How much does it cost to change an automatic transmission for a Mitsubishi Outlander 2003?
Outlander- transmission change
The car makes a lot of noise when going above 40 km/hr. I guess there is something wrong with the transmission. I wonder how much will it cost me if I have to have the whole transmission changed (min to maximum cost) including labour. Should I take it to the dealership or another auto repair shop?


If your current automatic transmission is bad, and you need a rebuild, plan on $1500-$2000 total. If you are talking labor to change out the transmission, plan on spending around $500. Your question was vague, and I hope this helps. Good luck.

If you’re doing by yourself you’ll probably spend $450-$550. If you’re going to take it to a auto repair center its going to cost $1500-$2050.

You should fix it yourself as that saves you around $950-$1600.

Godspeed
Godspeed (2009)

IMDB rating: 0.00

Plot: “Godspeed” is an intense, dramatic thriller set in the lingering light of the Alaskan midnight sun. Charlie Shepard is a modern day faith healer, a man who claims that if you let go and believe, then his power to heal is very real indeed. Living a hand-to-mouth, blue collar existence with his wife Rebecca and young son, Charlie ekes out a meager living from his “healing” sessions. With his marriage failing, and an old drinking habit coming back to haunt him, his family is brutally murdered by unknown assailants for seemingly no reason whatsoever. Six months later, Charlie has abandoned his former life and the house his family lived in, moving through the days’ slow existence more like a ghost than a man. But then a young, mysterious girl named Sarah appears in town, and seeks out Charlie. She will become the link to his family’s killings and to the murderers themselves, ultimately leading to tragic, violent consequences for all. “Godspeed” is a film that explores faith, grief, and the dark, violent nature that may very well exist in all of us — where man is still truly lost and at the mercy of the Last Frontier of the great Alaskan landscape.

What is my van worth?
I have a 1999 Dodge Grand Caravan. It has about 120000 miles and just had a new tranny put in about 2 years ago. It is in perfect condition, except for the engine, which is ‘blown.’ I assume its blown because it will start, but only if i floor the accelerator. And it will only stay running as long as i keep the RPM’s up around 3-4. Then, i also hear a knock in the engine that sounds like someone playing the snare drum.

I am buying a new van, and i am trying to decide whether to sell it to the junk yard for 185, or try to get more from a private sale.

Thanks.


THE JUNK YARD WILL GIVE YOU $300-ISH if it runs, if not like 100-ish because the but it as scrap metal not a car, you might get more on the street, try to sell it on craigslist or just put a sign on it for around $600 and take no les than $400-500
conantherat | Feb 06, 2010


I work for a company that specializes in selling this type of vehicle. We’ve sold 11 "mechanically challenged" 1999 Grand Caravans in the last 3 months. Our average sale price was $300. If you were to use our service, though, the fee is 125, so your net would only be 175. Not really worth it to roll teh dice. If you can get $200-300 off the streets, or at a pick-n-pull go for it.

I can almost guarantee you $500 for that through Craigslist. Just be honest about the condition – "2-yr old tranny, but needs an engine. First $500 takes it" and I bet it will be gone in a weekend
xx_satanic_mechanic_xx | Feb 06, 2010


It’s a high mileage vehicle with a blown engine. Take the price per pound of scrap times the curb weight and you will have the worth. $185 sounds about right.

Mark of Cain, The
Mark of Cain, The (2007)

IMDB rating: 6.70

Plot: GULLIVER and TATE – nickname ‘Treacle’ – are two ordinary 18 year-olds serving in the British Army in Iraq. Their platoon is struggling to maintain the uneasy peace of 2003. When their popular company captain, GODBER, is killed on patrol by a roadside bomb, morale in the platoon hits rock bottom. Acting on orders they round up several suspects from house-to-house searches. That night feelings at the camp are running high and as the chain of command is weakened and events spiral out of control. The lads end their tour of duty and return to England full of stories but also shaken by their experiences. Iraq comes back to haunt them when Gulliver’s jilted girlfriend, Shelley, decides to get her own back on him by giving photos of the events in Iraq to the British police. The story hits the press, and Gulliver and Treacle, now the most reviled men in Britain, face court martial. The army claims the two are ‘rotten apples’ acting alone. Guilt-ridden and abandoned, the pressure is too much for a traumatized Treacle. Gulliver, however, is determined to remain loyal to ‘his army’. Only when he is truly alone does he have to decide if he must keep his secrets or explosively have his day in court, and tell the truth about the events of that fateful night.

Mormons: since you say the mark of the curse was the black skin, why are black mormons still black?
According to The Book of Mormon, the Lamanites (Native Americans) and blaks supposedly inherited Cain’s curse of black skin:

"And the SKINS of the Lamanites were DARK, according to the mark which was set upon their fathers, which was a acurse upon them because of their transgression and their rebellion against their brethren, [...]" – Alma 3:6

"And it came to pass that I beheld, after they had dwindled in unbelief they became a dark, and loathsome, and a filthy people, full of idleness and all manner of abominations." – 1Nephi 12:23

"And he had caused the cursing to come upon them, yea, even a sore cursing, because of their iniquity [...] wherefore, as they WERE WHITE, and exceedingly fair and delightsome, that they might not be enticing unto my people the Lord God did cause a SKIN OF BLACKNESS to come upon them." – 2 Nephi 5:21

"[...]and many generations shall not pass away among them, save they shall be a pure [white]* and a delightsome people. – 2 Nephi 30:6

*White was the word used in the 1840 edition of the book. It was changed to pure in 1981. My brackets.

According to the book, once a black or dark skin person would embrace the faith, God would change their skin color to white just as he allegedly did to some Lamanites in the past.

"And their curse was taken from them, and their SKIN became WHITE like unto the Nephites;" – 3 Nephi 2:15

No personal attacks on your responses please.
phrog: Please read my question again. It has to do with "the mark of the curse". I know what you teach now compared to your previous prophets such as Brigham Young, which many in your church consider him a racist.

You stated "the dark skin was given as a protection" What for? Please provide scriptures and/or the official stance of the church.

You stated: "nephi also often tried to correct the idea that skin color was part of the curse". How? You may be ignoring 2 Nephi 5:21 which relates to the "SKIN of blackness" not the symbolic nature of the words.

"so skin color had nothing to do with righteousnes." So again, how come it is associated with unrighteousness?

You are still ignoring Alma 3:6 and again I quote: "And THE SKINS of the Lamanites were DARK, ACCORDING TO THE MARK which was set upon their fathers, WHICH WAS A CURSE upon them because of their transgression [...]"

(Caps mine for emphasis.)
phrog: you also stated: "if one reads the BoM thoroughly, it is apparent [...] this was not a generalized idea/action …"

Not the generalized idea?

That the context refers to skin color is verified by a number of LDS leaders including Joseph Smith. Mormon author George D. Smith notes that Joseph Smith was given a revelation which foretold of a day when intermarriage with the Lamanites would produce a white and delightsome posterity. George Smith wrote:

"This unpublished 17 July 1831 revelation was described three decades later in an 1861 letter from W.W. Phelps to Brigham Young quoting Joseph Smith: `It is my will, that in time, ye should take unto you wives of the Lamanites and Nephites, that their posterity, may become white, delightsome and just.’ In the 8 December 1831 Ohio Star, Ezra Booth wrote of a revelation directing Mormon elders to marry with the `natives’" (Sunstone, November 1993, footnote #5, pg. 52).
At the October 1960 LDS Church Conference, Spencer Kimball utilized 2 Nephi 30:6 when he stated how the Indians "are fast becoming a white and delightsome people." He said, "The [Indian] children in the home placement program in Utah are often lighter than their brothers and sisters in the hogans on the reservation" (Improvement Era, December 1960, pp. 922-3).
LDS writer George Edward Clark wrote an account in his book titled Why I Believe. On page 129 he wrote:

"The writer has been privileged to sit at table with several members of the Catawba tribe of Indians, whose reservation is near the north border of South Carolina. That tribe, or most of its people, are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon). Those Indians, at least as many as I have observed, were WHITE and delightsome, as WHITE AND FAIR as any group of citizens of our country. I know of no prophecy, ancient or modern, that has had a more LITERAL FULFILLMENT."
In a conference message given by Elder Eugene J. Neff in 1927. Referring to Hawaiian members, Neff stated:

"As they [the islanders] all sat around the mat and heard the voice of this missionary from Utah, they were TRANSFIGURED before George Q. Cannon, and he saw ninety-seven of them BECOME WHITE, and three of them REMAINED DARK.

As to the three that remained "dark" he stated: "They are delightsome at present, and I believe they are GOING TO BECOME WHITE. They are growing WHITER from year to year."
So the question remains unanswered, why are black mormons still black?
studlee82: I thank you for your candor. A mormon with flair. As long as you are honest I have no problem with your bluntness.

Ok, I am NOT saying/implying that all LDS/Mormons are racists. I am clearly presenting facts based on the BoM and excerpts from speeches form your previous elders/seers/prophets, etc. etc. etc.

This is NOT a question about racism. It is based on your church’s writings. According to the books of Nephi, Alma, and others, the SIGN of the curse was actually the dark/black SKIN. And as to the Amlicites, it was a red marking that they imposed on themselves.

Again, according to your own prophets/seers/elders/apostles, etc. etc. etc., in their writings and the BoM, they would BECOME WHITE. Do not steer away from the question. Get it?

Question remains unanswered.

PS. If you do not know, just say it. :)
Ginger and phrog: Aye, yi, yi!! What can I say? Actually, I do know.

Your typical response is "oh no, you’re misssing the point, you need to look at the meaning in its conext, or it’s all in a spiritual sense…" I am to finish reading the BoM in English AND Spanish, believe me, I know the context.

The writer/s of the book knew exactly he was refering to darkness in the literal sense of the word. What does SKIN mean to you other than the flesh? They knew it was literal as Cannon mentioned in its literal sense.

You keep using phrases like ‘perhaps, maybe, I don’t know for sure, it was there OPINION…’ How different and clear is your works from that of the Bible, the only true word of God. Its writers were truly impelled to write His words and thinking. The Bible stand infallible in spite various interpretations on some subjects. Am I a fool for it? So be it! (2Nephi 29:6)*
It is interesting to note that in this verse the writer uses the word "Bible" when actually the word "Bible" was not invented 400 years A.C.E when the codex was first being used.

As to words being used in spiritual sense, I know exactly what you are talking about. The book of Revelation relates to a great crowd from all nations with white robes standing before the throne (Ch. 7:9); the Lamb riding on a "white horse" (6:2; 19:11) You may also read John 8:12; Philippeans 2:25; Isaiah 60:2; 2Cor. 4:6; Col. 1:13, 14, and many others.

YOUR writings, which you consider to be personal opinions at times are the same ones clearly proving my point. Some of you say no, the black/dark skin was/is not a curse, some have told me that it WAS. I haven’t seen no proof whatsoever in the Bible, that any human being and his "posterity/seed" were cursed with the sign of black skin.

I don’t even see any unity among yourselves on this matter.
The black skin was NOT and never will be a sign of any curse.
Apostle Bruce R. McConkie –
"Negroes in this life are denied the Priesthood; under no circumstances can they hold this delegation of authority from the Almighty. (Abra. 1:20-27.) The gospel message of salvation is not carried affirmatively to them… negroes are not equal with other races where the receipt of certain spiritual blessings are concerned, particularly the priesthood and the temple blessings that flow there from, but this inequality is not of man’s origin. It is the Lord’s doing, is based on his eternal laws of justice, and grows out of the lack of Spiritual valiance of those concerned in their first estate." (Mormon Doctrine, 1966, pp. 527-528)

"Their skin is quite black, their hair woolly and black, their intelligence stunted, and they appear never to have arisen from the most savage state of barbarism."
- The Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 3, page 157
It has also been taught in Mormonism that opposite repercussions could result when a white man abandoned his Mormon faith. For instance, the Juvenile Instructor (26:635) reads,

"From this it is very clear that the mark which was set upon the descendants of Cain was a skin of blackness, and there can be no doubt that this was the mark that Cain himself received; in fact, it has been noticed in our day that men who have lost the spirit of the Lord, and from whom his blessings have been withdrawn, have turned dark to such an extend as to excite the comments of all who have known them."

In 1857, Brigham Young declared that apostates would "become gray-haired, wrinkled, and black, just like the Devil" (Journal of Discourses 5:332).

Despite the comments from past Mormon leaders, skin color has nothing to do with a person’s spirituality. To say 2 Nephi 30:6 was altered merely for clarification and had nothing to do with skin color is without merit.

Phrog: AGAIN, I am not saying that now you say the black skin is the curse but rather THE SIGN
As to the references you included I’ll get back at you tomorrow since I don’t have the time now. However, I’ll say now that they have no grounds with what we’re talking about here. I’ll be including Hebrew texts as well as other Bible translations, not just from your KJV.
phrog: Ok, since you have clarified the usage of your biblical references I will not post my repertoire of Hebrew references, other than to say that the KJV does not render correctly the Hebrew word for "black" in some of the instances.

Now. OPINIONS from your prophets and apostles are based from your most sacred and correctly translated BoM. How hard is it to understand something different from what it written in Alma 3:6 – "And the SKINS of the Lamanites were DARK, according to the mark [...] which WAS A CURSE upon them [...]? What other explaination can you give to "And he had caused the cursing to come upon them, yea, even a sore cursing,[...] the Lord God did cause a SKIN OF BLACKNESS [...]"

I mean, do you see my issue really? I think the LDS church need to admit that they were wrong in teaching that black/dark skin was, at least, the RESULT/MARK of the curse upon Cain.
Your prophets/seers/elders/presidents were, and are, representatives of the church, therefore their word was supposed to be God’s stance on the matter.

I’ll finish by saying that there is actually one religious group that did not teach nor practiced segregation while the rest were mainstreaming with this blackness nonsense.

I’ll leave you with a quote from Jeremiah 23:16 – "Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD." (KJV)

Thank you.


I saw an angry black guy outside a Mormon temple one day. He was banging on the doors shouting, "Give me back my money, you dirty thieves! I’m still black!"

Desiree | Jan 26, 2010


because black mormons live in a high UV ray area and need the melanin to protect them.. which is something God also gave them
chris b | Jan 26, 2010


They are only interested in amassing wealth. They used to not allow blacks, now they found out that some had some money and political clout.
jekin | Jan 26, 2010


Simple. Black Mormons are still black because Mormonism is a dangerous fiction, just like Christianity, Scientology, Islam, Hinduism, Bahai, Judaism, etc etc etc. It is all a load of crap that is bad for us as a species.

I gotta go with question mark above me. He seems to know what’s going on.
Tullythe | Jan 26, 2010


will be interested in some of the answers you get, I know at one time they did not allow blacks, think that is one of the many reasons I do not belong to that religion any more.Blessings
pops | Jan 26, 2010


I guess the interpretation of "no personal attacks" could be construed to be toward you only, at least it seems so from the posts before me.

I don’t claim to know how it all works, I don’t know why some needed to have different colors of skin but here we are. What I do know is that skin color really can drive a wedge of hatred between people. I would think that in Gods infinite wisdom there is a need for different skin colors. We read about it in the scriptures as being a curse. I would say if you ask a black or asian person in america then yes it has been a curse on them in the way they have been treated because of it. I would say the lesson the Lord has for us to learn from it is how to look past the color of a mans skin into his eyes and into his soul to find the real man hidden underneath. I am LDS and know people of all colors in the church. I would say that there was some hard hearts when the priesthood was extended to all but it would not be the majority. Presdient Young is often misquoted about the black race. The Church has at all times in its history stood for individual rights and freedom where it can be had. I was raised in the western United States and somewhat removed from the prejudices that were prevalent and it was hard for me to accept the divisions when I finally moved to a big city where there were issues. I grew up with teachings to respect others, especially my elders. I was taught that each man has to decide on what he will do and each are valued equally in the eyes of God. Yes I was raised in the church. I was taught to love all men, not to discriminate or judge by the way someone looks but to determine if I would associate myself with them by how they acted.

I would say the "curse" as it were is going to be on those who can not overcome the divide and see the inner heart of a man.
papa smurf | Jan 26, 2010


Well think of it, a white man who invaded this land with all the other invaders thinks he is the only one to bring forth the indians history and not an indian cheif, and acts like the indians are too dumb to know the GOLD plates are hidden in the hill and only he can find them, I mean how racist is that???
Rock UR world | Jan 26, 2010


black skin isn’t a curse. the mark and the curse are two different things – and scripture tells us that the curse is being cut off from the presence of God. the curse of Cain was eternal separation from God. that is the curse, not the skin…….the dark skin was given as a protection.

could the nephites (who wrote the BoM) have been prejudiced against the lamanites? yea. they could. and what exactly does the BoM really say? well, Jacob 3: 5-7 points out that although some may have felt that skin color was a spiritual advantage or not…….jacob makes it plain that the lamanites were full of good and righteous people — so skin color had nothing to do with righteousnes. at the same time, the color of black (NOT the skin) was sometimes used to associate with darkness and evil – the color white (NOT the skin), with purity and good — so some verses reflect this ‘cultural’ whitening (becoming good/purification). nephi also often tried to correct the idea that skin color was part of the curse.

if one reads the BoM thoroughly, (paraphrased from Tvednes) it is apparent that while some seem to have been racist (in that they were repulsed by the skin color of the lamanites) this was not a generalized idea/action……and in fact, instead of promoting racism, the BoM clearly suggests that people of different ethnic/racial backgrounds can overcome hatreds and misconceptions to attain peace, happiness, and unity through the gospel of Jesus Christ. that is the story of the BoM to a world that needs it – even now. I leave you with this scripture from the BoM……….

2 Ne. 26: 33
"For none of these iniquities come of the Lord; for he doeth that which is good among the children of men; and he doeth nothing save it be plain unto the children of men; and he inviteth them all to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile."

edit: "It has to do with "the mark of the curse". " — exactly my point. your original premise is skewed – LDS do not necessarily "say the mark of the curse was the black skin" as you presume. and the BoM does not say that skin color is a curse.
what I am saying is that yes it is possible that some who wrote the BoM and even after may have had racist views, but that is their opinion and they are entitled to it. the point is that there is a distinction that not all people make – then or now – between the mark and the curse. the mark (first mentioned in referrence to Cain) was given for protection so that none would kill him. there is no reason to believe that changed whether the mark was with Cain or with Lamen.
I did not find the specific stance of the church…..and I am not suggesting I am "gospel truth right", or a representative of anything but myself. I’m just saying this is a possibility I have considered and find compelling.

there is no evidence, other than hearsay (later), to indicate that JS believed skin color = inferior (racism). however, there
is clear evidence that he considered blacks to be just as capable as whites, given the same opportunities — and he favored freeing the slaves, as well as ordained some blacks to the priesthood himself. BY’s comments do sometimes have the feel of racism, but in my experience, when one really researches them – they have proven to be NOT so much racist. perhaps cannon was seeing them age – gaining white hair and growing older….I did not see what he saw. we are a physical being and require information be given to us in a manner conducive to learning as we are….and it may be that black and white is the easiest way for us to get this information. does that mean that we as LDS believe that skin color will literally change?

Why am I a jealous wreck when it comes to comparing myself to others?
Lately ever since I started seventh grade, I’ve grown more jealous.
Girls in my school have changed, and I’m not talking about boobs or make-up I could care less about that. But I’m talking about how guys fall for them easily, and now it’s not about being feminine and normal and looking at someone whose a ‘tomboy’ but they’re acting more like tomboys themselves.

Suddenly it’s been fights, and cat-fights, drugs and smoking, drinking and partying and losing your virginity that has been the new thing

Not that I want to be that, but it just bugs me and actually makes me a little jealous that that’s ‘cool’ or popular, and people actually want to do that, and thing its the new trend, and the part that bugs me the most is how guys thing girls doing that is sexy and fall for them more.

I’m a normal preppy girl, I love sports and get straight A’s. Tall and I’m not as judgmental as the girls these days, and I’m friends with everybody instead of just the ‘cool crowd’. I think of honesty and kindness before education or money, I have been told that I was hot and pretty and I have an amazing figure but I just don’t see it. Finally I have been asked out before but they were mostly all by pervs that just want a sexual relationship (I dump them before it goes to far).

Basically my question is what makes me different from those other girlie girls in my school, and if I’m equal or better then them while do they get the Beast and I got little old boring booty-call Prince Charming. Could it just be that I’m insecure?


To be honest their are girls like that in my school as well, but you just have to think that 10-15 years down the line you will be successful and they will be disappoint both by their parents and themselves, most girls that waste their education time partying and attempting to lose their virginity generally end up as prostitutes, thieves or other crappy jobs that have not advances. By the sound of you, you could go to university/college and make something of your life. I sometimes get jealous of the rough but popular boys in my school, but you just have to remember that nobody likes a rough, non-qualified and probably jobless as well.

| Jan 16, 2010


sometimes the beast can be a pretty cool guy it’s not always about who’s hot and who’s not. think about it would you rather have a guy with a monobrow who treats you kindly or a guy who looks like taylor lautner treat you like shit?
ronyear4 | Jan 16, 2010


Wow-
You took the words straight from my mouth, lol

I’m not really sure why sex and putting out is the new big thing nowadays. Hey, if guys that you know are into that and you want to get noticed by some males, it’s up to you whether to conform or not (DON’T, REBEL LIKE HELL, MAAN!!!). lol
I’d say ignore everyone else for a while and improve on yourself before trying to change your look to impress some guy (it doesn’t hurt to know a few tricks of the trade though).
Don’t be insecure. It will be your undoing. *dead serious*
Gabz | Jan 16, 2010


I think u are just insecure about yourself. Boys aren’t everything in this crazy world. I am in seventh grade too, and trust me boys cant break you heart and destroy you. Just worry about school and sports. Just be sure you are being yourself and have fun… but most importantly be a kid!! not everyone gets to be a kid forever. There is more time later in life to think about boys just not right now.

Forrest Gump

March 13th, 2010

Forrest Gump
Forrest Gump (1994)

IMDB rating: 8.20

Plot: The story follows the life of low I.Q. Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks) and his meeting with the love of his life Jenny. The film chronicles his accidental experiences with some of the most important people and events in America from the late 1950’s through the 1970’s including a meeting with Elvis Presley, JFK, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, fighting in Vietnam, etc. The problem is, he’s too stupid to realize the significance of his actions. Forrest becomes representative of the baby boomer generation having walked through life blindly.

What is a popular movie that came out within the last three years?
Something that people may not like in the future because of technological advances.

I’m not a theatergoer, and I could use some help. I’m considering putting "Juno," but somehow that seems out of place among "Home Alone," "Mrs. Doubtfire," and "Forrest Gump." I might go with "Mean Girls," but I fear that people will laugh at me, or it won’t work…
Oops, I’m sorry, Gareth! I meant to thumbs-up your answer but I accidentally thumbs’d it down. But that’s not quite what I’m looking for.


2012 will be ruined come 2013 :)

That’s a tough question because I don’t think people don’t like movies that aren’t technologically advanced. I mean, Avatar is the first really technological movie since maybe Titanic (if you consider the technology the best part of the film, which I certainly don’t) to be so universally praised and popular. At the end of the day, people like films that are well-written with compelling characters, a good story, and relevance in today’s world, with the overall technology being pretty unimportant. Look at the great movies from the last few years – Juno, Slumdog Millionaire, No Country for Old Men, There Will Be Blood, The Dark Knight even – they were all popular because people connected with the story and the characters, not because they were wowed by the technology. Case in point: Paranormal Activity, one of the most popular horror films in recent memory, was made in someone’s house in a week for a few thousand dollars!

As for your question, your best bet is finding some little, indie movie that was made with a very small budget. It’s possible that in a few years people might be turned off by a film of extremely low technological quality. But I highly doubt it, and it’s worth bringing up in your answer if you want to be original :-)

Who is the real "enemy"?
In the years since September 11, 2001, America has re-paid/retaliated, for the loss of 3,000 Americqan lives, by invading atleast two, foreign nations. I just wonder how many tens, or hundreds, of thousands, of Iraqi, and Afghan, civilians have perished, as America seeks to avenge the loss of our 3,000.

In the days since 9/11/01, Americans have been lectured with "The enemy is everywhere". The question is, how bad has this rhetoric become when children are banned from planes, under the suspicion of being "potential bombers"? How bad has we become if all religious symbols are suspected of being possible explosives?

How different are we, than our "enemy", when we say that torture, and interrogation, of "foreign nationales", is "necessary", yet we condemn other nations, for torture, and interrogation, of Americans, such as the recent, on-line story of the first female ex-pow?

Have we regressed so far, as to return to the days of McCarthyism,"Better dead than red", and so on? Over these past tears, Americans have been taught to question anything which is "different", and to having neighbors suspecting neighbors, for "suspicious changes in behavior".

I just wonder if America’s mational sjogan: "We will never forget" should be replaced with "We have met the enemy, and they are US"? HAve we become our own worst ebeny, when every necklace, toy, handbag, ipod, and so on, is suspect as a potential bomb? How similar is the phrase "The terrorists are everywhere. If we dont destroy them, they will destroy us" than its counterpart "The only thing to fear is fear, itself".

Has American paranoia lead us to the point where everyone is suspect, and anyone, even infants, are to be suspected, as possible "enemy agents"? When we begin to suspect one another "just because" then haven’t we become our own worst enemy?

How can America be a mighty nation, bringing peace, and "democracy", to the eorld, when our own ppeople no longer trust one another? If we continue to live under the dark cloud, of suspicion, and paranoia, then haven’t we, in fact, become a much worse enemy, than the "underwear bomber"?

Have we forgotten that America was founded not by American’s, but by refugee’s, from England, Russia, Germany, and so on.

How long will we remain our own worst enemy?

Secede, take your idiots that lost no one in 911 and can watch people who made the choice of burning to death or jumping to death on live tv and seeing the body parts of human beings spewed all over the streets in Israel, the UK, Madrid, can hear about the little girls in Beslan who were raped with hard objects so hard by filthy Chechen Muslims that they bled to death and keep telling yourself we are our own enemy. You’re a worthless moron.

Well said, My Business Plan.

its called preventive maintenance i i dont think it is as many as you think sure theres a few but that happens during war all they have to do is tell us where bin – laden and his followers are what was that saying in the 60s AMERICA LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT SEE YA LATER

You gotta send them a message. You piss with us, and will flatten you regardless the cost to us.
Its pretty simple really. If my neighbor comes onto my property and knocks down my shed, then he could probably look forward to many years of broken windows, flat tires and anything else I can do to punish the scoundrel. SLOWLY.
We can not allow the Muslim Infidels one second of down time. That is when they plan the next attack. We have to keep taking it to them, until we get ALL of them and kill them.
Do you think they would have any compassion for you?
If innocents die, then I guess thats too bad.
They need to make social changes in their countries and teach them not to kill innocent people, especially Americans.
It is the fault of the Muslim peoples that America must do the tough work.
My Business Plan | Feb 04, 2010


Terroists use fear to make you do what they want.
Isn’t that what the goverments doing?

We invade iraq being the "good guys" to find bombs but what there’s none? Let’s take there oil!
But where still the good guys right?

Where our own enemy fighting nothing. Where being lied to! decieved! do your research you will find this conspiracy is a fact
Baker | Feb 04, 2010


That’s just how we roll, here in America.

Every couple of decades we NEED a new enemy.

We either create these enemies (the CIA calls it BLOWBACK), or we simply imagine them (have you noticed that, according to media hype, the terrorists are fcuking EVERYWHERE?).

One good way to create enemies is outlined in the John Perkins book "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man".

When America interferes, intervenes, meddles, and pushes her way into foreign countries, some of the citizens of these countries get agitated.

Now, don’t get mad at me. I know that Americans would welcome, with open arms, ANY foreign country meddling in our internal affairs. We would LOVE to have Chinese or Russian troops stationed in our larger cities. As a matter of fact, answering a Russian soldier’s probing questions, at a security check point just outside of Baltimore or Los Angeles, would be quite an honor, don’t you think?

However, the SAVAGES in these ridiculous Third World nations don’t think like Americans do. They don’t like foreign troops on their soil. Crazy, aren’t they?

How long will we remain our own worst enemy?

As long as progressive socialists are in our governments ranks like they are today, and our government is beholden to special interest groups, unions, advocates, and radicals. Your information is so blown out of proportion and full of falsehoods, its obvious you either have done no legitimate research to weed out the real facts from the left wing bullcrap spin, or your just a hymie who believes everything the left wing media produces.

liklihood of cat being pregnant?
A cat followed me home in November. I contacted cats protection and we looked for the owners- We took her to the vets for check up and they found her microchipped but the info still never led us to her previous owner. We were told she was 6 and a purebreed Burmilla cat. The vet suggested she would be spayed most likely because the breeder would probably have taken care of it, though he couldnt be sure.
About 3 weeks ago, she started making loud yowling noises (we chose to let her live with us as she was happy here and we had contact cats protection league who had given us advice and helped try to find her owners) and we noticed a black cat in our garden and thought it could be a tom cat…then she came in and rolled round purring and miawing like a looney (she is friendly but didnt do that before and hasnt done it since) so we decided to keep her in for a bit. After a week or so we let her back out – she hated being kept in!- and she hasnt done this yowling and rolling since and we havent seen the black cat again. HOWEVER- yesterday i was stroking her and her nipples were really prominant, obviously so. More like cows udders! I thought this could be a sign of pregnancy? Her nipples were always fairly prominent i think because she had bad fleas when we got her (treated by the vet for it since of course) and i think they caused it but even so they are really noticable.
Do you think these signs indicate she may be pregnant, and if so is a 6 year old cat having kittens high risk? IF she is pregnant she would of course be spayed after they are born but i want to make sure she is well cared for during her pregnancy. When can you ‘tell’ and when would a vet be able to confirm a pregnancy in c at? Is it necessary for the vet to see her at early pregnancy stage? Is it normal for a cat to see the vet regularly during pregnant? thanks for your advice


well the thing is….. cats having kittens is just what they do…. i don’t think that a 6 year old cat would be high risk either being that they are still pretty young. and as for seeing a vet regularly during pregnancy, that won’t be neccesary unless there are complications. it is just something that comes natural to them..
hope this helps
mcbrides07 | Feb 04, 2010


Definately sounds like she is pregnant. The yowling and rolling were signs of her being in heat. 21 days after being bred a cats nipples will get larger and pinker. This is called "pinking up." Since you said she was in heat about three weeks ago and you noticed her nipples enlarged yesterday, I’d say you were spot on!

Cats have a 65 day gestation, give or take a day or two. 6 is not great, but its not terrible either. Just make sure she has proper care. Here are a couple good sites to look over:
http://www.hdw-inc.com/pregnancy.htm
http://www.hdw-inc.com/delivery.htm
http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/showthr ead.php?t=80724

If you want to contact me privately for help and advice I would be happy to help. My e-mail is on my website listed below.

I am curious as to how your vet determined that this cat is a purebred Burmilla. Its extremely rare for a purebred cat to be roaming around outside, especially not spayed.
Kristin | Feb 04, 2010


Im not a vet soI cant say for def but im pretty sure cats do not go into season after they have been spayed and by the sounds of it your cat was making the typical calling sounds when in season so she way well be pregnant. A cats pregnancy lasts 9 weeks so you should know pretty soon whether she is or not. Id def get advice from the vets regarding her age if she is pregnant because they will advise you if shes a high risk.
Laura | Feb 04, 2010


my cat is pregnant and has all the signs your cat has, when your cat was rolling round like a looney, yes she has just been with the tom cat.
Vets will be able to tell you now if she is pregnant for sure, but you don’t need to take her to the vets just have the number close to you when she gives birth so if you need advise.
cats can now have abortions if you don’t want her to have kittens as by six years of age and being outside cat she must of had loads before, so best get her done after she has her litter.

why is my boyfriend doing this behind my back? am i being used?
So, my boyfriend is at boot camp right now. We dated a month before he left. He will be gone for 3… He dated his ex for a year and a half and broke up with her because he wanted to be "single" before boot camp. He then dated three girls within a month (without telling her…one girl was my cousin) and then he dated me for a month before he left. He says he LOVES ME ALREADY. (:

They’ve been broken up for 2 months, but I heard from a trust worthy source that he was contacting her the week before he left for boot camp. I heard he called at least 3 times and they talked for 30 min. each time. He ALSO drove to her house WITHOUT TELLING ME to tell her bye. He didn’t cheat. He also told her we AREN’T serious? But still brings me up a lot in conversation to make her jealous? Makes no sense to me. (this was 3 weeks ago btw.)

So, I heard he called her from boot camp 5 days ago…he called his dad, his brother, and her. He wrote her a letter too! He called her by the nick name he used to call her when they dated. (his brother told me this because she is really good friends with him still) I’ve gotten a letter too though. (:

What is going on here? Am I just a rebound?? He used to talk SO badly about her…I don’t get it! He even told her he didn’t want to get back together, but he’s done this before & still asked her out again…I’m confused
WE HUNG OUT A TON BEFORE HE LEFT. He said he would really miss me!
