Answer to:
If Obama is successful in lengthening the school day for American students, will we as taxpayers be forced to increase teacher pay as well? Maybe yes and maybe no. A much better question is: Why increase the school day at all? Is this at all related to education or is there some other reason? What do parents have to say? Do parents have a right to decide how long their children spend in school or do politicians? These questions seem like far more important ones. Did anyone ever ask them what they want?

Will an African-American be offended if a person from another race greeted them with a friendly "What's up, nigga?" Why?

Replacement fluids such as Pedialyte, sports drinks or sports water are used my not only people not experiencing fluid or electrlyte loss, but also athletes and common Joe's that just crave this over plain water or soda.

He's still sweet, but now he parties or gets drunk almost every night and I think it's kinda immature and irresponsible at his age. What would you do? If that's the kind of guy you are attracted to, then I think the answer is self evident. We know people influences us, so if you don't want that negativity or lifestyle to rubb off or affct you, then maybe its best to move on.
