in the White House and 11 percent would prefer McCain. Men slightly prefer McCain (18 percent) to Clinton (17 percent) on this issue, while 15 percent said Giuliani is best equipped to deal with Iran. The survey also shows there is a significant amount of uncertainty if any of the long list of declared candidates would be best equipped to deal the Iran – 19 percent overall said they weren’t sure which candidate to choose.


There is considerable division about when a strike on Iran should take place – if at all. Twenty-eight percent believe the U.S. should wait to strike until after the next president is in office while 23 percent would favor a strike before the end of President Bush’s term. Another 29 percent said the U.S. should not attack Iran, and 20 percent were unsure. The view that Iran should not be attacked by the U.S. is strongest among Democrats (37 percent) and independents, but fewer than half as many Republicans (15 percent) feel the same. But Republicans are also more likely to be uncertain on the issue (28 percent).


As the possibility the U.S. my strike Iran captures headlines around the world, many have given thought to the possibility of an attack at home. Two in three (68 percent) believe it is likely that the U.S. will suffer another significant terrorist attack on U.S. soil comparable to the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 – of those, 27 percent believe such an attack is very likely. Nearly one in three (31 percent) believe the next significant attack will occur between one and three years from now, 22 percent said they believe the next attack is between three and five years away, and 15 percent said they don’t think the U.S. will be attacked on U.S. soil for at least five years or longer. Just 9 percent believe a significant terrorist attack will take place in the U.S. before the next presidential election.

That seems like a stuiped question what I'm asking is can I profit from whatever personal injustice I've been exposed to? My pasteur lied and told the police that I wanted to murder someone by pouring sulferic acid on his face because I told him that he would drown in the burning lake of fire and brimstone and then he called my father and said that Iw as full of anger and bitterness and hate, ruined my reputation at university... How much money can I milk off of this guy? I almost got charged with attempted murder and have a police record.

There is a guy who is constantly harassing me for sex.... he e-mailed me at work numerous times demanding sex from me saying "why won't you suck me?" how much money can I milk off of this guy?

Lemme clear, i am not absolutely against Bush.

Atleast the guy took a strong stand for his nation unlike our Indian sissy politicians. The reason why terrosists enter India is bcz our politicians aren't tough enough like Bushy boy.

But we all know that a lot of people expecially those in Muslim countries like Iran,Iraq,Pakistan, etc etc don't like Bushy boy.

Lol, even many Americans don't like him.

So, the competition is tight.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hey, Americans, plz send George Bush to India. I think he will make us a better country in 10 years.

Think about my deal?
