That being said, I still wouldn't do it. First, I don't have any children. Second, if I did, I wouldn't want them around someone who killed for a living. :P

Some people find it easier to insult rather than respect differences, or to accuse instead of looking at themselves. It's a bit of an eye-opener.

The NY transit authority will raise bus & subway fares from $2 each ride(not including free transfers) & $5 for an express bus from the Bronx or Queens to NYC. How much is too much to get around? How much is it in your town? In Brussels, for bus, subway, or metro fare it's 1,70 euro. A monthly pass is 41,50 euro. That's just in the Brussels area, however. To get to Brussels, I take a train that would cost 19,80 return trip per day, or 162 euro a month. So, a little over 200 euro a month to get back and forth to work each day. Still super cheap compared to the cost of driving. Plus many companies...

Why in the world do the democrats have such a resistance to offshore drilling? I can't speak for anyone else, but I am against offshore drilling because of the environmental hazards, and I also believe that time and money used to invest in offshore drilling takes time and money away from alternative energies, which we need to focus on more importantly. Increasing offshore drilling, or drilling for oil in the Alaska Wildlife Refuge, or anywhere else, still...

Is the Bailout going to solve the financial meltdown which is being felt all over the world? I really don't know, but no I don't think it will.

Answer to:
Do Both McCain And Obama Offer Health-Insurance Headaches? To put it in a nutshell, Obama wants to provide healthcare to those who do not have it. If you currently have healthcare, nothing will change for you. McCain doesn't want to provide anyone else with healthcare, but wants to give people a "tax cut" that can be used to pay for a percentage of whatever existing healthcare they currently have. There's more to these, and...

The conservatives are quietly saying McCain should get rid of Palin, what do think? No, keep her! :)

Answer to:
When McCain felt compelled to go back to Washington to fix the economy, why did he suspend his campaign? Couldn't he have left Palin in charge for a few days? If he doesn't trust her enough to continue campaigning for him, he surely won't trust her in the White House. If McCain gets elected, I am positive that Sarah Palin's role as VP will be all about photo ops and pre-written speeches. Oh, and she'll probably have something to do with oil money.

How will Obama handle the New Cold War? Would McCain be better to have in office if we are entering a new cold war with Russia? Why are these issues not being discussed with the MEDIA or in the Media? Has the US election process become lip stick on a pig I have no idea how either one would handle the situation, if it came to that. I hope this is brought up in the debates and then we will know and can make a decision based on that. The issues are not being discussed in the media because the media benefits from sensational news stories such as the ridiculous "lipstick on a pig" comment that was taken completely out of context. ...

Do you believe that politics is a zero sum game, as in if you agree with one candidates positions 85% of the time, than you must agree with the others 15%?

In fact, even though pretty much the entire site knows I am a strong Obama supporter, I do think that McCain has a lot of good ideas. In fact, if you read their plans on their websites, there are a lot of similarities. But in the instances where they differ, I am more inclined to agree with Obama.

"She probably has more knowledge about energy, than anyone else in the US." That was McCain's answer to question about national security. Did you know she was an expert in energy?

Second, I imagine she is an expert to some degrees about energy. My issue with her isn't her knowledge of energy, it's her policies on energy. I am against drilling in the ANWR, I am against the removal of the polar bear off the...

My husband is from belgium and currently in england he got arrested the other night and now has to go to court coz he didnt realise his insurance did not cover him to drive here can anyone tell me if he will get deported coz of this Am I understanding this correctly? He has car insurance from Belgium that does not cover driving in the UK? Is it common for people in the UK to get arrested for not having insurance? Is that why he was arrested? Way too many questions to answer this, but I'm going to agree with Brian that since the UK and Belgium are member states of the EU, it's unlikely he will be deported.

I had the hotmail account for years and it's how most of my lifelong friends contact me, but my maiden name is part of the email address. Shortly after I got married, I joined AB and learned that lots of people use gmail and they loved it, so I made a second gmail for my everyday use for contact with friends and whatever contacts...

I think Palin is the victim of sexism for sure. I'm angry about that. Why is she being kept away from us. Because, after all, she is "only a woman"? Aren't you irate about that? Why can't they allow her to speak, talk, answer questions ? Sexism? I don't think it's sexism. I think they are keeping a tight control on both her and McCain, because they want to make sure their agenda continues on and isn't endangered. If it was really sexism, and she was really a spitfire like her speechwriters wanted her to be, she'd have the whole country on her side right now and be as public about everything as she could.

I was just a "housewife" for many years. My exhusband wouldn't let me get a job or have friends. I have had a job for 1 year now and even if I know people and people (in general) like me, I still do not have friends. Am I lacking of social skills? I wonder if you are subconciously holding yourself back from making friends, because of how you had to keep away from people in the past. If that is the case, then you literally just have to jump over that obstacle and make the effort to leave that part behind you. Invite someone out to lunch, or for a drink or movie after work. Don't wait for others to invite you... make things happen!...

But you are lacking serious nutrients if you are only eating this, and the minute you start eating regular foods again, you will just gain it back. The best way to lose weight and keep it off is BALANCED, HEALTHY eating and exercise. It is truly about a lifestyle change. I've lost almost 60 lbs this year doing just that.

I avoided Sushi like the plague! Declined invites out for dinner for several years until I gave in one evening, now I am crazy for it and can't get enough, do you have a similar food story? Well, when I was a kid I refused to even humor the thought of eating shrimp. The thought just disgusted me! It had to be all in my head though, because after I became an adult, I tried it again and loooooooooved it. Now I eat it a lot. Funny thing, even though shrimp isn't that "different" from what people may consider normal food, realizing that shrimp was delicious afterall...

Jackson Pollack: Greatest abstract painter ever or complete fraud? Your opinion, please? Neither.

What do you think of Salvidor Dali? Do you like his art style? I love Dali's art... I love the surrealism and I love how the same things are in many of his works. I visited the Salvador Dali museum in St. Petersburg, FL once and on the tour we got to see several things in his works that I never saw before. He loved hiding messages in his paintings!

Answer to:
If I could afford it, I'd fill my house with Monet's paintings. Is there an artist you feel that way about? Gosh, I love so many different artists. But, if I were to be surrounded constantly by only one artist's works, it would definitely be Van Gogh. His "Olive Grove" painting make me feel like dancing with the trees every time I look at them.
