My problem is; the people that condemn America & the Allies for trying to rid the world of terriosts have NOT come up with an alternate plan to stop these people from killing each other or attacking the West.
If you do, can you please outline it here. Who knows you may have something that has not been thought of before.
The coalition is trying to help the people of Iraq to sort out their police & military so they can control the militants.

Do the people who oppose the war have an alternate way of doing this?

My parents were divorced when I was 9 and I heard voices and began having heart pounding panic attacks. The voices stopped but the panic attacks continued and turned into hyperventilation panic attacks. I even became agoraphobic, my parents had to drag me out of the house.I had a bout of OCD as well handwashing for a certain amount of time, counting sins I had made within the day and saying a prayer for each one at the end.I wound up on a lot of different meds after a 2 month stay at the local psych hospital for children who did drugs ( which I didn't I was 13 ) . I still have problems not as many but some till this day.Could a thing like divorce set that off ?

I am 55 years old, married with one son, aged 25, employed and living separately.

I wake up at 6 in the morning. At 6:30, I am out with my bicycle for a 45 minutes vigorous ride to the beach and back home. I cover 15 kilometers or 9.30 miles

At 8, I have the second cup of tea of the day and go through two newspapers.

I have my shower at 8:45 and breakfast at 9:00.

I work from home, and I am at my desk at 9:15

At 1:00 I have my lunch and lie down for 30 minutes reading news paper. A short while later, I doze off.

After a half hour siesta, I have my tea and am back at my desk at 3:00 PM.

I work until 6:00 and then I go to a near by swimming pool for an hour of vigorous swim (40 numbers 25 metre laps.)

At 7:30 in the evening, I begin to have my whisky on my bedroom balcony. My wife and I talk about the day’s days events during that time. I also make a few phone calls to my friends.

By 10:00, I have had 240 ml of whisky (0.89 UK Pint, 0.5 US Pint, or a little over 8 fluix ounces) , I am reasonably tipsy and have my dinner. At 10.30, I am off to sleep. Thanks to the whisky, the moment I put my head on the pillow, I go off to sleep.

(For those of you who may think my alcohol consumption is excessive, I have my LFT – liver function test – done every six months and my liver enzymes (SGOT, SGPT, GGT, etc;) are within normal range. I am not diabetic, my BP is normal, I am not overweight and I am in great physical shape. I eat a very healthy diet consisting of a variety of vegetable and fruits, fish and moderate amount of carbohydrate. I avoid red meat, eat very little chicken and our consumption of cooking oil (fat) is minimal. Alcohol is my only vice, but it makes me happy, relieves my stress and gives me a general feeling of well being. I don’t smoke)

I seldom watch TV.

On Wednesdays, I go to my Rotary Club meeting. After the meeting, I drink with my fellow Rotarians and discuss current evens.

Once a week, I meet my friends – one is a doctor and other is a professor - over drinks again, and come back home in time to go to sleep.

I used to go to my club twice a week, but now I don’t go much because I do not find the conversation there interesting. I find being with my wife more enjoyable.

I do not like travelling.

I have a beautiful home and lovely garden, and gardening is my hobby. It gives me great happiness.

I enjoy good health.

Now, what would you call this sort of lifestyle, boring or interesting?

Thank you for taking the time off to read this long post.

Ok I was happy to make a new friend about a year ago. I loved her smiled and enjoyed talking with her. Over the year little things started to happen, like she would make snide comments about my kids, I lost 50 pounds going all the way down to a size 14 she gained another 50 pounds going up to a size 30. I talked about spending money on a tummy tuck and she went off on me that I should save money for my kids education. She buys $400 coach bags and goes on cruises I suggested she get the stomach band surgery. She laughs about f***ing her neighbors husband who just had a baby, I couldn't understand how that was funny. She thinks I am stubborn, I think she's selfish and greedy.
Is it time to end this friendship?

Ski break would in febuary
(its one week off of school)

~You get an extra week of summer (if gotten rid of)
~if no ski break then that means no break for 2 months (like martin luther king jr day until march~spring break)

in my opinion we should get rid of ski break because its not needed (there's winter break to go skiing or snowboarding). It doesnt snow here but if you drive about 4 hours there is a place to go skiing and snowboarding but i know things will be expensive and crowded.

whats your opinion?

I don't understand why people would willingly hurt others to the point of causing permanent damage just to obtain something so trivial as a Tickle Me Elmo toy.

Why? What is wrong with our culture that makes such a mindless thing more important than not harming other people? By our culture, I am refering to America of coarse (I don't know if this "craze" has happened elsewhere). Why would anyone beat the living daylights out of each other just to get a TOY?

Is it something psychological? Or people just stupid?

If you don't know what I mean, check this page and search for "Wal Mart": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tickle_me_Elmo

This is only one of many stories. Now with the new version of the doll out, many simular stories have appeared throughout the news and internet.

I just can't understand why anyone would be willing to go so far just for a vibrating kid's toy. It just doesn't make any sense.
