Question for those who want to welcome all the Syrian refugees with open hearts and open arms...?
I'm just wondering WHY those of you who want to welcome 50,000+ Syrian refugees into our country, haven't done anything to help the 579,000 homeless Americans right here at home?
7 AnswersPolitics6 years agoAre the Perris attacks PROOF that what we're doing isn't working?
A visibly frustrated Obama stood in front of reporters at the G20 summit, irritated that he felt the same questions were being asked over and over again, and explained how the US is doing everything it can to counter the ISIS threat. But isn't that kind of ridiculous, seeing as how ISIS terrorists shot up France just a couple of days earlier? How can you say that our tactics don't need to change and that we're doing everything possible, when what we're doing CLEARLY isn't working?
5 AnswersPolitics6 years agoWhere to take my wife on vacation where we can reconnect?
My wife and I have been together for 20 years! (married for 17). As you can imagine, we have been through a LOT since 1995! So many high's and low's to list, it would take 10 pages! Best of the best, and worst of the worst. This year has been especially full of high's and low's. Feels like the friggin stock market!
The GOOD news is that business is up, our finances are solid, and we're going to have some disposable income to do some FUN things in the coming months. We've discussed going on a trip, both with our kids and without, but I am not sure of where just me and the wife should go? The wife says Bora Bora, which I'm not opposed to, but that's going to be a $10k trip. We've already been to Hawaii, Cancun, Jamaica, St. Maartin, and we've been on a couple of cruises. Any suggestions on where we can go for 7-10 days? Reconnect? Rekindle? Make it JUST about US?
6 AnswersMarriage & Divorce6 years agoIs this the final year for the SAN DIEGO Chargers? Hello Los Angeles Raidgers?
A year ago I wouldn't have believed it. But more than ever, all signs point to this being the LAST year in San Diego for the Chargers. Based on what you've read and heard, do you think this is it for San Diego fans? Because I know I'm not alone when I say that I can't bring myself to support a team that shares a stadium with the Raiders (if they end moving back to LA too)!
5 AnswersFootball (American)6 years agoHow come one represents an entire race, but the other is a lone wolf?
Explain to me why a white kid shooting up a black church represents the entire white race according to the media, with calls to remove the confederate flag from buildings and even the cancellation of the Dukes of Hazzard because the General Lee features the Confederate flag on it's roof? Yet when an ISLAMIC TERRORIST shoots up a bunch of people at a Navy facility, he's a "lone wolf" who doesn't represent the Muslim community? And we need to quit assuming that the countless terrorist attacks over the years at the hands of Islamic Extremists are representative of the Muslim religion?
10 AnswersPolitics6 years agoWhat do liberals have against capitalism?
When did liberals decide that free enterprise and private businesses create recessions, unemployment, and raise the misery index? But that the GOVERNMENT creates jobs and prosperity?
13 AnswersPolitics6 years agoHow did George W Bush become the most powerful man in the universe back in 2008?
How did George W Bush become more powerful than Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd, and House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank? Are we supposed to believe that George W Bush was more powerful than TWO THIRDS of the United States Government, and that neither the Democratic majorities in the House or the Democratic majorities in the Senate were able to stop him from single handily destroying the US economy back in 2008?
7 AnswersPolitics6 years agoSweden pays the Clinton Foundation $26 million while violating sanctions against Iran?
Can you believe this woman expects us to vote for her?
"Bill Clinton’s foundation set up a fundraising arm in Sweden that collected $26 million in donations at the same time that country was lobbying Hillary Rodham Clinton’s State Department to forgo sanctions that threatened its thriving business with Iran, according to interviews and documents obtained by The Washington Times." http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/06/03/bill-cl...

6 AnswersPolitics6 years agoWhy does Obama believe he deserves a pat on the back for cutting the deficit?
I suppose that TECHNICALLY the US spending deficit has been cut in half (only after it was quadrupled). But how does that explain WHYour deficit was well over $1 trillion for the first 4 years Obama was in office? Keeping in mind that Democrats controlled both houses of Congress the first two years of his first term!
2009: $1.4 trillion
2010: $1.2 trillion
2011: $1.3 trillion
2012: $1.0 trillion
2013: $680 billion
2014: $483 billion
2015: $583 billion
7 AnswersPolitics6 years agoDo you snoop through your husband's phone?
Just wondering how many wives think it's okay to SNOOP through your husband's cell phone? Email? Internet history? I'm wondering how many of you believe that "if he's got nothing to hide, then he's got nothing to worry about"?
Bonus question:
What would land your husband in hotter water?
A. Questionable or flirty text messages from female co-workers, and porn in his internet history?
B. NO text message history and NO internet history?
C. Finding out he put a password on his phone?!
15 AnswersMarriage & Divorce6 years agoHow many people who list DIVORCE as the solution have actually been married?
Many times (most of the time) when we read questions from husbands who are upset about a cheating wife or a wife who doesn't know what to do about a cheating husband, there are always 1-line answers from people who suggest that DIVORCE is the only option. "Leave! You deserve better!"
I'm wondering how many of the people who give these answers have actually been married? How many people who think DIVORCE is the answer have kids with their spouse? Own a home? Have a savings account? Do people REALLY think it's going to be easier to hire an attorney? Divide up your assets? Fight and argue over who gets to keep the couch? The TV? The dishes? The silverware? The glasses? The bed? The dresser? The hair dryer? Do the people who suggest DIVORCE as the solution, think about what you'll tell your friends? Your family? The teacher in your kids class? Speaking of your kids, what do they suggest you tell them? And where do these people suggest that you live? Are you going to be able to afford to stay in your home if you kick your husband/wife out?
I realize that when a spouse cheats, it's a betrayal. It hurts. It stings. It's something that MANY married couples never get over. But if there's a chance you can work through it, , isn't that a lot easier and simpler than turning your lives (and your kids lives) upside down and getting divorced???
11 AnswersMarriage & Divorce6 years agoWHY IN THE WORLD would city officials let the Chargers leave San Diego?
I will admit that I am having a hard time convincing my fellow Charger fans NOT to worry about the team moving to Los Angeles to share a stadium with the Raiders! Never before has a move seemed more possible than it is today. And with Rivers already saying he will NOT renew his contract with the Chargers if they leave, it makes 2016 look even more dismal!
So what is the problem with city officials in San Diego? Do they not understand how much revenue a new stadium in downtown would bring to the city? Every hotel, every restaurant, every bar, and every parking lot will be PACKED the entire weekend whenever there is a game. We're talking thousands of jobs and tens of millions in revenue. Not to mention the revenue generated if and when San Diego is chosen to host another Super Bowl! So why would the City Of San Diego allow the Chargers to leave San Diego without a fight?
8 AnswersFootball (American)6 years agoAre the Chargers REALLY going to move to LA after the 2015 regular season?
Do you REALLY think the Chargers will move to LA and share a stadium with their most hated rivals? All signs are indicating that it's becoming more and more of a reality, and not just a fantasy. But do you think it will really happen? And if they go, how many fans (like me) will refuse to follow them? How many players (like Philip Rivers) won't go with them either?
2 AnswersFootball (American)6 years agoIs THIS pretty much how liberals and democrats see things?
Democrat controlled Senate + Democrat controlled House + Bush = All Bush's fault
Democrat controlled Senate + Democrat controlled House + Obama = All Bush's fault
Democrat controlled Senate + Republican controlled House + Obama = House Republicans fault
Republican controlled Senate + Republican controlled House + Obama = Congress' fault
Anybody else see a pattern here of who liberals and democrats like to blame no matter WHO is in charge or running the show?
7 AnswersPolitics6 years agoHow to report and get rid of people using your name for emails?
My old yahoo email was hacked. Spam was being sent to EVERYBODY in my contact list. I have since deleted the email account and closed it out. But now I am getting emails from other email addresses with MY name. So now it's likely that my REAL emails to friends and customers are ending up in spam folders!
How do I get rid of these emails? How can I report them? Have them shut down? How can I keep spam-bots from using MY NAME to create email accounts and sending emails out pretending to be me?
