  • Why does United States view the Taliban as a terrorist organization?

    I was going over some notes for my global affairs final and i was looking at the relations between US and Taliban. There was really no conflict until 9/11, and the conflict was that the Taliban refused to give location of Al Qaeda because the US failed to give them evidence for their allegations against Al Qaeda. Was that really enough for the US to designate them as a terrorist organization (especially after sharing some ideals e.g. war on drugs)? or am i missing something additional in my notes that may make it clearer? thanks

  • What bothers me about American values.?

    Everyone seems to worry about retirement and social security in the US. Lets face it, social security is a a failed system. What I don't get is why we treat retirement like its the most impossible thing in the world. But if people retire, they wont make money, meaning they wont be able to support themselves, so without a social security system, who's going to take care of the retirees?

    Well I have another question, who takes care of babies and children until they become 18? That's easy, the parents. So why can't it be the other way around? If your parents took care of you for at least 18 years, why do us, Americans, have to create a failing system that's bankrupting our country just so that it can take care of our parents. I understand that not every couple has kids, but if the couples that did have kids and the social security was limited to those who didn't it wouldn't suck as much.

    I just want your feedback on this outrageous idea, and want to know why this can't work.

  • How unhealthy is it to have a piece of pencil lead (granite) stuck in you finger for over 2 years?

    I forgot how it happened, but one time in class I got a piece of pencil lead stuck in my thumb. It went in pretty deep and I tried to take it out with tweezers. I got most of it out thinking I got the whole thing out, but a month later I noticed a small black dot deep in my thumb. Its been over two years and it hasn't really dissolved or attempted to come out by itself, is it harmful to have granite #2 lead in you body over long periods of time. If its not really life threatening then I guess I'll just leave it be.

    Thanks for any contributions.

  • which electric bass is the best offer? (need help from bass players and experts)?

    I'm left handed, so its really difficult to find a bass for me. I'm a beginner at playing the bass, so which one of these are the best buy for me?

    Ibanez GSRM20BKL Mikro Lefty Electric Bass Guitar

    Rogue LX200BL Left-Handed Series II Bass

    Dean Playmate Edge 09 Left Handed 4-String Bass

    http://www.wwbw.com/Dean-Playmate-Edge-09-Left-Han...

    I've heard many good things about Ibanez, I'm attracted to the price Rogue has to offer, and I don't know much about dean. Can you guys please look at the links and see the details on the basses and according to their prices tell me which one is offering the best price for what their selling.

    What exactly are pick ups? and is it better for a beginner to have only one or two?

    When i search for basses, what type of details am i supposed to be looking for?

    can you please give me an analysis on each bass, thanks
