Fri, 30 Apr 2010 08:07:21 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8970899 Answer to If we kicked out all the illegal immigrant in this country, that would open up 5-7 million jobs for low experience and low education americans. Why are so many government officials afraid of keeping/kicking them out? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8970888 If we kicked out all the illegal immigrant in this country, that would open up 5-7 million jobs for low experience and low education americans. Why are so many government officials afraid of keeping/kicking them out?<br /><br />You're thinking like a conservative. Stop it, immediately. Those aren't "illegal immigrants." Those are "undocumented Democrats." Immigration reform will provide them a fast track to citizenship, whereupon America will be solidified as a progressive country. Finally.

The other two were 18, and if they are convicted of attempted murder they should be dealt with as all attempted murderers are dealt with. Their reasons for trying to kill the victim are... Fri, 23 Apr 2010 09:04:56 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8939830 Answer to Mormon Glenn Beck yesterday claimed to have received a revelation from God. What do you think of this? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8939794 Mormon Glenn Beck yesterday claimed to have received a revelation from God. What do you think of this?<br /><br />If I were a Christian, I would be very careful before saying that God couldn't do something. The same God that put words in the mouth of a donkey (Book of Numbers, chp. 22) can put words in the mouth of Glenn Beck, if he chooses to do so. My impression of the Christian God is that he sometimes... Fri, 23 Apr 2010 08:46:32 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8939794 Answer to What is the biggest domestic threat to the United States of America? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8939786 What is the biggest domestic threat to the United States of America?<br /><br />President Bozo. Fri, 23 Apr 2010 08:40:45 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8939786 Answer to What do you think of the news recently that someone suggested the Pentagon should parachute bears to 'sniff out' and find Osama bin laden? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8939776 What do you think of the news recently that someone suggested the Pentagon should parachute bears to 'sniff out' and find Osama bin laden?<br /><br />The reference was probably to the bear on a recent episode of "South Park," which was, in fact, the Prophet Muhammad (bees be upon him) in a bear suit. The benefits of having the Prophet Muhammad (BBUH) sniff out Osama bin Laden should be self-evident. Fri, 23 Apr 2010 08:37:04 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8939776 Answer to Should those who impede the environmental movement by denying climate change be prosecuted for crimes against humanity? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8939771 Should those who impede the environmental movement by denying climate change be prosecuted for crimes against humanity?<br /><br />No, those who have done anything to perpetrate the fraud that is the global warming panic should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity--particularly in the United States, where this artificial crisis is being used as a springboard to convert the country to a socialist state. Fri, 23 Apr 2010 08:34:06 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8939771 Answer to Do you think most politicians are a big joke or should be taken seriously? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8939766 Do you think most politicians are a big joke or should be taken seriously?<br /><br />I think most politicians are a big joke *and* should be taken seriously. President Bozo is the biggest joke of them all, and how seriously he should be taken can be gauged by the depth of human misery his idiotic policies and actions will cause the people of this country for years to come. Fri, 23 Apr 2010 08:30:38 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8939766 Answer to Why does the "Tea Party" hate America? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8936361 Why does the "Tea Party" hate America?<br /><br />Why do you hate your wife (or husband, as the case may be)? I finally figured out the principal difference between liberalistas and traditional conservatives. The conservatives view man as a noble creature, so naturally they view him with respect and treat him with dignity. Liberalistas, on the... Thu, 22 Apr 2010 11:34:55 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8936361 Answer to Does anyone else think that racism will never die until we expel racist terminology (e.g. “African-American,” “Asian-American,” etc.) from our collective vocabulary? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8933252 Does anyone else think that racism will never die until we expel racist terminology (e.g. “African-American,” “Asian-American,” etc.) from our collective vocabulary?<br /><br />It's hard to forget race when it keeps being shoved in our faces. Wed, 21 Apr 2010 18:21:47 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8933252 Answer to Does anyone else wonder if there are any African-American Tea Party members? Is it a racist organization? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8933245 Does anyone else wonder if there are any African-American Tea Party members? Is it a racist organization?<br /><br />I heard on the news that there are. I even heard one call into a radio show, saying don't believe the media hype about Tea Partiers being racist. Wed, 21 Apr 2010 18:20:03 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8933245 Answer to Why wasn't this on The news?

I didn’t believe this so I checked http://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/dhs.asp<br /><br />How is it that you don't know that Political Correctness is more important than security, that embracing multiculturalism is more important than preserving our freedom?

Wed, 21 Apr 2010 18:06:53 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8933209 Answer to Would the Tea Party movement exist if President Obama was white? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8933196 Would the Tea Party movement exist if President Obama was white?<br /><br />Of course it would. The Tea Partiers are the anti-clown vote. What race is Bozo, anyway? I'm not sure clowns are a racial category. Wed, 21 Apr 2010 18:02:48 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8933196 Answer to Why do people consider Wicca a form of Satan worship? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8933167 Why do people consider Wicca a form of Satan worship?<br /><br />Because the Bible tells them so. Seriously. I don't knock it. If that's what they need to believe, let them. It's their religion, not mine. Wed, 21 Apr 2010 17:56:12 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8933167 Answer to If a church had temple prostitutes who practiced ritual sex acts in exchange for "charitable donations", should this be allowed under freedom of religion? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8933165 If a church had temple prostitutes who practiced ritual sex acts in exchange for "charitable donations", should this be allowed under freedom of religion?<br /><br />Of course. There are women out there doing it without legal sanction. Thank the Goddess for spiritual women of courage. Wed, 21 Apr 2010 17:54:43 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8933165 Answer to Wiccans: What do you interpret "all acts of Love and Pleasure are my ritual" to mean? How does it apply to/affect your life? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8933156 Wiccans: What do you interpret "all acts of Love and Pleasure are my ritual" to mean? How does it apply to/affect your life?<br /><br />Voicing this view is like tossing a cat into a dogpile or bringing a skunk to a garden party. Nobody wants to hear it. Wicca--by which I mean religious Witchcraft--is about communion with the divine, which is to say communion with all that is. That is why the "Great Rite" is the sum and... Wed, 21 Apr 2010 17:52:47 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8933156 Answer to Males:If you were a Female, What would you want to do?

Sun, 03 May 2009 05:16:24 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/6388209 Answer to If you had to choose one person from history to erase because the world today would be a better place if that person had not lived, who would you choose and why? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/6388192 If you had to choose one person from history to erase because the world today would be a better place if that person had not lived, who would you choose and why?<br /><br />Hitler. Stalin and Mao killed more people; but they were largely forces of history. If they hadn&#039;t done what they did, others would have taken their places. Same thing&#039;s even more true of Karl Marx. But Hitler was an aberration.

Can you talk yourself into being a positive person or are you what you are and that is that? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/6388171 Do you have any control over how you view the world? Can you talk yourself into being a positive person or are you what you are and that is that?<br /><br />There is plenty of positive stuff in the world. It&#039;s just easier to be negative. It&#039;s always easier to tear down than it is to build up - easier to piss &amp; moan than it is to have hope. Of course, if you don&#039;t believe in anything, it&#039;s kind of hard to be positive. Sun, 03 May 2009 05:03:08 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/6388171 Answer to My girlfriend broke up with me recently saying she needed time on her own and with her mates.

But she said she still loves me and always will do but just wants to be mates. I love her so much and just want her back what do i do?<br /><br />I think she was trying to break up with you and be nice about it. Let her go and move on. Sun, 03 May 2009 05:01:05 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/6388163 Answer to Would you like a job working on Queensland's Great Barrier Reef? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/6388152 Would you like a job working on Queensland's Great Barrier Reef?<br /><br />If it means transportation costs and a residency permit, I&#039;d love a job working on Queensland&#039;s GBF. Or anywhere else in Australia. Or New Zealand for that matter. I have two B.A.s and a Masters. Hire me. Sun, 03 May 2009 04:58:28 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/6388152 Answer to Would you look after your mother when she can't look after herself anymore, even when all she's done all her life is be selfish and emotionally blackmail you, or would you be ok with putting her in a home? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/6388119 Would you look after your mother when she can't look after herself anymore, even when all she's done all her life is be selfish and emotionally blackmail you, or would you be ok with putting her in a home?<br /><br />Whatever you decide to do, do it because it&#039;s what you think is right. Don&#039;t take care of someone else because you&#039;d feel guilty if you didn&#039;t, or because of what someone else will think of you. Decide what is the right thing to do, and do it for YOUR sake, NOT for theirs. ... Sun, 03 May 2009 04:49:12 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/6388119 Answer to If you could be a "superhero" what would you call yourself and what would your special "power" be? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/6379580 If you could be a "superhero" what would you call yourself and what would your special "power" be?<br /><br />This is a very difficult question. How does one choose a super power? I think I&#039;d have to choose to be like Sue Richards of the Fantastic Four. As I recall, her invisibility and force field ability are different aspects of the same ability. Of course, I couldn&#039;t be the... Sat, 02 May 2009 04:02:10 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/6379580 Answer to I have heard some truly ridiculous things come out of the mouths of conservatives lately. But by far the craziest has to be the notion that in order to fix the party the GOP has to become more conservative. What do you think? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/6379530 I have heard some truly ridiculous things come out of the mouths of conservatives lately. But by far the craziest has to be the notion that in order to fix the party the GOP has to become more conservative. What do you think?<br /><br />I&#039;m not a Republican. Hillary was my presidential candidate. I don&#039;t think it&#039;s crazy at all. I think that if you don&#039;t stand for principle, you&#039;re nothing. If your principle isn&#039;t popular, then so be it; maybe you won&#039;t win today. But a party that...

My response depends on whether or not I&#039;m with people I know well and feel at ease with. The less familiar we are, the greater the need for proper etiquette.

I happen to think both are natural; and if people want to celebrate themselves this way, that&#039;s fine with me.

Not as often as it used to, though. A cigarette smoker once told me that he still desired smoking. He just didn&#039;t give in.

But if they persist, I would let them go. Demanding that you choose between them is manipulation, and that&#039;s not the act of a friend.

Or, don't pick, and you all die. What would be your choice and why? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/6035995 If you, your spouse, and a parent were held hostage, and the person holding you captive gave you this choice: Pick one person to be shot dead, two will be set free. Or, don't pick, and you all die. What would be your choice and why?<br /><br />I kind of agree with veriria; but assuming the truth of the proposition, I would say me. I think I would say me if the others were strangers, as well, because I don&#039;t fear death, which I believe is just a transition to another stage of life. I&#039;m ready to die, and the others may not be.

I'm just curious. http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/6035333 I'm not trying to make fun of religious people here, but I'm an athiest, and I'm trying to figure out what makes faith so attractive to people. It seems to me that it goes against all logic and reason. I'm not trying to be mean. I'm just curious.<br /><br />You have to reject the misconception that the essence of faith is believing in the truth of a bunch of stuff you can&#039;t prove. That&#039;s a Sunday School notion of faith, which - regrettably - many religious people never get past themselves; and it&#039;s not accurate. Religious faith is...

It's really horrible of her because it was an embarrasing thing. What should i do? :'(<br /><br />What you might do depends on what the secret is. Sometimes you can steal their thunder by admitting whatever it is openly, not trying to hide it. For example, if it&#039;s something you wish you hadn&#039;t done, then you might say, &quot;Yes, I did it, and I&#039;m not proud of it; but we all...

I&#039;ve discovered that things I thought were very funny when I was younger aren&#039;t necessarily quite as funny today; and I suppose the reverse is also true. The funniest movie experience I ever had might surprise you. When I was still a teenager, I was hit...
