Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said today that the "jury is still out" on whether or not humans co-existed with dinosaurs and other pre-historic creatures.

Responding to a question during a rally in Plainview, a Des Moines suburb, Huckabee said that it was possible that humans interacted with the giant reptiles as recently as 6,000 years ago.

"Did humans live alongside dinosaurs? I wasn't there, so I don't know for sure. But I do know that my Bible describes dragons in Genesis. They could have drowned in Noah's Flood," he said.

According to recent polls, Huckabee has surged in both Iowa and South Carolina.

Did you know that a French journalist was detained for 40 hours by the French secret services last week? The reason : he wrote an article a few months ago about a 300-page document leaked from the same secret services. This document clearly indicates that the French government warned the American administration, in January 2001, that Al Queda was preparing plane-based attacks. Do you think the journalist derserves to be jailed (what the government wants to do) or applauded for trying to shed light on a rather obscur topic?

What happened to me was not only stupid it was very unfair and there is nothing I can do about it without dragging it out further. It's expired now so I don't feel threatened to talk about it. Happened 5 years ago.

There was this 16 year old mentally challenged kid who used to stand in front of my house, on the sidewalk and shout obscenities at my house (yes my house, no one was outside) because according to him "AMERICA IS A COMMUNIST" he woudl swear and when I would go outside and ask hiim to leave, he woudl stand on the sidewalk and tell me it was public property and he could stand there all day. So I would call the cops and he would run when they saw him. The police spoke to the parents but it did not good. He kept coming back. The police suggested I get a restraining order so I did. I had to show up in county court which is a hours drive away. The restraining order was granted.

My daughter bought a van from me, I let her keep it in my name because the plate is still good and she can't afford to have it changed over right now. Now she took her drunk husband back, for the umteenth time. I made it clear he is not to drive that van while it's in my name - he drives drunk. The drunk, however, doesn't respect anyone or anything.
If I know he's out drinking and driving I'd call the police, obviously. But if he causes an accident, would I be liable for damages?

What if there was decades of intervention done openly and covertly in America? Why are so many people missing Ron Paul's point the occupation and manipulation of foreign countries breeds hatred and terrorism? Heck, we fought a war against our mother country over occupation and taxes, so we do have some idea. Like he said, the CIA warned about blowback in the 1950's. So terrorism isn't a surprise to those who have worked in the intelligence field.

You all know darn well Bush isn't running so why are you voting for a woman who's running against a ghost? Not one republican is for Bush, not one democrat or independent... so WHY do you allow her to get you emotionally involved with her lies and sneeky ways? Why are you drinking the purple Kool Aid?

The recession has a lot to do with credit and printing excess dollars out of thin air and backed by nothing.

Both are symptoms of banking and Federal private bank control.

What would better serve these banks and elite more than to have our economy fail.

Then they could introduce a new Union - a joining of Mexico, Canada and America - an international Union trade agreement and a new monetary system by introducing the Ameo - one currency.

Then the banks the banks have two new large territories they can get into to reap their greed.

Our fall is their gain, so how anyone can say that it doesn't exist and that it has not been planned is crazy!

It is in their best interest - not ours!

They don't care if you believe it or not

I am considering joining the Air Force after I graduate college because I am told that you are an officer right from the beginning, and there are many benefits including helping me with graduate school. I keep hearing all these good things, but I want to know the real side of it, and not from some recruiter because they are notorious for saying what I want to hear just to sign me up, it happened to an ex of mine who enlisted in the Coast Guard. Does anyone have any good information on joining and if it is a good opportunity for someone who works hard but does not know exactly what they want for a career. I will have a degree in Sociology by next fall. Thanks for the help.

It's the most right-wing Christian College in America.

ANY WATER GUN THAT IS SIMILAR TO ANY TYPE OF FIREARM FITS IN THIS CATEGORY. ANY WATER GUN THAT IS USED IN ANY WAY TO ANNOY ANOTHER PERSON WILL ALSO BE CONFISCATED."

I the mother, has FULL sole physical and legal custody.

My ex the dad, has "supervised visitation only"

He has never requested any information as far as health, or school records, he doesn't even visit more then one time a month and he has no reason he cant. He is not involved in their lives if at all not much. I was wondering if i'm legally required to provide him with ANY information or if im only obligated to make sure he get's his visits with the kids

He doesnt ask how there doing, he HAS NOT ASKED FOR ANY PAPERWORK SO I HAVE NO GOOD REASON TO INFORM HIM AS HE DOESNT CARE

It was determined 50+ years ago to be torture.

I don't want to be a nation that condones or practices torture!

We ARE better than that! That is what I always thought made the United States of America an awesome country!
We have technology and intelligence that make torture unnecessary!

Again if people were imprisoned for the use of waterboarding American prisoners of war 50+ years ago how can we now in 2007 accept the fact that the U.S. government is using this technique?
