I consider myself a regular guy who enjoys doing fun stuff like riding my bike, listening to music, drinking beer, playing pool, checking out girls, and other things normal guys like doing. However, I never got into three things that are generally associated with masculinity: hunting, violent video games, or physical contact sports like boxing or football. Why does it seem that I am the exception to the rule? When I see a bunch of guys get together to watch a sports game I don't feel any desire to join them in their sports-worshiping revelry. Or when my friends go hunting I never choose to go with them and don't care to hear about their hunting stories. Also, while I like some video games I refuse to play the more violent ones because I find them too brutal and offensive for my conscience. Are there any other ordinary straight guys like me out there who aren't obsessed with violent pastimes?

There's nothing wrong with that at all.  My boyfriend is like that as well.  He doesn't care for sports, in fact, I watch more sports than he does.  And he's not into video games, violent or not.  Nor does he hunt.  It's perfectly normal that you're that way.  So, don't sweat it!  In fact, I find it a turn on that he's not turned on by sports.  hehe

i would not like to be you if you have got caught

A long, long time ago & it was with a pair of sisters who were notorious hellcats. Lemme tell ya, I may not be a smart man but I'm not the dullest tool in the shed either. I truly learned my lesson after that experience & do not wish to ever experience something like that except maybe in a truly pleasureable, erotic context, ever again (not so much for the physical pain, that was neglible, but for the embarassment, not to mention any emotional pain or hurt that the incident caused to them)


I have a three-year old Dell Laptop...this AU Browse pop-up window, uses an altered dell icon at the bottom right hand corner of my screen.  I have installed McAffe firewall & Security...yet, I am still getting this pop up.  Yesterday, it interrupted me, while I was paying my cell phone bill online.  What can I do?

Sometimes a different virus scanner will pick out the virus. AdAware and Spybot are two good ones to try. Just be sure to turn off (disable) McAfee while scanning.

type of sports?type of available resources?

In 1910- 1950 no black was treated fairly whatsoever. There were the negroe leagues for baseball and probably seperate leagues for other sports. From, 1951-1990 there isnt as much discrimination, but there was still some.

After computer has been on ten minutes or so i cant use either dvd drives. From start menu-my computer, they dont even show up anymore? The only thing i havent tried is to re-set the computer as i bought it. Any other ideas? I have many pics, songs and files i dont wanna lose by re-seting it.

Check the Processor Fan first.. this is the main thing that creates problem.. If its not working or covered with dust, the processor is getting heated and is not responding.. Clean ur cabinet removing all the parts.. check the cabinet or SMPS(power supply) fans.. if these doesnt work, try reinstalling the operating system, backup all the data into a partition and format the partition having Operating System.. Data wont get lost.. and also restore default settings in BIOS if nothing goes right.. before restoring, write down all the settings..


yahoo.com, ask.com, google.com, etc. have all gone to the advertising dogs and the spyware installers and no longer produce relevant results when searching for information. Are there any real search engines left on the internet? If I had the time, I would just begin to manually index all the web sites I visit and then publish the results myself for others to access.

Same with me. And I HATE Google.\n\nTry www.search.com ; they're pretty basic.\nAlso, you could try www.dogpile.com , which covers many different search engines in one.\nIn addition, there's a new one called Zenome (www.zenome.com) and that is pretty good, although it's just starting out.

An argument was presented on who was the most powerful: Goku or Gohan. Please specify the most powerful character(Z fighter and/or villain) according to POWER Level and saga(original DB, DBZ, DBGT).

it is always going to be goku.  he might be surpassed for a time by gohan or even vegeta, but good ole goku comes through and shows us a new power.  there is something about gohan that hinders him from becoming more powerful.  i think it is there, but his mother has had too much of an influence on him.  goku, in my opinion, is the ultimate warrior.  i find it freakin hilarious that goku is deathly afraid of needles.  do you remember the episode he had to get a shot?  i think it was after vegeta was defeated and ran away with his tail tucked between his legs.  literally.


i began to lik him everytime i see him again

The poem was in a magazine, and it was about a child's eyes.

This isn't it, is it?\n\nWindow Shopper\n   \n \n  I stood before a candy shop\nWhich with a Christmas radiance shone;\nI saw my parents pass and stop\nTo grin at me and then go on.\nThe sweets were heaped in gleamy rows;\nOn each I feasted - what a game!\nAgainst the glass with flatted nose,\nGulping my spittle as it came;\nSo still I stood, and stared and dreamed,\nSavouring sweetness with my eyes,\nDevouring dainties till it seemed\nMy candy shop was paradise.\n\nI had, I think, but five years old,\nAnd though three-score and ten have passed,\nI still recall the craintive cold,\nThe grimy street, the gritty blast;\nAnd how I stared into that shop,\nIts gifts so near and yet so far,\nOf marzipan and toffee drop,\nOf chocolate and walnut bar;\nImagining what I would buy\nAmid delights so rich and rare . . . \nThe glass was misted with my sigh:\n"If just one penny Pop could spare!"\n\nAnd then when I went home to tea\nOf bread and butter sparsely spread,\nOh, how my parents twitted me:\n"You stood for full an hour," they said.\n"We saw you as we passed again;\nYour eyes upon the sweets were glued;\nYour nose was flattened to the pane,\nLike someone hypnotized you stood."\nBut when they laughed as at a joke,\nA bitterness I could not stem\nWithin my little heart awoke. . . .\nOh, I have long forgiven them;\nFor though I know they did no own\nPennies to spare, they might, it seems\nMore understanding love have shown\nMore sympathy for those vain dreams,\nWhich make of me with wistful gaze\nGod's Window Shopper all days. \n\nRobert W. Service


I had a dream about my boyfriend not telling me about his dream after starting it then telling me about it later. The next day I go to school and he says that he had a dream with me in it then doesnt say anymore. Later he tells me that his dream was about us making out at his house. I dont know what to do because my dream happened and it had something to do with his dream. So did his dream mean something more? Reply fast im going to his house soon.

You each dream about each other because you are both thinking about each other about the time you go to bed and you each are excited about the new relationship (you are on a high!). \n\nIf you want to read more into it, you can, but you are making up what it "means".  You can always find a connection.  You both had a dream about each other, you both dreamed about getting closer, you both felt a need to talk to each other about your dreams, but also felt odd talking about it.  The mind is capable of making up all sorts of coincidences and interesting meanings because people are imagination machines.   Enjoy the kissing and the newness.


For the school's Field Day, we form several teams, and offer many stations. We want each team to visit each station and meet a different team there. Each year we have a different number of teams and of stations, and we figure it my hand- very time-consuming.\n\nAnything that will help?

all my boy-friend like to cheat with other girl and when i ask them whay ......they dont really know whay they cheat...strange

i don’t cheat cheat my self if i am with you i am with you (i look but i never touch)\n\nAllot guys don’t have control their feelings enough so think before they act specially at a younger age, they don’t realize that their actions will hurt those they love but there are those who do it just because they are jerks and think they can get away with it.\n\nif he cheated on you and you forgave him he is most likely to do it again so be careful. if he cheats on you make him see how upset this makes you but don’t let him back in your life too easy make him show you he is worthy of you and that he wont cheat.\n\nwhat good is a relationship if is based on lies.


I know that all guys are different; some are extremely confident some are very shy; but can a guy be so shy or so overly cautious that he's seems to be taking a long time (couple of months) to make a move of any kind? Are there guys like this or am I reading signs of him liking me that just aren't there?

There are some guys out there that just do not feel comfortable when it comes to the opposite sex.  It is not that they are gay, but they are not wanting to offend the person they really care for.  There is nothing wrong with taking a relationship slow.  A relationship is build on trust.  The more trust there is in a relationship, the longer the relationship will last.  Good things come to those that wait.

If immigrants are not willing to learn English why do they move to the US?  This seems rude to me.  If I moved to another country I would try to learn the language of that country.\n\nIn addition why is so much info in English and Spanish?  What about other non-English speaking people.  Why not German or Chinese or farshi?

Where to you get your information?????  Only the older generation immigrant has problems learning a new language (English) but the younger ones eagerly learn it and unfortunately forget their native languages.\n\nYour opinion clearly shows your prejudices.  What is so very sad as can be seen from many posters is that many, many Americans are not able to write in English and needless to say in any other language.\n\nI have lived in many other countries where there are expatriate americans living and they do not speak the local language nor make any attempt to do so.  They are under the idea that everyone, everywhere must speak English (as though they could really understand it)\n\nPlease change your bigoted ideas.  Nearly all immigrants make a greater effort to learn and understand than the anglo-americans do to understand them.


I'm currently 42, and for as long as I can remember I have been hard to medicate. Consider these examples: 1)I have to take 2 or 3 800mg ibuprofens to have any affect on headaches or muscle aches.  2)I have a history of depression for which I have tried Paxil, Prozac, Welbutrin, and others. Despite taking doses which increase my chances of having a seizure or something, no affect!  3) I have to take at least 3 Benadryls to notice any difference at all in my runny nose.\n\nDoes anyone have any experience with such a condition? It can be very frustrating because my doctors can't seem to treat me very well and we just end up trying several different products and/or combinations. \n\nSerious replies appreciated!

Probably you have trouble absorbing pills through your digestive tract.  In order for medications or vitamins to work, for instance, they have to be absorbed through the stomach and intestine and into the bloodstream.  Researchers determine the effectiveness of drugs through a measurement of their concentration in the blood plasma, and they look to see how long the blood plasma concentration remains elevated.\n\nI represent a liquid multivitamin and mineral supplement product, and the company has gone to great expense to creat e a product that is easily absorbed and gets into the bloodstream, to remain at high concentration for a longer period of time.\n\nIt seems to me that with all the products you are taking, you should seriously consider taking a full spectrum multivitamin and mineral supplement.  I have heard personally reports of people who have been able to reduce their intake of anxiety and other kinds of stress drugs because they improved their nutrition through the use of these supplements.\n\nYahoo gets mad if I post a link to a web sales site here, but you can write me and I will send you a link in return email, or call you on the phone if you would like to discuss this further.  I can also point you to some research and education tools on the net that you can use for free.  Write me at: jstmother@yahoo.com.  I wish you the best with your health challenges.


In what ways can small businesses benifit from maintaining good accounting?

Small busiensses tend to run out of cash fast.  So you really want to keep track of your cash flow.  Also look at if you have too much A/R.  Will you be able to pay your A/P.  How long does it take for your inventory to turn.  If you run out of cash, where can you get credit.  Good accounting can help you keep an eye on these issues to mange your business.

Depends on how she was raised, not the ethnicity. I know plenty of Asian girls that are far more outgoing than most people I know, and I know many that are far more shy. So you'd have to find out from her.


Is there an equivalent, to the rectifier which turns direct current to alternate current thanks to the use of diodes, but in reverse, that is turn direct current in alternate current??????

You need a circuit called an inverter.  These are available to plug into your 12 V socket in your car.  However, use these with the engine running or you could easily drain your battery.


...I don't understand the benefits of frienship and studying. I hate school. At school, I hang around other kids so other kids won't notice that I am left out. And I am overly nice to my classmates when I have to talk to them so they just think I am just quiet or shy. When I don't think that is 100% the case. I hate to study at school and  don't study at home because it reminds me of the social field of school. I don't understand the other kids conversation structure. They way kids talk is different than when me and my mom practice social skills I think they are "socially sillies". I can't ask the teachers questions in class because the kids snicker and stare at me when I stutter. And I can't really stay for after school turtoring because my attention span is out after 2:45 pm and I also have work after school. I feel like I really have no pinpoint or motive in life, nothing excites me. What can I do?

Is there any health risk involved, when we use those belts?

Actually, it is sort of a temporary fix. If you wear a sauna belt while you work out or do cardiovascular activity, the belt pulls salt (from fat), sweat, & excess water out of your body, so when you take it off, the belt will be soaked from those fluids. But it is not an effective weight loss mechanism because the effects are minimal. You can put preperation-H on your stomach, wrap it in saran wrap, and get the exact same effect. The preperation-H works great under the sauna belt, by the way. I have my bodybuilding clients use the prep-H and the sauna belt under a sweatshirt while doing cardio 6 weeks prior to thier shows. It's a quick, minimal-results, temporary fix!


I have an old charge on my credit report which if I don't even recognize.  It is causing my credit score to suffer.  I would even be willing to pay the 300+ dollar charge if I have to but I don't even know how to find out who to pay.

Call the credit report company and they will tell you the number or address of the company in question.Also if it's on your credit report it usually tells you when they will take the charge off.

A major cause of light sensitivity in people is just that they don't have a lot of pigment in their eyes.  If you have fair skin/hair and light irises, this could easily be the cause.  If this is something that you just started experiencing, you should know that there are many diseases/infections that have photosensitivity as a symptom.  If that's the case for you, make an appointment with your eye doctor.


How long do you think it will take for all eight of the Powerball lottery winners to be broke & unhappy?

Hopefully they'll be wise with their newfound wealth and can enjoy it for the rest of their lives. I read that a couple of them are immigrants from Vietnam and are going to better the lives of family members back home.\n\nUnderstand that after taxes, each will get $15 million - now, I *would* LOVE to have that "problem," as over a period of 30 years, that's still $500,000 per year. They should be fine if they're smart, even though it's a seemingly infinite amount of money.\n\nIt's the others around them who will make them miserable: jealous co-workers, "long-lost kin," sleazy investors, etc. The winners don't owe anyone a darn thing, but outsiders will try to make them feel as though they do.

Why is it thought by religious people that those without religion won't/can't have morals? Seems like morals are a pretty simple concept, if I hurt that guy he's going to feel pain and I know what pain feels like so I wouldn't want anyone else to feel that way. Stealing is wrong because it means someone doesn't have something they own and I know how that feels. My parents taught me a fine job without the use of religion..

They don't need religion to be moral.  Religion is a tool used to control the masses.

why? If we are so concerned about burtal dictators, thare are a bunch in Africa that don't happen to be sitting on top of oil reserves.  And don't justify it with the WMDS they MIGHT have had.

Hi there,\n\nI think the reason is to show off America's power or their greed for power.\n\nHere's why I think so-\n\nThe USA first attacked Iraq and captured Saddam Hussein near Tikrit. The reason Mr.Bush gave for that is that the USA suspects some biological weapons in Iraq.\n\nAfter the war was over but nothing revealed, Mr.Bush apologized for this bliss by saying that he received false intelligence reports. Now that's easy, it's the same thing as I kick you hard and then apologize. Whatever the damage should be done, it was done. \n\nSo I think the reason for these attacks is not any terrorist threat to USA or the greed for oil, but it is just to show off it's power to the world after the attack of Sep 11th. I just think it is a ploy to scare away the people. It means something like Mr.Bush wants to say "We are rich, we are powerful, we can do anything, so don't mess with us."\n\nI don't mean to offend all the Americans out there. I just told you my opinion about the attacks. If I offended anyone, my sincere apologies. And let me make it clear, I'm not being partial to Mr.Hussein. I think he ruled Iraq for quite some time with an iron fist.\n\nI just told you my opinion frankly, but anyone of you here are free to disagree with this. After all, everyone has their own thought process. \n\n\nrule wid style n luv@vinny

Ted Kennedy's family owns an oil company. What is the name of the company?

If you're talking about the american political family who made their wealth in oil it is the rockefeller's and Standard Oil \n \nJoe kennedy started out as a broker and got his real start to wealth by being the only legal distributer of Gin during prohibition.\n\nCitizens energy is a non profit company  formed in 1979 by Joe Kennedy II with the following Mission : MISSION STATEMENT\nCitizens Energy Corporation exists to help make life's basic needs more accessible and affordable. Beginning in 1979 with oil-trading ventures in Latin America and Africa, Citizens has used revenues from commercial enterprises to channel millions of dollars into charitable programs in the U.S. and abroad. \n\nWhether heating the homes of the elderly and poor in Massachusetts, lowering the cost of prescription drugs for millions of Americans, or starting solar heating projects in Jamaica and Venezuela, Citizens creates social ventures as innovative as the businesses that finance them. At the same time, Citizens Energy is constantly on the lookout to use market opportunities to help the poor and needy. At Citizens Energy, we believe no one should be left out in the cold.


When I picked my room.  I remember that I was carrying a box full of stuffed animals and I placed it in the archway of my house.  Then I took a rabbit and went to the room on my left, I then put the stuffed animal in the middle of the room and sat down.  I was about 2 or 3, it was when we just moved in.  So, it's still my room.

One with grudge: Thinks they lie a lot tells me I should be just her friend and not have other friends.\nCarly: Thinks that I should be both of their friends and not ignore either one of them.  To just hang out and be my self.

Both sides. Get them together. Talk to them one by one in different rooms. Ask them about the huge prob. Get them in the same room. You get out of the room. Hang on to the doorknob.. put your ear on the door and listen. If thingz go wrong go in and get thingz straight. If they don't talk.. just keep standing there unless if you really feel that you want to get into the room and see them apologize yourself.


By "real" I mean worn by Dorothy (Judy Garland) in the movie.

It's hard to say for sure exactly how many pairs ther were, as MGM did not keep specific records. It is also possible that there were pairs that were destroyed, as many of the current authenticated pairs on the market were saved on their way to the incinerator. But it is known that there were several pairs made for Garland, which was a common practice for key props so that if anything happened to them during filming, they could be quickly changed.\n\nBut there are many "real" red slippers from the Wizard of Oz that Garland wouldn't have worn. Remember, the Wicked Witch of the East had  pair on when she was hit by the house and Margaret Hamilton (Wicked witch of the West) had a pair on when she flew past the window on a broom (in the sepia colored scenes). Also, Garland's double Bobbie Koshay would have had several pairs made for her.\n\nSo in the end, there would probably be quite a few "real" ruby slippers out there that were actually involved in the production of the 1939 classic The Wizard of Oz.


to believe in a god wherein the believers have a solid set of basic beliefs (i don't mean solid as in there is proof of existence, solid as in in order to be called a part of this faith you have to subscribe to this basic belief structure) or to be atheist and just say f*ck it to any religion involving some kind of higher power? for religion: that means to accept that there are some things in this universe that you will never know or be able to begin to understand and placing all your faith in something that you can never be sure of. for atheist: that means to accept that you are nothing but a meaningless speck of speck of matter that is the remnants of the birth of this universe and not unique in any way. keep in mind practical problems involved with having different beliefs like parents finding out about your conversion to a new religion or no religion at all. i'm tired of atheist saying that it is easier to just be a christian (i'm agnostic) when really both have their problems

To belive in God is easier for people who were raised to belive. For people who want a receipt for life (if this happens, you do that ... because God said so). It's easier for people who are afraid to think that the sacrifices they do might actually be in vain and there's nothing after life.  It's easier for those who belive that there must be someone bigger than themselfs out there that made this world work... For people who need proof to belive in something.. it's so much easier to be an atheist.\n\nAs for myself.. I do belive there is a God. I don't belive in church and all those rituals. I don't belive in heaven and in hell. I have no ideea why are we here, I just belive we are supposed to help each other, not kill (in the name of any God). \nI always thought there must be someone who created this world, but I didn't use to care so much about it until a few yeras ago when I had this problem I didn't know how to solve. So I took my chanses and I said "God, if you do exist, I could really use some help now :D" And it worked :)) SO. that was my proof and I belive in God and good people. \nI might be just naive, but this is the easiest way for me..


what is the form of government in japan?

Parlimentary democracy, with the emperor as the head of state.


The reason I'm asking this is that China and the U.S. seem\nto be heading in opposite directions. The Chinese,while still\nCommunist hardliners are working on making a free market and building their economy.They are working to modernize and build up their country.\n The U.S.,on the other hand is embroiled in the political situation in the Middle East. First the Iraq War,now the contemplation of military action against Iran. Not only lives\nand military equipment but hundreds of billions of dollars\nhave been spent.I can't help but think of the Roman Empire.\nAs powerful as it was,it only took a few years of bad leadership to bring about the beginning of the end. Where\nChina has been building up,it seems to me since 2001 the\nU.S. has been on a downward spiral.\n Will the world's most populated country emerge from the background to become the world's new Dominant Power,eclipsing\nthe declining America? If so,when?Will there be a war?\nWhat do you think?

Try reading the book " The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order" Samuel P. Huntington, 1996. He predicts that future conflicts will be determined by cultural factors more than economic or ideological factors. The Western world needs to develop a deeper understanding of religious and philosophical concepts of other civilizations. Religious and cultural fundamentalism can only gain ground by using for their own benifit the contemporary problems such as underdevelopment, unemployment, poverty and racism. And yes China, will become the next World Superpower and will have a strong relationship with Rusia and Japan. These are the results of his studies based on history and facts.


Since this was said a long time ago, I will give you a hint:  He was a former Secretary of State.


It doesn't mean not enough faith, does it?

Well in the Bible it says " do not be anxious of anything" I dont remember maybe in the Gospels. I have anxiety attacks but it does not mean I am a bad Christian. I help my attacks by taking medicine.


I am. Eagle scout. Proud to be part of the nations youngest line of defence;)


The statement “Have a good one!” sounds so insincere and it is so vague that it could mean anything.  What ever happened to “Have a good day!”, “Have a great afternoon!”, or “Have a wonderful evening!”?  At least these statements are more specific.  I caught myself saying it a couple of weeks ago and I did not like the way it sounded.  Every since then I have made a real effort to be more sincere to people.

You are just like me! I hate it when people also say "Hey" instead of "Hello". I think people fall into these trendy slang sayings which drive me crazy. Think for yourself and show some originality.

Who are the people that decided on the words being "cuss words"?

No particular person decides, it's more a choice of society. Any word that comes across "valgure" is nominated. The truth is cuss words are a way of someone expressing his/her feelings, and that's freedom of speech... isn't it?

I do not want the picture to have ALOT of details,because I am not that good of an artsist!


I've recently decided to become a Nurse, and would like to go to community college to earn my degree/certification in college in California (I thought I would start at the LVN level).  My problem is that I don't want to take Student Loans, and am afraid that I will not be able to make a living while going to school.  Any ideas on how I could do that?\n\nBy the way, I am 38 years old.\n\nThanks!

Check with government grant programs...they used to be Pell Grants. Now I think they are called Federal Student Aid or something like that.\n\nMake sure you get free applications...some places charge for the "free ones".\n\nGood luck and hang in there.


Yes, the South Beach Diet. It was actually designed by a cardiologist for better health,(and of course weight loss)for his heart patients, a good percentage of whom were diabetic. The book "The South Beach Diet" is in paperback now, I got mine at Walmart for $5.77. It is also the easiest diet I have ever been on. And I am a HUGE bread lover!! I hope you get and read the book regardless of whether you try the diet because it is a treasure of info.

No.  I think a National League team will take it.  They seem to have made the bigger moves during the off-season.


I have always thought that the Jews would continue to sacrifice.  But they have stopped...\n\nIs this correct?

Their temple was destroyed in 70 AD. No temple, no sacrifice. Their is a group of Jewish leaders in Israel whom have decided if the Temple was ever rebuilt, not to re-establish animal sacrifices.


i want to know all about the nutritional need of fish

It's impossible to answer. Some fish are predators, some live entirely on fruit and nuts, some fish live on mud, some live on plankton, some on microscopic algae.\n\nSome fish eat only jellyfish, or just a single species of algae and won't touch anything else. Other fis will eat anything that moves to slow whether it's a baby crocodile, a dead elephant, a lettuce leaf, slime scraped off the rocks or just a pile of mud.\n\nTo discuss the nutritional requirements of fish in even the most basic detail would take several years and result in a several books.\n\nYou will need to narrow down what fish species you are asking about to get any sensible answers.

he is my friend,i like him and he is interested in me, he like me before but now i feel that i love him and i want him to know that now i dont know what i feel: like him,love him,friend.HELP.

If you were friends before you'll probably be good partners,but when you take that step,you cannot go back to being just friends.So decide if you want to lose that friend for a lover.You'll get a better grip on the like/love feelings after you two start the actual dating.


I don't know if anyone has alredy aske this question so I asked it anyway. I am a person who loves meeting people from all different cultures, religons, places, and backgrounds. I try my best not to jude anyone, But I see that many people are quick to jude homosexuals. The first thing I hear from those who oppose it is that homosexuality is a sin and that there all going to hell. If that is true then many of us are going to hell because we sin everyday. That's just how I feel about it, but I would like some honest feedback.

I wish I could give you a straight answer.  I am like you, I love meeting new people of all races, ethnicities, genders, I like everyone.  Society is too closed minded.  Saying homosexuality is a sin so we should hate gays is ludacris.  If Christians hate gays because they sin then shouldn't they hate alcoholics, rapists, murderers, all other religions, democrates, just the same?  Shouldn't they put forth just as much anger and protest against these groups as well? People who hate homosexuals have ill logic.  We as open minded people need to set the standard and put morons in their place.


Besides counting to ten. I blew my top at work today

If your anger is broken and you blew your top, then keep it broken, If you fix it you could really hurt yourself next time.


Okay, basically I want to know why muslims will take to the streets in violent protest when somebody in a far away country makes a cartoon, but they do nothing when people are being kidnaped, tortured, beheaded, killed, and held against there will. \nI try very hard to understand their culture and think with an open mind but I am very confused. Why does a cartoon upset them to the point of violence, and knowing that women and girls were forced to burn to death because they were not allowed to leave a burning building without their head scarves. Scarves they could not locate because of the fire , does not bother them at all? With all messed up things going on in the world can they not think of something better to get pissed about? I gave a link, what is the big deal? I can think of alot of things that offend my beliefs, but I would not burn down anything to prove my point. Pat Robertson offends me to no end but I do not have to hurt anybody or destroy anybody to prove this. why???

It is not simply the cartoons that started this violence.  Sure, they were the flashpoint, but this has been building up for years.  Radical muslims hate the western world.  They hate the free speech.  We are two different cultures, and it will be interesting how this will play out.\nI personally think that normal, honest, good natured Muslims, of which 99 percent of Muslims are, should begin to do something about their radical 1 percent brothers.  It's getting old to keep saying "Those are just the extremists that are beheading and bombing."  Well show some damn remorse when it happens, and then teach or kill, whichever the radicals respond to.\nSide note:  Prez Ahmadinejad of Iran blames the Jews for the cartoons.  "President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the caricatures showed the "impudence and rudeness" of Western newspapers against the prophet as well as the "maximum resentment of the Zionists (Jews) ruling these countries against Islam and Muslims."  Yup, and the Holocaust didn't happen.

There are many churches where I live. Few have soup kitchens or any sort of programs for kids or elderly or anything. However, they constantly add on to their locations or build larger, gaudier buildings in which to collect more money.\nIt just seems to me that unless some sort of percentage of the funds collected is going back into the community a church should lose its non-profit status.

Absolutely, just look at some of those frauds out there.  The guy that sells that little piece of green cloth?  Don Stewart is a total fraud.  How about the Bakers, they stole millions!  In Texas there is The Tiltons that are stealing from our more gullible fellow Americans.  My brother's church recently added on a huge indoor basketball court.  It's only used by their school that has all of 20 kids between 1st and 10th grade.

I have a learning disability, have worn glasses since age one and have had epilepsy since age 3. I endured ridicule for myesight from 1st to 12th grade from classmates as well as my sister,father then dealt with the teachers and bosses.\n  I want to see these bigots endure my turmoil for a good ten years because I know that they'd cry "uncle" on day one. They wouldn't take the 6 yrs to learn to type, go to work the day after two grandmals back to back, learn punctuation in college after having a hard time as a kid, so many "F''s after studying all week, being on page 1 after a marking period of band in 7th grade, and  emerging from 12 yrs as a social/academic misfit.

Actually if you have made it this far and dealt with it you are doing great. It is no fun being disabled in any way. This will be kind of long but I am going to tell you a story. I drove a school bus for 11 years and one of my faviorite moments was when we pulled up next to a handycap bus and there was this poor fella in the other one that was physicly and mentally disabled if pressered he would pull out his hair and by that time of life was quite a sight. The kids in the back of the bus was making fun of him and I pulled the bus over and was going to give them a lecture. When one of my kids stood up to the 4 or 5 bullys and just flat told them that they was a automobile accident or diesese away from being on that bus and they better shut up. I was flabergasted, he had said better then I ever could have what was needed to be said. I hope that you can keep up the good fight and keep your head up high cause you are alot better person then any of the kids or people that pick on you.


Could you find me a website about his life?

Dale Earnhardt was married three times.  He was married very young to a woman named Lantane, the mother of Kerry.  Kerry was actually adopted by his mother's second husband before Dale Earnhardt made it big in racing.  His second wife was Brenda, the mother of Kelley and Dale Jr.  And Teresa, who now runs DEI was his third wife and the mother of their daughter Taylor.


It was published about 20 years ago, written, after 10 years' research, by a serious, unprejudiced American, who couldn't help smelling something very phoney-baloney about this dubious piece of history.  His findings more than confirmed his suspicions.  It was a very thick, very serious book.  I've never seen anything so complete on the subject, but of course he couldn't find a publisher : had to sell it himself from the boot of his car : went broke, poor guy.

It is truly sad to see those of this day and age believing that the holocaust didn’t occur.  In the final days of World War II relatives of mine entered some of the camps with the troops.  In our family we still have some photographs of these places.  They did exist!  The Holocaust was real!  \n\nWere the Jews the only ones killed by Hitler?  No.  Did others cause the death of more people, certainly.  Stalin and Mao quickly come to mind.  However, none set up a machine to make death a production line function as did Hitler.   \n\nTo not accept facts when provided and checkable is to walk down the same roads of the past.  Understanding this is not new with our time, but has been an adage down through time.\n\nHistory repeats itself.  – An English proverb found in many cultures and times.  For example, Thucydides, from History, I 410 BCE.\n\nThe aim of history is to assemble real facts and real speeches, to the end that lovers of knowledge may be instructed and persuaded. – Polybius, from Histories, II, 125 BCE.\n\nNot to know what happened before one was born is always to be a child. – Cicero, De oratore, 80 BCE.

how has barack obama made an impact on society as a whole?

He hasn't at this point.  He was elected to the Senate only a few years ago, so there really hasn't been any chances to do much yet.  He is a good public speaker, and ran a positive campaign, so a lot of people like him for it, which I respect.\nHowever, a lot of people point to his being the first black Senator from Illinois.  What they don't mention is that both candidates (Republican and Democrat) were black, so no matter what, it was going to happen.\nSecond, he ran a campaign talking about how the government needs to stop being partisan and work together.  But if you do a search on any major news site, you'll see he has managed to annoy a lot of Republicans with partisan comments, including following Martin Luther King Day.  More recently (as in a day ago), he upset Senator McCain, over lobbying reform, by taking a very hardline Democratic approach.\n\nSo, ask that question again when he is up for re-election is 2010, then you can tell how he handled his first term as US Senator.


I know this question has been asked awhile ago. I wasnt able to comment so here it goes again.\nDo you have a, or some tatoos??\nIf so what?\nWhere?\nDo you want more?


I feel like since I started therapy and going to a psychiatrist (about 6 months ago) I've become much more depressed and anxious.  I want them to make me better not worse!

Actually, you have to look at something else first.\nPeople don't go to a therapist to feel better unless they didn't do their homework on what going to therapy is like. Peopel expect to leave therapy feeling better.\nTherapy is designed to help you see your self-image better.  Here's the problem:\n1) We all have multiple self-images.\n2) Some of them are false.\n3) Some of us are VERY attached to our self-images.\n4) Looking at them makes it hard to keep up false self-images.\n5) People who make us look at them are a threat to our self-images.\n6) Since we rarely differentiate (try to keep seperate) real threats to our safety vs. threats to our self-image we often react with fear, then anger, then attack to challenges to our self-image.\n7) This leaves us stuck with a faulty self-image because we confused reality knocking on our door with an actual threat to our survival.\n\nIf you are resisting therapy, yes, you are angry.  The only way to know for sure is to look deeply at why you are angry, and discuss this with, you guessed it, your therapist.  At the same time, if you don't trust your therapist, in most cases you can choose a new one, but it will only prolong your pain to keep avoiding the real reason, whatever it is, if you are resisting therapy.\nHiding things, including your dissatisfaction, will not help.  Tell them.  If you are a minor, tell your parents everything you can (they are legally and financially responsible for you).\nRemember, if you are angry, that means you're scared of something and seeing a threat.  IF the threat is "just" lack of progress, then change therapists.  If the threat is something else, like getting too close to the truth, you've got a GOOD therapist, and need to face it like an adult.  We never stop growing if we're smart.  I've only known one real fully adult person in my life and I'm 43!  Trust yourself to know when you're squirming away from the truth, and when you're standing still.  Ask your therapist to be more aggressive in finding the problem.  If this causes you to squirm, you know what the problem is.  You don't want them looking too close, so stick with it and look.

Can I use a Titanium Circular Barbell during the healing process (EAR PIERCING)?\n\nI have had my ears pierced in the lobes before and wore circular "barbells" with 4mm beads. They were steel, kind of heavy and caused irritation that led to removal. Now, (a year later) I want to repierce in the same spot, but use Titanium (in the same style) instead due to its non-reactive qualities in the body. I hate studs and would prefer to heal with barbells, but I don't know if this will work or not, because barbells swing a bit and have some minor movement, as opposed to studs which don't move at all, except for cleaning/rotation. Has anyone reading this had personal experience in the matter?? PLEASE HELP!!!

the rotation really shouldn't affect the healing, but be careful that little "crusties" dont get into your piericng. this can lead to infection. as for using titanium during the healing, i would suggest using surgical steel instead, if you don't mind having a silver color instead of other colors. you can also check out http://www.bodyartforms.com/forumsV9/ and ask questions there about it and BME (www.bmezine.com) has lots of information about piercings and the healing process


How can I have muptiple orgasms after I have had one. It seem like everytime my boyfriend goes down and I have a orgasms I get really sentitive down there that I can't really continue so please tell me how I can continue.

Let him bring you there with the tounge and finish you off with the meat. Oral sex is more clitoral stimulation and if someone liked your nipple for 15 mins straaight it would be sore too. \n\nBut the sensitivity is only temporary, so take a moment to decompress and the jump on him girl.


I've had a few ideas over the years to build a ciruit to detect a current on one circuit and then trigger a relay on a second circuit.

I want to study architecture course mainly because I like art. But I don't want to waste my time without knowing the real details of wat an architect really does. Is it a job associated with lots of art and creativity? I'd really like someone who studies this course to help clarify my doubt. But any advixe will aso do. Thanks,.

An architect usually has a precise eye for detail. A background in art is especially helpful, with strengths in thinking as an engineer, a builder, good people-skills and an interior designer. An architect has to be a great listener when he/she is meeting with a client, to truly hear what they are asking for, and even what they're not actually verbalizing. It is a most fitting career for either gender, and there are all sorts of specializations in the field. \n\nIt is a rewarding career that can pay extremely well or get you by comfortably, in some sort of style. (Architects do have, above all else, STYLE.) You can work in a large firm and enjoy the big-city life or work in your pajamas at home. You can go anywhere with architecture...but you do have to enjoy sitting on your bum quite a lot. The hours are long and the deadlines can be stressful - but almost any job includes that.

Got the injury when my leg went thru a plastic lawn chair while standing on it. Its been 5 days and I can't afford to go to doctor.  I can get around on it but when I first stand on it after having it elevated, it takes a minute to get over lot of pain. I've kept it clean and mostly bandaged tho I take the bandage off during the day at home.  Just wondering how the scabbing process looks as it heals or is it getting infected in that one area.

Please don't take advice from amateurs when your health is concerned. Consult your doctor!


I was wondering how would I go about getting a "No contact" order lifted and charges dropped in Washington State. \nOne night my ex and I got into an altercation, I called the cops and they arrested him. This was during the weekend. During that weekend, I moved out of the state. I just want things to be back in order and the charges dropped as well as the order. Anyone have any advise to this sort of thing?

Also don't know Washington law, but agree that the State will often pick up DV charges if the victim recants or withdraws.  \n\nIf you want the charge dropped, you need to speak with the prosecutor, not the courts or anyone else.  It's the prosecutor's office that's doing the prosecution, so they're the ones to talk to if you no longer desire prosecution.\n\nWhere did the no contact order come from?  In California, the judge can issue one from the bench on his own or at the request of the prosecutor.  You might have sought one out as well.  In any event, most likely a judge is the one who actually issued the order, and it takes a judge to rescind it.  If you asked for it, get yourself back on calendar and tell the judge why you don't want it.  If the prosecutor asked for it on your behalf, ask them to ask the judge to rescind it.\n\nGood luck with whatever you do, but I really, REALLY encourage you to leave the no contact order as is.  Up to you what you want to do with the DV criminal charges, but there shouldn't be any harm leaving the no contact order in place if you've moved out of state anyway, right?


I admit I am a sensitive and romantic guy or at least I try to be. My girlfriend has had a hard life and I try to make it better but she is so independent she doesn't want my help. She says I am to sensitive and I apologize to much. What should I do just stop caring about her?

Josh you are not to sensitive you are as perfect as a person can be baby but you just do not credit yourself enough to have a lot of things you want

As much detail as you like! And if you care to tell, the country you are from please

I live in Indiana, U.S.A.\n\nTo me, freedom is being able to step outside of my home and know radical groups and fantasist are not going to blow me up or gun me down. Sure, we have gangs but when you look at the world news, America is the safest place to live.\n\nI thrive in Democracy. I live to vote and I adore our process.\n\nSure, there are rotten apples that spoil things but who cares.....I don't have to hide my face as a woman, worry about getting my privates mutilated, sell myself for a bowl of food, dig in a dumpster for a scrap of clothing. I have the right to own a business, run it with full benifits as a man. I can vote or not vote and not fear getting shot at for either. I can have an abortion or not, depending on what is right for ME. \n\nI can speak about anything I wish to speak about and have no fear of retribution with anything but words.\n\nFreedom is just that. Being free of restraints imposed by others. My only restraints are place by me and me alone.


I want to let everyone know that my daughter was involved in a horrible car accident today. She was 1 cm. away from having a broken neck. She is home with me now, in lots of pain, so I just wanted you guys to keep us in your thoughts. My car is totalled, however, it will be replaced. My insurance will cover it. If I'm not on much today or tomorrow, you'll all know why! Thanks for being so wonderful!

May all work out for you in the end. You and your daughter are in my thoughts.\n\n<As of Feb 7, 2006>\nLife's a tough thing. It takes only a few seconds for disaster to cave in all around you, but to dig your way out takes what seems like an eternity. Anyways, I'm glad to hear that the worst is over, and that both of you are getting well. Please continue these updates on the comments as your situation develops; I want to stay in the know on this.\n\n<As of Feb 8, 2006>\nLook's like you've gotten yourselves out of a tough bind! I'm glad to hear that things are looking up after a grueling ordeal. When someone that you love is hurt, it's tough on the mind, body, and heart, and it gets even worse if you happen to feel it, too. You and your daughter have shown great courage and strength throughout this, and I'm glad that all of us here have been able to help you out in your time of need in one way or another. Try not to overexert yourselves if you're not feeling as well as you were prior to this accident, and I hope that what remains of the road to recovery comes with plenty of shortcuts! ^_^


A virgin is a person who has never had sexual intercourse...


Actually Im trying to secure a name for my band but i hear the process is the same \n\nPLEASE PLEASE \nSomeone Help me with the correct info even if it s just to secure a business name so i can get this thing rolling.\nTHANK YOU :)

You might have to file a ficticious business name with the county.  Then get a business license with the city.  \n\nAnd maybe register it as a trade mark so nobody else can use it.


I just met someone on vacation and he lives in Florida and I live in Mass., how can I look into information he shared about himself?

I love to be in class, but when I get home, I find it impossible to make myself study!! HELP!

if you think you are learning more in the school grounds, try staying in the school library or study hall after class hours, and study there.  maybe there are so many distractions at home, like TV, Computer, Telephone, that make it harder for you to concentrate on studying.  also, try making a fixed study schedule and area at home or your bedroom.  for example, your study table should be clear of any distractions (best to not have a phone near your study table and not have a tv in your room.)  your study schedule should be a fixed schedule so that you can incorporate it in your daily activities, and it would soon become routine.


A. release of histamine from damaged cells \nB. adherence of a macrophage to a microbe \nC. release of interferon from virus-infected cells \nD. opsonization of an antigen by IgG molecules \nE. cytolysis of microbes by complement proteins

D is a specific response.\n\nSpecificity refers to a specific defense that is activated by a specific antigen and the immune response targets that particular antigen and no others.\n\nNonspecific defenses are the same, regardless of the type of invading agent.  They include physical barriers, phagocytic cells, immunological surveillance, interferons, complement proteins, inflammation, and fever.

I as well would like to know How many of China's soldiers died in that war? Whose side was China on? and how were they especifically envolved? Please and thank you!

China got involved in WWII (or before the official WWII dates) when the Japs invaded China. Notice that the Japs killed about 9 million Chinese civilians in total, 90 times the number of Japs that died in the atomic bombings.\n\nThe Japanese today STILL deny that they were the aggressors in WWII and their prime minister still vists the gaves of war criminals today). \n\nSee Casualty rates below:\n\nCountry Pop. China  450m  \nKilled/Mising  1.3 million  \nWounded  1.8 million \nTotal(Military)  3.1 million  \nCivilian (deaths) 9 million


i need two credible sources, i can only have 1 website unless other sites are websites of magazine publications or as long as theyre credible publications. book suggestions would help too. i need information on male behavior from the 20th century (1900-1999) such as what was expected of men during the 20th century. if you could provide good/correct information i would be very greatful.

Go to the public library and ask the reference librarian to help you. He or she will most likely show you how to use research databases, which are online sources of printed papers that count as print sources. Do not, under any circumstances, use anything like an encyclopedia, MSN Encarta, or Wikipedia--if you're beyond middle school, instructors hate it when you do that, so it's best not to get into the habit in the first place.


this web site has a lot of codes on the bible that can show events in history\n\nhttp://exodus2006.com/3code.htm

I think these Bible codes are very interesting and look to be very accurate. It was very good of you to find this. I want to look at this website more often to see other revelations other than the New Orleans/Katrina one which I thought was really neat. Thanks!!!!


Italy's Reform Minister Roberto Calderoli has had T-shirts made emblazoned with cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad.\n\nHe plans to wear them in protest of Muslims ridiculous behavior over the recently printed versions. \n\nI think Muslims acted ridiculously, but I also think this Italian minister is acted just as ridiculous.\n\nWhat do you think?

If muslims, had adopted the manners and attitude prophet Mohammed passed on to the worlds, shame would over-whelm those who mock him. It is really hard for a good person not to love Mohammed, if they knew what he really wanted for mankind. Its a good reminder for Muslims and non-Muslims alike, that its time to do as prophet Mohammed would have done. Seek peace, understanding, harmony and merciful manners between humans, with one God for all.\n\n"By the grace of Allah, you are gentle towards the people; if you had been stern and ill-tempered, they would have dispersed from round about you" (translation of Qur'an 3:159) \nAbout himself the prophet (pbuh) said \n"Allah has sent me as an apostle so that I may demonstrate perfection of character, refinement of manners and loftiness of deportment." (Malik, Mawatta; Ahmed, Musnad; Mishkat)


I find that the best vitamins on the market are Flintstones. Don't laugh. They're by far the easiest on the stomach. They also have everything you really need.


My friend swears by their products.  I contacted the company by email 4 days ago and haven't heard anything back.  How are the products?  How does the compensation plan work?

My mom and grandma both used to sell melaleuca and never made a dime.  They want you to buy so much stuff from them each month that all of the money you make goes straight back to them.  It's stupid.


In the Catholic church ,it means you can go to mass but take any sacraments.


I wanna be able to run a five minute mile...any ideas on how to get up there?

This would be very hard to come down to from an 8:30. Don't ever let anyone squash your dreams. My best was a 5:27 in college and I was just under 7 in grade school. You will need to go into track with an incredible base but not to where you are risking injury or burn out. Once your season has started you need 2-3 speed work out sessions prior to competition starting. A good track work out would be a mile warm up very slow about 10 min pace. 10 400's with an average goal of 1.15 each lap. You should jog a 200 between each with a 400 after 5 laps. Do a mile cool down afterwards. You also need to do work outs of 800's and ladders all the way up to 3200. A coach needs to really monitor any injury risk. Once your meets start the speed work can only be 1-2 times a week or you won't be strong for your race. Good luck.


If you dont know the skills, would you rather practice together at the risk of hurting each other unintentionally?

It doesnt really matter to me. My BF is 18 and he just lost his virginity to me about 5 months ago. I had to teach him everything. But some stuff he just tried on him own not knowing what he was doing and well that works sometimes to.


if any one has it I am looking for new friend e-mail me if you want loko8998@yahoo.com

Thanks for the 2 points freak.  Quit wasting my time.  This is not what this website is all about.  It's actually used for eduaction - maybe some of it is useless facts, but it's not to meet friends and piss people off.  Grow up.

Use proven marketing techniques - create biographical CDs for distribution to collectors, create a website showcasing your works, and help educate your customers about your vision.


in algonquin park in ontario, on every lake if you look across to the other shore the bottom branches of every tree are at the same height.

It is what is called a browse line. It's produced by deer or other large animals. The deer eat any branches that hang down low enough for them to reach and as a result the branches all grow at the same minimum height.


My boys who are expected to be 6 feet tall like their dad, are complaining regularly that their legs hurt. My Mom says they are having growing pains. Is there any real evidence of this?

I have heard my doctor refer to it as Growing pains as well. Sometimes I guess when kids go through a growth spurt their leg joints will ache.


you know when you put in what you want to look up on the search web right below it always pops up what you last looked up how do i clear that off?

You need to clean out your cache and history files, cleaning the cookies would'nt hurt either.


Every other religion has fought wars. And tried to force other cultures to embrace them, but Wicca hasn't. does this make them better or worse.

Wicca/Paganism is one of the most peaceful religions out there.  They accept everyone and could care less about sutff like homosexulity.  It's an ancient religion, dating back far longer than christianity although the modern incarnation of it is still young.  They may not have started or fought wars but PLENTY has been done to them to persecute them.  The witch burnings are just one of them. To this day the fallacy of wiccans being satanists still persists and christianity and alot of other religions still label them as evil.  But unlike other religions wiccans tend to ignore it and go on as they have.


Does anyone know the name of the bar that she sings about in the song?  It's on Santa Monica Blvd in Los Angeles across from a carwash.

It looks like there are dozens of bars and car washes on Santa Monica Blvd. It could be ANY of them!


For me would be God, child, family, dog...

'Thing',  wasn't plural, Dave, lol..lol..it means 'one'.!!!\n So I agree with 'onewhitewhisker',..

You're jealous of me ain't cha', girl..lol..


the answer is theta = arccos(2/3) but how do you get to that answer?

I will use Q for theta here:\ncosQ = 2 - 2cosQ\nNow we add 2 cosQ to both sides to get rid of it on the right.\nSo we get:\n3cosQ = 2\nDividing both sides by 3 gives:\ncosQ = 2/3\nAnd solving for Q, we take the inverse cosine of both sides:\nQ = cos(-1)(2/3)\nHope this is helpful :-)


I am brand new to this, so please support me. My boyfriend and I have been dating for a long time, 3 years in May. I found out the other day that he is lying to me about his age but it's only 1 year. Why would he lie about 1 year. So that means that he has been lying to me for three years. Also he is spending more time with his best friend than me. I just hate that! Just the other day we had plans of going out to celebrate Valentine's Day since he had to work the day of, but instead he did something for his best friend's babies mother. So its like he blew me off to do something for her, we were supposed to be celebrating Valentine's Day for goodness sake! And to top it off he didn't even pick out my Valentine's Gift he had the nerve to let someone else pick out my gift. I need advice. What Should I Do? I forgot to mention that he doesn't even know that I know that he is lying about his age. I don't know how to confront him just yet.....because I don't get mad, I get EVEN

Don't get even, that makes you just like him. The best thing to do is just make sure neither of you is actively mad, sit down, and confront him. Make sure you don't yell at him, just let him know that you know that he's lying to you, tell him you wish he'd spend more time with you, and you wish he'd be a little more considerate. If you still care for him and still want to be with him, let him know that too. If he can't handle a calm confrontation like that, you need think about whether or not he's worth spending more time on, considering he's actively lied to you for three years. Please be careful to be calm when you talk to him, and good luck. Also, remember that even though a little lie like this one might seem insignificant, there might be something under it. Even though it's small, if you want to have an open, good relationship, you need to confront the situation, and not have any secrets between you.

How do we know that the usa is the best country in the world to live in,\nif we have never lived in another country?

I could say it's Mexico, but i haven't lived anyplace else.\nI know we have insecurity, the economy is not very stable, the salaries are low, but if you stay away of Mexico, D.F., you can find a lot of great and beautiful places to have a nice life. \nIf you are asking in order to find out if there are some other options, i can tell you that Monterrey is a modern, vigorous, economically growing citty wich is not as insecure as the D.F.\nAnd there are many little and beautiful citties where you can do little business - not big money - but live a peaceful life, like Queretaro, Guanajuato, San Miguel de Allende, wich are colonial citties; Cd del Carmen, if you like the ocean, Michoacan and Puebla that are sorrounded with wooded landscape. \nSo, i don't know if USA is the best country to live in, i've hardly been at Texas a couple of times, but i love Mexico and i've had a great life till now.


My fiance is a radio personality, very accomplished in his field and highly respected. My boss treats him like a deadbeat,and because he shows concern for my feelings, refers to him as whipped and a loser. As a previous owner of the same type of business, i feel this is not appropriate.My boss on the other hand disregards anyones feeling includeing his wife who is his business partner and deliberately starts fights in the store to discredit her. i will give her credit ...she walk away and ignores him...but this doesn't seem appropriate either. Am i being oversensitive, Am I wrong or right?

The answer is obvious, but there's probably nothing you can do about it, except quit and find another job.


I have been in relationship after relationship doing everything it takes to be a good girlfriend, but for some reason I don't think I am good enough to be with anybody. Is there something wrong with me?

It's good to take time out from relationships to heal your wounds, learn to love yourself, get to know yourself, etc... , the many advantages to being single prepares you to be able to handle a prospective relationship.


I'm asking this in light of Betty Friedan's recent death. She did have some good ideas, but in my opinion she also had some destructive ones.

I consider myself a conservative Christian woman. I am 55 so yes, I was influenced by the women's movement of the 60's and 70's.  \n\nAs I look back, I realize that we were duped. We were taught to believe that being homemakers and raising a family was for losers. We believed that. How stupid were we?\n\nI don't hate men, (I love my husband very much) but in our effort to be liberated it seems we fell right in to a man-made trap.\n\nSure, honey, you should get out there and find yourself. (Bring in an income)\n\nYou don't need to spend all that boring time with these kids.\n(Dads have never understood a Mom's bond with her kids)\n\nYes by all means, burn your bra...and your underpants too for that matter...\n(no explanation needed)\n\nBetty Friedan pushed it, but it would have never taken hold if women had been made to feel (by men) that the traditional role of women was revered and appreciated.  We need to encourage our daughters and sons that the woman's calling is the manager and keeper of the home and then the whole family is better off.\n\nI have a feeling that men are beginning to realize this now and that one day we will see things turn back to how it always should have been.  They will be grateful to have a woman who is willing to perform the daunting task of keeping a home and raising a family. \n\nHooray for those women who did and will do it, and if I could do it all again that's exactly what I would do.


How much remains due from the previous owner of the car after repossession, where the purchaser has voluntarily allowed the car to be repossessed?\nHow much remains due from the previous owner after the car is re-sold to a different purchaser?\nIf the car is re-sold, must the original purchaser continue to make payments?\nIs there a statue of limitations in effect regarding the time between the repossesion of a car and the balance due being paid (with or without a different owner)?

When a car is repossessed it is usually be sold at public auction (unless both parties agree to other) to pay off the loan and costs of the repossession, any monies left over must be returned to the credit debtor(you).


What do the different hand signals given to the scorers by the referees mean? Is there a standard? Is there a website with those standards?


i need help with using these following words in a complete sentence.

He threw the ball.\nIs the ball there?\nIt was their ball.\n\nWhat is the difference between its and it's?\n\nIts is the possessive form of it. It's is a contraction of it is or it has.\n\nExamples: \n\nIt's a common mistake.\nThe boat has a hole in its hull. \nThe confusion arises from the dual function of the 's ending, which can indicate either possession or contraction, as in: Joe's hamburgers are the best (="The hamburgers which are Joe's — that is, in that he makes them — are the best"); Joe's going to have to buy some more patties soon (="Joe is going to have to buy some more patties soon"). However, 's is never used to indicate possession in pronouns. We do not write hi's (instead of his), for example. \n\nHere is a test we can perform to determine whether to use it's or its: Replace it with his and see if the sentence still makes (grammatical) sense. His a common mistake does not make sense. The boat has a hole in his hull does make sense — at least grammatically; of course boats are not boys, but we can pretend that they are for the sake of improving our spelling. The rule we shall apply, then, is this: If the sentence makes sense with his, which does not have an apostrophe, it is safe to replace it with its, which also does not have an apostrophe.


ok.............fist of all confidence, then fix your hair all nice and sexy, wear something sexy, but not slutty keep this in mind "sinple sexy" .................. good luck ;)


If you were given an option to stop working right now but still be provided for, would you?  Why?

No, I would rather not work. All the years I spent working I never got to know myself, my family, and my whole life revoved around it. I always had crap bosses who were addicted to their little bit of power, etc. Im glad Ive retired.

Yes I do.  She is dumb.  She should just fess up.  I don't know why she cares so much how other people live their lives anyway.  They could care less about her.


I think that this qoute goes along with it.  "You will not learn of me through the teachings of another"

Low-temperature melting point\nstronger than titanium when cured (2 times)\nwhere can ı get ıt?

Liquidmetal and Vitreloy are commercial names of an amorphous alloy developed by Liquidmetal Technologies. Due to its non-crystalline structure, the material is harder and more elastic than alloys of titanium or aluminum used in similar applications. The technology has made its way into consumer, military and industrial fields, most visibly in sports equipment such as skis, baseball and softball bats, and racquets.\n\nA range of Zirconium-based alloys have been marketed under this trade name.

I wanted to pay my respects to her memory.  She was an amazing person.  I remember every detail of that day, and though I was a grown woman with children of my own, I still felt orphaned.  Now the memories are sweet, and I use her example when raising my own teenagers, but I will always miss her.  I hope this is normal as it seems it will be how I am until I am no more.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom, but I think your response to honor her memory is awesome. Yes, it's quite normal, even after all the years have gone by. I just lost my Dad last month and I feel that he touched my life like nobody else ever could. I hope to feel that same way forever too. Memories are meant to cherish. Your Mom was lucky to have a devoted daughter like you. I think when we lose a parent it's a gap that no one else can ever fill. And it's important to pass along those memories and traditions to our children.

who else find these people amusing and just plain stupid knowing this game is all about drama and alliances I just think they are all losers

I would love to go on a free vacation and get drunk and party. Then gossip about other people and get rid of the ones you don't like. It would be good to win but if you didn't it'd be fun anyway. I wonder if these people don't have anything else to do. The ones like Coral who on the competions everytime. Don't they have jobs at home or anything.

Operating system was Windows XP and the user account needed a password to log in. Hard drive has not been formatted. Is it still possible to get a back up of the files in the hard drive? If so, how?

No problem!  Create a bootable CD of Knoppix (see sources).  Set your BIOS to boot from CD. Burn the files you need to CD or copy them to a network drive.


I am currently seeing my doctor for a number of things including neuropathy, diabetes and 2 herniated discs in my lower back.  He has told me several times that he can not treat me for long term chronic pain yet has only referred me to a pain specialist who only does injections on my back and doesn't help with the pain for the neuropathy.  I have explained to him numerous times that the injections aren't helping with the leg and feet throbbing pain due to the neuropathy.  He still refuses to refer me to a neurologist and keeps telling me to go to the pain specialist.  What can I do?  Can I actually get into see a neurologist without a referral from my doctor?   Somebody please help.

It depends on your insurance plan.  Most HMOs require referrals, but if you have a PPO or POS plan, you don't need one.  Just check that the specialist you want to see is in your network.\n\nBring with you any imaging films and reports you have, as well as results and reports from other testing that may have been done.  \n\nYou might also want to consult a Physiatrist - they are specialists in rehabilitative medicine.

There is so many FAKE items out there trying to make a buck on the Seahawks name and LOGO. It may be a cheaper price, but would you buy it when it's not the real thing?

Other teams have the same problem... \n\nOh well - IMO these organizations are raking in the bucks whether people buy everything that is authentic or not... why worry your self about this sort of thing...\n\nIt depends on the reason I was buying it.  If i just wanted something cheap for a short lived thrill I don't think I'd care very much.  but If I were buying something because I was a die hard fan and was collecting it... I would want authentic items for investment value.


That was my favorite cartoon. No one I kow shares my fondness for the happy black cat.

How can a religion that teaches us that we are bad ever expect us to be good? Are Our Politicians as Evil as the Religion Teaches and is that the Problem? "No one can be good, No one can keep the Commandments. Which translates "No one can Love and no one can keep from killing thier Neighbor" Iraq and all the Innocent people there is a good Example.

Many people don't see religion as casting all humans as inherently bad.  For some of us, for example, our belief in a higher power incentivizes us to do good even when society would permit us not to.  In my own personal conduct, integrity is the hallmark of everything that I do and say.  I trace that integrity to a belief that at some point in the future I will have to answer for (i.e. justify) my every choice, word, and action.  In other words, even when it appears that no one is observing my conduct, I behave because I believe that Someone is.  It has become fashionable in political circles to mention one's religion, and particularly one's fundamentalism, much in the same vein as one lists other credentials (i.e. education, business experience, and political involvement to date).  I am tremendously skeptical that many if any of our political leaders truly believe the faith they profess.  I am convinced that if more of them anticipated justifying their conduct to a higher power, the world would automatically be better and, for example, the war in Iraq might never have begun under such false pretenses.
