Open Question: Could Psychology of Motivation Save the US Economy?

Could the US Economy Be Saved by "Jobs Creation Prizes"? In the past I have suggested prizes to get energy independence technology breakthroughs, and my suggestions were roundly ignored by the Powers that Be. I'm from Manhattan -- I have Tude -- I'm still here -- and so, not giving an inch, here is my Modest Proposal for Today --- National prizes for Job Creation. These jobs have to last at least 24 months. They can't be given to relatives or people already associated with the Job Creator Prize Contestant. The prizes will be awarded on or about 15 January 2012. They will be based on jobs created between 1 January 2011 and 1 January 2012. The top ten contestants with jobs created about 10,000 jobs will get the prizes. The prizes are twofold: 1. A Congressional Gold Medal as an Economy Booster -- and this comes with a large Certificate that states the Gratitude of the Nation, and that outlines in some detail the precise achievements of the medal winner. This would have a blue ribbon and a gold Congressional seal on it. It would come ready for framing. 2. A cash award of $10,000,000 (Ten Million dollars) The jobs have to be for citizens of USA, performing at least 90% of the job duties in USA, while speaking English, and using skills learned by experience, in High School, or in College. The jobs have to be profitable for the organization that hires the person. They can't be fake make-work jobs that just p*ss away money to get the gold medal. Each employed person must marginally contribute net profit to the firm that hires him/her. Within this framework the jobs can be any legal activity. Drug dealing is not OK, but legal porn is OK, and import/export is OK, and manual labor crafts are OK, and intellectula work (researtch and writing) is OK, and farming is OK, and pavement laying, and making music, or art, or manufactured goods, or selling Pizzas or window caulk. If the contestant commit criminal fraud by breaking the rules, or sneaky activities, then they will be personally prosecuted and get jailtime if that's what a jury decides. So the contestants have skin in the game. It's not a freebie giveaway program where they can cheat their way to victory and walk away with the cash and the medal scott free. They are at risk if they cheat. They can lose their liberty. Ego is a world driver. More for men than for women. But that's OK. It's a fact. You harness up that Ego for the National Good, and we might find a pathway out of our doldrums. If the program works as planned, then for the next two year cycle, we can bump it up to 50 prizes of only $5,000,000 (Five Million dollars each). Once the new thing has been done, and people "get" how it works, you don't need as much money to bring contestants in to the process. That was never a major incentive anyway. It was just there so that folks would know that if they won, some of their expenses would be defrayed, and their personal bank account would get bigger -- so it's worth their time to at least consider. Once tens of thousands of business people know the prizes are worth their time, you don't need to over-incentivize them with cash. The gold medal and the certificate is almost reward enough. Ideally, you want the prize money to go down to around $1,000,000 (just to pay for overhead and marginal up front costs), and the number of prizes to go to 100 every year. At some point you are creating a lot of new jobs. Not by government "stimulus" stupidities. But by incentivizing the Ego drive in Business Personages. One of these medals is a great resume item for folks in the CEO Circle. It's almost like an alternative to Gates/Buffett style Foundation work. This is better than giving money away -- it is teaching people to fish. more

Open Question: The meaning of Cantonese?

I know, I asked this question before in another category but the number of answers were limited so I decided to try it here. Once again, thanks for everyone's contribution! All my life, I've called myself Chinese (because I am) and when people ask where my parents are from, I say that I'm Cantonese. My parents come from the Guangdong province. I always thought Cantonese meant Guangdong, the WHOLE province but then just recently, I found out that it meant from the city of Canton, which is Guangzhou, 广州。My parents don't come from Guangzhou, they come from Taishan, 台山。 When I tell people this, they just look at me weirdly. And trust me, I've looked it up and the word Canton was given to Guangzhou by the Portuguese because they stopped there for trading. Now I'm reluctant to use the word Cantonese. I mean, when people tell me that they're Cantonese, I ask them in the Cantonese dialect, are you Taishanese, 台山人? and they say yes/no, b/c they're either hakka, teochow, etc but they all still call themselves Cantonese because their roots from Guangdong province. Where I live, there are very few people from Guangzhou. In school people from Hong Kong call themselves Cantonese. Most of their ancestors came from Guangdong, but mostly from Zhongshan, not Guangzhou and let me tell you, a lot of people in Hong kong have their roots in Shanghai and not Guangdong but they speak Cantonese. People in Hongkong don't necessarily have roots in the,Guangdong area but they teach their children in Cantonese and when they leave Asia and come to places such a s, USA, Canada, they call themselves Cantonese. People automatically assume they're Cantonese if their parents come from HK. I thought Cantonese and Taishanese meant the same thing. But they don't. I don't want to disrespect my family by telling other people the wrong origin of my ancestors. I also read that a lot of Americans assume people are Cantonese if they speak that dialect. No offense to anyone, I was born in the US too. They say Americans (including ABC's) call people Cantonese because no one ever really bothered to check what Cantonese really meant. I speak that dialect and not Taishanese b/c my parents taught me that. They wanted me to be able to communicate with other people from the Guangdong province b/c there are so many dialects. We call Cantonese plain speech b/c everyone knows how to speak it if they're from the Guangdong province. What is the meaning of Cantonese? (bet i'll get a lot of scoldings from people, lol) And yes, I know I'm rambling and I'm being a real brat but I just wanted to let somebody know and where else can you get better answers from than Yahoo Ans.? Not to mention people from all different areas. And so, thank you all for taking the time to read my rambling and uh, have a good morning/afternoon/evening/night, whichever one depending on the time. * 3 days ago * - 1 day left to answer. Additional Details Taishan and Guangzhou are in the Guangdong province for those who don't know that. 2 days ago And according to Chinese custom, you are whatever your father is. Even if my mom was not from Taishan, I would still be Taishanese b/c my dad is. LIke my dad for example-his mom, my grandma is from Sihui, 四会, another city in Guangdong but b/c my grandpa is from Taishan, (Taishan is a city now) my dad is Taishanese which makes me Taishanese also. Same goes for people who have mothers from a different province. You are whatever your father is. (No offense to anyone)Yeah, well, seeing as how school is going to start soon, I must practice my writing skills, lol. (And i need this much to fully express what I'm saying. What can I say, I'm not a very expressive person.)I did look that up, but Cantonese means people from Canton, Guangzhou, and/or the dialect spoken by the Cantonese people.I've been learning Mandarin for nearly 6 years now, gotta love that dialect, sounds so nice more

Open Question: college geography. HELP!!?

Your textbook authors introduced the concept of time-space convergence, meaning "the rate at which places move closer together in travel or communication time or costs." Geographer David Harvey calls this the concept of "time-space compression." "I mean to signal by that term processes that so revolutionize the objective qualities of space and time that we are forced to alter, sometimes in quite radical ways, how we represent the world to ourselves. I use the word 'compression' because a strong case can be made that the history of capitalism has been characterized by speed-up in the pace of life, while so overcoming spatial barriers that the world sometimes seems to collapse inwards upon us. The time taken to traverse space and the way we commonly represent that fact to ourselves are useful indicators of the kind of phenomena I have in mind. As space appears to shrink to a 'global village' of telecommunications and a 'spaceship earth' of economic and ecological interdependencies -- to use just two familiar and everyday images -- and as time horizons shorten to the point where the present is all there is (the world of the schizophrenic), so we have to learn how to cope with an overwhelming sense of compression of our spatial and temporal worlds. The experience of time-space compression is challenging, exciting, stressful, and sometimes deeply troubling, capable of sparking, therefore, a diversity of social, cultural, and political responses." Additional description of this phenomenon by geographers Doreen Massey and Pat Jess from their book A Place in the World... "The familiar claim that 'places are all becoming the same' seems to reflect a notion that everyone everywhere is wearing jeans and trainers and drinking cola out of a metal can. This perception of globalization follows from ideas prevalent in the 1960s, that the world would become westernized or, perhaps more specifically, that the culture of the USA would spread all over the globe and that, soon, everywhere would have a McDonald's. But although 'fast food' did arrive on the streets of London, Moscow and many other places, it arrived in places which had their own existing character and culture. Sometimes, as in Britain for example, where local characteristics may be reinforced through local planning regulations, some international images have had to be modified to 'fit in' to a local streetscape; sometimes the images and the building-styles that go with the newcomers form a clear reminder of 'the shrinking world' and the multinational corporations. But it is not only American-style burger shops which occupy the High Street; so do Chinese, Italian and Indian restaurants, all of which, in time, become as familiar as the 'local' butcher or greengrocer. In other words, what we have witnessed is a process of global mixing (although an unequal and uneven one) rather than a straightforward, unidirectional notion of westernization. These representations of the moving and mixing of peoples and cultures run quite contrary to the old idea of places having fixed boundaries and exclusive communities. They suggest instead a permeability of boundaries and an openness to influences from elsewhere, an openness which is multidirectional. The unfamiliar becomes familiar and the familiar is found in unfamiliar places; we now expect to find certain foodstuffs and a host of commodities available in places far from where they were originally produced, and we no longer feel we need to take 'everything' with us when we go on holiday 'abroad'. And not only commodities and places; the process of moving and mixing affects cultures as well. Cultures intersect and influence one another in ways which leave behind any notion of a simple and direct association between culture and place. If ever there was a simple correlation between place and culture, it is no longer so simple. No culture, no place, is 'pure' and there is no authentic version of either to 'go back' to. Globalization is part of major processes of social change, and the multidirectional nature of the moving and mixing involved has produced and reproduced not sameness but hybridity and local uniqueness. Comment specifically of how time-space convergence has affected your own life experience. Give an example. Do you think time-space convergence similarly affects urban and the rural equally? Does Time-space convergence differ from country to country, if so, in what ways? I DONT NECESSARILY NEED YOU TO ANSWER BUT A LITTLE HELP IN UNDERSTANDING THIS WHOLE THING AND WHAT THEY REALLY WANT WOULD BE HELPFUL! more

Voting Question: My life, i'm getting more and more tired of it.................?

When someone has a Trauma that causes scarring or disfigurement, It can make that individual suffer with mental difficulties because of the inflict it has on them and what they have to see. So Specialists and great people provide services to try and repair the damage, so the person can feel emotionally better. I have had mental health problems for 4 and a bit years now and i'm 19, I was told I suffer with Body dysmorphic disorder (bdd) Which lead to Anxiety/and bad depression. I have a hatered with my eyes (colour) This is the main focus, I also do not like my Skin & Hair as I feel it is riddled with spots and is dirty,and my hair is unhealthy and look's terrible, I have had Cbt and Therapy, also was addmited to a Young person's in unit and Outpatients unit. Currently I am on medication (paroxetine 20mg) and have been taking this for almost Three months now I found soloticia contact lenses and these made a big difference to my life, But I am terrified they will discontinue making them and I will be left helpless once again. I know there are places within the Uk (where i live) and in the Usa that specialise In making colour lenses for eye trauma patients and for cosmetic purposes to but they come at a high price. The way a person who has scarring to their eye feel's, Is how I feel when i see my eyes naturaully But because it is not a visible thing (like a broken bone) I cannot have the same help even though it would benefit me in the same way. I would really like to be a psychiatrist, But for now am aiming for Clinical psychologist because of my health issues, although I know if i had this small thing and sorted out the other little bits I could acheive my goal at wanting to be a Psychiatrist in the future, But life seems very bleak and unworth it right now as the help I need I cannot get unless I physically caused my own eye trauma which is considered "insane". Will i always be told the same thing, therapy only even though it hasn't bettered me/my life in anyway ? http://www.sclcontactlenses.co.uk/SCL_CONTENT.htm more

Resolved Question: Does anyone listen to JAPANESE MUSIC in the USA?

I developed a taste for the GazettE, -OZ-, Nightmare, and these visual kei bands. I'm honestly obsessed with them (their music) and I'm a guy; they have a lot of female fans that have the hots for them, not that I mind. I play this music around my friends and they complain. It's hard to listen to music that you can only appreciate by yourself instead of sharing it with another person. I want to know how I can get people into this music or find some friends to appreciate it with me; my friends usually say ignorant things like, "what? is this chinese?" and then assume the music is bad. Also, I know I can find people if I get tickets when they tour in the US, but I don't have any money considering I'm a jobless teenager that can't work full time because of school; can't even get part-time. These bands influenced off USA's music in the 80's and blend in their own culture and style, which I think is really cool. Feel free to share your opinion. more

Open Question: Does building GZ mosque reveal that so-called "moderate muslims" maybe aren't so moderate after all?

with their mouths, moderate muslims claim that Islam is a religion of peace, then why the senseless... 1) CONSISTENT incitement of radicals driven by only Islam and not other religions. You never hear of Buddhist suicide bombers. There is no other religion where people are wary about "creating more radicals." No other religion incites as much comparable violence or radicals as Islam (there's gotta be something to that). Christian Crusaders DID, and then the world became a bit more civilized. 2) Intentionl spit in the face and disrespect to relatives of those who died on Sept 11, as well as USA, by building a mosque which is correctly seen as an insult and opposed. Legal? Yes. But how does insensitivity and indifference promote unity or tolerance please? The mosque is already causing a divide, which contradicts what the imam's goal was - understanding. So how is a "forced" mosque seen as a good thing? The eerily named "Cordoba" and they wish to open it on the anniversary of the murder of 3000 people....that doesn't help the cause either, now does it? 3) This one bothers me the most because it is such a blatant contradiction of what a moderate muslim supposedly is against ---> Moderate muslims are fully aware that the mosque would undoubtedly be percieved as nothing short of a "triumphant conquer" by violent jihadists (which only would motivate them more). Therefore, in essence, moderate muslims are encouraging extremism by this unnecessary, IRRESPONSIBLE, provoking, and unethical act. 4) Why do 40% of muslims in UK support Shariah Law???? Does that sound like "a few extremists" to you? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1… Please address # 1 - 4 or DON"T ANSWER AT ALL, thanks. This is not about bigotry (the politically correct inspired diversion), this about FACTS. I also came across this article while browsing the web, which I found to be a very sensible take on this controversial issue... http://www.cfr.org/publication/22750/open_letter_on_the_ground_zero_mosque.htmLet me also add that I have Muslim friends who are some of the best people I've ever known. But there is no denial that there is a level of corruption currently prevalent within Islam that I don't think moderate's have addressed enough imo.Edit: Some ppl can't read & ...My bad about the broken link, here it is... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1510866/Poll-reveals-40pc-of-Muslims-want-sharia-law-in-UK.html more

Resolved Question: CAN I TAKE LEGAL ACTION against a website for defamation? They wont remove stuff about me.?

They're in the USA and I'm in Europe. The website is a public forum where one member has started a thread and managed to find my full name, location, email and picture etc. He and other members have 'exposed' and defamed me horribley and mercilessly - I haven't even broken the law or hurt anyone, they just hate people like me. This thread is now searchable on Google when my name is entered and I obviously dont want anyone to see this. The site's webmaster is ignoring my plea to remove the thread as is the member who started it. Google can't/won't remove it either and those companies that can remove it charge way too much. Where do I stand if I take legal action, how and to whom?This isnt business related at all, I'm just a regular Joe. Seriously it would cost $1000s?Justin K: No, I'm not on that site - there's 1000s like that out there. What lesson? What someone does in their own time is their own business and if they post stuff privately it shouldn't be abused. What kind of person goes to a stupid site like that anyway? If you have a problem those guys are getting babes you want (but can't) then you should get out of the house and MEET THEM instead of wasting your time infront of a PC all day on sites like that. People with your attitude make me sick and are the reason why the internet is not safe...and YOU'RE calling other guys douchebags?! You're just immature bullies. more

Resolved Question: which percentage of the British upper classes would you say were "investing" in the outcome of USA expansion?

as the USA was not fully developed beyond the appalachians really in Victorian times? how the expansion out west of this region in the USA was critical for its business and politcal future and why? did the rail way stocks really gage how well this was doing? how people found out the latest "news" about the USA and were many of the stocks traded or dealt with in London in the 1800's in fact in relationship with the USA? how about Germany or Englands own Industrial expansion? how compared to the USA and why the USA was so important maybe? how the stock market and stock traders in New York looked to the future of the Western USA in the 1800s and how the "West was won" so to say? please explain too how difficult this was or not and why? thanks for your answers! more

Resolved Question: How to get MORE FREE EXERCISE OF RELIGION -- A Modest Proposal.?

Could there be MORE "Free Exercise" of religion with the Mosque Re-located? If the Mosque is Re-Located is the Constitution Better Served? Could Obama Now Say that the Mosque Should be Re-located for More Free Exercise of Religion? Let's say DCI Panetta, and CINC of Northern Command filed a report with Obama that said that if the Mosque at Ground Zero goes forward at that location then every single penny of money contributed for it's construction and endowment would have to be scrutinized by CIA, DIA, NSA, DHS, and FBI. Such intensive scrutiny would require global investigations, since presumably the $100 million is not coming from the Wall Street crowd, but it's coming from the Global Muslim Uma. This would cause "free exercise" objections to be raised and they could not possibly be satisfied without compromising the national security of USA. We can't let Hamas, and Kuds Force, and Al Qaida, and Taliban, and Iran Revolutionary Guard, and Renegade Saudi Princes fund this Mosque. And we can't let it be funded without knowing where the money is coming from. So "free exercise" issues would be raised bigtime as the money for the mosque comes in. Obama could now say: "The interests of the "free exercise" clause would be more fully served if the proposed mosque were located elsewhere. Accordingly, pursuant to the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution, and to my most primary duty under Article II, I am ordering that the Mayor of NYC cause to be withdrawn any approvals that the NYC planning commission may have extended on this project." This way Obama does not lead the Democratic Party over a cliff in November. The GOP is not handed the House and the Senate on a silver platter. The GOP is 100% perfectly braindead. They don't have a single idee except lower taxes. Mostly they want the capital gains tax to not be raised. That would give $680 Billion to the top 1% of taxpayers, which the GOP feel is perfectly fair and reasonable -- all millionaires should become multi-millionaires. This is 100% of the GOP agenda. They have nothing else to say. But I do. I say that when the White House shows up for duty blotto drunk on Political Correctness, then it must be the ordinary citizens that stand the watch. We are the only sober ones left. You say I got all this from FOX, or Limbaugh, or Beck or Hannity -- well I challenge anybody to show me where any of those people said anything that I say BEFORE I SAID IT. See, if I said it first, then even if they say the same thing, that does not show that I copied them. I never listen to those guys. I've been in the national security business for 25 years. I don't need those jerks to tell me what to think. I can make my own mistakes perfectly well without copying them. Dolphin314etc is just the little friend of all mankind, trying to find a way to save this stupid President from his stupid remarks so he doesn't completely take the Democratic Party over the cliff with him in Novermber. Obama could get a new report. Have a new insight, and come forth with an updated and revised and better policy. Presidents can do that. He can dress it up with a little theatre. Everyone comes out better. Rauf would have a real hard time raising $100 million if every donor or every penny got the "full monte" FBI investigation (which is inevitable at this point). American muslims would be much much better off if this whole issue just went away. This was an improvident provokation made by a foreigner, who is a radical Sharia proponent, and a trouble magnet. more

Resolved Question: Could Obama Find an Ethical Legal Solution to his Mosque Dilemma?

Is the Mosque Controversy Going to "Blow Over" by Election Day? Is the American attention span so short that Obama's position on the Mosque at Ground Zero will be virtually forgotten by the time folks go the polls on Election Day this Year? If not, all Democrats may wind up getting punished for Obama's improvident position. Obama may be leading his party over a cliff. The House right now looks like it's the GOP's to lose. They would have to really mess up between now and Election Day to not win the House. The Senate is till up for grabs. If Obama leads his party over a cliff bad enough, the GOP could take the Senate too. I happen to think the GOP is completely and totally devoid of ideas -- they don't have any ideas. Their only item on the agenda is lower taxes. Their main push is to keep the capital gains tax at 15%. Doing that would give $680 Billion to the top 1% of AGI taxpayers in USA. Now they can be multi-millionaires many times over, instead of just millionaires. So letting Obama lead his own party over a cliff would not be good. Here's how to avoid it. Obama's PDB (Presidential Daily Brief), which goes out in edited form to 20 people on Capitol Hill, says one day next week that the CIA has evaluated the Ground Zero Mosque from a National Security perspective and finds that it is very risky to US National Security because of its location and because the money sources that will be paying for it have not been identified, and may turn out to be overseas enemies of the USA. The CINC of the Northern Command and the DCI are invited to the White House, with lots and lots of Photo Ops of them going in, and maybe even a picture of them meeting with Obama. Gibbs comes out the next day and says The President has ordered the Mayor of NYC to find another location for the Imam Rauf Mosque or withdraw the permission of the City for it to be built. At the next news conference Obama says his security advisors have told him that no building of any kind, religious or non-religious should be built at that site if the funding for it has not been identified and fully investigated, and verified to be from sources that are not enemies of the USA. The site is national security sensitive because it is close to 25 major Federal Agencies, two stock exchanges, and two major telecom hubs, one of which in an inter-regional check clearance switch. Obama says that with this updated information he will be exercising his Commander in Chief duties, and invoking the Supremacy Clause and ordering the mosque project to find a new location. He goes on to talk about how the free exercise of religion can better be served if every single penny going into the mosque project does not need to be invesrtigated by the FBI and DHS and DOD and CIA. He would prefer a location that was less sensitive SO THAT no issue of free exercise of religion could arise concerning Imam Rauf's project. He could then spout out a few law cases, just to bamboozle the crowd a bit more. See this way Obama doesn't lead his party over a cliff. The braindead GOP doesn't wind up owning the House and the Senate. They don't wind up giving every single penny in the Treasury to the top 1% of the income earners in USA, and Congressional Gold Medals to every executive in Big Oil, Big Coal, and the US Chamber of Commerce and CATO Institute and AEI. The little friend of all mankind asks you to be respectful and thoughtful as you answer this question, please. more

The CINC of the Northern Command and the DCI are invited to the White House, with lots and lots of Photo Ops of them going in, and maybe even a picture of them meeting with Obama. Gibbs comes out the next day and says The President has ordered the Mayor of NYC to find another location for the Imam Rauf Mosque or withdraw the permission of the City for it to be built. At the next news conference Obama says his security advisors have told him that no building of any kind, religious or non-religious should be built at that site if the funding for it has not been identified and fully investigated, and verified to be from sources that are not enemies of the USA. The site is national security sensitive because it is close to 25 major Federal Agencies, two stock exchanges, and two major telecom hubs, one of which in an inter-regional check clearance switch. Obama says that with this updated information he will be exercising his Commander in Chief duties, and invoking the Supremacy Clause and ordering the mosque project to find a new location. He goes on to talk about how the free exercise of religion can better be served if every single penny going into the mosque project does not need to be invesrtigated by the FBI and DHS and DOD and CIA. He would prefer a location that was less sensitive SO THAT no issue of free exercise of religion could arise concerning Imam Rauf's project. He could then spout out a few law cases, just to bamboozle the crowd a bit more. See this way Obama doesn't lead his party over a cliff. The braindead GOP doesn't wind up owning the House and the Senate. They don't wind up giving every single penny in the Treasury to the top 1% of the income earners in USA, and Congressional Gold Medals to every executive in Big Oil, Big Coal, and the US Chamber of Commerce and CATO Institute and AEI. The little friend of all mankind asks you to be respectful and thoughtful as you answer this question, please. more

Resolved Question: How can I get involved with a foreign exchange program?

I live in the United States and I would like to try a foreign exchange program, maybe to the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Japan, or anywhere else really. I am a 15-year-old (16 in November) sophomore in high school. Can you tell me of any companies or websites where I can get more information on foreign exchange programs? I've heard of a company called Compass (http://www.compass-usa.net) but I didn't really find their website to be too helpful. My dad used to be in Up With People (http://www.upwithpeople.org), but you need to be at least 17 for that. Can you recommend anything else? more

Resolved Question: Is this a good summary for this current event?

Here's the article: (it's off Yahoo news USA) GALT, Calif. – They've been finding hidden bombs, drugs and corpses for years, using their sense of smell to locate what their human handlers would otherwise have to see in plain sight. Now dogs are being deployed in prisons to help curb one of the most serious problems confronting corrections officials: smuggled cell phones. Cell phones smell. And their distinct odor can lead a welltrained canine to a device hidden under a mattress, stashed into a wall or tucked into a fan or radio. Inmates use them to arrange drug deals, plot escapes and attacks, coordinate riots and harass victims. "They have 24 hrs a day to figure out how to hide these from us," said Sgt. Wayne Conrad, who leads the K-9 program in Cali. "I couldn't tell you how long it would take me to go through every nook and cranny in a cell. But when these dogs work, they pick up the odor and go right to it." For security reasons, Conrad won't say what the scent is, but says dogs can find it whether the phone is on or off, broken into pieces or concealed in another electronic device. Cell phone sniffing dogs have been dispatched in prisons in a handful of states, including California, Florida, Texas, Virginia and Maryland, as other methods to heel the problem have fallen short or run into regulatory or budgetary constraints. There are currently 14 dogs working in California's 33 prisons. Five of them are specifically trained as cell phone sleuths. By the end of the summer, the K-9 unit will have 23 dogs trained, about half in finding cell phones, the other half in narcotics. The program continues to grow despite California's $19 billion budget deficit because it's cheap: the dogs are donated by rescue groups and trained onsite for eight weeks at a facility in Galt, about 20 miles south of Sacramento. As of May of this year, California prison officials had already confiscated 4,800 cell phones through the K-9 program and other random searches. They seized nearly 7,000 last year, up from just 261 in 2006. Cell phones are smuggled into prisons through visitors and staff. They're stuffed in cakes, hidden in hollowed out books, thrown over prison walls in garbage bags, transported in laundry delivery, broken apart and brought in bit by bit and disguised as wristwatches or radios. "They have hidden them inside a body cavity," Conrad said. A smuggler can fetch up to $1,000 for a phone, and prisoners rent them out to other inmates for $50 a day, said Richard Subia, California's associate director for adult prisons. California lawmakers recently passed legislation that would make cell phone smuggling a misdemeanor and fine the offender up to $5,000. The bill is currently on Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's desk. The U.S. House last month passed a bill that would ban the use or possession of cell phones or wireless devices in federal prisons and classify those devices as contraband. The U.S. Senate also has passed a similar bill, sponsored by California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who noted that one fired guard admitted making close to $150,000 in a year smuggling cell phones. The legislation would subject anyone trying to provide a cell phone to an inmate to up to a year in prison Concerned about safety, more than 20 states last year petitioned the Federal Communications Commission to allow them to jam cell phone signals at state prisons. The high tech solution is currently prohibited because any disruption would also affect neighboring communities. "So that's when it came back to dogs," Subia said. "We found our resources weren't enough to keep up with the discovery of cell phones." Another problem is that cell phones are getting smarter, and their uses more sinister. "Inmates take pictures of security procedures and drills and send them to people on the outside," Conrad said. "Sex offenders communicate with young kids by posting videos on YouTube and MySpace. This isn't just about safety in prisons. It's safety for the outside, too." At a recent training demonstration, Conrad and another handler, Brian Pyle, brought 7-year-old Caesar and 2-year-old Drako into a mock prison dorm to search for contraband. To the dogs, Belgian Malinois, it's all fun and games. They search for their toy, and when they find it, they bark at it, bite and scratch. Caesar goes first and locates a phone tucked into a vacuum. Drako finds a phone hidden in a light socket. They go across the room and uncover phones under mattresses, in shoes, in a VCR, in a locker. The door to the demonstration is shut so inmates working on the grounds don't see the dogs in action. Nevertheless, their reputation has spread beyond these walls. "We did a random search at a prison one day and when we started coming toward the dorm with the dogs all these phones started flying out the windows,&qNow here's my summary! In several states, prison officials have been training dogs to sniff for cell phones that are used by inmates to plot escapes and attacks, harass victims and arrange drug deals. The dogs have been in use for several years, and each year the dogs find more and more cell phones. Who (drug dogs) What (inmates’ cell phones) When (for several years) Where (in several states) Why (because inmates are doing illegal things with them).It covers Who, What, When, Where, & Why, right? I just started school today and already I have homework. It's worth 50 points so I can't just blow it off ... not like I would anyway, actually. But if you could give me feedback that'd be great.

Resolved Question: How can a 14-yr-old earn a lot of money (like $2,000-4,000)In a short amount of time (A little less than a yr)?

I want to go to a boarding school in the UK (I live in USA) and my mom is totally for it. The only problem is that we don't have enough money. I really want to go for a bunch of reasons too many list. And my mom says I can go if I do extremely well in school and if I help pay for some of it. So that's my questions. How can I make a ton of money in a short amount of time? But keep in mind I am only 14. So its EXTREMELY hard to find a job. Especially in the school year. And please don't say babysitting. Because I can't choose when to babysit. The parents ask me. And people normally just have my sister babysit their kids and not me. but oh well. more

Resolved Question: Tramadol for depression?

I am a recreational drug user. I NEVER take any pharmaceutical drugs for recreation, but I found some generic tramadol online. It was offered through a pharmacy in the USA, overnight delivery, with online consultation (or, you explained your symptoms and actually got a legal prescription.) I understand some people abuse this medicine for its opiate-like "high", and others swear it does nothing to help. Now, I'm a fairly depressed person from time to time (especially right now, going through a very crappy time in life) and I refuse to take any of that Zoloft stuff as I know its side effects are often worse than the depression. When I take tramadol (even at non-recreational doses) I am really relieved from these feelings of depression or anxiety. I feel very relaxed, I find it extremely easy to talk to people who I normally really dislike talking to. My entire day is just 90% better than it would have been without the tramadol. Since I order from an online pharmacy, I run out pretty often. I never experience severe withdrawals (even after taking them for weeks) minus some minor muscle pain. I'm wondering if tramadol is ever prescribed for depression so I can stop ordering through online pharmacies and actually pick it up from my local Walgreens. It also gets rather expensive ordering online, and my insurance is obviously no good over the computer. I don't know how to approach my doctor and admit that I originally got the stuff to take recreationally. I do plenty of reading about every substance I ever put into my body, and highly believe this stuff helps me more than it hurts me. Thanks for reading my wall of text.Thank you for the response. I am completely aware of the side effects of tramadol, and the doses I take it at aren't dangerous (~100mg a day). Many people use pain management pills as a crutch, so I understand why they are reluctant to prescribe it for depression. Its unfortunate for those of us who are intelligent enough to know what we are dealing with :/ more

Resolved Question: Will soccer(football) ever grow in USA?

I'm American and soccer(football) is my favorite sport. American football, baseball and basketball doesn't come close. Every 4 years, World Cup gets more and more attention but never gain that much interests MLS nor European Leagues. People in here thinks the game sucks because they don't know when the excitement takes place. They are thinking that players are randomly kicking around a ball and hoping to score a goal in a 20ft wide net. It's more to than that. They don't find 0-0 exciting which is stupid because some of the BEST matches I've watched ended as 0-0(Arsenal vs Real Madrid 2006). It doesn't matter if the match ends in 0-0 as long as it's hard played because it is ALWAYS competitive, the flow and full of non-stop action. I do wish it becomes the biggest sport in here sometime in my lifetime. The passion for the game is one thing but the problem is the structure. Nobody learns to play in a preferred tempo and how to control or pace a game. Could the US ever win the world cup? It is possible if the youth system was changed to focus less on everyone as many games as possible and more on developing in-game skills and tactics. US has the biggest pool to bring best talent to draw from simply by sheer our size and population. more

Resolved Question: what would u do if u were in my shoes? lived in USA till I was 9, moved countries.21 now, wanna move back..?

i'm a girl, 21 yrs old...the country i'm living in now isn't a bad place.. but it's just not home to me. (i don't want to say which country out of respect of the country, because it is a good place and the people are nice...i've never really fit in though, but i wasn't going to change me to fit in. it's somewhere in europe, i won't say which place). i just finished college to be a pre-school teacher.. and just calculated the amount of money i'll be earning this year. its just barely enough for me to get started if i move back to USA, like with buying a car and getting insurance.. then paying rent. but after i get all that sorted out.. i don't have much money left over, and so i would only be able to move back if i had a job lined up there so i could still afford rent. (i looked at a particular place in mind to get average costs for all that) ...i know i sound like such a spoiled brat saying this.. but i don't think i could face another year after this one is over here in (country X), i'd still have the job to keep earning money, but i just feel so homesick. i feel trapped, like i have to stay here because my parents moved my family here... and now stupid money is holding me back from going back to the place that i call home. well.... i should have been working and saving all this time, knowing how much i missed home - ok i take responsability for causing some of my frustration with this, haha! but i have no life here.. i feel like i have such an american personality.. like i'm not on the same page as the people here in this country..like we have no common interests. i have no friends and never had a boyfriend. thats why i wanna move back so bad to get my life back together again. but what would you do if you were me? i just wanna be happy, and here, i'm not... would you move back with the risk of not finding a job or stick it out for another year?i feel like the longer i stay here the more my life is being wasted.. more

Resolved Question: Why is the assumption by our government "If a country's government is evil, all of its people are evil too"?

I went to download Notepad++ on my new computer and was confused when the only new version I found was called "Notepad++ 5.7 release (outside the USA)" but fortunately they had a news link that said the following: " Under the pretext of cryptographic exportation control, US government made the major FOSS hosts (SourceForge, Google code, Fedora, etc...) in USA territory comply with the Export Administration Regulations. As a result they reject the access of FOSS resources from the 5 countries (Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria) in the "black list" of US government. It's not the first time that a government try to control Internet access to protect its interest. One of most famous examples is the Grand Firewall of China. Obviously the US government is walking into the footsteps of the Chinese government. In our case it's about the violation of FOSS community's right, we cannot just let it happen without doing something. It should never be any government to decide who has the access right to FOSS resource and who has not. A walk around from SourceForge: After complying with this law, SourceForge provided an option "Export Control: non-encryption algorithms included". A mail to make this option explicit was sent to all project managers on SF recently. It's the only FOSS host who offers such walk around as far as I know. We appreciate all their efforts and we will keep our binary releases on SourceForge. So here it is the version 5.7, which (and the future versions) is (will be) released on both sourceforge.net and tuxfamily.org (France) - that ensures the access of Notepad++ resources is out of US government control and guarantees the freedom of access of Notepad++ resource for everyone." http://notepad-plus-plus.org/content/release57-outside-the-USA Just tired of the theory that things should be kept from certain people because the people that run their government are retarded....And seriously, things like notepad++ or google... how does this actually hurt other governments other then convince its people that we're pricks and they should listen to said evil governments? more

Resolved Question: What do you do if you missed your chance at happiness?

I fell for the wrong person, who broke my heart. I know I need to move on with my life but I keep wondering if I could have met someone who would have loved me back if I had made different choices and it's driving me crazy because I'll never know what could have been. It's torturing me. My last year in college I had the choice of studying abroad in Mexico or in Spain. I dreamed all my life of living in both of those countries. I picked Mexico, and Mexico is amazing and I LOVED it there but I keep wondering if I should have picked Spain. My lifelong dream is to teach English as a Foreign Language, and it's relatively easy for a North American to teach EFL legally in Mexico. If I'd studied abroad in Spain I could still have gone to Mexico for a loooong time, because it's right next to our border and it's easy for North American EFL teachers to get work. Ok Spain on the other hand... studying abroad in Spain was probably the only chance I'll ever get to spend a substantial amount of time in Spain. It's almost impossible for North American EFL teachers to get work there. Not totally impossible but VERY difficult. The most auspicious way for an American to get to spend a long time in Spain is to study abroad there... and I'm out of school and now it's too late. =( Well, when I was in Mexico I met, befriended, and fell for a guy (I'll call him Fulano) and eventually he broke my heart. I know that there's no one in the world that I could ever possibly love as much as I loved Fulano, but I keep wondering what would have happened if I'd studied in Spain. I wouldn't have met anyone as special to me as Fulano but I might have met someone who returned my feelings, and I would never have known that Fulano existed. I keep wondering if maybe there was someone in Spain that I would have mutually loved (even though not as much as Fulano), and it's driving me crazy because I'll never get another chance to spend a long time (like a year) there. As a tourist, you get three months and that's not enough time to meet someone and cultivate a relationship! I can't stop wondering if, somewhere out there, there is someone that would have loved me back. We can never find each other, it's too late. I want to go back to Mexico and teach EFL and it has NOTHING to do with Fulano. I don't want to see him or talk to him... and the city where I'm planning on going is FAR away from his hometown. I was just really unhappy in the States and never got over my reverse culture shock and and never readjusted to US culture... and I want to teach EFL because I'm unhappy here in USA. Spain is amazing and there are some really lovely people there, and Mexico is amazing, with lovely people... but in Mexico they welcome us with open arms, and that's why I want to go teach EFL there... I want to go somewhere that I'll be wanted, appreciated. I've been to Spain (but only for a couple months) and I'm in love with both countries... I love them both equally in a unique way. I know that there are guys from other countries living in the states, but please don't say I should meet someone here. I'm so unhappy in USA, and I don't want to stay here. I don't see how anyone in their right mind would leave a great place like Spain and come here to USA. If I met a guy here, then I'd have to live in USA for the rest of my life. I'd be trapped here forever! I mean no offense to anyone, I'm not putting down USA, I just don't belong here... I would rather live in a Hispanic country. I had a VERY difficult time readjusting to American culture and I don't wanna be miserable... How do I deal with wondering if it's too late for me to find the person who was meant for me? more

Resolved Question: Father just whipped me in my dorm room...what do I do now?

My first week here at college as a freshman and I’m wishing I would have picked a college on the other side of the USA. I got into it over the phone with my dad about changing my major again. He was really getting on my nerves and I just told him, “I’m an 18 year old man. F*** your opinion. I’ll do whatever the hell I want to do.” And hung up in his face. It felt pretty bad after I did it and when the phone rang back I didn’t answer it out of guilt. Me and dorm mate went to class and had dinner together, when we got back to my room, my dad was standing in front of my door arms crossed. He told my roommate to find anywhere else to be but there. I couldn’t believe that he drove an hour up to my college to fuss at me about the stupid major change. Once in the room he closed the door and grabbed me, long story short, tore my a$$ up with his trusty belt (which still stings like hell at any age) and told me that I was a man and could change whatever I wanted to. But this butt whipping was to show that no matter how far away I am or how old I get, that I better never disrespect him again. He got in his car and went an hour back home. I didn’t tell my roomie, but I didn’t have to. The suite next to mine heard my dad wearing me out! This should be a great year! Good TROLLIN on my dad’s part right. I should call the cops on his butt, but I know he’d just stop paying for everything if I got him in trouble, not to mention my family would probably hate me if my dad was charged. What should I do? And yes this is a new account with a fake name, I have a real account but my friends back home don’t need to know! I have enough people talking about my a$$ whipping already here!Oh Yeah, and no "hit him back" answers, I see a lot of those on yahoo answers. My dad would lay me out cold if I did that...so hell no to that one!To answer a question below, if you have ever been in college then you know you have intro classes early on geared to your major.

Resolved Question: I live in the UK. If I live on a boat, or a cruise ship, will I be free from paying income taxes?

I make all my income on line, so I don't need to live in any particular place. So, (I was thinking)....could I just make an income while travelling around on a cruise ship and pay no taxes? With the amount I already pay for rent, power, meals, repairs, cleaning etc. ,and taxes on my income... it actually would be cheaper for me to just leave and live on a cruise ship!! And you can travel the world at the same time. I think I'd love this new freedom. And freedom from saving all receipts , and having accountants and filing forms, and spending all this time doing all this bookwork. I'd have no issue with paying taxes as a self employed person if the procedure didn't take up so much of my time and energy and expenses of hiring accountants. But how can I open bank accounts with no address. (I need a bank account for my business). And I don't think I like the idea of an address in some tax haven. It just sounds a little shaddy to me, and I don't want that. Plus the UK might give me hassles if they see I've moved to a low tax juristiction address. Can't I just tell them the truth that I am now living on a cruise ship and don't plan on living in the UK anymore? So,.. does anyone know how I can do this? I will of course talk to an accountant eventually, but first. I thought it woudl be interesting to find out if anyone has any tips or ideas or has heard of real life experiances of others who have done something like this. I love the idea of just living on a ship. (and for any USA people, we do not have to pay tax on our worldwide income once we leave our country. I am mentioning this , since some Americans I have talked to do not know this. ) Any info would be appreciated and I am sure others reading this question may also appreciate your answers. Tks! more

Resolved Question: Why are people calling Rand Paul (Ron Paul's son) crazy?

http://www.rhrealitycheck.org/node/13503 This is just one article I've found. To be libertarian is to be truly free. It is what this country (USA) was built on. It treats every human as a true equal, and it gives everybody the right to do what they want, as long as they're not harming anyone or destroying anything. This does include giving you the right to deny people of certain color or sexual orientation to be allowed in your private business. And what's wrong with that? I'm not racist, and neither is Rand or Ron, but that doesn't give ME the right to tell someone what to do. It would be like if they came and told me I HAD to be racist. Besides, I doubt many people would deny patronage to people of different races and sexual orientation, and if they did, they would only be hurting themselves by turning away paying customers. At that point, those people of different ethnicity would go find a place that allowed them to eat/shop/whatever, and eventually, they'd put the racists out of business. Maybe I'm the only one that thinks it's wrong that I can't wear a swastika on my shirt in public. Would I ever if I had the chance? No. But the fact that the government says I can't makes me feel that much less free. And to add to the ADA, this is yet another program the government has force on us. They're telling us how we have to treat someone. By the way, if you go to youtube and search for: Penn and Teller Bullshit! Handicapped Parking, you can see how the ADA is total crap. There's even people with disabilities that put it down. One man said if he would have had the ADA at a young age, he wouldn't have been as successful because he would have had everything handed to him. Not only that, but if a state wants to enforce the ADA, they can, but that doesn't mean the state next to them has to. Geez, you'd think people would be a little more open-minded about going back to the government that made this country so great. The US we live in today is the country our forefathers ran from. A country that tries to set up a global empire and lets the government tax you until you're bankrupt. Our forefathers were against wars that didn't involve us, against big government, against all these ridiculous taxes and against having the government tell us what we can and can't do. tl;dr If you want to live in the REAL free US, the one that we sing about in the Star Spangled Banner, then vote Ron or Rand Paul 2012Just think about it like this too. Let's say Johnny's Burgers is owned by a racist, but thanks to the Civil Rights act, the owner can tell you to leave just for being black. So instead of him telling you he hates black people, he has to keep his mouth shut, and you give him your $5.00 for a burger and a drink. Well guess what? You just gave your money to a racist. You just gave money to a man that hates you because of your skin color. He can't say so, but he still hates you because your skin's a different color. It's kind of like when sexual predators have to put signs in their yard to let people know they're sexual predators. The racists will have their signs in their windows, so you know to stay away. And the US is a little more progressive today, I doubt there would be many segregated private businesses.. Otherwise the KKK would be a lot more widespread right now.Agreed, I still hope Ron runs in 2012, Rand just doesn't have the same feel that Ron has. Ron seems a lot more excited and devoted to turning the US around. Rand's kind of dry imo. more

You are an open minded and fair person. You and I hear many things including Hill & Knowlton trained Nurse Nayirah and Saddam Hussein's alleged shredder from totally misguided American mercenaries who are stupid enough to send their own children to die for the mistress called Israel. Like you I am for everyone’s right. However, please give me the statistics in support of those false and ill motivated claims! Please remember and read Revealing the real agenda of the Time journalist on Afghanistan before saving anyone!

Why can't Middle Easterners just call it a day and get a divorce ??????? Why must the men (??) kill the wife in such matters... ??

Resolved Question: What nationalities would look upon a woman from USA as a serious girlfriend?

I'm from Florida, but I wish I were from Texas...or anywhere else. I live in North Carolina, USA, now. Sometimes I feel like I should have been Mexican or European. I just wish I were something other a plain boring Floridian! (no offense to my fellow Floridians) When I was a teenager I wondered why I still had no interest in boys... I looked at the blue-eyed, blond guys at my high school and didn't feel anything and wondered exactly why I was different. It never occurred to me that I could potentially be attracted to guys of another race... I'm not racist and never was, I just didn't know a lot of guys from different ethnic backgrounds. Every time I've ever been interested in a guy, it's almost always a Hispanic guy, or occasionally a black guy. I'm not racist, I just can't help who I have feelings for. But, it seems like people always marry their "own kind." I really fancied a friend of mine who was from Mexico but he turned out to be racist. He acted interested in me but every time he got a girlfriend... it was always a girl from his country! We're no longer friends because he said something horrible to me. He said that he had always wanted to have sex with me and he wished I'd slept with him. He didn't think I'd be a suitable girlfriend, he was with another girl at the time and she was his absolute world. I was so upset... he thought I was good enough to sleep with but not good enough to be his girlfriend. I told him that he wasn't good enough to be my friend and I never wanted to see him again. I'm not racist and I have loads of Mexican friends, but I will never forgive Fulano for the horrible way he treated me. He basically thought that I was good for nothing but sex (which I didn't do and never will). I'm not really proud of being American or white, it's not an accomplishment or anything. Nothing wrong with it but I just don't identify with American white culture and feel like I should have been Mexican or European instead. I feel like my chances of getting a serious boyfriend are really slim and feel like my background makes me an undesirable girlfriend. I'd like to have a bf but fear being discriminated against. It just seems like people of my birth are looked upon as unattractive. I don't want to bring anyone down, but this article reflects what seems to be everyone's opinion: www.nomarriage.com The guy that wrote it sounds like an ***, but then it seems like EVERYONE prefers latinas or non-American girls... I mean how many beautiful movie stars are American and white, for example? It makes me feel really undesirable. I'm not proud of my culture but I resent being slandered... I'm not cold or superficial and I'm certainly not easy. I know it's creepy to be a virgin at my age (I'm 31... yeah an old bag I know) but here I am, an old hag and I've never slept with anyone... I'm definitely not easy or a slut, but yet everyone assumes I am bc of being an American woman. Does someone of my background have a chance of ever finding someone? If so, what nationality would take me seriously? Thanks if you can help me. more

Resolved Question: OK, pay attention please, this is a serious?

For any and every individual in the USA. Law enforcement, citizens, civilians, etc....I got arrested in June. Doesn't matter why. Innocent until proven guilty. The police department and all other affiliated agencies receive a gigantic amount of tax money every year to 'uphold justice and protect our citizens and so on and so forth'. Also, they entities I refer to, courts, police, etc......profit a large amount of money from fines from traffic tickets which goes into these entities, as well as the money from court cost for people accused of whatever. My question is, I am innocent until proven guilty, why was I incarcerated before I was found guilty? My second question is, the one that really matters is.....Is it okay for a person who has been arrested and incarcerated to have to drink water that contains high levels of heavy metals, eat food that has almost no nutritional value.... for the amount of money the jail system receives I thought I would at least get food that has some type of nutrition, be subjected to psychological abuse, be denied medical attention (i am on medication), and be denied almost all of my constitutional and civil rights. If you fix your mind to say something like, "duhhh, your in jail what do you expect", don't bother answering. Really, I know being in jail isn't supposed to be pleasant, but since when is it acceptable to be tortured by the ones we pay taxes to to maintain their establishments and salaries. Seriously, its been over a month in a half and I can still taste the lead/metal in my mouth. Lets see how Americans really feel about their Civil rights. I started having chest pains and the guards and nurses disallowed me to see a doctor even though my blood pressure was at lethal levels. more

Resolved Question: Recycle, not getting stuck doing this. I like to save Earth by not recycling?

I don't recycle, I mean people freak out about this, my GF freaks out, I tell her over and over that what you are doing is killing the planet, recycling is all about net profit, ALOT of money ... I throw a plastic bottle into the trash I am looked at lesser then human and what not and lazy and blah blah blah, these freaks recycle and feel very good, but that is it, it makes you feel good so good for you. It becomes a problem when the person then pushes this issue onto another person, if it makes you feel good then by all means recycle but do not push this shit on other people. Tree NUT JOBS always love to talk about the trees and save the trees but wtf, evidence says that recycling does not save trees, can't make it any clearer. Anything about that, you don't understand. Maniacs always come out screaming about cutting down trees, paper comes from trees so we have to use trees, virgin pulp that goes into paper, which are the tree farms. Recycling paper is bad for the environment, recycling is a manufacturing process. A pile of paper you put in your bin, gets picked up by one recycling truck, after your trash truck has already came by and picked up your trash and then recycle one truck goes to the manufacturing center, which uses engery and real polluting smoke. Other trucks come by and take your paper to a paper mill, sometimes hundreds of miles away, near a forest, which then they de-ink it and bleach it, leaves a scummy slimy chemical fudge, wtf do you do with that! The paper pulp that is turned into newspaper then, belches more smoke into the air, so if you really want to save the environment and if you save the newspaper, read the same paper, same page, over and over again. same bullshit. Of course if you watch tv, and stop reading stuff like the newspaper, no more creating trees to cut down, and will stop growing trees for paper and we will have less trees, SO if you want trees, waste more paper. We have 3 times more trees then we did in 1920, how the F! Cans (Aluminum) some truth to this cause a genius can figure this out to, cause WHY would you see people collecting cans and stealing your cans from your garbage cause there is real money in aluminum, duh! Cost less, but does not make up for all other issues. After a lot of research and my own outcome, I don't recycle except for cans, everything else is BULLSHIT, people don't know about any of this, just like PETA- witch is bullshit, all about a lot of MONEY that you are seeing and you think you are saving the planet - feel bad for these people, losers, go and put 20 recycle bins in the front of your house for every item to separate. We could go on and on, about landfills - how they are beautiful and those tiny dots on the map of the USA will not be filled for thousands of years, YOU were all lied to back in 1987 when the media made this extreme up roar when the barge couldn't find a place to to the garbage so the media put LIES all over tv and nobody has ever taken a moment and really did some research on recycling.Hey ignorant bullshit person, I see questions and they all are at the top when you first start to read, you see what I mean... one-sided opinion - Well now, everything I said is not a opinion but facts that the scientific community have produced, so thanks for thinking that I thought all this up myself but no, these are from real scientist and nut job tree lovers that want TO KILL THE PLANET EARTH BY RECYCLING!

Voting Question: Serious help needed about green card status?

I am a US green card holder for 2 decades. Ever since I got the green card, I never managed to secure a job in US as I was too highly educated and I did not want to work for $7 per hour. Upto 2005, my brother supported me with food and accommodation. He fed me for 15 years and still wants to look after me food/accommodation wise. But he makes $40K per annum and pays mortgage and fees for daughter at University. As a result he lives on bread and water but fed me better.It is 2010 now and I have not been able to go back to US due to lack of funds (to get food stamps in US I have to have paid 40 quarters of taxes but I have never worked and never filed taxes. I did do 15 years of unpaid voluntary work to help five needy/disabled neighbours. In UK I get state benefits so I have no bills for my food or accommodation or medicines (I am seriously diabetic). I had a friend who overstayed out of US for 2.5 years but me managed to get into US via Toronto, canada because often if you flash your green card, they just let you pass. Another person I read about, he was out of US for 3 years but he said I only left 10 weeks ago and immigration officer let him in. This is because when you leave US, there is no immigration so if a green card holder leave USA, they do not know when you left (compared to tourist visa when they attach a slip in your passport which airline check in people remove so they know when you left the country). Yet another person I read about as follows. This person left US to go to France to attend a wedding. 10 days later when he was returning, he found out that he left his green card in a relatives home who is not contactable. There was no time to wait so he decided to enter US under visa waiver having electronically registered the same in US embassy at Paris. Then he came back to France within the time it said on the sticker stuck to his passport. He then collected his green card and entered US with his green card and there was no problem. There are three scenarios above and I need to ask which I can get away with. This is the last time I will leave US, You guys will think I should not be allowed to enter US as I had no intyention of staying there. Not true. I could not stay due to lack of funds and was ill with diabetis and could nto pay doctor and even a dentist. I am now in touch with a person who says he will give me below minimum wage for 18 hours work per day for at least 15 months. I do need to enter US and I am at my wits end. Please advise as I do not want to lose the green card. I wish I had done a few hours a week job when I was there upto 2005 or even applied for citizenship and then I could have been out of US even for decades. Help from legally qua;ified people greatly appreciated. PS: Does US now keep records for departure from USA (for green card holders) and how about me entering US via Toronto or may be under visa waiver and then return to UK within the expiry period and then enter US again but with green card. more

Resolved Question: is age relevant anymore?

you know the saying "40 is the new 30" and other like that. people are living longer, healthier and more active lives with the life expectancy in the 80s and rising compared to a few centuries ago when it was 40 or 50 years old. and people look younger than ever. it's common to find age gaps of 10 years + in older married couples. I myself am getting older like anyone else but I look and feel like I'm still around 20, yet all the women my age are getting married and have kids and while I'm still a kid at heart this makes me worried: by the time I get out of school and have my career going and am ready for a girlfriend/maybe more will there be anybody left? I was asked out the other day by a girl who was 9 years younger than me, legally she was old enough but I felt like she was a little too young for me, not because of her but because of the views society forces on us in the USA. lot's of younger women (5-10 years younger) like me as I am fun and a kid at heart and all the girls my age are either in a relationship or tied down to children who aren't mine. I try not to worry but should I be worried? what do you think about dating an older guy and how old is the "limit" at some point in the future will this become almost irrelevant? would a girl who is around 21 want to date a guy who is 27-31? does age even matter after a women is in her early 20s?

Resolved Question: Whats up with this fence, anyone with common sense would know it is stupid?

Seems like a waste of money, they are going to get through it, no matter how extreme it is, and plus it is not being covered all 2000 miles so they are smart just like any other human so why waste the money for a wall, it just seems so primitive. I understand the problems and so on but this just makes no sense especially in this century where we should have a lot more smarts to fix this issue then wasting the money on a wall. When I think about this - the only T-Based solutions(rational, logical ways) for the wall project to work. Solution 1 - full tactical attack so they cannot run away and find another way in Have American boarder security guards use armalite AR-10 carbine gas-powered semi-automatic machine guns, pumping round after round into Mexicans and there babies while some get away, the kids holding there baby brother and sister, and commander issues DELTA team 2 to pull out the RPG and launch rockets and set the C-4 off that is in the direction where they are heading away too. Make sure all humans have been destroyed. Many Americans you talk to on the street agree with solution one, they love solution one. must be much more then people coming in to work for cheap, even work building the wall cheap.. They simply have a hatred and do these wall projects and use over dramatic speaking and solutions while sector 9 has been comprised, send delta team 2, report in team, and this is affirmative. Something a lot of people don't know, you have two different types of Mexicans, You have ones called SouthSiders another called Northerners which are gang affiliated Mexicans and they are born in the USA, they don't come in illegally because they were born here but they are criminals so they will find a way in and this is 100% fact. Not trying to bag on you southsiders and what not but to explain to the American people these are the American raised Mexicans that steal, shoot people and all the other crazy criminal stuff they do and lets not forget DRUGS, that is a big one. While you have the other Mexicans called Paisa's born in Mexico and speak only Spanish which are not criminals for the mos part, which of course you will always have someone that breaks the law but for the most part these are the mexicans that are out picking and boxing and doing hard work for cheap while any White American would not do these jobs for the wages that are being paid, even the Paisa's seek protection from the Surenos since they will steal from them and what not cause they are more business like and only care to make money. A lot of surenos really are scum and steal from people cause themselves are not high in the ranks and blah blah blah, but the point is you have two types of Mexicans.If you are not going to use extreme lethal force, then the wall project is a waste.Boy...where do I begin? (1)Yeah I no what u are talking bout. The above as you can see, if you know english can understand that I said. (2)Yeah I know what you are talking about. Scientist tend to talk like the above (1) only spelling nazi care soooo much about how words are spelled like they want to prove what kind of point. Just something I found interesting in college. Yes I know many scientist now a days are crack pots but who cares as long as you have no trouble figuring out the spelling, what is the problem. just like there, their - who cares!when it comes to math, these concepts of course will not work. but english beeing easy to understand when words are incorectly spelled. more
