I'm at such a cross roads in life, I'm about to go back to UCF to finish my last 2 years of college, but I'm still so unsure of what I want to do with my life. I want to learn at least 2-3 languages, and already have a pretty good base in Italian and Spanish. I'd like to travel around the world to different countries. I want to wear a nice suit to work, and be heavily involved in the United States politics. I'm just lookin for any advice on government or non-government jobs that Internation Relations could help me with.

I know of the authority the monarchy used to have in England until most of the policy making was sent to Parliament, but what decisions, if any, does the monarchy make today?

Is there any kind of balance between the palace and Downing Street?

Please don't give me jibe answers like her family's wealth or heritage (we all know that can be disputed). I already know that she has the power to bestow knighthood on undeserving souls, but what does she really do in a business or political sense for the country that all who live in England would be considered subjects?

I mean no disrespect and apologize if anyone feels I am being disrespectful, this is really just a serious question.

I just happened across this. Had anyone else heard this quote?

Do you think other celebrity Republicans will leave?

What about Britney Spears? (Okay, that's a joke... Her own music videos are too deep for her, so I don't trust that she understands anything about politics)...

You submit tax returns every year and if you have overpaid you get back the extra amount you paid. That's called tax returns. Don't confuse that with tax cuts.
Tax cuts mean you pay less taxes. The current administration has given everyone tax cuts (or so they claim). In order to actually understand the effect of the cuts, compare how much you paid in taxes during a year with previous administration as a percentage of your annual earnings and then do the same for the current administration.
Use both percentages (previous admin and current admin) and find out the tax on your current income. Subtract the amount under current admin from the amount under previous admin. That's what the tax cut means to you. If the difference is negative you actually paid more taxes.

But anyways, I don't know how many of you actually will do this. But if you think about it many of you will actually discover what a tax cut is. It's not a tax return.

I challenge anyone willing to the following:

1) Define 3 issues/problems the U.S. faces, either domestic or foreign.
2) Explain why they are important, your rationale for choosing them, and some information regarding them (cause, effect, etc.)
3) As best you can, construct a solution to these issues.

I will read every answer in its entirety and select the most compelling one as the best answer.

Feel free to criticize the current administration (or support them), but do not do so in an unfounded and slanderous fashion. I will only consider answers with sincere replies and well argued points.

No gibberish, profanity, or outrageous/offensive claims please, as I will report you.

What would be the difference between these two types of fundamentalists? A fundamentalist is a fundamentalist, right?

Is there a common philosophical thread tying opposition to gay marriage, abortion, and secular government to opposition to minimum wage raises, welfare, and inheritance tax, or is the alliance of Christian leaders and business leaders made merely out of political convenience?

I'm more interested in hearing from conservative thinkers and activists than those opposed to the movement, but I'm always interested in a good conspiracy theory!

We seem to call everyone terrorists now. And we get to decide whose terror is warranted, and whose isn't. IS the use of the word 'terrorist' in itself, terrorism? Aren't people using fear to further political agendas?
