Yahoo Answers Answers Part 53
How is Iraq supposed to form a successful democracy?
Hey Bot,
I think I will be able to better answer your question as soon as the Unites States is able to form its own successful democracy.
Anything before then would just be a theory that I have read about in fiction books that are referred to as “History”.
I’ll let you know if we ever get there!

Is “self-defence” an appropriate excuse for obviously pre-meditated murder?
Hey Mack,
Self defense is as it states — nothing more.
Murder (I don’t know why they have different degree’s) is something that you plan against known persons.
War and “Police Actions” are something that countries partake in to secure their viability and safety on “behalf of their citizens”. While we may not see the nuances of any of the three, it is the court of public opinion that is the ultimate judge. This is why, when Iraq invaded Kuwait, many nations stood side by side in defiance of Iraq. When the U.S. invaded Iraq, we couldn’t get enough countries to the table to have a decent game of bridge.
Public opinion is the glue that keeps these pieces we call Earth from breaking apart.
Just my thoughts,

What is the world’s best bottled spring water?
Hey Shakes,
While I do like Fuji water, it’s the label, I think….
I TRULY like the taste of Palomar. It even tastes good when it is warm. Maybe it’s because it’s local, but of all of them, it’s my fave!

BTW: Did you know that EVIAN spelled backwards is NAIVE!
anyone notice that when items are on special in asda you get one chance to buy them then they don’t appear
Hey Seven,
With all the culture that you Brits got, the Queen, the stuffed shirts in Parliament, Harrods, Bangers and Mash….
Why oh why, haven’t you developed something called the “Rain Check”?
Us backward Yanks across the pond have been using them for years!
Item not there, get a rain-check and comeback when they have ’em in stock!
Cheery Oh!

How can you home roast coffee beans effectively?
Hey Friendship,
First, Hire a professional roaster….!
Well, it’s difficult, maybe not that difficult. The problem stems from the fact that different beans need to be roasted to different levels of “done”, added to that are the fact that there are different styles to roast the same bean.
Lastly, coffee beans can go from done to burned in a matter of seconds — not a cheap lesson to learn.
If you really must know, see about working on a day off for a coffee company that does it’s own roasting. They won’t let you roast, but you can become friendly with the roaster and they will give you some trade tips.

Need help planning company christmas party?
Hey Amy,
I am assuming that this is for your employer. I think a wonderful team building effort would be to have a portion of your Christmas party devoted to:
1). A homeless shelter
2). A Senior Center or Nursing Home.
3). A Children’s center or your local YMCA/YWCA.
4). Project Head Start (they adopt families around your neighborhood during the holidays and arrange for donations.)
5). Toys for Tots.
6). Ask your clergy or social services agency for a project that they know needs assistance.
I would hope that everyone in your work would like this project. I know that you would all feel a great sense of accomplishment by helping out anyone in your community
OR,
The riverboat thing sounds really good too.
