too tiny to defend herself from the middle-schoolers, my 5 year old is getting picked on when riding the bus. normally one of the happiest sweetest kids you've seen, she has transformed since school started. now she is exhausted and sassy and has learned many new words and got off the bus today with tears streaming, barely able to talk
where can i find laws pertaining to school bus safety and what i can do about this?

THis is a giveaway to my age, but I am sick of trying to answer a Yahoo question - when the person has a million texting abbreviations and I have no idea what they are trying to ask! If you're gonna ask a question, ask it and have the common sense to type out the entire question in plain English for us old-timers!

in Wisconsin ive noticed that a lot of people (including myself) measure distance in terms of how long it takes to get from one place to another....like, for example...if you were to ask me "how far away is the nearest mall to your house" id tell you "15 minutes" because thats how long it takes me to drive there. i know plenty of other people in my town and others in Wisconsin that do this...but if i talk to someone from outside Wisconsin, they get all confused when i say stuff in terms of how long it takes me to get there rather than miles or something...so is this strictly a Wisconsin thing, or do you know anyone who does this to?

Seems like the point of this thing is to understand not beat people up for their points of view. I just see alot of thumbs down going to perfectly good answers just because people dont agree. Isnt thumbs down for if its a WRONG answer, not if you dont like what someone has to say because it doesnt line up with your beliefs?

I've seen a few people on here give other people what I believe to be bad advice, based on a myth or misconception. For example, shaving makes hair grow faster and thicker, the hymen is impossible to see, and trimming makes your hair grow faster.

I thought I should ask this to give everyone an opportunity to correct (properly, preferably with an explanation and some research done) the myths/misconceptions that they've seen. So, anyone?

Also, if you feel that any of these myths -are- true, and can prove it, feel free to do so.

I’m a Mexican guy; I never get any complaints about my English. The other day in San Antonio, Texas, I went to Church’s Chicken. I was alone, so I hadn’t even opened my mouth, I wasn’t talking to anyone. I was approaching the counter, and this Black woman pops up her frog-ugly eyes at me, and abruptly turns around before I could say anything. She yells out “I don’t have time for translations, you take care of this”. Immediately this White girl comes to take my order in English since that’s the way I was going to order anyway.

I was so shocked, I just ordered and left.

Now that I think about it, should I've called both my lawyer to come over immediately, and the police?

for ex. irish, german, italian, etc. or irishi-american, italian-american, etc. Those are nationalities, and you are only that if you come from those countries yourself. It has nothing to do with people related to you from 100's of yrs. ago. What if a black person was from Ireland or whatnot? Would you call them Irish too? Or would they just be "black"?

I was given a website from one questions goer yesterday and spent alot of time looking thru its contents. I am not ignorant to the way many of our animals are treated for our pleasure, meat, furs etc.

These animal farms, slaughter houses, milking ranches and chicken farms are so past any consideration to the animal.

I know from some answers that some people don't care about the animal and it does not bother them to work in places like this. Some actually love the sport of seeing to animals rip each other apart.

But I would say a majority of people, if well education on the subject and actually were able to go on field trips to view these places, do you think they would try to reform the situation at hand?

I am aware of the millions of people who need to eat and a normal family owned farm where the chickens run loose and the cows are still milked by hand are out of the question for production control, but isn't there another way?

Because I've heard that some of them are just people who go outside with a sign that says "homeless" so they can get free money from people. I already make donations to soup kitchens and legitimate organizations like that, but when I pass by someone on the street, I don't want to look like I'm stuck-up or anything.

In Islam teaching, Allah is the creator of everything in the world.

Allah created & program it to be pig.

...so...

Allah created & program Chinese like to eat pork?

....but....

I do not understand why Allah created and program a group of people follow the teaching of Islamic bible & quoted pig as NAJIS.

...but....

If we help this pig owner to clean them properly & eat food like soybean.

...will there be more clean than human.

Human are created and program to eat corpse of animals, fruits & rotten fruits & etc.

Think about it.

Humans are social animals by nature, which gives us greater survivability. Surely morals have developed to allow greater social cohesion, which would be essential in order for the societal structure to work effectively?

What do you think of this theory?

Kind of disarms the Christians of their "Where do morals come from if there is no God" question, doesn't it?

Whoopi showed how smart she is with her Mike Vic comment. Environment that he was in? I guess anyone who makes moonshine and sells it should get the same break and if they were raised around bootleggers not be prosecuted.
