What part of "I have a boyfriend" don't they get?  They basically beg to get dissed!  Do they expect us to just think again and say "ok, here's my number" or what?  I'm really curious.

Because by current societal conventions, boyfriends are temporary until a marriage contract has been finalized.  Therefore, a boyfriend doesn't mean "no."  Your saying "no" should mean "no."  Your saying "I have a boyfriend" is the equivalent of saying, "I have a boyfriend... for now."


there is a guy i worked with and he and i started talking and i went to his house and we made out a couple times and shit... well i let my friend talk to him and things were said and he got pissed off and dated her i seen them together and everything...he has even told them that me and him done it and we haven't they ended up breaking up 6 days into it and she was hurt... well he broke up with her he says he wants to try to work things out with us but we were not an item.... now he calls me and wants me to come over all the time... i feel like he is real obsessed with me and he won't just leave me alone he wants us to be together help i have told him i just want to be friends and nothing else and he acts like he can't accept that.... he even has got to the point he gets mad i won't answer the other line when he is beeping in while i am on the phone with my best friend in jail help?????? what do i do??????????

This guy is one messed up creep.  He lied about you too.  That is unforgivable.  Even if you had done it, him telling people is unforgivable.  You need to tell him in no uncertain terms to leave you alone or you will get a restraining order and follow through.  Start documenting the harrassment, you will need it to get the restraining order.  If you have to, you can add call block to your phone and block his number and everytime he calls from a new number hang up and immediately block that too and don't forget to document it for the courts.  This guy is sick.


I have norton antivirus completly up to date but it doesn't delete it, it only denies axcess to it and my computer is seriously slow.

Also some people think he willask personal quetions!

probably because it's simply just a computer program that will at times just say anything


Could understand something like this?\n\nIf a particular truth does not exist inside a person, such a person will not be able to write any sentence which reflects that truth. Therefore, in the final analysis truth exists in people in the first instance, and any truths in books are secondary and derivative to this living source. Applies to angels and other higher beings also.

Less than 10%. I am a law student and find that a few of my peers STILL can not write a complete sentence.


What are hair analysis for and are they more accurate than blood work?  Where can I get one done?

Hair analysis establishes the identity,distinguishes between straight and curly hair,speaks about the atmosphere (and pollutants)in which the individual lives,makes out the gender,reveals the nutritional status and lastly hair grows for upto three days after death.


a danger place\nradio signals will not received\nships , aircrafts disappears there

common belief that a number of ships and airplanes have disappeared under highly unusual circumstances in this region, the United States Coast Guard and others disagree with that assessment, citing statistics demonstrating that the number of incidents involving lost ships and aircraft is no larger than that of any other heavily traveled region of the world. Many of the alleged mysteries have proven not so mysterious or unusual upon close examination, with inaccuracies and misinformation about the cases often circulating and recirculating over the decades.\n\nThe triangle is an arbitrary shape, crudely marking out a corridor of the Atlantic, stretching northward from the West Indies, along the North American seaboard, as far as the Carolinas. In the Age of Sail, ships returning to Europe from parts south would sail north to the Carolinas, then turn east for Europe, taking advantage of the prevailing wind direction across the North Atlantic. Even with the development of steam and internal-combustion engines, a great deal more shipping traffic was (and still is) found nearer the US coastline than towards the empty centre of the Atlantic. The Triangle also loosely conforms with the course of the Gulf Stream as it leaves the West Indies, and has always been an area of volatile weather. The combination of distinctly heavy maritime traffic and tempestuous weather meant that a certain, also distinctly large, number of vessels would founder in storms. Given the historical limitations of communications technology, most of those ships that sank without survivors would disappear without a trace. The advent of wireless communications, radar, and satellite navigation meant that the unexplained disappearances largely ceased at some point in the 20th Century. The occasional vessel still sinks, but rarely without a trace. It should be noted that both the concept and the name of the Bermuda Triangle date only to the 1960s, and were the products of an American journalist.


I need a new screen name for my friend...i'm not gonna tell u wat it is but it is REALLY tacky! She wants something involving beauty, the beach, or other girly topics but her parents have already shot down anything with "babe" "goddess" or "hot"


My boyfriend and i have been together for 5 months, my longest relationship to date, and i have had a past of insecure boyfriends that have blurted out "i love you" like it was nothing. Now that i am with my boyfriend now, he has voiced his concern early on for people exactly like my exes.  He has cared for me the most, by far, than the other exes, even though we don't say "i love you."\n\nShould I wait for him to say it first?

try talking to him again, on how he feels about love. ask him when he think its a good time for a couple to say those words. \n\ni know how your feeling, I've been their. with the boyfriend i am with now. i wasn't for sure when to tell him i loved him too. we live in different countries so he wasn't sure if we would even work. \n\nits been a year now and where stronger then ever, even going to move in together. the moment i told him i loved it was about last fall or winter. he eventually saw how great and wonderful of a person i was and with him. he couldn't help but say those words back to me. \n\nyou pretty much just have to guess when to say it. you can't ignore your feelings, no matter if they get hurt or not. if you love him, tell him and then tell him why you love him. show him how you make him feel, by your words. \n\nif he can't appreciated that, then he's a loser lol. you've been together long enough to start talking about love. if you were to tell me you just been together for a week or two, then i would say no and wait more.


I am at a crossroads. I have a boyfriend who I like a lot, but he is a long way away.( over 15 gours) We only see each other every month. Then there is this other guy who recently started working at the same place that I do. He is also in a relationship. I like him a lot and we have been hanging out for the last couple of weeeks just as friends. I like him a lot and I know that he feels the same, but neither of us knows how to end the other relationship. I dont want to jump from one relationship to another, but I really like this guy. What should I do, should I break up with my BF and jsut see where this goes.

Having an affair with someone who works at your office is one of the fastest ways to utterly, completely destroy your life.


If I prepare a water solution of Baking Soda and a dilute solution of Vinegar, will both solutions react slower and over a longer period of time than if I just put baking soda directly into vinegar ?\n\nHow may I calculate the reaction rate ?\n\nThis is basically a concentrations VS reaction rate problem.

yes, reaction rates are based on several things, concentration and temperature are the most important, because of the water added to the reaction, it will be less "likely" that a vinegar molecule will collide with a baking soda molecule, because of this the reaction will go slower. the way to calculate this is K = [Products]/[reactants].  Where [] is the concentration of each solute present (in moles per liter), and K is the constant value for this perticular reaction, which can be found in a chemistry text book.


What effect will this have on our weather, greenhouse effect etc? It's a huge leap, but I noticed that creamer in my coffee always used to spin in an anti-clockwise direction. Now it frequently spins clockwise. (I am closing in on 70 years old and have observed this, and many other inconsistencies over the years). Thank you for your time.

Yes, it's moving and every now and then (like, millions of years) it reverses direction. The North Pole goes South and viceversa.\nBut I'm sure that has nothing to do with your coffee creamer!!!


Well to me.. Not really.. Because money isnt everthing the world has to offer.. u can have all the money in the world n still not be happy..

Money can't buy you happiness or love....  Only one's true beauty within can give you those things.....\nMoney just takes care of the material things which can always be replaced.  But someone's love never can't....\n\nDon't let anyone else tell you otherwise.


most of my friends are dead skinny.  Im not fat... just not as tiny as they are.  I get soooooooooo annoyed when they say "look im soo fat"  and they get mad when i walk off cause i know they just want a response.  do they really think they are that fat?? or are they just doing that cause they want something out of me?

It sounds like they want a response from you or maybe they want to make you feel bad about your weight. \nYou should try to talk to them about this and let them know how you feel. If they don't try to change, I'd work on finding some new friends. Friends should never upset you and hurt your feelings on purpose!


I mean by giving D.C., Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa & US Virgin Islands representation in Congress: at least 1 Representative & 1 Senator. I say that if we increase the size of our House from 435 to 480 and the Senate from 100 to 105, Congress could really represent people.

No, I would not because of the electoral college system.  The electoral college system already skews democratic votes into a system that favors smaller states (the "Great" compromise).  As such, DC, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, and the Virgin Islands would then complicate an already skews the system for electing national representatives.  Thus, you would have to come up with a way the electoral college handles US territories with representatives. \n\nMoreover, the constitutional makes clear that senators can be no fewer than 2 and must come from a state.  Thus, the only way to limit them (assuming that they become a state) to 1 senator is to amend the constitution.\n\nHowever, keep up the big thinking as it is the only way improvement happens.  As Bobby Kennedy used to say, "Some people see things as they are and say 'why'.  I dream things that never were and ask 'why not'."

I'm not suicidal, so please don't do my head in with "don't kill yourself" answers.\n\nI'm just bored and burned out with life and don't know what to do.  I've tried taking up new hobbies, meeting new people, moving, changing jobs, etc.\n\nIt's all the same!  I struggle just to get up in the morning because I know what's going to happen and I've seen it all before.  What to do?

I've felt that way before and I doubt if the answer is the same for everyone.  The first thing I do is take time to be thankful for all that I have.  For all those things that seem so mundane to me, but realize that there are millions of people out there that would kill to have a tenth of the life I have.  Then I take time to remember, that life is a long road and there are always going to be stretches that are as boring as driving across western Kansas but you have to push yourself through that to make it to those things in life that make it all worth while like driving into the mountains in Colorado.


Refrigerant-134a enters the coils of the evaporator of a refrigeration system as a saturated liquid-vapor mixture at a pressure of 200 kPa. The refrigerant absorbs 120 kJ of heat from the cooled space, which is maintained at -5°C, and leaves as saturated vapor at the same pressure. Determine (a) the entropy change of the refrigerant, (b) the entropy change of the cooled space, and (c) the total entropy change for this process.  Please help explain to me how to do this!!! I don't know where to start... any help would be great!

Take table for R134a refrigerant:\n\na) delta s = entropy change\n--inlet for evaporator assuming 50%moisture= interpolate to get S \n@200kpa for R134a\n0       Sg   \n0.5     S\n1       Sf\nget Sg and Sf from table at 200kpa for R134a. \n \n--out for evaporator = Sg at 200Kpa (get from table) since it is sat vap.\n\nthe difference of both Sfg and Sg is the answer.\n\nb)  delta S = Q / T  where Q = 120 KJ and T = -5+273 = 268K\n\nc) add both a) and b) is the total entropy


I'm appalled by what I've seen on here. I know how pedantic I sound and am, but still, isn't anyone else shocked by it?

Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light, \nWhat so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? \nWhose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, \nO'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? \nAnd the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, \nGave proof through the night that our flag was still there. \nO say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave \nO'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? \n\nOn the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep, \nWhere the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, \nWhat is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, \nAs it fitfully blows, now conceals, now discloses? \nNow it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, \nIn full glory reflected now shines on the stream: \n'Tis the star-spangled banner! O long may it wave \nO'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

It's been diagnosed as such and feels swollen, painful and constantly streaming. Thanks in advance for any advice.

ouch that isnt good.  Acupuncture could clear that out.  There are needles, (not in the duct) that can dislodge the obstruction.  Otherwise, you a heat compress on the eye 4 times a day.  You can use a de-shelled hardboiled egg or a soaked chamomille tea bag.


So many libbies think that Muslim countries that support terrorists and would love to nuke our cities --- killing American kids, moms, and dads --- ought to be either allowed to develop or given nuclear weapons. \n\nIs it any wonder that Libs are having a hard  time winning seats in the House and Senate?

I used to be able to display "artist", "album", and "track"...for my music files in Windows Explorer.  Somehow they are gone.  I right clicked the column bar but it showed only "size", "type", "date modified"...  The audio fields are not there any more.  How can I get them back?

Just right click on your music file, select Properties-> Go to Summary Tab-> Then enter whatever information you want to see-> Like Album, Artist, etc.\n\nNext time, they will be seen just below the music file name.


I would like a program that will allow me to put a CD/DVD into the drive, display a list of folders on the cd/dvd and then be able to edit this list if required and then to cut/copy the list onto an Excel spreadsheet. Hopefully to build up a library of all folders on my cd's/dvd's.

There has been a lot of shareware over the years that does this kind of thing.  Common shareware sites are download.com and tucows.com.  Here is a link to one popular program for recording and printing a directory structure.


My understanding is that aithiesm, as a tenet, is the belief that God does not exist.  It is one thing to say that you have not heard convincing arguments that God does exist.  But I am curious to know how one proves that there is no God, to the point of basing one's life on it.

Can you prove that Santa doesn't exist? If you went to the North Pole to look for him, searched everywhere, yet couldn't find him,  couldn't it just be said that you weren't looking in the right place? Or that you weren't looking hard enough? Or that you didn't have an open mind about things? Or that you clearly don't have faith in Santa, and so therefore, he hasn't revealed himself to you? Or that he doesn't want you to see him right now because it's not his will? Can you really prove that Santa doesn't exist if someone really really insist on believing in Santa in the face of logic and knowledge? Nope. They will just make up a million excuses as to why you can't see or find Santa coming down to the fact that you, "Don't believe". Silly I think.


my BF is always busy... he only finds time to for me mostly by the phone, by borrowing off some time or sneaking in and out of work... I know its... sweet, BUT ITS WRONG! I feel so bad spending some time with him because its just borrowed time... we haven't really spend time together... the last time we went on a date... he suddenly left me because of some emergency at work! I don't get it... I found out that he often plays/walks his dog or visit his sister (yeah HIS SISTER!) why does he has so much time for them and not for me?! when he was just dating me he seems to have all the time in the world... but now that Im his GF he rarely spends some time with me! sometimes I wait until morning just to talk to him... I feel neglected... and I think I should dump him... he should've think of the responsibilities that came with having a GF before he asked me to be his


Energy like solar power, or water power, or other things. The Hot Topic i am refering to is the Hot Topic store in the malls and stuff that sell punk nnd goth and other types of clothing.

Dark energy! Mwahahaha! Honestly, They probably use the same kind of energy as the stores around them (I assume this Hot Topic is in a mall).

im a new user pls help me, and how to download a document to a disket

the song u hear from your cd is not in digital format so if u put the cd in your pc cdrom, what u see is a shortcut to the song. U need to "rip" the song out - actually converting it to digital format - usually .wav first then convert it to MP3 which is smaller by about 10 times in size so that it can fit into player such as Mp3 etc. Otherwise a song in your cd is about 40Mb that's why your cd audio only have about 20-30 songs at most.\nTo do all these conversion u need all the softwares mentioned by the others...\nbut i think it is easier if u go download the MP3 direct. There are tons of MP3 in the internet and u can find all the songs u want - it is a little illegal but everybody is downloading so it is up to u .....

I love my fiance so much and I know he has never cheated on me I am with him all the time plus I work with him. When I'm not with him I let him use my cell and I got my bill and it showed alot of calls in and out from his ex he swears he has not talked to her, he thinks his friends used my phone. I wanna know if I should keep trusting him.

Why would he ever let his friends use your cell phone?  I think he is lying.  Call his ex and find out what is going on from her.


I must be one of the dumbest guys alive when it comes to seeing if a girl is interested. I am a very popular guy on campus.  I was voted as the most popular fraternity guy in my house and in the top three around campus and i also am a genuine guy.  I go out of my way to help out the sororities and promote people.  I also go out of my way to be nice at parties and the bar to girls by buying them drinks just for the heck of it.  But i still cant read if any of them are interested or just like the nice guy being there.

Does she pay attention to you and stand close to you. Ask her out - thats the fastest way. If you mean generally, learn to be aware of how women respond to your presence.


In the Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train" video (the one from the Live&Loud concert, not the origianl one with Randy Rhodes), Zakk Wylde (I think it's Zakk, because AFAIK he was the only guitarist in that concert) uses a strange looking guitar with Les Paul style body but it's larger, with different buttons layout and a weird but cool looking headstock (that looks like two sharp horns).\n\nI don't know of any brand that uses this shape for its headstocks and I was hoping someone here can tell me.\n\nThanks in advance.

i have adebate next week and i need a good topic.Please help me.

Debating ideas \n \n\nThe Five-minute Debate Planner (Mk I)\n\nTopic \n\nIssue and justification \n\n\n\nDefinitions and justifications \n\n\n\n\nCase line \n\n\n\n\nMaterial (arguments) \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRebuttal arguments \n\n\nAllocation \n\n\nAnticipated opposition arguments: \n\n\n\n \n\n\nThe "Five-minute Debate Planner" appears above — it is not unique. Use this sheet on some practice topics, and changed the plan to suit yourself.\n\nUse your version of the planning sheet\n\n\nto plan how you will present each debate, and \nto "capture" the other side's plan during the debate so you can analyse it. \nThe terms used in the sheet:\n\nThe topic is obvious. Just write it down as it is stated, and note what side you are on by writing "Aff" or "Neg" at the end of the line.\n\nThe issue is what the topic is really about. This question is very important if the topic is about a metaphor, like "People who live in glass houses should not throw stones". In this example, the issue is not about throwing real stones, or living in a glass house. You must always take time out to identify the issue.\n\nIn the same section, write down your justification for interpreting the issue this way. This shows briefly why you have chosen what you have chosen as the issue.\n\nNext, you come to your definitions. Mostly, these will come from your interpretation of the issue, and must refer to the issue. Sometimes, the definitions will come from what the "person in the street" would believe, or from the context of the topic. (If the topic is "That we should kill all the lawyers", this does not necessarily mean standing all the solicitors against a wall and shooting them, even if this strikes you as a tempting proposition. It helps to know that this was meant literally when Shakespeare wrote the lines for "Dick the Butcher".) Note down the context, if you know it.\n\nNext comes your case line. You need a quick statement of how the debate will go from your side.\n\nThen comes a brief points-form listing of your material, the arguments that your team will put forward.\n\nAs a separate section, note down rebuttal arguments. These are things that you need to remember and plan for, but which you plan to bring out in rebutting the other side's arguments.\n\nNext comes your allocation for the first two speakers. This divides up the caseline into a neat and logical division that gives each speaker a reasonable amount of material to work with.\n\nFinally, note down what you expect the other side to argue. Watch out: there may be more than one way of arguing either side of a case!!\n\nSample topics\n\nThese topics are roughly graded in terms of difficulty. In training, you will sometimes be required to take on a task which is easier or harder than your ability and age. Note that even the hardest topic can be debated at a simple level, and a very simple topic can be debated brilliantly!\n\nEasy\n\nThat homework should be banned.\n\nThat school uniforms are good for us.\n\nThat television is too violent.\n\nThat television does more harm than good.\n\nThat terrorism can be justified.\n\nThat the earth can look after itself.\n\nThat the IOC made the wrong decision for Sydney.\n\nThat a woman's place is in the home.\n\nThat Australia is a nation of bigots.\n\nThat the car is a luxury we can do without.\n\nThat all our woes have come from science.\n\nThat people who live in glass houses should not throw stones.\n\n \n\nJunior\n\nThat the Olympics are a five-ring circus.\n\nThat spectator sports are a waste of time.\n\nThat organised team sport is legalised violence.\n\nThat we are Uncle Sam's nephews and nieces.\n\nThat the law is an ass.\n\nThat education is the key to success.\n\nThat education starts after school.\n\nThat there is strength in diversity.\n\nThat peace depends on fear.\n\nThat we should try, try, try again.\n\nThat we should be vegetarians.\n\nThat we should


do you really think islam is a bad religion and full of viloence what`s your image of islam do you think all muslim are terrorists , have you ever asked your self what do you know about islam

I have mixed feelings about Islam to be perfectly honest.  I think it has the potential to be a great religion, but its followers have some things they need to work out.  It is a fact that there is terrorism among Muslims, and this is a major problem.  It is a fact that there is a lot of hatred of Jews among Muslims, and this is very wrong.  But it does not have to be that way.  There are wonderful Muslims who are peaceful and loving.  I just wish there were more of the good ones and less of the bad ones, and I wish that the Qur'an and Hadith were easier to interpret in a peaceful manner.  The fact is, there are verses in the Qur'an and Hadith that seem to me to support violence, if one wishes to seek support for violence.  I think this is problematic.  It can be solved, because the same thing is true of some other religions but they do not interpret the violent verses of their scriptures in a violent way.  They have reinterpreted them with an eye to peace.\n\nI have studied Islam a little.  I have talked to Muslims, read the Qur'an with some commentary and Hadith (al-bukhari), and I have read a few books on Islam, by both Muslims and non-Muslims.


Or are they merely dialects of the same language (what some call Serbo-Croatian)?

I must respectfully but forcefully disagree with the first response.  Serbian and Croatian (as well as Bosnian) are very closely related Slavonic languages, but they are very different in a few respects.\n\nThe most obvious is that Croatian uses the Roman (Latin) alphabet, while Serbian uses the Cyrillic (a.k.a. Russian) alphabet.  During the time when Yugoslavia was a single nation, the official language was "Serbo-Croatian", an official middle ground between the two, which could be written in either script.  But even though speakers of Serbian and Croatian usually understand each other quite well, the two languages actually continue to evolve separately, and under the influence of other languages. Serbian has more words borrowed from Turkish and Greek, Croatian has more words coming from Latin or German languages.\n\nFor the record, the division between Serbian and Croatian is not a recent phenomenon due to the recent war, but goes back to the 11th century, when that region converted to Christianity, and the Serbs decided to follow the Eastern Orthodox Church, while the Croats followed The Roman Catholic Church...\n\nI hope this helps


When I say movement I mean a non-partisan call for problems that plague America (social security, immigration, war, energy, etc.) to be solved quickly and effectively. A movement that people of all creeds and races can get behind. A movement of communication, compassion, and conscience. Would anyone want to join?

I think anyone that appreciates the potential of this country would gladly join in.  What you want to do is what politicians of every level should already be doing.  Instead of republicans being thick headed and thinking that they can change the world into one big happy family, and democrats criticizing everything but never having an alternative option or independent thought that isn't brought on by what the latest poll says they should do, they should be trying to solve the problems together.  No more fighting, time to get to work.  I think lots of people would want in on it.  Especially if it wasn't a forum for one side or another to bash the other, rather a way for people to come together with ideas and remedies to our problems.

There and then she became "irrevocably hooked." \n\nReturning to college, Sapp completed a B.A. in English (cum laude) at the University of Missouri in 1976, and then began work on an M.A. in English with a creative writing emphasis, which she completed in 1982. During this period she joined the staff of the Missouri Review, where she worked for a number of years as an editor. She also taught creative writing at the University of Missouri. Her short stories have appeared in such magazines as the North American Review, New Straits Times, Denver Quarterly, Washington Review, Kansas Quarterly, and Epoch. Jo Sapp is currently working on a novel about the New Madrid fault.

A firm is planning to increase its inventory turnover by 1.5 turns next year.  This year's inventory is $40M with revenues of $850M.  Revenues are expected to grow by 10% next year.  The firm's cost ratio (COGS as a percent of sales) is 40%, and is not expected to change in the near future.  Calculate the inventory figure that should be included in next year's plan.  Calculate using the cost of goods sold (COGS) formulation of inventory turnover and using year-end balances only.

Accounting always gives me a headache.\n\nThis is probably wrong, but it seems like you could just calculate next year's revenue as 935M, so the COGS is 374M.\n\nThe current inventory turnover is 340M/40M = 8.5.\nThe future inventory turnover is going to be 10.\n\nHence, 10 = 374M / inventory(next year).\n\nInventory next year = 37.4M


alright, the answers are interesting but wrong. the hloy spirit is not the third person in the trinity but god himself in the form of the spirit. so in that sence, if some one speaks in tongues, then they ore the voice peice of the lord jesus christ hisself. also, tongues do not always require a interpeter. sometime their is someone in the congergation who understands the langue in which the tongues i s given. example, the first lady of the church, bishop's wife, was praying for a saint of the church and was speaking in tongues. a vistor, asian by decent, was sitting a little ways off and heard her speaking in perfect mandrin chinese. yes this was reported by over 10 people in the church, including the interpeter for the asian commmunity. so you see, there is always someone who is directly affected by the tongues, wether or not every one is or not means that just a few people were there to reciev what was said.\n\nplease post a reply and god bless

Well, I believe that speaking and interpreting tongues is an attribute of the Holy Ghost, and I don't doubt what happened at all. ;)\n\nI do, however, believe that there is so much more to the Holy Ghost than tongue speaking.\n\nYou asked a very good question, though.

I am always hearing that America needs to attack Iran because they are a threat to Israel. America is already too busy with Irag and Aghanistan why should go to Iran. Israel has their own army, tanks, bombs, jet and they say God is on their side...why can't they do it themselves?

http://www.antiwar.com/paul/?articleid=8821\n\nOne of the best summations of why the U.S. is concerned about Iran.\n\nTo correct a few skewed facts above, Iran is no more a rogue state than Israel, Iran is independent, a member of the U.N. , and has a democratically elected government. If you actually had read a history book or two, you would also know that the entire reason why the American hostages were held is because the U.S. had given asylum to the dictatorial monarch that they had imposed on Iran in 1953, the shah Pahlavi, and refused to send him back to be put on trial for numerous crimes against his own citizens. As soon as he died, they decided to release the hostages, when they could have just as easily held them for other demands such as weapons, money, or supplies. But they didn't. They wanted justice. Iran is nowhere near being able to even produce enough enriched uranium to create a bomb, let alone a reactor. The president of Iran is no more a fanatical They are not in violation of the non-proliferation treaty or IAEA regulations. Do a little research rather than flipping on the news and you might realize this. Now if you are going to argue that we need to prevent nuclear proliferation, I'm all for it, however, Iran is not the place to start. Right now Pakistan, India, North Korea, and Israel all have nuclear weapons yet somehow that is not as big of a deal? Iran is  the world's second largest producer of oil and gas, but of course, no, that couldn't have anything to do with it, even though our oil companies have recorded record-breaking profits over the last few years. Well what about freedom and democracy for all the poor Iranians? Bullshit. Like before, Iran's government is democratically elected and run by the people, that is not just an opinion, it is a fact you can look up in any reference source.  Claims of how Iranians live without freedom are made by people who have never been there. I have traveled all over the world and have been to Iran six times. I can honestly say that I have never felt as safe in the U.S. as I have in Iran. You can literally feel free walk around in the middle of the night in Tehran without fear of being mugged, attacked, or be a victim of any other stupid crime happens here much more often. Iran is not at fault here, we are.\n\nIn addition on the claim of Israel's undeniable right to exist, you might find this letter by Ghandi interesting:\n\n"Several letters have been received by me asking me to declare my views about the Arab-Jew question in Palestine and the persecution of the Jews in Germany. It is not without hesitation that I venture to offer my views on this very difficult question.\n\nMy sympathies are all with the Jews. I have known them intimately in South Africa. Some of them became life-long companions. Through these friends I came to learn much of their age-long persecution. They have been the untouchables of Christianity. The parallel between their treatment by Christians and the treatment of untouchables by Hindus is very close. Religious sanction has been invoked in both cases for the justification of the inhuman treatment meted out to them. Apart from the friendships, therefore, there is the more common universal reason for my sympathy for the Jews.\n\nBut my sympathy does not blind me to the requirements of justice. The cry for the national home for the Jews does not make much appeal to me. The sanction for it is sought in the Bible and the tenacity with which the Jews have hankered after return to Palestine. Why should they not, like other peoples of the earth, make that country their home where they are born and where they earn their livelihood?\n\nPalestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French. It is wrong and inhuman to impose the Jews on the Arabs. What is going on in Palestine today cannot be justified by any moral code of conduct. The mandates have no sanction but th

I asked my Aunt, she is very liberal, and I need an consevative opinoin.

Assuming that you mean politically, here's my take, and I know this has change from how the sides used to be:\n\nliberal: progressive in introducing legislation to fix issues/problems, bigger government/more involvement, federal rights, higher taxes on rich to support the needs of the poor\n\nconservative: more status quo, states rights, less government involvement ("laissez-faire") especially federal, lower taxes for people to use their money to fix their own problems\n\nI'm usually a left-leaning moderate, so I generally have likes/dislikes about both sides.  Hope that helps.

The level of answers found on the site seeems very juvenile, so it was a refreshing change to read some of your responses to other questions. I just wondered at your level of experience, that's all. Care to shed some light?

There are people of all ages on line (on this site) and some of the ones that sound young ARE NOT; however, the people that sound older usually ARE, because it is easier to sound immature than it is to fake maturity.  OK, you guessed it, I'm not Bud but you did ask that some light be shed on this, so I thought I would put in my two cents worth anyway!\nGod Bless!... I hope you find a few more "refreshing people" on this site!

I took over the position of Night Supervisor about 4 weeks ago.  I was promised a giant pay raise, and so far, I have not recieved anything.  The boss always says we have to sit down and talk about it, and, meanwhile, I am busting my butt to be babysitter for the other employees, working overtime that I am not getting paid for, and feeling used and exhausted.  I love my job, I just do not want to be supervisor.  What do I say?

Tell your boss  to either raise the pay more and pay the price everyday or you quit. Most likely he won't like to lose you. Otherwise, the only problem is finding another job.


jus if you know: What is the cosmic plan?

Well it makes sense that there would be visitors from other worlds.  The idea that Earth is the only planet in the whole universe that supports inteligent life is very arrogant, really.\n\nIt is a bit like the notion that the earth is round.  For hundreds of years, people were only aware of there immediate environments and could not embrace the idea that the earth is round.\n\nAlso, it was long assummed that the sun and planets rotated around the earth.  A famous scientists proposed that actually the planets, inluding earth, rotated around the sun.  He was punished for this, and it was many years before "Scientists" finally accepted it.\n\nToday, persons who come forward with evidence of extra terrestrial life are usually labelled insane (or locked away or killed by the powers that be).\n\nHow long will it be before "Scientists" accept this reality??


But did anyone realize that Santa Claus is a replacement of God. I mean he is jolly, he hears what your thinking, and has magical powers. I don't believe in him of course. But i was just pointing that out.

I can see how some would think that, yes. But Santa Claus is just made up and fictional, and its not like anyone worships him  or anything. He was just created to make the holiday more exciting, I think.


what is a positive change or act in the communities now days?\nI want to make a change for someone in a positive way.

"I HAVE A DREAM!"\n\nYour question is confusing because you say 'history' but apparently are looking for a cause today.\n\nIn a positive way....   Unfortunately, the problems of today, such as what's left of our rights being ignored, don't lend themselves to positive acts of change, but rather something more, uh, combative.\n\nThe main problem with the rebellion of the 60s (remember when a generation wanted to make the world a better place??) was that they rebelled, which tied them to the stress source.\n\nWhat they should have done was just walk away and stop giving power to the problem source.\n\nThe most positive way of effecting change is to laugh at the stress source.  By showing how ridiculous it is, you take away its power.\n\nI'm trying to think of historical examples where humor was used to effect positive change or protest and the only thing which comes to mind is Lady Godiva.\n\nProbably there are others, search...


I was thinking of contacting some wholesale departments of popular trends per clientle.

A study by the research firm E-BuyersGuide.com found that buyers did not buy apparel over the Web for the following reasons:\n\nUnsure of accurate sizing (27.95%)  \nReturning item could be a problem (18.17%)  \nUnsure of quality (13.92%)  \nDelivery costs (13.71%)  \nPrice (8.61%)  \nCredit card security (6.48%)  \nUnsure of item's exact color (5.84%)  \nUnable to access right information (3.29%)  \nDifficult site navigation (2.55%)  \nOther (10.20%) \n\nIf you could overcome the above common concerns of buyers, then you can be assured of making good money selling clothes on the Web.\n\nOne thing to remember is that the clothing retailers getting big bucks on the Web are those who are selling well known brands. As a small retailer, you have a lot against you.\n\nThe article "Can You Sell Apparel on the Internet?" \n http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol89/sellclothes.htm offers several suggestions on how a small clothing retailer can be more competitive online:\n\n1. Provide as much information on the clothes as much as possible (e.g. sizing, materials used).\n2. Quality of the product's photos must also be ensured.\n3. Offer clear and detailed instructions on how to return purchased items \n4. Focus on improving customer service and developing better relationships with your clients


Here's some signs of a lotto scam:\n\n*You never paid money or bought a ticket to enter.\n*Your "winning" notification is probably not personalized.\n*Your "winning" notification came by email, probably from a free email address such as yahoo.com or msn.com.\n\nIf you answer the email, after one or two email exchanges with the so-called "lottery officials" or "claims agent," perhaps accompianied by some official looking but fake documents, you'll be asked to pay fees for "taxes" or "handling" or some other reason. This is the scam - you pay the fees and never see any winnings, mainly because there are none to see.


im a virgin and i havent told my boyfrind. i just told him that i havent done it in a long time should i tell him? do you think he'll treat me diffrent.

Relationships should be based on honesty, so it's best if you tell him.\n\nIf he treats you differently, dump him on the spot. I know it will hurt (been-there-done-that. it sucked, but now, years later I am so very grateful I didn't put out) trust me, there are guys out there that will respect you all the more for not having a long rap sheet of ex lovers. If you're bf tries to change your mind, or force you, again dump him immediately and head to your friends or parents for emotional support. If he can't respect you, he doesn't deserve you. I'm not saying "wait 'till you're married" but I do suggest waiting for a man that cherishes you and respects your boundaries.

He spends all his time on E-bay. Buying, selling ,trading.

First you have to make sure it's an addiction. Can he stop it if he wanted to? Does it take over his life? Does he get the shakes if he doesn't do it?\n\nThere are addictions...and then there are hobbies. Maybe your husband just genuinely enjoys the challenge of finding things and getting them at E-Bay.\n\nHowever, if it's affecting your relationship then you should bring up the issue with him in a reasonable manner.\n\nIf that does not work withhold sex. He will get the message.


Similar as in steroids and/or pain meds,antibiotics etc?

Yes--as they are both auto-immune diseases. Your immune system is out of whack and basically turns on you.\n\nInflamation is one of the main pain sources for both conditions and steroids are used for both to reduce this.\n\nHowever, while both have common meds used in treatment the rest is done on an idividual basis upon evalution of symptoms and severity.


Right-o. Well this is a long one so bear with me! Lol!\n\nMy friend had a party, and she invited this guy that I've liked for a while now (because she likes his brother, yeah yeah yeah...). He hardly talked to me when we were there. :/\n\nThen we had a get-together at my school, and he asked my friend, "Hey, is Slippers here?" She said, "She'll probably be here later." "If she doesn't come, tell her I said hi."\n\nWell, since then I've been trying to drop hints like MAD at him. I told him that I said hi and that he was really good in the school production. THEN our little group was going to get together and go out and he couldn't go so I got my friend to tell him that I was looking forward to seeing him and was sorry he couldn't make it (we don't talk, so you'd think he'd catch the hint). She said he grinned both times, and after the group thing he said to tell me he said hi again.\n\nI haven't scared him away yet but I'm afraid if I ask him out I'll scare him away! Help me please. :(

try actually talking to him. make the effort to get his screen name or email address! if you don't ever talk to him you won't ever know him


Just wondering, I have a female who is intrested and I want to know if girls in that age bracket think a man in that age bracket is a reasonable choice for a serious relationship? Is the attraction the same, physcially, or is it based upon something else?

that is fine. I am 18 and my boyfriend is 36. This August will be our 2 year aniversary. YAY. We love each other very much. He is a wonderful man. So if u think it will work and u both like each go for it. Age is nuthin but a number.


I twisted it while running for the bus 18 months ago. It got better but I used an elastic bandage for a verrry long time afterwards. Even now its not good. If a carry heavy stuff on that side or trip on uneven floor (as I did today) it feels niggly. Not pain but feels that all is not well. Should I be  worried? Is it bad to wear an elastic bandage for so long? I am a bit worried I have done permanent damage. Please give me some advice!

Yes, you should check it consulting with your doctor.\n I had this kind of problem also. I got my wrist twisted  two years before.I had some treatment on it. I thought I will get healed. But after six months i didn't get healed. Then i got serious and checked out by a doctor. After that my wrist give me no problem anymore!


i just want to know if you live in africa?\ncause with that answer i'd be able to answer yours. (p.s. i DO live in africa!)


The Handicapped Accessible Act of 1990 required accessibility to restrooms.  We live in a 55+ mobile home park where the owner owns the land.  Our club has never brought the restrooms up to code (handicap accessible).  Are they required by law to do so?  This is so hard on our handicapped neighbors in the park.

I would think that you have a good case to bring forth, but living in a mobile home park myself (in California) if your park is owned by a major corporation (such as ours) I don't know if you would have too much luck without taking a legal stance.  We, ourselves, are going through it with rent control issues (our park has raised our space rent $200 in the last 3 yrs) and it is terrible for seniors.  Prayers go out to you in Florida =)


where does the milk go when a baby is weened from the mother's breast?

When the baby stops taking milk or even before in some women, the body stops producing milk. If it doesn't it may be an hormonal imbalance, but it is not grave. There are pumps to extract the milk.


i had carppal tunnel surgery on both my hands, and recieved work restrictions...do future employers look at this before they hire me, or do i get to start fresh...

actually I just had a training session on this, if your carpal tunnel is permananent they have to treat it as a disability, however if it is a temporary condition usually compared to a broken leg, then your employer is required to make reasonable accomodation for you. As far as other employers when asked why you need to explain. If you are the best qualified then you should be hired, I think you and the poster that was fired after the 12 weeks needs to contact the EEOC and have them do an investigation. Most companies do not want to have them involved and are ready to settle, also FYI if they are found negligible you are eligible for $300,000 for each incident.


i wannna take the 640-801 next month and wondering if anyone got any extra matieral for study.


I have heard people suggest that what Jesus went through was the worst pain that anyone could go through.  Should this assertion be analyzed?  If it´s true that many people volunteer to be crucified every year, then can it really be the worst torture possible?  Did Hypatia, who was skinned alive, die a worse death?  Did many people who were boiled alive, flayed with red-hot pincers, and burned slowly after being coated with oil, die a much worse death?  If Jesus died early on the cross, then did the other two themselves on the other crosses suffer even more?  Is it common to be whipped before being crucified, and if so, have many people been whipped 39 times in a similar fashion?  Did Paul himself say that he was whipped thusly on three separate occasions?  Was the whole process that Jesus went through a normal procedure in Roman times?  Were many other people whipped, forced to carry a cross, and crucified?

Well not that cruxifiction is a walk in the park but YES, there are more painful deaths, ironically some of them were contrived by the very same Church trying to ensure EVERYONE believed the doctrine of Christianity as they saw it during the Inquisition. \n\nSome of their death/torture methods\n\nFlaying- Skinning a person alive and rubbing salt into the raw flesh\n\nDisembowelment- You can imagine for yourself\n\nHung, Drawn and Quatertered- Like the name says\n\nBeing tossed unto spikes- If the landing was not a well aimed one, your death would not be mercifully short. \n\nAmazing how barbaric humans can be.

she has several male friends she says she knew before me and she does not want me to know their numbers.  Am I over-reacting by wanting her to release the secrecy?  We are supposed to be serious about each other.

Normal for her to have male friends.\nNot normal to keep them "secret".\nIs she keeping their identities or just the phone #s a secret?\nHas she introduced you to them? If you've all hung out then it's probably fine and she just thinks you're weird to ask for the numbers.


I am doing a project for chem and had significantly higher results of vitamin c than expected when titrating orange juice with iodine. Are there any good sources of error?

I have gotten 2 UTIs within the past 2-3 months...I was just wondering what causes them and why I've gotten them so much.  I got on birth control about 4 months ago and started having sex about 2 1/2 months ago.  could those things cause it?  please help!  thank you!

when i first started having sex i got a couple too.  be sure to wash up quickly and very well.  if you still get one and dont want to keep using antibiotics, try something called AZO Standard. this helps with the pain and discomfort while you drink enough water to clean your bladder out.  if you get a really bad one and do go on antibiotics, the AZO is still helpful before the antibiotics kick in.


i have alot of muscles in my arms,but the problem is that they dont really show up much. How do i get them to show up?

when you work out doing curls instead of doing real heavy weights do light weights like 20 and 25 and do lots of reps (like 15 reps for 25 and 20 for 20) this will help the cuts show up more (takes 3 to 4 weeks for top results)


consider a book lying on a table. the weight of the book and the normal force by the table on the book are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.how do u say it illustrates newton's third law apart frm the fact that the forces r equal in magnitude and opp. in direction?

This is not Newtons third law. the two forces you mentioned does not form action reaction pair. they act on the same body. Newtons third law in this case is : action : force of gravity exerted by the earth on the book , reaction : force of gravity on earth by the book. and action : normal force on the book by the table , reaction : force exerted by the book on the table in the downward direction


should cannibus be legalized ? u tell me

If the government can figure a way to tax marijuana, they will legalize it, charge about $10 bucks a joint, so High School students can use their lunch money to get high and stop shootings in their schools, beating up fags, and raping girls; cause then it would be a "don't worry, be happy attitude", and nobody would feel hate, just love and peace.\nI vote YES, what the heck, give it a try, see if things don't improve in our country. Dealers would be out of a job, so they wouldn't be to happy. I say we legalize all illegal drugs, put all the DRUG LORDS out of business, cut down on crime; People only want what they can't have, if it were not illegal, the urgency would dissipate.


There are many things that could affect your computers performence on start up. Getting a new computer is not the answer. The best way is to back up all of your data and start fresh with a new windows load (Recovery CD's come with almost all manufactured computers). Also If you cannot do that option go to start and run. Then type msconfig hit ok. Go to the start up tab and remove some of the programs at start up. Also make sure your dekstop is clear of clutter. Reason being is because if you have lots of data on your desktop your computer trys to put it in your memory and takes up the needed space to run windows or programs. Also make sure you empty your recycling bin. Good Luck!


Mine would be Bill Walton. A wealth of NBA knowledge, deliverers it perfectly, and not afraid to have an opinion. Steve Kerr is good too. Funny guy.

I agree - Bill Walton. Very opinionated, very cocky, very knowledgeable. This makes for very entertaining TV. He also went to my alma mater UCLA, so bonus points for that.\n\nI also like Marv Albert. He's very easy to listen to and also very entertaining. He got arrested a few years back for some kinky sex thing (which wasn't actually a crime), and that also gives him bonus points in my book too.\n\n--------\n\nPS - I can't stand Brent Musburger. He's such a tool.

I'm 21 and he's 23 we've been together for two years in June. So when is a good time to move in together?

In my opinion, you should wait until you get married. Then it will be special. I don't know if you even plan on marrying him, but that is the best thing to do. My dad has been "shacked-up" a couple times, and it hasn't really worked.

i need a good new eating habit but i dont know what to eat or how to exercise right...oh and it needs to be cheap!! help!!

try taboo\nWHAT to eat for losing weight\n\n• Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, especially NC (negative calorie) food.\n\n* Print these lists. They will be your ... "Bible", from now on !\n* Dill and parsely - include them in all your salads. Also ognion + garlic.\n* Try eat mostly fresh vegs & fruits (whenever possible, of course)\n* If you really want a book, then check this out: The Negative Calorie Diet Workbook & Cookbook - eBook (Win95/98 only). Read more about this e-book here.\n\n\n• Eat fish, chicken, beef, pork. (preferences are in this order)\n\n* If you are a vegetarian, then ignore this!\n* Avoid fat meat\n\n\n• Eat 2-3 slices of bread/day. Don't EVER exclude bread from your diet!\n\n• Snacks between meals (if needed): apples, oranges, grepfruits and other NC fruits\n\n* Don't cheat ... NO cookies, chips, candies, brownies etc! \n* EVEN if they have "low fat" indication... They might have low fat, yet they can have lots of CALORIES !!!\n\n\n• About rice, potatoes, beans, [xxx]nuts, pastry, pasta... you know!\n\n* Don't eat too much of those, at least during the first weeks of the diet. I'm not a low carb addict, but I've noticed weight gains if consuming those in large quantities, especially when associated with other foods.\n* If you like them a lot, try and eat them like one meal. A nice delicious plate of spaghetti could be your lunch (never dinner!), followed by a nice big apple. These rich starch foods are not good for dinner!\n* At dinner time, chose mainly large mixed veggies salads... with fish, lean meat or cheese (if you are not a vegetarian). \n\nif u want to lose weight the best food to it are baked potatoes with nothing on it. no salt no nothing just plain. u can eat a 10000000000 baked potatoes till ur stuff and not gain a pound. i heard that from a weight loss tape. the best drink is water or gatorade. thats a start then when you work out do some taeboo. if u want a macine. run with dumbells on a treadmill. u could do the rocky workout. but thats a new story. u could use a butterfly macine i think it works the abs\n\n1) It is not just the amount you eat, but what you eat. Lean meats and vegtables that snap are a good place to start. And by snap I mean fresh and not boiled or doused with better or whatever.\n\n2) Exercise moderatly but for about an hour every other day. Spend half of that walking or running at a good enough pace for you to feel labored. The other half of the time use weights, or exercises such as push ups or situps to get a muscle "burn". A gym is also an option, but I don't know if you have the money for or want to spend the money on it.\n\n3) Sleep well. To bed earlier and up earlier. Exercise in the morning when you wake up, not in the evening before bed. 7 hours of GOOD sleep is a must.\n\n4) Occupy yourself with a hobby that keeps your attention for a long period of time. A hobby like this keeps your mind focused and gives less of a chance for snacking from boredom.\n\nThat is a good place to start... if you see good results, keep it up and modify to fit you... if it does not, see a doctor AND a trainer \n\nKeep working out, drink water a lot, eat 5 to 6 meals a day but in small quantities, vegtables are important specially cucumber and lattice, fruits not be eaten after meals except by 2 to 3 hours, minimize the starch quantities in your meals lots of salad is important, your last meal must be before you sleep by 2 to 3 hours\nthe most important thing is you don't lose patient wait and have a strong will to be as what you want\n\nyou might have some more ideas from www.ivillage.com\n\ngood luck


I've heard, like the sun, the earth's magnetic field is an essential energy source for all living things. If the earth's magnetic field no longer existed, how would this effect all life on our planet?\n\nWithout this form of energy, could it be responsible for ending all life as we know it? If so, how long would it take before our planet "died"?

Well, the Earth's magnetic field has dropped to near zero many times in the past; whenever a magnetic reversal occurs, the magnetic field grows much weaker before it reverses polarity. It has been shown that the Earth went with only an extremely, extremely weak magnetic field for about 2000 years. Apparently, life was not too adversely affected by it; we still exist, and no extinction events coincided with the time frame. Therefore, the most we would have to worry about is the radiation we would recieve from the sun and space; an increase in skin cancers could be expected, though not much else.


we all know that with out all the immigrants this country would not be as it is now. Most of us all we want is a better life and education. I just don't get it....

Because right now U.S. don´t need more workers, this nation is build for immigrant (except for few native-american who survive). Clinton leave the country with the biggest profit in the history and Bush changed to the biggest deficit in the history; and we need to blame someone.\nAlso the Global-market made few rich people with billions and a lot of poor people who trade to find something better in the other side of the border, like Ellis Island but now the gate is closed.


She broke up with him the same day he asked her out and she didn't want to or mean to.

You can't accidentally break up with someone.\n\nIf she really feels like it was an accident, maybe she should try to explain herself to him.

think hard, really good players that deserve to be on there, think think think

Wow.. these guys have no idea what they are talking about. They should get Adriano and Torres/Milito as forwards. As for the midfield Riquelme would be a great addition as would Rosicky (maybe the Petrovs too). In defense they should get central midfielders. Two have done well and are young are Chimbonda and Toure.

String theory suggests that there are likely at least 11 other dimensions besides the one we are used to....

Ever since man took an interest in the sciences, from perhaps the time of Aristotle onwards, from time to time great ideas have been put forward. Some of these have seemed initially ludicrous, and turned out to be so. Others, with a little development, have given us a great insight into the way that the world works and enabled us to move on. \nAt a given moment of time, it may appear that what we know is fairly correct and will correct timelessly. However, history has shown that this is not the case. Eventually, perhaps, we will know everything, but right now this is far from the case. \nTake one of the fundamental aspects of physics, for instance. For a long time now people have thought that the matter is made up of tiny, invisible particles; atoms and their sub-components. This is the model we learn and that everyone worked around. \nYet in recent times, this has been challenged, by what is known as string theory - and it now seems that this is a better model, perhaps the more 'correct' one. \nString theory, against the traditional theory of matter, says that matter is caused by the vibrations of a string-like structure. These are the fundamental building blocks of matter. It is a bizarre sounding radical theory at first, but now has much support. \nJust like a violin string when plucked will produce sounds, and different sounds when plucked in different ways, so it is with the universe - with string theory, the fluctuations give rise to matter. On this view, the universe may romantically be described as a symphony. The framework of the vibrating string causes the song that we see around us. \nThis, then, in outline is string theory, and it has greatly changed the way that modern physicists do their subject.

I've noticed a lot of hot racially mixed girls lately. Is that the future? Jessica Alba, Brooke Burke, etc...are we all going to be super hot when the races finally mix? How far will plastic surgery and genetic manipulation grow?

"Hot" really does depend on the viewer. I would not say that the whole world is going to become a racial mix in future because there are too many people who still will only marry and reproduce with their own race. And you cannot really judge by just racially mixed celebreties like Keanu Reeves because that is very biased. You will definitely be guarenteeeeeed to see some racially mixed people in NYC that won't look hot... can't go and say ALL racially mixed people will be "super hot"... I used to think that when I was a kid, and only knew of a few interracial people, which made me thought that I would only want interracial kids. I learned that it is not true!


Me and my ex had been together for 3 1/2 years. We are 18 and about to graduate. We were so in love and talked about marriage and he was planning on going to cancun with us for graduation. He paid 400 dollars towards it. Last wednesday he broke up with me and said he wants to test the waters. He has only been with me;sex,kiss,love,everything has only been with me. That fallowing sunday I finally called him and asked him to come talk to me. He came over and we started talking. He told me he loves me he thinks but he wants to make sure. Then the next day we were texting and I asked him if he wants me to find someone else and he said yeas so then I said "so obviously it is over for good for ever" and he said "why would you say that" his friends say he loves me he just knows that marraige is a possibility and he wants to make sure I am it. After that I tried texting and calling him and he wont return either one. I want him back what do i do?

Let him go.  It sounds like he is running scared. If he really wants you, he will be back. In the meantime, move on. There are other fish in the sea. You deserve the best.  IN the meantime, enjoy.


It is so weird. I am paralized but I feel like my body is lifting up in the air and I am thrashing around the room. The feeling is so real and I am techinally awake while it is happening however I can;t move. I also get a pulsating ringing in pressure in my ears when this is going on. \nThis state will on for quite awhile until I can will myself awake..which is hard because I am in a very foggy daze which even lasts for awhile afterwards. \nHas this happened to anyone else? \nI really feel like aliens are trying to snatch me. Its quite disturbing

no you are not alone. for the longest time i got the same feelings only i would lay ther with my eyes open, not beeing able to move my body, it only lasts a few minutes but feels like forever. Take niacin(b12)


I have a 4' beam with a support 3' from one end, with a fixed load on that end. How do I calculate the needed weight to counterbalance that load?

If you need an exact balance, you will need too weights (combined).  You will need 3/4 the weight of the beam at the end of the short end to balance the beam (unless you can neglect that).  You then need to balance the weight (w) at the end of the long end with a counter weight CW) at the end of the short end.  A formula that woorks should look like this:\n\nW x 3ft = CW x 1ft\n\nCW = (W x 3ft)/1ft\n\nCW = 3W (plus 3/4 beam weight)


i am still till this day amazed that a very heavy steal object can fly for thousands of miles, how about you ?\ni also think some of the best inventions are Air conditioners,refrigerators and compact discs

The airplane is one of the greatest inventions in history. The fact that today hundreds of thousands of commuters fly through the air every day is mind-boggling. The fact that most of these commuters don't know how they are managing this incredible feat and would rather watch "American Idol" than learn how is not so mind-boggling.


Early in my childhood , I had a black and white cat as a pet, but sadly it died very young \nWhat was my cats name ? \n\ni need the answer to this. i dont know the answer. first correct answer will get best answer :)


Niether God nor Jesus nor Buddah invented the act or the concept of harmonious and respectful living.  These are OUR concepts to own and enjoy, OURSELVES.  Let's skip the middle men!

It can be done.  Some people need to cling to a father(or mother) figure.  Its part of their psychological make up.  Only through developing insight into oneself can one learn to love oneself.  When one learns to love oneself, then that person can learn to love others without fear or boundaries.


Europeans don't have grey teeth. Why are you stereotypical? Their teeth are just like anyone else's anywhere in the world.


dude i believe that God can make a rock that it can't be lifted by even himself,  but then he could always make it light again and put it in his pocket and take it wherever he feels.  that's because God is a bad@$$.  i assume you'd of thought of that.  come on man use your imagination


Unless you are really trying something ridiculous (IM or the like), it is not as frightening as it seems. 2-3 hours a week can do a great job of training for shorter events. Add an hour if you want to try Olympic distance. Doing a little of everything each week cuts it down.  Also, it keeps things from getting really dull.\n\nAlso check any or all of the sites listed below. They all have folks that can help.

i uninstalled old drivers, reinstalled new drivers...and i keep getting this message: Setup failed to run installation. The remote procedure call failed.\n-click OK-\n\nalso, my files load reall slowly now. if i open my computer it takes a good minute for it to find all the folders.\n\nAND when i open any song i have WMP wont play them.\n\nall because i switched from a 9600xt to a 9800 pro?

I hope you have yourself a recent restore point, go back to it.  I know they tell you to uninstall the drivers... blah blah blah, back in the day that would have been true.  But the magic of todays hardware and drivers puts the past in the past.  The idea behind using the ATi Catalyst Control Center is that you don't need to do that.  I went from the X800XL to the X1600Pro and here's what happened... ATi is configuring your new graphics card, please wait...\n\nEventually it notified me installation was complete and asked me to restart I did and everything was fine.  So with new hardware you don't need to uninstall and reinstall drivers, it just works.  The same is true for nVidia drivers, all you have to do is swap cards and the driver will recognize the new card.\n\nThe reason is that manufacturers now use unified drivers which not only makes development easier, it's cheaper also.  So find yourself a restore point and the old drivers should be reinstated AND should recognize the 9800Pro provided you are using the Catalyst Control Center, if not... that is what you should install, I'd use that first rather than attempting to use the drivers on the CD.\n\nYou do realize that the 9800Pro is old school and doesn't support SM 3.0 or HDR goodies, right?


I'm open to all suggestions. I love to read, and learn new things. Got any interesting topics for me to check out? Ideas are much appreciated. Thanks.

I have an extremely complex database driven website all planned out.  But have no money to get it started.  Where can I find a web developer, willing to work for free, and share the remaining profits?

Do you have a business plan? I am not looking now, so don't ask, but I have taken profit sharing plans in the past. One thing I always required was a detailed business plan. After all, if I'm doing the work, I want to know that I will eventually get something out of it.


Most Christians will agree that Islam have a different god than them, yet they all believe in the same god Moses believed in, is this proof that there is no god and that "god" is only as big as the culture that worships him?\n\nThe western world see god in a western way while easterners see god in a eastern way...\n\nI see no god just a bunch of delusional people that don't even know the history of their own religions. \n\nWhat do you think about this religious evolution?

Yes. Any mutations (new ideas) that occur with data that is being viewed in an evolutionary sense and that survives or persist (such as Islam and Christianity), are examples of evolution.\n\nThis is not biological evolution per se, it just follows the same algorithm.  Some Christians will have a hard time buying this, partly because their religion has in many ways, demonized the word, 'evolution'.  Some just see monkeys when they hear that word, they have a hard time getting beyond that because it would break down big chunks of their belief stucture and who they feel they are inside.

About 5 months ago my 5 year old out of the blue said that my husband kissed another woman.I was in absolute shock took her some wher private and asked why she had said that. she told me a story ... She said that the other day when she went to work with her daddy and it was still dark out(he leaves at about 5:30 am)they had walked(he works at his parents bakery approx.1/2 mile away)and outside the convience store that is just before getting to the bakery,a girl younger than I (she added prettier,too)stopped them and started to speak w/ her dad. she said he told her to wait on the sidewalk and moved ashort distance from her to talk to the girl.They were holding eachothers hands but she could not here what they were talking about.She then said that she kissed him and said she was going home. She didnt specify whether or not they kissed on the lips.When her daddy walked up to her he said don't tell your mom or I'll spank you. when i asked him he said she made it up and denied eveything.

First of all, that is your daughter!!!  Why wouldn't you believe her!???  You know it's true you just have to face it!  That's really messed up that he would tell your daughter that he would spank her.  What kind of man is he anyway!?  And you're still with him.  Obviousle your daughter knows that something is happening so she decided to tell you about it!  Respect her if not yourself.


Job apps ask a blanket question usually along the lines of "Have you been convicted of a felony within the past 'x' years?  If so, for what?  Please provide details."  I think that convicted felons who have served their time have as much right to work as anyone else.\n\nI'm of the opinion that there does need to be some protection for the prospective employer & other employees; however, I think the question could be made more crime specific.  For example, a job that involves handling money might ask questions such as "Have you ever been conviced of armed robbery, grand theft, etc."  A job that involves someone working with children or entering people's homes (telephone repair; carpet installation, etc.) might ask "Have you ever been convicted of a felony sex offense, manslaughter, murder, etc."\n\nWhat are your thoughts on the idea that depriving convicted felons who have served their sentences of the right to earn a living is more likely to cause them to become repeat offenders?

I think it's a total disgrace for an applicant to be refused employment after he has served his time. I can understand in the case of a child molester working with children or a robber working at a bank handling money. Something needs to been done to change those laws I agree fully. I believe it should be considered discrimination because after all you are locked up and your rights have already been taken away for a specific time period. Same thing for apartment housing , I'm not against background checks, people should know who they are hiring, but it should not prevent them from gettin a job or a place to live. I feel this is discrimanation also on felons. Apartments should have to provide apartment security because half of the criminals don't get caught anyway. They shouldn't prevent people from having housing and jobs. Probation officers require felons to go out and get a job if they don't they will have to go back to jail and the government will end up taking our tax dollars anyway to keep them up.


Im scheduled to go to prison soon and want to know how I can protect myself from getting raped or killed while iin prison

the only way to not get bugged is to not be in there in the first place. you did a crime and now you gotta pay for what you did. doesnt matter how bad the crime you gotta learn the hard way. i have no sympathy for anyone goin to jail, no matter what the crime. if you didnt deserve to be there then you wouldnt be on your way. tough luck buddie
