Why was Miss USA dismissed ?
Why was Carrie Prejean dismissed as Miss USA? I thought we lived in The United States of America when I woke up this morning !!! I thought everyone had the right to say they didn't like one thing or another and that is what makes us a great country. So after this decision an idiot made in America DONALD TRUMP does that mean I have to LIKE GAY PEOPLE or I am a bad person. HECK NO !!! I should have the freedom to not like them. I should also have the right to marry a woman if I so chose. The problem with society today is that everyone is open to suggestion no one believes in the bible anymore everything is okay if I don't like a chapter in the bible tear it out thats okay. HECK NO !!! Thank goodness an idiot like that hasn't been elected President of this country yet or at least I hope not. It is a sad day in AMERICAN when we can't speak out mind. That is what makes us the greatest country on earth CHOICE !!! This is AMERICA we are entitled to make our own choices and defend our thoughts and expressions. I thought the Bill of Rights gave us the right to FREE SPEECH !!! GUESS I WAS WRONG !!!! I hope Carrie Prejean will do well there are always people who aren't gonna like you especially as pretty and smart as she is. To bad they idolize a person like Shanna Moakler who poses in NUDE MAGAZINES what an idiot and trashy person. No matter how pretty she is now she will wrinkle and gravity will take hold NO ONE wants to see her back on these pageants. SHE is a RACIST herself and hipocrate if she doesn't believe that CARRIE PREJEAN can have her own thought process and prefer MEN TO WOMEN it should be her CHOICE here in AMERICA. I do not remember the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE saying that you have to like STRAIGHT PEOPLE or GAY PEOPLE !!! If you can find where it says that please let me know.
6 AnswersLaw & Ethics1 decade agoWhat does it take to meet a nice girl these days? It is so hard to find a girl without children or divorced.?
Every where I look I see women with children. Divorced !!! I look all around and meet women but they always have baggage. They always have kids, been divorced, or have kids without being married. I have never been married, have no kids, and want my own kids not someone elses. I don't think I am being selfish having waited to get ahead in life in business and being well set before marriage. I am just having trouble finding a nice girl. Any recommendations as where I might find a half way decent girl. I just want someone I can grow old with age doesn't matter so I don't mind dating someone 10 to 15 years younger I have already. I actually get pretty great reception from younger girls but again some of those have kids already and young !!! WHAT GIVES ????
7 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoWhy is it so hard to find a nice girl? I am 36 years old, educated, successful and can't find a nice girl.?
I have spent my life doing business and high level transactions. I find that as I get older I would really like to meet Miss Right. The problem is everytime I see a beautiful, sweet, and really nice girl they are always dating a loser. What gives ? I am thinking of going back to Law School or get an Executive MBA from a top school. Since I don't seem to be meeting anyone to really date. Guess a little more education would not hurt. I go to weddings, dancing with friends and stuff but it seems that the more we go to these things I am the only single guy at the events usually. I'm not bad looking a lot of girls have told me I am very attractive so why can't I meet a nice girl to date. Anyone who could give some good advice it would be greatly appreciated.
7 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoWhat is the best way to go about paying for an Executive MBA degree that costs $ 67,500. ?

I will be working full time and can afford some of the payment but should I get private loans, stafford loans, graduate plus loans, etc.... ? I would greatly appreciate it.
5 AnswersFinancial Aid1 decade agoU.S. Mortgage Crisis ?
I want to know with such educated scholars running the Federal Reserve and the banking industry who is going to PRISON for this ? This started out way before George Bush got into office and any educated person that has seen American history in the last 25 years knows that. It had to have started in the Clinton administration or before. Things don't just careen out of control with the economy that fast in a nation or economy this large especially the largest one on earth. Back in the early 1980's we had a mortgage melt down when the oil business went south also, ANYONE REMEMBER that? History repeating itself. There has to be people who were getting rich giving out ARM loans out to people without verifiying their income or if they could give their payments should something like rates go up arise. Tell me companies weren't that STUPID to say hey this guy makes $ 50,000 a year in income and we are financing a $ 500,000 home for him with 3 % down payment. That makes no sense. Look at poor LAS VEGAS or CALIFORNIA housing markets how can people lose 50% of their home values overnight. They were way overpriced for the market when they were selling them. They should hold the banks, realtors, and regulators liable for this. They should be sentenced to anywhere from 5 to 50 years MINIMUM for leaving the devastation of the American people in the housing market. They should also be financially held accountable to return any money they made of these poor ignorant less educated people it just isn't fair. There has to be rules and laws inacted to protect the less educated or people who just do not know any better. Not everyone goes to a major university or HARVARD,YALE, or STANFORD. I believe that if congress got behind a punishment phase after the bail out of these financial institutions this would have a very small chance of happening again. We should be able to finance and not worry about the rate going up in 3 years. When we bought our first home it was 15 or 30 years whichever you wanted and you knew what the fixed payment was for 360 months. No worries. What has American Finance come to today. PURE SHAMEFULNESS !!! GOD BLESS AMERICA !!!!
1 AnswerCredit1 decade agoTaking girl on double date to Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo?
Have a friend who introduced me to his cousin we all went out one night when I was visiting and we hit it off. We went dancing. Had a good time with them. His cousin is so cute, pretty, and sweet. She seems to be a really smart girl too. I am a little older than her actually quite a bit...LOL !!! Anyway I have never been married or anything and have no kids. My friend was talking to me and I told her I really like the rodeo and have some friends that are major label entertainers who perform each year there.

1 AnswerSingles & Dating1 decade agoWhy do I have so much trouble with getting a girl ?
I am successful. Nice looking guy 35 years old, college educated, and have run a Fortune 100 company and sold it in past 2 years. I have friends who say that it is because I travel and stuff but I make time to come back and go out. Sometimes girls will be cool and then treat me kind of like they aren't comfortable around me for no reason later. I am very humble and down to earth. I really would love to meet a really down to earth girl who is grounded and knows what she might want in life. I have made friends but the girls always just want to be friends in the long run. I am 6 feet tall, single, 199 pounds, athletic build, hazel eyes, and really outgoing. I really need some good advice from LADIES !!!!
3 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoI'm 35, successful, humble, and nice looking bachleor ????
I haven't had a girlfriend in a long time since college. I have dated some girls but nothing ever comes of it. I have some good friends and they try to get in the way or say stupid things when we are around the girls sometimes even though some of them are married. I don't know what it is I am 6 fee tall, 200 pounds, light complexion, muscalar build, and athletic build. I am well educated I have a bachleors degree, and masters degree from Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. I have gone from the bottom of my company to Vice President in under 18 months and run a $ 42 billion dollar company profitably and successfully until we sold out a year and a half ago. I just don't understand why I am single as single can be. I travel across the country on business and get VIP treatment everywhere I go Vegas, New York, Los Angeles, you name it. Still no action . My friend said that when we were in college a girl I really liked said she would go out with me but was intimidated.
11 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoDoes this girl have an interest in me ?
Last night I went to dinner with a friend. He was there and this girl waiting on us that we know started kind of flirting with me. I just stayed quiet and didn't say much. He asked her something and she said JOE has already won my heart and looked all glazed over in her eyes staring into mine. LOL !!! Then she said she had such a nice date the night before and kept looking over my way. I didn't pay much attention. Then she said I just love JOE he excites me everytime I see him. I still didn't pay much attention just kept eating because I didn't want her to think I was interested although I do like her. What do you girls think ????
4 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoApplying for job. Asked for W-2 Forms for 2005 and 2006 .?
I am on my 3rd interview with this company. I am suppose to fly up next week and interview and meet with everyone in the company from the President on down to the V.P's. Well I have given them my resume and we have interviewed twice. They know my accomplishment and are aware that I have excelled at everything I have done because they checked it all out already. They asked me about what kind of income I had and I told them in a round number not exact to the penny. Well in an email I got today they said to bring a copy of my resume for each person. Then they said please bring a copy of your 2005 and 2006 W-2 forms with you. I signed confidentiality papers at my last company not to disclose that kind of information along with company propietary information to anyone no matter whom. When we got our severance package and payment for a year since we sold out the company to a European conglomerate. I know by law they can't look it up because it is against the law for them to access
2 AnswersLaw & Ethics1 decade agoJob market in America?
What do you all think of the job market in America? I was a director of sales at my company which did over $ 200 million a year in sales. I built it from the ground up and it was a Fortune 100 company. We built the division and our board of directors sold us out for a huge profit. They gave us a severance package and stuff but that was a year and a half ago. I have been looking for a new job and it hasn't been that great a market for me. I went to a top teir University and did well. I am well known in my industry but for some reason haven't got a new job yet. I have offers but they aren't that great. I don't know why because I am a great candidate. I thought being really successful and all in my industry would help but it really hasn't. I am known as a gunslinger that turns businesses around and do really great financially for the companies I work with. What do you think I can do to get hired. I have had interviews but they take forever. HELP !!!
4 AnswersCorporations1 decade agoIf you run into a girl 10 months after seeing her at a dinner party and she is real excited to see you might?
Might she be interested. I ran into this girl I hadn't see in almost 10 months. She was real interested into why she hadn't see me in 10 months. She started dating someone else so I just stayed away. I travel a lot on business and stay real busy so I just didn't frequent where she worked at. I didn't know that she would notice. She made it very evident that she was single. She didn't mention the other guys name but said my EX. She made it evident that she was up for anything and wanted to know if she was going to Vegas on our annual trip that my friends and I go to every year at THE PALMS HOTEL & CASINO. She is very excited about it. Do you think I should hang around more often and try to treat her nice and stuff. I ran into her again the next 2 days at lunch in a row. She said we sure are running into each other again and again. She giggled and smiled and kept looking into my eyes. At dinner with our friends she would smile at me and wink at me she kind of made me nervou

2 AnswersFinancial Aid1 decade agoDo you think it is possible to date a 21 year old if you are a very successful businessman of 35. We get along
We get along really well. I have a great time with her and we usually just talk and dance a lot. I want to take my time with her. No hurry or rushing into anything. I travel across the country on business about 70% of the time therefore my time is limited and she understands that. I really do like dancing with her she is so graceful and nice. It's rare to find someone I get along with and enjoy their company so much. We can talk about nothing for hours and still feel like we just met 20 minutes ago. Weird I have never felt this close to anyone.
31 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoIf you had the finances and could get accepted where would you go VANDERBILT or STANFORD LAW SCHOOLS?
I have been really successful in the energy business over the last 7 years. My company sold out and I took a package. Then I successfully invested in some natural gas wells and they hit big with long term reserves. I have been thinking lately about law school or an Executive M.B.A.. I think that you can never have to much education and it couldn't hurt to get another degree. I was very highly stressed as a young Vice President at a Fortune 100 company at 30 years old and when we finally sold out when I was 34 last year I was really ready for a vacation. Since then I have done some relaxing traveling and am ready for a new challenge. I would really appreciate some advice from someone who may have a good word of advice.
