A. How countries (territories, dependents and geographical areas) are selected to compete in the Olympics is by getting recognized by the International Olympic Committee. In 2004 Athens out of the 202 National Olympic Committees (NOCS) only Djibouti didn't participate. 2008 Beijing 3 new NOCs have been admitted Pacific Island nations of Tuvalu , Marshall Islands and Montenegro which declared its independence from the Serbian Republic. Next step which I believe your driving at is the athletes themselves that is all decided from how well the athletes do in their respective countries at world championships and other Olympic qualifying events as well as regional Olympic qualifying events. This determines the number of athletes or sport teams… [cont.]

For some reason I cant find this list anywhere. I get that the subject is vague but come on! I can find homicide rates and Burglary rates.

A. Depends on your interpretation of child sexual abuse. The close physical contact between parents and their children in the Balkans would be considered child sexual abuse here. In certain cultures in India, mothers put their mouths over the genitals of male babies that are being especially fussy. Most boys in India remain within the family compound and do not get their first full set of clothes until age 7, when they start school. They simply run around naked. In the Amazon, sex play between young boys and girls is common among the tribes, right in the middle of the family hut. \\\

Most immigration processes take at least 1 year - often longer. and you will need several thousand US dolars - if you dont have that money then you cannot pay sall the required fees and you will not have the required savings.

A. It is kind of hard to imagine at this point because America has two friendly neighbors on its' north and southern borders, two vast oceans to the east and west, two major mountain chains and a population that is heavily armed. Not to mention America's overall dominance in military might. No offense but it doesn't sound like that believable of a plot.

Two reasons, the country that doesn't have them may have allies that do, and any country that were to use them pre-emptively would be considered an outcast by most other nations.

Asked by sheridan - Mon Dec 28 21:42:35 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It will depend entirely on which airport you will be leaving from. From Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, you would only be looking at the south west Pacific. (New Zealand, Fiji, Samoa, New Caledonia etc..) As it is near 4 hours to Darwin from Brisbane, to get to an Asian foreign country within the remaining hour, you would only get to Bali or East Timor. If flying from Darwin, it could be almost anywhere in South East Asia. 4 hours from Darwin to Vietnam. 4 and a 1/2 hours to Singapore. If flying from Cairns, about 4 and 1/2 hours to the Phillipines and many west Pacific countries are well within 5 hours. Looks like there are so many possibilities, you won't know for sure until you check in.

Asked by Agent DMV - Sat Feb 20 01:44:07 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It's because some sports are more popular in certain countries than others. And the more people you have doing a sport, the better chance you have of having some really good, talented athletes. Also, when a sport has a lot of participants, that automatically brings in more and better coaches, more facilities, more state of the art equipment and training techniques. That's why Canada is better at hockey than the U.S. There's no genetic difference between Canadians and Americans... we come from the same backgrounds... it's just that hockey is more popular in Canada so they develop more and better players.
