as for me... being gay in an arabic country is so hard... cause you have to hide it... and hidding things means that this is not right.. and i've been to many doctors.. trying to figure out my life... but i couldn't get clear answer... some of them think that being gay is a choice and you can control it.. some thinks that it's not a choice at all... i want any serious help please... thanks

It may be that conditioning may have a very small part of a person being gay but it would be a very small percentage of gay people that are effected in this way. However, I do think that the majority of gay people are born with this disposition.\n\nI am sure that most of you have heard of a condition called hermaphroditism (or the more politically correct term these days is 'intersex') where a person is born with the fully formed genatalia of BOTH sexes. The subject, apart from their genitalia, is physically and mentally sound in every other way.\n\nSometimes, these children are operated on at birth if the doctors decide (guess) that the baby appears to have a female or male inclination and the genitals are modified accordingly. In many cases though, a modified 'girl' grows up with feelings for other women and modified 'boys' grow up feeling something for other men. It seems in these cases, the doctors have made the wrong decision and the psychological makeup of the child was in fact the opposite to the physical modification they performed on the child. So even though, for instance, a child may be brought up as a girl with girls toys etc, the 'nature' side of the brain kicks in at puberty (if not before) and overrides the 'nurture' side.\n\nNow, if nature can produce a visible, physical example of developmental confusion on the outside of the human body, who is to say that there are not processes at work of developmental confusion going on inside the unseen brain of a person ... where there may not be an obvious physical example of gender disorientation externally but internally their brain does not dictate in the way that their external body would suggest to the rest of society.\n\nThere is very strong evidence that sexuality is largely determined by development in the womb. Perhaps, while 'intersex' is firm external physical proof of developmental issues, we ought to consider that perhaps the developmental differences in gay people are more subtle and obviously invisible to the naked eye due to the brain being internal - but that does not mean that the differences are not there.\n\nHomosexuality has been around since the beginning of time and if you research gay history in cultures across the world, the present prejudices seem to stem with the spread of the three major monotheistic religons and it is this prejudice that is ingrained into the psyche of people today. But like racism, for instance, perhaps this prejudice towards gay people will diminish as society recognises that alternative sexuality is actually just a normal part of nature's rich diversity.


I don't know how to handle the '2 adults' involved here either. Like I said, my l0 year old is out of control. She is quiet at school, but at home she's like one of these kids on a Montel Williams type show.. (theme: 'kids going to boot camp!') Her telling me 'shut up, stupid!' gets to me the worst.. I've tried laughing it off, 'showing her who's boss' w/loss of privileges.. nothing! I've 3 other (great, grown-up) kids. I had her when I turned 42 (yep!) I think her dad and his sister are (somewhat) to blame. (He's my second husband; it's HIS 3rd marriage..his only child.) His sister has always bought her things (she's no children.. figures, eh?) If Becky, the kid wants it.. she goes to Dad, or 'Aunt Rose..' Rose 'takes Becky shopping' and gets anything she wants.. til the money's gone.. DVD's, (this computer!) make-up (yeah, but I limit that..) She paid for her to on 2 dozen trips over the years.. NOW I've got this 'lippy' problem w/the kid's lack of respect (too many items!) HELP!

You first have to get this child under control quick!  She is going to be a teen from hell very soon if you do not nip it right now!!  First of all, I would gather up her stuff in her bedroom and put away so she cannot retrieve it anytime or anywhere.  If your husband argues, make sure it is not in front of your daughter.  Then she knows the "Dad" will be the one she can run to for your discipling.  \nTalk to your husband.  Discuss how you feel that your daughter is completely out of control and you both must work on this together.  Auntie is to stay out of the picture.  She can go and find some other child to spoil, not yours!  No more trips unless she has your approval first.  No stay overs with friends and the Aunt.  Take away that make-up!!  She in only 10 years old!!  There are plenty of years for her to wear it.  Let her be a kid.  Or make her realize she is just a kid!  \nAs far as the cussing is concerned, I wouldn't get upset with her at all.  Remain calm at all times (even though you want to rip your hair out).  Go over to her once (only once) and tell her that this is the last time you will allow foul language from her.  And you mean the last.  Walk away calmly.  She does it again, put her into a room without a television or anything she can do.  The bathroom maybe...She cusses again, hot sauce works wonders.  My son cussed and boy it may sound cruel, but I just told him that I was going to have those words burned out of his mouth.  Never again (that I have heard).  He is 20 now and still doesn't cuss.  \nAutie Rose needs boundries.  Have your husband speak with her.  If you feel comfortable, then you speak with her (with your husbands knowledge of course).  Tell Auntie Rose that Becky is to receive no more money, trips, make-up, clothes, or even a stick of gum without prior approval.  \nThis may sound harsh, but you as a Mom will be the one people look at when she starts acting up in public with you or even when she is in school.  For some reason, it is the Mom's responsibility.  If you do not want a terror, begin this very day.  NEVER-EVER back down.  You are the adult and she is the child.\nOnce she shows she can behave.  Give her one priveledge and one only.  Make that priveledge age appropriate too.  Keep reminding yourself she is only 10 and nothing more.  You do not want a "brat gone wild".  This is for her own good, not just yours.  Remind yourself that also.  \nIf she continues, she will get into more trouble as she grows.  She's spoiled rotten.  When she gets older allow her to have her television back.  The next year, her DVD player, etc.  Have the computer in a family spot so you can monitor where she is going online.  There are perverts out there waiting to prey on a child like your daughter.\nI could go on and on and on.  \nJust make sure she see both you and your husband backing each other up at all times.  If you two have a problem, discuss that is private when Becky isn't around.  Auntie Ruth will just have to bide her time.  She may learn a lesson too.  She is not the parent.  Yes, she is the Aunt, but spoiling a child rotten is not a real way of getting affection.  She of course can come around holidays, birthdays, etc. basically she is going to have to butt out and get her own life.  \nNext stop, a conselor.  You daughter is in desparate need of one now.  \nExcuse my spelling errors, but I can relate to your completely.  Your daughter just has been allowed to do things more advanced kids do.  Inappropriate in my opinion only.\nGood Luck With The Hellion!\nlovetofly


i've already said Paul Revere's Ride by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and "O Captain! My Captain" . Give me a gret speech besides the " I Have A Dream" speech.

This would be a great poem to use as a speech.\n\nA Brave And Startling Truth\nBy Maya Angelou\n\nWe, this people, on a small and lonely planet \nTraveling through casual space \nPast aloof stars, across the way of indifferent suns \nTo a destination where all signs tell us \nIt is possible and imperative that we learn \nA brave and startling truth \n\nAnd when we come to it \nTo the day of peacemaking \nWhen we release our fingers \nFrom fists of hostility \nAnd allow the pure air to cool our palms \n\nWhen we come to it \nWhen the curtain falls on the minstrel show of hate \nAnd faces sooted with scorn and scrubbed clean \nWhen battlefields and coliseum \nNo longer rake our unique and particular sons and daughters \nUp with the bruised and bloody grass \nTo lie in identical plots in foreign soil \n\nWhen the rapacious storming of the churches \nThe screaming racket in the temples have ceased \nWhen the pennants are waving gaily \nWhen the banners of the world tremble \nStoutly in the good, clean breeze \n\nWhen we come to it \nWhen we let the rifles fall from our shoulders \nAnd children dress their dolls in flags of truce \nWhen land mines of death have been removed \nAnd the aged can walk into evenings of peace \nWhen religious ritual is not perfumed \nBy the incense of burning flesh \nAnd childhood dreams are not kicked awake \nBy nightmares of abuse \n\nWhen we come to it \nThen we will confess that not the Pyramids \nWith their stones set in mysterious perfection \nNor the Gardens of Babylon \nHanging as eternal beauty \nIn our collective memory \nNot the Grand Canyon \nKindled into delicious color \nBy Western sunsets \n\nNor the Danube, flowing its blue soul into Europe \nNot the sacred peak of Mount Fuji \nStretching to the Rising Sun \nNeither Father Amazon nor Mother Mississippi who, without favor, \nNurture all creatures in the depths and on the shores \nThese are not the only wonders of the world \n\nWhen we come to it \nWe, this people, on this minuscule and kithless globe \nWho reach daily for the bomb, the blade and the dagger \nYet who petition in the dark for tokens of peace \nWe, this people on this mote of matter \nIn whose mouths abide cankerous words \nWhich challenge our very existence \nYet out of those same mouths \nCome songs of such exquisite sweetness \nThat the heart falters in its labor \nAnd the body is quieted into awe \n\nWe, this people, on this small and drifting planet \nWhose hands can strike with such abandon \nThat in a twinkling, life is sapped from the living \nYet those same hands can touch with such healing, irresistible tenderness \nThat the haughty neck is happy to bow \nAnd the proud back is glad to bend \nOut of such chaos, of such contradiction \nWe learn that we are neither devils nor divines \n\nWhen we come to it \nWe, this people, on this wayward, floating body \nCreated on this earth, of this earth \nHave the power to fashion for this earth \nA climate where every man and every woman \nCan live freely without sanctimonious piety \nWithout crippling fear \n\nWhen we come to it \nWe must confess that we are the possible \nWe are the miraculous, the true wonder of this world \nThat is when, and only when \nWe come to it


the companies that sell the product while also protecting my ideas? What could I expect the form of payment to be- a one time bonus, residual or ....other?

If your idea is truly unique you should look to get a patent before showing to anyone.  You should also make sure nobody else patented it.  Find a good patent lawyer.\n\nOnce you have this you can approach companies. There are many ways to profit on your idea and it may not be just one way and often depends on the needs of the specific company.


I go to this church and my friend came with me! I had this crush on a boy and my friend was going to find out his name age and all the goodies, well when my friend was 12 she almost got raped and when she ask the boy what his name was it was the boy that almost raped her! But he is in church and i really like this boy! But in my past bad stuff happened to me, I got molested twice but different guys (several time by both of them), and chased twice (by some high school boys and some old guy), I went in a store and some guy whistled at me, a guy showed me his penuis thro a window and a guy always stared at me! I am a little afraid of getting hurt again! But he is in church so would it be safe to still have a crush or even to date him?

i don't think u should date him...\nu can have a crush on him but don't date him...\nhe almost raped your friend so what's the chance of him not doing the same to u...\nyeah its church but that means nothing...\nsome boys go to church just to check out girls and not really pay attention to all that religious stuff..\nso don't date him...


Virtually every major Western leader has over the past several years expressed the view that Islam is a peaceful religion and that those who commit violence in its name are fanatics who misinterpret its tenets. This claim, while widely circulated, rarely attracts serious public examination.  We hear from prominent Western leaders that Islam is peaceful and that those who commit violence in its name are heterodox fanatics.  Islam is a violent, expansionary ideology that seeks the destruction or subjugation of other faiths, cultures, and systems of government. \n\nIslamic violence is entirely orthodox behavior for Muslims and stems directly from the teachings and example of the Prophet Muhammad and the commands of the Koran. We learn that the example of Muhammad is one of a violent warlord who killed numerous people. The Koran – the verbatim words of Allah – prescribes violence against non-Muslims and Muhammad is the perfect example of the Koran in action. \n\nJihad, while literally meaning 'struggle', in fact denotes war fought against non-Muslims in order to bring the rule of Islamic law to the world. Violent death in jihad is, according to the Koran, the only assurance of salvation.  \n\nTheir goal is expansion throughout the world, domination.  Following the death of Muhammad, his 'rightly-guided' successors carried his wars to three continents, fighting, enslaving, and massacring countless Christians, Jews, and Zoroastrians. Islam did not spread through evangelism or through its natural appeal, but through aggressive wars of conquest. The Crusades were largely a belated response on the part of Christian Europe to rescue Christians in the Holy Land suffering under Muslim oppression. The Muslim world today, while no longer the unified empire of the Caliphs, is exceptional for being responsible for the vast majority of conflicts around the world and for almost all of international terrorism. \n\nA great problem with Western efforts to understand Islam is due to the Islamic principle of 'religious deception', which enjoins Muslims to deceive non-Muslims in order to advance the cause of Islam. Muslim groups today in the West employ deception and omission to give the impression that 'Islam is a religion of peace', an utter fiction. \n\nThe most important characteristic of Islam not understood by the West is that it is more a system of government than a personal religion. Unlike Christianity, Islam has never recognized a distinction between the religious and the secular/political. Islamic law governs every aspect of religious, political, and personal action, which amounts to a form of totalitarianism that is divinely enjoined to dominate the world, analogous in many ways to Communism. \n\nIslamic theology divides the world into two spheres locked in perpetual combat, dar al-Islam (House of Islam - where Islamic law predominates), and dar al-harb (House of War - the rest of the world). It is incumbent on dar al-Islam to fight and conquer dar al-harb and permanently assimilate it. Muslims in Western nations are called to subvert the secular regimes in which they now live in accordance with Allah's command. Due to political correctness and general government and media irresponsibility, the danger posed by observant Muslims in the West remains largely unappreciated. \n\nWAKE UP AMERICA - THEY ARE COMING AND THEY ARE HERE !!! WHAT WILL YOU DO ABOUT IT ???\n\nwww.whatthewestneedstoknow.com

As you see most are not listening and choose to listen to the pro-Islam deceit.\n\nI am firmly convinced that the Antichrist comes out of Islam in the guise of their awaited Mahdi, and have been warning people of Islam and those thinking about converting to Islam.\n\nDaniel chapter 9:27 speaks of the abominable temple - the Abomination of Desolation that sits on the wing of the temple (Temple Mount). The Dome of the Rock and its sister Mosque sits squarely on a wing of the former Temple Mount.\n\nThat is just the lead in among other passages which suggest heavily (to me) that the Antichrist who himself will cause desolations comes from the religion who thrives and thrives on desolation.\n\nAll you can do is warn them. If they don't listen after the warning and they continue to mock  those sounding the alarm (and most will not) their blood is not on our hands. We can not force anyone to believe a word.\n\nThe Bible foretold of a great falling away and now many former self professed Christians are running straight into Islam's arms to convert.  We can empathize with the prophets of old who warned people of calamity and they did not listen.\n\nClassic case - Noah's warnings were laughed at as well.


i will give it another week before i see the doc.

Before you do anything drastic try a couple different pairs of shoes. Maybe something is rubbing it the wrong way when you walk or the material may be causing a reaction. Would have to know a little more details to give you any more advice but I hope it is something simple.


related 2 light rays plz not bcuz its dark im not that stupid !!

The image of the book is not projected from the book. When you "see" an object you aren't actually seeing the object your eyes are detecting the light waves or photons of light that are transmitted from a light source then reflected off that object. If there is no light source there will be no reflected light. And you will not be able to see the object with your eyes. This only applies to visible light. If the object is warmer than it's surrounding environment it will radiate infrared light (heat) which is not visible to the human eye but can still be sensed by touch.


You have a choice of three humanities couses, four sociology courses, five sciences, six math courses and three music courses.  How many different sets of 5 courses are possible?

yes here you can consider in terms of set like :\nHumanity={course1,course2,......}\nSociology=(course1,...........}\nScience=(course1,...........}\nMaths=(course1,...........}\nMusic=(course1,...........}\n\nhere n(Humanity)=3\nn(Sociology)=4\nn(Science)=5\nn(Maths)=6\nn(Music)=3\n\ntherefore no of ordered pairs will be equal to=3 x 4 x 5 x 6 x 3= 1080

Drink a bottle of water as soon as you get up.  It will jump start your metabolism so that your breakfast will digest faster.  It also perks you up a bit without inudating your body with a bunch of cafeen first thing in the morning.


I know mass has been converted into energy, I do not know if the opposite is true.

A lot of answers, a lot of wild guesses, really! For heaven's sake, please talk physics here!!!\n\nOf course energy can be converted into mass. Have you heard about the process called 'pair-production'?\n\nPair production refers to a process of creation of an elementary particle and its antiparticle, usually from a photon or neutral bosonic fields (which are just energies). This is allowed if the following conditions are satisfied:\n1. There is enough energy available to create the pair: at least the total rest mass energy of the two particles. \n2. Linear momentum, angular momentum, electric charge, etc. must be conserved during the process. Therefore, the created particles must have those quantities to be exactly opposite (say, if one particle has spin +1/2 then another one must have spin −1/2).\n\nPair production from an energetic photon:\nFor example, pair-production occurs when a 1.022 MeV gamma-photon interacts with a heavy atomic nucleus, and produces an electron and a positron without violating conservation of momentum. Pair production cannot occur in empty space out of a single photon because the momentum of the initial photon must be absorbed by something, and the heavy nucleus is thus required to conserve both momentum and energy.\n\nThe energy of the photon 1.022 MeV, as described above,is the total energy of twice the electron mass. If we have much more energetic photons, heavier particles may also be produced. These interactions were first observed in Patrick Blackett's counter-controlled bubble chamber, leading to the 1948 Nobel Prize in Physics.\n\nPair-production in a neutral bosonic field:\nIn semiclassical general relativity, pair production is also invoked to explain the Hawking radiation effect. According to quantum mechanics, at short scales short-lived particle-pairs are constantly appearing and disappearing in a region of strong gravitational tidal forces, the two particles in a pair may sometimes be wrenched apart before they have a chance to mutually annihilate. When this happens in the region around a black hole, one particle may escape, with its antiparticle being captured by the hole.


According to the divorce decree, I should pay half of medical expenses, which I dont have a promblem with.  But, I have received no bills, now she wants $3000 for them or she will take me to court.  She is in Arizona, I am in Illinois.  I dont have $3000 for two years worth of bills.  Can she make me go to arizona to court, or does she have to come here.  Am I in trouble?  What do I do? I have never missed any child support payments even though one daughter does not live at home.  Also she has my other daughters car payment as a bill.  I dont get it.

In my opinion, she should have given you the amounts AND receipts along the way, not 2 years worth at once without any proof of the bills.  That is going to make it harder for her to collect I imagine.  Sounds like she ran short of money and thought of you.\nSure you should pay what you agreed to, but a written agreement needs to be made about how she reports the expenditures to you and when you will reimburse her.\nAs to the courts, I am unsure if she can make you go to Arizona.  I suspect that the court in the State where the divorce was done would have jurisdiction.  Do you pay directly to her or through the state?  If the state, contact their child support office and/or the court where divorce was finalized.


1.Who s fault is it that Jesus the son of God died?\n2.And why did he have to die?\n3.Didnt he have the right to express his thoughts about God?\n4.Is it true that it was the Jews that killed him?\nThats what Ive heard.\n5.If not,who did kill Jesus and what religeon did they follow?\nPlease answer each question and in order.\nThanks.

1) All of us\n\n2) We are born with the sinful nature, and we can't get rid of our sins alone. God cannot be in the presence of sins, so therefore we couldn't be with Him when we die. God's way to cleanse our sins is by blood, and Jesus who lived a perfect life, died for our sins on a cross once for all. So that if we choose Him, our sins are washed away, and when we die, we will be in Heaven with Jesus.\n\n3)Yes, but what He did, He proclaimed that He was God's Son, making Him equal with God, and they considered it blasphemy, even though He was telling the truth.\n\n4) The high priests said Jesus considered Himself equal to God, and that was blasphemy to them, and the penalty for blasphemy is death, so technically yes, but He still died for all of us.\n\n5) See Above


I just bought a sony dvd burner for my tv..  Is there a way to get around the copyright crap so i can copy dvds??

I don't know the answer to your exact question, but I can tell you that there is software to do this on your computer.  DVD Encrypter is one, and I think you can find it for free.  DVD burners for your PC are like $40, so you can probably afford a second one.  If you'd like me to get you more info on how to burn from PC, email me.


coming home from iraq, and im hoping to earn something get lucky somewhere.

Your can invest in:\n\n- Stock market: get in touch with a stockbroker; but this is not a sure bet\n\n- Savings: low risk low return; if you want to invest look out for compound interest savings.\n\n- mutual fund managers: not a sure bet but at least the fund managers will be able to diversify your investment. Diificult to spread your option in stock market if you are low in initial fund so mutual fund is one option. Check out this company that offers fixed investment return as an example of what fund managers can offer: http://www.swisscash.biz/web/asc_company.aspx


How did it work out? Did the company pursue legal action if you went to work for a competing company?

That's a tricky situation. It's hard for a court of law to deny a person of making a living. (This is different in each state)\n\n99% of the time, as long as your not stealing customers, giving away proprietary information, or slandering the former employer, action is not usually taken especially if you live in a "Right to work" state.\n\nOne other thing to consider is the field you are working in. I wouldn't lose sleep over a non-compete at the local landscaping company, but I wouldn't go against Microsoft. Plain and simple, the more a company has to loose the more they will try to enforce it.


What are the efeccts of wine in the fetus?

my boyfriend is LDS and im a baptist so i have only been taught one thing, about how the mormon church is so bad, but my boyfriend is telling me how great it is and how similar it is. is it similar? i looked throught the book of mormon and i have no clue. plus my mom relally hates the mormons due to her used to being one a long time ago. i need some advice or if you know about this please tell me. its not relaly an issue, but sometimes it does get tense about religion and stuff. at least we both belive about salvation throgh jesus blood. please help!!!!!

The Book of Mormon fails on three main counts. First, it utterly lacks historical or archaeological support, and there is an overwhelming body of empirical evidence that refutes it. Second, the Book of Mormon contains none of the key Mormon doctrines. This is important to note because the Latter-Day Saints make such a ballyhoo about it containing the "fullness of the everlasting gospel." (It would be more accurate to say it contains almost none of their "everlasting gospel" at all.) Third, the Book of Mormon abounds in textual errors, factual errors, and outright plagiarisms from other works. \n\nIf you’re asked by Mormon missionaries to point out examples of such errors, here are two you can use. \n\nWe read that Jesus "shall be born of Mary at Jerusalem, which is in the land of our forefathers" (Alma 7:10). But Jesus was born in Bethlehem, not Jerusalem (Matt. 2:1). \n\nIf you mention this to a Mormon missionary, he might say Jerusalem and Bethlehem are only a few miles apart and that Alma could have been referring to the general area around Jerusalem. But Bethany is even closer to Jerusalem than is Bethlehem, yet the Gospels make frequent reference to Bethany as a separate town. \n\nAnother problem: Scientists have demonstrated that honey bees were first brought to the New World by Spanish explorers in the fifteenth century, but the Book of Mormon, in Ether 2:3, claims they were introduced around 2000 B.C. \n\nThe problem was that Joseph Smith wasn’t a naturalist; he didn’t know anything about bees and where and when they might be found. He saw bees in America and threw them in the Book of Mormon as a little local color. He didn’t realize he’d get stung by them. \n\nTell the Mormon missionaries: "Look, it is foolish to pray about things you know are not God’s will. It would be wrong of me to pray about whether adultery is right, when the Bible clearly says it is not. Similarly, it would be wrong of me to pray about the Book of Mormon when one can so easily demonstrate that it is not the word of God." \nhttp://www.catholic.com/library/Problems_with_the_Book_of_Mormon.asp


do u know the name of the latest coldplay hit? the one with that old ballerina in the harbour... thank you!

The name of the song is called 'Hardest Part', the latest from their album 'X & Y'. Good song, Weird video though.


Is there software/program that can help you make nice letterhead for mailing envelopes?


It makes you a person who knows what she likes. There's nothing wrong with that! You have your kids, your own interests and hobbies. That makes you an individual, and not someone who runs with the crowd. It's cool if your fiancee likes clubbing and all that...as long as he doesnt't make you feel bad for not going, and you don't feel like he doesn't spend time with you. Don't let anyone tell you what "cool" is. It's different for everyone.


Some people have so many spelling problems! It's so hard to read their answers! I'm only 13 and I can spell better then people that are two times my age! Any opinions?

I'm 35 and I agree with you.  I know many people use "computer words" like initials, abbrevations and such.  I see a lot of that.  I did well in school with writing, spelling, punctuation.  I still do and tend to type out complete words and sentences when I am on the internet.  To each their own.  But I do think some just don't know where the keys are.   :)\n\nP.S. It's 1:50 am here, and your 13.  Shouldn't you be in bed!?!?!


http://www.wlky.com/education/9158826/detail.html\n\nThis story really irks me because this woman is being punished for a mistake she made so long ago. She worked hard to make her life better and found a career that she loves and is seemingly good at. What is gained from her dismissal?

HELL NO she should not be fired for doing this, and this moral prissiness and fake outrage are indicative that people STILL stereotype teachers in a way that NO OTHER profession gets stereotyped.  Who would care if your banker made a porno?  Who would care if your plumber, your hairdresser, or anyone in any other field did this, and then went on with his/her life and went into a completely different career?  NO, she should ABSOLUTELY NOT be punished for actually being a woman and having a sexual side to her, and that's the real situation here.  \n\nIt pisses me off as a teacher NO END when I hear this kind of crap because it's all about people's limited, narrow ideas of what teachers are, and what they're supposed to act like.  DAMN AND BLAST this nonsense!  What BeckyW said was a load of crap, too.  You don't need to look at this from a parent's point of view; or rather, that particular parent might open up her mind a little and understand that none of us -- not one! -- are paragons of virtue.  We are all sexual beings, and our jobs have not a damn thing to do with this.  People may have many careers in their lives.  \n\nWhat bothers me is the mean, vindictive spirit behind all of this.  If I read the question correctly, some boys (in her class?) found the video.  Nice use of research skills, buttheads.  Sigh.  Let's turn this question around and shine a spotlight on the people who most need to answer for their behavior: the EXTORTIONISTS and BLACKMAILERS -- these boys -- who dug into her past without any known provocation, found this, and then used it to exploit her, embarrass her, make her uncomfortable, and make her professional life very iffy and uncertain.  Why?  Why in God's name would someone stoop so low, and do something so rude, obnoxious, stupid, hurtful and insensitive?  \n\nCan we please just stop, stop, STOP blaming the victim here?  Look instead at these idiots who started this whole mess.  It seems to me that because this woman is actually a functional human female who actually enjoys her sexuality, this is a threat to some people, especially immature s-h-i-theads who have nothing else better to do than to ruin someone's life for NO GOOD REASON.  \n\nSpeaking as a teacher and addressing those who said she actually needed to be fired, and speaking as someone who has a private life, get off your damn high horse.  I'm not addressing the person who asked this question when I say this; I'm addressing the prissy moralists out there who need to pull their heads out of their a-s-s-e-s.  \n\nQuit with the fake moral outrage.  Live in THIS century and THIS decade.  Realize that your job has nothing to do with your private life.  Realize that no one ever needs to be exploited and blackmailed professionally for something that happened YEARS ago.  \n\nIf anyone should pay for this, it's these boys who did this horrible, exploitative, mean-spirited, rude, obnoxious thing to this innocent professional who is there to make a difference.  \n\nAnd oh yeah, by the way... it's not a crime, morally or legally or socially, to have a dayjob and an active sex life.  \n\nCheers, K who is against stereotyping and stupidity


who killed the american president john F. Kennedy?

The latest story I just read suggested that Jimmy Hoffa and a couple of his Mafia buddies had him killed.


Real estate laws differ from state to state.  I can tell you that in Florida there you have a couple of options:\n\n1. Sue them for specific performance which means that it goes to court and if the judge agrees with you they must sell.\n\n2. They can back out but if the process has already cost you money, they have to cover your expenses (appraisal, inspection)\n\nHope this helps.


I believe that former President Bill Clinton, despite his many romantic mistakes, was one of the geatest Presidents we ever had. Our economy flourished under his presidency and we were respected by the all world. Our former first lady had a lot to learn from him and can bring us back to prosperity .

HAHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!\n\nThank you for a good laugh.


Once you got to the center of the tunnel would there be any gravity or would you fall straight through?

So if you dug a tunnel through the Earth, ignoring the molten lava, and if you fell through the tunnel you would indeed get stuck in the center of Earth's gravity well.


My grandpa died 3 1/2 yrs ago and my grandma who now lives with us always talks to him like he's still there. We try to tell her that he's been gone a long time now, but she just gets mad at us and says to stop teasing her. What should we do to convince her he is really gone?

I'm not sure you should do anything. He was an important part of her life for so long and with such great love that in her mind he will always be there. In her mind, he is there. That is where he lives now. Let her keep him alive along with her memories of him. You wonder if I have heard of anything so sad. That is not sad. It is a conformation of true love. I have never heard of anything so wonderful as a very strong love and commitment that transcends life and death.\n\nGod bless her, her loves and you and your family.\n\nSincerely,\nTerry

Let the U.S. show the gas companies that citizen can fight back. This forth of July no one go on vacation. They say that if you try to screw someone so much you might just screw yourself. Less revenue for business less taxes for the goverment. Come on guys they say giving a bully what the want only make a bully more agressive.It reinforces his behavior. United we stand divided we pay high gas prices.

I think if we all had solidarity we could pick one of the big oil company's each month and not buy from them. Forcing them to scale down or sell their oil wholesale to the other company's. Let's say for the entire month of June we don't buy any products from Exxon/Mobile. That might get their attention.

Wat are the qualifications one needs? can some 1 help..

Start checking the airline and airport web sites for the jobs that are available and the requirements. Many jobs involve customer service, so if you can gain experience interacting with people in a similar capacity, that may help.\n\nJobs with airlines are going to have a lot of security restrictions. Make sure you don't get anything on your record that would cause problems getting security clearance.

Did you ever fall in love but were afraid to tell her?What made this girl special and DIFFERENT than all the others?Do you still remember her?What made her so unforgettable to you?INCLUDE ALL DETAILS.

WOW.  I feel that same way right about a girl.  I never told her though.  Now I regret that and am trying to contact her.  I think about her constantly.  She meant so much to me and I wish she would know that.  She is smart, nice, caring, and so beautiful.  She is my dream girl in reality.  Seriously.  We didn't talk that much (I'm kinda shy) but when we did, they were unforgettable.  I can tell you exactly what she said each conversation.  I like her so much.  I've had girlfriends, but she is totally different.  I really want to go out with her.  I gotta find her.  Well that's my story.  Hope you like it.

I am a Computer Science graduate. I am not into programming, neither am I am a hardware person. In short, I am not a technical person. What are the options available for me? Please advise further study & work options. Thanks in advance!

Support IT is a great career choice with many advances possible. Yes, you will be doing support calls for a time but you have to start somewhere. While doing that you can get more classes under your belt in the field of business or higher computer education such as communication theory or whatever you like. CS BS is a good spring board into whatever it is you're looking to do in computers.\n\nKeep your attitude up and all else will fall into place. Any major engineering company will have a position for you. It may not be exactly what you want but once you're in you can work your way around.

I really like this guy at my school but i don't know if he is gay.  He's always wrestling with this guy on my bus but then he hugs a lot of girls all the time.  How do i tell if he is gay?

I went through this same dilemma. I came out during my sophmore year of highschool. And there was the most drop dead gorgeous guy there. His name was Gary. Let me tell you. Anyways, I wanted to be with him very badly, but did not know how he felt. So I befriended him. We started hanging out, and stuff like that. Well two years went by and still nothing. Well in December of our senior year a bunch of us were out at a  party. His girlfriend was there and everything. (He had this girl for 3 years now) Well I went outside for a smoke, and he followed me outside and complimented me on my new glasses. Ok no big deal. Well we sat there and talked, smoked a few cigs and went back in. My best friend and I decided to get into the hottub. We had been sitting there for about a half hour or so when Gary came in. My best friend got out and went to go get a beer. I mentioned that my shoulder was buggin me from a fall I had taken earlier that week. So he reaches over and starts to rub it. Then we kissed, and ended up ditching the party and ****ed all night long lol. The next day he dumped his girl and him and I have been in a relationship ever since. So even the most straight acting guys may be gay. You just never know!


Hard Rock Hotel San Diego.  Looks like a good investment from the outside. I need a tax write off.  Are there tax advantages for buying this type of investment?  What can you write off?

On the Federal level it is doubtful there are any tax-benefits unless maybe you build "affordable" housing. As far as state and local tax breaks are concerned: possibly. I doubt San Diego or California has any such incentives. If you build in an area without any hotels/condos and have a community or state wanting to build up their own tourism industry, then there may be generous tax abatements, tax deferrals, and other incentives.

My mother left a house in NY to 4 siblings, 3 of us want to transfer ownership of the house to the sibling who lives in state.  The 1 remaining sibling (who lives on the west coast) will not respond to any contact. What are our legal options?

They can hold everything up, which is why this is such a hard spot to be in.  We studied the ways to inherit property when I got my real estate license.  This problem came up again and again as an example of what happens when parents leave property equally to all children.\n\nIf you can't reach them by phone and work it out, you'll have to get a lawyer.  Which is never good for family.\n\nYou are all joint tenants.  Two of you can sign over to the third, who will then be in joint tenancy with the 4th.  The first two will be out of the equation for any remaining decisions on the property, effectively the same relationship as before- just less people involved.\n\nYou can legally sell your shares to the third as well as give them away.  Good luck, I wish you well.


I am in the military. Several years ago, the base installed cable TV in many of the workplaces here on base. Now, I think that people are making serious mishaps in part because their minds are not on their jobs anymore because their watching too much Cable TV and playing to many video games at work.\n\nI can't say that too much cable tv and video games could cause rollover accidents and other costly mishaps; however, I wouldn't want to rule out the possiblity that Cable TV and video games are a contribuiting factor.\n\nWhat do you guys think?

I agree pal. I joined RAF 1977  and we made our own entertainment. Darts, pool, snooker we never had much but we had friends. Now they live in en-suite rooms with showers, internet and cable tv. Best of luck to them but it means the quiet get left behind and a lot end up committing suicide, sometimes accidentally if you get my drift though it is a very small proportion. Our society has gone soft and our armed forces are reflecting this. People did not leave the London Underground and go to their stress counsellor. They had a cup of tea and got on with it. Now, has my pension arrived in the bank yet.

Yeah, the official story is that she was hungry and broke in cause she needed food and shelter...But, is that what REALLY happened or was she a 500 dollar a night call girl brought in by Papa Bear to spice up marriage 'just right'???   What would you have written as a plot line?

If I'd written that fairy tale, it would've been along similar lines, with Goldilocks paying a call to the Bear residence.  As with most stories of this sort, there wouldn't really be a plot, per se; just the bare minimum necessary to string together the sex scenes.  \n\nHot, steamy bear-sex scenes.


at what state of pregnancy can you tell the sex of the baby


I have a wide range of friends and pretty much all of them have had sex except for like 2 and i havent yet and when they tell me they do it and how fun and amazing it is i get uncomfortable cause usually i can relate when they tell me stuff, but when they talk about this i cant! Right now i have a lot of pressure to do it but my concience is right in there telling me no. plus i have a boyfriend who i think wants it but he is making me mad and i might dump him soon. Should I just go ahead and do it so i wont feel stupid anymore????

thats definitely the wrong reason to have sex, you sound like a smart girl, but having sex just to be able to relate to your friends is not smart.  ESPECIALLY if you're thinking of dumping him.  your first time should be with someone you are in love with.  your friends should respect that.

In hot weather, using a clothesline has two energy benefits: saving energy by not using the dryer, and reducing the need for AC (because dryers put out heat into the home).  How much energy is then saved for a large load of laundry?

I looked up on line that a dryer uses about 4kW and on average 13KWh per day.  It's like powering 40-50 light bulbs when it's running.\n\nA Watt is a unit of electrical power, which expresses how much energy (measured in Joules) gets used or transmitted per second.  \n\n1 Watt = 1 Joule/Second \n\nCost (for me) per day is $0.056/kWh * 13kWH = $0.73\n\nI think that most of the heat is diverted out of the home but your right it does get hotter around a dryer.  It would vary greatly though depending on the dryer, insulation, venting, how much lint is in the filter etc.  I have no idea how to calculate the amount of heat energy that would escape into your house.


Did anyone have a breast reduction surgery??? Do you think you will have side effects in the future? Did the surgery help minimize your problem?? Tell me all you know about breast reduction, please........

I had one back in 91.  I wouldn't change my decision.  Only thing I wish I had been more informed about was that it would reduce and or cause you not to be able to produce milk for any babies you may have in the future.  Surgeries have been enhanced significantly now, compared to when I had it done...so certain procedures aren't done as commonly now.  Make sure that your doc thinks that you are through any chance of puberty as well...mine was done when I was almost 18 and they still grew in the years after surgery.  So good luck, and the more research you do, the more prepared you will feel.\n\n:-)\n\nPS...Also...if the doc can find that it is a medical necessity because of maybe back pain or bruising on the chest cavity from your bra, insurance will more likely cover it, as long as it is not found to be just a cosmetic choice.


I have seen on numerous occasions a Christian stating that the theory of evolution is false because it is a theory, not fact. Apparently they believe that something can be proven completely true.\nWell, here's how it works:\nA theory in mathematics can be proven to be true. There is a 100% chance that the answer is true. In science, however, a theory can never be completely proven true. It might be able to be proven true to such an extreme that it is regarded as truth, but it still remains a theory. A wonderful example is the theory of gravity. There is tons of evidence, but it remains a theory. Would any one of you argue that gravity is false because it is only a theory?

The earth is 4.6 billion years old. The sun is close to 5 billion. Liquid water did not exist on earth until about 4 billion years ago. Life seems to have appeared 3.8 billion years ago. By 3.5 billion years ago, we have fossilized stromalites which are IDENTICAL to the ones still made today by prokayote blue-green algae in the Indian ocean.\n\nThe first eukaryote organisms (with cells structures like ours) first show up 1 billion years ago. Within 500 millions years from then, complex forms can be found in the fossil record which are ancestral to modern lineages. But here are NO fish, amphibians, reptiles, mammals or birds. These all arise later in sequence by evolutionary modification as the fossil record clearly shows.\n\nThe bottom line is that only evolution provides a comprehensive argument that explains what we see in the fossil record. The Intelligent Design people are frauds who misrepresent the data and are no more credible that the Gish/Morris combine of liars that plaugued us in the 70s and 80s.\n\nI (Dr. Art Sippo) am a 53 year old cradle Catholic with a BS in Chemistry (Magna cum laude)from St. Peter's College, an MD from Vanderbilt University, and a Masters in Public Health from Johns Hopkins. After Catholic apologetics, paleontology is my favorite hobby. I have been studying it since I was a kid in the 1950s.\n\nWith regard to "macroevolution" that term is actually passe. It is still touted by Creationoids so that they can say they support microevolution but not macroevolution. These terms were used around 30 years ago before the discovery of the complexity of eukaryote genetics. Microevolution was what happened when there were single alterations either in DNA sequences or protein sequences due to mutations. There were other mechanisms that worked in bacteria (eg., conjugation, plasmids) but their utility in eukaryotes was questionable. At that time it was assumed that prokaryote (eg, bacterial) genetics was directly applicable to eukaryotes (eg, mammals). We now know that this is not so.\n\nEukaryote genetics is so complicated that it has not been fully elucidated. There is modification of the transcription of DNA to messenger RNA, a further cropping of m-RNA into introns and extrons, and further modification of the proteins for which they code. None of this happens in prokaryotes.\n\nAlso eukaryotes use a "homeo box" generalized assembly kit which is functionally identical in all lineages and which can with slight tweaks make large changes in how the genotype (DNA data) is expressed into a phenotype (external structure). \n\nAlso, eukaryotes use chromosomes which rearrange themselves spontaneously in several different ways. This helps to contribute to evolution in the absence of any DNA mutations.\n\nAll of these mechanisms -- and more -- contribute to evolution. In fact everything that is necessary for what had been called "macroevolution" is present in these more complex genetic systems.\n\nWith regard to the changes in species of higher animals, many Creationoids have said that there were large systematic gaps between major taxa. They are right, In the linnean system there are large SYSTEMatic gaps, but these gaps are due to the system of classification, and do not correspond to real biological differences. Linnaeus was a Creationoid. He thought that each species was distinctly made by God. So he created a complex classification system that emphasized distinctions and did not assume common descent. In reality, his classifications were merely man-made conventions that limped badly. For example, the Class Reptilia included not only lizards but snakes (some of which bear live young and don't lay eggs), turtles, crocodiles (that all have 4 chambered hearts), dinosaurs (some of which have feathers), ichthyosaurs, mososaurs, plesiosaurs, and pterosaurs (some of which have fur).

I know a guy who is very religious (Christian) and very gay. His religious beliefs have made him decide to wait until he is married to have sex. He is very loving and accepting of everyone, in him his gayness and spirituality seem to go together perfectly, i was wondering if anyone else has experience with homosexuality and Christianity working harmoniously together.

I am a Christian, and bi-sexual.  And perfectly happy being so.\n\nInteresting facts:\n\nIn Ancient Hebrew, there was a word for something that was a sin in and of itself, as opposed to a "legal" sin -- something that was declared a sin to differentiate the Hebrew people from the surrounding hedonistic cultures.  The book of Leviticus, where the first of the two mentions of homosexuality in the Old Testament is found, uses it in reference to child sacrifice.  But it is never used in reference to homosexuality.\n\nThe New Testament was written in Koine (spelling?) Greek.  This language had six different words referring to homosexual behavior (they did not understand it as an orientation, as we do).  Not one of those six words is ever used in the New Testament.  There are two words that are often (mis)translated as referring to homosexuality.  However, literally translated, the first means "one of loose morals" and the second "a compulsive seducer of boys" -- that is, a pedophile.\n\nOh, and as for Sodom and Gemorrah?  Read a bit more carefully, and you'll find that they were destroyed for their inhospitality (the very sin most Christians choose to perpetrate against Gays/Bi's/etc.), not homosexuality.

If gravity has anything to do with it, what have experiments with the absence of gravity in space shown?

Plant growth responses are called tropisms.\nRoots are positively geotropic - grow in the direction of a gravitational pull.\nRoots are positively hydrotropic - grow towards water.\nSo both of these tropisms stimulate roots to grow down into soil.\nIn the absence of any strong stimuli roots will grow straight in whatever direction growth began.\nHave a look here:


I’m from San Diego and I recently moved with my fiancé to his hometown with a population of approx. 2,100. This town holds memories of his first (who happens to be his most recent ex-girlfriend) "love" and everything else in between. In order to get from our house to literally anywhere, we have to drive past her house. As strong as I am about everything else, I can’t seem to stomach this. I’ve managed to find a job, go to school, and pick up multiple hobbies but it's not enough to occupy my mind. This has already been brought to his attention and we've discussed the situation many times, but I just need outside input.

I salute you, lady.. you're tough enough to face your fears and i can see you're still standing tall coz you know where you stand with your man.. just keep trusting him, he has not done anything for you to stop doing so.. memories are memories, so leave them as that and face your future with this man you love enough to be with.

Why do are we even entertaining these illegal immigrants in the first place?  \n\nStop and reread their title "ILLEGAL"\n\nWe owe them nothing but punishment for breaking our laws. \n\nThe main thing that makes me upset is:\n\nIn Mexico, if a guatamalen crosses the boarder illegaly he is killed without question.\n\nWait, and we are supposed to feel sorry for and be civil to the illegal immigrants from the same country that does this to their neighboring country's illegals?\n\nyour thoughts?

I have just received a job offer and want to negoritate the days off offered.  The time allotted for sick and vacation days seems unrealistic and archaic.  The board of directors recently changed the policy to offer less to new employees under 5 years with only 6 days. this seems outdated to me.

Sorry, can't answer for churches specifically, but I can for corporate America as a whole... Much of this depends upon the company, the nature of the work, and what they feel they can get away with.\n\nFor many non-union jobs, it's common for a new employee to get 2 weeks of vacation with more offered after years 2-5. 4 weeks off is probably the most you could expect (unless you're working in Europe) but this would be unlikely for someone new to the organization. In addition to vacation, a typical company may offer you 3-5 sick days. From the company's perspective, they'd like to prevent employees from abusing those days and treating them as additional vacation days. However, if you don't abuse them (and the church has no reason to think that you are) it's not uncommon for people to exceed the allotted sick days under special circumstances. Your employer would probably rather you not infect the entire staff...

I turn polar bears white \n\nand I will make you cry. \n\nI make guys have to pee \n\nand girls comb their hair. \n\nI make celebrities look stupid \n\nand normal people look like celebrities. \n\nI turn pancakes brown \n\nand make your champagne bubble. \n\nIf you squeeze me, I'll pop. \n\nIf you look at me, you'll pop. \n\nCan you guess the riddle? \n\n97% of Harvard graduates can not figure this riddle out, but 84% of kindergarten \nstudents were able to figure this out in 6 minutes or less.

First of all, the last part of the riddle is missing. "Can you answer this riddle?"\n\nThe answer is simply "no".\nThat's why kindergarteners can answer it...\nLook here: http://teensetc.com/0F/0D/BI/index.shtml\n\nAlthough the riddle originally was based on a poem about time, there were errors in it that make it impossible to be answered with "time".\n\nThe last part of the riddle, "If you squeeze me, I'll pop.\nIf you look at me, you'll pop." is actually from an old riddle which had the answer "bubble". (if you squeeze it it will pop, if you look at it you see your reflection and you pop.)\n\nAnd the answer "pressure" came from someone who knew nothing at all about why it is cold at the north pole or why polar bears appear white, and just made a wild guess.\nDo a little research, and you'll see pressure has absolutely nothing to do with it...

I see many post and answers -talking with kind hearts-but not knowing all the issues.  And in the process hurting many others. Are we not teaching(or informing) them right?

You are right. But, reading the questions and answer must give you a hint that most are young or very uneducated.\nA lot of answers are opinions or what they would like it to be. If it sounds good and they like it, it has got to be fact.\nWhen you have 24/7 media spin I don't think it matters what is being taught. The problem what I see is most people do not have the ability to "think" or think out of the box.

Honesty is slowly becomming less and less a part of our world?

Many times I feel that way, but there are still many people out there with high integrity that believe that honestly is the best policy, they're just hard to find.  I find it frustrating and disappointing when there are so many people out there who have gotten to the point where they lie just for the sake of lying, the only person they are truly hurting are themselves, and hopefully they will someday realize this when they are unhappy and alone...


My husband poured sack-creet into my Republican neighbors sewer clean out. It took a backhoe to dig up the line and replace it. I'm not going to tell on him though, because the neighbor poisoned our dog two months earlier.


it seem strange , last week my switch link broken then i replace it with an new switch , it was working for few hours \nafter one hour same thing happen when switch off it for 10 mts then turn on it star work fine again it happening, can anybody help me to solve it out.

First, check to see if the electrical socket you are using is good. Try plugging in some other equipment to see if the same problem occurs or get an electrician to check it for you. If the socket is fine, then the problem is either with the power adapter of the switch or the electrical circuit of the switch. If the equipment is within warranty period don't bother yourself. Report it to your supplier and get them to check it for you.\n(Please provide updates for speedy resolution of your problem)

I want to imrpove my spanish over the summer.

Concordia language Villages have total immersion summer camps for children and teens.  During the school year they do weekend immersions for adults and school groups.  There are language schools in Latin America where you can study at the language school and live with a host family. (Cuernavaca has one I believe.) Your local university probably has an overseas study department, and they may have information on several that you can go to without becoming a student at that university.


If you're old enough to fight and die for your country, you should be old enough to drink! What do you think?

You might be interested in a UK perspective: in the UK, you may legally drink alcohol from the age of 5 - i.e. you may be given alcohol to drink by your parents etc. in your own home etc.\n\nYou may not drink alcohol in a pub or restuarant until you're 18 (or 16 if it's with a meal).\n\nYou may not buy alcohol until you're 18.\n\nIt's interesting that the US has such (from my point of view) restrictive laws on the subject - particularly because you might think that all 18-21 year olds, when given the chance to vote, would try to change the law. I suppose it is the apathy of young voters (which is an issue in the UK too) which means that 18-21 year olds punch below their weight when it comes to politics.\n\nI personally don't buy the 'your brain isn't developed until you're 21' argument, and I can definitely sympathise with the 'if you can die for your country, you should be able to drink'. Although you could presumably extend the argument to practically anything that might cause harm to you but that doesn't harm anyone else.


In the teachings of esoteric schools, we learn that some high Initiates are still with us in incarnation. Most are unknown from the public or are out of reach on the physical plane; but can anyone share an encounter with one of these High Beings?

You may want to read Edgar Cayce, The Sleeping Prophet.\n\nHe was a devout Sunday school teacher and psychic that came to understand reincarnation in the Christian sense and used angels and other spirit beings to understand and to offer methods to heal others.\n\nAccording to him, most of us should be able tap into these consciousness of these higher beings as he did and aid our spiritual growth.\n\nI, myself have a spirit guide as do most people ... I just try to listen.


how do you know who is right???if you conserve sperm then are you ageing fast??and what does conserving sperm give to a man??and isn't the penis just like any other muscle??the harder you exercise it the stronger it gets???~S~

It is all right to listen to everyone but bottom line, think for yourself.  You know our bodies are good.  You also know that exercise strengthens us, so using a tool more often is just going to make it function better, period.  This has no connection whatsoever to aging or anything else.  By the way, the same junk ideas foisted off on us guys is that somehow we might be able to make it bigger.  There is no way.  Can you make your finger bigger, or your nose?  So also, common sense wins out.  Again, think for yourself.

What a greta question.  The answer of course is YES but the lemmings on the left are either too biased to admit it or too ignorant to understand how it occurs.  \n\nWhen you suspect everything that the government does is a plot, void of facts supporting your position, but merely to support your own agenda, that in itself divides the country.  A country divided (or a house, as the saying goes) can't be focused on a single objective.\n\nPeople only seem to understand things that they can directly relate to.  If a husband and wife have such completely different views, beliefs, objectives on virtually every issue which they deal with, exactly how long is that relationship going to last in great times, much less times of trouble - not very long.  \n\nThe occassional disagreement, one that is based on differing, heart felt beliefs by each is actually healthy.  However, when it is based on lies, manipulations, and merely has an objective of one getting their own way, that is destructive and that is where we find ourselves at again today.\n\nA perfect example is the PC environment which comtributed heavily to 9/11.  At some point in time, common sense has to come into play.  Exactly why are little, old, white ladies subjected to searches at the airport when every single mid twenties, middle eastern male is not searched?  Because we are moving back into the PC enviornment.  Civil liberties do you no good from the grave.\n\nThis past Friday in Tampa, we had two Saadi males attending a local university who were in their mid twenties board a school bus to go to a local high school.  At the school they were arrested for tresspassing.  Now there is a brewing outrage among liberals protesting their civil rights were violated.\n\nTheir defense, which changed several times over the last few days, finally settled on the fact they could not read english and thought they were boarding a mass transit bus.  One of their earlier defenses was they were merely taking the bus to the school to check out adult education classes offered at the high school.  \n\nAn idiot can see about a million ways neither of these stories are clearly plausible - but that does not matter to the PC left.\n\nHow did they ever get half way around the world, enroll and attend classes in a State University without understanding English to the point of being able to read the word \n"school".  \n\nWhile attending classes they never noticed the differences between those bright orange buses with the only kids on board compared to multi colored buses with a variety of people, virtually all adults, on board?\n\nWhy are they interested in adult ed classes if they are already enrolled at a 4 year University.  Are we suppose to believe they are going after their GED, AFTER they get their BA?  Right.\n\nBTW - the college they attend is the University of South Florida.  It has been described as a hot bed of terrorist activities and was where Sami Al Arian was a pofessor until he was arrested by the FBI for raising and funneling money for terroist causes.  Besides teaching science technology, he also felt compelled to publicly share his vitriol regarding how Isreal should be wiped off the map at virtually every opportunity he was given.\n\nNo amount of information is apparently worthy of swaying  liberals to open their minds which they are so proud to boast about having.\n\nHey, now that I recall, isn't that EACTLY how we lost 6 million Jews.  I suppose since their dead bodies weren't showing up on the door step of congressional liberals with tattoos across their forehead reading "I was killed by a Nazi in a German concentration camp with  gas" it wasn't really happening was it liberals?  Nice job.\n\nKeep up the mindless rhetoric and let's see if we can break the record you set for the number of deaths after we left Vietnam.  In that one, you "peace niks" only cost 2.2 million defensless, innocent men, woman, and children their lives.  An


I will answer you after you put this in the form of a question.\n\nIt is good to believe in something. I see you believe in what you call the big bang theory. You might elaborate a bit on that for the crowd. Then we can talk a bit. \n\nPersonally, there is only one reason to believe in God and that is not a reasonable one. It is strictly experiential. If you can find someone who has direct experience with The Ineffable and can say, "Do this and you too can experience God" then you might be persuaded. \n\nMe, I have had two direct experiences. I cannot tell you how to get there. I am trying to get back again without dying. Best of luck with whatever you choose to make yourself happy.


You can't mop it because it just freezes and becomes slick. There must be a chemical I can use to clean it, I just don't know what it is!

This is going to sound ridiculous, but I have seen methanol (wood alcohol) used to wash the windows of light aircraft here in Alaska in winter. Fairbanks is easily as cold as your freezer. Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) might work as well if the water content were low enough.\n\nVentilation would be a BIG concern though. Don't know how to accomplish ventilating the freezer without defrosting it.\n\nHope this helps\n\nOuzinki


If I use a magnet as a weight and lay it in my CDs or DVDs will they be ruined?

Unlike Audio and Video Tapes, which are magnetic recordings, CDs and DVDs are optical recordings - and will not be affected by a magnet. \nBut, if the magnet has a rough surface which is in contact with the recorded side of the CD or DVD, then it can cause abrasions - which would affect their quality - but not 'ruin' them completely !

Whats the fastest way to get rid of a coldsore?

the terric (spelled wrong I think) acid in teabags work well. It dulls the pain and speeds healing and it's cheap. If you don't drink tea just put a bag in hot water untill it starts to change color then cool the bag and place it on the cold sore for about 3 minutes. Do this about 3 times a day and it will help. This works for cold sores in and out of the mouth I've also heard of Abreeva for cold sores but it's expensive.

POINTS = [Calories/50] – [grams of fiber*/5] + [grams of fat/12] *note that the grams of fiber are capped at 4 grams per serving.\n\n\nActivity Points\nIn addition to eating your Target points each day, you may choose to earn and optionally eat Activity points. Activity points earned must be used on the same day they are earned, if they are used at all. Activity points are fully described on, and can be calculated with, your POINTSbooster. If you don’t have it handy, you can use a calculator and the following formulas.\nActivity points for light intensity = [your weight] x [minutes] x 0.00023\nActivity points for moderate intensity = [your weight] x [minutes] x 0.00033\nActivity points for high intensity = [your weight] x [minutes] x 0.00081\nLight intensity is described as being able to talk and sing, with regular breathing and no sweating. Examples of light intensity activities are leisurely walking or biking. Moderate intensity is described as being able to talk but not sing, with deep breathing and sweating after 10 minutes. Examples of moderate intensity activities are brisk walking or brisk biking. High intensity is described as being able to only talk briefly, with rapid deep breathing and sweating after 3-5 minutes. Examples of high intensity activities are running or competitive cycling. \n\n\n\nFlexPoints\nIn addition to eating all of your Target Points each day and optionally eating some or all of your Activity Points each day, you’ll begin each week with 35 FlexPoints. Use them any way you please. Don’t use them at all, use some, divide them evenly over the week, or spend them all on a weekend splurge. Once the week is up, they’re gone. Keep track of them in your QuikTrak System. \n\nSource(s):\nDotti's Weight Loss Zone website \n\nquestions, email at wiserangel@hotmail.com


ipods have sound recording and hold lectures\nPDAs are planners and can hold notes\nlaptops help with everthing\n\ncan u please prove me right or wrong. Its for a school paper

iPods: Help, but for some people they may not be able to concontrate and listen to music(lectures) while doing schoolwork.\n\nPDA: I find them useless and I prefer to write things down in an agenda.. but they don't usually have enough features to completly distract you from your schoolwork.\n\nLaptops: I find extremly distracting if they have internet connection. The internet sucks you in with an unendless amout of things to do. But If you can stay away from the internet other then using it for research, laptops are very useful tools.\n\nIt all depends on the person.


Obviously, the Bachelor's Degree and the Master's Degree must already be completed, but what does it take to get your Ph.D. once you begin the doctorial program?

Generally, it will take two years of coursework, a semester or so of studying and sitting for comprehensive exams (also called qualifying exams), a semester or so to study for and pass language competency exams (generally in French and German), and finally, anywhere between 1 and 3 years of researching, writing, and defending a dissertation.


I need some help finding the answer and understanding this question:\nHow long is an open organ pipe with a fundamental frequency of 493.88Hz?

For a column of vibrating air with one closed end and one open end the equation is:\n\nlambda = 4L\n\nWhere L is the length of the tube and lambda is the wavelength of the standing sound wave.  Given the fact you know the frequency, and the speeed of sound, I think you can figure out the rest.

i have always had heavy blood flow for 5-7days, length of cycle>35 days and excessive menstrual cramps. However for the past 2 months, my period starts on time, no cramps, but i have a much reduced blood flow for 2-3 days, and the blood looks dark brown to black in color, not bright red any more. I took the pregnancy test, and i am not pregnant. Is it ?possible that i am anemic, or i have other pressing gynecological problems that i should worry about? I just turned 30.

No, in general menstrual blood color can vary from bright red to an almost black color. This is normal. You will usually find that your periods will start a lighter color (more reddish) and then turn brown or black for the remainder of your periods. However, if your whole period is a brown or black color I would go to a doctor just to check it out.


I was in colorguard when I was in high school which wasn't that long ago. I did rifle and could do all the "moves". Every school has different names for it though.\n\nAnd colorguard is for people who don't want to be a cheerleader. Believe it or not, some people would rather do colorguard. At least I did. Plus I am doing it in college.


Lets say that today you are given the opportunity to take a step back to your past a correct one mistake you should have never made ,which one would you consider ?

Losing my ex-girlfriend so many years ago. Damn! I really wish I hadn't done that. I really really wish I had never made that call.


I do see that the holier than thou attitude called pride is actually Ego. beleiving one is superior to another because they beleive they are chosen christians prove otherwise.  what do you think about the sin of Ego (also called Pride)? do you think christians are deluded into believing they are going to heaven when they most certainly are not?

you're right. not all will go to heaven.\ni mean.. why did the bible say the meek will inherit the earth then?\nthere are two possible hopes then, either heaven reigning with Christ and god, or the eternal life in perfection on earth, as god originally intended.\nthat arrogant (holier than thou) attitude was present with some of the pharisee that Jesus spoke with


You cant speak any more without someone thinking your judging or bragging.They always think your talking specifically to or bout them.The questions I ask are because of my own wonders just like everyone elses.It has nothing to do with Judging.

People didn't respond well to JESUS either..they tried every form of double speak in attempt to entrap HIM, they accused HIM of everything that they could think of, and there were many that rejected HIM.  We just have to ask the best way we know how, ignore those who are hateful to us, and look to those who are sincere in what they are answering.  Pray for the hateful.\n\nGOD BLESS YOU!


i'm 21 but my breasts are very small that i can't wear  cloths that i like.plz tell me is there any pill or drug for it ?and if there is,how long should i take it?

recent echo cardiagram shows regurgitation

It is indeed the tricuspid valve. It is one of the Atrioventricular valves named so because of the location between the Atria of the heart and the ventricles. The tricuspid valve is the valve between the right atria and the right ventricle. Its job is to prevent blood flow from the right ventricle back into the right atrium, when the right ventricle is contracting. In your case there is some blood making its way backwards into the right atrium, this is not normal. It means that your valve has some degree of incompetence, Likely you have a murmur. If it is not large your doctor may just decide to leave it alone, if it gets worse or it is large now then the only fix is to have a valve replacement. The good news is that the current valve technology is excellent.
