  3. Resolved Question: Is this a good essay and 1st paragraph and thesis?
    4. 17 Feb 2008 at 12:34am
    The education of a human being begins at birth and continues throughout his or her life. Since the early 1980's, North America has been "behind" Japan, Taiwan, and China in the subjects of math and science. As a result, America's competence in mathematics, science, and technology is at great risk. We should have math, science, and reading homework beginning in kindergarten because children need to face challenges at an early age. Our expectations for our children should be much higher(Bempechat 501). . According to statistics, the North American education system lacks a firm background in mathematics and science, thus school systems in these areas should challenge students to a higher degree. For a high school student, self esteem is essential.


  4. Resolved Question: Butcher...?
    5. 16 Feb 2008 at 11:01pm
    A butcher just out of trade school, applies for and gets, a job in North- West America, skinning and cutting up the kills of local hunters. The first job he gets is to cut up a moose to put in the freezer. He finally gets the moose cut up and is putting it into bags and marking them with the contents - chops, rump steak, ribs, sirloin, etc. When he finishes with the stuff he knows, he is left with a pile of unidentifiable parts. At a loss as to what to do with them, he finally puts them all into one bag and labels them......moosellanious.

    In Montreal two years ago, A school shooting occurred, since then there have been several shootings in schools across North America and the world.

    A human being begins his or her education at the time of birth and continues throughout his or her life. Since the early 1980's, North America has been "behind" Japan, Taiwan, and China in the subjects of math and science. As a result, America's competence in mathematics, science, and technology is at great risk. Students should be required to have math, science, and reading homework beginning in kindergarten, for there is a strong necessity for students to be challenged at their highest level.

    People like "travolta" NEVER know what they are talking about and continually make fools of themselves THINKING they know, when they don't know a damned thing!! Due to the invasion of northern transplants into Florida, we no longer consider Florida to be a southern state. "travolta Stinks" - You have every right to feel the way you want to. If you don't like Texas, why don't you move to New Jersey or somewhere like that. Just be fair, that's all i'm asking for.

    like disband it would be easier eg. i hate america for all its involvement in wars everywhere and in the past, its pollution and general ignorance for anyone else if they disbanded it would be easier i'd make less enemies and america would save lives because their enemies would only attack the bad states OR maybe america could split again the North pull out of Iraq and I'd respect them and the South stay and be all ,,GRAAAGH!!! OIL!!!! HARDSHIP FOR ANYONE ELSE!!!!'' then that would be fairer *below this point is a rant* because instead of me going ,,oh i hate america'' i could just go ,,i hate texas/the South'' would'nt that be better?

    21. 16 Feb 2008 at 10:06am
    The current real issues america face will not be solved by the "hope" speeches of Obama. Infact, this guy couldnt even change his speeches last 6 months. In debates, u saw him blabering with out substance answers. Clinton may not be a perfect candidate, but this time, dont look on the charm of speeches, but look on a powerful political center which has the power to command to the world so that US will be able to fix it's problems. If Obama engage in a deal with China or India, they dont even listern. But remembe the Clinton time where they were listening to US. We need that back. Bush tried to get the nuclear deal with India. They didnt agree with US. Anybody remeber the insident of Hamas terrorist got landed in Muscat instead of Saudi Arabia because Clinton made a call to Saudi? We need that power of US president back. Hilary is popular arond the world and no one knows who Obama is. Ahemdinajad and North Koreans will laugh at him and will never care for US if Obama wins. Obama is not qualified to be a president and as someone wrote, US presidency is not for chance. bcoz u r giving the futue of a country to chance

  22. Resolved Question: Should Kosova be returned to Turkey?
    23. 16 Feb 2008 at 8:08am
    Tommorow after 600 years of ocupation Kosova is to declare independence. But Serbia is complaning that this is illegal under international law (a country can't be taken from another) and that Kosova belongs to her. Well, I agree international law is important. So shouldn't Kosova be returned to Turkey because Kosova belonged to Turkey until 1913, when it was illegally stolen and given to Serbia. Whilst we are at it...Shouldn't Serbia also be given back to Turkey as it was part of the Otoman empire until an illegal terrorist uprising stole Serbia. Shouldn't USA and India be given back to the British? Shouldn't Latin America be given back to the Spanish? Shouldn't North Africa be given back to the French? Should we reinstall the Roman empire. Or should we follow democratic law and allow the people living in that country chose where they want to live, and not imperialism RROFT KOSOVA!! eeeeee goxy. i thought kosova was your heartland. that is always serbian bla bla bla. and just now you are prepared to give it away so easily to the turks. i thought i'll never see the day:-) he he ps. You are aways on yahoo answers? Do you have a life? I feel sorry you. Now Kosova is independent what are you to do? You must find another hobby to fill up your lonely days other than Serbian propaganda on yahoo answers. btw the it's nice to hear from my bosnian serb 'friend' Sestro: you've been busy collecting points all week lol lol lol. Goodwork!! Now you have even more thumbs in your 'war' for Serbia. When all your answers get 10 thumbs each, you get a magic wish, and Japan returns to Serbian rule :p lol again

I took an online quiz tonight and we've only read up to chapter 4, but I had to find the answer in chapter 6. Additionally, one of the questions is just blatantly wrong.

    The first couple to be shown in bed together on prime time television were Fred and Wilma Flintstone. Coca-Cola was originally green. Every day more money is printed for Monopoly than the US Treasury. Hawaiian alphabet has 12 letters. Men can read smaller print than women; women can hear better.

First novel ever written on a typewriter: Tom Sawyer. The San Francisco Cable cars are the only mobile National Monuments. Each king in a deck of playing cards represents a great king from history: Spades - King David Clubs - Alexander the Great, Hearts-Charlemagne, and Diamonds - Julius Caesar. 111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321 If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle; if the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle; if the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes. Only two people signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4th, John Hancock and Charles Thomson. Most of the rest signed on August 2, but the last signature wasn't added until 5 years later. "I am." is the shortest complete sentence in the English language. The term "the whole 9 yards" came from W.W.II fighter pilots in the South Pacific. When arming their airplanes on the ground, the .50 caliber machine gun ammo belts measured exactly 27 feet, before being loaded into the fuselage. If the pilots fired all their ammo at a target, it got "the whole 9 yards." Hershey's Kisses are called that because the machine that makes them looks like it's kissing the conveyor belt. The phrase "rule of thumb" is derived from an old English law which stated that you couldn't beat your wife with anything wider than your thumb. The Eisenhower interstate system requires that one mile in every five must be straight. These straight sections are usable as airstrips in times of war or other emergencies.

Bubas then landed the head coaching position at Duke University in 1959 where he led the Blue Devils to three NCAA Final Fours (1963, 1964, 1966) and four ACC championships (1960, 1963, 1964, 1966). His strong work ethic and vision helped put Duke on the national map in basketball and made Bubas the second winningest coach in the 1960s behind Hall of Famer John Wooden. As the Commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference from 1976-1990, Bubas played a key role in the NCAA's adoption of the both the three-point line and the 45-second shot clock.

He was an unheralded player coming out of high school and college, but left his mark on the NBA as a five-time All Star (1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1985) and one of the game's great clutch performers.

He led the Golden State Warriors to a 4-2 game upset of the Dallas Mavericks in the first round of the 2007 NBA Playoffs, the first time a #8 seed defeated a #1 seed in a seven-game series. In 1996, Nelson was named to the NBA's Ten Best Coaches of All-Time list and has served his country as the head coach of the 1994 U.S. men's national team that won the gold medal at the World Championships.

His greatest achievements have come in the form of five NBA championships, including four as the head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers (1982, 1985, 1987, 1988) and a fifth patrolling the sidelines for the Miami Heat in 2005. He is a member of the NBA's Ten Best Coaches of All-Time and is the only coach in history to win NBA Coach of the Year honors with three different teams. DICK VITALE - Contributor (Finalist in 2004, 2006), a native of Passaic, NJ, has been synonymous with college basketball for more than 20 years as the lead color announcer for ESPN. A successful coach at the high school (East Rutherford), collegiate (University of Detroit) and professional (Detroit Pistons) levels, Vitale began his broadcasting career with ESPN in 1979 and has helped make the network an integral part of college basketball's popularity. His enthusiastic, upbeat style has resulted in a lexicon of now-familiar phrases as "Get a TO," "Awesome, Baby," and "PTP-er." An author of six books chronicling his love affair with basketball, Vitale was recipient of the Basketball Hall of Fame's Curt Gowdy electronic media award (1988) and won the NABC Cliff Wells Appreciation Award in 2000. WOMEN'S COMMITTEE FINALIST CATHY RUSH - Coach (Finalist in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005), a pioneer in women's basketball and an advocate for women's sports, led Immaculata University to three consecutive AIAW national championships from 1972 to 1974. Rush propelled Immaculata, and women's basketball, into the national spotlight when the Mighty Macs appeared on national television in 1975, a first for women's basketball. Rush won 149 games in only seven season and lost only 15, good for a .908 winning percentage. She made six consecutive appearances in the AIAW Final Four (1972-1977) and for her accomplishments was enshrined into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in 2000. INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE FINALISTS TOGO SOARES - Coach, is widely considered the greatest coach in South American basketball history. He coached the Brazilian national team from 1951 to 1971 and led Brazil to five medals in the World Championships including two gold (1959, 1963), two silver (1954, 1970) and one bronze (1967). Soares also managed a bronze medal at the 1960 Olympic Games as well as silver and bronze medals at the 1963 and 1959 Pan-Am Games respectively. His club record included leading teams to five South American championships (1958, 1960, 1961, 1963, 1971). MACIEL UBIRATAN PEREIRA - Player, a native of Sao Paulo, Brazil, is widely considered one of the greatest players in South American basketball history. A member of three Brazilian Olympic teams, Ubiratan led his countrymen to the bronze medal at the 1964 Olympic Games. He was a relentless competitor and all-around player who only cared about winning and filling whatever need for any of his teams. Ubiratan also earned five South American championships (1963, 1968, 1971, 1973, 1977) and eleven titles in Paulista League of Brazil. VETERAN'S COMMITTEE FINALIST RICHARD GUERIN - Player (Finalist in 2007), was a six-time NBA All Star (1958-1963) and scored 14,676 points, 4,278 rebounds and 4,211 assists during a pro career with the Knicks (1956-63), St. Louis Hawks (1963-67) and Atlanta Hawks (1968-70). Guerin was the first Knick to score 2,000 points in a single season, and averaged 20.1 ppg as a member of the Knicks. Born in Bronx, NY, Guerin played at Iona College, where as a senior he averaged 24.7 ppg and was named an All-America. Guerin was also a player/coach for both the St. Louis and Atlanta Hawks, compiling a 327-291 record while being named NBA Coach of the Year in 1968. JOHNNY "RED" KERR - Contributor (Finalist in 2004, 2005, 2006), a native of Chicago, IL, has dedicated more than 60 years of his life to the game of basketball as a player, coach, executive, and broadcaster. A three-time NBA All Star (1956, 1959, 1963) and a member of the 1955 NBA champion Syracuse Nationals, Kerr was one of basketball's most durable players appearing in a then-record 844 consecutive games. The 1967 NBA Coach of the Year is the only coach in NBA history to lead an expansion to the playoffs in the franchise's first season. He is the author of Bull Session and served as the Business Manager for the Chicago Bulls from 1973-1975. Kerr has served as color commentator for the Chicago Bulls since 1975.

    I am a dreamer, and I want to eventually travel the world and I want some information. What would you say are must go and no go areas? Who should I book it with? At the moment, my plan is graduate uni and get all of my qualification. Then work and save enough money and then set off at the age 23 with my University friends and some high school. I have been looking at some websites and they list places that their tickets includes e.g. http://www.travel-nation.co.uk/roundtheworld/route_planner.php?month=-02-&class=econo my&asia_and_mideast=yes&africa=no&north_america=yes&australasia_and_pacific=yes&south _america=yes But!

  36. Resolved Question: If we do let God in our schools will there be less shootings?
    37. 15 Feb 2008 at 12:01pm
    Or will they be more? If the government makes special dispensation for the christian God in north america--brings in all that love and joy--not knocking moslems--just using as an example--would this not set the precedent for the moslems to say--you made special dispensation for the christian god in our schools--therefore special dispensation is possible--therefore we'd like to try crimes against islam under sharia law--could you imagine someone getting off a crime like NIU because they were defending Allahs name? Doesn't keeping god out of our schools really protect all relgions. If we started making religious dispensations I shudder to think of the chaos this country would be drawn into.

    41. 15 Feb 2008 at 4:05am
    I live outside of North America, and where I'm living right now I don't have easy access to baby brine shrimp. I bought the Hikari brand freeze-dried brine shrimp though, and I squish it between my fingers so that they're powdery and I feed them to my platy fry. Is that good enough, or do I still need to feed live foods? I also feed them TetraMin baby. My fry are a week old and have grown visibly, but I don't know if they're on target or not.

  47. Resolved Question: Who here agrees with me on our continent's name being crappy?
    48. 14 Feb 2008 at 2:36pm
    I mean you look at South America, it makes sense because it is south of America. But Central and North America are stupid. First of all, the centre of America IS America and North America has America in it. How can America be North of itself? If it was my way, America would be like Austrilla, a country and a continent. Just call it The United States of America when you are talking about the country and say America when you're talking about the continent. As for Canada and Mexico, I would have Mexico join with South America and have Greenland join Canada and form the new America. So who here agrees with me?

  50. Resolved Question: When will Africa produce a mighty modern nation?
    51. 14 Feb 2008 at 10:33am
    Not counting Arabic Africa in the North, when do you think Africa will be able to produce a mighty and advanced nation that could challenge the other powers in the world? What realistical ideas do you have to make such a thing possible? Every continent has a very strong world power in it, except Africa. Asia has Japan, India and China. North America has USA. Europe has France, England, Russia, basically the whole European Union. South America has Brazil, and in the past Argentina was even strong enough to challenge England. So where is Africas? We have seen what happens when great states unite: examples European Union, Soviet Union, United States, do you think that Africa also needs to unite many nations in order to make one strong one?< >
