The new laws came out recently for children employed in India, you cannot employ anyone under the age of 14 anymore, and they have to be in schools.

The law in itself though very clear makes a mockery of the government who passed the law.

1.Where are the schools for the millions of children now on the streets?
2.For the homeless and orphans, what facilities are there?
3.Most of the children working were providing additional income to their poor parents
4.Should the governments in the third world countries listen to the cries of the first world countries?
5.In the first world countries you see the young boys vandalizing properties, stealing and causing human misery for ordinary citizens.
6.Children in India are occupied making a living and have no time to go around doing what their counterparts do in the first world countries.
7.Supposing the government is able to find schools and teachers for these children, what about their other day to day expenses and what about their families who depended on their income?
8.Again supposing all the children went to school and qualified, where will the government find employment for them, with millions being born and after the limited job market and only those with very high qualification can be absorbed into that.
9.Having studied, to what ever level, will these children accept any jobs, or fight for jobs more suited to their education.

Having looked at all the above points, will the children having got their diplomas and degrees become like people in UK and USA etc, living on the government handouts. At least in those countries you have unemployment benefit schemes, does or can India afford that. So what will happen to these “men” Now, that’s any bodies guess.

Especially if you die quickly (crashed airplane/beheading/ied/etc). I am a medical professional and I have seen people die slowly from many things and I can tell you for certain that you will die, and to die quickly is a blessing. So why not just lump terrorism in with all the other ways to die and take away some of it's shock value (effectiveness)?

Everone I know here drinks. Always challenging me to drinking contests and games. I don't want to be rude, and have refused on numerous occasions, but I seem I can't control myself. I can still teach and do my job, but I feel lonely, hence, I think it is a source to my drinking habits. I'd appreciate some advice. There, and on smoking too. Thanks.

I've always noticed when they smart off to someone and are getting their asses kicked because of it they say oh my god alot.

I've watched one being tore up by a couple of bull dogs once and he was like a broken record saying it.

This has bothered me my entire life because I don't know who they were referring too.

I asked a few if they thought satan had the ability to save them then reminded them that he couldn't even save himself muchless them.

Which God is it they expect to come rescue them?

Do you allow your children to go trick-or-treating? Why or why not?

Halloween is a pagan holiday that symbolizes a lot more than candy and costumes. It very such a spiritual issue especially when God clearly states: Have no other gods before Me and make no images of anything in heaven, earth or the sea, and do not worship or labor for them. You can argue Halloween doesn't mean anything it's just fun and dressing up to you but ask people who practice Wicca if it is all fun and games? You may not even believe in God and you would have to admit after doing your homework that Halloween is useless waste of time, money, and energy. Why waste when you can dress your kids up on any weekend and give them candy. Don’t take my word for it; do your own research. Always be real

do you accept that you would have been a "believer" of Apollo or Zeus or some other pagan God?

If so, you must surely understand that your reasons for belief in Christianity are mainly cultural and are no more or less likely to be "correct" than a belief in Roman gods.

I asked this question and people said to me obviously I have never read a Bible, visit the following links if you have confidence that Jesus(pbuh) is God and died on the cross:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2294876665735364519&q=Zakir+Naik&hl=en
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5283623989368520963&q=Zakir+Naik&hl=en
You be the judge on whether there is substantial evidence, pay attention to person who argues that he didn't die on the cross and see if you can counter his points

I was under the impression that Halloween originated from something bad, but the responses that I read to other questions don't quite sound familiar. Was there some sort of ritual or something where officials would come into town dressed up to scare and harm the people living in the towns? Maybe it was a religious thing, I am not sure. I am sorry I do not have more information. Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.

I've been single for many years while trying to fit into society. I have dodged the questions over the years about my sexuality. All the while watching all the awesome young men enjoy themselves around me. What I mean is, I've watched others who aren't in the closet enjoy the open gay life I've craved for. Please tell me if there is a group out there that can help me be what I am. I'm tired of not being myself in a group of people. I'm ready to live the life I was born to live. I'm 34 years old, 5'6'', sandy brown hair, hazel blue eyes, and 277 pounds. Do you think I'll ever be able to find the comfort and security with another man that I desire?

Where accurate information (FDA) should be equally distributed to all, why are regulations (that are passé) under consideration and even being imposed on NY ?

(Shouldn't policy makers be going after serious issues, like immigration, jobs, and so on ?)
