Do you give to charities in the UK – Gift Aid – Do you know what it is?
On the back of one of my questions it is obvious to me that some people who are giving their hard earned cash to charity are unaware that they can – if they pay tax – fill in a gift aid form and the charity they give to can recover another 28% from the government! [...]
Is Yahoo! owned by Google or vice versa, or do they have any affiliation with each other besides competition?
One of my friends claimed that Yahoo! bought Google (or has owned Google), or the other way around. Then she claimed I don’t watch the news enough. If anything, in my opinion, Google would have already bought Yahoo!, as they’re on their way to World Domination. Internet World, that is.

Well, an update to my previous question about the Swine Flu out break……..now 81 dead in Mexico,
cases in Texas, California……even as far as New Zealand……..the CDC (Center for Disease Control) is terrified…they are calling this the worst outbreak ever, possibly bigger than the 1918 outbreak that killed millions. Folks, are you: Washing your hands thoroughly, wearing masks anywhere even near an area of known outbreak, eating well and taking VIt C [...]

Now that we are witnessing the death throes of the capitalist system,
based on human greed as the prime motivator of society, and the whole economy seemingly based on inflated property prices, who is going to be brave enough to start a political party that will sweep away all these malpractices and establish a truly socialist society?
What is the best way to tell your wife of 15 years that you are divorcing her. Please, no sarcasm.
OK, what is the best way to tell your wife of 15 years that you are divorcing her, assuming that she doesn’t have a clue that she is about to be dumped… Don’t judge me just based on this question. You don’t know the whole story so don’t say I haven’t been trying hard enough.

Why do I keep getting invited to join Yahoo! groups?
I do have a Yahoo address which I reserve for a particular purpose and is therefore not really used.
But I keep getting emails asking me to join somebody’s personal Yahoo! group.(Not always the same person)
Clearly it’s spam, and I’m not daft enough to click on the link in the email, although it does seem to [...]
To Prove or disprove God exists…
I have seen many attempts to prove God exists… This is a great explanation why I believe there is no God. Just trying to level the playing field with the creationists…What would happen if we get down on our knees and pray to God in this way: Dear God, almighty, all-powerful, all-loving creator of the [...]
Arundhati Roy, who has been the basis for my last few questions, once said this:
"Soviet-style communism failed, not because it was intrinsically evil, but because it was flawed. It allowed too few people to usurp too much power. Twenty-first-century market capitalism, American-style, will fail for the same reasons. Both are edifices constructed by human intelligence, undone by human nature."
Do you think this is true? Why or why not?
DIR Q: Would you delete a direct Question because other people would not understand it?
The "DQ" I asked you yesterday was deactivated AFTER it was closed and Iwas sent an e-mail saying that it was because other users may not understand it, was this fair? (I Know it wasn’t really a DQ but the question was closed when it was deactivated).

Them v. Us for political entitlements. Boorstein, a historian of note some years back, said that the American public acts by consensus, v. conflict. Yet all I seem to hear is that "those people" ( whites, blacks, mexicans, asians) get it all , while we get nothing. Everyone seems to want a larger share of [...]
where 2 look re: homeowners resp. for cracked sidewalk and tree?
Where would I look to see if I am responsible for the cracked public sidewalk in front of my house and the tree that is on the other side of the sidewalk that caused the crack. The tree is not in "my yard", but between the sidewalk and the street.
why is it people do not look and see who all the presidential candidates are before they vote?
When people would ask who I was going to vote for I said Bob Barr and they would say who is Bob Barr. If you care about your country take time and search who you could vote for.

Will Windows 7 be compatible with previous Vista, Xp programs?
Will one be able to install old programs that one uses in older models such as Windows XP or Vista or will it be a new OS that will not be compatible with any old program?

360 is closing and I have a bunch of blogs there I’d like to save. I can import them to Multiply, but I’d rather put them on Spaces instead. If it means cutting and pasting in one at a time I’ll have to go to Multiply b/c there are too many to get [...]
