Why don't they wear Irish? having taken part in quite a few St Patrick's day parades, I have been surprised at how much "Irish" American bands look like Scots and at times even like Scottish soldiers from the British Army, and yet they (not all) claim to dislike the British. Take for instance the headdress for the Irish it is the Caubeen, why do "Irish" Americans then wear a balmoral or a glengarry? And correct foot wear, "ghillie brogues" are Scottish not Irish, if your irish wear regular brogues with double shodded soles. The balmoral is worn with ribbons tied; the glengarry with the ribbons left untied. The balmoral is worn level on forehead 1/2" above the eyebrows, with the cloth top pulled over right side of the head. The cockade should be centered over the left temple. The bow should be centered at the back of the head. The glengarry is traditionally worn canted to the right; 1" above the left eyebrow and 1/2" above the right eyebrow, with point of the glen centered on the

Would Christ support a government that provided assistance to the sick? Having read the New Testament, generally speaking Christ could be found amongst the poor or otherwise disenfranchised . . . Would a vote for national health care be a vote for a more Christ-like representation of American government and a vote against NHC a vote for further separation of Church and State?

A 18yr. old guy got my barely 15yr. old daughter pregnant and she had a baby that I'm raising both of them. I filed a complainant on him for having sex with a minor.He got her pregnant and left for the navy. Left me with the hospital bill and the responseability of raising both kids,my daughter and my grandson. Now he is back for leave and is walking around free. They arrested people on dateline for talking to teenagers about sex on the comp. and they haven't arrestted him yet.Is it because I live in a small town and county of hendry county Florida.And dateline came to Fort Myers and did there sting.Well how about the people that got pregnant, how come they don't go after them.The baby is now 1 1/2yrs. old. I couldn't file untill my daughter would cooperate with the police and untill now she wouldn't. He kept threatening her that he would kill her if she did anything.Well I finally convinced her that he would have to get by me 1st to try anything and she finally cooperated.let me know.

I think the question is pretty self-explanatory, but still, for clarification, I need this information for my Geography Project. I am in Grade 9, so please take care to supply information near-about that level. Basically, I need articles on the role of Sri Lanka, Pakistan etc. in terrorism in India. Waiting for replies....

The Smithsonian Instituion top guys have been removed and replaced, its time to continue cleaning house all the way down. Management continues to make up rules as they go along without following policy, Management approves of harrassment of employees from other employees. Wrongful termination of employees. Management would rather keep a government employee that does no work and terminate a Trust Fund Employee that does the work of three people. It's time for the Smithsonian to shape up or ship out. Government funding should be held back until improvement are made in all divisions.

Thank You

Can a group of people who have been stereotyped and discriminated for so long, have so much animosity against their oppressors that they will eventually become the oppressors; making the original oppressors the discriminated ones?

First he is not going to get nominated
secondly he will not be president
thirdly there are better and more qualified people who stand a better chance
Even if the voters dont pick hillary, i very much doubt, they would pick Edward
Itd very fancyful to think that he would be picked from a bunch of better qualified white men and women, call it racist, but if you think otherwise in a country where 80% are caucasian then you are decieving yourselves
They love the hype, but when it comes down to doing business on january 3rd, Democrats would never take a chance with Him, knowuing thiere are other qualified candidates that can win the white house
The presidency its not about making history I.E Hillary and Obama.....
The Kingpins in the Democratic party will pull all the stop they can to elect a qualified and winnable candidate............right now, they are permiting everyone to say or think whatever they like

before super tuesday february 5th the only ones left in the race? My guess is Romney -Giuliani-Paul
they are the ones with the money behind them I think Huckabee may still be in there if he gets 1 st place in 3 states and his campaign starts to generate money
mccain and thompson will give up their bids as well as tancredo and hunter . who do you think ?

Terrorists and criminal detainees deserve only the finest, chocolates on pillows, room service, world-class dining service, spa services and the like.

Anything less would be a violation of human rights. Abdul deserves his duck with mango chutney!
