Do you think the USA should pull out of the war? Why or Why not?

CallMeDaddy @CallMeDaddy (535) • United States 25 Jan 07

soccio97 You make all of the obvious points. If we pull out we look weak and if we stay more people die. Well my feeling is we should stay and finsih the job. However, that does not mean until every bad guy in Iraq is gone, because that will never happen. We do need to...

soccio97 If you cannot find an updated will everything will be divided according to the old one. If it's really a major concern (I personally don't have any interest in dividing up my Mothers things) then one or more of the executors need to go see the lawyer and get...

Do you believe what you're told by the media?

angelicEmu @angelicEmu (1311) 20 Jan 07

As I'm sure most people are aware, all media companies always have their own agenda, their own angle, and nowadays try to get their own message across more and more. So my question is this: how do you interpret the news you see on...

soccio97 Let's face it the news media only wants to sell papers or get viewers to watch their TV shows or web sites. If it is not attracting the public then it is not news. How much "good" news do you see in the media from day to day? Oh sure they tease you with the...

soccio97 It is a good idea. However, it is extremely difficult to determine a teachers ability based on the pass/fail rate of the children she teaches. There are just too many variables from school to school as well as class to class. Some schools have all the tools...
