Please make sure you back up your answers folks.

U.S. authorities had punished the employee of the Army and Air Force base, by suspending his driver's license for a five-year period.

Is this a fair punishment? If an American drinks, drives, and kills an American pedestrian in the US, do they simply get their drivers licence suspended?

Please tell me what you think: Fair or not fair?

Okay, first off, I'm not in the USA, so don't be telling me to get out and go home. Second, I ain't trolling.

I read an article today on Yahoo News about "McDonald's recalls 12 million 'Shrek'-themed glasses containing cadmium in paint job that are MADE in USA".

So my question is, a few years ago, China got hit hard when some of them toys had traces of lead in their paint and got blasted for it. I'm interested to see how the Americans themselves see this piece of news about toys made in the USA that are tainted with Cadmium (also poisonous to humans).

And yes, I do understand it's only trace amounts, but that is the same with the Chinese made toys a few years ago, they had trace amounts of lead, and not all toys had it.

Again, what do you think about USA made toys laced with poisonous paint? Is the World being too sensitive to things? Or....

So US YA people, care to share your thoughts?

So, the United States is the undisputed superpower of the World.

With all her technology and money, how come they aren't stopping the BP oil spill? Is it because they are trying to salvage the well for future use?

Selfish Americans, always saying China pollutes! When they are dumping millions of tonnes of OIL into the Ocean.

Hello everyone,

If you live in Toronto and ride a scooter to work, can you please let me know how it is?

I drive a 2005 Yamaha Vino Classic and work at College St and University Ave.

Is it safe?

Do you get vandalism or theft of parts etc?

Any parking tickets?

Input on where are the best places to park would be appreciated as well. Thanks in advance

Thanks

Please do not get defensive. No offense meant. I just want to hear your opinion on what's going on in Greece, how the World is treating it and reporting about it, and how you feel.

Thank you in advance.

First, this is not a low-blow attempt. It is not anti-American b.s. Alternatively, if you don't like foreigners asking questions about USA, then just ignore my question and move on.

If the USA has such a big deficit, why do they still spend so much on Military? More than the top 10 runner ups combined. I am sure a lot of those military assets are wasted.

For example; why does one need 10 aircraft carriers when 3 will do? Why does one need 10000 battle tanks, when only 100 are actually used?

Obviously my examples are conjured up, but you get my point.

Is spending 2 or 3 times more then the top 3 runner up nations enough?

Constructive comments, questions, suggestions, all welcome. Just nothing racist please.

They are always trying to employ "Divide and Conquer" on us.

That's what we've learned. And whenever they have something to say, we take it with a grain of salt.

Hi,

I would like to hear feedback/opinions/comments from Indians who know about India's history enough to give me some input about how British colonial imperialism affected India then and presently.

Also, how do you feel about what is happening in the Middle East? Will it spill over and affect more countries such as India? It's already affecting Pakistan.

Thanks for your responses...it's appreciated.

I live in Taiwan, I'm very pleased to hear China catch these guys from the USA. Those tires do not decompose or breakdown even after 100 years left in the ground.

I just had to ask, do Americans ever think of the dirty things they do around the world or do they only like to point fingers?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GUANGZHOU: The Chinese customs authority said it had seized more than 8,500 tonnes of highly-polluting used tires smuggled from the United States, the biggest amount in recent years.

Smugglers pretended they were importing rubber and shipped the pollutants to the coastal city of South China's Guangzhou via Hong Kong between December 2008 and February 2009, the General Administration of Customs said Thursday.

The Huangpu Customs officials in Guangzhou found in late December 366 uncleared containers of the smuggled waste at the Dongjiangkou Port, which had lain there for almost a year, said Chen Wen, an inspection department official with the customs.

Canadians seem to enjoy yelling and talking bad about China and USA (more China though). I find that annoying, very annoying. I'd like to find some answers.

They never talk about about their own country on Internet boards with such enthusiasm.

- Alberta tar sands pollution

- Torture of Afghan civilians

- Mapleleaf meat that killed 21 Canadians

- Canadian RCMP four of them, TASR to death an unarmed Polish man at Vancouver airport

- RCMP drunk driver kills someone and gets a slap on the wrist

Why are you people like that?

I live in Taipei, Taiwan. Real answers from real Canadians who are not hateful will be appreciated.

Don't get me wrong, I am not a troll. I'm just wondering how can FOUR (4) American teens think the same thing? Not one of them though this could be serious?

Any Japanese reading my post, what are your constructive thoughts. Americans, please share, do American teens in USA do stunts like this to kill people?

I am a Chinese in Taiwan...not trolling!

I'm looking for cheap tailored suits.

I've done some research and found places like Sams Tailor, David's Fashion all at Nathan Road. And G2000 and H&M HK, any other suggestions?

Any other places where I can spend $150 US to get a suit done up?

Thanks a lot in advance, I'm coming from Taipei.

Dear Yahoo! Answer users,

I want to know, what would you do if you were an Afghan citizen in Afghanistan. How would you deal with Americans invading your country? What would you do?

I'd like to get responses from anyone. Doesn't matter where you are from or what color you are. Just answer what you would do if you were them.

Congrats, if you did. What did you buy? how many shares?

I bought:

1500 WFC at $7-8 range

600 BNI at $50-70 range

1000 USG at $5 - 9 range

1000 AXP at $11 - $15

Do you think this rally is sustainable? Please include some comments about your outlook for rest of 2009 and 2010. Thanks

Yes, I know the shells are powerful, but the residue is deadly. Not just to the marines who use it, but also the civilians!

Why is it still being used despite the bans, and inquiries?

Are they welcomed by the Japanese?

I hear they commit a lot of crimes.

Why does America use kiddy gloves to fight Afghanistan or Iraq?

I'm wondering because, why is it taking so long, if America used full force, they can clear up Afghan and Iraq, in a very quick succession.

American military gurus, your advice or input is valued.
