Saw on few programs that I've missed the boat on making a life list, guees it's been around a few years but the TV show Ellen is mentioning it again so...I was sort of wondering and hoping for some ideas of how to write one and what goals to put on it.

Hi >
Looking through my old legal Statute books, I find that it is still illegal for every Englishman not to practice the Longbow for one hour per day.
I do not, so I break yjis law every day.

Do you ?
It would be against more recent law to use an offensive weapon in a public place.....
Which one wins in a court ?

Just a bit of fun.

No job, no school, nothing! me and my other friends try n talk him in to doing something but it seems pointless sometimes. He is a 21 year old virgin with no life, what can we do to help him out?

You were raised in a racist area. Most people in your town have definate racist ideas but somehow you never developed such thinking. Explain how that happened for you?

Hi,

i'm a Traveller (Romany Gypsy) living in the UK.

Before jumping to answer this question and including all the bad experiences you have had with members of my community, please hear me out.

I went through school from recption to year 11, passed all my GCSE's and hardly had a day off, despite being bullied most of the time.

I now have a good job in an office as an administrator and have recently got married to a hard working traveller, who has a legitimate business. We both pay taxes and neither of us have ever touched anything that doesnt belong to us. Everything we have, we have worked very hard to get. My parents are the same, very hard working and decent people. People who know us, no matter what culture, colour, religion etc. they are, only have nice things to say about us.

Maybe people have had bad experiences with some Travellers but does this mean that they can tar us all with the same brush?

I want to know what race do you think has it the worst in the sense of discrimination and rascism. Muslims are not a race, but they are included, beause they are being discrimiinated against.

Those Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on
Wednesday to get out of Australia, as the government targeted radicals
in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.

A day after a group of mainstream Muslim leaders pledged loyalty to
Australia at a special meeting with Prime Minister John Howard, he and
his ministers made it clear that extremists would face a crackdown.
Treasurer
Peter Costello, seen as heir apparent to Howard, hinted that some
radical clerics could be asked to leave the country if they did not
accept that Australia was a secular state and its laws were made by
parliament. "If those are not your values, if you want a country which
has Sharia law or a theocratic state, then Australia is not for you," he
said on national television.

"I'd be saying to clerics who are teaching that there are two laws
governing people in Australia, one the Australian law and another the
Islamic law, that is false. If you can't agree with parliamentary law,
independent courts, democracy, and would prefer Sharia law and have the
opportunity to go to another country, which practices it, perhaps, then,
that's a better option," Costello said.

Asked whether he meant radical clerics would be forced to leave, he said
those with dual citizenship could possibly be asked to move to the other
country.

Education Minister Brendan Nelson later told reporters that Muslims who
did not want to accept local values should "clear off". "Basically,
people who don't want to be Australians, and they don't want to live by
Australian values and understand them, well then they can basically
clear off," he said. Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims
on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's
mosques.


Quote:
IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am
tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some
individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali, we
have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians.

However, the dust from the attacks had barely settled when the
"politically correct" crowd began complaining about the possibility that
our patriotism was offending others. I am not against immigration, nor
do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming
to Australia. However, there are a few things that those who have
recently come to our country, and apparently some born here, need to
understand.

This idea of Australia being a multicultural community has served only
to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. As Australians, we
have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own
lifestyle.
This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials
and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.

We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese,
Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to
become part of our society, Learn the language!

Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right
wing, political push but a fact because Christian men and women, on
Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly
documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of
our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another
part of the world as your new home. Because God is part of our culture.
We will accept your beliefs and will not question why, all we ask is
that you accept ours and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.

If the Southern Cross offends you, or you don't like " A Fair Go", then
you should seriously consider a move to another part of this planet. We
are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we really
don't care how you did things where you came from. By all means keep
your culture but do not force it on others.

This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you
every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining,
whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs,
or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other
great Australian freedom, "THE RIGHT TO LEAVE".

If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here.
You asked to be here, so accept the country YOU accepted.

Pretty easy really, when you think about it. I figure if we all keep
passing this to our friends it will also, sooner or later get back to
the complainers, lets all try, please.

In England (and USA I believe) owning your own house is seen as being really important. I hear that this is not the case in France, and that lots of people rent instead of buying - why is this?

And who owns all the properties that people rent, if most people rent?

Is this a continental Europe trend or just French?

People from around the world answer questions on this site but give an answer that is only useful in their own country i.e. someone asked about the age limit for joining the police but there are load of answers saying 'depends which state' or 'in NYC it's blah blah blah'.
Am I the only one who assumes a question is going to be referring to UK and Ireland on this site and why are so many people from other country's not answering their own questions.
