IPE theory holds that economic development that gives rise to a middle class simultaneously erodes the power of extremist political positions. Hence, as Amartya Sen and F.A. Hayek would argue, "development is freedom." \n\nThe economic mover in Afghanistan seems to be opium. If it is more cost-effective in the long-run to spend international aid money on development of legal commodities and industries, rather than on narcotics interdiction, what would be good economic structures to invest in for the purpose of development?

Let the afghani's decide them selves what is good for them\nThe recent riots in Kabul have shown, how much resentment for forigners is in their hearts.\nThey hate invadors, so no policy will be effective unles \nthey are givien a chance to decide them selves.\nnote the british in history tried for years to conqure but failed.


And I'm ignoring the people who say something like "becuz its a stuuupid religeon tom shud shoot himself!!!"

When something is different or "out there," some people just hate it.  But as for Tom Cruise, he's been really offensive and sanctimonious and made comments about Brooke Shields and anti-depressants that was out of line.  Made him look bad, so folks think that's how all Scientologists think, because not a lot is known about the religion. (Other than they believe in aliens as forebears, which smacks -imho - of "heaven's gate," the cult that believed they could get to heaven via haley's comment and killed themselves about 8 or 9 years ago).


I am planning to retire in about 10-12 years and have a windfall from a stock spilt.  What are the advantages and disadvantages from paying down my house loan with the funds from the stock spilt or would it be better to invest the money until retirement to take advantage of writing off interest from my mortgage on my income tax?  Would buying an investment property be a better solution?

Excellent Question!  Most people are faced with this.\n\nLet me explain how I think and you should then be able to decide for your self.\n\nWhen you take a mortgage, the interest paid is tax deductible.  Hence even if you have a 6% Mortgage, your effective interest paid is just 3.7%.  Where else will you get money at such ridiculously low rates?\n\nI have been with a financial planner and he is pitching me post tax 9.2% which is pre-tax 14%.\n\nSo if you don't repay your mortgage and invest it, you will stand to gain atleast 5%.  This implies atleast $5000 more each year for every 100K in Mortgage.\n\nI am myself a realtor, so I understand a bit more in real estate.  The way it works in Real estate is very different.  Say you invest in a financial instrument, you get a return of 9.2% after tax on the 100K.  But if you invest the same 100K in Real Estate, you would be buying a property worth atleast 500K, or 1 Million.  If this property appreciates at just 4%, much higher in places like California / Florida etc.  If you consider that you are buying a 500K property with 20% down, the return on your investment will be 4% X 5 (Leveraging) = 20% per year.  You can manage this investment pretty well using 1031 exchange etc. to be able to defer payment of taxes till retirement.\n\nIf you buy a property with a 10% down at 1 Million, your return will be over a 40%.\n\nYou need to seek a right reward to risk ratio.  If you plan your investments well using a Estate Planner, Financial Planner and a Realtor, you will be able to reap good returns and save money from taxes.\n\nDisclosure:  I am a Realtor in San Jose, California working with Century 21.

because this is my first time being on yahoo

answer A LOT of questions. to get ur stats, click my Q&A


Do you think this is coincidental, or it is symbolic?

No.. they start out as female and when exhausted they turn to male names..\n\nHurricane Andrew..\n\n\nNaming schemes\nFurther information: List of notable tropical cyclones \nThe WMO's Regional Association IV Hurricane Committee selects the names for Atlantic Basin and central and eastern Pacific storms.\n\nIn the Atlantic and Eastern North Pacific regions, feminine and masculine names are assigned alternately in alphabetic order during a given season. The "gender" of the season's first storm also alternates year to year: the first storm of an odd-numbered year gets feminine name, while the first storm of an even-numbered year gets a masculine name. Six lists of names are prepared in advance, and each list is used once every six years. Five letters — "Q," "U," "X," "Y" and "Z" — are omitted in the Atlantic; only "Q" and "U" are omitted in the Eastern Pacific, so the format accommodates 21 or 24 named storms in a hurricane season. Names of storms may be retired by request of affected countries if they have caused extensive damage. The affected countries then decide on a replacement name of the same gender, and if possible, the same ethnicity, as the name being retired.\n\nIf there are more than 21 named storms in an Atlantic season or 24 named storms in an Eastern Pacific season, the rest are named as letters from the Greek alphabet: the twenty-second storm is called "Alpha," the twenty-third "Beta," and so on. This was first necessary during the 2005 season when the list was exhausted. There is no precedent for a storm named with a Greek Letter causing enough damage to justify retirement; how this situation would be handled is unknown.\n\nIn the Central North Pacific region, the name lists are maintained by the Central Pacific Hurricane Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. Four lists of Hawaiian names are selected and used in sequential order without regard to year.\n\nIn the Western North Pacific, name lists are maintained by the WMO Typhoon Committee. Five lists of names are used, with each of the 14 nations on the Typhoon Committee submitting two names to each list. Names are used in the order of the countries' English names, sequentially without regard to year. Since 1981, the numbering system had been the primary system to identify tropical cyclone among Typhoon Committee members and it is still in use. International numbers are assigned by Japan Meteorological Agency on the order that a tropical storm forms while different internal numbers may be assigned by different NMCs. The Typhoon "Songda" in September 2004 was internally called the typhoon number 18 in Japan but typhoon number 19 in China. Internationally, it is recorded as the TY Sonda (0418) with "04" taken from the year.\n\nThe Australian Bureau of Meteorology maintains three lists of names, one for each of the Western, Northern and Eastern Australian regions. There are also Fiji region and Papua New Guinea region names.\n\nThe Seychelles Meteorological Service maintains a list for the Southwest Indian Ocean. There, a new list is used each year.\n\n[edit]\nRenaming of tropical cyclones\nIn most cases, a tropical cyclone retains its name throughout its life. However, a tropical cyclone may be renamed in several occasions.\n\nA tropical storm enters the southwestern Indian Ocean from the east \nIn the southwestern Indian Ocean, Metéo France in Réunion names a tropical storm once it crosses 90°E from the east, even though it has been named. In this case, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) will put two names together with a hyphen. Examples include Cyclone Adeline-Juliet in early 2005 and Cyclone Bertie-Alvin in late 2005. \nA tropical storm crosses from the Atlantic into the Pacific, or vice versa, before 2001 \nIt was the policy of National Hurricane Center (NHC) to rename a tropical storm which crossed from Atlantic into Pacific,


I grew up in Alabama when racial segregation was still legal. I have fought racism all my life. Even gone toe to toe with the KKK.\n\nNow, I live in France and this morning, I passed a park that overnight had, again, become a campground for 400 gypsy trailers. \n\n1) Local taxes are high and they don't pay any. They leave all their trash behind.\n2) They use fire hydrants for their water. Water in France is screamingly expensive. I don't water my grass because it is too expensive. They don't pay for this water either. \n3) They say that their children are schooled by a mobile school room like the book-mobile but in 20 years, I have seen gypsies here every winter and I have seen this famous school-mobile twice. Overnight. \n4) If these people are poor, why to they have satellite dishes on top of their trailers, and these people have no visible means of support.\n\nOK, the thing about this situation is that I am ashamed that it bothers me. Am I a racist?

The Gypsies you are referring to live this way because of societal problems, of which you certainly are not the cause. The Gypsies are treated very badly all over Europe and were one of the racial groups badly persecuted by the Nazis, and to this day are considered non-Europeans. These are cultural differences and enforcement differences that are beyond your control, and beyond my control. Try not to become frustrated by a frustrating situation.\n\nThis is a case where people are being forced into what most people would consider appalling conditions, but because they spend some money on visible luxuries (tv dishes), it is difficult to not believe they either choose this lifestyle or that they are somehow cheating society.\n\nIt is very difficult to see someone who does not seem to be conforming to society's rules and not think harshly of them, after all we are able to conform even though it is difficult, we have made sacrifices to fit in, and we have given up aspects of our parents' or our grandparents' cultures because of it. The main thing, I believe, is to try not to believe the nonconformity is 'because they are Gypsies' or because they are another racial group. This will tend to be the first step on getting to a way of thinking that you will not recognize after you have gotten there.\n\nThe feelings you have about this situation are completely natural, and unfortunately they are feelings used by others to manipulate us into behaving in ways that we should be ashamed of. When situations start to get into areas they should not, make certain your complaints go to the police or other civil authorities whose job it is to deal with these problems; there are certain steps to take that are important, and which they have been trained to accomplish. When we get frustrated and think we know how to handle a situation like this, it is almost certainly a problem waiting to happen (they have to go someplace, but not here).\n\nYou are not a racist. Please, don't allow situations beyond your control to turn you into one.

Why do you have to pay to get something that's free (a grant)?

No. The government is NOT in the business of giving away free money for the sake of giving away money. Grants are free, but it means OBLIGATION. You will be obligated to do as the grant sets out to do. Grants have objectives, and your purpose must fit the objective of the grant.\n\nFor one, you have to write the grant application and the grant application is not a simple document - you have to explain how your purpose for applying for the grant fits well with the objectives set out by the grant.\n\nThere there is a stringent review process through a committee. You will compete with other applicants for the grant money, and this grant review committee will evaluate the merits of each proposal. Only those that they feel exemplifies the objective of the grant will be approved.\n\nYou can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support your purposes.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently.\n\nNote though that these grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments. Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program. Individuals especially for personal purposes are not eligible for federal grants. \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nhttp://www.cfda.gov\nhttp://www.grants.gov\nhttp://gtionline.fdncenter.org\nhttp://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol66/grants.htm\nhttp://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html\n\nP.S.

I would have thought that any qualification woulbe taken into account


Actually, I have a story that might interest you. It concerns my Buffalo Sabres (who else?) and dates back to my freshman year at college. In taking a course in Public Relations I was given the opportunity to do an internship with the PR director of the Buffalo-based company that, ironically, owns the rival Boston Bruins (a Sabres nemesis but not in recent years because the Bruins suck! lol). As part of this program I was invited to meet with the PR director of the Sabres and follow him through a "day in the life" doing his job.\n\nIt was a very cool experience for a lifetime Sabres fan as I got to meet a bunch of players, both former and current, as well as several high-ranking team officials. I had access to parts of the building (this was the old Aud, btw, not the new HSBC Arena) I'd never been in before despite having been there so many times in my life. I watched that night's hockey game (we whipped the visiting Vancouver Canucks) from the press box, which was a real treat. During the course of the evening I also met several officials from other NHL clubs, including the former head coach of the Stanley Cup champion Calgary Flames, Terry Crisp. He was a really nice guy and spent time discussing a whole range of hockey matters with me, which I thought was pretty cool. \n\nAfter the game I went in with the media to conduct player interviews in the team dressing room and then it was off to do the press conference with then head coach (and former player and childhood hero) Rick Dudley. He was his usual quiet but thoughtful self and even waited around to answer this humble student's questions, as well as that of the real media. I was pretty chuffed by that! ;)\n\nAll in all, it was a really great learning experience and, as a Sabres fan, just a whole hell of a lot of fun! That whole PR course and internship was extremely interesting and worthwhile but that day and night hanging out with the Buffalo Sabres organization was my favourite part of all the instruction I undertook. Just a great experience and a memory I'll always cherish. Thanks for asking, Moon! :)


can you put videos onto cds through itunes

No, unfortunately. If you bought them through the iTunes Music Store, you can only view them on your computer. If you bought them elsewhere, just burn the movie files to a CD using Windows Explorer (or the Finder if you're on a Mac).


Plutonium is red-hot as it decays and apparently gives off a lot of heat.  However, I cannot find a temperature.  Is the temperature always a certain level or is it hotter at first, then cooling off as it decays?

Plutonium 238 is the isotope used to fuel spacecraft.  It has a half life of about 88 years meaning that if you have 1 gram of it now, in 88 years you will have 1/2 gram of it.  The heat is used to power a thermocouple and that makes electricity.\n\nThess links are pretty good reading:\n\nhttp://www.epa.gov/radiation/radionuclides/plutonium.htm\n\nhttp://www.lanl.gov/source/orgs/nmt/nmtdo/AQarchive/05spring/heart.html\n\nhttp://www.uic.com.au/nip18.htm\n\nRemember, heat and temperature are too different things.  The environment where the stuff is kept would determine the temperature.  How much of it you have would determine the amount of heat it outputs.  I would surmise that over a period of 88 years, the heat output would be 1/2 of what it originally was.


My wonderful man cannot last more than a few mins. He does use toys and other things to get me off but I want to be close to him. Any suggestion to prolong his love making???

My daughter was working on her computer when she accidently inhaled some dust. Afterwards she had a horrible coughing fit but seemed ok.But I am still concerned about how safe this is.

Dust is dust. It's an irritant. Computer dust is no different from the dust on your great-grandmother's hideous vase in the back of your china cabinent you have to clean every spring. Relax. If she's fine now, then she's okay.


I am so sorry to say that ,  As a chinese girl , I always feel intoleratable when I saw american people eating chinese food .

Many Americans (or Westerners in general, for that matter) have no experience with the 'proper' table manners of other nations.  I was raised in a British family, so I have distinctly European table manners that seem very strange to Americans, who eat with their forks in their right hand.\n\nMany of us have never seen a Chinese family eating with correct table manners, so we have no way to learn.  \n\nThe worst example I've found is during one of my trips to America; a family was using chopsticks for the first time, and had never seen such food or utensils before.  They did not know what to do with large pieces of food, so they did the best they could to force enormous chunks of meat into their mouths, chewing with their mouths wide open.\n\nI was fortunate enough to have a Chinese aunt, who taught me the etiquette of eating with chopsticks, but we have to consider that there are people that do not know anyone that has ever been taught proper manners with them.  Nothing about seeing a pair of chopsticks suggests to a new diner that food should be passed with the thick end of them!  \n\nHow could they know if no one ever taught them?

I'm 19.Didn't attend puberty yet.No hair too.

Usually, if a girl has not started menstruating by 16, it is recommended that they see a doctor. Guys tend to start puberty a bit later, but 19 is late. I would recommend seeing a doctor to rule out hormone deficiencies or other problems.

Some guy asked me if I was one and I didnt know what a quadroon was , I think it could be spelt qadrune maybe , I dunno.

Quadroon describes a person with one quarter African or black ancestry. It is a term derived from the Spanish language word cuarterón, from cuarto, "quarter", from Latin quartus. It commonly refers to a person with 3 European or white grandparents and one African grandparent. This term is considered obsolete and is no longer in general use, as is the term octoroon, which was formerly used in American English to mean "a person whose ancestry is seven-eighths white and one-eighth black".\n\nThis was part of a race classification used primarily in the Southern United States in the 19th century.\n\nQuadroons were considered "colored" and often subject to slavery in the colonial era. Famous quadroons include the French writer Alexandre Dumas, Russian writer Aleksandr Pushkin and American singer Mariah Carey

Explain briefly why creditors are interested in the financial statements of a business\ncreditors\npotiential invstors\nlabour union

Creditors use the information in a financial statement to gage the credit worthiness of a business. A financial statement will tell how much money is coming in, how much money is going out and if the business has any assets. A potential investor would look at the same information. A creditor would want to know if there were potential investors and what their credit worthiness is. Labor unions seldom come in to play when it comes to looking at a financial statement. As a rule, unions are considered to be a liability.


when i open a torrent file, bittorrent works.it creates a video clip-file type but has 0 bytes in it.there is no downloading progress.do i need peers or something where i can get access to the torrent file???

You installed the program correctly it sounds like. You then most likely got a torrent file from some website such as www.mininova.org . You opened or run the torrent file - which of course was picked up by the torrent client you installed. However - to make sure that there will be room for the file when its done - the torrent client creates a temporary file that appears to have zero length but is also seen as having the full size of the finished file by the OS. This prevents you from over-jamming a hard drive. So then there you sit, with a zero length file until you find peers. The tracker you start with either has peers or it doesnt - you should only download tracker files that the site you get them from notes that it has BOTH peers and seeds. Peers are sharing a partial file, and seeders have the whole file to share. I'd say it sounds like you're either behind a firewall and cant download w/o reconfiguring it - OR - you got a torrent tracker file that simply doesnt have any peers. Either is possible, both are likely. That said - please remember to return the favor - when your finished downloading - and let the client continue to share the file to help other users like yourself out. If everyone shares, everyone gets a chance. \n\nI will however - that said - abstain from commenting on the ethics that surround the sharing of pirated software.

In case you haven't figured it out, this is what the government is really worried about.  It has nothing to do with how much they "help" our economy (how are they helping when they send a large part back to their countries of origin, and are drawing wellfare and get free medical care, that we the taxpayers have to pay for??).  It's because the government realizes that those in support of amnesty WILL use violence if they have to.  This is partially why they aren't rounding them up at these rallies.  Our military is overseas and we have an invading army here at home.  Looks to me like we are going to have a civil war on our hands before long.  Oh well, most of us have our own personal arsenal at home anyways, at least down south.

If they are to much of a coward to stand up for themselves in their home country, what makes you think it will be any different here? \n\nBTW, just to set the record straight on a few things, there is no "Native American", the American Indians are of Asian decent, so it seems they are immigrants as well. So the line  of thinking that we are all immigrants is ignorant. This is a land of laws now, it wasn't when the Europeans came here. You CANNOT compare what happened back then to now, it is completely stupid to try and do so. You follow the laws of the land or you are a criminal, so all illegal immigrants, are criminals by definition, if you could not infer from the illegal part in their title.\n\nAs far as the constitution goes, they are not part of this country, they are illegal, and criminals. They have no rights, similar to a prisoner. They forfeit any rights they COULD have when they broke the law coming into this country. Now if they want to come over here legally that is a different discussion.

Well, I know some of you think I am a mean or heart-less.\nBut this neighbor of mine, he has a daughter, I think she has an attitude problem, I total spoiled brat, rude,  everyday this kid is always on tantrum, shouting and screaming and all, as if it is the end of the world. The thing is, this usually happens during the night just right before everyone else is going to sleep.\n(i think the kid doesn't want to go to sleep, because it always happens like around 9pm or so)\nnow, the thing is, should I call the police?\nIt is really disturbing.\nI know I should be more understanding about the kid's situation, but what the!

You should first try to talk to the parents.  If they give you an attitude themselves, then talk to the apartment manager.\nLast resort, the police.\n\nWhen talking to the parents, just let them know that there is a problem.  Don't be threatening.


i met some one online thinkin just to be friends with i was just looking for friends but i guess this person i met i fell in love with and now i dont want to be in a relationship righ at this point because i wanna focus on other things like my job and startin a new life i still love this person and that person still loves me

Is it really possible to fall in love with someone online and that it would be "real love?" How could you know if the person you love is who the person is? It is so easy online to be anyone a person wants to be. And it is very easy for a person to adjust his or her personality to be what he thinks the person on the other computer wants him to be. Sounds like you are dealing with an infatuation, and yes, you need to turn your computer off, and get real. You have absolutely no idea if that person loves you, and if he does you should be very suspicious.


And why does the tax payer have to pay for the new stadiums, a professional athlete make 80 million with 7 yr contract and the average family income is about 70 thousand a yr, but we still pay to keep them employed in there stadiums.\nWhere as doctors have the ability to save a life! Regardless of your ability to pay you will still be treated by a doctor for your illness or injury, but you will not be able to see that ball game in the stadium that you helped pay for  with your tax dollars if you don't have the money to pay for the tickets.

These are two unrelated questions. I will start with the question about athletes.\nFirst of all you need to realize that there is a big difference between most athletes and  “star” athletes. Most athletes go out there day after day and work and train hard and are happy if their income is high enough to allow them to keep training.\nA “star” athlete however earns truckloads of money because he is just that, a star. Hence WE spend more truckloads of money buying tickets, posters, jerseys, and the products that advertise during games on TV. And my personal view is that the athlete SHOULD be getting that money, because it is due to him that we spent it in the first place. We don’t go to the stadium, pay premium prices for third-rate hot dogs and drink beverages with three molecules of actual soda in a bucket of water just so that the CEO of the team can make his yacht payment.\nAnd would you REALLY want a health care professional to charge one million dollars for saving a life? (Don’t forget folks, when it comes to caring for people and saving lives, it is the NURSES on the front lines and in the trenches) I wouldn’t want to be the one to have to set that price tag. I wont even go into the oath that doctors have to give.\n\nAs far as stadiums go, two things. They are paid for by tax payers, but they also generate tax income. I don’t know how much, maybe we are paying more then we spend on them. And even if we are, we are talking about our recreation and fun here. Bread and Games, people. \nSecondly, it is in the power of the voters to determine who is in office and what they do there. Don’t like what they’re doing? Vote them out of office, but voter turnout has always been a weak point in American society. \n\nTo Centurion: One of the reasons we are lagging in the world is because we grossly underpay our teachers, especially in the Junior High to High School levels. If we TRULY care about education, then we should make sure that the teaching staff receives the best possible education and training and meets the highest standard of requirements and then are paid the kind of money that profession truly deserves.


is it true that the word "nryke" means chicken soup in norwegien? i'm doing my research now but cant seem to find can u help me?=) thx

Look it up in a dictionary. In Norway they speak Dutch, German, and some Swedish. I think that is correct. If I am wrong someone please correct me. How many times have you heard a man ask that?lol


I bought Cry Wolf just because Jon Bon Jovi was it in.  I watched it for about 20 mins and couldn't finish it.  Has anyone seen it and if so, should I finish watching it?

I love Cry Wolf.  It definitly keeps you guessing the whole way through. You never know whats really happening and whats not!! You should watch it the whole way through!  I own it and I saw it at the theater!


Do we have have to masturbate over there?

A sperm bank is a repository of human sperm.  If you wished to donate then yes you would have to masturbate there.


this is a logic problem. the most clever answer earns you respect.

Both legs are usually about even, if you take the average of the velocities. The shorter leg has a smaller moment of inertia (I), therefore takes off faster, but as the longer leg goes its velocity tends to increase. If you take the equation of moment of inertia I=MR^2 the longer leg has the larger moment of inertia. If you take the meaning of inertia (the ability of an object to oppose motion) not even knowing physics or the equations to determine the velocities common sense will tell you that eventually they will be the same. If really all just depends of the period of time.


It seems that on many internet pages and programs (Yahoo email, aim, google, etc.) my font is larger than normal. I know that on my desktop this would happen sometimes if I clicked down the mouse scroll button and scrolled up or down. But I'm on a laptop.... How did this happen and how can I fix it??? Thank you so much, your help is greatly appreciated!

Make sure that your text size under the view tab is not set to large.

How do I cloak my IP address?  I know it can be done.


i really like this person so how do i know that he likes me?

Just walk up to him and ask him, "Yo", "I was wonder if you like me because I have a strong attraction towards you and I was wondering if you feel the same way about me?"\nThen you will find out the hard way but at least you'll find out right away.  The only way is to be blunt and that is the only way, got it?


i have been filed for an H1B for employment in ohio, i have a new employer in north carolina, is it possible to transfer the filing from ohio to NC or a new filing in the INS is required?

A new employer will file one all by himself. There is no such thing as transfer, except a less-formal "transfer" word often used when a person already working with an approved-H1 can move to another company with a fresh-H1 so that he doesn't fall under the H1-quota limits. Beyond that there is no "transfer" of an applicant. Every Employer must file one all by themselves. For that matter you can hold multiple H1 visas at the same time. \n\nConsult an immigration attorney for a more professional opinion.


I just read a news report about kids that had this done years ago, and are grown now, get caught easier when they do crimes. Is that a good thing. They are already on government files. They said they feel their parents had them wiretapped.

i watched an episode of extreme makeovers home edition and there was a big thing about fingerprinting kids and having their picture taken every six months incase they go missing.the people in that town thought it was a great idea.if as an adult any kids get caught  doing criminal acts because of it then i'd say they deserve it.


I know it's a strange question, but I was told it smelt like Amonia? Being in the medical field, we do use all our senses with patients. Just curious if anyone knows?

It is yellowish to clear in color and sweet smelling.


Ok now if there truly is an all loving, all powerful, all knowing god and there is suffering in the world then something isn't right here.  Either god doesn't know, doesn't care, can't do anything about it, a combination of the above or most likely isn't real.

you are so wrong !  God is as real as real can be. as far as the other stuff , if man would do as God has said to do , there would not be all the other stuff .  but that's not what man does , man thinks he knows everything and messes things up . and that is why we have all the other stuff . Don't blame God for man's downfall.

The thief on the cross simply said 'Remember me' and Jesus said to him, It is promised that you will be saved. Why did he not have to do any good works. He lived a sinner all his life.

Our salvation is not obtained by our "good works", for "all of our righteousnesses are as filthy rags" before God anyway (Isaiah 64:6). "But to him who does not work [for his salvation] but believes on Him Who justifies the UNGODLY, his faith is counted as righteousness" (Romans 4:5).\n\nWhen Christ took our punishment, God imputed to Him all the sins that we have done--and will continue to do--so that He could impute His righteousness to us, as he had promised in the Old Testament (Jeremiah 23:6, 33:16). This is why the Psalmist would only boast in the righteousness of God (Psalm 71:16).\n\nThe thief acknowledge his standing before the Law of God (guilty) and asked for mercy, like the publican in Luke 18:9-14. Therefore God justified him, and he went to be with Jesus.


I am selling my house, but it is taking too long.  I now am considering renting or leasing my house and do not know what the difference is.

Leasing is long term, and has a contract.  Renting is short term, and sometimes has a contract, and sometimes don't.\nOtherwise there is no real difference

I sleep a lot, I'm a stubborn daughter, I have not taken the ASVAB, I can't do any push ups, and I'm weak at Mathematics and Science. I have nothing impressive to brag about myself but I want to join the military and I think I'l love it. Why is everyone I know who joined the military made preparations before boot camp when boot camp itself should be a preparation towards the real military life? As you can see, I'm really lazy. Now what? Don't discourage me not to join. \n\nFor those who are in the military, can you tell me something, anything that will slap me and alarm me that I need to be serious now.

As a former Marine...the very things you mentioned are the things that would be a deficit, no matter what branch you picked.  Until, and unless, you decide that the way and the type of life your living is in serious need of change, then what would be the point of joining.\nThe military looks for the best, the cream of the crop, in those they choose. And they have the applicants to do this. If this is what you want...become something that they would WANT, not something they would dismiss out of hand.\nBoot camp is a preperation, but you can wash out of it easily, and in part it is to filter out those who cannot cut it in the military.


If so, what products are mostly influenced?\nFrom where do you think advertisements reach you the best... Internet, television, newspapers, flyers, road bills... or any other?\nThanks for your views!

Ads affect my purchases rarely, but at least they promote wide spread name recognition for various products.  I like the continuing story lines, like for Sonic, and of course the gekco.  Remember the "Where's the BEEF" lady? \n\nIn my case, I have looked for and bought the occasional grocery product I've seen and heard about on television.  Coupons from newspapers and flyers were helpful while our family was growing up and I was trying to save money, but eventually I realized that I almost always only used coupons on products we already used and liked.\n\nCome to think of it, it was an ad on Yahoo! while I was looking for one of my groups that tipped me off about Yahoo! Answers.  So that kind of internet advertising works.

Are there any programs or scripts that let you see who exactly is viewing your myspace profile?

the scripts or programs can let hackers into your computer..and they are not allowed on myspace anyway.


I notice that sometimes the cursor gose for a walk when i am not moving the mouse is it because of of an incompatible mouse?

Well.. I have some answers:\n1. If your mouse is quite old, then it will sometimes have some malfunction. Moving itself up and down, left and right. You click it but it won't let you.\n2. Dirty\n3. Ghosts in your mouse! ;)\n4. You didn't feed em with cheese I think. \n\nMy suggestion: Try it with other computers to test if its really your mouse having problems.


the united states dropped two atomic bombs on japan in 1945 may i suggest that we have more to fear from the usa than countries like iran

difficult question, because although i agree with the sentiment that America has them, and has used them.. they have also bore witness to them. they know the nuclear power, have been humbled by it and its power and there are people in the government that wont let it be used to whimsically again.\n\nIran on the other hand, feel oppressed, hard done by even internationally. they are angry and you know what they say in cartoons about deadly weapons being in the wrong hands?!\n\ni just think we have seen in the past (Vietnam) and present - examples of countries that the USA would've used this destructive power against, but haven't. Would Iran be so self controlling when vying for 'respect'? would they use it as a tool of persuasion?\n\nI personally feel alittle uncomfortable that a country that has so many people baying for western blood could posses such a weapon (i mean, isn't it technically our governments that are at war?)\n\nSo even though I'm not happy that America See's its self as the worlds police force (shouldn't that be the UN?), i think it is a case of 'Better the Devil you Know'.


My bro finished at Belgrade university chemical (organic)engineering.Can anyone offer him a job or site where he can find some interesting information.His marks were highly rated.Any chance for working abroad????

I received a BSChE in 1989.  For a recent grad, going through the university is the best bet - many large companies hold on-campus interviews.  Also, professors are a good source for networking with the industry.  It also helps to have had co-operative or intern experience with a company to get your foot in the door.\n\nIt is important to develop a broad network of professionals that you know and can contact for job information within your particular industry.  Ideally, if you can start this at a young age you'll be way ahead of everyone else.\n\nAs far as the internet, most job postings on there are for people with at least some work experience.  The best sites for chemical engineers are:\n\nCareerbuilder.com\nMonster.com\nIndeed.com

Tsunami - aid was sent, are they still asking for someone to pay their rent?\nFlorida - multiple hurricanes a year - are they crying for cash \nCurrent Event - new england flooding, they actaully evacuated when told to do so. \n\nAre any one of these groups filing lawsuits to have their government to continue to take care of them?\n\nsee where im going? is there something wrong with this picture?

My brother lives in Houston, too, and has been complaining about alot of the relocated people from New Orleans not trying to improve their situations on their own by accepting job offers or offers to assist in job placement.  He is not someone who is heartless, either, and he was one of the first people along with his fraternity who gathered food, clothing, and diapers in the immediate aftermath of Katrina.  He tells me of stories of people just panhandling and creating undue ruckus around his community.\nBut, let's be fair.  Some of these people have little or no education and have lived in constant poverty for much of their lives, so there is no quick fix solution for something that has persisted unnoticed by the non-impoverished for so long.  Our country is so interested in fixing every other countries problems, but they neglect to fully realize that our country has needed fixing of the major kind for decades.  Our country is more interested in economic growth than the plight of its own struggling, starving, homeless, jobless, and working poor.  I have a Master's degree, was a teacher, No Child Left Behind came along, and guess what, teachers got displaced, students got lumped together, and even more children are being left behind by a system that sees dollars instead of the human condition.


Did you see the Dateline about the sex predators? I have an awesome question that might make the prosecution crumble. When these guys were chatting with whom were they chatting a 14 year old or a volunteer from Perverted Justice? NO! a volunteer from Perverted Justice who was not a minor. Secondly, who was the decoy waving the pervert into the house? Dateline said clearly it was a 19 year old actress\nnot a minor. Turns out these guys were never soliciting sex from a minor. Only in their heads they thought it was a minor. How can they prosecute them for their thoughts? For example if a store says from 1pm  to 2 pm all our apple juice is free. A thief doesn't know about this freebe and shoplifts a bottle of apple juice, is he a their because he thought he was stealing? If i am right this really is "Perverted Justice" - the justice is Perverted! Also the Rabbi was right when he said he didn't do anything wrong.

I understand your resentment, I mean the operation  unnecessarily entices people, who would otherwise not commit the crime.  HOWEVER, those guys showed up there are not being prosecuted based on thoughts but a definite commission of a crime. Here an attempted sexual abuse of a minor for sure (by most common definition, he or she must make substantial steps to effect a crime, sexual abuse of minor). \n\nInterestingly, some jurisdictions do offer a common law defense of entrapment. That is --- a procedural defense by which a defendant may argue that they should not be held criminally liable for actions which broke the law, because they were induced (or entrapped) by the police to commit said acts.\n\nHowever, for the defense to prevail he must show he was forced into committing a crime otherwise he would not. And that does not appear to be the case in the dateline stories.  Some guys even stripped before walking into the meeting house !0!


Why are the Hmong in the U.S.? How did the Hmong come to live in the U.S.? Why did the U.S. want to spread them evenly across the U.S. when they first started arriving?

The Hmong people lived in Laos, and rebelled against the communists while America fought in Vietnam. Thus, they were allies, of a sort, in that we shared the same enemy. When America pulled out, they agreed to allow many Hmong to emigrate to the U.S.  It was well known at that time that, if they had stayed in Laos, many of them would have been murdered by the communists.  \n\nI'm not aware of any effort to spread them out, but if there was one, I might guess that it would have helped them to assimilate into American culture better.


think of it this way; communications:\nfirst we were only able to communicate by voice, then faster and farther by messanger, then faster and farther by smoke or long range sound, then faster and farther by telegraph, then faster and farther by telephone, then faster and farther by radio and light waves, whats next?  by thought?

Many speculate that the www, the web of communication we use so freely these days, is representative of the etheric web where telepathy takes place.  If you look at it that way we're getting pretty darn close to instantaneous communication.  So, yes, I do believe technology is an expression of the evolution of our consciousness.  Good question btw.

i've lost a bunch of weight and work out a lot. i have began a good eating plan. but i am having a very difficult time getting rid of the belly flab..........

that sure is the most difficult area to lose fat from, for girlz at least. i would suggest doing a certain number of abs exercises before going to bed every night. leg lifts help tone the lower abs, which is probably where the flub is. do as many as you can, for a s long as you can. if u dont see immediate results, dont get discouraged. keep going and it will be well worth the effort-you'll see. also staying hydrated (6-8 glasses of water a day) helps to burn fat. its scientifically proven.


I get bullied a lot and one time when a boy was picking on me i saw a dog get run over and i heard it yelping in pain but b4 some1 could rescue it it got run over again so i started crying in front of every1. Was that a bad move?

Well you saw something bad happen and you cried. There isn't anything wrong with that. If someone is picking on you about it don't worry. They are just dumb!


What is the cheapest city in Japan that i can start my business? How much would i be lookin to spend to live and work there?

There are US base. Many US troops love that place.\nThere are really few chance to find job though.\n\nAsk and find a t following site.\nhttp://www.japan-guide.com/


If the earth was flat.All the ships would fall into...where?

Into the abyss of course........:)\n\n*runs to the blog to go copy her answer from there*\n\nLovely picture by the way, but it has scared me from ever boarding the Mayflower. Thank goodness I'll never have to. I would have looked horrendous in the pilgrim shoes anyway. But enough rambling......let me get to the question.\n\nThe ships would all fall into the abyss. What if....the fall was neverending? What if they just kept falling with no where to land? would the water keep running too? would it lead to another land? Is this where "neverland" is? Or do we fall and fall into a nothingness? Or will we fall and land on the River Styx? \n\nWe know the ocean water has to return other wise the earth would be drained and before long draught would be the next issue after global warming. So my thoughts are crazy but that the water falls and falls and falls until it hits a warp that sucks it back up and into the earth yet again similar to the way a fountain works. A never ending cycle. But if so........what could possibly be at the bottom of the abyss??? One shall never know. *sigh*


I am not that upset, I would like to see Ottawa win.

I agree with both parts of your statement.  I am not upset that the wings are out and hope that Ottawa wins it all.  I predicted, against many vocal opponents on here, that Detroit would get upset and that NY Rangers wouldn't get past the first round.  Nobody believed me.  Detroit had an extremely easy division to play in and I thought they would have trouble winning a more difficult series.  (against any team with a record over .500)


I have a apartment in chicago that I am renting.I have people that have filled out aplications.I want to check on the history of  them paying their bills on time or have they gone to collection agencies.How do I find this information?

The easiest way is to ask them to submit their own credit report that they can access online for free once a year.  Or, you can have them sign a waiver and pay a fee to cover your costs so that you can access it, but it seems like you probably don't have a lawyer and it might be easier the other way.  \n\nHave them start here: https://www.annualcreditreport.com/cra/index.jsp

Should we pray for this poor demented soul or should we call the police and have him arrested...I'm in two minds about it myself, I think he needs our pity and love don't you?

Pray for him, maybe someone could make a charity basket for him with tooth paste ,toothbrush, mouthwash, comb, goodies and a small gift, like a book to give him. Don't make it too obvious, but maybe he will use the stuff and smell better. God loves him as much as he loves you.Put in there something for the dog too, if he is still mean mouthed the pastor may need to talk to him.


It can be a hisory fact but good enogh for a report.

Mae Jemison was born in Decatur, Alabama on October 17, 1956. She was the youngest of three children. The Jemison family moved to Chicago when Mae was only three. It was in Chicago that an uncle introduced her to the world of science. At a very early age, Mae developed interests in anthropology, archaeology, and astronomy that she pursued throughout her childhood. Mae Jemison enrolled at Stanford University at the age of 16 and in 1977 graduated with degrees in both chemical engineering and Afro-American studies. She received a Doctor of Medicine degree from Cornell University in 1981. Dr. Jemison has practiced medicine as a volunteer in a Cambodian refugee camp and as a medical officer with the Peace Corps in West Africa. She was working as a general practitioner in Los Angeles, California when NASA selected her and 14 others for astronaut training. Dr. Jemison completed her training as a mission specialist with NASA in 1988. In September of 1992, as a mission specialist aboard the Shuttle Endeavour, Mae Jemison became the first African-American woman to enter space. In 1993, Dr. Jemison resigned from NASA and founded the Jemison Group, Inc. Among her current projects are several that focus on improving healthcare in Africa. Dr. Jemison is also a professor of environmental studies at Dartmouth College.


ILLEGALS??? REMEMBER,illegals do NOT pay social security!!! The MAJORITY of illegals ,GET PAID CASH!, which means,NO social security is PAID IN to the system!! THe REST of them,use STOLEN,or FORGED documents!!!

The illegals use false and STOLEN social security numbers to pay into social security which messes up social security for the innocent victims. I'm so tired of it being made out like these illegals are doing something noble by stealing people's social security numbers and identities.


Am a 48 devoced women who social life has fallen.....after my devorce i have had a hard time getting back to maken friends..someone help me fine my life again.

That is a hard time for you. Been there, 3 times\n1/ list things you like doing, or are interested in\n2/ look up clubs and groups that do these things, \n3/ if you have at least 1 friend that you can persuade to go to any/all of them, go.\nif not, go yourself, you don't have to stay if uncomfortable, remember, some of the people there possibly went for the same reason you did.\nGive it time, Parents Without Partners are good places for your age group. There are others, look up the net\ngood luck.


i really dont see why ppl dont like emos. i am an emo what is so bad about it we're ppl just like you we just act different and dress a little different but we are still ppl so why do ppl not like emos???????

The image you present has a lot to do with how people judge you.  If you dress in clothes that are outside the norm, people tend to see that as threatening.\n\nConsider again how the boys who murdered all those kids in Columbine were dressed.  They had attitudes, carried themselves poorly, and then got angry when others judged them.  From what I've seen, emos tend to act like everybody rejects them, and so they do.  It's kind of like the way my ex husband kept telling me how everybody saw him as ugly and people got frustrated with it and left.\n\nTry showing a more positive attitude and see how far you get with it.


they have no ass well some of them lol but lets not get in to that...

Asian chicks are hot dude.Check out women from the phillippines.They have round butts & tight bods.I've been talking to one for over 1 1/2 years.She 37 but looks 25 tops.


What would U do if it was UR A*ss DUDE ?

I think maybe he's been there all this time...LOL


event or foriegn policy issue involving more than one country or international actor at any time in the period since the mid-1940's.  Explain the nature of the issue, event or policy, and then seek to offer an explaination as to why the country in question made the choices it did.

American imperialism after World War 2. The US tried to stop Communism everywhere, in an attempt to manipulate everyone into thinking democracy is better than communism. The conflict is the fact that the USSR did not have a communist form of government, but was run by the so-called Communist party.

Please give me some good advice on this situation. I have this friend who bragged about going into stores and stealing things yesterday. He said that most of the time it's minor stuff like candy, chips, juice, crackers, etc. But the other day he said he stole a portable cd player and 2 cds. I think he should put it back before anyone notices because I don't want him to be arrested but I told him I might have to cooperate with the cops if doesn't come clean. What would be the best thing to do in this situation?

It is not right of your friend to put you into this position. If you know about it, and don't 'snitch', then you are committing a crime too! This guy has no business involving you in his law breaking.\n\nTell him you don't want to know about this sort of thing and the next time he tells you, you are going to pass the information on to the authorities.


Since living in China for over four years, I have not used any medicine that is made from chemicals, and my doctor is a practitioner of Chinese Traditional Medicine. I drink Lo Han guo and Guangdong Herbal tea religiously.\n\nSince using the regiments of traditional medicines and teas, I stopped a thirty year smoking habit; there were zero withdrawal symptoms. I have written five 85000 word novels and over three hundred poems. I was the English linguist who edited the English, Latin, and Greek for the Journal of Human Anatomy, an international medical journal. I gave an hour long speech at the Southern Medical University, without notes or prompters. I led several seminars at the First Military Medical University and Southern Medical University. I was tasked to hold the seminars in English, requiring me to know ten fields of medicine. All the students were professors and instructors. The best part, I am dyslexic.

i think that is vary good for you. i think my mom should try it she smoke.


Usually these types of problems would have -4x where you have -4.  Assuming that's the case...\n\nMultiply the top row by 4.  That comes out 4x + 12y = 68\n\nAdd this to the bottom row.  That is 0x + 14y = 84\n\nor just 14y = 84\n\nDivide both sides by 14 and get y = 6\n\nPlug this in to either equation to get x:\nx + 3(6) = 17\nx + 18 = 17\nx = -1\n\nCheck in other equation: -4(-1) + 2(6) = 16\n4 + 12 = 16 check\n\nHope that helps


I would like to transfer video from my mini DV camcorder, but instead of getting one large file, have each clip saved by itself, preferably with the date in the title. Both Pinnacle Studio and Adobe Premiere can separate the clips for use in their own programs, but I can't find a way to easily save them so that all video programs can read them. I have Pinnacle Studio and a trial version of Adobe Premiere Elements, but would be willing to buy something else if it works. Thanks!

TEHRAN, May 17 -- President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Wednesday swept aside the notion of Iran accepting incentives in exchange for halting uranium enrichment, dismissing an offer that European powers had yet to actually extend.\n\n"Do you think you are dealing with a 4-year-old child to whom you can give some walnuts and chocolates and get gold in return?" Ahmadinejad told a cheering crowd in Arak, where Iran is building a heavy-water nuclear facility. A reactor that uses light water, a technology less likely to produce fuel suitable for nuclear weapons, is expected to be the centerpiece of a package three European governments are preparing in hopes of revitalizing negotiations over Iran's nuclear program.

i think we should let them do what they want to do

seems to be mostly older addresses.\nhow and why did it start.\nby not using underscore, time is saved and typing flows smoother.\nit is a really personal irritant to me at times.

As a computer science major, I was taught to use underscores a lot when naming my variables in my various programs, which has caused me to often use underscores in user names, file names, etc.  However, I usually just use underscores when naming files or folders on my computer - my emails don't have underscores.  So maybe many of these users are comp sci majors?


We know that there was damage done at the Pentagon on 9/11. But we never hear of what actually happened there. We know that a plane was crash landed in Pennsylvania and we know that NYC was attacked twice... but what about the plane that reportedly crashed into the Pentagon? Was there a plane? Was there a major loss of life? \n\nHow come we never hear of anything about the pentagon by the media? Why can I not find much information about it?

Thats very simple ,usualy when a big BANG ,a messege is  from your ears(due to the ample stimulus(change) in the surrounding) in a matter of micro the mesege is sent by sensory neuron cell to the Brain but because its to late to respond(like run away)the brain sends back a meesege via motor neurons to the effectors(your eyes)and we respond as a reflex action,you are not the one making the decision it your CNS(central neves system) and you close your eyes to protect yourself from danger like dust or ash or maybe it is just fear!


Ive got 3 disks 1 SATA, 2 IDE, 2 of them are 80 GB, one of the IDE's are 250.  On the 250 GB IDE drive I have Data.  I dont want to lost the data since I am adding an SATA to my computer for the first time.  Will I lose that data if I am doing RAID O striping for performance? Im not doing RAID 1 which is Mirroring for Security.  I already started the process but have not rebooted.  Im scared it will reformat.  What is going to happen..??

Ohh my friend had something like  that. Reformat, everything turned out fine.


I am a 27 year old male and a crossdresser. I am surprised to even find myself doing this.\nI feel stupid to say "I dont know if im gay or not". I have fantasies about men (being a girl and not), and got off to a few guys before. I've never actually had physical contact with another guy. If I find out I'm not, I will be devastated because I will have felt I was faking it all these years. WTF DO I DO? And please, It's not a sin for all the close-minded, just in case you'd like to know. I don't think people would kill themselves because of what they CHOOSE to be. Just makes sense to me. Thank you.

Dude, if you're going to be that explicit, don't be so vague in the title.  That was disgusting for me to read, and I didn't even finish the whole thing.  "Going crazy?" seems like something completely different.  \n\nLook, I'm not trying to trash you though.  Maybe you have vagina-envy.  If it feels natural, you should think about pursuing a sexual relationship with a man, and seeing.  Cross-dressing does not mean you are gay, but it definately doesn't mean that you're not.  You should find out yourself, because no one else can answer this for you and just accept yourself for whatever you are.  There's nothing wrong with being gay, and there's nothing wrong with being not gay.\n\nIf you find that simply fantasizing about being a woman(sorry hard for me to think about) and having men is all you like, and actually don't like being with a man, that's ok, too.  Keep on fantasizing if you like it.  You may find that you are a female trapped in a man's body.  There's no way to tell.  The reason for all the confusion is because you're telling yourself that you need to be a certain way, which is rubbish.  Thinking you need to be a certain way is purely influence and it's not natural.  We are what we are, and the only way to be wrong in what you are is living a lie.  Find the truth, and love it because the truth is beautiful, no matter what the truth is.  The truth will set you free.  This may be a cliche, but it's true.  \n\nKnow this;  Most things you believe to be a necessity, you find later to be unnecessary.  Mentally, be water and take the shape of whatever container you are.  You can do no wrong when you are honest.

Whenever me and my girl have sex i feel like i have to pee......when we stop i get up and pee and get back to it....i just wanted to kno is there something wrong like i have that erctile dyfunction thing or is that normal? i admit i uses to beat off alot bout i havent for 2 months

This is very normal, your sensation to urinate is due to the pressure on your bladder during sex (missionary position causes the most). Even though you urinate prior to sex the altered position(s) causes this sensation to begin.\nI know that if I don't urinate before sex (sometimes breaking for a piddle during) I will not be able to reach orgasm.

a notice i read in a paper but US is supporting Israel 100%!

The US will always support Israel, especially with a fundamentalist president at the helm.  The US will never abandon Israel because it is strategically very important to have a stable ally in the region (at least politically stable). Also, to abandon Israel is to admit that creating Israel was a mistake... the US cannot admit mistakes, because the people of the US are very fragile and need to believe that their government cannot show weakness.

I was wondering...for small budget films, how one can find out how much it cost the studio/whomever to make any movie...

i had an email before 4 years but i cant use it

It depends on who provided your address. If it was an internet service provider, and you cancelled the service, you probably can't get the address back. You need to contact the company that provided your old address.\n\nIt's probably not worth the trouble. Just get a new e-mail address. Yahoo! and Google both offer good free e-mail.

i know it makes a car faster but how does it happen

It doesn't make the car faster; it decreases the frictional force that is slowing the car down.\n\nAn object has to move the air out of it's way for it to pass through.  Buses, for example, have a big, flat front end that sorta traps air in front.  You really want to cut through the air, like a sports car.  Also, the air flowing over the body can create drag.  Hence, a nice smooth surface with little variation is good.  Finally, the back side of a car makes a difference.  Again, the bus will create a low pressure area as air has to fill the space that it leaves.  This is bad.  It's much better to slowly close the space behind the vehicle.

I have applied for a job working for the government (visa's and passports to be exact) and now have to wait to have a security clearance. I dont have any criminal background but I'm worried because since the job i left about a year ago and held for over two years i have had a few jobs that i only kept a few weeks, and in the past two years i have moved around quite a bit... but i am only 22 and this is an entry level position. will this have any effct on me getting the job or is this info only really used to gain security clearance?

they are interested in whether you have gotten in trouble with the law, drunk driving, drugs, and that sort of stuff


just browsing through some of the questions asked in this section and i notice that alot of people who are "christians" answer the asker with a "downgrading" tone. if horoscopes are something they don't believe in then why are they browsing through these questions, this should be something that doesnt interest them? if people wanted a "christian" input this would be filed under religion & spirituality.

Because many of my fellow christians forgot that one of the fine gifts that god gave us was free will. Some people feel the need to control the actions of others to reinforce, measure or justify their spiritual relationships.  Being a "good christian" does not mean making people feel badly or like they are a lesser being. \n\nThey dont realize that people will come to love and worship god on their own accord, making them feel guilty or condesend to them will only push them further away. Besides, astrology was around long before Christianity became an organized religion.\n\nI agree that if someone wanted a Christian sermon, they would have asked for a Christian outlook.


My husband is an Iranian. we only lived together in Iran for almost 4 months since we got married.he started showing his real color when we were in Iran. in fairness also, he was not like that before we're married.he was very strict,he does'nt allow me to have friends,or receive calls from anyone. the worst, when I came back to Japan alone, he used to call me 20 times a day, asking what did I do from the morning till evening, who I talked with on the phone. and whenever he is stressed, he's yelling and screaming. sometimes, Im having 2 minds whether to apply his visa and live with me here,Im very disturbed and pressured over his attitudes.after fighting over the phone, like any other men, he's sweet and gentle.he said the only remedy to his problem is to be with me. is this true or he's just using me?

Your husband's behavior doesn't have anything to do with his nationality. Most Iranian mens are, in fact, very respectful toward their ladies.\nI have to admit that some Persian men do get a bit possessive (for lack of a better word), but what you describe is not at all the norm. \nIf I were you, I'd seek professional help.


an illegal immigrant. i mean that could happend!and by the way all you races people think about whos going to do your fucken jobs!!!!and if u were to fall in love wt an illegal immigrant would u still deport them? yea thats what i thought!!!!!!!!!1

I am the child of an immigrant.  My Mother, who is from Asia, met my Father when she was in the US on a student visa.  They decided to get married and Mom began the process of becoming a legal resident and ultimately a citizen.\n\nIn my life, I have dated an illegal alien.  Had she been the person I wanted to marry, we would have gotten married and found a way to apply for her citizenship.  As someone who is a legal resident of the United States, I would not want to know that my wife was subject to deportation at any time.  What I would not do is carry around a sign in the street saying she has the 'right' to be illegal.\n\nImmigrants have always been a part of this country, and always will be.  But unchecked illegal immigration brings down the standard of living for people in the US.


Yeah I understand it's all that legal crap. I don't wanna here that bull s*it. In most European Country's everything is legal. No drinkin age, Gambling age, most drugs are legal, hookers are legal. In Hong Kong, it's easier to own your own business then here. There are most rich people there also. Look at us, half of the nation is in poverty. It'd not that great of a place to live, plus we are being taken over my illigal immigrants!

To directly answer your question, the U.S. is considered free because most people inside and probably outside of the U.S. are under the impression that Americans have more freedom than anybody else.  This belief is probably not true.  As you point out, Europeans enjoy certain freedoms that Americans do not.  But as someone else pointed out, Americans enjoy other freedoms that Europeans do not.\n\nEvery government is going to impose certain rules, and doing so necessarily infringes some individual freedoms.  The only way to live totally free is to have no government at all, which of course will never happen, at least not in our lifetimes.  The best you can do is decide which freedoms you are willing to sacrifice, and choose a country to call home based on that.\n\nIncidentally, another misconception that most Americans have is that freedom is synonymous with democracy.  This is simply not true.  In a dictatorship, the decision to infringe upon your freedoms is made by one man.  In a democracy, this decision is made by popular vote.  In a republic such as we have, the decision is made by a body of elected officials.  But in all cases, the government does violate your freedoms.  Additionally, any argument that our government is bound by its constitution not to violate certain freedoms is easily refuted by the mere existence of the Patriot Act, hundreds of gun control laws, drug laws, and a plethora of other laws that are clearly unconstitutional.


Cubicals make me so lonely. And without seeing all the people I supposidly work with, I subconciously feel like I'm doing these mundane tasks for nothing. Without seeing my supposed co-workers, I lose that constant reminder we are all working on a project together.

I don't like the little thing in my chair that shocks me when I don't do what the intercom says.  But the treats that come out of that little bottle next to the window when I finish the task before the alarm . . . MMMMMMM.


I am going to be asking out a guy this weekend. I would like him to ask me out but although he approaches me to chat, he doesnt really look at me whilst we talk. Does it sound like he would be happy to go on a date with me if i asked him?

Sometimes, men actually want women to make the first move.  take me for example: i have never really had a whole lot of relationships, but when i got together with my fiance, i made all of the moves, except the first kiss.  I was quite often uncomfortable making the first moves because i was unsure of how she would react.  On the night of our first kiss, i really liked how sweet and sincere the kiss ended up being.  And i know that i would not have made my move that night, because i was far too nervous.  She could see this, and decided to take initiative.  I personally liked it.  It also shows me that the woman knows what she wants, versus "needs" the guy to make decisions all the time.  By the way, it sounds like if he doesn't really look at you, he might be a little nervous around you, and is unsure of how you'd react if he asked you. Go for it!!  I think that most men don't mind if a woman takes initiative, unless that man is insecure about himself and needs to feel "macho" or something by being the decision maker.

A. the offspring will have the same genotype as its parents\nB. it requires gametes\nC. sperm must fertilize an egg in order for a new individual to form\nD. the offspring will be genetically different from its parents

A, they will have the same phenotype, but not necessarily the same phenotype.  If you are basing this question on simpler Mendelian genetics you could have both parents with trait A, resulting from Aa (parent 1) and Aa (parent 2), but the offspring genotype is AA.  They all appear the same, but they aren't on the genetic level.


does the clitoris make you orgasm when its rubbed? what is it used for?

Yes...it really has no other "use" other than to produce pleasurable sensations and orgasms. Technically speaking, it is the female equivalent of the penis (it develops from tissues in the same area, and has a similar structure)... and since we all start out life as heading towards female if there isn't a "Y" chromosome around to say "male", really the penis is just an outsized clitoris that happens to have some plumbing running through it.


i am.  but that's just becuz i thought that they should have won this game.  the hemsky goal was bs. i say it's time for a new goalie.  i blame legace for this crappy series ending.  it never should have been this way.  i think it is time to get some younger rougher scorers in detroit.  the defense made too many turnovers.  i hope this a lesson for the team to not win the president's trophy.  that cursed the team.

I am not disappointed at all.\n\nIn my opinion they deserved it, It's called Karma.


it's a hole in a sponge- \n\n"Osculum is a large opening to the outside, in which the current of water exits after passing through the large cavity (spongocoel) of a sponge."


also, how does the chinese zodiac differ from the " regular" one?

its the year of the ox. \n\nThe Ox of Chinese Astrology is no bull in a china shop. Steadfast and solid, this powerful Sign is a born leader, being quite dependable and possessing an innate ability to achieve great things. Oxen tend to be plodding and methodical; they approach projects in the step-by-step manner that serves them best, and they never lose sight of their goal. They are tireless workers who are detail-oriented and believe in doing things right the first time.\n\nThe world may perceive Oxen as being far too serious or incapable of loosening up. This sturdy sort is less than social by nature and tends to become introverted in a crowd. To make things worse, they can't be bothered with what other people think and prefer to do what makes them feel best. Behind that calm facade, though, lives an Ox who can feel hurt, lonely and unable to connect with others. Friends and family are a great source of comfort to this beast, even if they don't always understand what makes the Ox tick. As a lover, friend, family member or housemate, the Ox makes a wonderfully strong, tender and affectionate companion who is protective and always reliable.\n\nOut in the world, though, Oxen tend to be stubborn, dogmatic, my-way-or-the-highway kind of people who have no concept of when to back down. Oxen don't care to be pushed, especially since they think they're the good guys of the Chinese Zodiac. There is some truth to that theory, since the Ox is smart, trustworthy, caring and honorable. If you need honest, steady and unbiased advice, call on the Ox.\n\nA good lesson for mighty Oxen is to strive to overcome a judgmental nature that keeps them from getting close to others. If they can learn to value their own good qualities, they'll have more room in their hearts to invite others in.\n\nThey differ from zodiac signs as zodiac signs are the star signs, and chinese zodiac signs r determined by the year u were born, while zodiac signs r determined by the date of birth. eg: ur star sign could b a leo, taurus, scorpio, gemini, aries, libra, capricorn, sagittarius, virgo, cancer, aqarius, n pisces but ur chinese zodiac signs could be dog, ox, rabbit, pig, rat, rooster, horse, monkey, dragon, snake, goat, tiger


The last Confederate unit to surrender/strike its colors and declare basically that from where the sun now stands we will fight no more forever......What was the date?

The Army of Northern Virginia was disbanded on April 9, 1865, when General Lee surrendered at Appomattox Court House, Virginia. On April 26, General Joseph E. Johnston surrendered his Army of Tennessee and all Confederate forces in the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida.\n\nOn May 15th, 1865 the last major battle of the Confederate Army was fought near Brownsville, Texas, referred to as the Battle of Palmito Ranch. The remainder of Confederate armies, mostly in the Trans-Mississippi region, surrendered by June 1865. Under the terms of the surrender agreements, Confederate officers and men returned to their homes, "not to be disturbed by United States authority so long as they observe their paroles and the laws in force where they may reside.\n\nStand Watie was the Cherokee commander of a significant pan-tribal, Native American Confederate force that did not surrender until July 23, 1865, over three months after Lee's surrender at Appomattox. Colonel William Holland Thomas commanded the "Thomas North Carolina Highland Legion," a mixed Cherokee and white unit in the eastern theater of the war. Other sources claim some Asian American representation in the Confederate ranks, primarily from the Gulf Coast of Mississippi.

To get wireless internet you first need a normal wired connection (sounds stupid eh?). You will also need a "wireless router" that you can connect the internet to physically and your laptop to wirelessly.

trying to find out about my daughters great grandfather willetto bejamin antonio


Hi, I just bought a colorado avalanche jersey and I want to put my name & my number on it. I want to know can I sew it on, if yes, what material should I use? Will the name patch scratch my jersey??? NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most tailor or alteration shops will do the small numbers for about $3 each, the large numbers for $6 each, and the name for about $4.\n\nIf you want to DIY, then get maroon and blue (if it's an away sweater, then white) heavy nylon thread.  This stuff kinda looks like 12 lbs test and you can find it at Wal-Mart or Joann's.  It'll take a while, but go around everything twice.  If it's something you'll only wear twice a month, then one pass should do the trick.\n\nIf you're all thumbs, then get some fabric glue.  As long as you don't wash it in hot water, it shouldn't come off.\n\nLet's go WI-LD!!\n\nGood Luck
