i dont want to know about mixes or powders. just natural things. this is mostly for trying to build muscles.

I'm a vegetarian, so I'm always searching for more protein. The best-tasting and least noticable protein powder would be Whey protein powder. It works like a charm, gives you lots of protein, and you won't even notice it.

My highschool is having a blood drive this week, and I'm thinking about donating, but my dad doesn't want me to because he thinks I might get HIV or some other disease through transfusion. Are these fears unfounded? He also thinks the blood centers try to get blood for nothing by enticing people to donate when they're young..he says it's not good for you to donate blood, and it makes you weak.\n\nIs my dad right to have concern or is he just being paranoid?

Your dad is just being paranoid.  All of the equipment used when you donate blood is new and sterile - there's a one in a billion chance of you getting an infection from donating blood (if anyone got sick, the donation center would be in BIG trouble).  Transfusions (the receiving of donated blood) is also safer than ever before and it's only getting safer.  Donated blood is tested for a lot of diseased including HIV, Hepatitis B and C, HTLV I and II and Syphilis.  Besides the testing, there is a long questionaire that you have to fill out before you dontate that assess your risk factors for having any of these diseases (and others such as Chaga's and malaria) and not knowing it.  If you seem like you're at risk at all for possibly having a disease, they won't allow you to donate.\nA "mini" physical is also performed that includes weight, iron levels, temperature, blood pressure, and pulse.  If any of these are out of range, you will not be allowed to donate.\n\nDonation centers try to get everyone to donate, not just the young.  There is no age limit to donation, but there is a minimum age (17).  Getting in the habit of donating blood is a good thing to do while you are young, that way you can carry it throughout life.\n\nAfter donation, some people get weak, some people even pass out (me, for example).  This is due to a drop in blood volume.  The any feeling of lightheadedness usually goes away in a few minutes, but you will be allowed to lay down in the chair for as long as you want to.  If you're going to donate, drink plenty of juice or water.  \nYour body replaces the blood cells you lost within one week, and many people actually feel better in the week after they donate than they did before.\n\nYour father is just being paranoid. It sounds to me like he's getting his knowledge from what little bad press has gone around about blood donation.


I loved her in this Woody Allen's movie with Jason Biggs " Anything else"! I like her personality, it's like she hasn't been perverted by Hollywood, as some are very quickly! I loved her in Ally Mc Beal as well!


thats the christians version of free will accept jesus or go to hell.

This is only the point of view of SOME Christians.  I believe a truly good man who lives a life of honour and integrity; who does not harm anyone in body or mind; who respects everybody in the same way that he would like to be respected, and who tries to be the very best that he can be, is much more likely to enter the Kingdom of Heaven than a bigoted Christian.


She was my friend 2 years ago in 5th grade but she went around talking about me behind my back.WE WERE BEST FRIENDS!SHE DID THAT TO HER BEST FRIEND!We haven't been friends ever since.I tried to be nice to her in 6th grade but she was 2 MEAN!I think she's ugly in both ways.You know looks and attitude.AND THE ONLY WAY SHE GETS BOYFRIENDS IS WHEN SHE STILLS OTHER GIRLS GUYS!!!I hope your able 2 give me some good advice about my prob.

RENT THE MOVIE"ODD GIRL OUT" NOW YOU SEE WHAT HUNDREDS OF GIRLS GO THROUGH. IM 31 AND BEEN THROUGH IT ALL. THIS GIRL IS ACTING OUT TO FIT IN. THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO IS IGNORE HER. IF THE DAY COMES THAT YOU GET THE CHANCE TO PUT HER IN HER PLACE IN FRONT OF A LOT OF PEOPLE THEN YOU DO IT AND TELL HER HOW SHE REALLY IS AND HOW SHE REALLY COMES OFF TO PEOPLE. WELL I HAD AN EXPERIENCE WHERE THOUGH MY SISTER KATY WATCHED ME GET BEAT UP BY A GIRL IN FIRST GRADE EVERYDAY. ONE DAY KATY BEAT THIS GIRL UP AND TOSSED HER DOWN A SMALL HILLY RAVINE AT THE SCHOOL. NOT NICE AT ALL BUT MADE THE POINT. I DO NOT PROMOTE VIOLENCE. BUT A LESSON BURNED IS A LESSON EARNED. SO YOU DO WHAT U MUST AND LET HER KNOW IN FRONT OF OTHERS HOW YOU FEEL.AN SHE IS NOT YOUR FRIEND.


Our salvation is secured because it is God's work\nnothing to do with us.\nthis is what John McArthur teaches.\nis this true?

I don`t agree with John McArthur`s teaching but I also try not to call someone a heretic especially a sincere human being who is interested in God. Every study helps us to understand better the will of God. Maybe this quoting will help> "The law was never given as a means of salvation but it will always be the standard of Christian living" - Ellen White.\nIt is hard to understand were God works and were we have to do something...We confess our sins, God forgives us, we try not to sin but we are weak, God strengthens us....Maybe you should study more..because the problem is more complex.


Hi! I am a normal guy.  I am not asking this question to convert anyone to a different believe.  I don't have a monkey in my icon. And, I'm just some normal guy. So please, can we answer the question without trying to suggest that I'm trying to make anyone believe what I believe?

Hmmmm.  Jim Darwin disappears and Normal Guy shows up making constant references to Jim Darwin.  Coincidence?  You decide.\n\nIn answer to your question, I don't see any religious meaning.  It seems to be a reference back to Nazism.


i was just wondering you know since they can "see into the future" and everything.

Because they are all bogus!!! They should be called Psychos instead!!!


I have noticed that when a girl is being nice to a guy like smiling to him ,talking to him ,wanting to have a drink with him... etc .The guy thinks that you are crazy in love with him.What if you just wanted to be friends?

Actually it is the other way round. When a girl simply acts nice.. the men fall in love with them.. Also they are in doubt whether you girls like him or not..\n\nIt is as simple as that..\n\nIf you just wanna be friends, be yourself..no sweettalk and no killer expressions. Rest will work out fine..:)


A report was made in Baldwin Borough, PA involving minors being accused of criminal conspiracy to commit rape & indecent assault.  Police never informed parents or questioned them or their child.  When asked to see police report or be given a copy, they refused saying it was not allowed.  Child was later found to have been abused, along with other children involved in this report and living close by, probably for many yrs.  3 separate therapists, 2 were affiliated with the police dept., all concluded the abuse but officer would not let it go. We had to move & child has been so much. He shows major signs or anxiety & depression.He said that he will never play with girls again or ever have a girlfriend. He also always tells me how sorry he is for being so bad and disgusting even though we go to therapy 2x a week.Should I consider suing or filing a complaint? If he just said sorry it would've made a difference. It should be the law to be informed about anything involving a minor

yes and ill tell you why.if it is a open case and/or open investigation then you don't any any rights to what ever information was gathered pertaining to this case.you said the key word " being accused " and " report made ". police officer's don't have to inform the parents about anything unless the child under the age of 18 is in custody or about to be taken into custody. the law's very from state to state about minors. if the case was closed w/ out charges filed or if the case is pending or closed w/ out action. then freedom of information act does not apply. only time parent's have rights's to information is when the child is read his right's then a parent has to state " yes i understand his/her rights " due to a minor not having the consent or legal right to answer it.


the prez and vice prez have both commited not only major felonies within the past years that we know of, they fluant it among the world they can and will do what they want. no one can stop them,so they think. \nmy fear is a fed up eu might try by bombing the crap out of their country . us\nhow do people feel about our leaders acting like bullies of the world?

President or not no one should be above or beyond the law this includes the vice president also. as of late congress and the legal system can not seem to find the balls to bring charges against these people Why what are they so afraid of?


One time on a camping trip I was walking back from the bathrooms at that moment right between day and night and I saw someone walk across the front of the site and stop behind a tree. So I figure one of the people is going to jump out and try to surprise me, so I pull out my flashlight, walk up to the tree, turn on the light, and there's no one there.\n\nAs a child the chandelier used to swing from side to side, and the radio would turn on by itself in the middle of the night.\n\nOne time I was alone in a house, and I felt a presence. I looked a mobile hanging motionless, and said, "If there is anyone else here, make the mobile spin." The next moment, the mobile began to spin.\n\nOne time I was driving into Ponca State Park to set up a large camping gathering, and the sides of the road were lined with spirits. All standing there, clearly visible to everyone, calmly welcoming us back.\n\nOn another camping trip, we felt a spirit near the bon-fire. We had a ring of 40 tiki-torches around the bonfire. It was a still and windless night, but all the tiki flames near the spirit bent in. One of the people in the circle had a fancy camera. After the campout she went to get the film developed, and all the photos from before the visitor turned out, but after that all the film was blank. She took the camera in to be repaired. The repairman asked if she'd been in a nuclear power plant. All the innards were fried from electromagnetism\n\nMy grandmother died while my niece was in utero. After my niece was born, she would look up at areas where no one was standing, and laugh and giggle. We all knew that she was looking at gramma, so we never showed her any pictures. Finally, at about a year old, she could speak, and my sister showed her the family photo album. My niece picked out her photo and said, "That's Old Gramma."\n\nOne time on a camping trip, a witch and I created a psychic link which allowed us to keep tabs on each other without needing those family band radios.\n\nPersonally, I do spiritual healing with singing bowls. I play the bowl in someone's hand, and feel the vibrations as they extend through the person, and can tell them where the vibrations are and what they're doing.\n\nI used to work with a Reiki master who could tell people many details about their lives while we were doing our energy work. Very specific things\n\nmany people drain those around them of life force, but there are some who can do it purposefully. They have the ability to reach out and drain a person's energy. They say it's better than caffeine. \n\nI have a good friend who can do that. She's the only energy vampire I know who uses her power for good. She takes people's headaches. She also has an amazing ability to sense energies, making her one of the most powerful witches I know (I know a lot of witches who claim to be powerful, but very few who actually are). I have known her for many years and we are very close friends.\n\nOne time it was the dead of winter, she was sitting next to a window, and she felt someone looking at her. She looked and there was someone dressed in black with no color in their body sitting across the road, intently looking at her. She looked down for no more than five seconds, looked up again, and he was sitting on her side of the road, still intently looking at her. He was not dressed for the cold, but was not shivering at all. Just intense calm looking at her. She immediately closed the blinds realizing that she had just had an encounter with a real vampire. A real vampire and a kindred spirit. It probably wasn't a vampire like Dracula or what we see from Hollywood, but it was definitely something from outside of our mundane existence.\n\nOne time, on a camping trip, it was an especially magickal night. At some point, everyone in the camp noticed that something was missing, including a necklace from around one woman's neck. The area where we were camping was separate

Sounds like a good plan.  There are multitudes of ways to encourage illegals to deport themselves.


intuitions or premonitions rule our days sometimes with no better of communicating to others what we exactly feel or why.

It's interesting to come across this question. I was talking to someone the other day who woke up with a feeling something really bad was going to happen the same day that he got arrested after DUI. Was it really a premonition, or did he just act stupid because he had that feeling and brought the whole situation onto himself?\nSometimes I feel I have premonitory feelings, that are very clear, but none of them has come true. I wonder whether they aren't real, or whether I have so far been able to turn the bad things that were about to happen to me into nothing just by having premonitory thoughts. \nAnyways...

My deceased husband was diagnosed with human parvo in 2004. He was also diagnosed with CLL in 2000. He became lukiemia free and 3 months later passed. On the death certificate it states human parvo. Not many case are known but how does a person get this disease? I just don't quite understand it.

I am a genetic scientist ı am currently working in a diangnostic laboratory. We have a HPV test. Generally HPV can be seen in the cervics of Woman.

I always hear on TV, they need to tell their kids the story of "The Birds and The Bees". What story is that? No one ever told me that story.

the birds    to start a family  poppa bird first must find a momma bird.  once poppa and momma find each other the first thing they do is make a home for themselves. a nice comfy nest.  once they are settled in their new home momma lays some eggs and stays in the nest to care for the eggs while poppa feeds and protects her.  when the chicks hatch momma and poppa bird take turns guarding and feeding the chicks until the happy little chicks are all grown up.  \n\nThe bees  a bee will go from flower to flower pollinating every flower that will let him. The unfaithful bee will then fly away home to slave for the queen in the hive.  while the poor abandoned flower wilts leaving the seedlings to grow up with out any parents.  \n\nBe a bird my child an fly free.


When the Canadian dollar is worth more than the American dollar so perhaps Canadians should treat them as they have treated us by enforcing Canadian residents Only.

I suspect you are complaining of merchant sites that will not deal with Canadians. This is not a bias but a business decision. I used to live in Alaska and had the same problem as many merchants did not want to deal with Alaska. With a little searching, I usually could find someone who would ship to Alaska but of course the shipping costs were higher. If the merchant provides flat rate shipping, shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, and Canada can cause them to loose money and they do not feel that offering an alternative is worth their time and effort.


I urgently need the solution to this chemistry problem. I want the full solution to this problem, not just the answer.

If oxygen is your limiting reactant, then the amount of CO2 produced is dependent solely on the amount of oxygen.\n\nThe balanced equation being 2CO + O2 ---> 2CO2, you will generate 2 moles of carbon dioxide for every mole of oxygen, so the answer is 100 moles.

Recently promoted to a mid level position (in fact I am the youngest ever to reach that position). But even with the increment, my salary is now still around 30 to 100% lower than fellow colleagues with this position? Should I request for salary adjustment?

It doesn't hurt to ask. If they say no, then don't fight them if you want to keep your job.\n\nSince you are new to the position, you will eventually get the paid the same as your fellow co-workers as you gain experience.

After the first religion that was started after Jesus' death? Where can I find information about it???

1)  Christianity was NOT the first religion.  \n2)  Judaism was technically not the first religion, either.  Judaism did not come about until Moses.  While God was worshiped before Moses, as we read in the Bible, there was no formal religion.  Adam, Noah, Joshua, etc., had no formal religion as we typically think of; therefore, when Pagans claim that their religion is the oldest, technically they are correct, and the Bible confirms it.\n3)  Other religions start for various reasons.  L. Ron Hubbard (Scientology) and Joseph Smith (Mormonism) seemed to be financially motivated.  Islam seemed to be more racially motivated.  Most New Age and modern Pagan beliefs seem to be motivated by the desire to BE God (they desire "special power").  That is really what almost all false beliefs (including most false religious sects) are about...  getting to be God.  Deciding for one self what is right and wrong.  Wanting to be like God.  That is what Satan tempted Eve with in the Garden, and that is what drives us away today.


The Lone Ranger and Tonto went camping in the desert. After they got their tent all set up, both men fell sound asleep.\nSome hours later, Tonto wakes the Lone Ranger and says, "Kemo Sabe, look towards sky, what you see?\nThe Lone Ranger replies, "I see millions of stars."\n"What that tell you?" asked Tonto.\nThe Lone Ranger ponders for a minute then says, "Astronomically billions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three in the morning. Theologically, it's evident the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant. Meteorologiclly, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What's it tell you Tonto?"\n\nTonto is silent for a moment.... then says, \n"Kemo Sabe, you dumber than buffalo shit. It tells me, someone stole our tent!"  \n\nDid you laugh? Rate my joke from 1-10 with your remarks!\nThanks\nSmileyCat : )\naka LadyLaughAlot

Yes that was a 10 stars joke(**********)!\n\nI have another one:\nLone Ranger and Tonto were galloping through the desert, when out of nowhere they were surrounded by the nasty Indians!

They are making room for new shows since there ratings are down.To me the show is finally getting good again.Thursday is the only day I have time for TV.Enough of my complaining.How do u feel about it?

I think they're messed in the head!! I've been watching ER since it's very inception back in 94-95...and although it's had some down times, right now it's on the upswing again... and I don't like the idea of moving a show that's been in the same timeslot since it started. It's almost as if they're trying harder to kill it off or something, which would be a d**n shame in the case of ER!


My son inlaw uses my computer whilst I am at work he is supposed to be job hunting but I am sure he sit and looks at porn all day how can I prove this without purchasing a program as he will know that I am checking up on him I am not a whiz on comouters I only know the  basics

If you only know the basics, have someone else do it. Could cause a lot of problems otherwise. \n Otherwise, link below should help. If he has a "shredder" program, then you likely will get nothing back.


My homeowners Assn tells me that I must remove the Monkey grass from the front of my house cause it looks like weeds and is unkept.  everyone else has the original straw and some have rocks or wood chips.  Am I being picked on.  Nowhere does it say that I cannot have monkey grasss

Homeowners' Associations may regulate the look of your yard... trees, lawns, and weeds. Usually it's because a neighbor complained about the look of something. Homeowners associations work for the greater good of the community. They can place tons of rules on the look of your house and yard as they see fit for the community. \n\nFile a complaint in regards to this issue and explain what is in your yard. Maybe they don't realize it's not an actual weed.  \n\nOn the other hand, it's pretty much what they say goes. If they ask you to get rid of it.. you usually don't have much of a choice unless you want to go through a legal battle. Not fun.

I recently bought myself a laptop and don't have much use for my computer.  Its an e-machines T2483 with 80GB, 256 ram, 56k, 6usb ports,Ethernet 10/100 mbps,  Microsoft Windows XP.  I had to replace the motherboard and I have installed on it Microsoft Word (with PowerPoint) and it has about 8-9 months left on AntiVirus.

To be honest. Not much. The desktop market is just too saturated. I would look at donating it to a charity. You get a better tax write off than going through the hassle of trying to sell it, while helping out folks in need. Win-win. TX


Sometimes it just seems I can't stop thinking negative things about myself, putting myself down. I'm usually thinking "you're worthless. You're a nobody. Nobody cares about you. Girls will never like you." How do I stop thinking these hurtful thoughts?

Well I just kept boosting myself up.  I use to feel the same way.  Then I learned you only have one life and if you spend the whole time being sorry for yourself you miss out on tons of awesome experiences.


ok i got some answers but more detail my clock at work is set at military time i understand the hours minutes are not 60 minute intervales it is to 100 now when my boss figures my ours i clock in at 1690 and clock out at odd times like 2227 i figure i work 5.37 hours that is taking 1690-2227  my boss subtracts 1690-2227 and when the figure comes out 5.37 he takes off the 7 and pays for 5.3 am i getting cheated money he says the last number is not even a minute i disagree and he doesnt round up either what do you think

You are talking about 7/100 of an hour.  That's less than 5 mins.  If you are getting $10 an hour, then we are talking about 85 cents here.  \n\nMaybe you should just leave 5 mins (I mean .07 hr) early.\n\nGo ahead, I won't tell.


For those of you who haven't seen it, My Name Is Earl is a sitcom about a guy named, you guessed it, Earl, who's lived a life of basic naughtiness and found that his life sucked. He got hold of the idea of karma, and is now trying to make up for his lifetime of bad deeds by undoing them, and hijinks ensue.\n\nThe point is, Earl doesn't know a damned thing about Eastern philosophy. Hell, he refers to karma as an entity half the time, as if "she" was personally watching and grading him on his actions.\n\nThis reminds me so much of christians who jump on the bandwagon with no real idea what their religion actually preaches. They hear that Jesus is this cool d00d that died for them and if they believe that they live forever and their enemies are punished. Forever. And that's all they need to run with. That or some other fantasy-inspired fantasy.\n\nAt least Earl got hold of a benevolent idea... Could be worse, he could be shooting abortion clinic personnel...

It's brilliant because for once, it's not a comedy about 5 air-brushed clones co-existing in their cosy microcosm.\n\nI think it's pretty humanist - good stuff happens, $hit stuff happens, guy tries to take some responsibility.\n\nEither way, it makes my Friday night a better place to be.


Why when a 12 year old kid go to the Movie Theather they charge them as an adult?, why 18 to smoke, why 21 to drink? how come you are an adult at the age of 18 to go the the war

This is a confusing issue. Until the age of 21 you cannot drink but at the age of 18 you are "legally" old enough to make your own decisions, enter into legal contracts, join the military, buy a home, a car etc. So I would have to say based on the above reasons at 18 you are "legally" an adult.


girls can think that a girl is pretty or hot without being bi or a lesbian. can guys think that a guy looks good or handsome without being gay or bi?

well, people can think that someone 'looks good' or whatever, i mean, if you're hot, people of both sexes are gonna notice. duh. but it all depends on whether you 'like' them or not.

I am desperate, I have like eight assignments due and need help writing them. I'm too scared just to hand one in off the net but I was wondering if it would be worthwhile for me to pay someone to write it and then I would have info that I could rework and rewrite. I've never used one so I'm unsure of what the general standards are!

No, don't pay for someone to write it; those services are annoyingly cruddy.  i tried it once, and the essay I got was something a 2nd grader could have written.\n\nThe most you can do is to grit your teeth and start writing.  Don't worry, you'll get through it (unless you procrastinated, of course).  Just write in any free time you get.  carry your laptop around with you, and if you get spare time, open and type!


its our tradition that we show no feelings at her funeral. so i didn't have time toi greif at all i was out work 2 weeks and went back now i think i'm depress.if her daughters cry its like she see us laughing at her. i try not to think about her so i can have my head together but then when i think about her i can't cry cause she always told me not to cry when she died. i don't know how to deal with it.it hurts alot and there were so many things i wanted to tell her.

Please seek some professional help or help from your church.  My good friend did the same thing when her dad died suddenly.  It's been 10 years and I swear she is stuck in a grieving time warp.  She still cries about it today like she did 10 years ago.  She never sought any kind of help or even medication.  You really need someone who can guide you through the grieving process.

What do you do when you are supposed to greet everyone who comes in your store and some are in active conversations on cell phones?  What is the proper protocol?  I had a customer who was on the phone the entire time he was in the store today.  From walking in the door to purchase to out the door!  Was I supposed to go out of my way to speak to him, or pretty much be robotic and ignore him the way he did me?  I am usually very nice and solicitous of my customers but I was honestly confused by this situation.  What is the proper etiquette?

The best thing to do is to greet them, the way you would do any other customer.  Just because he is rude, doesn't mean you have to lower yourself to his level.

Because of sin. Alot of people use the "talk" to cover up the way that they really live.\n\nMy dad always says..."It's not how high you can jump...but it's how straight you walk when you land that matters." Or in this case...it's not how loud you can talk but how straight you can walk.


but I have a scar from a surgery right avobe my belly button. Would it be bad to get it? would it hurt more?

I've heard it hurts a lot.  But a scar shouldn't make a difference.  Actually, if anything, it might be less painful.  Sometimes scar tissue loses sensitivity, but as far as I know, once a scar is healed, it does not gain sensitivity.


let's say 4 days a week,for an hour or so....what are your opinions?

Get some clip-less pedal shoes (SPD) and take some spinning classes.  This will A. get you in shape and B. get you used to getting into and out of the pedals.  You'll be in better shape than half of the riders out there. If you hit he class three times a week and hit the road twice a week you'll probably lose 15 lbs in the first month depending upon your body fat percentage.  To maintain your motivation you may want join a cycling club.  It's a lot more fun and safe to ride with a group.  The more experienced cyclist in your group will be helpful in getting you up to speed. The link below will help you.


Gandalf's so cool and gimli so funny lol\ni love lord of the rings, there my favourite films

The greatest movies I've ever seen, and my favorite book series of all time.....but I don't have any obvious favorite characters. However, I liked some of the portrayals - Viggo Mortensen was *outstanding* as Aragorn, and Ian McKellen as Gandalf was fantastic. Billy Boyd was quite entertaining as Pippin, and John-Rhys Davies cracked me up, too, as Gimli. "That still only counts as one!" X D\n\nI especially enjoyed watching Miranda Otto.....oh, and also how she played Eowyn. ; )


Where is the Cistine chapel located? Why was it placed there?

The Sistine Chapel is a chapel at the Vatican in Rome.  It was put there because the Vatican can never have enough chapels.

Dateline did a study and the Conservative don't serve in the military, it's at all time 50 year low. They did 100's of survays, and the Republicans said it wasn't in there portfolios to do so.

MY boyfriend left me a few months ago for the second time, yet we remained good friends.  Today he informed me that he has been talking to someone for a couple of weeks, and they had a "date" the other night.  When I confronted him about it, he accused me of being predictably assumptive.  Please help, I love this man, and he has never done anything wrong to me, and never hurt me in any way.  He is a reformed alcoholic, and drug addict for 18 and 14 years... I drink, but am not an alcoholic.  Maybe it is just me, but I need this man,,,,,I need him and love him..... can anyone help me?

Sounds like you've been doing what men usually do:  assuming that the actual status of the relationship was closer to your expectations than to all the physical evidence.  Sorry to break it to ya, but if he broke up with you for the 2nd time a few months ago, then he hasn't been your bf for a few months now.\n\nYou can't make him love you, no matter how much you love him.  Maybe if you had addressed the reasons he broke up with you twice, he may have given it another chance.  But, maybe not.\n\nStop beating yourself up about it.  Love is a choice; and unfortunately, you've been reinforcing the 'habit' of loving him without much hope for reciprocation.  If you must, re-examine the reasons he broke up with you; but DON'T think that changine this late in the game is likely to win him back.  Think of it as self-improvement that will make you a better person, and more attractive to someone who will appreciate you more.\n\nMy heart goes out to you; I have a little experience in that area, too.

500 corporations hold the world's wealth and manipulate the world food distribution.  How can we help feed the people around the world that need food?

We do. But this but is big one.\nMany of the places that have starving masses today are not caused by the lack of food or water. BUT by man. A person wants to take over and there are to many people that are getting in his way so cut off the food It would bring the strongest man to his knees. To see how this works look up Joseph Stalin, Mao Tse-tung and  Pol Pot.


Muslims  Because they actually claim to accept the entire Bible as truth, they find themselves perched in a precarious position: Either they must make a valid historical case that Bible manuscripts have been massively \naltered - or they must abandon Islam entirely. \n\nThis is because the Bible clearly attests its completeness - in other words, it claims to be the final revelation from God. No other revelations will follow it. This doesn't leave much room for the Koran (or any other such-like "revelation from God") since the Koran came rather late to the party - 500 years late, in fact. And just as bad for Muslims is the Bible's repeated \nidentification of Jesus as the promised Messiah. Since the Koran does not recognize Jesus as the Messiah, the Koran glaringly contradicts the very Bible it claims to authorize. (13) \n\nThus, many modern Muslims have "bought in" to baseless charges of gross Biblical inaccuracy. Muslims claim the original Biblical books were 100% accurate, but the manuscripts were all tampered with by unscrupulous Greeks who purposely altered the Bible to make it sound like Jesus was the Messiah and to make folks doubt the Koran. They further assert that the only part of the Bible which perhaps can be trusted are those portions which do not disagree with the Koran, a book they believe is infallible. \n\nMuslims also believe all manuscripts of the Koran are also infallible, since Allah, they insist, guided the copying process to ensure 100% accuracy. This creates yet another logical difficulty for Muslims, who now must explain how those who copied the Koran were guided by Allah to prevent human error - but those who copied the Bible (which they also believe came from Allah) were not guided by Allah but instead plagued with a severe case of "blunderitis." Furthermore, to get \nevery manuscript to match, early Muslims destroyed every conflicting copy of the Koran, such that today no Muslim can be certain the Koran is even similar to that which Muhammad originally wrote. Did Allah guide only the hands of certain copyists?

Excellent question.\n\nI am not a Muslim, but I have to commend you on your logic.  Makes perfect sense.\n\nWhat I said actually means that few people are able to discern such logic.  You're going to be ridiculed.  Get used to it.  Those same people will believe the Muslims did the 9/11 thing when it is obvious they did not.  I'm confident you are aware of this.  Write me if I am wrong, noting of course that I realize you are not buying into the Muslim faith.\n\nI would recommend however, for some intense research, that you look into the Koran in greater depth.  Seek out a western interpretation by someone who has done in-depth research and you will be impressed.  It's not completely whacky.  The truth is though, all religion feeds off the other.  Very scary to be honest with you.  Makes a soul wonder what the hell is the truth?


Native American figure, possibly said this in March of 1948

Powwow on the Reservation\nA Conversation with Scott Momaday\nby Claes Nordenskiöld \n"You will forgive me if I tell you that my people were Americans for thousands of years before your people were. The question is not how you can Americanize us but how we can Americanize you. We have been working at that for a long time. Sometimes we are discouraged at the results. But we will keep trying. And the first thing we want to teach you is that, in the American way of life, each man has respect for his brother’s vision." \n\n\nAnother said: “The question is not how you can Americanize us but how we can Americanize you.”(45) \n45. Quoted in Edgar S. Cahn, ed., Our Brother’s Keeper: The Indian in White America (New York and Cleveland: World, 1969), pp. 184, 175.

It's called diplomacy and negotiation. Respect for others. International relations cannot be based on the concept of might makes right, or acting the bully.\n\nInternally, it means not using illegal means to achieve your ends. When the President signs bills (and it did not begin with GWB), he writes in reservations. The Constitution gives him only 2 options sign or veto. If he signs it with reservations and then expects to enforce those reservations, he is usurping Congress' purview. If it were not for the recent problem with Rep. Jefferson, Congress was readily ceding its power to the President. With A complaisant Supreme Court, we have the Imperial Presidency: if the President does it, it is not wrong.\n\nAnd half of the voting people are ready to give up freedom in the name of being rich, or secure, and thus deserve neither.

if a meter stick measureing 1 kg moves past measureing 2 kg and your measurements show a length of 1meter what is the sticks orentation?

The stick is moving on edge to the direction of motion. Since contraction due to velocity approaching the speed of light is always in the direction of motion, and the meterstick isn't contracted (it still measures a meter), then it must be aligned sideways to the motion. So, if it's moving horizontally, the meter stick is aligned vertically.


I really like him. he's so cute and funny and nice but im scared what do i do? i mean he flirts w/ me but never does anything else. should i tell him i like him. would it be fine to write my phone # in his yearbook and tell him i like him. should i ask him out? i have no clue but schools almost over and there isnt much time.

Okay, well I would not ask him out right away, but I would write on a piece of paper the simple words: "I like you". If you do not have the courage to give it to him right away...just wait. If he says "yes", GREAT! If he does not...Well there is someone out there for you. I hope this helps you (oh ya, DO NOT GO OUT WITH HIS FRIEND!!!!!

"\n\n\n What would you eat in the Army? \n\nThe food a soldier was given, or issued, each day by the Army was called a ration.   The ration for a soldier a day was, \n\n a pound of bread \n\n a pound of meat \n\n a gill of dry beans or peas \n\n a gill of rum\n\n \n\nA soldier was very lucky indeed if he received ½ of that!   \n\nThe bread was very hard - so hard that the soldiers soaked it in warm water until it was soft enough to chew.  The bread was hard because it was made with only flour and water.  The Army made the bread this way so it would last for a very long time before spoiling.   \n\nThe meat was usually salted beef or pork cut into strips or chunks and soaked in salt water so it wouldn’t spoil.  The Army issued salted and dried foods because that was the only way to keep food preserved.   \n\nUsually, the soldiers boiled the dry beans or peas with their meat.  After cooking a long time, the beans and peas became soft and the meat less salty.  The result was a tasty stew.    \n\nThe soldiers were supposed to mix their rum with water before they drank it.  Sometimes they were issued extra rum for doing extra work, or because it was a special day such as New Year’s or to celebrate a victory or comfort a defeat.  "

Too many pro ILLEGALS are jumping on the bandwagon and do dot know the issues at hand.  It appears to be a game with them, and this is serious problem.

Pro-illegals throw out the race card because they have no good basis for allowing 12 million foreigners to gain legal residence in the USA.  \n\nAnti-illegals have a slew of valid reasons to not give these people residency.\n\nWhy, oh why, should we have to give FOREIGNERS anything?  Countries have borders for a reason.  \n\nI think the most compelling reason to not give illegals citizenship is that it is undermining our control of the USA. We will make them VOTING citizens, and they are concentrated in the Southwest. WHY would we sell out the Americans in the Southwest like this??? \n\nI feel sorry for the illegals.  Let's send them charity when they GET BACK TO THEIR COUNTRY.  That's the whole pro-illegal argument anyway, that they are poor.

And I am always busy, but if I really like a girl, I always find time to kick it with her.  And the only reason I'm always busy is because I don't want to be broke, because when you are broke you are no fun.

A hybrid of which two giagantic mammals was discovered in late april 2006 near sachs harbour on banks island northwest territories canada?

On April 16, 2006 a polar bear of unusual appearance was shot by a sports hunter on Banks Island in the Northwest Territories. DNA testing released May 11, 2006 proved the kill was a Grizzly/Polar Bear hybrid. This is thought to be the first recorded case of interbreeding in the wild. [1] The bear was proven to have a polar mother and a grizzly father. The DNA testing also spared the hunter the C$1000 fine for killing a grizzly bear, and the risk of being imprisoned for up to a year. The hunter had paid C$50,000 for a license to hunt polar bears; he did not have a license to hunt grizzly at that time. [2]\n\nThe animal had dark rings around its eyes, similar to a panda's but not as wide. It also had remarkably long claws, a slight hump on its back, brown spots in its white coat, and a slightly indented face — the nasal "stop" between the eyes which polar bears lack. [3] The guide leading the hunt, Roger Kuptana of Sachs Harbour in the Northwest Territories, was the first to note the oddities.\n\nSeveral names were suggested for this specimen. The Idaho hunter who killed it, Jim Martell, suggested polargrizz. The biologists of the Canadian Wildlife Service suggested grolar or pizzly, as well as nanulak, an elision of the Inuit nanuk (polar bear) and aklak (grizzly or brown bear). Both grolar and pizzly were used by the Canadian Broadcast Corporation [4] in widely-distributed stories.\n\nPresently, though the mating seasons overlap, the polar bear's season begins slightly earlier than the grizzly bear's. A blog columnist for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer suggested that more hybrids may be seen as global warming progresses and alters normal mating periods. Dateline Earth Blog, reporter Lisa Stiffler, "You got your grizzly in my polar bear," May 11, 2006 The Canadian Wildlife Service noted that grizzly-polar hybrids born of zoo matings have proven fertile.[5]\n\nGrizzly bears have been sighted in what is usually polar bear territory in the Western Arctic near the Beaufort Sea, Banks Island, Victoria Island, and Melville Island. A "light chocolate colored" bear, possibly a hybrid, is reported to have been seen with polar bears near Kugluktuk in western Nunavut.

in the northern hemisphere, the water will go down counter clockwise when you flush the toilet.  In the southern, the water will go down clockwise..  how about the equator?

this is a fallacy.  The toilet doesn't flush in any particular order.  It's not big enough to experience the coriolis effect.  You can try your own experiment.  Flush your toilet 10 times and see which way the water goes.  So to answer your question, yes the toilet will flush on the equator, it's still subject gravity.

What the difference between baptist, methodist, catholic, lutheran, episcopal, penecostal, presbyterian, protestant, mormom, and jehovah's witness?

I'll answer it as best as I can:\n1. Catholics believe in the Pope, Protestants do not.\n2.Methodists believe in God and Jesus, but they emphasize free will.\n3. Mormons believe in the teachings of Joseph Smith, and they do not believe in smoking nor drinking coffee, tea, or alcohol.\n4. Lutherans believe in the teachings of Martin Luther, who truly believed that salvation is found in the word of God alone.\n5. Presbyterians believe in scripture, but its teachings tell that faith, grace, salvation are acquired alone.\n6. Episcopalians (also known as Anglicans) believe in the Apostles' Creed, the 39 articles of faith, and the Book Of Common Prayer. There are churches that have a service similar to Roman Catholics (known as Anglo-Catholicism; but they don't believe in the Pope), or they have services that are reformed like Lutherans which have no Catholic elements at all.\n7. Pentecostals believe in the Bible hands down, but they feel you need to be baptized in Jesus' name in order to get into heaven.\n8. Jehovah's Witnesses-Believe in the Bible, but they do not celebrate holidays or birthdays. They have minister and elders, but they meet a a place called the Kingdom Hall. They don't believe in souls; they believe that when death occurs you go to the ground but will be resurrected when the second coming occurs.


i have a Standardized hybrid bike (which i love) and it sits almost as upright as a cruiser. But anyway, i see road bikes going past me a lot and it seems the bikers are almost parallel to the ground! why? It is an aero-dynamic thing? :)

It is mostly an aerodynamic issue but also to use different muscles in your legs.  Unless they are in an all out sprint or time trial, you will see cyclists change positions on the handlebars frequently.  This is to alter the pressure on your back and tailbone and to incorporate different muscles into the pedal stroke.  Doing so allows you to remain comfortable for longer periods of time and maintain speed by introducing different muscle groups.  You will also occasionally see cyclists stand for brief periods.  This is also a way of relieving pressure to certain parts of the body to increase comfort.  All in the name of speed!

My first choice would be a old fashion boring dude with a beutiful heart and my second choice would be a weirdo that knows how to treat a woman right. the reason for my first choice is because i only look within the guys personality and if he got a huge heart he will respect me and love me for who i am. and i would go with the weirdo as second choice because evryone is differnt meaning evryone do their weird things for once in a while but hey if this guy do evryhting weird it aint that bad as he dont beat on me or something.

I live in Florida and want to compare with other people.  What state do you live in?

i dont' have homeowners insurance but i do know that my landlord only charges me enuff rent to cover hers and i live in louisiana...it's $250


Yes, I throw mine out the window all the time.  \nand i have an ashtray.


everytime we have sees and hears that someone is re-born and that person know wat happened with him/her in past birth, is it really happen or just a his/her thinking,i really love to know about this, i was watching discovery channel and they were showing one show regaring re-birth, one girl from Srilanka who died in the river when she was playing near river, she was just 5 yrs old at that time, she reborn and after many years she telling to everybody that she reborn and she remember how she died and where was her home and who was her parents,she meet with them also later, and how she tell,its all comes right, one american doc/sci..researched on it and tell in this world lots of peopels died in manyway, like,so he chosoen few peoples and ask them to make story to their imagenation,that they died some how and place, time and , and do u believe its match with 1 peoples whole things, so i still dont know wat is truth?

Do you believe in judgment Day? The death directly not go to heaven or hell but their soul still stay in one place waiting for the judgment day, the soul who's not rest in peace sometimes still haunted and who dies in peace still stay. You have known that people die in many ways and sometimes it's hurt and who died in accident or murder or unexpected death and like a miracle the soul get into somebody to tell what happened with him or her and how she/he die...still a mystery that's the GOd Will and life is unpredictable, isn't it?.


how do you use the internet at starbucks???

Make sure that you have wireless internet and it is turned on. Open your web browser. It will only let you go to the T-Mobile website. You have to register and sign up for a plan. You can buy a day-pass for about six bucks. If you grab the t-mobile brochure from the condiment counter there is a code for a free day pass and a cd. Im not sure what the cd is for.

How can I help my good mexican friend get a permit to come to america to visit .  Is there any way I (as an american) can make this process any easier for her. she has a date with the consulate but the date is later then she wants to go.\n\nThanks!

She will have to have a visa, possibly a tourist visa, but the stipulations are having 10k dollars in the bank in Mexico and land (as proof of her ties to Mexico, to assure that she will return there.) if she is a student, I hear, that it is easier. If she already has a date with the consulate, I dont think there is anything that you can do to speed the process.

My father drew a design for a coolant indicator, and the company said they couldn't use the idea. After the cars were manufactured, he saw the design right on the dashboard. What can he do to get his rightful credit. He also had a design for a badge that a company said they couldn't use. They fired him a couple weeks later and are now using his badge design for all their employees. He was hit by a drunk driver and is in a wheelchair. Is there anyone out there that can recommend a pro bono lawyer? Or any kind of help?? Thanks in advance.

Your dad could sue that company for infringement rights, becuase I think he could prove his case and have strong evidence against a company if he still has all of the plans and outlines of his design.\n\nFirst, he could contact the Better Business Bureau\n\nhttp://www.bbb.org/ (you have to find one in your area)\n\nSecond, he could contact the U.S.Patent and trademark Office\n\nThird, if he has lawyer, then he could simply file a lawsuit or grivance against the company. \n\nhttp://www.probono.net/  \nhttp://dir.yahoo.com/Business_and_Economy/Business_to_Business/Law/Professional_Organizations/\n\n\nLook in your local yellow pages that are lots of pro bono lawyers out there.


An investment firm that doesn't charge too much

If you want to save some real money, contact the Investors page of every company you are interested in investing.  Many companies today have what is called a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP or DRiP).  Moreover, many ALSO have a a "Direct Purchase Plan" through which you can purchase your very first share of stock, completely circumventing the need for a brokerage account.  The fees are much lower e.g. $1 per DRP trade instead of $19.99 a trade at Etrade. \n\nSimply buy stocks of companies you do business with.  I've involved myself in the employee stock purchase plan of every company I've worked for and invested in many others that have DRPs.\n\nExamples: Bank America, McDonald's, Merck, Pepsico, Proctor & Gamble, Regions Financial, Scana Corp, Outback steakhouse, etc.

i do. it's a waste of time. i would cut but then i have other classes to go to after.


All right, i have a huge question that will change the world. We were always taught that a quantity always has an opposite ie: -1 and 1 and when combined cancel each other out. We are also taught that 0=0 and 0=absolutely nothing, no value watsoever. then how can -1 + 1=0? Magnetic poles; let's say the positive poll is positively charged while the other is opposite but when they combine the value is 0 but there is a magnetic field! You cant measure its charge but there is an object there and how could it equal 0? when 0 is nothing? This can also be applied in math. Two opposite quantities when combined is nothing? i know its not true rather two opposite quantities equals an unmeasurable quantity, neither positive nor negative yet not equal to nothing. Eveything was created in pairs: matter and anti matter, if this were true, nothing would exist yet we exist. This proves that 1 + -1 = infinity. 2 oppsites doesnt make 0 it makes a completion. INFINITY=GOD Do you agree?

1 + -1 = infinity is a false statement.\n\ntherefore\n\ninfinity = god is also a false statement for all false values of god.\n\nAnyways, since you are asking a math question, think of it as adding a sine wave to a cosine wave.  The net resulting wave has 0 magnitude.  Just as having one apple then taking it away.  You are left with no apple(s).


I think he is sending it to get in the news, so that if Bush ignores it, he will gain ground with places like China and Russia.

Bush is an idiot, but Iran is a threat. Why Irans leader would put his whole country in jeapordy is just dumb. The US would destroy Iran and not even feel a scratch. Noone is that niave to think that any country right now could invade the US, so this means all wars are fought on their soil.. dumb moves.

I think i suffer from depression but some people think it mite be bipolar

Bipolar is another name for manic depression.  And manic depression manifests in different ways in different people.  \n\nI am not a doctor so I am only going by my own experiences being diagnosed with bipolar syndrome.  What I am writing here is just my opinion.  \n\nSome people go really high (which is the manic side) and spends tons of money, stay up for days on end, have all kinds of wild plans and some people cycle up and down all day long.  Watch your "cycles" of mood swings and log them.  Even shrinks will misdiagnose and will try to prescribe you like you are a lab rat.  \n\nBefore trusting anyone's (even a doctor's) diagnosis - get more information.  You have a computer - Yahoo search or Google search and see what you can find.  \n\nPlease do not trust what people think.  You will know if you are bipolar or manic and need medication by looking at your logs and seeing how your moods shift.  Be sure, if you decide to see a doc, that you take your log with you.\n\nIf YOU are bothered by your moods, seek help -- just don't listen to people who don't know what they are talking about -- and that includes most shrinks, since psychotherapy is not an exact science.  \n\nI can't tell you how many different psych disorders people/doctors can come up with!  I'd put money on no two deciding you have the same disorder!!!!!  Then there is the meds they will experiment on you with and the side effects.  Good luck - do your research online first, and trust your own instincts.

Has any one noticed how many georgeous chicks work the registers at Goodwill?  I'm really amazed becuase it can't be a high paying job, right? \n\nIs it just an Austin, Texas anamoly, or is this a national trend?  Per capita, they tend to have much better looking female employees than any other store.

No its just in Austin. Here in Las Vegas, they are a bunch of old ladies.


Yesterday we were out shopping, well, my 6-year old was really hyper, not paying attention and not listening to what I would tell him, but, a lot of times kids act up this way right?Well,when we got home I had an argument with my boyfriend because he was not acting patient,all he would want to do is tell my son to not do this, not do that.Well, he says that I do not know how to correct him sometimes, well,he is no angel either and when he was small did not pay attention many times either.I told him that he knew that I was never going to like for him to even tell my son "don't do that" or "no Isaiah!" he says, "well, I can't tell your son nothing because you get mad!"I say, well,to avoidproblems lets do this, "you will not say anything to him as I am the Mother and I will tell him when he does something wrong."He says that things should not be this way and to not ask him to take care of my kids anymore since I always tell him to watch them for a little bit.What do I tell him!This is BS!

no you are being foolish!  your boyfriend seems to care enough about your son to want to make him a better person by correcting his bad behavior.  If you ask your boyfriend to watch your son, then tell him not to correct him cause you are his mother, that is just wrong.  if you are letting your son get away with things, then you need your boyfriend to step in, cause it sounds like you are doing your son no favors, do you really think that he will be allowed to get away with the things that you let him get away with in school or society?  Incase you are unsure about the correct answer, it is NO.  And yes a lot of kids act up the way your son is, but that just means that they are being raised badly also, so dont base your judgemant on how other children are acting.


On the show "The Fabulous Life of.." which is featured on the channel Vh1, they always play this one song that goes: Dun dun dun, dun dun dun! And then a hip-hop beat kicks in. It's hard to explain but it starts off with a low trumpet or something and then this hot beat kicks in. Does anyone know? If you watch that show, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about cuz they play it all the time. Like furst it sounds like its from the movie Godzilla, and then the beat kicks in.

WHAT???  They play SONGS on VH-1???  Since when?!  ;)


A tuning fork with a frequency of 440 Hz is held above a resonance tube that is partially filled with water. Assuming that the speed of sound in air is 342 m/s, for what three smallest heights of the air column will resonance occur? Where will the nodes

We finished covering sound and resonance a few weeks ago. In order to get a standing wave inside the tube, a node must be at the surface of the water (since it doesn't vibrate very well) and an antinode must be lightly above the rim of the tube for us to hear. It's up to you to figure out the smallest waves that have those characteristics (in terms of the wavelength).\nSince wave speed is frequency times wavelength, it's not hard to solve for wavelength. Plug it into your previous results and you have your answers!


Looking for the oldest male and female actors that are still alive

Sean Connery, but he's still cool. Also, every woman that I have ever met still thinks he's sexy, lol. Burt Reynolds and James Garner are also some old actors. But Burt is still the man.


My ex is very possessive he is always at my house waiting on me when we get home... he leaves me dozens of voicemails daily varying from "i love you i need you please come back to me to i hate you your a fucking whore never talk to me again and if i see you with a guy ima kill them, i was with this guy for 2 years so ill always have feelings for him so i dont want to do anything that will get hin into trouble... what should i do?

How long ago did you stop seeing him?  I suspect the break-up wasn't that long ago because you've indicated that you're not fed up with the abuse yet.  If this behavior continues, you will become fed up.  He is stalking and abusing you. \n\nNot knowing your ex makes it difficult to say, but you should know that certainly personality types are known to carry this behavior to extremes ... criminal extremes.  For example:  slashed tires, rocks through windows, physical confrontations, etc... \n\nI have been the target of a stalker, and the longer it goes on, the worse it gets.  I would nip this in the bud IMMEDIATELY!.  \n\nFirst, send him a certified letter explaining that you do not want to see or hear from him again.  And, that if the abuse continues you will inform the authorities.  Do NOT meet with him.  This will only fuel any misguided belief that you are returning to him.  Keep a copy of the letter.  \n\nSecond, begin keeping a log of dates/times that he calls, or shows up at your home.  Note any threats or abusive language in the messages.\n\nThird, let family and friends know of the abuse. \n\nIf the abuse continues ...\n\nGo to the police and the court to have a restraining order issued.  And, take a self-defense class.  \n\nIf the abuse still continues, let the authorities know that he has violated the restraining order and purchase a hand gun. Take a firearms safety class so that you get comfortable using the firearm.  \n\nHopefully, he'll get 'it' after the certified letter, but if he is of the mind set to intimidate and terrorize you until you return to him, then the above steps may save your life.  \n\nStalking, in and of itself, is psychologically very disturbed behavior.  It indicates that his wants/needs are all that he is willing or capable of considering.  It also indicates that he is unwilling to limit his activities to the accepted norms of society.  In other words, stalking is not something to be taken lightly.  Be careful!


i hate her so much she has the IQ of a broken down car

She sucks and I hate her too. Yes she has the IQ of chewing gum


I know of a rentor that has a number of health issues with the landlord. She is looking for the housing codes regarding inadequate plumbing, termites, leaking roof,

You could try going to your city's web site and finding the Code Enforcement Dept. At most they will likely have email addresses of who to contact and at best they will actually provide your city's housing codes and a complaint form or email address.\n\nYou can also go to or call City Hall and talk to someone in the Code Enforcement Dept.\n\nIt may be the Health Dept. and/or Health and Human Services in your city.  Where I live it's all under the Code Enforcement Dept.\n\nYou can also go to Municode.com and see if your city is listed, if it is they should have all your city's codes that you can look at.\n\nhttp://www.municode.com/Resources/online%20Library.asp


Go up to one you like and say, "I think you are really hot".  After he gets over the initial shock, spend time talking to him and getting to know him.\n\nIgnore the dagger like looks from all those women who were hoping to get him instead of you.  They are losers waiting around, desperately hoping to attract attention to validate their pathetic, wretched lives.  While they are wasting time doing that, you are walking away with what you both want.  You have it, they don't.  That's the bottom line.


how has civilization developed? what do we call civilization? whats's its relation with culture?

A civilization is formed when a significant no. of people settle down in some particular area and start to grow food for themselves instead of hunting for it. \nFirst civilizations appeared in the plains between rivers Tigris & euphrates(present day Iran), the Nile valley(central Egypt); the Indus valley(India Pakistan border & its surroundings) & the Howang Ho-Yangste Kyang basin(North-central China). That of the tigris was the earliest starting in 3000 BC. The others started around 2500 BC.


I'm reading poems from Thelare Mongy in class, but I can't figure out what he's trying to say. Please help me out with this poem...thanks!\n\nThe Plight of the Unforgetting Gnats\n\nThe horror of the night gleaming into stark eyes\nhits the light still, confined by clear skies\nfighting, waiting, crying--no where to ascend\nFor the air's too heavy and wings unable to bend\nThe final chapter of the mundane, the minute, the disgusted\nEnds with horrendous thought\ncarried away by the army, \nchewed, teared, and ripped apart\nOnce beautiful now dwells in the depths of bellies\nlife reduced to morsels flavored like berries\nin the young so new, so naive, and unbeknownst to the gnat's dismay\nBeautiful light, signifying such hope and grace\nLeads us to our death, our holocaust, brings the dark on thy red face\nLives lived, too short far from the thread\nsimple memories, the most beautiful, the misunderstood\nunwritten lives ending, the light mislead.

You've heard the saying, "Not all that glitters is gold..."?\n\nYou see something that looks so great....so wonderful...you go for it....and end up dead.\nOkay, a little harsh...but things are not always as they seem.\n\nYou know, like "He looked really nice" but he ends up beating you within an inch of your life.\nOr maybe, "The steak looked so juicy and grilled so perfectly but in reality it was rotten and gave me food poisoning".\nOr..."She would never do something like, she's too nice and quiet to have killed her parents'.\n\nGet it?\n\nLOOKS CAN BE DECIEVING.

and then write the answer in simplest form

I like a guy but hes my ex's bestfriend.He said he likes me alot too,but since my ex still likes me,(eve though we broke up 3 weeks ago) he cant go out with me cuz it would be realllyyyy mean to my ex.I really like him though,so I dont Know what to do help.!

My cousin is like a best friend to me, & my "ex-girlfriend", who I've known for yrs., is still a good friend of mine & since they have alot in common with each other, I've hooked them up & he's been taking her out-(but they consider each other as "friends")-maybe he's afraid I'll be "hurt" seeing him with her but it doesn't bug me at all. -So you decide on dating his best friend,maybe it won't hurt him, Does he know about this? if not, mention it to him.


I have been working at call-center for 3 months.  I applied for "lead" position which is two steps below Team Manager (one step below assistant team manager).\n\nI am a shoe-in except that during a two-week period, I was having sleep disturbance problems and racked up 5 occurances.\n\nMy manager has to put that of his form and he said he'd put the # with no explanation and leave the explaining to me.  \n\nHow can I get the job?

Honesty is the best policy. When promoting people you must be able to trust that they will act with integrity. The main question for management will be, how can you ensure this not occurring if you receive the promotion?


i need a substance that will change hydroxyapatite to fluorapatite. i need as many details as possible.

Hydrofluoric acid (HF) is what you need. The hydroxyl group will attach to the hydrogen (making water) , and the fluoride will move on to the rest of the molecule.


respect"... it was written by the mexican mob.. what is to keep them from crossing the border with the rest of the illegals and then have a even stronger foothold in the southwestern united states? they kill without thought and they murder anyone that openly appose them.. do you think they are filtering into the united states among the illegals? do we want that kind of violence and trouble here in the united states? do we want even more latino gangs fighting and killing like they are around mexico city...in less that 20 years, the united states will not be the same as we know it because of all the illegal immigrants will change the way we bleive, the way we worship, the way we vote, the way we live..... this is not a racist statement, it was on the news last night.... just think about when there are more illegals that become legal and see how things shift... do we want to be like mexico???

No way...did that really happen? No...we do not want to be like Mexico. Every immigrant that comes to America (legally) should adopt this nations cultures and values regardless of where they are from. I am third generation Mexican-American, and I don't even know Spanish. In fact, my grandfather fought in WWII for the US and my other grandfather who served as a Christian Pastor had sons including my father who served in the US military and Vietnam. My family has always been here legally though, and even my grandfather who knew Spanish always preached....You're in America...speak English. So no, I don't think it's a bad thing to be of Mexican heritage, or any other for that matter, as long as you are a contribution to our society and not a burden. But if you are going to live in this country and migrate from another one, you should above all things FIRST be an AMERICAN. You chose this country...it did not choose you.


Yet another one has now embarrassed the country, and is getting away with crime. I wish people would stop acting like they are the royal family of the U S,  quit letting them represent you..

The Kennedys consider themselves royalty, and above the rest of the country. Everytime one of them gets into trouble, they just blame it on someone or something else. They wouldn't even know how to accept responsibility for their own actions. We should stop electing them and show them they are just like the rest of us.


Isn't it in everybody's interest that we leave a clean planet for future generations to live on?

1) the science behind the treaty is suspect and 2) implementing would bankrupt the country


I have a 10 year old son and he wants to sit his 11+ exam next year. We got him some sample tests and I noticed that there were a lot of algebra questions in it, which put the fear of God into me because I just don't understand it!\nIs there a really simple method to teach someone this bizarre mathematic?? \nI would love to help him with his homework but I find myself calling up his dad to come and help which makes me feel really stupid.\n\nplease help!!

Until you change your mind about math, you're not going to be able to help, no matter how much you want to.  Algebra isn't bizarre.  It's actually a pretty basic way to find an unknown. And you use it every day without realizing it.   For example, let's say you have $1.00.  You go to the store to buy apples.  They each cost 20 cents.  How many could you buy for $1.00?  That's algebra in its most basic form.  \n\nSolving algebra problems is no different than solving any other math problem.  Begin by breaking it down into what you know and what you need to know.  And always remember that whatever you do to one side of the equation must be done to the other side. \n\nTo help with your son's work, do it together.  He needs to learn the process more than he needs to get the right answer.  Work problems together and talk them out.  You'll learn from one another, and you'll really cherish the time together.


He's making me an offer to get me off of here...

Yes...While it has been enjoyable getting to know some people on the site, time to move on.\n\nI would recommend some sort of sidebar to it that if he fails, you get something in return above and beyond playing on Y!A again.


we can win in 5 but it will be a tough task with tallinder now being out for the rest of the playoffs. we have these rookie defenders coming up from rochester to start in their 1st ever playoff game. it won't be easy but they have done it all year long so why stop now. sabres in 5. lets go sabres.


i know martial arts iisnt about fighting i just want to know which is better and dont say its comparing apples and oranges because its not there both martial arts.

Hey, people, if you don't know the answer, don't just try to grab points.\n\nKung Fu is a family of martial arts.  Some of the forms inclue Wing Chung, San Soo, Shao Lin, and others.  They all encompass different techniques.  San Soo, for example, encompasses the animal forms, such as Tiger, Crane, Dragon, etc.\n\nTae Kwon Do is a form of MArtial Art that is very strongly focused on Discipline and kicks.  Either art is effective if used properly, and they transitionalize well together.\n\nBear in mind that there are Two differnet generalizations of Kung Fu:  So Style, which is Northern China, and Ki Style which is Southern Style.  Southern China is mountainous, and the moves with Ki Style are made for closed in areas where you need to use closer attacks and defenses.  Northern China holds the vast Gobi Desert.  Kung Fu from this region Is open, and the moves are large and a lot of ariels.  both are beautiful in their own right.\n\nTae Kwon Do is much more likely to be taught correctly in America than is Kung Ku, because MOST, not all, teachers do not separate the different philosophies of Kung Fu, and teach a generic form.


A jet has enough power to move to orbit, so what is the difference with a shuttle

ok..lets start\n\njet. power to lift off, cruise, and land with power.\n     highest alt is aprox 42000 ft.\n\nshuttle. no power to lift off, orbit or cruise, and land\n        without power (glide, no power)\n        it uses rockets for lift off, and burns off the rest\n        of its fuel for landing(deorbit), the rest of the \n       operation is glidding.\n        max altitue. aprox 200 miles.\n\n     hope it helps


I am not trying to provoke anyone but I would like to know, from atheists, what they consider to be their reason for living.\nIs it who can have the most pleasure, wealth, experiences, sex or power?

My reason for living is life itself. It's the only thing we have, or we perceive we have. As for the meaning of life, that's up to each and one of us. For me it is to make this an enjoyable place for all and that's what I'm trying to do. From a universal perspective, anything I do (or anything anyone does for that matter) is absolutely pointless, so we might as well enjoy this pointlesness that is existance. \n\n\n\nEdit, as a response to the asker's comments: \n\nWhy would my reason be weak? I mean, you basically answered your own objection in your comment. What is the point in doing good? There isn't one. But what is the point in doing anything else? What is the point in doing the wrong things, what is the point in eating ice cream, what is the point in doing anything at all? There is no point to any of them. Talking from the universal perspective. Our existance is as meaningless as the existance of a rock or a black hole. We are particles, nothing more nothing less. \n\nWhere am I going with this? Well, this absolute meaningless of existance enables us to give our lives any meaning whatsoever, as there is no pre-determined meaning, something that most religions suggest. I gave my life the meaning that I stated in my initial answer, because since there essentially is no point in anything and life in itself has no purpose, we might as well enjoy our conscious existance, since, after all, life is all we have got. And that's what I'm trying to do, make it all enjoyable for us. That's my own personal way in which I want to spend my life, at least right now. It is as pointless as anything else, however, why not be happy in all this pointlesness?


She is another opinionated, radical left winger.  Poor Elizabeth!

I'm not to happy about it either. I don't think I'll be viewing "the view" much any more!
