When u say "all of them", do u put an "is" after the phrase or an "are"?

You would use "are" since "them" is plural.

Although, to start a sentence with "All of them are..." ain't quite proper in the first place :D

Now, I'll go see if I can document it.

Since the original poster posted the question on April 29, 2008 and it has already received one, decisive answer, it might be safe to assume that the original poster has already assimilated the answer that they had received into that for which they sought the answer for in the first place.
