At my work we end up replacing our U.S. flag about every 3-5 months because of regular wear and tear from the weather. We have about 8 used flags in their original boxes because I know you aren't supposed to dispose of them. So my question is what are you supposed to do with flags after you're done using them?

Many so called experts such as Exxon Mobil and Al Gore think Global Warming is fact.
Its funny how they argue that 'cyclical global warming' and 'man-made global warming' can be proven by science but even scientists ,that spoke to a non partisan panel ,agree they do not have enough evidence to conclude either theory correct.

Its strange also how Exxon Mobil who used to say there was no global warming happening, which I believe wholeheartedly, now it believes it does exist as a cyclical warming.

I guess they have numbers that suggest it comes around every 500 years or so.

Thats ridiculous

They have no proof whatsoever that cyclical or man made global warming is factual.

Exxon Mobil is lying.

You provide the arms & money to put the Taliban in power in Afghanistan. Then you expect us to help sort out the mess you caused in the first place. Just a little out of order don't you think?

My mom works for her dad (my grandpa) and when she went over to their house I found a joke that I faxed to them a couple of days ago. And underneath the joke was a letter from my grandmas' cousin saying that she is related to Jimmy Carter. And even though I'm not as much related to him as my grandma, I would still like to meet him. Does anyone know how I could?

When it is unconstitutional and illegal? It runs against the definition of liberty when the government has control over the produce of your life.

If they do, consider your tax increase:

A family making $45k will pay ~$1600 more.
A family making $60k will pay ~$2100 more.

And as far as I can tell, these amounts do not adjust for the child credit. So if you have children, prepare for an added increase.

Use the link below to determine what your approximate tax increase will be.

"We must use terror, assassination, intimidation, land confiscation, and the cutting of all social services to rid the Galilee of its Arab population." - David Ben-Gurion, May 1948, to the General Staff. From Ben-Gurion, A Biography, by Michael Ben-Zohar, Delacorte, New

"[The Palestinians] are beasts walking on two legs."-Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, speech to the Knesset, quoted in Amnon Kapeliouk, "Begin and the 'Beasts,"' New Statesman, June 25, 1982.

"Our race is the master race. We are divine gods on this planet. We are as different from the inferior races as they are from insects. In fact, compared to our race, other races are beasts and animals, cattle at best. Other races are considered as human excrement. Our destiny is to rule over the inferior races. Our earthly kingdom will be ruled by our leader with a rod of iron. The masses will lick our feet, and serve us as our slaves."

I am absolutely amazed at how ignorant many of the respondants who answer here are about our government. Some of the quotes from some of these answers are so woefully lacking in civics knowledge that the answers are laughable.

So my question here is what has happened to civics education in this country? Why does it no longer exist?

Why is Yahoo determined to ruin its own busy by allowing many people who answered thoughtfully to be suspended by well idiots who have nothing better to do than try to get other users suspended?

-Whatever his beliefs, Sadam portrayed himself as an Islamic fundamentalist to gain support of Arab street. He compared himself to Saladin, called for the return of Israel to Muslim lands, financed Yassar Arafat's intifada, and worked with fundamentalist opponents of the Saudis to undermine support for Gulf War I.

-Sadam never conceded defeat after the first Gulf War,and continued to threaten the US with attacks. Evidence points to Iraqi involvement in 1992 attempted assasination of Bush 1, 1993 WTC bombing, foiled 1993 Un bombing, 1995 Riyadh embasy bombing, 1996 Khobar bombing, 1995 plot to blow up airliners.

-1998-Sadam kicks weapons inspectors out of Iraq, threatens retaliation. Two days later, US embassies are bombed. Al Qaeda claims it is retaliation for US sanctions on Iraq.

-After embassy attacks, press reports that White House considered attacks on Sudan, Afghanistan, and one other(IRAQ). Related documents in national archives are later destroyed by Sandy Berger.

... heading into Manchester city centre, and on the way there, the bus took the route through this town which is a muslim neighbourhood. And I swear, I thought we'd driven into Afganistan. All of the women were dressed in all black, their faces covered, a lot of the men were also wearing tradition Islamic clothing. There was Islamic clothing stores, Arabic resturants, Halal butchters, even Arabic hairdressers. Nothing non-islamic or British at all. I'd say about 3/4 of the names of the shops were written in Arabic. I was quite shocked. I'd been in different cultured neighbourhoods before, but nothing as full on as this. I've nothing against foreingers, as even though I'm British, I have no British blood- my parents are Spanish and the rest of my family live in Spain. But why if this is England, do we have towns like this? I find the fact that avertisments, shop names, ect, which are written in Arabic and not English, is a little ignorant if you ask me...It's killing our British culture

Because Pakistan is a "soverign nation".

Yet he has no regrets about invading Iraq - ALSO a sovereign nation, which had no military, no ties to international terrorism, and posed no threat to the U.S. or any other country.

Talk about doublespeak!

I don't buy the "but Pakistan has nukes" argument. According to the administration - "Iraq had WMD's", yet they invaded anyway, so that argument is moot.

And if the president of Pakistan is supposed to be our ally, why is he protecting Al Queda instead of either getting them himself or letting us come in and do it for him?

So the question is - why is it okay to invade one soverign nation that is NOT a threat to us, but not a soverign nation that IS?
