For so long I hear many conservatives say gay marriage is evil and will hurt children. Yet, divorce harms children a lot more than gay marriage would. Mom and Dad separate is going to hurt little Timmy more than if Bob and Tom get marry. We see the effects of divorce and cohabitation in society. It hurts children. Just click the link below.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071118/ap_on_re_us/child_abuse

-children living with steparents or single parents are at a higher risk for sexual assault

-Girls whose parents divorce are at a higher risk for sexual abuse whether they live with their mother or father

Why don't we stop focusing so much on gay marriage and concentrate on preserving marriages?

.
They state that the temperature on average, will increase 1.98F over the next 100 years, the same rate of increase as we had pre industrialization.

They also state that the sea level will rise 18 centimetres over the next 100 years.

From 3,000 years ago to the start of the 19th century sea level was almost constant, rising at 0.1 to 0.2 mm/yr according to previous UN reports.

0.2mm/yr is 20 centimetres over 100 years.

So in essense, they are saying, that the sea level will rise, less over the next 100 years, than it averaged rising over the last 3,000 years.

But the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is warning that climate change could have "abrupt and irreversible" consequences.

That doesn't make much sense.

Since thier own report, says that golbal temperature and sea level rise over the next 100 years, will be the same as we had pre industrialization.

Yes they also threw in alarming numbers.

You hate him going into war with Iraq well what else were we supposed to do. So alot of great presidents went to war. Our country is in dept and it was before he went into office. And Iraq will not get better if we pull out they will just come right back here and hit us again, but it would be worse WHEN they do it again.

I've met some pretty highly skilled people who are recruiters, and it seems like it would be a waste just having them behind a desk unless an injury is keeping them out of their field. It doesn't seem like a job people would want to volunteer for, to me. No offense to any recruiters here. I know you guys do a hell of a lot of work.

For God's sake, the guy is 78 years old. How dangerous could he be? Why don't the laws just admit they lost this one and move on to something else? They've wasted 12 years of taxpayers' money trying to find a guy who in all probability is dead. Admit defeat and stop wasting my money already.

ME and My girlfriend are messing around behind a building at night with not many lights. Its a parking lot.. There is no one around that area at that time. My question is will cops drive into lonely parking lots with two cars and second question is what are the consequences of public indecency? What if he catches with our cloths on in the back seat? We are both 19.... What can we do if this situation arises?

In Michigan there was a grand jury case where there was a proposal to take away the poeples right to vote for the presidential primaries. Nobody took it seriously nor new about it, sounds imposible. The judges said that they would never even concider voting in favor of ot. Within a week the judges who appossed it the most and lobbied against it for some reason (HUMMM I WONDER WHY, Could it be political conspieracy fueled by $$$). So it passed and the constitutional right's of the peoples right to vote was violated and there's nothing we can do abought it (sounds a little like apartide, don't it). What's next? how far will they go before the people get mad enough to exercise their right to bear arms and use them. Pretty soon the presidential election will only be voted for by the governors.

Is the time now? I'm so damn mad I'm almost to the point where I'm ready to go at it if you are. What do you think?

Sorry about the misspelled words my spell check doesn't work.

Can anyone who is considering voting for Hillary Clinton tell me why its a good idea that she supports giving social security benefits to illegal aliens, who by the way never paid a dime into the system?

What are the positive benefits that this country would reap by giving someone who never worked for something a free handout?

And please dont respond by telling me that she doesnt support this idea. I live here in DC and have heard her say it a good dozen times over the past year.

when it comes down to it how does any one have the right to say who should be here and who should not. Yes we were attacked and thats not cool but that's because our political leaders can't mind their own business and think that they can tell everone what to do. like i said WHAT WHITE MAN CAME ACROSS WITH GREEN CARD???

You answer to a 911 hang up call you respond to the call and go to the house. A male answers in his underwear and you tell him you are here due to a 911 hang up call. He says he will let you in just let him put on some pants. As he closes the door you see a young women covered in blood she yells out help he shuts the door and locks it and runs out the back door.

What action would you take?
What powers do you have to enter?
What would you do about the injuried party inside?
What would you do to help prove te victiums allegations? (shes been sexually assaulted)

You later learn the name of the involed person and that they met at a bar and went home together. He has a previous sexual assault charge dating back 2 years ago and is wanted by the Vancouver Police.

What action would you take now?
How would you prove that peters is the involved person?
Would you get a warrant for his arrest?
How would you prove you case?
What witness would you ask to speak to?

I was driving home from college (NY to IL) when I was pulled over by a State Trooper and he gave me a ticket for 91mph. I have no clue what to do as this is my first ticket. There is a plead guilty and not guilty. I'm don't think I can make the court appearance as I am a full time college student. What should I do? My friend said talk to the local District Attorney but I don't know how to find him/her. Appearance location is Avoca, NY in Steuben County which is like an hour and a half away from my college.

Dear Mr. President,

2007-11-17 12:57:50 · 9 answers · asked by SW 2 in Other - Politics & Government

O.K. I would like to know WHY I should vote for Giuliani for President of my United States.

Here is what I do know:

Yes, he ran the largest city in the United States and did a decent job of it. He didn't have to deal with a Congress to get his agenda across though. How does this qualify him to run a country... He has NEVER served on the national level.

He is a fairly liberal conservative (in my view). How do I know he will fight for what I believe in? The most important of which is restoring the economy and downsizing the federal government.

What can he offer me above that the other candidates (I'm talking in the GOP) can offer the most prestigious elected position?

Please let me know in your answer that you have ACTUALLY RESEARCHED THE OTHER CANDIDATES. Right now I am leaning towards McCain for several reasons (only one to serve in active (not reserve/guard) military, hates pork spending...).

Don't bash the other candidates. Tell me why I should vote Giuliani.
