Health care joke in America?

Who else thinks Obama’s health care plan is a joke. The health care in America is a joke, and will continue to be, all they want is patients to keep coming back to pay them money to pay for their college educations. I have had dental treatment in another country, while their technology was behind, their services was much much better. I have also studied Swedens Mental health and they know more about depression than they do here in America. The mental health system is a joke, since when do repeat DUI offenders and Meth heads have rights. Obama needs to wake up and face facts and reality, look at Micheal jackson as they was clearly after his money and destroyed the man with prescription drugs to get his money. Obama has alot of other problems that need attention, even his own old country I don’t think wants him.




interview questions for teaching an online class?

hey guys, i managed to get an interview to teach an online art class. but i’m not sure what kind of questions the interviewer will ask, so i’m not sure how to prepare. it isn’t until tomorrow at 6:00pm so i really need to get going on that. i have gone over the traditional teacher interview questions such as classroom management, why you chose this career, why should we hire you but i need to know the questions and answers that would be relevant to landing an online teaching job.
any help would be appreciated. thanks.




Am I wrong?

I am currently a college student in this program going directly to dental school. My first semester grades didn’t turn out too well at all and they want me to stop hanging with friends which are not the problem. They don’t care if i do well or not, they just want me to stop hanging out with them, especially my boyfriend. They say he is trying to trick me and he lies but they don’t know him because they were too close minded to want to learn about him after hearing his future plans. They want me to be with Ivy League quality and/or rich people. They once called the police and threatened a restraining order on my boyfriend.
They tried to guilt me into the fact of all the money they are spending on my education (.5 million for undergrad/dental school) which is not making me want to continue, it’s making me just want to quit. Befriending these people isn’t the problem, it’s my own life and it’s the only thing making me happy. I am 18 years old and i want to learn for myself. Am i wrong?




i was thinking about getting my mba so i can teach online classes. what is the average salary for teaching 1 online class?




Do you think "The Donald" should get a copy of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights? Don’t you just love it when the pampered ask a single question on Yahoo Answers, thus letting us know that they are in touch with we the turnip eaters? My kids are hungry, have no clothes, are sent to war, work in Walmart, no health care, no dental, out-sourced, no education, and I got some princess asking me for something to give on father’s day when my father is overseas fighting to give Ivanka an answer to her question?! I’m laughing my a** off how we continue to grovel at the feet of the privledged! And, furthermore…, wait a minute…, I got the tax collector at the door…, no it’s the sheriff…, it’s Con Edison…, it’s NAMBLA, no it’s AIPAC, no it’s a Homeless dude! It’s okay! I gave him a tie and he said thank you! He just wanted it to hang himself with it! Whew! I thought I had problems!
Hey BeachSaint, don’t get mad because you got cut from the "Apprentice!" Don’t worry I got a tie for you! Here I’ll sing you a lullabye before you take your prozac. Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little…….. I guess it kicked in?!
Buttercup, I complain for your children. And their children’s children. To be fair. I have no children. I would not bring my children into a world of slavery and "involuntary servitude." You think by working 60 hour workdays and having your country outsourced, and complaining about the denuding of our nation is infantile. Think again! The rich and the privledged can give a s**t whether you live or die. Quick! Your brownies are burning up!
Jules & LeAnn, what can I say with my rant? You WOMEN understand! I live in New York. I see the bu**s**t everyday. I’ve seen Chelsea Clinton carried out from a nightclub because of to much booze. I know that both Bush girls like to get titties licked at Bungalow 8. I understand kids do these things. We have to be understanding and tolerant. We were all there in some form or another. That’s life. But, don’t try and b**ls**t me when we got 3000 dead civilians, 343 firefighters, 24 cops and over 3000 dead soldiers in Iraq. If you won’t to give the American people a NOOSE, don’t send their children with a necktie!
Buttercup, just like Ivanka, I can’t email you. Typical! Only the followers and the privledged don’t believe in accountability. You have my email sychophant. If you want an education email me. Just don’t do it from Bungalow 8!




My wife and I have been stellar parents and we were surprised by 2 CPS workers on friday, 04/17/09, they stated that they had a report that we were smoking pot with our 14 yr old daughter and giving her vicodin. They searched our house briefly, checked our food supply, running water…ect, and all was fine. I showed them my daughters precribed .5 vicodin bottle from her dentist. I had been assaulted by my 24 yr old stepson about a week earlier and pressed charges against him. WE DO NOT smoke pot or take any other illegal drugs and have never smoked pot with our daughter. I am sure this is angry revenge tactic of my stepson, he was the only one that knew our daughter was having dental work and had been prescibed vicodin.When the workers handed us forms to go to the Crime Lab to get drug tested I stated "If we are supposedly smoking pot with our daughter, why not test her also? My understanding once a file is made on us, even if found "unfounded" as it will, it will show we were investigated by CPS on our records for 10 years! I have raise 5 step children and 2 daughters of my own (7 total), I have always wanted to have children and when I married my wife,along with taking on 5 kids, many thought I was crazy! Yes she was raising them on welfare, but then I stepped up and gave them a life they had never had, new school clothes, Cheer leading, Go Kart racing and overall stability. Our oldest continued her education (with our asistance) and she now has her Bachelors and Masters Degree’s. I am so insualted and angry and its so obvious that this is just revenge for throwing out my lazy 24 yr old stepson that I have help so much and was physically assualted serverly in my face as he left, he has had 3 children by the time he was 21, all on welfare and now are in foster care due to CPS, and rightfully so! I believe I am protected by the HEPA law for my personal medicines that is my own private information. I have nothing to hide and they will not find any illegal drugs in either of us, its just the point that he (my stepson) can still keep "slapping me in the face", yet they can’t find him to arrest him. This is his 2nd assault charge also. PLEASE give me any advice you have, I am pursueing legal advice today. 04/20/09…………………..Thank-You, RAS




My online health teacher is a firefighter as his day job, and teaches online classes during his free time. He has his masters. But mind you, this is a community college.

This influenced my plan… I would like to work as a police officer, and teach online criminal justice classes at a UNIVERSITY. Would this require a masters in criminal justice, or a phD?




I’m a biology major finishing my BS this summer and I’ve always wanted to work in a hospital! I’ve been thinking lately that I should continue my education since the economy is going to s**t and I want a better paying job. My question is which of these certifications is easiest and which one pays the most money?:

These are the certification programs that my college has:

Alternative Nutrition, Applied Gerontology, Biotechnology, EKG Technician, Dental Assistant, Medical Assistant, Medical Billing and Coding, Pharmacy Technician and something called Nursing Informatics.

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




i just got my master’s and want to teach online to supplement my income. i’d like to hear from people who have already done this… which pay the best, which have flexible schedules, etc.? Thanks!!

Is this enough to live on?

Right now I’m going to school to be a dental assistant. They make decent money and are in high demand. I got this at bls.gov

Median hourly earnings of dental assistants were .53 in May 2006. The middle 50 percent earned between .94 and .44 an hour. The lowest 10 percent earned less than .87, and the highest 10 percent earned more than .69 an hour.

Benefits vary substantially by practice setting and may be contingent upon full-time employment. According to the American Dental Association, 87 percent of dentists offer reimbursement for continuing education courses taken by their assistants.

Do you know and dental assistants? Will I be struggling to get by on this salary?

choosing a career – teeth or food?

I’ve been rattling my brain over what my career path i want to take. I’m leaning towards dental hygiene or culinary arts. I excel in both subjects. My only worry is that the programs at the technical college in my area (where i have to be at the moment) will not suffice. would i have to go to a culinary arts academy school to continue my education? will the education i get from this school be enough to help me become a dental hygienist?

here’s the school’s link:

Anyone else miss the Clinton/Obama debates?




Hi. I am a 20 year old currently living at home who just found out I am pregnant with my boyfriend’s baby. We have been together for nearly 5 years and we are both 20 year old juniors in college. We had planned on getting married in about 2 or 3 years and starting a family a year or two after that. Now, however, we find ourselves having to come up with a new plan.

I am about 10 weeks along and we are struggling to figure out whether adoption or keeping the baby is the right answer. Neither of us believe abortion is the right answer, so no need to address that! He feels as though adoption is the best decision for all of us (him, the baby, and me), however, I feel like we could make it if we kept the baby.

If we choose to keep the baby, I have offered to work full time as a dental assistant while he continues to pursue his education. We have more support than we could have ever hoped for no matter what we choose. Everyone has offered to help care for the baby while we make ends meet and his mom has even offered to watch the baby while we are at school or work.

His main concern is that we would be forced into a marriage and would not last. However, I have been sure to tell him that we don’t have to get married immediately. Not until we’re ready, really. All I want is to give this baby the chance to live with his/her real parents. We both love kids and have always looked so forward to having children together. Now that it has happened though, it is hell on earth.

I understand that keeping this baby myself is an option, however, because we are committed to each other and had been planning on getting married (still do, just don’t agree when at the moment!), I don’t think I could just leave him because he doesn’t think keeping the baby is the right choice. We have agreed to make a decision TOGETHER and it has been one of the most difficult things either of us have EVER faced.

We are supposed to see a counselor (maybe premarital) starting in a couple weeks to try to figure out how to work through this, but I wanted to see if anyone had advice for us!? We know rushing into a marriage isn’t the right thing, because we WOULD feel forced into it, however, how can we decide whether or not to keep this precious little one?
I have always believed that if you are pregnant you should at least carry the baby. I’ve also always believed that if you are capable of giving a baby a good life, you should keep your baby and love him/her to the very fullest. This is why I don’t know if I could just give my little blessing away. I understand I could bless another family with such a great gift, however, I don’t feel in my heart that it is truly the right answer for us.

Thank you for reading. I really do hope to gain some insight.
