Open Question: Reasons HIV causes AIDS?
Give me one shred of evidence that HIV CAUSES AIDS and prove it to me. i will not except that "it does because it does". GIVE ME EVIDENCE. If you can't listen to this each HIV retrovirus infects 1 out of 1000, even one out of every 100,000. Don't forget this that the CT 4 cells reproduce at the rate of 5% a DAY. do the math. also why does AZT supress the immune system isn't that AIDS it self and isn't that one of the first drugs they put you on if you have HIV.
P.S. i know that AIDS is real, but is HIV? research for your self.
i am 15 years old and i know the lies. why cant you guys look for you self.
because the lies of the naivety government and the lies of the AIDS industry. and i want to get the word out. so spread it to the world about Peter Duesberg
to put in simpler terms the white blood cells that fight off infection reproduce at 5% a day. it's math know it and you will rule the world.
let me say it again each individual HIV virus infect at a rate of 1 out of every 1,000 minimal. that is why to doctors need so much tissue to find the virus cause they cant find the infected white blood cell.
i need someone that has solid facts (there are millions of documents and articles that say HIV could, but they don't say it. if anyone out there has support for this it would be greatly appreciated.

moreOpen Question: Raila Odinga,is he a friend of Obama?
You decide
Raila Odinga. He is a Communist(Social Democrat, ODM).
He is also intent on bringing Shariah law to Kenya in a deal he made with mullahs.
He is a Luo, and claims Obama is his cousin.
His father was Oginga Odinga . “OO”, as he was known by his supporters, was a Communist who was aided and supported by the Soviet Union. That's why Raila Odinga went to school in East Germany and named his first-born son after Fidel Castro.
Raila Odinga in a failed coup attempt against President Daniel Arap Moi in 1982 was charged with treason and was detained without trial for six years. A biography released in July 2006 suggested that Raila was more involved in the coup than was previously thought but the statute of limitations had ran out.
Kenya's 37 million people are divided up into over three dozen tribes and sub-tribes, but the two dominant ones are Kikuyu and Luo. Kenyan politics since independence in 1963 has essentially been a duke-out between the two tribes. When Raila Odinga lost the presidential election in Dec 07 to Mwai Kibaki, he claimed the vote was rigged, whereupon Raila`s tribal followers went on murderous rampages. Rampages such as in the town of Eldoret, where on New Years Day dozens of people were burned alive inside a church. 300 to 500 deaths have been attributed to his followers. Following 2 months of unrest, a deal brokered by former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan between Kibaki and Odinga resulted in power-sharing and the creation of the post of Prime Minister. Kenya is presently in a state of unease.
Senator Obama went to Kenya to politic for Odinga before he announced his own campaign for President. Obama's bias for his fellow Luo was so blatant that the (Pro US) Kenya government denounced Obama during his visit as Raila's "stooge."
Obama telephoned Raila Odinga to ask him to have his people stop hacking people to death with machetes. Yet according to some this is exactly what was planned if the election was not won at the ballot box.
I guess this will go on Obama`s resume under foreign policy matters.
Obama was he a stooge or did he know exactly what he was doing?

moreOpen Question: My son is in a life threatening depression, how can I get some major help for him?
My son will be 18 next month. He is likely the father of a baby girl born in Sept. (No money for paternity test at this time). He and the mother are not together but they promised we could all see her anytime. What they didn't say was it would always have to be in their house.
We asked to take the baby and mother (if she wanted to go) 8 blocks to my grandmothers and get a 5 generation picture and stay for 2 hours. They said "NO". because it was "not healthy" but they had already told me they took her to school and let others hold her etc. We pleaded with them to let my son bond with the baby, instead they sent a (very poorly written)certified letter (not a legal letter) telling us we are not allowed on the property. I chose to honor their request to avoid complications and give them time to come to their senses in hope of having a relationship with the baby. (we were there when the baby was born) The mother is 16 and lives with her recently unemployed mother in an extremely filthy home. So bad if reported the baby would likely be taken away from them at least temporarily. We are not trying to hurt anyone though. We have given them many things as I wanted to help them and they told me I was a great friend. Now they have owed me $500 for 2 years and have stabbed us in the heart. They sent an email telling me they don't need anything we gave them so they put it all in the garage (which has no doors) and for me to pick it up (which of course I can't do without going on their property). We may have to go to court to plead our case but we don't have the money to do so as my husband and I commute 2 hours each day for work.
My son has always had issues. He was severly injured when he was 3, he had skin grafs and high fevers and several surgeries. 4 teachers have told me he shows signs of a head injury such as motor skills and mental processing. Some people think he may be bi-polar. Of course I have spoke with the doctors about this and they say even if he does have problems there is nothing that can prove it was from his injury when he was 3 and that there would be no treatment. He has been defiant, he lies, steals, has been diagnosed as ADD and has been through a lifetime of counseling. He has been in placement by my request through a school for children in need of assistance for 1 1/2 yrs. I drove 2 1/2 hrs one way to see him every weekend. He came home only to get into trouble again. He then lived with his 26 yr old brother which he was excited about because he thought his brother was cool and he lived in town not in the country. His brother is a sargeant in the military and he kept my son for 2 yrs. I had him everyother weekend during that time. He ran away for a month and then called me and came to live here again.
Recently he got mad at his teacher in alternative school and poured milk all over her car. He had to clean it and I had to pay because he has had 3 jobs and lost all of them. last week he was caught stealing over the counter medicine and I found out he is taking 20 at a time to get high. I made him go to the police and fill out forms. They say they cannot do anything about it. He came home and my husband and mother had found marajana and more meds in his room. We live in my mothers home she will retire in renovating it for her, so she makes the rules and she kicked my son out. He then asualted my husband (his step dad)
I called the sherriff, police, a judge, the insurance company, mental department and hospital. I had the sherriff pick him up for a "wellness" check. None of them will do anything. It is my understanding that unless he slits his throat or mine or something deadly in front of the doctor nothing can be done. The doctor wouldn't even do a drug test on him.
With that said I am legally responsible for him but he is not allowed in the home I live in. Not only can I not help my son. I cannot see my first grandaughter either. I even wrote to Dr Phil and it has been a month and I have had no response. Today I took his books to school and was going to help him with legal aid about his daughter and an issue he has with losing his liscense and he took the bag of books, discovered that my mother also found his porno which I did not know he had and burned it. He told me he has no family anymore. The only reason he is going to school is because he has to in order to stay at the home he is currently in. I have prayed for him his whole life. Also as bad as he is the babies mother and other grandmother are just as bad. The mom has stolen and lied and the grandmother uses people all the time for money, cel phones, vehicles, food etc. I didn't understand that was what was going on until I had helped then too. I want what is best for my grandaughter and son. Who can help? I am totally at a loss and stressed beyond explaination. Never ever would have believed all these things could happen in my life for my family. Very sad and frightening. He could be dead or in jail very very soon.
moreOpen Question: What good colleges would you recommend for me? why?
I have an 88 average in Brooklyn Technical High School (one of new york city's specialized high schools).
1970 on the SAT
1340 on Math/English section
no SAT II's yet
4 on the Environmental Science AP exam
4 on the American History AP exam
5 on the Calculus AB AP exam
I'm taking AP Chemistry this year
I participated in the 2008 Gotham Screenplay Competition (results haven't been announced.)
I was/am the president of 2 clubs (Muslim student association/National Science Bowl club.)
My Science Bowl team won the Brookhaven Regional Science Bowl competition and went on to the National Science Bowl competition.
I have 341 volunteer hours working in the hospital.
I had a paying job at an adult day health care center/senior center.
I was a member of the national BETA honor society.
my college essay is going to be about how I was the first person in my school to start the jumuah prayer, and how I lead it for 3 years straight before my religious decay (my guidance counselor knows about it). "I was a 14 year old giving sermons to a group of 18,17,16,15, and other 14 year olds." it's a good essay.
I want to make my college essay about my religious decay also; but, there is just too many events to put on to a 2 page essay. I made a great [concise-as-possible] 6 page essay for it; but i don't think colleges will read it if it's that long. (will they?)
other college essay ideas:
My parent's divorce and my mom's subsequent mental breakdown when I was young.
Growing up with a step-mom and half siblings.
Being the middle child in the family.
Being the only guy in my family to make it to a specialized high school.
My mom's death in mid-junior year.
I don't really wanna play the sympathy card; but, these events better explains why I have certain "values."
extra facts:
My dad makes only 22k a year and we have a family of 7. Will the scholarships/financial aid come easy?
My dad is an immigrant and never went to high school (So, I guess that means I'm first generation). Is that a good thing?
I wanna major in philosophy and become a lawyer/screenwriter. As long as a college has a philosophy major, I'll consider it.
So, what good colleges do you think I have a shot at?
moreOpen Question: Write a response based on what you know about HIV transmission?
1. I just found out that the new guy in my gym class was infected with HIV through a blood transfusion when he was a child. I asked the gym teacher if we could get HIV from the guy and he said not if we avoid physical contact with him. Now, whenever we play basketball I'm afraid to get aggressive for fear of bumping into him. What should I do?
2. I heard you can get HIV from blood fluids.Does this mean I can get it from the sweat of an infected person? Should I avoid going into the sauna at the health club in case someone with HIV has been sweating in there before me?
3. My parents said I can have my naval pierced but I am worried about picking up HIV. Should I be worried?
4. I live next door to a woman with AIDS. We have a lot of mosquitos at this time of year and I am afraid if one bites her and then bites me I could become infected with HIV. How likely is that?
5. Last week I was introduced to an aunt I never met before and she gave me a big hug. Later I found out that she is infected with HIV.Now I am worried that she may have transmitted the virus to me when she hugged me . What should I do?
6. My cousin has HIV. When I saw her a few days ago, she had a cold and accidentally sneezed on me. Today I woke up with a stuffy nose and sore throat. I think I caught her cold. Could I have caught her HIV

moreOpen Question: Can anyone PLEASE help me? ?
( its VERY long, Sorry. if you dont like to read dont read )
Hi, i am 18. I am in school, trying to get my GED and looking for a job, expecting to go to college next year in the fall. I live in Chicago, and my son is in texas with his father. His father served me papers in June for temporary orders of a. Appointing Petitioner, The father, Temporary Sole Managing Conservator, and designating Petitioner as the conservator who has the exclusive right to designate the primary residence of the child b. Ordering Respondent to pay child support while this case is pending. c. Ordering Respondent have only supervised visitation with the child. I Responded to this saying i disagreed with everything. Two months went by and i still didnt get anything back, i talked to the father and he said he would fix things, he says hes trying to help me. Hes doing this because he wants me back, he even told me himself he wants me back and he misses me. How is he trying to help me??? i do not know??? because he is not trying to help me! He is manipulative and hes a liar. He tells everyone what they want to hear. After my son was born he didnt even want to help me AT ALL. He just played video games and after i left he barely came to see his son. He always said he was busy. I went to a hearing recently on the 25th of Sep. I was by myself. He has an attorney and the attorneys intern. All three of them there and his older brother, who loves my son very much and him and his wife want to adopt, and they dont like me. I was in a room with all of them stareing at me, his attorney asking me what i wanted to do. I went blank i couldnt think, i didnt know what to say. I just started crying. And they still just stared at me. I asked her what they where wanting to do because i didnt understand the papers they served me. She told me it was just something they came up with for the judge to sign, but if the father wants to let me take him for a while and give him back he can, but of corse he will not allow it. My friend talked to someone from a legal hotline, and they told her that his attorney was wrong and i didnt have to sign anything, and that she shouldnt have to scratch out anything on a legal document. His attorney put on the papers that i did not show up for the hearing before the hearing date. They scratched it out and they told me to sign next to it. They taught me into signing and agreeing with what they were offering. My friend said usually they come up with an amount for you to pay child support from your pay stubbs, but i dont have a job. And it says Wage Assignment, which means they take the money from your checks right? But i dont have a job, how could they do that? They sent me papers about the hearing, i received them 2 days before the hearing. It almost seems like they did this on purpose. They didn't give me enough time, and they put on the papers for the judge to sign that i did not show up. I was there way before them. I want to get my son back! Anyone please help me. I read online that if the father was abusive that i don't even have to let him see my son, even if he never abused the child. He did abuse me, more than once. Mentally and physically. But i wont keep him from seeing him, i just want my son. I want Joint custody but i want Primary. Can anyone please help me in any way posible. Referals for probono attorneys. Or if you are an attorney, can you PLEASE help me. Ive tried legal aid but they cant help me, because hes useing legal aid. And he has 3 jobs! and he lives with his parents, his mom works and his dad gets disability checks. How does he qualify for legal aid. He dosnt even take care of the baby, maybee for an hour or 2. His mom takes care of him. He told me he works every day, he doesnt get one day off, he told me himself. and he gets drunk all the time, he even told me he still drinks. He use to sale weed when i was with him, he was on probation for tagging. I have NEVER done drugs, and have NEVER gotten in trouble in my life. My life is hard because of my parents. The reason i live in Chicago is because my friend and her mom is the only place i have right now. Her mom is helping me finish school. My dad is in jail, and my mom, doesnt have a job and lives with her friends sometimes, and her mom, and sometimes in her car. I want a better life for me and my son. I am nothing like my parents. I did get pregnant at a young age i know, so dont comment on that. And say you shouldnt have gotten pregnant. Because i know! and i dont regret haveing him, because he is soo wonderfull! i love my son soooo much. and i know its really hard but i dont care, i LOVE takeing care of him. I never minded when he woke me up at 3am and when he wouldnt go to sleep. because even when he did sleep i was still awake watching him. i miss him sooo much. I want him back. PLEASE if you have nothing nice to say than dont say anything
I know i need to hire an attorney, but i dont know how and i have no money. =(

moreResolved Question: HELP....Please help me....?
I am 17, confused about life, at least at this point in time. I am fearful because of a situation that ensued because I went against my own personal beliefs and religious beliefs. I am now suffering, mentally and physically and scared that it may get worse. Listen to my story...
*2008 - Early in the year, I got into a car accident, I may have died considering I was the passenger and was going at a high speed in a mustang.
Later that year I got robbed, two guys threatened to kill me etc. I got through it. Both these experiences gave me a chance to examine my life, I changed my ways for the better: I made a moral code fr myself, started to do more good and observe as well as steer the actions of others in the direction of good, I started to get into Buddhism because of my own personal thoughts on God, believing I did not need any structured religion to tell me how to believe in my creator. Aside from this stuff, this is where it began. My ex girlfriend would occasionally call me to have sex and I usually would because I trusted her, especially since she was my first, both in losing my virginity and in love. Now recently we hooked up, if it matters she was at the end of her period, and we had sex, during which the condom popped but I promptly pulled out. Now, about 25-30 days later I start getting symptoms of an STI, at first I thought it was a Urinary Tract infection because of burning and frequent urination, then puss started materializing and my testicles started swelling and I came to the conclusion that it was clamidia , I am going for treatment tomorrow but along with that I am fearful that I may have also contracted AIDs, especially since her being infected was something she kept from me, if that is the case anyway. I'm starting to slip back into a depression that came on a few years ago because of my fearfulness of death, it seems amplified by my own fears now. I am especially saddened because I finally met this girl who seems so perfect for me to spend my life with, we haven't had sex yet but I won't know how to tell her that I had clamidia after I get it treated and not telling her is something is purely wrong in all ways, but if things don't go right then I am as good as dead and won't be able to tell her period. I broke my own moral of being able to think and resist my sexual desires which I now look back upon and feel even worse about because it is also in Buddhist teaching that when one desires something, there is suffering. I am scared, and feel as if I am crying blood from my eyes as I write the painful entry. Being my age and being the thinker I am often plagues me because I know too much about our world, our inevitable end, society, etc but now my thoughts have no way to sum things up because they confuse me so much. I've gone to a Catholic school all my life and in a situation like this I would usually turn to God but I am lost, I am alone. I can't think straight, I don't know how to talk to God, I am confused, I feel alone, I need to feel better and meditation can not console me. I don't want to die; I want life, I want to grow old and become a great man, I do not want to get stricken down because of a stupid mistake, I want to have children and live my life, but if I have more than just clamidia what is my purpose in living, why should I suffer and deal with a life bound to end sooner than it should. Please, if anyone can feel my pain, the loneliness of my situation and the emptiness of my being please offer me up your wisdom. Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Atheists, Agnostics, whoever, anyone of any background please, please help me. I don't know where to turn, I am lost...help me find my way back to life, I implore you, my fellow man, help me I beg you.
I've read some of your answers, thank you, I actually started to cry reading one. As far as some of you telling me to accept God, how can I? In my mind I am fearful, my knowledge of death, spirits, etc prevents my from opening up. I am afraid to hear God, what if I hear a voice speaking with me and it is not God?

moreOpen Question: Is St. Johns Wort a Mood Stabilizer?
Here's the deal: I'm 16, male, and I've diagnosed myself with Bipolar Disorder. I strongly believe I have it.
Proof:
While I spend most of my time depressed I have had episodes of incredible focus on one task with lots of energy. I once cleaned every inch of my room. Even under the bathroom sink, and I vacuumed all of my drawers after I emptied them and reinserted everything in a very orderly fashion. While I am pleased with the results, and am nowhere near concerned with my hypomania, it is my depressive swings that bother me.
I become almost instantly suicidal from anywhere between about ten minutes to six hours. Then it lifts and I am in my normal state. I experience far more depressive episodes than manic episodes.
Hypomania is fine. While I do talk more than usual, it doesn't seem to bother my friends even though I notice. The energy is nice (being able to get one hour of sleep and sit for two hours listening to a very boring man talk and then go about the rest of the day) while unhealthy. I do realize mania of any kind is unhealthy when you only get an hour of sleep. However, the display of this mania is incredibly less severe than most people with bipolar disorder, and is hardly an issue.
The problem lies in what follows the mania... the depression. I've started taking St. John's Wort. At first I thought it was a mood stabilizer until I did more research. However, it seems much lighter than most anti-depressants. I have noticed it triggers slight hypomania. Nothing annoying or destructive like the more intense mania. Infact it's often constructive hypomania (aside from, once again, my lack of sleep).
But what follows the mania, the depression, nearly kills me. It causes me to be suicidal. So I'm wondering if the St. John's Wort will keep me in an either normal or slightly hypomanic state without ever letting me sink down into a depressive bipolar relapse? Or, will the near stabilizing effects for me eventually wear off, and force me into using an actual stabilizer like valporate or lithium?
I'm wondering if St. John's Wort could make my disorder irreversibly worse like other anti-depressants have in other people. Overall it worries me. Right now I feel less than hypomanic, therefore, I am very content with what St. John's Wort has done for thus far. It's the long run implications I am very concerned with. I went on it for a week, and had to go off because it does increase sensitivity to the sun in some cases, and I had an acne treatment with ALA. I started again for a week, and went off of it on the sixth of this month... monday... so I'm also worried about hitting rock bottom fast without the aid of my wort. Any input is helpful at this point. Feel free to correct me as always. Thank you in advance for all who answer.
Oh yes, I almost forgot... my parents don't believe I'm bipolar. I've always hid my depressive outbreaks from them. They've only seen one outbreak. The others have been spent crying in my shower for thirty minutes to an hour. And my mania is so unnoticable for everyone on the outside... it doesn't even matter really... So now I want to prove to my parents that I am truly sick with this disease. I really think I am... I meet all the criteria. Even the severe ones at times. For a period of about three months I believed I could be the second coming of Christ... no lie. I actually did pretty good at getting there hahaha. I read the Bible in 30 days by spending four hours a night on it during the school year with homework... the energy could have come from a higher manic episode... it didn't affect my social status, though. I've always been a quieter student. However, my recent extreme episode in August (stimulated my hormones... or girls...) caused me to rapid cycle at a rate of one swing per day at times. And thus this led me to leave my high school and home school.
Now that I am normal, I don't quite regret the decision even though it was made at a time when my depression was paralyzing me, and my mania was making me believe I was a superhero above the system... which wasn't that much of a delusion. Much of my rationalization for leaving my high school was so convincing that nearly all of my peers and teachers (minus two of them who weren't quite so pleased) approved of the decision. However, my mania did push me during this phase to talk a lot more in class up until I actually made my exit, and it also made the decision... easier actually. I'm quite stable now, and the decision... didn't affect me much. In the long run, I don't believe it will hurt me. I've already chosen a career (Nursing) and am confident I will succeed in that pursuit despite how I finish high school... an extra bit, yet important as well I think...

moreOpen Question: My ears! Am I deaf? What can I do?
So even when I was six I was the one who listened to their headphones full blast. For me, I can't listen to my music any other way. I'll compromise time to time and not listen to it at full blast when I'm not totally focusing on the music but otherwise.. yeah and I'm totally aware how damaging that is to my ears and it doesn't help that I've had a million swimmers ear/ear infections from swimming for many years... But the other day I was talking to my uncle who is pretty much deaf. He has these unattractive hearing aids on both of his ears. Actually on his right ear it's not even a hearing aid but a Receiver so that all the sound from his right side goes to his left side since his hearing on his right is just totally blown.. He isn't that old either... Maybe 50? So I got a little freaked out. There is no way I'm listening to my music really soft for now on but I'll try my best to only to listen to my music as the very least volume level where I'm somewhat satisfied. I pass all my regular hearing test and stuff but my friends always complain how they can never carry a conversation with me in class because they have to talk loud and I strain my hearing to hear sometimes. I don't think my hearing is completely bad or something I need to seriously worry about but none the less is there anything i can do like hearing exercises to improve my hearing or see if there is anything I should be worried about?
moreOpen Question: College Trouble... Advice Please?
Well, for the past month I've been going to college for the first time. I got a lot of scholarships and financial aid, and I wound up paying only like 700 dollars a semester. I know very little right. My family was ecstatic and so was I. But about 2 days ago I found out that they are adding 1,700 dollars for some loan I didn't except or something. I haven't told my mom yet. I know she will struggle like hell to pay for it if I tell her. Do I have any other options. I am 18 and currently looking for a job. Thanks for the advice in advance.
moreOpen Question: What can I do about my cat?
I've had my cat Beta for almost 2 years. She's always had some issues with peeing outside her litterbox, but it's become unbearable. My fiance and I moved into our house about 4 months ago, and I am currently 6 months pregnant. With all of that in mind, we can't have a cat who is peeing all over the place! She's been to a vet, and she doesn't have a UTI. She's fixed already. My fiance scoops the litterbox es (we have two LARGE litterboxes) every other day. We haven't changed her litter brand, her litterboxes, or anything else for that matter. She went through a few weeks where she was great, and now she's back to peeing on our clothing if we leave it on the ground, or peeing in our rugs. I'm terrified of her peeing on baby stuff when our little girl arrives! I hate the idea of having to either put her to sleep, or give her to a shelter (which is almost the same as putting her to sleep), but I've spent hundreds of dollars on vet visits, special "cat attract" litters, cat enzyme formulas to get the pee smell out of things, special food to aid in her urinary tract health, etc. I just can't do it anymore! Any advice?
In response to a lot of the answers, I forgot to mention that she's completely declawed, so putting her outside really isn't an option (it would also be cruel, considering she's only ever been an inside cat).
And, she was on prozac for awhile, but it made her aggressive towards our other cat Deuce (whom we've had since before we got her).
Any other suggestions? :)

The enemy will never waive a white flag and surrender.
They will never totally be killed since they can hide among the locals.
New fighters are created every day all over the world.
So what event or action has to occur before the USA decides they are done in Afghanistan?

Hi, everyone.
There's this university really close to me and it has a grant-in-aid program which helps promote and fund research among high school students. Here is what it says on the website:
"The purpose of the academy is to stimulate education and research in science throughout New Jersey. The academy seeks to accomplish this purpose by... support of secondary school programs in science, such as our Science for Breakfast program, the Grant-In-Aid Program to promote high school research (click here for GIA application), and by dissemination of current research results through our annual meetings and special symposia, as well as other occasional publications.

Senior: AP Chemistry, Ecology
I have a strong science and math background. I'd really like to seize this opportunity and pursue it, but I have no idea about what to research.

moreOpen Question: Is sleeping in a swing bad?
So I have had major sleep issues with my 6 month old son for the past 2 months. He used to get up once a night (after 6-8 hours of sleep) to eat. Then it became twice, then three times. And for the past weeks he's been waking up crying to eat almost every hour some nights. He hasn't slept (without eating) for longer than 4-5 hours in a month or so except for the two nights we ended up putting him in his swing. One time it was at 1 in hte monring and he slept soundly until 8. And he hadn't eaten since 11! And then last night my husband put him in the swing at 10 after he had been crying off and on for 2 hours (he goes to bed at 8). He slept until 6:45 this morning and had not eaten since 7:30! The swing is magical. He is well under the weight limit of 25 lbs. Is there something terribly wrong about letting him sleep in his swing (with it on) all night? I know this is just a band-aid and does not solve his night-time sleep issues. But would we be doing harm? I should add, he goes down for naps and falls asleep on his own easily. It's just that he wont fall back asleep in the middle of the night without nursing. And the swing seems to keep him from waking up at all. I had asked about Ferberizing him a few days ago and was totally shot down.
moreOpen Question: Why does John McCain, a US military hero, have links to terrorists organizations?
(Washington) GOP presidential nominee John McCain has past connections to a private group that supplied aid to guerrillas seeking to overthrow the leftist government of Nicaragua in the Iran-Contra affair.
McCain’s ties are facing renewed scrutiny after his campaign criticized Barack Obama for his link to a former radical who engaged in violent acts 40 years ago.
The U.S. Council for World Freedom was part of an international organization linked to former Nazi collaborators and ultra-right-wing death squads in Central America. The group was dedicated to stamping out communism around the globe.
The council’s founder, retired Army Maj. Gen. John Singlaub, said McCain became associated with the organization in the early 1980s as McCain was launching his political career in Arizona. Singlaub said McCain was a supporter but not an active member in the group.
“McCain was a new guy on the block learning the ropes,” Singlaub told The Associated Press in an interview. “I think I met him in the Washington area when he was just a new congressman. We had McCain on the board to make him feel like he wasn’t left out. It looks good to have names on a letterhead who are well-known and appreciated.
“I don’t recall talking to McCain at all on the work of the group,” Singlaub said.
The renewed attention over McCain’s association with Singlaub’s group comes as McCain’s campaign steps up criticism of Obama’s dealings with William Ayers, a college professor who co-founded the Weather Underground and years later worked on education reform in Chicago alongside Obama. Ayers held a meet-the-candidate event at his home when Obama first ran for public office in the mid-1990s.
Obama was roughly 8 years old when Ayers, now at the University of Illinois at Chicago, was working with the Weather Underground, which took responsibility for bombings that included nonfatal blasts at the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol. McCain’s vice presidential nominee, Sarah Palin, has said that Obama “pals around with terrorists.”
In McCain’s case, Singlaub knew McCain’s father, a Navy admiral who had sought Singlaub’s counsel when McCain, a Navy pilot, became a prisoner of war and spent 5 1/2 years in North Vietnamese hands.
“John’s father asked me for advice about what he ought to do now that his son had been shot down and captured,” Singlaub recalled in one of two recent interviews. “I said, ‘As long as you don’t give any impression that you care more about him than you care about any of the other prisoners, he won’t be treated any differently.’”
Covert arms shipments to the rebels called Contras, financed in part by secret arms sales to Iran, became known as the Iran-Contra affair. They proved to be the undoing of Singlaub’s council.
In 1987, the Internal Revenue Service withdrew the tax-exempt status of Singlaub’s group because of its activities on behalf of the Contras.
Elected to the House in 1982 and at a time when he was on the board of Singlaub’s council, McCain was among Republicans on Capitol Hill expressing support for the Contras, a CIA-organized guerrilla force in Central America. In 1984, Congress cut off CIA funds for the Contras.
Months before the cutoff, top Reagan administration officials ramped up a secret White House-directed supply network and put National Security Council aide Oliver North in charge of running it. The goal was to keep the Contras operational until Congress could be persuaded to resume CIA funding.
Singlaub’s private group became the public cover for the White House operation.
Secretly, Singlaub worked with North in an effort to raise millions of dollars from foreign governments.
McCain has said previously he resigned from the council in 1984 and asked in 1986 to have his name removed from the group’s letterhead.
“I didn’t know whether (the group’s activity) was legal or illegal, but I didn’t think I wanted to be associated with them,” McCain said in a newspaper interview in 1986.
Singlaub does not recall any McCain resignation in 1984 or May 1986. Nor does Joyce Downey, who oversaw the group’s day-to-day activities.
“That’s a surprise to me,” Singlaub said. “This is the first time I’ve ever heard that. There may have been someone in his office communicating with our office.”
“I don’t ever remember hearing about his resigning, but I really wasn’t worried about that part of our activities, a housekeeping thing,” said Singlaub. “If he didn’t want to be on the board that’s OK. It wasn’t as if he had been active participant and we were going to miss his help. He had no active interest. He certainly supported us.”

When they asked me for my input I put country first and suspended my campaign, for almost an entire day, and flew back to Washington in an aeromobile to tell those pork barrel spenders in Washington “I’ll have to get back to ya”, because I could see Putin from my house (I cant remember which one, Cindy has so many) swimming across a narrow maritime channel. I am the ‘eye’ my friends, and Putin wants our oil and women.
I see you still don’t understand. Obama will raise your taxes and spend a trillion dollars to teach sex to illegal alien kindergarteners. He is no Maverick war hero my friends. If you make over a million dollars a year, he will expect you pay some sort of tax assessed against your income! Can you imagine that my friends? He doesn’t understand that you’ve earned the right to not pay taxes through complicated Government loopholes available only for the ultra-rich! Lets see those out-of-work losers he helped as a community organizer in Chicago negotiate their way through corporate tax law. They cant do it my friends!
Now there are these rumors about him giving his followers Kool-aid or some such thing. The Kool-aid drinking confuses me, much like the economy, but Rush tells me its bad, like socialism, so that’s good enough for me. Fundamentally Im strong, like the economy, at least 90% of the time. Obama doesn’t make that claim in his fancy shmancy book he wrote himself.
I ask you to pray for us my friends. Protect these two Mavericks who some viciously refer to as ‘Unstable and Unable’ from B. Hussein Osama’s evil witchcraft and the ‘gotcha’ journalism and magic spells of that witch Katie Couric and deliver us a victory in November. Send him a message that says ‘Thanks but no thanks for your evil voodoo Osama!’ (never look him in the eye; he’ll hypnotize you!!)
To summarize: “Country first, Kool-aid, Maverick, War hero, Obama sounds like Osama”.
Now how do I get out of here my friends?
War Hero!
moreOpen Question: Question about divorce?
okay I went to legal aid to help me out with my divorce because of my husband cheating on me to make a long story short and they have not called me in 17 days. I called them yesterday and they told me that I do have an attorney but I have not talked to her and I was wondering if maybe the reason she has not called me is because my husband still lives with me and he will not move out because he does not think that I have an attorney and he said he will not leave until he sees papers. Want I am trying to say is even if my husband is still living with me can I still get a divorce and also How do I tell him I do not want him here anymore if he will not leave. I have already told him nicely that I do not want him here and it would be much better if he were not here. The whole entire time he has been here he keeps trying to touch on me and stuff and it is starting to make me angry.
I do have cilderen and we are renting he is on the lease but it is under my name and when talking to legal aid I did everything over the phone
I do have children and we are renting he is on the lease but it is under my name and when talking to legal aid I did everything over the phone so I do not have paper work

My friend and I are always joking around (we are also both very sarcastic), she is going on holiday soon and I aid "how will you manage not seeing me for 2 weeks", she didnt say anything or make a sarcastic joke, also I seen her yesterday at work (we work in the same place), it was my day off but I said to her "I bet that made your day because you saw me" again she said nothing and didnt laugh or make a sarcastic comment. What is up with her, do you think she dislikes me?
The rest of the day she was fine and back to joking around, but it was only when I said these two things that she went quiet, why?

moreResolved Question: Why do Fundamentalists hate the human race?
Do creationists ever stop to consider that their anti-science beliefs are detrimental to mankind?
"But an understanding of evolution doesn't lead to anything that could benefit mankind!" The Creationist will say.
That would be like saying, after mankind discovered electricity, "We shouldn't study electricity, it won't lead to anything." But electricity did lead to things, it led to computers, refrigeration, better medical equipment, better home heating. IT SAVED BILLIONS OF LIVES; people who would have died from starvation, or lack of heat, or one of a million other things.
When a Creationist actually takes the time to study evolution and biology (biology being a study which would collapse if Evolution were false, but of course it is not) then they would realize that within the not to distant future, an understanding of evolution will lead to the eradication of disease, and it will allow us to grow new hearts, and limbs, and organs, for the suffering and downtrodden through a complete understanding of DNA. One day we will be able to write DNA, like a programmer writes computer code; but not if we don't understand how DNA evolved, and continues to evolve to this day.
Those two examples are just givens, they WILL happen, once we completely master evolutionary study, and with it all of biology. Who knows what else we will accomplish for mankind. like I said, who knew that electricity, that blue, fleeting, painful substance, would one day lead to defibrillators and artificial hearts.
Let me give you an example of how evolutionary study will eradicate disease. To eradicate AIDS it will require an understanding of how the virus mutates; the virus mutates a full 1% of its DNA every year. Of course, mutate is just another word for darwinian evolution. There is no difference between the two. Viruses mutate according to natural selection. Not only will it require an understanding of how AIDS evolves, but also how it evolved. We can reverse engineer the virus using markers in its DNA. Viruses leave DNA markers every generation, like the rings on a tree. We can follow these markers back millions, if not billions of years, to figure out when it evolved its most potent characteristics. But of course, if we believe that the Earth is only 6,000 years old, then what good would it be to reverse engineer a virus back a billion years to when it was harmless?
What else could we do with a complete understanding of DNA? We could program drug addiction out of the human race. We could literally make it so that drugs do not give people a buzz, and therefore drug addiction becomes a thing of the past.
What sickens me most of all, is that when science does find these cures, the creationist will be the first in line to benefit. Count on it. Just like how they benefit now from our understanding of a round, rather than flat earth. Just like they benefit from the latest neuroscience that examines the human mind as a physical entity, rather than an intangible soul. Just like how they benefit from oil that was discovered with an experts knowledge of the location of ancient bogs and lake beds a billion years into the past.
I wonder if every time a creationists fills his or her car she takes the time to acknoledge that the gas was found only because an expert out there studied what the earth looked like, not 6,000, but 1 billion years ago, and earlier.
I could go on with my thoughts on creationists, but believe me, it would not pass the Yahoo decency test.
Chris: Thank you for your post. That is all fine, but you people really need to understand that scientists study evolution, and biology, and "old Earth theory" because they want to SAVE LIVES here on this planet, in this life! Not in the next one.
♥allecat♥ †EWTN†:
There might be a higher power at work; I doubt it, but I can not say for certain. What I do know however, is that evolution is a FACT. And the Earth is most certainly older than 6,000 years.

moreOpen Question: Can any tell me if I have an STD, Bacterial infection, or HIV?
I have this discharge that turns into clumps when it hits the bottom of the toilet...it smells more so like boiled eggs. I'm itching and burning...the right side of my vagina hairs are gone because the discharge sits on that side more. I also have a rash/blister on that side due to the discharge..I have to constantly wash down there because it itches so badly. I have tried Monastat but I missed one treatment....I got tested for HIV/AIDS and all STD's in may 2008..everything came back negative the only thing I had was a bladder infection which i never got taken care of......but I recently had a 2nd sexual partner this year. I notice the discharge after three days of sleeping with him. Could I have an STD, bacterial infection or possibly HIV. Thanks for you help.
I have only had two sexual partners. I try to be very careful with the people I sleep with. I'm 24 and I hope I haven't contracted HIV or an STD. I don't have fevers, or anything like that. I eat alot so I pray that its not HIV....
moreOpen Question: What dosage of folic acid to take while pregnant? Is Hakubi C whitening supplement safe to take while pregnant?
I'm 4 weeks pregnant, and taking a 500mcg folic acid pill 2 times a day (which means daily dosage of 1000mcg). Is this amount ok? I've yet to attend my first antenatal appointment, so I can't ask the doctor yet.
Also, is it ok to take the skin whitening supplement 'Hakubi C' while pregnant? The leaflet inside the supplement box says it is also an extra supply of Vit C for pregnant women. Should be ok right?
HAKUBI C
●With a blend of 600mg og Vitamin C and L-Cystine, this shows exellent effectiveness against pigmentation such as splotches,freckles,sunburn.
●It is blended with calcium Pantothenate and Orotic Acid, which aid in the functioning of Vitamin C.

Sounds like his thoughts are becoming even more disjointed:
My friends, you just don’t understand. I am a Maverick war hero who puts country first over 90% of the time. My partner is also a Maverick and let me just say that she is just like former Governor Clinton, who had no experience either when he was elected. I don’t think you understand that she doesn’t just read one newspaper, she reads em all! Even those rapscallions with a liberal bias and their “gotcha” journalism. We don’t have time for the slanderous ways they have of asking us questions about our policies and opinions and such. Plus she can use all those new fangled gadgets like cell phones, computationers and washing machines, That, my friends makes her extra-smart in a country-first, mavericky sort of way.

moreOpen Question: High school relationship help! Only respond if serious!?
Okay, here's the situation:
The other day, I found out that a girl from school who I know well likes me. The problem is that she isn't girl who I like! The girl I do like sorta like this guy who is 2 years older and has a girlfriend already though, and she is losing interest in him. I think she might be gaining interest in me, but I'm not sure. I think the other girl is great, but I don't REALLY like her right now. I am Mormon, and so my mom only wants me dating Mormons, which she is. I do think the other girl is cute, but I haven't really developed anything more than friendship for her. My mom probably wouldnt let me date the girl I like, but she doesn't have to know...But should I give up since she doesn't like me and go for the girl my mom approves of? In all seriousness, I'm fairly sure I could come to like the other girl if the first option was closed. I know this is confusing, but you are aiding a good cause!!!
moreResolved Question: What type of job would I like?
I'm looking for a career change and wondering if anybody has any suggestions. I currently work in an office as a transport coordinator. Sitting in an office drives me CRAZY. My main criteria for a new job is at least part of it has to be out and about. I am 22 and I have previously worked on the mines and been a truck driver. I don't mind physical stuff- I have a forklift ticket, truck licence, first aid. I love animals. Any suggestions for a career? It can be something completely different- my main aim is to get out of the office at least for part of my work day.

I found this information 3 days after we had intercourse. Of course, I took into consideration that rumors can get out of hand, but regardless I went and got tested for both. I tested HIV negative, but contracted chlamydia. I am still scared shitless at the fact that I still can have HIV considering that it can take up to 6 months for the antibodies to form. Any suggestions on what I should do? Or any suggestions on how to keep my self sane until I get tested again? I am a broken mess right now and could use some positive input.....Thank You
moreResolved Question: Who Do You Agree Wtih?
I was talking to my friend the other day and she declared that she was a Republican and thinks Obama is the anti-Christ. Now, I'm a proud Democrat and I'm hoping and praying Obama gets the presidency. I don't care about her being a Republican becuase she's actually an Independent, just too stupid to realize it. The only thing she agrees with the Republicans about is not helping the poor. Everything else like gay marriage, legalizing abortion and lightening the punishment for weed, strictly Democrat.
But, when she said that she was against aiding the poor, I was like "Why?"
"Because, if I can get a job and make money to support myself, I don't want the government going in my check taking my money giving it to lazy people."
I was in shock. First of all, they already do. It's called taxes. And just because you recieve government aid doesn't mean you're lazy. There are people who abuse the system, but with every good thing, someone will always try to take advantage of it. There's no way around that. But, completely doing away with it is a bit harsh considering that plenty of other people get it and need the help.
"I don't want my money going to people's unemployment checks."
Unemployment isn't forever. It's a bit over a year. My cousin was on it after being wrongfully terminated from her job. I know.
"Well, then they can just get Section 8 or disability!"
My aunt, like many other Americans are on Section 8 and need it. She has kidney failure and is never well enough to hold down a job. Many others are in her situation. And her father's been on disability for years about his back, but he's well enough to go fix his and other people's cars in the driveway? If he can do that, he can get a job to! And I'm pretty sure that he doesn't need to use the taxpayers money to get an unnesseccary $3,000 computer. He seems to be the people she's talking about.
"If I go to college and get a job, so can everyone else!"
Three factors greatly effect your earning potential. Current status, education and effort. You can have all the heart and put forth all the effort but if your family couldn't send you to college, your stuck in the same cycle as your family. You can only hope to do better for your family. Like my mother. She works like a dog at bearly makes $45,000 a year. Now, does that make her less of a person or less deserving of help if she qualified? No.
I mean, if you're going to get rid of everything people take advantage of, you're going to be living in a pretty bleak world, dear.
Two months of a government class senior year and she thinks she knows politics in and out, yet she doesn't know that she's not even a Republican? Hmm. Wonder what that school's been teachin' her?
