Just an everyday kinda guy. Married,happy and trying to make something more of myself and the world around me. I love sports,music,good food and a good laugh. I'm a hard working blue collar man and I think people should always be held accountable for their actions...including myself. I'm definitely not perfect so I never understand when people try to be. Be true to yourself and those you surround yourself with .
What is the maximum amount of regular hours allowed in a bi-monthly pay period?
A buddy is trying to figure this out because he feels like he was cheated out of O.T. since he had 97.88 regular hours. I found it strange & I'm having difficulty finding a legit answer.
Thank you
2 AnswersPersonal Finance1 decade agoShould the government stay out of abortion cases since....?
Should the government stay out of abortion cases since it's a problem anti-health care people have w/ the current plan on the table?
(They don't want the government in their business)
And I'm not saying I personally lean one way or another I am just curious since this is such an issue w/ the same people who oppose government run health care( what medicare is but whatever..lol)
Oh & let's try to be civil here people!
2 AnswersLaw & Ethics1 decade agoSen. Barack Obama's decision to forgo public financing for his presidential campaign ...thoughts?
Fact: He never really tried to "aggressively pursue" an agreement. (He's been the presumptive nominee for less than two weeks, and he never had the promised private meeting with McCain.)
Also,he pledged last year to accept public financing if his opponent did as well & McCain never did until after Obama announced his plans though it was widely known he would weeks prior!
My real question is what's up w/ the spin here...? Can anyone give me a legit answer as to why the lies are flying...because as stated above, Obama put out the proposal on handling this & McCain did nothing now all of a sudden Obama is a bad guy!...for real,how many can say w/ honesty you actually contribute to this fund in the 1st place!
18 AnswersElections1 decade agoI believe alot of people are mis-informed about Obama I think more people should find truer sources about him?
http://news.yahoo.com/s/bloomberg/20080607/pl_bloo...
This is just a short article from yahoo talkin about the 1st's if he becomes president...there is a part that list some of his experience....He may have only been in the senate for 3/4 yrs. but his experience goes back way further than that.
7 AnswersElections1 decade agoI'm looking to head back to college but w/ the economy the way it is I feel I may need some help..any ideas!

2 AnswersFinancial Aid1 decade agoWhat do you think we'll find on Mars?
Any signs or forms of life,water,signs of an old race?
9 AnswersAstronomy & Space1 decade agoCould mankind build a suitable spacecraft in 50yrs to escape earth if need be?
Let's say we discovered an asteroid headed for earth & we had 50yrs to find a way to survive...could we build a spacecraft(multiple ones) suitable enough to transport millions of people or figure something else out or would we go the way of the dinosaur? (I know this is all hypathetical but its a legit question)
6 AnswersAstronomy & Space1 decade agoWhat proof do people have to accuse Mr. Obama of being Muslim?(or a closet one!)?
I've read alot & I've read alot of posts in which people accuse Mr. Obama of being Muslim. I've seen no proof to this being true but it's still floating around out there, so I would love to see this proof!
Also I'd just like to point out that because of his name IS NOT proof enough.
10 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoWhat impact will Obama have on the African American community if elected US president?
I think it could have a positive impact & HOPEFULLY begin to change the garbage that goes on in our inner cities. Translating into a change in thinking & maybe a change in world view.
9 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoWhy is race still an issue in the US & why can't we seriously try to change it?
Let's try not to get to crazy w/ this question people..let's be civil here!
12 AnswersOther - Cultures & Groups1 decade agoIf hate & racism actually keep Obama from winning in November how will the U.S look in a world view?
I've seen alot of reports stating that race was an issue for some people....so I wanted to put the question out there though I'm sure it's been posted before.
9 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoAnother approach to helping S. Cali & dealing w/ the war-for Scrappy52-?
"I" call the war in Iraq BS because of how it all began and because I strongly feel our government has lied to us about the facts. I understand and realize we should be there but I think initially it should have been under different circumstances. So maybe my question should have been...When do we begin to truly focus on America instead of fixing the world or better yet let's just try to make sure the tax paying people of our great nation are taken care of in times of crisis regardless of Race, creed & how much $$$ they have and anything else we find ways to seperate ourselves from eachother.
I'd just really like to see our gov. make sure things don't get out of whack like Katrina...(and I don't want to even begin to compare the 2)
1 AnswerCurrent Events1 decade agoW/ fires engulfing S.Cali how can the president justify trying 2 get billions for the war in Iraq still?
These fires are going to cost so much in reconstruction. One of our largest states is going to need so much help so again how can our government justify still asking for billions to fight this BS war?
13 AnswersCurrent Events1 decade agoWhat can we do to change the American peoples way of thinking and help us all not to be so complacent?
I've done volunteer work and other sorts of things to give back to those around me. I don't consider myself to be anyone great,but I see everything that goes on around me in this world and its sickening. I look for ways to help everyday so now I want to hear what others have to say because I think right now its not a race to save America its a race to start to save humanity from itself. (in no way is this meant to be corny..just being straight up)
9 AnswersLesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender1 decade agoWhy haven't we as a nation taken government back into our own hands?
With so much corruption and scandal it becomes clearer to me that we as a nation must begin to use the constitution and take back our government. The criminals we have in place (current administration) have shown me that this is completely necessary. Until the people can rise up and begin to be more involved and hold the government directly accountable for EVERYTHING we will not be able to accomplish anything.
