UK Election, Final debate on the economy (Pt.2) Will Gordon Brown answer these points?
This is the second part to the QUESTIONS that UK voters need to have answered on tonight's debate: The first part can be found by clicking on this link: http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AtIBE_Qq2z1UDDGlkyHQCq0KT31G;_ylv=3?qid=20100429022854AA8FVoZ The UK has done that with Europe, Nato, the UN, G7, G20 and many other agreements. This, in turn, has led to the imposition of regulations that govern many aspects of our economy, our criminal and civil laws, environment and trade. The consequent administrative burdens that we, as a nation, now face is so complex that even a minor policy change will require massive scrutiny just to ensure we’re fully compliant. I feel sorry for local councillors, doesn’t matter which party they belong to. They’re trying to serve their local communities, keep costs down and improve the lot of their constituents. But the regulations being heaped on them, almost on a daily basis, is adding to their costs with no direct benefit to their communities and the electorate will penalise them at the ballot box, not knowing that it won’t make a blind bit of difference because the Councillors don’t have the authority to change these laws. Regardless of who gets elected at the next General Election, they are going to be trussed up by these administrative burdens that were nodded through by the Labour Government. So our room for manoevre is severely constrained. Finally, we come to the issue of growth. Where is it going to come from? Remember, this isn’t 1979. As bad as things were then, we knew that major finds in the North Sea held huge opportunities for our Country. We were able to off-load State-owned industries to the Private Sector via a money market stuffed with cash and burgeoning economies in the Far East, Europe and America provided willing custom for these new highly productive industries, now revitalised with Private capital and methods. That won’t happen this time. We can’t go back to the ‘80s, we’re in a very different world now. How about Green jobs? Well even in the rosiest of scenarios, we’re only looking at around 200,000 jobs, all of which will be subject to fierce competition from every Country that is also trying to steal a march on this new technology. In the meantime, we’re likely to lose 3 jobs for every green job created because of the imposition of new carbon trading rules and environmental regulation. Oh, and in case we are thinking that the UK might suddenly get an oil revenue bonanza from a major find in the Falkland Islands, think again. Brazil and other South American countries are not all that favourably disposed toward Britain at the moment and Argentina is now a democracy no longer ruled by a military junta. Our negotiating position is very weak and World trade bodys are far more likely to rule in favour of those Countries than the UK. We may see some revenue if oil is found but nothing anywhere near the scale we had from the North Sea. So minimal export opportunities, no oil, the Consumer flat on his back, massive debts, crippling legislation and huge unemployment with no prospect for jobs growth and the potential for massive social upheaval. How can Gordon spin his way out of this one?

Football Section: Why is Manchester City such a joke?
Football Section: Why is Manchester City such a joke?
Remember all the talk about Emmanuel Adebayor, Carlos Tevez, and Robinho all on Man City, a year later, Robinho is at Milan after being loaned out to Santos before...Tevez keeps talking about going back to Argentina, now Adebayor is loaned out to Real Madrid. Where is the loyalty in this club??? This club is an utter joke and will fail once their owner sells his toy. No history behind this club in the past few years, yet they think they can roll with the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal. Sure, they win some games and are currently 3rd in PL, but look at their starting lineup, only Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, and De Jong were at the club 2 years ago, the rest were brought in the past 2 summers, the solution to make your team better is to grow loyal players from a youth system, not just buying everyone left and right. Only half of the players on Man City are loyal to having a long-term career with the club...the rest are there for the money. Adebayor was a star for Man City a year ago, now he's loaned out, congratulations Man City for being such a pathetic club. FQ: Tottenham are almost as bad as Man City, agree? Keiran: Giovani dos Santos is all-Barca, he deserves better than being on the reserves, yet Redknapp won't sell him. Talk about being a hog... Keiran, I obviously don't see any of the players you mentioned besides Lennon with a future at Tottenham, after all, they are behind a bunch of Internationals on the squad :/ with the exception of Bale and Huddlestone who actually start heheh

FQ Errrrmmmm no We don't buy a player one transfer window and sell him the next And we have a lot of British players, British chairman, British Manager and a long list of players who have been at the club for more than a couple of seasons! And your going on about a youth system..... Danny Rose, Kyle Naughton, Kyle Walker, Gareth Bale, Gio Santos, Aaron Lennon, Tom Huddlestone, Jamie O'Hara, Jake Livermore, Steven Caulker, Andros Townsend, John Bostock, Jonathan Obika Need i continue? So after all that (^^^^^^^) all you can argue is Santos not getting a game? I'll tell you why, shall i? The kid more than failed to impress when he was sent out on loan at Galatasaray He has a poor attitude and was often turning up late for training, which is why Harry Redknapp began to get a little pissed off towards him And i believe that he may still be recovering from an injury at the moment

Completely agree with you. They think they can buy their way into success. For me, some of the plays like Tevez, deserve a better club than Man City.

You sound like a little Man U fan boy. At least City fans support their local team!

I agree. I don't like Man City because they promise so many things but at the end they're not gonna win a championship. However, there is a difference between Tottenham and Man City. Tottenham have been playing together for such a long time and they are going NOWHERE. On the other hand Man City is still trying to find a system beacuse they get new players each year. In conclusion, Manchester City isn't what everyone expects, but Tottenham... they need to do better. I HATE REDKNAPP BECAUSE I'M FROM MEXICO AND I KNOW THAT GIOVANI DOS SANTOS HAS A LOT OF TALENT. LET HIM GO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who gives a shit if Man city are buying players? Every other rich team has done it in history before so why can't Man City do it and give their fans something back after a history of non success. Real Madrid do the exact same thing all they do is buy already established stars. You're just annoyed that no-one can really compete with them in the transfer window. You can't really blame them for buying all these players, because they're just trying to build their team just like everyone else. If other teams had City's reasources they would be doing the same thing.

How are they a joke? They are one of the top clubs in England... And some food for thought, don't forget that before the 90s, Barcelona had no European history either. Everybody starts somewhere you glory hunting *******.

This is confusing me like crazy. Is he interested or not?
This is confusing me like crazy. Is he interested or not?
So, this guy who I heard liked me from some friends, actually asked me out on a date today, to go to the cinema. I said yes, and so I went to town to hang out with friends, and told him when he gets to town he should text me so I can come meet him. So I was in town, and I asked him about what time he could get into town so I could plan ahead a bit, and he said he's doing homework and he has to see when he's done. I hung out in town for ages, and it was freezing, so I asked him again, and he said he was too busy with homework to make it. It really ticked me off!! I mean you don't ask a girl out to a date and then say you're too busy doing homework. Anyway, I asked him "so that's it?" and he said "I'm very busy sorry" (this was texting). And I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. So I asked him if he wanted to tag along to ice skating tomorrow with some people from my class, he knows them too, and he said Ok. and that was it. I haven't heard from him since. He's in the grade below me, but actually older than me because I skipped a grade and he's from argentina so there's a half year difference anyway. I don't know him that well yet but he seems really nice. He also seemed interested when we hung out on Friday after school, and I asked to ride his bike (don't ask, it was a thing of the moment thing) which he had described as his baby and he spent a lot of money on, and he even went and switched gears and changed the seat level so I could try it. So it seemed like he liked me. But now he's giving me some other signs again. I like him, I guess, but I don't really know him that well, which was why I agreed to go to the date with him to get to know him better. What do you think? Does he like me, is he confused, did he actually have too much work (it's a Saturday, can't he do the work tomorrow??), or..? And what should I do? I don't want to seem super clingy, but apparently girls like guys who flirt with them, too. ARGHH this is just confusing me a lot. Because all these guys who seem to like me back out at the last second, like this guy who flirted with me A LOT and none of the other girls, and thne suddenly started ignoring me. So what am I doing wrong??

He asked you out so yeah he likes you. Sounds like he had something else going on could have been homework. You over text a guy and he will lose interest fast, we hate needy girls. Just chill and just let him move at his own pace.

He might have just asked you out because some of your friends said that he liked you. He may be ignoring you because he doesn't want to hurt your feelings.

Why? this is like Envy!?
Why? this is like Envy!?
Words of writer from Holand. All places have your positive points and negatives, but in outside they maximize the positive points. However in Brazil they maximize the negative points. Here in Holand, the results of election take far time, because don´t have nothing automated. Have only one telephony company and: if you call complaining about service , your telephone can be temporarily disconected. In United States and Europe, nobody have habit of rolling the sandwich in a napkin, or wash the hands before eat. In bakeries, fairs and butchers of Europe, the attendants receive the money and with same dirty hand give bread or meat. In London, there is a famous place that sell fried potato wrapped in newspaper-and have many people in door. In Europe, no-smoking are minority. If you ask for no-smoking table, the waiter laughs in your face, because not exists. They smoking until in elevator. In Paris, the waiters are know for your bad humor and grossness and any waiter of pub of Brazil can go there to give class of "How to conquer a costumer". You know how the great potencies make to destroy one people?Impose their beliefs and culture. If you stop to observe, in all movie of USA the national flag appears, and and usually the time when we are emotional... The brazilian people have a language, that despite not resemble the Portuguese language, is called of portuguese language, while the enterprises of software called it of brazilian portuguese, because they can not comunicate with your brazilians users across of Portuguese language. The data bellow are of Antropos Consuting: 1-Brazil is the country that has most success in AIDS combat and of another diseases sexually transmitted,and has been world example. 2- Brazil is the only country of south hemisphere that be participating of Genome Project. 3- In a search involving 50 cities several countries, the city of Rio de Janeiro has been considered the most solidary. 4- In elections of 2000, the system of Regional Electoral Court has been informatized in all regions of Brazil, with results in less of 24 hours after the begin of counting of votes. The model called the attention of one of biggest World potencies: the United States, where the counting of votes has that be redone many times, delaying the result and puting the credibility of process in doubt. 5- Same being a country in development, the brazilians users represent one slice of 40 percent of market in Latin America. 6-In Brazil, there are 14 plants of vehicles installed and others 4 being installing, while some neigbours countries don´t have. 7- Of the childrens between 7 and 14 years-old, 97,3% are studing. 8- The market of cellphones of Brazil is the second of the World, with 650.000 new habilitations each month. 9-In fixed telephony the country ranked fifth in number of lines installed. 10- Of the brazilian enterprises, 6890 have the quality certified ISO - 9000, most number among the countries in development. In Mexico, are just 300 enterprises and 265 in Argentina. 11-The Brazil is the second biggest market of jets and helicopters executives. Why you don´t say about : 1- The book market in Brazil is biggest that of the Italy, with most of 50.000 new titles each year? 2- That Brazil have the most modern bank system of the planet? 3-That your Advertising Agencies win the better World awards? 4- Why don´t say that the Brazil is the country most enterprising of the World and that most of 70% of the brazilians ,poor and rich, devote a considerable portion of their time in volunteer work? 5- Why you don´t say that Brazil is today the third biggest democracy of the World? 6- That despite all the corruption, the congress be punishing your own members, what rarely happen in another countries who claim "CIVILIZATED"? So, Stop say bad of my country, because all places have your positives and negatives points! This is like envy

what? I live in the USA and I never "hear bad stuff about Brazil". but you are right in your last sentence about all places having positives and negatives, therefore, I really don't understand why you talked down USA, London, and misc places in Europe while putting Brazil on a pedestal.

Uh... What?? I speak English and am from the United States, and I could barely understand that. From what I could grasp, that article is full of untrue statements and irrelevant comments. We are not in the habit of rolling sandwiches in napkins or washing our hands? What? I don't know for sure what is meant by that sandwich bit, but every time I buy a sandwich it comes wrapped up in paper... Plus, there are stickers in every store bathroom saying that employees must wash their hands, so I would in fact say that we are well versed in the fine art of hand washing. I don't understand what that whole thing was supposed to be about. We went from sandwichs to smoking to AIDS and discussed how an American flag is present in every single emotional scene in an American film because we are rudely trying to impose our culture upon others (oh, how I love sarcasm). In conclusion, that was a horrendously written piece, and I do not understand what it is that you are asking. Have a nice day. *Edit: I reread this, and I am absolutely thrilled to take note of how many cell phones Brazil sells and how outstanding the telephone service is. The writer is really desperately grabbing at cool facts here, aren't they? I find the fact that they take pride in their phones to be quite humorous. Unfortunately my rude teenage sarcasm will be lost on the person who asked this question.
