From my thinking, conservatives are hung up on having the 2nd amendment be the most sacred of all rights we have. That way they can protect their freedoms from an oppressive government. But yet they support a huge military that would easily vanquish any citizen trying to stand up for their rights.

After all, conservatives are pro gun and liberals are anti-gun. Therefore it wouldn't make any sense for a liberal to have a gun to commit a crime with it.

Let's say I live now. I find a way to travel back to 1940. I meet some people through my travels and become friends. I leave that time and immediately return to my own time. Now my question is this. Is it accurate to say that the people whom I made friends with in 1940 would know who I am as I grow up, but I won't know who they are until I reach the time in my life that I go back and meet them? So they would perhaps be 90 years old current time as I would be whatever age I was when I time travelled. So if I wanted to see them again in current time, I would have instantaneous satisfaction and they would have to live the many years waiting for the time to come that I met them back in the past and then returned in order for me to know them. Correct?

just a hypothetical

Originally we were told we were going to be able to keep our original insurance plans if we liked. But in the beginning if 2013, I was told that I was going to lose my plan because I wasn't on it prior to a certain date. At the end of 2013, I was informed I would be able to keep it extended through 2014. Recently I was told now I would be able to keep it through 2015 and most likely 2016. Does this mean all the problems were fixed?

My daughter is 3 now and she does this thing when she gets excited where she opens her mouth really wide and tenses up. Also accompanied by arms raised in like a tense bicep flex pose. She has done this since she was little. Does anyone know what is going on? I imagine that her body cannot process the stimulus that makes her excited and that's the way she handles it. We talked to her pediatrician about it and she doesn't think it has anything to do with Tourette's. But I wonder if anyone has seen or experienced this before and can shed some light on this behavior. Thanks

Our government is broken because of partisan politics. But worse than the actual politicians being bipartisan, is the voters. We as citizens need to be united against a poor, ineffective government. But we are at each other's throats worse than anything. As long as we cannot fix the government, the politicians will continue to worry about one thing, and that is to get rich. I see hundreds of posts on answers.yahoo political section and its right vs left. Democrat vs republican. Liberal vs conservative. Don't you people see that is exactly what our corrupt government wants? We don't have control over anything. All the control resides with lobbyists and special interest groups. As long as we stay divided amongst ourselves, we will never fix the problems of our country. I have suspicions that our government uses the biased and partisan media to feed into weak minded individuals to keep them from seeing what is truly happening. Brothers and sisters!! I implore you to think for yourselves. We need to change the system. But we have to change first. I'm not hating on any particular group. I want people to wake up and realize that your politicians don't care about you. Democrat and republican. They are both the same. Nothing changes. They just flip it, spin it and call it their own, or blame it on the other party. Its obvious to freethinkers, but to staunch party liners, there is a big difference. Stop the division..unite unite unite!!!!

I have much contact with foreign people and have heard on multiple occasions that Americans are viewed as a joke, or in a negative light. I wonder why. I have always maintained that people should be judged on their own merits and faults and not based upon stereotypes. Is it because of the American governments recent policies? If so that would be even worse, because if that were the case, all German citizens should be tried for war crimes because nazi germs u killed millions of people. So for me to be looked down upon because of what my government does, is ignorant. If anyone had any knowledge about how the United States' government works, they would understand that the citizens have really nothing to do with national policies.

I just saw it and would like others feedback from whom have seen it. Particularly thoughts on the ending. Thanks..

I remember when i was in high school in the early 90s. Everyone in town would cruise up and down Main Street every Friday and Saturday night. Go to Sonic drive up, or McDonald's or Dairy Queen. It was a fun way to spend the weekend and show off your ride, and your girl if you had them. Granted it was a small town. But now i live in a metro city and i just don't see that type of thing going on anymore. Is it a city thing? Does it have to so with the cost of gas? I really thought it was an awesome time and it harkened back to the 50s. I definitely think our country needs a heavy dose if nostalgia. If it is going on, how does one find out?

Let's say one of these musicians wrote a "love" song about pursuing a girl they were in love with. But it was super stalkery...i.e. Watching through windows and following and creepy texts etc. could it still become a top song?

You dont need a public safety insurance card to call the police, or a fire insurance card to call the fire department if your house is on fire. But you need one for medical care. When you break it down to basics...it all seems really f'n foolish.

The best way to make a connection, or bond with someone is not sharing of common likes. Its the sharing of common dislikes. For example....if you meet a girl and you want to connect with her, try to find something in common you both dislike. Two people that both dislike Obama, will have a stronger bond than two people that both like Obama. Furthermore, the depth of the connection will depend on how unlikely the commonality runs. If you both dislike rain..thats pretty common. But if you both dislike pizza, or bill o'reilly, that could be significant.

Why yes I would! How did you know my name is phones?
