Question #2:
Its beginning to look like anything but the Barack Obama signature years of "Change" ahead that he claimed he was for.His appointments for Foreign Policy are now appearing to be the same ones that have led up to the Bush foreign Policy that has screwed us financially(two wars).These Cabinet members were the same ones that during the Clinton years set the trend for the Liberation of Iraq ,and also the Misinformation that led to the removal Saddam,along with bad info about weapons of mass destruction. Joe Biden was responsible for backing off on the further examination of the Intelligence before calling a vote for war. What a disaster.Here we go again.We will stay in Iraq and move into Afghanistan even deeper.Do you really believe that they won't have to draft to win in Afghanistan?The US Military isn't Large enough to win in Afghanistan.We have excellent troops in there now ,but 3 tours under their belts is taking its toll.
Question #3:

All this just to make people think they deserve the bailout.
Read it carefully and then respond...
This is my favorite...
Myth...
GM doesn’t make cars that people want to buy
Fact...
9.3 million people worldwide bought GM vehicles last year. That’s more vehicles than any other automaker in the world sold. And in the U.S., which is the world’s largest market, GM sold more vehicles than any other manufacturer in 2007, and it has sold more than any other automaker to date in 2008.
In 2008, the Chevy Malibu was named North American Car of the Year, and the Cadillac CTS was Motor Trend’s 2008 Car of the Year. In 2007, the Saturn Aura and Chevy Silverado won North American Car and Truck of the year. Those awards are given and judged by automotive journalists.
Customers have responded just as enthusiastically as the critics. Although total U.S. vehicle sales are down almost 15% so far this year (through October), a number of GM cars and crossovers have enjoyed significant sales increases:
Chevy Malibu +39%
Pontiac Vibe +36%
Pontiac G6 + 4%
Cadillac CTS +15%
Saturn Aura +7%
GMC Acadia +2%
Buick Enclave +88%
Then someone needs to explain to me why they need the money....to me all this shows is they are financialy irresponsible.
Not to mention GREEDY

Dilemma: clean energy vs food for sustenance
your thoughts?
Pegminer, lower temperatures usually shorten the summer and corn season is usually summer.
Bio-fuels is burning our food supply (with global warming or global cooling) is that the right path?
A cooling trend will exacerbate that situation!

Question #11:
Living In America I'm beginning to see a scary trend. It seems to be that we are teaching our youngsters that its more important to express yourself the way you want to rather then setting an example of respect for everyone.
Nobody says please or thank you anymore. I was walking my dog the other day and i waved to my a couple of my neighbors and all they did was look down and acted like i was a ghost. Back about 10-15 yrs ago all the neighbors knew each other. Now i couldn't tell you the names of the people who live near me.
It seems like we have glorified self reliance to much and have put down the idea of sacrificing for the greater good of the community. Why is that. Why does our society place SO much emphasis on acting like a jerk and then turn around and say acting with respect and honesty is for wimps?

This is my essay which I've just completed. Please correct my faults if you can and give me your opinion. Thank so much !
TOPIC: HOW MANY TYPES OF ADVERTISING ARE THERE? PRESENT THE FEATURES AND EXAMPLES OF EACH TYPE. ANALYZE THE APPROPRIATENESS OF THEM.
Nowadays, almost companies can’t lack advertising to introduce their products or services to market. There are many types of advertising. Each type has different role and appropriateness. So, this essay will focus on three types in three paragraphs. Introducing about print advertising in the first paragraph; and then, introducing mass media advertising in the second paragraph; and finally, introducing outdoor advertising in the third paragraph.
Today, advertising products via print media is a common practice. The print media include all newspapers, newsletters, magazines, booklets, pamphlets, and other printed publications. The role of print advertising is to offers basic information about the company, their products or services to the selected audiences. Most print media are local. Magazines, on the other hand, have always been national, although there is a trend today toward localization and specialization. There are a huge amount newspapers and magazines are published everyday. But only some types tend to a particular group people. For examples, sporty newspapers are written for men, teenage magazines for teenagers, etc. Therefore, select the right type of newspapers or magazines is important decision of the company, which may reach larger selected audiences. According to a statistic, in Vietnam, at present, there are about 600 newspapers and magazines. Almost companies, which are operating in Vietnam, are advertising via print media; for examples, Vinamilk, FPT, Honda, etc.
Mass media advertising is popular most and impact in people’s awareness of the companies and their products. This type includes TV, radio and internet. Mass media advertising is more than simply persuasive messages. Through text and through images, the ad conveys values and beliefs, and these have meanings for those who read, listen or watch them. In this type, cost is the main obstacle for companies which want to advertise on TV. Moreover, just as print ad, mass media ad also has many channels tend to many different objects. Consequently, if the company advertises with reasonable duration and right channel, the company will not waste more money and their advertising still effective. Due to the great role of mass media in the life, nowadays, there are many companies use mass media for their main publicity. For instance, Unilever present their products as OMO and Comfort, P&G with Tide and Downy, etc.
Outdoor advertising, one of the oldest and most enduring forms of advertising, is advertising on signs that are located outdoors in public places. This form includes billboards, trade fairs, sporting evens, etc. Outdoor advertising captures the viewer's attention 24 hours a day. True, it has limited coverage. But a well-planned outdoor campaign can effectively cover most major markets. The main features of this type are brevity of the message and cannot target customer. So, the message usually is slogan of the company, such as Canon Corporation with the slogan is “Delighting you always” or Toyota with sentence “Moving forward”, etc.
In short, using which types and using on which time is important decision of the company. In my opinion, with carefully choosing, the company can get what they need from all the variable advertisements
Question #14:
Many couples are [ giving up ] on 3 somes because it is a distraction . Is this the trend in 2008 ?
Question #15:
How many times have you heard a girl say they are fat whether they are, or not? Has it always been like this? Or is suddenly a trend or something?
And why do girls think they're fat? I'm not blaming or harrassing anyone(trust me I have done it too.) In fact, thats what lead me to this question. I am not skinny nor fat, just lean, in the middle, and most people call me skinny or simply healthy, and one guy called me fat, and all of sudden thats how I viewed myself. Eventually I got over it and realized how stupid I was, but what is it that leads girls into thinking that?
Question #16:
I want to find it for a gift. To teach make up application for a young lady.
Many modeling books are out there. And there are many books that teach women make-up application techniques. I just don't know which one is the best out there.
Hopefully you can tell me your favorite book.
Is the Bobby Brown book a new one? Did you like it?
I am looking for a book, sorry not a magazine.
Question #17:
Any adult pony riders here?
I always see questions about people being too big for their mounts. Does anyone here buck the trend and ride ponies?
If so, how tall are you? what is your weight? how tall is your pony? what is his/her breed.
Me-
5'7" 170 lbs, 14.1 hh, Morgan x Haflinger
I plan on eventing and working towards the USDF adult pony dressage division.
I'm not asking if it is OK for me to ride my pony. I am asking if there are adults out there who also enjoy their ponies and if so, what their sizes,etc. are.
I'm interested in spreading awareness about ponies as an option, not looking for approval. :P
Question #18:
Disregarding bias TV contracts by ESPN or other nationally televised networks (and other factors of income), in terms of in-game passionate fan support, is the NHL doing better than the NBA?
NHL:
Click Here ...
NBA:
Click Here ...
I SWEAR I don't favor one of the leagues over the other. Actually, I think both are going to hit bad times with the economy and overpriced players and tickets.
Stats:
The NBA has 8 teams that are selling less than 80% of their tickets. The NHL has only three (Florida, Columbus and Atlanta...no surprise there). Furthermore, 3 NBA teams are selling less than 70% of their tickets.
Is the NHL doing better than the NBA this year? What is the reason for this downward trend for the NBA?
Question #19:
...Made one of his female parts large enough to, ahem, do the do. But only women can have children. And men are not mothers, and he considers himself a father, but if you give birth to a baby, you're a mother. And he said on Larry King that he did it naturally. So he doesn't have man parts. He's still a woman, but with facial hair, a big, you know, and no breasts. Am I right so far?
I hope this doesn't turn into some kind of trend. My head hurts.
