...and the pain in neck

We hear news daily of crimes committed in the name of hate towards specific racial/cultural groups, but we rarely hear news concerning violent acts committed against those groups (kkk, skinheads, neo-nazis etc...) which proudly stand for hate and racism. Is hate justifiable if directed towards such groups? Is aggressive action justifiable if directed towards those who base there very existence on hatred and the suffering of others? Is there a loophole in morality when dealing with those who are ignorant beyond the point of reformation? Would a group of individuals, who belonged to no racial or cultural order, dedicated to the elimination of such hate groups by any means, be just as despicable?

Say I'm stranded in England, Bristol area, and I don't have money for air fair back to the states (New York). For the last 2 months I have picked up odd jobs to keep me afloat, enough for room and board etc... what would the English officials do if they caught onto me. Send me back to the states on their expense? Turn me over to the American embassy? Put me in Jail?

I was just mistaken for a priest by the name of Father James. A woman approached me and said "Oh Father James, so nice to see you...) and then quickly started introducing me to her family. She seamed excited and i couldn't get a word in edge-wise, so I went along with it for 5 min. Would you have interrupted her and told her your real name, or just gone with the flow... no harm no fowl?

The last few days, the scent of, mmm... maple sausage, has been permeating my apartment. No one lives adjacent to me, it's a small loft, little house... my neighbors are 30 yards away, at least. It's only obvious after 2am... not really sure where I'm going with this, but damn it smells good. lol

It is fairly obvious that Obama has buttoned up this election, but you never know really, America loves surprises. Either way, the next Four years is going to go by very quickly, any predictions concerning the 2012 presidential campaign? Be creative here, it's all in good fun.

Best punch line that involves O.J., Obama, McCain, or Alyssa Milano wins.

This isn't a religious question, if you don't believe in God, just pretend.

I've always wanted to jump the pond, get out of the US for a while (maybe indefinitely) I'd like to live in a smaller city or town, I'm a bartender and bookseller by trade, but of course any service job would do. Is there an area that might be known for a substantial ex-patriot population? Where the best place to start looking if i'm looking for a small city, large town type of place... is it reasonable to think this is even possible?

I'm pretty good at finding lost golf balls, missing jewelry, runaway pets, of course spying on people (which is not as much fun as you might think), i stay away from finding lost or kidnapped people, far too depressing... any ideas?

To start, I live alone. When I come home it feels like I am walking into a crowded room, not in a bad way, just ....busy, it's like the feeling you might get when a dozen people are trying to ask you different questions at the same time. What are your thoughts on this phenomenon?

All the questions asked on yahoo, can be, or are answered before the question is asked... or, any question can be answered by searching online...in like 2 minutes.... aside from the fun of answering questions, what's the point? i think it's a trap.

If i want to read the closest interpretation of the scriptures that may have been read, say, 1,000 years ago, before political influance, which version should i read?

We know that our thoughts effect our everyday lives, but how is our current state of existence effected by the imagination of our ancestors? My feelings are that all we know exists as a result of someone's fantasy...loosely stated. All we can imagine today has the potential to exist in the future. Do we manifest products of our imagination by the moment without realizing it?etc..
