Question #1:

There is no class warfare in the United States? Really?

Click Here

according to this article there is,

At the bottom of the workforce we've got 31% unemployment with over 5 million jobs being lost to outsourcing and mechanization...
While in the top bracket (those earning 150k and more) unemployment sits cheerily at 3%,, also the ranks of Millionaires grew by double digit percentile points in 2009 ?

Lots of talk about self responsibility in here... but that usually stops at the bank account. Lets hear it from all you Millionaires (LOL) It's the poor's own fault for being poor...right ?

and if so.. is that not class-ism ?
really? millionaires work harder than anyone else? lol
you obviously don't know any single mothers with two jobs ...

or recently laid off factory workers...
I love when the "workers" of Yahoo show up on my questions...

The rich pay much less than their fair share in this nation and many who hide behind LLC's and the like pay no Tax at all...

screw the rich , screw you... The revolution cometh and your heads will be on posts to remind us of what the rich are really good for...

Question #2:

Will Employers Hire You If You are Pregnant?

I am 7 months pregnant, and I am employed. However, the position I hold is something that stresses me out and is not conducive to a healthy pregnancy. I am currently in the market for a new job, but I am seven months pregnant and will soon be out of work for a couple of months. I know most people will say just wait until the two months is over, but the position Im in is really a bad environment and I don't want to work there anymore. Please don't answer with comments about the economy or why I should stay in my position, as I am aware of the economic situation. Please just answer my question only. Thank you.
thanks everyone for their answers. I appreciate it. Also, I can't get unemployment because you have to be willing and able to work and you have to be looking for work. So if you're willing and able to work then you'll be able to get it IF...and this is a big IF, your employer chooses pay the unemployment, which the company can decided not to if they want.

Question #8:

My fellow Americans: Is this really animal cruelty, all things considered?

People here have been outraged by the discovery of a couple of butcheries where horses are slaughtered for meat. Apparently there is quite a market for it in Europe, France in particular. Some shudder at the very thought of eating horse, but I have tried it and found it to be more lean than beef and not at all bad tasting.

Aside from the argument that it is cruel to slaughter any animal for meat, insofar as we do and will continue to slaughter millions of other animals every year for consumption, how is it made worse by including horse into our "food chain?" Should they be off limits? If so, why?

Question #9:

Why start a business here in America when Canada has lower corporate taxes and fewer regulations?

If I'm gonna start a business and put people to work I'd be better off in Canada/Australia/New Zealand or at least listing on a Canadian or Australian stock exchange. America's economy is too regulated to be considered a free market anymore. Thank you GWB and Barry.

Question #11:

Why is the Wall Street Journal reporting liberal lies like they were news?

The front page of today's issue of Pravda has two main headlines above the fold:

"Credit Market Springs to Life"

"Arrests Force Taliban Flight"

We all know that liberals are destroying the economy, therefore the Credit Market can't "spring to life" with Obama in charge.

We all know that liberals actually going after terrorists in Pakistan is a bad thing, therefore capturing Afghan militants in Pakistan can't possibly "force Taliban flight." Like John McCain told us, attacking the terrorists in Pakistan can't work, if they get to Pakistan they can't do us harm.

Is the Wall Street Journal just another socialist rag now, lying about what we all know the TRUTH to be?
Ted Kennedy's Car - I did read the article (you however apparently did not). I quote from the SECOND sentence:

"In the US, bonds sales by companies such as Bank of America Corp. and GMAC Financial Services are on pace to conclude their busiest week since the beginning of the year."

Last I checked BOA and GMAC don't qualify as "small" or "regional."

Question #12:

Anyone have advice for drywall priming?

I have been reading a TON of information about priming bare drywall. Most sources say for a smooth wall you should sand or at least spot sand after the first coat of primer.

Here are some questions if anyone can answer some. Lets begin!
1) What's the best way to remove drywall dust? I have read about using brooms, dry swiffer dusters, wet sponges, tack cloths. ( I would like to avoid the wet sponge route )
2) Should I sand after the first or second coat of primer? I know I don't "have" to sand, but I want smooth walls.
3) Is it advisable to spot sand after priming or plan on sanding the entire wall?
4) Is there a primer on the market that prevents the "drywall fuzzies", or a primer that dries smooth without sanding?
5) If I must sand, is a pole sander easy to use? We have new drywall in practically the entire house.

Any other advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks!

Question #13:

Grade my essay please?

I know my teacher is gonna grade it anyways, but I only have one shot at this. It's for AP American history, so it has to be like perfect. Constructive criticism is appreciated and thanks for reading I know it's very boring! And whoever can steel themselves into reading this I definitely admire you :)


What caused the Roaring Twenties to come to a grinding halt? Analyze the events of the 1920s that contributed to the demise of the American economy, using economic, social and political variables.

The 1920s were a decade of economic prosperity. The employment rate was high, and the productivity rate was soaring due to new technological advancements. Globally, the United States was extending it's power across the world and establishing itself firmly in the global market. However, the country was unconsciously setting itself up for economic doom. Consumers, bolstered by the new availability of loans and slower payments from companies, were making purchases that cost many times their regular salary, resulting in a doubling of installment debt throughout the country. Factories were producing more than could actually be afforded by their low-cost employees, and due to an originally successful high tariff, the United States began a global tariff war in which it quickly became the center. Extremely high productivity rates, severe political mistakes, income inequality and nation-wide loans were the leading causes to the demise of the American economy.

During World War I, farmers were both encouraged to and assisted in increasing crop production. European nations looked to the US for food, and farmers found themselves gaining a steady income. However, after the war, that government assistance was snatched away, leaving farmers with debt that could no longer be paid off easily. This forced them to plant more cash crops, leading to a surplus of wheat on the market, driving prices down and impelling farmers to plant even more crops for the next year. A similar problem was occurring in factories. In an effort to match popular demand, factories produced an increasing amount of consumer goods. Factory output soared with the utilization of new machines and techniques designed to increase production, while employee wages did not rise any higher. Demand could not keep up with supply, and as a result the price of goods collapsed. Overproduction led to a severely damaged economy leading up to the Great Depression.

President Herbert Hoover and his administration simply downplayed the depression in the beginning, and assured citizens that they were only facing a temporary slump in the economy. They claimed that it would actually clean up the current corrupted practices within the system. However, when the economy continued to fail, Hoover declared the government would play a strict laissez-faire, or hands-off policy, stating that the government should not interfere with the economy, but instead let it right itself. He advised American citizens to practice self-reliance and work hard. In addition to his inaction, Hoover approved the Smooth-Hawley tariff, which pulled the average tariff rate for imported goods up nearly sixty percent. This was intended to protect American goods and businesses, but the main result was retaliation from foreign nations, who ceased to buy American products. US producers were desperate for any sales at all, and were severely hurt by this move. Political practices not only failed to aid American citizens during the recession, but actually added to the accumulating disasters.

By the late 1920s, income inequality was more severe than in any other time in U.S. history. More than a third of all the nation's wealth was owned by the top one percent of Americans, while the poorest twenty percent were forced to make do with only four percent of it. Very few Americans were incredibly wealthy, whereas the vast majority were in poverty or barely above poverty. There was practically no middle class, and this giant difference in classes added more difficulty to the plummeting economy. On top of this, Americans had begun making purchases on credit since the beginning of the century, agreeing to pay for their items later rather than up front. When the economy began to fall, these same people found themselves unable to pay up, and creditors were left to absorb millions of dollars in faulty loans. In addition, consumers had begun buying stocks on margin, borrowing money from a broker and then using the money they gained from their investment to pay off their debt. This led to a stock market built up on imaginary money, and eventually led to the inevitable crash of the stock market.

The crash of the stock market marked the end of the prosperous nineteen twenties. In an ironic twist, the economic prosperity that had afforded such glamour and technological boom during the twenties caused the greatest economic depression this country has ever seen. Consumers, politicians and businesses alike

Question #14:

gun violence in seattle?

The gun violence in the Seattle area is in a dramatic up rise. The arguments are between higher gun regulations or more intense punishments. One incident of gun violence that happened in the Seattle area that disturbed local parents was a 12 year old and a 14 year old shooting a school bus with air soft pistols. The two young teens shot the bus with two air soft pistols a little while later the bus driver called the police and explained what had happened the one of the teens already at home was later arrested at his home while he and his parents ate dinner. The first teen was arrested before he had gotten off at his stop. Many parent’s and officials believed this to be a problem with gun violence. That the two teens could possible turn into threats to society while others argued that they were boys being boys. That they weren’t actually thinking of shooting anyone but just playing around. The Ex mayor Greg Nickels used this story gun violence along with many others to push for stricter regulations to be put on guns including the ban of assault weapons in Washington state. Another case that has inspired the Ex mayor for stricter regulations was a 21 year old that had been waiting for a friend outside of juvenile center in Seattle was wounded by what was ruled to be a gang shooting. A man stepped out of a black car and fired six rounds wounding the 21 year old.
After interviewing my uncle about gun violence what he believes on how it affects us as a community. He was in the belief that gun violence has nothing to do with inadament object which was used to kill someone but the person pulling the trigger. Also that no matter how stricter of regulations you put on guns bad people will always be able to get one. All you do is make it harder for the law abiding people to get their gun. There will always be a black market dealer in guns and if the regulations for getting guns go up then the amount of black market dealers will go up because of the sharp increase of black market gun prices. His belief is that the punishment that is given to the man pulling the trigger should be higher not the regulations for the honest people. Gun violence may have gone up but it’s not only the gun violence that has gone up but all crime rates in general have gone up.
Why the mayor asked for Washington to pass more regulations on gun control. Those being state wide assault weapons ban. Mandatory trigger locks. Improve sharing of gun-trace information. End to gun show loophole. Washington turned down the mayor after gun rights spokes person's fought the laws. If they were to put higher regulations on gun control and make it almost impossible to get a gun would it really stop gun violence or would it just increase. Could officials get rid of all the black market gun dealers? Or would they just cause more people to be defenseless? In my conclusion I believe that if the regulations were passed the gun violence would still rise. I think this is a feeble attempt to encourage people that something is being done. When they should just make gun crimes have stricter punishment.

Question #15:

Is Camden market in London a safe place?

Me and 4 of my friends are going there soon. We are all 16 and are all girls, do you think we will be safe there? x

Question #16:

Why did it say my computer's slow when I have the newest operating system?

I was playing a game on a web site, and it told me my computer was slow. This made me angry, b/c I have the most up-to-date operating system on the market for the computer I use.
I use Mac Mini w/ Snow Leopard operating system and Mozilla, the one just before 3.6.
How do I get my computer to go fast enough to please the game's apparent speed demon preferences?
The game is Zoo World on Facebook.
Macintosh had a gaming environment before freakin' PC's did. Macintosh had the DESKTOP environment, in which you could see icons (pictures)-like you NEED to see in a gaming environment-before PC.
So I don't wanna hear anymore BS about my choice of computers.

Question #17:

Would you buy my cosmetics? Can you suggest a name for them?

They work by quasi-sporadic hypno-combobulative transmutation of the beta gamma "X" particulate into a sub-cosmological lepto-frasmodic miasma, which makes as much sense as most marketing claims I've seen.
The slight ageing you see in my profile photo is just a minor side effect of a different experiment. Do not worry this wouldn't happen if you bought my product.
What should I call it?

Question #18:

Why Do we Even Need Insurance Reform? Who stands To Profit From Reform?

Only the US worker stands to benefit from reform
8 -- that's the number of people EVERY MINUTE who are denied coverage, charged a higher rate or otherwise discriminated against because of a pre-existing condition.1

8 is also the number of lobbyists hired by special interests to influence health reform for every member of Congress in 2009.2

The facts speak for themselves -- the status quo isn't working, and special interests are doing everything in their power to maintain that status quo. insurance-industry lobbyists gathered at the D.C. Ritz-Carlton to stage a last-minute blitz to block reform -- even as they jack up premiums by as much as 60% for small businesses and families across the country. How can America Compete on the world market when US employers spend on average $13,000 per year PER EMPLOYEE to offer heath care coverage and that $$ will Go Up every year . How do you think the insurance Co. can afford to spend $200,000,000 on TV ads and $84,000,000 to assign 8 lobbyists to every member of congress? Yet there are those who believe the ads They hate Obama so much they are willing to fight against what is best for their own families. Question: When Reform finally passes, Will those who were fighting so hard to stop it ,fight just as hard to keep it?

Question #19:

Why did Ronny Reagan reverse Anti-Trust legislation and promote the resurgence of Monopolies in America?

Isn't it better to have competition and independant small businesses instead of huge multinational corporate conglomerates running our "free" market?
Well, that's a lot of nice insults, neocons, now, can you answer the question?
What was Ronny trying to accomplish by reversing Anti-Trust legislation??????

Question #20:
