In a tank 6ftx4ftx10ft how many imperial gallons of fresh water will it hold?
30
Reply:6 x 4 x 10 ... x 6.25
will give you 1500 gallons
Reply:240.... 6 times 4 times 10 is 240
Reply:There are 6.228833 imp. gallons in a cubic foot. So 6x4x10x6.228833= 1494.91! call it 1500

How many therms does it take to heat one american (not imperial) gallon of water?
One therm = 100,000 British thermal units
One BTU is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.
One American gallon of water is 231 cubic inches of 231/12*12*12 cubic feet or 0.1337 cubic feet of water.
Thus, to raise the temperature of 1 american gallon of water by 1 degree F needs 0.1337 BTU or 0.000001337 therms.
How many therms does it take to heat one american (not imperial) gallon of water?
What do you mean by "THERMS?" The amount of heat in calories or what time it takes to bring it to the boiling point?
Be more specific in your question in the future.
Us intellectuals have trouble understanding morons.

Where can I buy an Imperial Guinness pint glass with the year logo, like they serve in Dublin, Ireland pubs?
I went to Dublin recently (from the U.S.) and the glasses they served guinness in had the guinness logo on both sides and they also had two different little seals on them. One said PINT, then there was a circle with a squiggly line through the middle and a number on top then what I guess is the year it was made on the bottom (06, 07, etc.) The other also said PINT and had CE then a box with M and the year. I've had no luck finding out how I can buy these, they sell tons of pint glasses with Guinness logos on them but none have that year logo, if I had known they would be so hard to find I would've walked out with a couple but you never think of these things when you're drunk and on vacation. If any locals of Dublin can snag some of these I would gladly send some Euros your way. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

all the best!! bottoms up!
Reply:I dont think that is the year it is the calibration mark to signify that the pint glass corresponds to the ISO or si standard for a pint. Its like a Q!uality controll mark.
The CE is the european standard for a pint and that this has been measured to a calibrated system.
This is Imperial (pint) but maybe not the american system if it was metric you would be asking for a0.56 of a litre of guinness

What were some of the ways that Nixon was an imperial president?
Secrecy would have to top the list. Nixon was obsessed with secrecy and compartmentalized much of the operations of the White House during his term.
Nixon was also very hierarchical. He was a top-down president, with Bob Haldeman was the gate-keeper. There were a small handful of people with access to Nixon, and he kept access limited.
Nixon also abused the power of the federal government to punish his political enemies. He actually had an "Enemies List", primarily political liberals and journalists.
Good site on Nixon with lots of links:

What motives caused the nations of europe to engagein imperial activities?
The same motives that caused the non-european nations to engage in imperialist activities. Expansion is a natural phenomena and not only in the human world. Note the territorial imperative displayed in the animal kingdom. As Bertrand Russel once said "We are all imperialists"!

I have a bottle of Moet & Chandon Nectar Imperial Rose. Is this good for a romantic evening ?
~should I keep this in the fridge ?
I have a bottle of Moet %26amp; Chandon Nectar Imperial Rose. Is this good for a romantic evening ?
The Nectar Impérial from Moët %26amp; Chandon Rosé is a demi-sec rosé Champagne. This has a higher sugar level than a 'brut' or a regular rosé and so tastes sweeter. Furthermore, the 'Nectar Rosé' is produced in much smaller quantites than Moët's other cuvés and so has a much more selective and labour intensive production process (hence the higher price-tag).
A demi-sec would ordinarily be served as a digestif or on its own so would be perfect to serve for a romantic sip either after a candle-lit dinner or on its own with some slushy music.
You will find that it also works very well indeed with chocolate truffles or sweet fruit (cue strawberries and whipped cream!). Enjoy your evening (and your wine).
Reply:Yes...if you are a total puss.
Reply:yum!
Reply:perfect for romance (make sure you use champagne flutes and do not chill the glasses it killes the bubbles) definetly chill the bubbly. make sure when uncorking a sparkling wine you do it pointing away from your face or theirs! and hold the cork(use a napkin/ towel) twist the bottle. enjoy.. you can garnish with strawberries on the edge of the glass!!!! Happy romancing.

Why does the united states still use the imperial system of measurement?
Because we WANT to
Why does the united states still use the imperial system of measurement?
Actually the U.S. uses both methods, the English and the Metric and the hope is that eventually all industries will be switched over to metric.
It is impossible to all of sudden switch from one system to the other. There is no way that all of industry in the U.S. is going to just throw out all their machine tools and spare parts, and start from scratch with a new system.
Reply:Tom K is right, the U.S. is officially on S.I. (International System), but it has never actually been on the Imperial System but instead the U.S. customary system. For example, a U.S. gallon is 80% of an Imperial gallon.
Reply:The United States has a long history of doing things our own way. While most of the world uses metric, we keep the imperial system. A bllion people in the world play and love soccer we refuse to embrace the sport of the world. Instead we embrace American football. We fight for our right to bear arms, even though we have one of the highest murder by firearm rate in the world. We claim that we own the world championship in baseball based on the world series (played only in the US and one Canadian city). Go figure. America takes pride in going against the grain. It's what makes America the land it is today.
In the 1970 there was an initiative to convert to the metric system which failed miserably.
Hope this helps....
Reply:we are too dumb to use metric.
Reply:old habits die hard.
Reply:The cost to change over to Metric is too great, especially since there is no real disadvantage to us for using Imperial.
Reply:Shhhh Don't tell the others, but we are officially on the metric system in the U.S. and have been for years.
The Imperial system is so much more interesting, don't you think? Where else can you find a unit of length called a barleycorn or a hand?
Reply:Probably because of the cost to change over to metric. Think about the amount that would be needed to convert just street signs and markers alone! And thats only the tip of the iceberg.
Reply:There is no real driving force to change, industry already uses metric. The average Joe doesn't know what 21 degrees Celsius feels like, and worse he probably doesn't want to learn. This country is seriously filled with a lot of whinny idiots who would never let that happen. And the government has no economical reason to impose the change.

What's the difference between "Royal Highness" and "Imperial Highness"?
I'm doing a project for school.... so anyone know?
What's the difference between "Royal Highness" and "Imperial Highness"?
Actually Stephen, Maria Alexandrovna was styled "Her Royal and Imperial Highness" in the United Kingdom, not just "Her Royal Highness". In Saxe-Coburg and Gotha where her husband reigned she was referred to as "Her Imperial and Royal Highness".
Originally, kings and emperors were referred to by several different styles, mainly as "highnesses". When the Holy Roman Emperor assumed the style of Majesty, so did the King of France. Thereafter the Holy Roman Emperor called himself "Imperial Majesty" and the French king was a royal "Majesty".
The style of Highness was soon after picked up by the princelings of Europe throughout the 18th century when "title inflation" started to become noticed as a phenomena, and even a trend. They styles of "Royal Highness" and "Imperial Highness" echo the status of the heads of Imperial and Royal families.
Traditionally, an Imperial Highness ranked ahead of a Royal Highness simply because an emperor ranked above a king (therefore the issue of an emperor outranked the issue of a king). In some monarchies, specifically Russia and Austria, imperial issue also used titles higher than prince --- grand duke and archduke, respectively. Again, this was a show of status.
In today's day and age, however, an Imperial Highness is equal with a Royal Highness. The Crown Prince of Japan does not outrank the Crown Princess of Sweden, for instance, simply because he is imperial and she is royal. Precedence today is calculated through different means.
All non-Japanese holders of the style "Imperial Highness" belong to formerly sovereign families. Off the top of my head, those are Austria, Brazil, France (House of Bonaparte), Ethiopia, Germany (the head of the Prussian Royal Family only), Korea, Ottoman Empire, Russia, etc. These families may more strongly observe the distinction between "Imperial" and "Royal", although technically they are all outranked even by the Princes of Monaco and Liechtenstein, who are only Serene Highnesses (the second lowest "Highness", just about "Illustrious Highness").
Holders of *both* the style Imperial Highness and Royal Highness either hold one by birth and one by marriage (this was the case with Maria Alexandrovna of Russia when she married Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, and also with Marie Bonaparte when she married Prince George of Greece and Denmark), both by birth or position (as is the case with all Archdukes and Archduchesses of Austria and with the German Crown Princes and German Crown Princesses) or *both* by marriage (such as when any woman marries an archduke and becomes an archduchess).
Sometimes, however, a woman may not opt to combine "Imperial" and "Royal" and may just used "Imperial Highness" instead. It would seem to be personal choice. For instance, Maria Vladimirovna of Russia never styled herself "Imperial and Royal Highness" when she was a Royal Highness by marriage to Prince Francis William of Prussia.
Reply:"Royal" refers to a king or queen, and "imperial" refers to an emperor. So "Royal Highness" would be the style or form of address of the son or daughter of a king or queen, and "Imperial Highness" would be that of the son or daughter of an emperor.
(Or you could say that "royal" refers to pudding and "imperial" to ice cream, but I don't think Imperial brand ice cream is made any more.)
Reply:Royal Highness (abbreviation HRH) is a style (His Royal Highness or Her Royal Highness); plural Royal Highnesses (abbreviation TRH, Their Royal Highnesses). It appears in front of the names of some members of some royal families other than the King or Queen. The style His/Her Royal Highness is used by members of many European royal families including the British, Danish, Swedish, Spanish, the Dutch and more.
The style His/Her Royal Highness ranks below His/Her Imperial Highness (referring to an Imperial House) but above His/Her Grand Ducal Highness, His/Her Highness, His/Her Serene Highness and some other styles (referring to Grand Ducal, Princely or Ducal Houses).
His/Her Imperial Highness (abbreviation HIH) is a style used by members of an imperial family to denote imperial - as opposed to royal - status to show that the holder in question is descended from an Emperor rather than a King (compare His/Her Royal Highness). It generally outranks all other single styles.
Today the style has mainly fallen from use with the exception of the Imperial Family of Japan, and the descendants of the Imperial Line of Russia who are still addressed as such, although, of course, no longer have any power in Russia. In the past, the style has been applied to more senior members of the French and Korean Imperial Houses.
Reply:An Imperial Highness is the son or daughter of a Emperor, whereas a Royal Highness is the son or daughter of a King or Queen. An Imperial Highness is considered to be higher in rank than a Royal Highness as an Emperor is considered a higher rank than a King.
This sometimes causes trouble in royal protocol. When Her Imperial Highness Grand Duchess Marie Alexandrovna of Russia (the daughter of Tsar Alexander II of Russia) married His Royal Highness Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh (2nd eldest son of Queen Victoria), the Tsar insisted she be styled Imperial Highness rather than Royal Highness as this was a higher style. Victoria refused however, and she was formally styled in the United Kingdom as Royal Highness.
Reply:Royal Highness and Imperial Highness are both used to refer to a princess and prince. Royal Highness is refered to a princess and prince where the rulers are known as a King and Queen and Imperial Highness is refered to a princess and prince where the rulers are known as an Emperer and Emperess. The best example of Imperial highness would be the children of the Russian Emperers and the best example of Royal Highness would be the children of Britian's monarchs.
Reply:To extend what Elizabeth has said, perhaps a better example of Imperial Highness is in Japan where they still have a monarchy
Emperor/ess: HIM = His/Her Imperial Majesty
Children: HIH = His/Her Imperial Higness
King/Queen: HM = His/Her Majesty
Children HRH: His/Her Royal Highness
and for Extra Marks at your school:
Prince/Princess in some countries such as Monaco and for some non-royal Prince/Princesses in Thailand:
HSH = His/Her Serene Highness
Reply:I assume that imperial has something to do with an empire. presumably the title of imperial highness is only used in a country that is ruled by an emporer/ empress.

If it's illegal to sell goods in imperial measurements in the UK, why does beer continue to be sold in pints?
...in pubs, that is.
If it's illegal to sell goods in imperial measurements in the UK, why does beer continue to be sold in pints?
It is not just pints of beer which are an exception to the EU metric standards, UK uses imperial meaurments for signage on roads and speed limits.
The reason is that the UK negotiated an exception (called a derogation) from the EU harmonisation "indefinitely"
In the House of Commons on April 11th 1989 n the then Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Corporate Affairs, Francis Maude said
" Now, let us consider the detail of the [European] Commission's proposals. The first proposal covers the mile, yard, foot and inch for road transport purposes, the pint for dispensing draught beer and cider, the pint for milk in returnable bottles, and the acre. We and Ireland would be able to continue to authorise those units for these purposes for as long as we wish, without any need for a further EC decision. "
Reply:MrDave21, a standard pint that is served to us in pubs is actually 568ml and not 650ml as you stated
Reply:Could you imagine going into the pub and asking for a 568ml of lager!
Reply:One word Tradition,it is to much of the British way of life to change.The Powers that be in Bruxelles tried to get it changed, but Britain along with Ireland got a Derogation and kept their Pint. I n Ireland the Street Traders still use LLBS Pounds to weight things such as Fruit and Veg and also some Butchers Shops. The same thing happens when People are buying Lino or Curtains they prefer to use the old Imperial Measurements instead of Metres.
Reply:Have you ever seen anybody try to take an Englishman's pint off him. BODY is the operative word in that phrase.
Reply:See you already know.
it is a colloquial term accepted in the PUB or more accurate the dive. :~)
But in the stores, proper labeling is required.
You got any shillings or pounds?? or did you accept the change to the euro.
Reply:Because 1/2 litre is not enough beer and a whole litre is too much. The pint is a very old and effective measure. Imagine the cost to the drinks industry of replacing all its pint and 1/2 pint measures. Imagine people relearning their personal drinking capacity in litres.
You will wait a long time before the metric system is accepted in the British pub. The idea was put forward in the 1980's and swiftly seen off.
Reply:a 'pint' was redefined to mean 650ml. Therefore it is a 'metric pint'

Does Imperial Washington even care that Americans never wanted the Iraq war?
You would think, in a country that routinely lectures others about democracy, that the government would at least notice when 70% of the country opposes its policy.
But the lies go on, and the war goes on, in blissful ignorance of the wishes of the American people.

"There is no doubt that Saddam Hussein's regime is a serious danger, that he is a tyrant, and that his pursuit of lethal weapons of mass destruction cannot be tolerated. He must be disarmed." Senator Edward Kennedy (Democrat, Massachusetts) Speech at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies September 27, 2002
"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members...
It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."
Senator Hillary Clinton (Democrat, New York)
Addressing the US Senate
October 10, 2002
John Kerry, while voting YES to the Resolution authorizing US military force against Iraq:
"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force - if necessary - to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security."
Senator John Kerry (Democrat, Massachusetts)
Addressing the US Senate
October 9, 2002
"As a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, I firmly believe that the issue of Iraq is not about politics. It's about national security. We know that for at least 20 years, Saddam Hussein has obsessively sought weapons of mass destruction through every means available. We know that he has chemical and biological weapons today. He has used them in the past, and he is doing everything he can to build more. Each day he inches closer to his longtime goal of nuclear capability -- a capability that could be less than a year away.
The path of confronting Saddam is full of hazards. But the path of inaction is far more dangerous. This week, a week where we remember the sacrifice of thousands of innocent Americans made on 9-11, the choice could not be starker. Had we known that such attacks were imminent, we surely would have used every means at our disposal to prevent them and take out the plotters. We cannot wait for such a terrible event -- or, if weapons of mass destruction are used, one far worse -- to address the clear and present danger posed by Saddam Hussein's Iraq."
Senator John Edwards (Democrat, North Carolina)
US Senate floor statement: "Iraqi Dictator Must Go"
September 12, 2002
"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime. We all know the litany of his offenses. He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation. He miscalculated an eight-year war with Iran. He miscalculated the invasion of Kuwait. He miscalculated America's response to that act of naked aggression. He miscalculated the result of setting oil rigs on fire. He miscalculated the impact of sending scuds into Israel and trying to assassinate an American President. He miscalculated his own military strength. He miscalculated the Arab world's response to his misconduct. And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction. That is why the world, through the United Nations Security Council, has spoken with one voice, demanding that Iraq disclose its weapons programs and disarm.
So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real, but it is not new. It has been with us since the end of the Persian Gulf War.
In U.N. Security Council Resolution 1441, the United Nations has now affirmed that Saddam Hussein must disarm or face the most serious consequences. Let me make it clear that the burden is resoundingly on Saddam Hussein to live up to the ceasefire agreement he signed and make clear to the world how he disposed of weapons he previously admitted to possessing."
Senator John Kerry (Democrat, Massachusetts)

Congressman Gephardt links Saddam with the threat of terrorists nuking US cities:
BOB SCHIEFFER, Chief Washington Correspondent:
And with us now is the Democratic presidential candidate Dick Gephardt. Congressman, you supported taking military action in Iraq. Do you think now it was the right thing to do?
REP. RICHARD GEPHARDT, D-MO, Democratic Presidential Candidate:
I do. I base my determination on what I heard from the CIA. I went out there a couple of times and talked to everybody, including George Tenet. I talked to people in the Clinton administration.
SCHIEFFER:
Well, let me just ask you, do you feel, Congressman, that you were misled?
GEPHARDT:
I don't. I asked very direct questions of the top people in the CIA and people who'd served in the Clinton administration. And they said they believed that Saddam Hussein either had weapons or had the components of weapons or the ability to quickly make weapons of mass destruction. What we're worried about is an A-bomb in a Ryder truck in New York, in Washington and St. Louis. It cannot happen. We have to prevent it from happening. And it was on that basis that I voted to do this.
Congressman Richard Gephardt (Democrat, Montana)
Interviewed on CBS News "Face the Nation"
November 2, 2003
"We have not reached parity with them. We have the right to kill 4 million Americans -- 2 million of them children -- and to exile twice as many and wound and cripple hundreds of thousands. Furthermore, it is our right to fight them with chemical and biological weapons, so as to afflict them with the fatal maladies that have afflicted the Muslims because of the [Americans'] chemical and biological weapons."
Islamic terrorist group "Al Qaeda"
June 12, 2002
"[W]e have evidence of meetings between Iraqi officials and leaders of al Qaeda, and testimony that Iraqi agents helped train al Qaeda operatives to use chemical and biological weapons. We also know that al Qaeda leaders have been, and are now, harbored in Iraq.
Having reached the conclusion I have about the clear and present danger Saddam represents to the U.S., I want to give the president a limited but strong mandate to act against Saddam."
Senator Joseph Lieberman (Democrat, Connecticut)
In a Wall Street Journal editorial Lieberman authored titled: "Why Democrats Should Support the President on Iraq"
October 7, 2002
"No one has done what Saddam Hussein has done, or is thinking of doing. He is producing weapons of mass destruction, and he is qualitatively and quantitatively different from other dictators."
Madeleine Albright, President Clinton's Secretary of State
Town Hall Meeting on Iraq at Ohio State University
February 18, 1998
"Ten years after the Gulf War and Saddam is still there and still continues to stockpile weapons of mass destruction. Now there are suggestions he is working with al Qaeda, which means the very terrorists who attacked the United States last September may now have access to chemical and biological weapons."
James P. Rubin, President Clinton's State Department spokesman
In a PBS documentary titled "Saddam's Ultimate Solution"
July 11, 2002
"Dear Mr. President: ... We urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraq sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs."

Letter to President Clinton
Signed by Senators Tom Daschle, John Kerry and others
October 9, 1998
"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to completely deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power.
We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country."
Al Gore, Former Clinton Vice-President
Speech to San Francisco Commonwealth Club
September 23, 2002
"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retained some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capability. Intelligence reports also indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons, but has not yet achieved nuclear capability."
Robert C. Byrd
Former Ku Klux Klan recruiter, currently a US Senator (Democrat, West Virginia)
Addressing the US Senate
October 3, 2002
"His regime threatens the safety of his people, the stability of his region, and the security of all the rest of us.
What if he fails to comply, and we fail to act, or we take some ambiguous third route which gives him yet more opportunities to develop this program of weapons of mass destruction and continue to press for the release of the sanctions and continue to ignore the solemn commitments that he made?
Well, he will conclude that the international community has lost its will. He will then conclude that he can go right on and do more to rebuild an arsenal of devastating destruction.
And some day, some way, I guarantee you, he'll use the arsenal."
President Clinton
Address to Joint Chiefs of Staff and Pentagon staff
February 17, 1998
Regime change in Iraq has been official US policy since 1998:
The Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 (sponsored by Bob Kerrey, John McCain, and Joseph Lieberman, and signed into law by President Clinton) states:
"It should be the policy of the United States to support efforts to remove the regime headed by Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq and to promote the emergence of a democratic government to replace that regime."
Iraq Liberation Act of 1998
105th Congress, 2nd Session
September 29, 1998
"The global community -- in the form of the United Nations -- has declared repeatedly, through multiple resolutions, that the frightening prospect of a nuclear-armed Saddam cannot come to pass. But the U.N. has been unable to enforce those resolutions. We must eliminate that threat now, before it is too late.
But this isn't just a future threat. Saddam's existing biological and chemical weapons capabilities pose a very real threat to America, now. Saddam has used chemical weapons before, both against Iraq's enemies and against his own people. He is working to develop delivery systems like missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles that could bring these deadly weapons against U.S. forces and U.S. facilities in the Middle East.
As the attacks of September 11 demonstrated, the immense destructiveness of modern technology means we can no longer afford to wait around for a smoking gun. September 11 demonstrated that the fact that an attack on our homeland has not yet occurred cannot give us any false sense of security that one will not occur in the future. We no longer have that luxury.
September 11 changed America. It made us realize we must deal differently with the very real threat of terrorism, whether it comes from shadowy groups operating in the mountains of Afghanistan or in 70 other countries around the world, including our own.
There has been some debate over how "imminent" a threat Iraq poses. I do believe that Iraq poses an imminent threat, but I also believe that after September 11, that question is increasingly outdated. It is in the nature of these weapons, and the way they are targeted against civilian populations, that documented capability and demonstrated intent may be the only warning we get. To insist on further evidence could put some of our fellow Americans at risk. Can we afford to take that chance? We cannot!
The President has rightly called Saddam Hussein's efforts to develop weapons of mass destruction a grave and gathering threat to Americans. The global community has tried but failed to address that threat over the past decade. I have come to the inescapable conclusion that the threat posed to America by Saddam's weapons of mass destruction is so serious that despite the risks -- and we should not minimize the risks -- we must authorize the President to take the necessary steps to deal with that threat."
Senator John D. Rockefeller (Democrat, West Virginia)
Also a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee
Addressing the US Senate
October 10, 2002
"He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do. He lies and cheats; he snubs the mandate and authority of international weapons inspectors; and he games the system to keep buying time against enforcement of the just and legitimate demands of the United Nations, the Security Council, the United States and our allies. Those are simply the facts."
Reply:In its present state, the US government had become a virtual dictatorship. Just a month ago, I've seen on TV when GW Bush and then later, presidential spokesman Tony Snow issued statements that said "Public opinion doesn't matter to us. We will continue to pursue our mission in Iraq, no matter how unpopular this war may become".
Take that from a president who embarked on invading another soverign nation, on the supposed notion of spreading democracy in the Middle East.
Now, that same president is refusing to listen to the vast majority of the American people's voices. He even subverted the US constitution and enacted laws that curtailed civil rights and liberties. Were all of these his ideals of a democracy?. When the sentiments of the few prevails over the sentiments of the majority, can you call that a democracy?. That is not democracy, but a blatant mockery of democracy.
Reply:I know that was quite a few Hookah Hits ago ,but the war had
popular support and very few opposed it .
Reply:Hey, it's funny how democrats suddenly 'politicized' this war when in fact, it's Bush's 'politicized' war. He and his closed door politicians insisted on it, went to great lengths to get the congressional/UN by force, ok on it,even lied about aspects of the reasoning for it, but didn't scope out an exit plan or figure on the backlash of disgruntled and dissappoined Americans with the actualities of it. In other words, the President didn't have the first clue about going to, engaging in and finishing a war of any kind. Now it's going to be up to another president to figure out a way to get America out of this mess and hopefully not have to pay damages to Iraqies everywhere.
example
""WASHINGTON (CNN) -- If he knew then what he knows now, he might have made some different decisions before the start of the Iraq war in 2003, the outgoing chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff told reporters Friday.
Outgoing Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Peter Pace says he now thinks more troops were needed at the war's start.
"One of the mistakes I made in my assumptions going in was that the Iraqi people and the Iraqi Army would welcome liberation, that the Iraqi Army, given the opportunity, would stand together for the Iraqi people and be available to them to help serve the new nation," Gen. Peter Pace said.
But "they disintegrated in the face of the coalition's first several weeks of combat, so they weren't here," Pace said.
Had he known that would happen, he would have recommended more troops be sent at the outset of the Iraq war, he said.""
But, they DID know, they just won't admit that it were liberals and conservatives had TOLD them this was necessary and the it was a fools errand in the first place, years BEFORE they rode down all cocky on Iraq. Excusifying is all it is. Plain and Simple.Don't believe me, ask GHW Bush.
Reply:this is too big for you. the problem is they know things you dont and you think you know it all! Americans didnt want war in 1914 or 1941 either, but the presidents knew better. just support the troops and shut up!
Reply:Well 70% of Americans supported the war when we went in.
I still support it. What is strange is that only 14% of our military consider itself to be Democrats.
So why should the military even care what Democrats think? They don't serve. All they do is call our troops too lazy and stupid to do well in school so they got 'stuck in Iraq', they don't support General Petraeus, the don't support the mission, they don't support the Commander in Chief, they rush to guilty judgements on any soldier accused of a crime in Iraq (Haditha, anyone?), accuse our soldiers of terrorizing Iraqi's, and spout the enemy's propaganda - yet they somehow still claim to support the troops.
It seems like the Dems are the ones who are lying when they say they support the troops (or America).
Reply:From the historical accounts I have read, middle America did not want WWII, either. Middle America is busy pursuing whatever their version is of the American dream.
That's why we vote for representatives and a President. So they make the tough decisions. And that's why they get the big bucks.
I didn't want to go. But when our nation, Democrats included, voted to go, I supported our nation's right to do it. I still do.
But while middle America is screaming about wanting the war to end, Democrats are capitalizing on the sentiment and doing nothing real. And it's tearing the nation apart at the seams.
ADDED: The greatest injustice of modern public education is that our children have been told the US is a Democracy. This is fallacious. We are and have been, since day one, a Constitutional Republic (a Democratic-Republic if you prefer that term). Our nation is governed by our 3 branches. We the people get a vote and a voice and we have been using our voice to spew trash.
Reply:Another ignorant liberal who makes stuff up as he goes along.
Just because you libs keep repeating your left-wing socialist mantra doesn't make it true.
Reply:obviously not, as many Congressmen have admitted to not even reading any earmarks on bills before voting for them.
If they can't even do that part of their job right, why would they have chosen to vote against invading Iraq?
Do Congressmen even read the letters and emails of the American people, saying what they stand for? I would say in most cases, they don't.
They're too busy wanting their own earmarks, about issues that somehow concern themselves, to pass through.
Reply:Freaky: You are wrong again. None of what you say is true. How do you justify making such libelous statements on this site? Are you anti-American? If so, why not just say it?
Reply:I wanted the war in iraq .
Reply:um...perhaps you may not remember that far back, but their was incredible support for this war. That is why a there was a landslide vote in favor of giving President Bush the power to do what he needed to do. Don't be as dumb as your politicians think you are.
Reply:That's funny, as I recall the vast majority, like 80 percent were all in favor of the war, both dems and republicans. Get your facts straight.
Reply:the ppl n so call "Imperial Washington " rnt allowed 2 vote, cuz its said tht if they vote they will have more power.
Reply:"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."
Reply:the lies are coming from the terrorists and the democrats...i cannot see the difference between them anymore.
Reply:That number is a very biased number. The questions on surveys only allow a choice of four answers at the most,
Very satisfied
satisfied
unsatisfied
very unsatisfied
Even with the bias those numbers did not appear until a year and a half ago. At the time we entered the war the American people were at 90% approval.
But the lies go on, and the war goes on, in blissful ignorance of the wishes of the American people.

"It appears that with the deadline for exile come and gone, Saddam Hussein has chosen to make military force the ultimate weapons inspections enforcement mechanism. If so, the only exit strategy is victory, this is our common mission and the world's cause."
Senator John Kerry (Democrat, Massachusetts)
Statement on commencement of military strikes against Iraq
March 20, 2003
Senator John Edwards, when asked about "Axis of Evil" countries Iran, Iraq, and North Korea:
"I mean, we have three different countries that, while they all present serious problems for the United States -- they're dictatorships, they're involved in the development and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction -- you know, the most imminent, clear and present threat to our country is not the same from those three countries. I think Iraq is the most serious and imminent threat to our country."
Senator John Edwards (Democrat, North Carolina)
During an interview on CNN's "Late Edition"
February 24, 2002
"Those who doubted whether Iraq or the world would be better off without Saddam Hussein, and those who believe today that we are not safer with his capture, don't have the judgment to be President, or the credibility to be elected President.
No one can doubt or should doubt that we are safer -- and Iraq is better -- because Saddam Hussein is now behind bars."
Senator John Kerry (Democrat, Massachusetts)
Speech at Drake University in Iowa
December 16, 2003
John Edwards, while voting YES to the Resolution authorizing US military force against Iraq:
"Others argue that if even our allies support us, we should not support this resolution because confronting Iraq now would undermine the long-term fight against terrorist groups like Al Qaeda. Yet, I believe that this is not an either-or choice. Our national security requires us to do both, and we can."
Senator John Edwards (Democrat, North Carolina)
US Senate floor statement: "Authorization of the Use of
United States Armed Forces Against Iraq"
October 10, 2002
"I think it was the right decision to disarm Saddam Hussein. And when the president made the decision, I supported him, and I support the fact that we did disarm him."
Senator John Kerry (Democrat, Massachusetts)
During a Democratic Primary Debate at the University of South Carolina
May 3, 2003
"There is no doubt that Saddam Hussein's regime is a serious danger, that he is a tyrant, and that his pursuit of lethal weapons of mass destruction cannot be tolerated. He must be disarmed." Senator Edward Kennedy (Democrat, Massachusetts) Speech at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies September 27, 2002
"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members...
It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."
Senator Hillary Clinton (Democrat, New York)
Addressing the US Senate
October 10, 2002
John Kerry, while voting YES to the Resolution authorizing US military force against Iraq:
"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force - if necessary - to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security."
Senator John Kerry (Democrat, Massachusetts)
Addressing the US Senate
October 9, 2002
"As a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, I firmly believe that the issue of Iraq is not about politics. It's about national security. We know that for at least 20 years, Saddam Hussein has obsessively sought weapons of mass destruction through every means available. We know that he has chemical and biological weapons today. He has used them in the past, and he is doing everything he can to build more. Each day he inches closer to his longtime goal of nuclear capability -- a capability that could be less than a year away.
The path of confronting Saddam is full of hazards. But the path of inaction is far more dangerous. This week, a week where we remember the sacrifice of thousands of innocent Americans made on 9-11, the choice could not be starker. Had we known that such attacks were imminent, we surely would have used every means at our disposal to prevent them and take out the plotters. We cannot wait for such a terrible event -- or, if weapons of mass destruction are used, one far worse -- to address the clear and present danger posed by Saddam Hussein's Iraq."
Senator John Edwards (Democrat, North Carolina)
US Senate floor statement: "Iraqi Dictator Must Go"
September 12, 2002
"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime. We all know the litany of his offenses. He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation. He miscalculated an eight-year war with Iran. He miscalculated the invasion of Kuwait. He miscalculated America's response to that act of naked aggression. He miscalculated the result of setting oil rigs on fire. He miscalculated the impact of sending scuds into Israel and trying to assassinate an American President. He miscalculated his own military strength. He miscalculated the Arab world's response to his misconduct. And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction. That is why the world, through the United Nations Security Council, has spoken with one voice, demanding that Iraq disclose its weapons programs and disarm.
So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real, but it is not new. It has been with us since the end of the Persian Gulf War.
In U.N. Security Council Resolution 1441, the United Nations has now affirmed that Saddam Hussein must disarm or face the most serious consequences. Let me make it clear that the burden is resoundingly on Saddam Hussein to live up to the ceasefire agreement he signed and make clear to the world how he disposed of weapons he previously admitted to possessing."
Senator John Kerry (Democrat, Massachusetts)
Speech at Georgetown University
January 23, 2003
Congressman Gephardt links Saddam with the threat of terrorists nuking US cities:
BOB SCHIEFFER, Chief Washington Correspondent:
And with us now is the Democratic presidential candidate Dick Gephardt. Congressman, you supported taking military action in Iraq. Do you think now it was the right thing to do?
REP. RICHARD GEPHARDT, D-MO, Democratic Presidential Candidate:
I do. I base my determination on what I heard from the CIA. I went out there a couple of times and talked to everybody, including George Tenet. I talked to people in the Clinton administration.
SCHIEFFER:
Well, let me just ask you, do you feel, Congressman, that you were misled?
GEPHARDT:
I don't. I asked very direct questions of the top people in the CIA and people who'd served in the Clinton administration. And they said they believed that Saddam Hussein either had weapons or had the components of weapons or the ability to quickly make weapons of mass destruction. What we're worried about is an A-bomb in a Ryder truck in New York, in Washington and St. Louis. It cannot happen. We have to prevent it from happening. And it was on that basis that I voted to do this.
Congressman Richard Gephardt (Democrat, Montana)
Interviewed on CBS News "Face the Nation"
November 2, 2003
"We have not reached parity with them. We have the right to kill 4 million Americans -- 2 million of them children -- and to exile twice as many and wound and cripple hundreds of thousands. Furthermore, it is our right to fight them with chemical and biological weapons, so as to afflict them with the fatal maladies that have afflicted the Muslims because of the [Americans'] chemical and biological weapons."
Islamic terrorist group "Al Qaeda"
June 12, 2002
"[W]e have evidence of meetings between Iraqi officials and leaders of al Qaeda, and testimony that Iraqi agents helped train al Qaeda operatives to use chemical and biological weapons. We also know that al Qaeda leaders have been, and are now, harbored in Iraq.
Having reached the conclusion I have about the clear and present danger Saddam represents to the U.S., I want to give the president a limited but strong mandate to act against Saddam."
Senator Joseph Lieberman (Democrat, Connecticut)
In a Wall Street Journal editorial Lieberman authored titled: "Why Democrats Should Support the President on Iraq"
October 7, 2002
"No one has done what Saddam Hussein has done, or is thinking of doing. He is producing weapons of mass destruction, and he is qualitatively and quantitatively different from other dictators."
Madeleine Albright, President Clinton's Secretary of State
Town Hall Meeting on Iraq at Ohio State University
February 18, 1998
"Ten years after the Gulf War and Saddam is still there and still continues to stockpile weapons of mass destruction. Now there are suggestions he is working with al Qaeda, which means the very terrorists who attacked the United States last September may now have access to chemical and biological weapons."
James P. Rubin, President Clinton's State Department spokesman
In a PBS documentary titled "Saddam's Ultimate Solution"
July 11, 2002
"Dear Mr. President: ... We urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraq sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs."
Sincerely,
Carl Levin, Joe Lieberman, Frank R. Lautenberg, Dick Lugar, Kit Bond, Jon Kyl, Chris Dodd, John McCain, Kay Bailey Hutchison, Alfonse D'Amato, Bob Kerrey, Pete V. Domenici, Dianne Feinstein, Barbara A. Mikulski, Thomas Daschle, John Breaux, Tim Johnson, Daniel K. Inouye, Arlen Specter, James Inhofe, Strom Thurmond, Mary L. Landrieu, Wendell Ford, John Kerry, Chuck Grassley, Jesse Helms, Rick Santorum.
Letter to President Clinton
Signed by Senators Tom Daschle, John Kerry and others
October 9, 1998
"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to completely deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power.
We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country."
Al Gore, Former Clinton Vice-President
Speech to San Francisco Commonwealth Club
September 23, 2002
"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retained some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capability. Intelligence reports also indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons, but has not yet achieved nuclear capability."
Robert C. Byrd
Former Ku Klux Klan recruiter, currently a US Senator (Democrat, West Virginia)
Addressing the US Senate
October 3, 2002
"His regime threatens the safety of his people, the stability of his region, and the security of all the rest of us.
What if he fails to comply, and we fail to act, or we take some ambiguous third route which gives him yet more opportunities to develop this program of weapons of mass destruction and continue to press for the release of the sanctions and continue to ignore the solemn commitments that he made?
Well, he will conclude that the international community has lost its will. He will then conclude that he can go right on and do more to rebuild an arsenal of devastating destruction.
And some day, some way, I guarantee you, he'll use the arsenal."
President Clinton
Address to Joint Chiefs of Staff and Pentagon staff
February 17, 1998
Regime change in Iraq has been official US policy since 1998:
The Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 (sponsored by Bob Kerrey, John McCain, and Joseph Lieberman, and signed into law by President Clinton) states:
"It should be the policy of the United States to support efforts to remove the regime headed by Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq and to promote the emergence of a democratic government to replace that regime."
Iraq Liberation Act of 1998
105th Congress, 2nd Session
September 29, 1998
"The global community -- in the form of the United Nations -- has declared repeatedly, through multiple resolutions, that the frightening prospect of a nuclear-armed Saddam cannot come to pass. But the U.N. has been unable to enforce those resolutions. We must eliminate that threat now, before it is too late.
But this isn't just a future threat. Saddam's existing biological and chemical weapons capabilities pose a very real threat to America, now. Saddam has used chemical weapons before, both against Iraq's enemies and against his own people. He is working to develop delivery systems like missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles that could bring these deadly weapons against U.S. forces and U.S. facilities in the Middle East.
As the attacks of September 11 demonstrated, the immense destructiveness of modern technology means we can no longer afford to wait around for a smoking gun. September 11 demonstrated that the fact that an attack on our homeland has not yet occurred cannot give us any false sense of security that one will not occur in the future. We no longer have that luxury.
September 11 changed America. It made us realize we must deal differently with the very real threat of terrorism, whether it comes from shadowy groups operating in the mountains of Afghanistan or in 70 other countries around the world, including our own.
There has been some debate over how "imminent" a threat Iraq poses. I do believe that Iraq poses an imminent threat, but I also believe that after September 11, that question is increasingly outdated. It is in the nature of these weapons, and the way they are targeted against civilian populations, that documented capability and demonstrated intent may be the only warning we get. To insist on further evidence could put some of our fellow Americans at risk. Can we afford to take that chance? We cannot!
The President has rightly called Saddam Hussein's efforts to develop weapons of mass destruction a grave and gathering threat to Americans. The global community has tried but failed to address that threat over the past decade. I have come to the inescapable conclusion that the threat posed to America by Saddam's weapons of mass destruction is so serious that despite the risks -- and we should not minimize the risks -- we must authorize the President to take the necessary steps to deal with that threat."
Senator John D. Rockefeller (Democrat, West Virginia)
Also a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee
Addressing the US Senate
October 10, 2002
"He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do. He lies and cheats; he snubs the mandate and authority of international weapons inspectors; and he games the system to keep buying time against enforcement of the just and legitimate demands of the United Nations, the Security Council, the United States and our allies. Those are simply the facts."
Reply:In its present state, the US government had become a virtual dictatorship. Just a month ago, I've seen on TV when GW Bush and then later, presidential spokesman Tony Snow issued statements that said "Public opinion doesn't matter to us. We will continue to pursue our mission in Iraq, no matter how unpopular this war may become".
Take that from a president who embarked on invading another soverign nation, on the supposed notion of spreading democracy in the Middle East.
Now, that same president is refusing to listen to the vast majority of the American people's voices. He even subverted the US constitution and enacted laws that curtailed civil rights and liberties. Were all of these his ideals of a democracy?. When the sentiments of the few prevails over the sentiments of the majority, can you call that a democracy?. That is not democracy, but a blatant mockery of democracy.
Reply:I know that was quite a few Hookah Hits ago ,but the war had
popular support and very few opposed it .
Reply:Hey, it's funny how democrats suddenly 'politicized' this war when in fact, it's Bush's 'politicized' war. He and his closed door politicians insisted on it, went to great lengths to get the congressional/UN by force, ok on it,even lied about aspects of the reasoning for it, but didn't scope out an exit plan or figure on the backlash of disgruntled and dissappoined Americans with the actualities of it. In other words, the President didn't have the first clue about going to, engaging in and finishing a war of any kind. Now it's going to be up to another president to figure out a way to get America out of this mess and hopefully not have to pay damages to Iraqies everywhere.
example
""WASHINGTON (CNN) -- If he knew then what he knows now, he might have made some different decisions before the start of the Iraq war in 2003, the outgoing chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff told reporters Friday.
Outgoing Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Peter Pace says he now thinks more troops were needed at the war's start.
"One of the mistakes I made in my assumptions going in was that the Iraqi people and the Iraqi Army would welcome liberation, that the Iraqi Army, given the opportunity, would stand together for the Iraqi people and be available to them to help serve the new nation," Gen. Peter Pace said.
But "they disintegrated in the face of the coalition's first several weeks of combat, so they weren't here," Pace said.
Had he known that would happen, he would have recommended more troops be sent at the outset of the Iraq war, he said.""
But, they DID know, they just won't admit that it were liberals and conservatives had TOLD them this was necessary and the it was a fools errand in the first place, years BEFORE they rode down all cocky on Iraq. Excusifying is all it is. Plain and Simple.Don't believe me, ask GHW Bush.
Reply:this is too big for you. the problem is they know things you dont and you think you know it all! Americans didnt want war in 1914 or 1941 either, but the presidents knew better. just support the troops and shut up!
Reply:Well 70% of Americans supported the war when we went in.
I still support it. What is strange is that only 14% of our military consider itself to be Democrats.
So why should the military even care what Democrats think? They don't serve. All they do is call our troops too lazy and stupid to do well in school so they got 'stuck in Iraq', they don't support General Petraeus, the don't support the mission, they don't support the Commander in Chief, they rush to guilty judgements on any soldier accused of a crime in Iraq (Haditha, anyone?), accuse our soldiers of terrorizing Iraqi's, and spout the enemy's propaganda - yet they somehow still claim to support the troops.
It seems like the Dems are the ones who are lying when they say they support the troops (or America).
Reply:From the historical accounts I have read, middle America did not want WWII, either. Middle America is busy pursuing whatever their version is of the American dream.
That's why we vote for representatives and a President. So they make the tough decisions. And that's why they get the big bucks.
I didn't want to go. But when our nation, Democrats included, voted to go, I supported our nation's right to do it. I still do.
But while middle America is screaming about wanting the war to end, Democrats are capitalizing on the sentiment and doing nothing real. And it's tearing the nation apart at the seams.
ADDED: The greatest injustice of modern public education is that our children have been told the US is a Democracy. This is fallacious. We are and have been, since day one, a Constitutional Republic (a Democratic-Republic if you prefer that term). Our nation is governed by our 3 branches. We the people get a vote and a voice and we have been using our voice to spew trash.
Reply:Another ignorant liberal who makes stuff up as he goes along.
Just because you libs keep repeating your left-wing socialist mantra doesn't make it true.
Reply:obviously not, as many Congressmen have admitted to not even reading any earmarks on bills before voting for them.
If they can't even do that part of their job right, why would they have chosen to vote against invading Iraq?
Do Congressmen even read the letters and emails of the American people, saying what they stand for? I would say in most cases, they don't.
They're too busy wanting their own earmarks, about issues that somehow concern themselves, to pass through.
Reply:Freaky: You are wrong again. None of what you say is true. How do you justify making such libelous statements on this site? Are you anti-American? If so, why not just say it?
Reply:I wanted the war in iraq .
Reply:um...perhaps you may not remember that far back, but their was incredible support for this war. That is why a there was a landslide vote in favor of giving President Bush the power to do what he needed to do. Don't be as dumb as your politicians think you are.
Reply:That's funny, as I recall the vast majority, like 80 percent were all in favor of the war, both dems and republicans. Get your facts straight.
Reply:the ppl n so call "Imperial Washington " rnt allowed 2 vote, cuz its said tht if they vote they will have more power.
Reply:"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."
Reply:the lies are coming from the terrorists and the democrats...i cannot see the difference between them anymore.
Reply:That number is a very biased number. The questions on surveys only allow a choice of four answers at the most,
Very satisfied
satisfied
unsatisfied
very unsatisfied
Even with the bias those numbers did not appear until a year and a half ago. At the time we entered the war the American people were at 90% approval.
What was life in the Imperial palace in Kyoto like in the 1800s?
I'm writing a story about a girl who works as a servant for a princess in Kyoto and I thought it would be cool to have historical information. Also, I'm too lazy to look it up myself
What was life in the Imperial palace in Kyoto like in the 1800s?
She would have been basically a slave, even if of noble blood.
As the servant of a princess she would have a lot of authority over servants of people of lesser status.
She would have been a basically nasty person to those below her and a squirming slave to those above.
Reply:It would have been a life so sad you could barley understand.

helpppp!
How did mercantilism and its affect on both imperial contry and the colony?
Raw materials were sent back to the imperial country and the colonists had to buy back goods made from their own materials. It expanded the imperial economy and didn't do much to benefit the colony.

1 yard = 0.9144 metres - same in US
1 pound = 0.453 592 37 kilograms - same in US
1 gallon = 4.546 09 litres - different in US
Note particularly that the UK gallon is a different size to the US gallon so that NO liquid measures of the same name are the same size in the UK and US systems.
Also that the ton(UK) is 2240 pounds while a ton(US) is 2000 pounds. These are also referred to as a long ton and short ton respectively.

The old Imperial (now UK) system was originally defined by three standard measures - the yard, the pound and the gallon which were held in London. They are now defined by reference to the S I measures of the metre, the kilogram and the litre. These equivalent measures are exact.
1 yard = 0.9144 metres - same in US
1 pound = 0.453 592 37 kilograms - same in US
1 gallon = 4.546 09 litres - different in US
Note particularly that the UK gallon is a different size to the US gallon so that NO liquid measures of the same name are the same size in the UK and US systems.
Also that the ton(UK) is 2240 pounds while a ton(US) is 2000 pounds. These are also referred to as a long ton and short ton respectively.

Can anyone help me find an imperial shih-tzu near me that is not so expensive?
i've always wanted a teacup shih-tzu an i just can't seem to find one. so i figured since today is my birthday i'm determined to find one. However most of the puppies that are gorgeous are either too far away from me or too expensive.
Can anyone help me find an imperial shih-tzu near me that is not so expensive?
I'll just copy/paste from one of my previous answers. [I guess the person blocked me too. WOW.]

Please. Listen.
Teacups do NOT exist. I'm sick of hearing this, with all due respect. Do you want to know what teacups really are? I will tell you. Teacups are actually the offspring of generations of RUNTS - the smallest, unhealthiest dog of a litter. "Teacups" die EARLY, have behaviorial problems, medical issues, and extremely, ridiculously fragile. They're also pretty dumb, if you ask me, thanks to the bad breeding. "Teacups" are sold by bad breeders and pet stores to make women think they're cute, and I'm saying this in the nicest way possible.
There is no such thing as a "toy" Yorkie. They only come in one size. Anything smaller is probably a runt. I can provide links to good information and necessary research, along with sources of obtaining a maltese. By the way, there is no such thing as a Maltipoo, either - only mutts.

Dogs aren't cheap, mind you. What will you do if the dog has obedience problems? Obedience classes are from $95++. Vets? What if your dog gets run over? Visits can be from $50-1000+++. Supplies? Food? Food alone per month is $30+. A crate is from $75-100+. Treats... they're cheap, but remember, it all adds up.

Reply:If you can't afford the purchase price of a well-bred shih tzu, consider whether you are prepared for the expense of veterinary care, food bills and grooming equipment (or groomer). As has already been mentioned, there is no such thing as a teacup shih tzu and anyone trying to sell you one is not someone you want to get a dog from - they are lying or else too ignorant to be responsible breeders.
Shih tzu are prone to a number of hereditary problems that are very painful and expensive to address. If you think a well-bred puppy is expensive, you will be shocked at the money it takes to fix slipping knee caps or an operation to correct entroption.
People selling their puppies for cheap are not likely to have done all the tests that certify their breeding stock clear of problems like luxating patellas and eye degenerating conditions. They also are not likely to have made sure that their dogs were outstanding in structure and temperament. You may only want a pet, but only a breeder who breeds to produce the best Shih tzus possible is going to give you a puppy that has the deck stacked in your favour for health and temperament, not to mention looking and acting like a Shih tzu should.
You still have some options, though. You can contact a Shih tzu rescue and see if they have dogs needing homes. These still will cost some money, as the rescue has to feed and house and pay for medical care for them. They are usually much cheaper than a puppy from a reputable breeder. They can have a fuzzy past, though, so keep that in mind. Many, however, are wonderful dogs who only need a dedicated owner to make them into outstanding companions.
Along these lines, http://www.petfinder.com/ is an excellent way of searching for any kind of pet. You can specify the kind and type, listed in order of proximity to your location.
The local SPCA/animal shelter is much less likely to have or harbour any small breed, as these get snapped up pretty quickly in most areas. It's worth a try, though, and you can put your name in for a shih tzu or mix.

How does imperial foundation lotto get away with this scam?
Because the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Here is the website for the 17 nation law enforcement task force that investigate cross border Internet crime. www.econsumer.gov. This is a Nigerian scam and there are thousands. I am a retired Police Officer that has years of experience investigating Internet fraud and crime. People need to act in one loud voice. Yahoo has a system called Black Hole that if you send the email with the headers they will bar any email to or from that address. If your a victim you local F.B.I office can tell you the email address to send the email to. The Federal Communications Commission also has an investigative arm you may complain to. In Nigeria the Internet cafes are nothing more than scam depots. Jerk answers like the one above do not help. He thinks he's funny. Not. The gullible or those that do not have a command of the English language would be gullible to a stupid answer like that.
How does imperial foundation lotto get away with this scam?
I don't think they will get away with it if enough people contact the web site www.econsumer.gov and file a complaint. I just did because I received the same letter about winning the lotto and they sent me a check for $2,997.40 that I put in my bank and it was released today and I called the number given to me and could not get a answer so I decided to contact the bank that the check was wrote on and they told me that it was a fraudulant check that I should not cash the check and that I should contact the local police and the FBI and let them know about this so that is what I have done and maybe with everyones help we can get these people stopped before some one ends up in prison.

Anyway, the empire is the bad guys so they should in theory not be popular.
There are two approaches to your question.
1) From a RPG perspective the officer is a GM tool used to give the universe a sense of reality.
Officers in star wars seemed to be side characters. Darth Vader executed one (and apparently does this all the time) for example to show how much of a minor character they are in the story line. So from a GM perspective; a science fiction writer or a game programmer you may not even need to worry about the officers’ name let alone how they got their rank.
2) From the star wars story line
A star destroyer has around 46,700 officers, crew and one compliment of storm troopers. So there are lots or different types of officers on board a single star destroyer I would guess.
Admirals on the other hand are chosen for political reasons and need not know the back end of a star destroyer from the front end.
According to my source; 7% of the top recruits of an imperial academy can go onto special training.
The lower 5% can become tie fighter pilots; the remaining top 2% go onto the imperial naval academy and 33.3% of those can take up the option of becoming tie fighter pilots. The other option for the 2% of top candidates is to go to the imperial navy officer’s school on Carida (near the perlemian trade route and home to the Cardian race). On graduating from Carida they are commissioned as lieutenants.
It is also mentioned that officers may serve at prestigious Raithal or the lesser Corulag; but Raithal is considered as an army school but has also produced officers for the republic navy.
The destruction of Carida is only relevant if you are playing in a era after that event.

I want to get a puppy and I want a small dog, Should I get a Shih Zuh, Pekingnese or Chinese Imperial?
First, please research each of these breeds regarding personality and health problems. Small dogs tend to be rather high strung and, if bought from a puppy mill or a store who buys from puppy mills - any breed related health issues are more likely to occur in your puppy.
That said - when you are ready to get your dog - go to "Petfinders.com" and look under "finding breed" - they will give you a list of dogs in that breed currently available for adoption, and you can also get a list of rescue groups specializing in that breed so you can find one in your area.
Again - please don't support puppies for sale from pet stores or breeders. That is, unless you can get a reference from a veternarian or the local humane society that the dogs are treated humanely and not overly inbred.
Puppies deserve loving homes, and their parents deserve to be treated as more than breeding stock - stuck in filthy cramped cages all their lives.
I know you'll love your new dog when you get it. You just need to be aware where they really come from.

Reply:No one can answer this question but you. What are some of your habits, your lifestyle, personality traits. You want a dog (small, medium or large) that will match all of these. Do you want a dog that requires a lot of grooming, a tenacious little dog, an easily trainable dog, stubborn yet loveable, loyal, etc etc. Learn of their tendancies and short comings.
There are differences between the males and females (personalities) so do your research and see which is better for you.
Good Luck

Reply:My favorite breed is the chihuahua. If you get a male you want to have him fixed before he starts marking, or that becomes a real problem. I prefer females, but have both. All the breeds that you name require lots of grooming. Also the shorter nosed dogs have a lot of breathing problems.
Reply:Go to YAHOO! and type in "dog breed selector" Several questionnaires will come up. They will ask you about your lifestyle and preferences. This should give you a good idea about the breed good for you. Once you get it narrowed down, go to akc.com and look at the breed standard. then you may want to volunteer at a shelter or rescue so you can meet the dogs in person and see if you connect. Another resource might be to go to a dog show. Whatever you do, don't go to a pet shop or a backyard breeder

Is it legal for me and my (BSA) patrol to wear patches with the Star Wars Imperial Insignia on them?

Is it legal for me and my (BSA) patrol to wear patches with the Star Wars Imperial Insignia on them?
As long as it's O.K. with your Scout Master, and Council doesn't mind, it will be fine to wear as a patrol patch. Looks good, ours was a scorpion.
Reply:No.
"Alteration of Badges and Insignia
Clause 10. No alteration of, or additions to, the official badges and insignia or in the rules and regulations governing their use or their location upon the uniform may be authorized by any Scouting official, local council, local exec�u�tive board, or committee except the national Executive Board of the Boy Scouts of America and committees specifically authorized thereof. Proprietary backing is to be used on all official BSA patches and emblems. Products without appropriate backing are considered illegal."
Venturing Scouts are allowed to design their own unit patches, but they must be approved at the Council level before being authorized to wear.
Edit to add: Clause 11 gives your local Council the ability to approve other insignia to be worn on the uniform, but it would have to be approved by them first, also. I think you'd have a hard time convincing them that you have a legitimate purpose in adopting a commercially trademarked insignia to be on the uniform. I suppose they can't fault you for asking, though!
Sorry! But good luck with your Scouting!

Where can I buy ribbons for my Imperial "the good companion" model T typewriter?
I bought it at the weekend at a car boot sale and have no idea where to buy new ink ribbons or how much they cost?
Where can I buy ribbons for my Imperial "the good companion" model T typewriter?
I don't see a Model T in my ribbon reference book I have the following:-
Good Companion 1 (and 2,4 and 6) use group 1008
Good Companion 3 uses group 1006
Good Companion 5 (and 7) use group 1001
These ribbons were originally group 1, group 6 and group 8 the 100 prefixes were added later when the Carma reference system was adopted. Group 1001 is still fairly readily available from good stationers in brands such as Kores and Wordtech. Groups 1006 and 1008 are totally obsolete but if you have an old ribbon on the typewriter you could get a group 1001 and wind it on to the old spools. This shouldn't cost more than £2.00 but pretty messy. Make sure you carefully memorise how the ribbon is threaded on the machine and how the spools are mounted before you remove them.
Clean and oil the typewriter and hope for the best. They did need servicing occasionally as the striking levers can become misaligned. You can get a new basic electric typewriter for £50 to £60 which gives much better print quality and doesn't require building up your finger muscles but they use drop in cartridges ribbons which don't last as long as nylon ribbons.

What is a CUP in metric/imperial weight?
lots of US recipes use a cup as weights for recipes but we dont use that in Europe. can anyone tell me what a cup is in both ounces AND grammes please?
What is a CUP in metric/imperial weight?
A cup is a measurement of volume not weight.
Reply:The only way I know how to measure a cup is in mili litres...a cup = 250 ml...from where I am, that varies depending on where you are....for example if you're in the UK, it's 284 ml to a cup....
May I make a suggestion? go to:
website: www. whatsfordinner.co.za....
click on the measurements icon on your right,
click on volume to weight converter...and read the note at the bottom....
If you're trying to measure mili litres into grams or whatever....you have to specify what you're measuring....
PS: Hope this helps cos I went to a lot of trouble for you to make sure that everything I said was 100 % right!!!!
Reply:it really depends on what you are measuring due to some things being heavier than others but for flour 1 cup is equal to 4oz or 125g of even 8 fl oz or 225 ml
Reply:250 ml. in metric
Reply:Cup is not by weight it is a volume equating to half a pint or 236ml - approximately a quarter of a litre
Reply:250ml, weight depends on substance put in cup
what is heavier,ton of feathers or a ton of porridge ??
Reply:What a lot of fuss.A cup is a measure of volume but will also hold a fixed weight of whatever.
If you have an American recipie why bother converting. Just use a cup! it is probably quicker.
Reply:A "cup" is 8 ounces, or 14 grams. ("a pint's a pound the world around"). But that's a cup of water. There is a difference in densities, and hence weights, between liquids other than water, so there is "fluid ounce"and weight. As with most things we Americans do, it's totally confusing.

Why does the Japanese Imperial Agency abuse Masako like they have?
I believe if she was allowed a lot more freedom,she would have had created more babies the natural way,since 1995.
Why does the Japanese Imperial Agency abuse Masako like they have?
She still has a choice. She's a well-educated woman. She could divorce and leave that mess of an old-boys'-club behind her.
The Japanese Imperial Agency is tied to the way things were done 1000 years ago. They won't change, they can't change, and so, just like any other kind of natural selection, they're going to make themselves irrelevant. Both the Agency and the absurd imperial family will cease to exist.

Is there anyone that makes a cheaper knock off of Imperial Majesty perfume?
I have always wanted to know what it smelled like but definately cannot afford it. Do you know of any websites that feature this?
Is there anyone that makes a cheaper knock off of Imperial Majesty perfume?
Imperial Majesty, which costs $215,000 a bottle, is the most expensive perfume in the world. Imperial Majesty is a limited edition of a Clive Christian signature scent. Sold simply as No. 1, the fragrance is priced at $2,150 an ounce. But the reason Imperial Majesty costs so much is that Christian, a British designer-turned-perfumer, poured 16.9 ounces of No. 1 into a Baccarat crystal bottle, stuck a five-carat diamond into the 18-carat gold collar and unveiled it at Harrods in London and Bergdorf Goodman in New York City this past holiday season. Of the five bottles released for sale (the others were kept for Christian's archives), three have sold.
So I doubt you'll ever see a knock off of this perfume, but never say never.
Reply:I don't think there is a cheap knock off of Imperial Majesty.
It is supposed to be a Clive Christian, one of kind item, so I guess no one wants to take a chance and get sued. It is over priced and probably smells like Vera Wang or some other overly priced perfume. I believe the reason it cost so much, isn't the scent itself, but the bottle, which is made out of Crystals and Diamond accents. If you would like to try designer perfumes, you should check out Sephora and even cheaper Amerimark Beauty Boutique--
They carry the original perfume not knockoffs and they only charge half off like $30-70 for designer scents in regular size and like $20 for a miniture.
The website leaves little to be desired, but it's cheaper and the real deal! Ask for the catalog so you can see their full stock and possibly get a special on shipping %26amp; handling.

Star Wars "Imperial March" used as a metaphor for real world dictatorships - explain?
How did the 'Imperial March' from Star Wars become a popular metaphor for real-world dictatorial regimes? A lot of mock videos use it to paint a politician as authoritarian. (When Hugo Chavez tried to expand his powers last year, some web sites said "Cue the imperial march!")
It's obvious that the Galactic Empire was totalitarian, but why THIS music of all the hundreds of themes they could have used?
Star Wars "Imperial March" used as a metaphor for real world dictatorships - explain?
Lucas tried to make the Empire represent all that is bad. Williams did a great job capturing that. Lucas mentioned in an interview that he wanted the moment when the Republic voluntarily stopped being a democracy (exchanged the rule of the people for safety) to harken back to the times when this happened in our world: Hitler's Germany; Napoleonic France; and Julius Caesar's Rome. The Empire certainly resembled the Nazis (most notably with the uniforms and "Stormtroopers").
Reply:Ok....let's try this: cue Barry Manilow's "Copacabana" on the Chavez power video. Bigger laugh?? cue Devo's "Whip It"...ok....now....play the Chavez power video that cues up "Imperial March".
You tell me: Which really does sound better????
Star Wars composer John Williams really hit on-target, recording "Imperial March" to sound oppressively evil and sinister---which really does match it's application to videos featuring brutal dictatorships.
