Not picking a fight, not saying right or wrong.  I want to know what makes you think the bible is accurate.  PLEASE don't respond with "because its the word of God"...I already know you believe that.  I want to know what makes you think its the word of God and not the theories and opinions of men.  INTELLIGENT ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE

The Bible claims to be actual communication from God to humanity. Notice these biblical passages:\n\nAll Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 \n\nAbove all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. 2 Peter 1:20-21 \n\nThe Bible claims to be the very Word of God (verbum Dei), indeed, the very words of God (verba Dei). But this claim often raises a number of objections. \n\nObjection #1: The Bibles we have today are nothing like the biblical books as they were originally written. \nThis is a real concern people have. The question of whether or not the Bible was God’s Word 2,000 years ago is irrelevant if the Bible we read today is substantially different from what was originally written. Until the invention of the printing press around 1450, all literature was hand-copied and scribes could make mistakes in copying. It’s hard to know if errors are present with many ancient works simply because few early hand-written copies exist. But this is not a major concern with the biblical documents: \n\n1. There are at least 24,800 surviving partial or complete manuscripts of New Testament books today. By comparison, the next largest number is for Homer’s Iliad, with only 643 surviving manuscripts. We have only 7 copies of Pliny’s History and only 10 of Caesar’s Gallic Wars―but we don’t hesitate to trust them. \n\n2. Furthermore, the New Testament has unusually early manuscripts compared with other ancient literature. Our earliest copy of Pliny’s History dates to 750 years after Pliny’s death. A lot can happen in 750 years. And the earliest copy of Gallic Wars was copied 1,000 years after Caesar’s death. By contrast, some early New Testament fragments date to within 30 years of their first writing, as with the John Rylands papyrus found in Egypt. There simply wasn’t enough time between the original writing and our earliest manuscripts to allow for much corruption. \n\n3. There are over 84,000 quotations from the New Testament (mainly from sermons) dating to the early centuries of the Church. In fact, even if we didn’t have a single manuscript of the Bible today, we could reconstruct all but 11 verses of the entire New Testament from material within 150 to 200 years from the time of Christ. \n\n4. Similarly, with the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in the 1950s, we now have copies of the entire Old Testament from before the time of Christ―complete copies of every book except Esther.\n\nModern translations of the Bible (New International Version, New American Standard Bible, etc.) are translated directly from these earliest biblical manuscripts. \n\nObjection #2: The Bible is just a book of fairy-tales. Its account is not historically reliable. \nWhile there are letters and songs and laws and doctrinal teachings in the Bible, the most common genre within the Scripture is history. Observers point out that the Bible is an historical document in that it consistently gives accurate information on the geography, chronology, people, places, customs, nations and events recorded within it.\n\nThe Bible is therefore unusual compared to other human religious literature. The Book of Mormon, even though relatively recent, nevertheless reads like a cheap nineteenth century American gothic novel. It describes an entire pre-Columbian civilization which shows no signs of ever having existed. There simply never was a highly advanced Jewish civilization in ancient New York. There is today, but not before Columbus. Or compare the Bible with the Hindu Vedas, which explain that the moon is 150,000 miles higher than the sun and shines with its own light (like a big GE light bulb), adding that the eart


there is a Spinner divided into even 4 (circle divided into 4) each part is labeled 1,2,3,4 which of the following pairs of events are mutually exclusive?\n\n(picture with the problem)\nhttp://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d136/N4rumi/math1.jpg\n\n\nP(2),P(even number)\nP(3),P(prime number)\nP(even number),p(odd number)\nP(4),P(number greater than 2)\nP(1),P(number less than3)

Mutually exclusive means they can't both happen.\ncase 1, 2 is also even, not that one\ncase 2, 3 is also prime, not that one\ncase 3, an even number can't also be odd, that's the one\ncase 4, 4 is also >2, not that one\ncase 5, 1 is also <3, not that one


I've been watching HBO's new show "Big Love," and am interested in finding out information about the Mormon splinter movements such as the one depicted in the show.\n\nI've researched this using google and have been having trouble finding any websites from the polygamous splinter groups themselves ... I'm most interested in what they themselves have to say about their beliefs rather than what others say about them.  (Don't worry, I'm not going to become a polygamist -- I'm just interested in religions)\n\nSo if anyone either knows of one of their websites -- I have learned there are quite a few splinter groups -- or if anyone has any first hand experience with the Mormon splinter groups (such as having met them or is a member of one of these churches) I'd be fascinated to hear what you have to say!

:}\nHere is an article I found in my sword project bible software\nMormon Polygamy in fundamental splinter \nThe early Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the United States practiced polygamy and referred to it as "Plural Marriage". It was publicly taught by the Church in 1852, and quickly led to persecution of the Latter-day Saints and the enacting of laws against its practice (the United States Congress made the practice illegal in U.S. Territories in 1862). Although Latter-day Saints believed that their religiously-based practice of plural marriage was protected by the United States Constitution, opponents used it to delay Utah statehood until 1896. Increasingly harsh anti polygamy legislation stripped Latter-day Saints of their rights as citizens, dis incorporated the Church, and permitted the seizure of Church property before the Church ordered the discontinuance of the practice in 1890.\nNational attention in the United States again focused on potential polygamy among the LDS in Thee early 20th century during the House hearings on Representative-elect B. H. Roberts and Senate hearings on Senator-elect Reed Smoot (the Smoot Hearings), which caused the Church President Joseph F. Smith to issue his "Second Manifesto" against polygamy in 1904. Since that time, it has been Church policy to excommunicate any member either practicing or openly advocating the practice of polygamy.\nThe ban on polygamy resulted in a schism within the Church, with various splinter groups leaving the Church in order to be able to continue the practice of polygamy. Polygamy among these groups persists today in Utah and neighboring states, as well as among isolated individuals with no organized church affiliation. Polygamists of this kind are sometimes called "Mormon fundamentalists", despite their lack of affiliation with the mainstream LDS Church. This contemporary polygamy is estimated to be practiced by about 30,000 people. Most of the polygamy is believed to be retracted to about a dozen extended clans.\nThe practice of informal polygamy among these groups presents itself with interesting legal issues. It has been considered difficult to prosecute polygamists partly because they are not formally married under Utah law. Without evidence that suspected offenders have multiple, formal or common-law marriages, these groups are merely subject to the laws against adultery or unlawful cohabitation. These laws are not commonly enforced because they also criminalize other behavior that is otherwise socially sanctioned.\n\nMost of the information i could find focused on polygamous splinter groups\nhttp://www.sltrib.com/polygamy/ci_3673667\nhttp://www.childbrides.org/history.html\nhttp://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4629743\nhttp://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1151600


It's my first time moving out...my aunt and her family live in the apartments in front of mine....is it bad to live so close to them? I mean they aren't nosy people..

not bad at all, it may even be good for you to have them close since it's your first time out on your own.


I hear all these labels, gay, bi, straight etc.\nAre these labels creating false roles for us to conform to.\nMe I am a people person.\nI believe in love, I think it transcends gender yet we fight it if it does not conform to the labels we place upon ourselves.\nwhat do you think, how do you feel?

I agree with you to an extent. I think as a society there is too much emphasis on labeling and marginalizing people. Everyone's different though. I'm sure plenty of people are specifically attracted to one gender and not the other, while some people could potentially be attracted to/fall in love with someone of the same or opposite sex. I think people should accept love wherever and however they find it.


I am currently a marketing manager trying to figure out the next step in my career.  I have had a lot of experience in marketing communications type activities: creating collateral, press releases, managing trade shows, and promotions.  I am wondering what experience I may lack on the quantitative side: managing P&L, managing product lifecycle, product mix, etc.  If I am more interested in the creative side of marketing, should I stay in MarCom?  Or do Brand Managers deal with both?  Is there less growth potential in MarCom - job ads make it seem like an entry level profession making only around $35K.

I am also a marketing student and from what I have gathered a brand manager is pretty similar to a product manager. They are in charge of essentially all marketing aspects of a specific product. The marketing manager seems to have broader job responsibilities such as management of marketing specialists and research analysts to accomplish general marketing objectives set by upper management like the Vice President of Marketing. It seems that product managers are generally required to have MBA degrees. Does your school have an alumni program? If so it can probably hook you up with willing professionals in your field who can answer your questions and provide you guidance in your career. I would suggest to follow your passion! You will excell if you pursue what you are really interested in and it will be much easier to break the bank!


Ya I need someone to show me how to get more fiends on myspace i need to meet new ppl HELP! Lol

go add everyone!!\ngo search and find what u want!!


I don't want a drunk,liar,or a cheater!I have a 4 year old daughter to consider in scenario too.

Lol a good female well there are so many places you could meet a nice girl. Are you a student in college? Ask friends! Stay away from bars as much as possible although you might get lucky and find someone in there who is not a big time partying girls gone wild fling! There is a difference between what kind of women you want to bring home when you have a little girl because she needs you as her role model so you will have to be very careful about bringing home skanks ya know! Lol well good luck.


I feel that every time we kiss and touch ourselves, I am not doing my work... I feel so good that moment with him, but I feel that I don´t do much, I want him to say "Dear god!"

u feel this because u don't love him or their's no feeling for u in him


I agree with the above post in that if any research is being done, then it's still in the works, so it hasn't been announced yet. And genetically altering things, especially something as complicated as poultry, is a lot harder than most people seem to think. I would seriously doubt that anyone is working on genetically altering an entire species just to raise resistance to this strain of avian influenza. Any mutation in the flu and the genetic alterations would probably end up useless.


what should we ask you?.Can we come up to you on the (street,bars, clubs, mall,?

well you just kinda, walk up to her, comment on her. comment something such as you look so beautiful or such, girls love to be complemented. Just start carrying on a convresation that you would think she would be comfertable with, but don't act like someone you aren't trust me girls can tell if you are not acting like yourself even if we dont know you, but the main this, just be yourself, and start off with hi how you doing, once you think she is comfertable with you, ask if you all can meet again, or just ask her for her cell or such. but i hope this has helped you!


Secrets of numerals are my favorites subject.

I've been 'approved in principle ' for a current bank account.  what does this actually mean?

I think it means that if everything checks out ok they will let you open a bank account.

My ex, who claimed bankrupcy 3 years ago, is now carting aroud his new visa! He had maxed out 6 cards at that point and was in debt about 30K. Tell me how he got another card??? Funny thing is that when I applied to get a card, I was declined even though I made more than him. I'm quite certain if I was a man earning the same salary, I'd have several cards by now.

They are always pressing that no one wants to wash dishes, pick fruit, clean hotel rooms.  Well, I bet if we didn't have people subsidized by the government who were forced to get jobs, we would have plenty of people to fill the positions that the protest supporters say no one else wants to do.  I believe the real culprit is corporate america trying to weasel it's way out of paying legal americans a living wage.

We only "need" illegal immigrants if we "need" to maintain a peasant class in the United States. I would strenuously argue that we don't - even if it means that a few amoral capitalists will be driven out of business and we have to pay a few cents more for our strawberries. and if you make them legal they will demand more and you will still pay more for those strawberries, \n\nYou need look no further than California as an example of the first Third World State of America. \n\nCall your representatives

i want to set up a small independant cinema in a new arts centre, i need to know who to get distibution rights from. if anyone works in an indie cinema they could really help me!!!

I don't know where you are in the world but if you are in England I'd say contact the Independent Cinema Office (ICO).\nI've given you a link for their website. Even if you are not in the UK there's information on there about programming cinema that I should imagine would be very useful.\n\nAs for distribution companies, you will probably have to pay a fee to a company that liaises between programmers and distributors. Basically you tell the company which films you want and they arrange dates, delivery and negotiate a minimum fee and percentage of takings. Distribution companies will not take you seriously if you approach them directly.\n\n\nGood luck


does everyone want to live in a debt. destoryed nation?

Because GWB believed the incorrect intelligence reports from the CIA that Iran had Weapons of Mass Destruction.\n\nSaddam was just being the proud jackass that he is and was. As even GWB now admits, there were no WMD's.\n\nGWB took his eye off the real target..Al Queda. Saddam had no links to Osama, in fact he hated him.\n\nNow Al Queda are operating the insurgents in Iraq.\n\nSo now you are spending billions in Iraq, can't find Osama, then turn around and stomp on the poor Mexicans who are doing the work that no fat lazy US youth would ever think about doing.\n\nUnfortunately the true US patriots are the victims.\n\nSave your young peoples lives, to be used to defend your nation.


Me and my boyfriend are good togather he is everything I want in a man but his penis is extremly small. We tried having sex before and it would not even reach the vagina I am so discouraged I really do like him and care for him I want to be with him but I dont think I will get the satisfaction in the future. I actually think I will end up cheating on him if I stay with him. I dont know what to do. I really dont know how to tell him that is penis is to small for me. Somebody Please HELP!!!!!!

OK, now this really doesn't make a lot of sense to me unless he is either like 1 inch small or his penis is not even erect. Are you sure he is fully erect? \n\nHave you tried sitting on top and that way, even half an inch will go in. I know, not much, but it "would" be inside you.\n\nIf you love this guy, there are other ways to have pleasure if he is different in that way.  What if you met Adonis and he had a huge penis, and 1 year later he is in an accident and paralyzed?  Would you leave this Adonis you love so much?\n\nPlease, please, do NOT tell this guy the reason for breaking up is his penis size. Just please, do not be so cruel.  By your question I don't sense you want to tell him, and it would be very, very wrong.\n\nI feel for you because lovemaking "is" important, even though many will scream it isn't everything.......true, but it is a LOT that bonds two people.\n\nBy all means end it if it is not for you, but let the reason remain your secret. I truly wish you all the best.


There is this guy that i dated last yr. and now we are not dating cause @ the time i wasnt ready to be serious and we still talk hang out we even go on vaction together. So what i want to know do u all think that im to late to be with him and make things right this time. Please tell me what ya all think thanks!!!

Maybe you can bring it up somehow, like remember when...? and then let him know you are interested again, if he is.  Sometimes it's hard to return to that relationship, as he may have gotten used to you as a friend.  I remember a guy I dated broke up with me because I wasn't serious enough and then he wanted me back later, but I had lost interest.  Be prepared for something like that, but open the door anyway.  You don't really have anything to lose but a little pride.  Good luck!

Which is more valuable when it comes to a Merger?

The question is a bit more complex than one might think.  There are quite a number of factors to consider here.  \n\nTo begin, a portfolio of options presents its own unique set of risks that the investor would need to understand very thoroughly.  Primary sources of exposure include volatility, time and changes in the underlying asset prices. The level of exposure to each of these sources is continuously in a state of flux, so the investor has to have a meaningful degree of efficiency in holding options as investments.  In this day and age, a great deal of knowledge can be acquired on the web: www.chartbender.com is a great source for options knowledge.\n\nWith stock, on the other hand, your primary exposure is to changes in the prices of the equities themselves, with modest exposure to time in terms of interest expenses (e.g., the money tied up in the stock investments is not earning the risk-free rate of interest).\n\nSo, while a portfolio of options may give you more risk control, if you don't yet have the skills to exercise that control, then it could end up proving to be a less valuable scenario.  Conversely, with a little knowledge, bringing options into your portfolio can produce incredibly meaningful benefits.\n\nAs for using an index option to hedge a portfolio of equities, this can be viable.  However, you would want to be confident that a) the value of your portfolio was sufficiently correlated to the index whose option you are using for the hedge, and that b) this correlation would remain largely in tact should the portfolio move sharply against you causing the hedge to be needed. \n\nHope this has been helpful.\n\nCraig


Where nobody's opinion matters(except when it 'validates' our own)\n\nAs a nation, we really have lost it with no ability to actually listen to someone whom we don't agree with.

I completely agree.\n\nFirst of all, do parents sit down and actually talk with their children?  When their child has a different opinion from their own, do they discuss it?  \n\nWhen I was kid and had an issue with someone (or something) my parents would ask me why I felt the way I did, what were the motivating factors behind my feelings?  They then would challenge me to put myself in the other persons shoes, to come up with possible reasons why the other person would act the way they do.  I learned very young that it takes all kinds of opinions, and that every one of those opinions is absolutely, 100% correct, at least for that person.\n\nPeople just don't listen anymore.  They aren't willing to take a step back and entertain the idea that they may actually be wrong...or at the very least, that there are other ways to view things.\n\nI, for one, am a talker....I talk to my kids.  They know they are free to feel the way they do but they must learn to give others that same courtesy, respectfully.

I always see that girl are always running and wooing me but i dont know why and wat 2 do.

Play it safe. If girls keep doing that to you, why not ask a few of them what they're up to? That will either get them to blurt out the truth right then and there, or turn around in alarm and walk right away...probably never planning to bother you again. Depending on the girls, these ladies may either be after some guy to throw themselves on, or you might just be really popular. You just need to know how to deal with it...and maybe keep your eyes open for the one girl that might look like she is truly interested in you and not just going all flirty and crazy. Do you already have a girlfriend? If you do, tell the girls! They're bound to back-off if they realize you're already taken. You may get tired of saying this after a while, but if you say it for long enough, you might just start to notice that the swarm of girls has decreased to just a few random, hopeful wanderers. \n\nTruthfully, in all other respects I would just say run for the hills whenever they're coming toward you, and hide yourself whenver they're chasing you...but I'm betting you think that probably wouldn't work just as much I do. You have to deal with them. Stand up and ask them what they're doing, or tell them straight out that you're not interested. Or maybe you are? It all depends on what you want, and what they're really after. Think it over, and watch them carefully. Maybe you'll be able to pick up on why they're chasing you just from getting to know some of them a little bit better...\n\nI wish you luck. <:)


The Bible says in John 10:10 \nThe thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. \n\nIt seems that these Muslim extremists are only seeking to kill and destroy.

interesting idea, but no.  They're not worshipping satan, but they are serving him unwittingly by doing all these bad things...


For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, and it seems for nearly every maxim, there is an equal and opposing maxim to cancel it out. For example, "Haste makes waste" and "He who hesitates is lost" ... Or "Divide and conquer" and "A house divided against itself will perish"\n\nCan you think of any others?

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder" and "Out of sight, out of mind."


The alleged victim was told she, her mother and the accused would be put in jail if she didnt say she had sex with the accused and the accused was told he was going to jail for 8 years for rape if he didnt say he had sex with the alleged victim. The mother of the victim was told she would go to jail for 20 years. The accused was arrested for statutory rape. One week later the accused and the alleged victims mother was arrested for filing a false report.

This doesn't make much sense. The short answer is that police get away with a lot of things that are not legal.\n\nIf you're saying they forced the alleged perpetrator and the alleged victim into making and accepting a charge of statutory rape, and then charged them with making a false report, what was the point?\n\nThis is why all interrogations should be recorded, preferably videotaped. One of the lawyers should be be able to get this tossed out.


like the things that get you pumped between quarters before they go on commerical breaks. if you can help me you're the bomb

The easiest might be to buy one of the hundreds of compilations (such as ESPN's Jock Jams).  They seemed to get pretty popular about 5 years ago and every company released a different set of songs.  You can probably get one in the discount rack for $5 or less.


It could be a planet or a satellite or some other celestial body. Venus is particularly bright.


maybe at the sorbonne in france where she conducted her research


I read about this in a magazine, that basically people these days achieve so much so young that by their mid-twenties or thirty they start questioning their life and wondering if there's more to it. Is this a real thing or a media creation?

I'm 25, already have a baby, I work full time in an international chinese company in Mexico...I'm just so busy all the time. I'm actually wondering if it's gonna be like this for the rest of my life. I wish I could just quit my job to spend more time with my baby before he grows up and doesn't need me anymore. See...I think this is a crisis.


Islamic terrorism was no big threat until OPEC started price-gouging in 1973.  Oil money was used for financing schools that brainwashed their students to murder for Allah.  Oil money bought the terrorists' weapons and even rewarded the families of suicide bombers.\n\nThe American oil companies, who own our government, created OPEC in order to charge the same looting prices while blaming the Arabs.  Big Oil is Al Qaida's rich uncle.  \n\nExxon is treason.  Boycott its stations; criminals only respond to force.

Yes I agree in the sense that the US needs to get off its dependence of oil. Since most of the oil comes from the middle east it may not be wise to give money (or trade) with the region that probbaly has the most hostile attiude toward us.

Who are the best players & are there any rules?  Are there any good sites for learning about nascar & racing?  Esp. Mark Martin - Know anything about him?

NASCAR, the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, is the regulatory body of a number racing series; the three most popular tending to be Cup, Grand National, and Truck Series.\nEach Series (or division) has its own set of rules and regulations, including limits on vehicle and engine design. The common characteristics between series are the track design (usually an oval or "tri-oval" with a straight stretch of road where cars may "pit" for repairs, tires, and fuel), and colored flags displayed during the race: Green signified full speed racing, Yellow indicates a "Caution" period where no racing is allowed, Red a full stoppage, Black a penalty, White the final lap, and Checkered the end of the race.\nHowever, when most people talk about NASCAR, they are referring to the Cup Series, currently called NASCAR Nextel Cup (after the primary sponsor). Nextel Cup runs a 26 race regular season (plus an additional four races: the Budweiser Shootout, two Gatorade Duels, and the NASCAR Nextel All Star Challenge)that runs from February through September, during which drivers compete for points. Points are awarded for finishing position during the race, for leading a lap, and for leading the most laps during a race. Total points on the year determine your standing, and the Top 10 drivers (along with any drivers within 400 points of the leader) after the last regular-season race enter the 10-race Chase for the Nextel Cup. The leader's point total is reset to 5,050; and each following Chase driver is given 5 fewer points (5045, 5040, etc). \nAs of Race 8, drivers qualifying for the Chase are Matt Kenseth (driving the number 17 DeWalt Ford), Jimmie Johnson (48 Lowe's Chevy), Kasey Kahne (9 Dodge Dealers Dodge), Mark Martin (6 AAA Ford), Tony Stewart (20 Home Depot Chevy), Jeff Gordon (24 DuPont/Pepsi Chevy), Dale Earnhardt Jr. (8 Budweiser Chevy), Kevin Harvick (29 Reese's Chevy), Kyle Busch (5 Kellogg's Chevy), Casey Mears (42 Texaco/Havoline Dodge), Dale Jarrett (88 UPS Ford), Clint Bowyer (07 Jack Daniels Chevy), Jeff Burton (31 Cingular Wireless Chevy), Elliott Sadler (38 M&Ms Ford), Martin Truex Jr. (1 Bass Pro Shops/Tracker Chevy), and Carl Edwards (99 Office Depot Ford). There are four additional drivers within 10 points of the Chase.\nThe Grand National or Busch Series is often thought of as the "minor leagues", and is promoted as a showcase for up and coming talent. The Craftsman Truck Series offers a unique racing experience.\nAs for Mark Martin, he's driven the Roush Racing #6 car with a variety of primary sponsors since 1988, but he's been driving Cup series since 1981. He currently drives the number 6 for Roush in all three major series (sponsored by AAA in Nextel, Ameriquest in Busch and Scott's Miracle-Gro in Crafstman Truck). Martin has never won the Cup champsionship, but has finished outside of the top ten in points only twice since 1988.


the guy that i like he is always smiling at me when we talk and my friend told him that i like him but she was just playing and he told me that i was too young for him but i really like him! my friend told me that he told her that i was really cute.

how old r u? obviously if your too young to know if he likes you, maybe you should leave it in your pants!!!


well, i'm kinda curious to know cuz it seems that few ppl in the U.S know this amazing band

well, they are one of the best bands ever... great music, great lyrics and an outstanding live performances. i adore them and respect all the work they did. they are dutch you know and their English communication skills are lame except the vocal so....!


There are so many problems in my marriage of 10 yrs and I am sick of staying angry. First of all, he has betrayed my trust with porn and lying and hiding it from me, we don't have sex and if we should (about 1 x month) it sucks, he won't even finish and now he has gained weight and gotten lazy, he doesn't seem to care about anything! Also, he is bipolar and vents his irrational frustrations to everyone including our children and always says he is dying (10 yrs he's been dying now) and I'm tired of hearing it, he is on medication and says it works for him. We are Christians and don't believe in divorce, but I am so miserable, there is NO love only care because he is the father of our children and I've been staying out of convenience but lately we've been talking about separating and I wrote him a letter about all the reasons I feel it isn't working and all he said was "when are you leaving" he says he doesn't want me to leave and he loves me but doesn't show it, I'm confused.

You sound stressed - you need a break and you should take one. Some therapy may help - having someone to talk to is always nice- does your church provide any type of support in times like these?\nGet yourself a place and renew your relationship with the Lord - tell Him all that is troubling you and allow Him to guide you through these hard times - just rest in His comfort and rely on God to renew your mind and body. Pray for your spouse thats really all you can do at this point - he has to be willing to get help. Take care of your children and provide them with  loving support and stableness that young ones need. Don't seek divorce just yet - see what the Lord directs you to do...


am gonna write my entrance xam in a few weeks. am interestd in medicine but bcoz of the fee structure am thinking of biotech. am really confused. please help. am really good at studies n manage to get a 90%.

Well, if you're interested in medicine, i would strongly encourage you to try it. Results shouldnt be a problem judging by what you said. If you worry about the cost, why don't you apply for a scholarship? \nBiotech is a good option too. It basically involves the bio in actual research. As suggested by the word technology, this is science for a practical use eg to create vaccines,new medicine etc. Its a great option because of its importance to the world now, and the rarity of such students. Which means to sae, you would find job opportunities aplenty. However, to be successful in biotech, you would have to have the patience and perserverance in doing research because research involves lots of tedious and sometimes repeatative processes!


If you have say a dell with an integrated video card, how do higher end video games play, like Star Wars Galaxy or World of Warcraft?

It depends on the chip used for the integrated graphics, but most on-board video cards would have a tough time with WoW or Galaxies.  Depending on if you have an AGP port of PCI-Express port on your motherboard, there are a number of budget cards that would allow you to play those games at a decent speed and frame rate without killing your wallet.  I run an old AGP Radeon 9600 and it is able to play WoW perfectly well.


My husband collects mini liquor bottles and decanters. I have come across bourbon decanters with the states of wyoming and oregon spelled out. Wyoming is shaped like a buffalo and oregon looks like a beaver or muskrat.The bidding starts at 25.00 and I would like to find there true value.

Well if you know how old they are they maybe worth more then what you pay for them. My advice is you need to look it up on some web site find the name of the company or who made it and look up some back ground on it you never know might be realy old!


I would like to start a pension but am worried that a subsequent move from the UK to Canada might complicate matters.\n\nCan I find a scheme that's transferable to Canada?\n\nShould I invest in a high interest account that has nothing to do with a pension scheme? \n\nDoes anyone have any advice or similar experience?

One of the most unique questions! Consult some of the local finance and legal experts since local laws sometimes interfere with international law. Although, it should be possible, lots of legal (local and international) formalities, may have to be completed. Probably the BEST thing to do is to consult INSURANCE COMPANY EXECUTIVES; who should be able to give best advise on matters pertaining to PENSION SCHEMES.


No critizing please about mormons! Please share your testimonies mormon people.

I am a father of five sons and the husband of a beautiful wife.  Because of our obedience to the teachings of the Lord as revealed through the prophets of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints we have been successfully married for 26 years, never divorced, never separated, never been unfaithful to one another.  All five sons have earned their Eagle Scout rank, four oldest have graduated from high school, never been drinkers, never smoked, never used drugs, never joined a gang, never been arrested, never been a problem to raise one bit.  Four eldest sons have served full-time LDS missions throughout the world in Pennsylvania, London, Montana, and Houston.  Two oldest sons were married for time and all eternity in the San Diego Temple and now have successful families of their own.  All the criticism and heel-snapping by non-LDS individuals simply reveals how little they know of the Lord's teachings to his children.  They argue over some quote made by Brigham Young 160 years ago and they totally ignore what the teachings of the church could do for them.  Many of the harshest critics of the church come from divorce, broken homes, lonely lives of desperation who could have equally been blessed if they paid the price to gain a testimony of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ and live its teachings.  Sadly, however they choose to pursue lives of criticism rather than investigate with a sincere heart with real intent having faith in Christ.  Such is the nature of mortality.


how can i know my friends activities like whats he doing when he is online like chatting in which yahoo room or playing or checking any link or any other information, but i suppose this is not hacking or spying as in some chat rooms like www.indiatimes.com when we are in a chat room or any other place we have options to follow a certain user or we can wknow where that user is going and we can just follow him where ever he goes we can be there, so is there any such thing in yahoo for chat or any other things please let me know its just a query but its not about breaking the privacy

Well as much as you or indiatimes doesn't think it breaks privacy, Yahoo! does. Having a feature that "Follows" a user is not something a giant chat network wants to have to deal with, so they don't include it. The qualifications for these things are debatable, as you surely know. Indiatimes doesn't have to worry about losing users in a case where it becomes a big deal. Yahoo! definitely does.\n\nSo the only thing left for you to do is ask him.


the tryout schedule for houstonrockets nba team

With so many religius beliefs out there, how can each one claim God as there own?

I am mother, daughter, sister, teacher, cook, gardener, etc. depending on place, situation, and who I'm dealing with.  But it's all still ME! Just different aspects.  I believe the Creator works the same way. One Creator, many aspects.

8x/x^2-2x-15  minus 5/x-5\n\nthis is a fraction. 10 pts. in 24

Factor each denominator\nx^2-2x-15 = (x-5)(x+3)\nx-5 = x-5\nThus, the common denominator is (x-5)(x+3)\nThe first term already has the common denominator, so nothing need to be changed.\nThe second term is missing the x+3, so multply the top and bottom by x+3\n5/x-5\n= 5(x+3)/{(x-5)(x+3)) \n= (5x+15)/{(x-5)(x+3)} \nNow that everything has the common denominator, subtract the numerators.\n{8x-(5x+15)}/{(x-5)(x+3)} \n= (8x-5x-15)/{(x-5)(x+3)}\n= (3x-15)/(x-5)(x+3)  \nYou can factor a 3 from the numerator\n{3(x-5)}/{(x-5)(x+3)}\nCancel the x-5 on top with the x-5 on bottom\nAnswer: 3/(x+3)


I'm doing this for a sox fan even though i like the Yanks

hopefully. his age isn't really effecting him as much as it probably should and he still pitches well. he may not get awarded for anything for his pitching, but he will probably still do good.


He is still in love with me and clinging to hope that we will reconcile, we have a two year old child together, I don't wish to cause him more pain but don't want to lie.

Never lie because I think in the end that causes even more pain. Be honest with him even though it would break your heart to cause him more pain. I understand that, I hate hurting anyone. But in the end he will get over you and realize that he will be ok. For the sake of your child I hope that he is mature enough to handle this and not cause any problems that may result in hurting your child emotionally. Good luck to the both of you.


whats your favorite sport and why? can include any sport ever made.


With so many people using the internet these days and the fact that it can truely be addictive - I wonder if it can pose a problem in peoples lives to the point of being too adicting that they need to seek help -who knows it may already be over the edge for some people - i could see myself getting caught up if i dont watch myself - the longest I've been online at one given time was 12 hours solid - due to my huge thirst for knowledge -As we speak I'm surfing 4 different sites at the same time !! So what do you all think about this - are you an Internet Addict ???

If there isn't then there should be...we had to do an intervention with my fiancee!!!  But it didn't really work...but it's too the point where he's going to lose all his RL friends and me.  But all of you in America have it pretty good, I'm living in China and I swear that 90% of young people under 30 spend AT LEAST 10hrs a day at the Internet cafe.  The Internet cafes are open 24/7 and are usually between 50 and 1,000 computers per cafe...and they are all packed by 4pm


Now im a big football fan and a bigger cowboy fan and i know the game so im not clueless about terrell's ways but i think that if bledsoe get's protection in the pocket that him and terrell can do something....does anyone disagree with me or think im being too optomistic

TO has never had a coach like Parcells.  Mariuchi (?) is weak as we've seen in Detroit.  People think Andy Reid is a tough guy...I saw a piece on him on ESPN once and he's not hard at all..I saw Parcells live at Jets training camp and that guy is hard.  He is the King of the team and everyone knows it.  Jerry Jones is a football guy and I think the players respect him for that.  I don't think he made bones about his ability to make TO's life a living hell if anything goes wrong, so they have that understanding...That, combined with the microscope he'll be under and the lifestyle in Dallas is more in tune with his southern roots (ie, when you're south, we all become a bit more polite)I think he'll be fine and Jerry Jones will add another feather to his legend.  Witten on short routes, TO on medium routes and Glenn on long routes?  Yikes!


I tend to think the Ancient Egyptians were Egyptians and not non-egyptians. Crazy I know, but in giving the PC hate-whitey revisionist movement in the african american comunity the benefit of the doubt, Ive tried to look at the iconogrpahy of the ancients with greater focus on their racial make-up. They still look very Egyptian to me BUT, paste a link showing otherwise, its all very curious to me but Im open minded still.

i think they were italians.....italians always meddle into others business


electric flux is help to run the electric motors

flux are field lines. In reference to the electric motors... when electric current flows through a wire placed in a magnetic field, the wire moves in the direction perpendicular to the magnetic flux and also to the direction of electric current.\n\nIn reality flux lines are "imaginary". They were used by Michael Farady to explain electric and magnetic field lines.

Do u guys know any interesting facts about celery? i kno it increases ur appetite but is there anything else...more "interesting" thanks!!!

1.Celery is grown from seed in a greenhouse for six to eight weeks. Then it's transplanted into a field of dark, moist organic soil called muck.\n\n2. It only takes one ounce of celery seeds to grow one acre of celery.\n\n3. There are 1,000,000 seeds in one pound of celery seeds.\n\n4. Most celery growers plant from 32,000 to 42,000 plants per acre.\n\n5. There is a Celery Museum in Portage, Michigan.\n\n6.The two main types of celery are Pascal and Golden Heart. However, only several varieties of Pascal are still grown commercially.\n\n7. Celery is from the same plant family as carrots, parsley, fennel and caraway.\n\n8. The name 'celery' is from the French word 'celeri'.


Im tryin to dunk the basketball like Lebron James and be quick and explosive like Allen Iverson.  What can I do to be like that.

You need to want it more than anyone...\n\nGet up and practice when everyone is sleeping...\n\nLift weights, run sprints, practice your free throws, focus mainly on your hamstrings and calves when you work out...\n\nPractice taking off for your leaps with your strong foot...\n\nIE explode to the hoop...Make your strongest step your last step, you will get it soon enough...I never thought I would, but it happens...\n\nPractice while you are young enough. Time flies, and then you can't play anymore...keep your head up, do your best. its worth it.


i wear a thong and im not gay girl give me some good answers

I used to beleive everyting was just fine untilI started watching the news and istening to talk shows. Now I'm stress, I believe the US is in a downward spiral, and I'm afraid our next president will be a socialist tyrant. Wasn't it better, not knowing? Ignorance is bliss, right?

Switzerland wouldn't be too bad, either. Talk shows and news reports can tend to exaggerate everything, but I think the US is heading downward, too. But hey, what goes down must come up! Ignorance isn't bliss! Knowledge holds the power to make changes...


work out a lot, go out with friends (it's nice not having every night planned weeks in advance), write, goof off on yahoo answers.


we were only doing what we belive in. What is wrong with that? Yes, I know we killed so many people but will you do the same for what you belive in? My grandfather fought for Germany in 1944, he was only 19. He told me story about the Americans and what they done. Belive me they were all most as bad as the Germans. Like I said we are sorry for what we have done.

if thats is the case people all around the world should hate americans. this country has started so many wars that there is to much to mention. this country at first new what hitler was doing and did nothing to stop him. they were neutral about it. usa committed war crimes in war world 2 and until this day they still do war crimes.

don't trust him too easily, people can change, but most only pretend too. i'd give him a chance but don't get to attached to fast girl, he might just be telling you one thing and doing another


i want to know this for a school project...

Yo, this completely depends on how loud it is, and how short or long your attention span is.  As for me, it helps out alot. peace.


1.A man and his son are driving in a car when they crash into a tree. So the man takes his son to the hospital and the docter say" I can't opperate on him hes my son.\n\n2.Two trains leave the station at the same time. They both are headed for a tunnel with only one track. Will they crash?\n\n3.Can giraffes have babies?\n\n4.A friend introduces you to your mothers sister husband who has no sisters. What would you call this person?

1. the doctor is the son's mother\n2. they are following each other\n3. they have baby giraffes=calves\n4. your uncle


Isn’t murder, murder? A rose by any other name is still a rose.

An embryo or fetus is dependent upon its mother's body for survival. A woman has the right to have absolute dominion over her own person, and since the fetus or embryo is part of her person, no one has the right to force her to carry it to term.\n\nKilling an unborn child in a war is wrong, because you are murdering a separate life form whose existence is not dependent upon yours. And not only that, but the right of the mother of the unborn child to autonomy over her own body has been violated. It's forced abortion, pure and simple.\n\nI have mixed feelings about the death penalty. On the one hand, since murderers have deprived others of their right to live, they should also be robbed of theirs. On the other hand, since so many people have been wrongly convicted of murder, the death penalty should be abolished, because executions are irreversible.

why does the color change from orange to yellow when aqueous ammonia is added to an acetic acid solution of potassium dichromate?

In acidic solutions, dichromate is the predominant species.  When the pH rises, as it would when you're adding ammonia to your acidic solution, the predominant form for chromium(VI) is the chromate ion, CrO4(2-), which is yellow.

i cant get my dude away from me. he wont even let me around other guys without watching me.i love him very much but he's ALWAYS around... i've tried telling him to back off for a few days but he comes to my house anyway

explain to him that you need space and time to think about things going on in your life. if he really cares he will back off and if that don't work end it.


Well, are you, and describe how you treat people?

snob vs shy..   hard to differentiate sometimes.


Yes its the little boy with empty pockets looking for some more candy ha ha.\n\nI posted a question and did get a lot of answers from many who say that a Muslin is free to read the bible and I do respect that. All I do believe, is entitled to his own view so please let me not be one to place any restriction in any way, Ha Ha I am just looking for  candy and to hear the opinion of others with reason.\n\nMy question was "Why does the Koran say it not to read the bible but the bible does not say not to read the Koran"\n\nFor those who are of the opinion that I was wrong in my question, I do accept it However: do check a website http://www.USC.edu/dept/MSA/quran/ and see the following[not mine and nothing to do with me]\n\nSee the Noble Qur'an 14:1 "The Torah, Psalms, and Gospels HAVE ALL BEEN SUPERSEDED by the Qur'an..." \n\nRead about Mohammad [Saus}, the BOOK of Truth of Muhammad, etc.\n\nSUPERSEDED: replaced in power, effectiveness, use, authority, etc....\n\nA "NO" cjkeysjr@yahoo.ph

The Bible says not to add to or take away from it in any way.  Therefore, if another book comes along and "supersedes" the Bible, it must be thought of as false teaching.  Unfortunately, I don't know enough about the Muslim religion to comment on its readings, but from the Christian point of view, any religion that rejects Christ as the Messiah must be a false teaching.  From what I understand, they have elevated Mohamed to be equal with Jesus and for that reason, I must get out my rubber stamp and red ink and label it "FALSE"!


If you were to look under "general employment" ads in your newspaper, what would the average pay be for your area? Like where I am in Florida it would be about $8.00 an hour. Which is bad because no one can afford housing in this area. What's it like in other areas? I'll bet others want to know this too.

You must live in the same place I do because my kids and grand kids all complain about the job market and low wages. I know that the wages are higher "up north" but I lived there and it's more expensive so its a wash. I feel sorry for you guys cause when I was young when you took a job you had a chance to work your way up, that doesn't seem to be true now. I hope you are successful in finding a decent job.


Seriously the noise is driving me nuts. All that yelping and he is running that damm woodchipper 24-7. I would talk to him myself but he has been providing me with fresh meat.

Move your little enterprise to the country. You can do your dirty deeds in secret. The fresh meat is a good thing. How can you pass that up! All i can say is, if you can't move it, pup and kaboodle, just turn up your Nugent CD.

So, really, how much *could* a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

The dictionary defines the verb chuck as: to eject the contents of the stomach through the mouth.  A woodchuck, AKA groundhog, can consume up to .67 kg's per day. That's 1.47 lbs per day.  The average lifespan of a woodchuck is 8 years. Therefore if a woodchuck ate 1.47 lbs of wood everyday for it's entire life and then preceded to chuck it.  A woodchuck could chuck 4,292.4 lbs of wood.\n\nBut because woodchucks have been known to eat the bark off of trees, technically a woodchuck CAN chuck wood!


Sonic restraunts need to work their way North to Michigan,We get teased with the commercials all the time!\nI have eaten their food in other states so what gives?..can Someone PLEASE start this process?

My brother and I use the same computer. It's a brand new HP Pavilion a1420n, we've had it only for a few days. It has Windows XP and my brother and I use different user accounts. When it comes to using the Internet, my user account is extremely slow with loading pages, even by dial-up standards. My brother's user account is much faster (about or above average dial-up speeds). We both use NetZero Internet, with Mozilla Firefox as the browser. Can anybody pinpoint the problem? Why is the Internet faster on my brother's user account than on mine?

1. is your connection faster when your brother's computer is off? if so, then it is simply that his computer is using more of the total bandwidth, probably it is closer to the socket or router.\n\n2. if your computer is still slow with his computer off, then it may be your hardware or software.


WHAT DO YOU REALLY THINK OF THE BRITISH?

Except for the horrible tasting food they eat, their teeth, their suffisticated accent which bore people to death, their horrible weather (which always gloomy everyday) and their slow cars.... I actually like them.


I wish I did, but I didn't I only knew my grand parents

i only knew my great-grandmother. she took care of me every day when i was little, but she died when i was 8.  it was cool because she was 80 years older than me which is a whole world of difference.  she could remember back to the turn of the century (1900, not 2000 of course).  she told me stories all the time about how the world was when she was little.  she really valued teaching children nursery rhymes, bible songs, and stories of the past.  i think she was really important in shaping the values i still have. also, i have lots of respect and some sympathy for old people now b/c of her.  it's got to be sad to be old and be living in a world that is so unfamiliar to you and where you don't really feel like you are a valued part of society.  i really miss her even today, but i'm so grateful that i knew her.  i'm sorry you missed out on that, maybe, hopefully, you'll be around to know your own great-grandchildren adn you can make good memories for them like i have.


I feel like if a white person in America were to say they only date other white people, he or she would be labeled a racist.\nHowever, it seems that people of other races are free to discriminate and stick to their own race. Although there are mixed relationships in this day and age, it seems like the majority of relationships are still black-on-black, hispanic-on-hispanic, asian-on-asian, indian-on-india, etc. Especially once you move outside of America. Take India, for example. I think most Indian parents only want their daughters to marry Indian men. Most Korean parents only want their sons to marry Korean girls. Is this any less racist than a white person refusing to date nonwhite people??

no not racist just personal preferences\npeople date who makes them feel comfy and happy\nif the curiosity is not their or opportunity to date outside race and a person prefers their race that is not racist\nto think the other races are beneath you or you are full of hate and that is why you would not interracially date that is racist but to just prefer to date your own race is not\ninterracial relationships require extra energy and tolerance alot of people do not have energy for


How can I please them without pleasuring them , I can't do married women ?

a a !\nyou are not to even please them baby.\ndon't play charming for married women, play it for girls instead, come on ;) LOL


Not even big things...just like standing in a group circle and they are constantly cutting you off in conversation and trying to step/sit in front of you. \n\nAnd why!? Why is it that it seems they single me out?

Seems like this is no REAL friend at all. True friends are not rude to you like that. This person seems to be intimidated by you and is handling this by trying to make you seem insignificant so that hey in turn, will be noticed more. If they cared about and loved you as a real friend would, they would be shining a spotlight on YOU instead.


Regretfully, I had an affair outside of my marriage. It lasted WAY too long. It started 4 years ago, and I tried to end it when I got pregnant (my husband's baby). The guy I cheated w/threatened to expose our relationship, & I didn't want to destroy my family, so I continued. I know I sound like big chicken, but so many details, so little space. Now, I really want to end it for good, but the one I cheated with continues to threaten my family. I guess this is the result of cheating in the first place, so please spare me those lectures. I just want to know if anyone has dealt with something like this, or has any realistic suggestions.

I was ALMOST in that situation...\n\nFortunately I realized BEFORE things got too bad (he was just starting to become possessive) & ended it little by little.\n\nI don't know what to suggest - other than what I did - which was winding down the relationship VERY slowly - which will eventually end it & hopefully he will have adjusted to your not being around anymore.


I have hit a brick wall very hard. Thanks for your answers.

first count molecules of carbon in CH3Co2H, in this case its one, 12.01 grams of carbon in each mole of CH3Co2H, divide 12.01 by the total weight mass of CH3Co2H which is 133.91 and you get .0897 or 8.97%


I'm looking for a subscription service that helps me managing my money. I'd like to buy or short indices funds like Rydex funds for medium or long terms (not for day trading), preferably a few times a year.

I don't think those subscription services are what you need.  The problem with most of them is that they are over hyped and usually don't account for real world practice and conditions.  If you want to make a lot of money on the market you got to do your own research.  Think about it,  if the subscriptions are that hot why do they tell other people about it?  I am a licensed adviser and I have seen too many people looking for the short cut and after being disappointed a few times quit the market all together.  I would recommend you to look at some thing like the Motley Fools or IBD and look at what they like and why they like what they like and then do your own research on the company or fund managers.  When you buy a fund you are betting on the management's ability to beat the market, that is all.  Another thing, this I learned myself after thousands of dollars worth of market lessons.  Don't try to time the market.  There are to many factors that we do not control.  The consistent way to beat the market is through figuring out the fundamentals and let time do the growing for you.  Market timing and refusing to cut loses are two sure way to decimate your portfolio.  So be careful and do your research before sinking your hard earned dollars.


I saw a film a good few years back, with Cybill Shepard in it and she was pregnant and waiting in a diner to tell her husband the good news, but as he was crossing the road in front of the diner he was knocked down and killed. Anyhow he ended up being reincarnated and started going out with a girl, who was Cybill's daughter aka his daughter in a past life. Long shot but does anyone know what it was called?

I think the film is called "Chances Are"


Would they be ashamed of me, or just drink their own pee?

no, no, no, Humans were created to be a slave race by aliens...


my friends and i have been trying to get him to kiss me but even when we hug its really akward! what do i do???

It is only akward because you let it be.\nJust be totally comfortable with it..and it will be okay.\nOh and kiss him.\nSince that is a bigger step in the relationship it will make that seem like nothing.\nGood Luck,\nHope I helped


do string savers directly impact tennis game

String savers are used for Gut strings and also what is known as multifilament strings that will fray over time.  The string savers reduce the "notching" commonly found in tennis from the saw like action the strings perform during the stiking of a tennis ball.  Therefore by reducing this friction you can maintain longer string life of the more expensive strings that have greater feel due to their increased elasticity.  This means the tennis player has better feedback on his ball strikes and thus can control his shots a little better based on "feel" of the shot.

If many of them could play like REAL basketball players, they would be insanely good. The Georgetown centers like Alonzo and Ewing, in addition to Hakeem(not from Gtown) had skills. Still, the problem was prevalent back then.

well first off. to be a center in the NBA you have to be at least 6'10 and above. do you know anyone above 6'10??\n\nit's hard to find ppl that are 6'10 and above. Gather all the 6'10 and above players..then filter the ones out that DONT pla y basketball. You have very few...then filter the ones that REALLY suck. Then you have VERY VERY few left. That's why. It's rare to find someone 6'10 and above..then even more rare to find someone that plays well at 6'10 and above.\n\nThere are more players that are 6foot even than 6'10 players. with that said, more skilled players can be found  in the 6'0 area than the 6'10 area. Plus, you're comparing these centers against the best in the world. They are playing in the world's most elite league. Put those centers such as Luc Longely type players in a league in Italy or in an Arab league..then they'd probably be a top contender. You also have to remember.. even if they're not REALLY REALLY GOOD..you have to remember they got into the NBA for a reason. Those who dont get into the NBA play overseased..n there's many of them.


I see questions like, who should be the president?, should we have a women president?. Isn't this site read by rest of the people of the world.

People are going to assume, if someone doesn't clarify, that you're talking about the country they are in....obviously... it's not that complicated... and probably a good percentage of us are in America....


This is not a question but a statement.  I have a severe addiction to cadbury creme eggs.  Please tell me I am not alone...Happy Easter to all!!!

Would it be illegal to send a clip from a song, movie, or music video (copyrighted) to somebody else across the Net?  I mean like ten seconds. It wouldn't be enough for somebody to actually have a copy, so it wouldn't be illegal would it?  What about a frame from a video or extracted audio?\n\nI'm talking one clip here, not lots of little ones that add up to the entire thing or the whole thing itself.

No, it is not illegal.  It is called "fair use".  It would only be illegal if the amount of material reproduced was significant in relation to the whole.  Ten seconds out of two hours would not be a significant enough portion to cause harm to the copyright holder.  Also, if the material was used to illustrate a point within a larger work, such as, copying a paragraph from a book in another book where the first one is used as a reference or to support an argument.  You do not need permission.\n\nYou can look up the entire Fair Use Clause at the US Copyright Office online.


can you? \nOr do I need a INTERNAL DVD DRIVE? \nNeed serious help on this!!!

Yes, games can be played on an external DVD Drive. There is no difference between external and internal DVD drives, except the speed with which thd drive reads the data on the disc. If you aren't using a USB 2.0 external drive, then more than likely your game cannot be played on the external drive since USB 1.1 transfer speed is only 11MBPS, whereas USB 2.0 is well over 200MBPS. Basically, this translates into USB 2.0 transferring A LOT more data. So...to summarize, if you have USB 2.0 external drive, go ahead, you'll be able to play the game easily. Otherwise, I suggest you either get an internal DVD drive, which is really the best option if you're slightly brave enough to open your case up and explore, or a new external USB 2.0 drive.


The International world has known the game football for a long time.In The U.S,it is known as succor.

The word "soccer" comes from "As[soc]iation Football," which is the formal version of the game. It was adopted by the Football Association (FA) in 1863.


If you like boys with long hair, why?. A friend of mine always tells me to let my hair grow or she'll kill me (yes, she likes it that much) and I have another friend who says her ex looked super-sexy with his pony-tail, I already have their answers as to why, but I'd like to know a little more, even if only to further justify the fact that I really like to have long hair (just like in my pic)\nAppreciate it!

I don't like guys with real long hair, but shoulder length is always good. I think it makes a guy look sensitive. Like I could tell him my biggest secret & he would understand. I also think it makes guys look sexy.

Im just going to choose the answer that intrest me most or that is funnier than the rest! Try to give me a good laugh.

so you want a joke?? alrighty then here's 2....:\n\nSpaghetti \n\nA wealthy man was having an affair with an Italian woman for a few years.\nOne night, during one of their rendezvous, she confided in him that she was pregnant.\nNot wanting to ruin his reputation or his marriage, he paid her a large sum of money if she would go to Italy to have the child. If she stayed in Italy,\nhe would also provide child support until the child turned 18.\nShe agreed, but wondered how he would know when the baby was born. To keep it discrete, he told her to mail him a post card, and write "Spaghetti" on the back. He would then arrange for child support.\nOne day, about 9 months later, he came home to his confused wife.\n"Honey," she said, "you received a very strange post card today."\n"Oh, just give it to me and I'll explain it later," he said.\nThe wife obeyed, and watched as her husband read the card, turned white, and fainted.\nOn the card was written "Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti. Two with meatballs, one without."\n------------------------------------------------------------ The Good Napkins \n\nMy mother taught me to read when I was four years old (her first mistake). \n\nOne day, I was in the bathroom and noticed one of the cabinet doors was ajar. I read the box in the cabinet. I then asked my mother why she was keeping 'napkins' in the bathroom. Didn't they belong in the kitchen? \n\nNot wanting to burden me with unnecessary facts, she told me that those were for "special occasions." \n\nNow fast forward a few months .... It's Thanksgiving Day, and my folks are leaving to pick up the pastor and his wife for dinner. Mom had assignments for all of us while they were gone. Mine was to set the table. \n\nWhen they returned, the pastor came in first and immediately burst into laughter. Next came his wife who gasped, then began giggling. Next came my father, who roared with laughter. Then came Mom, who almost died of embarrassment when she saw each place setting on the table with a "special occasion" napkin at each plate, with the fork carefully arranged on top. I had even tucked the little tails in so they didn't hang off the edge!! \n\nMy mother asked me why I used these and, of course, my response sent the other adults into further fits of laughter. \n\n"But, Mom, you SAID they were for special occasions!"


I thought that's a style for lesbian, but my friend told that's a trend during 90s. Anyone knows. \nThank you

i have 2 earrings in my left ear and 1 in my right ear. I have had this from the early 70's. it was a sigh of toughness and you would take a chain and tread it from 1 hole to the other in the left ear.


Walked into county mental health for the first time, and found they already had a file on you?

This could happen IF you had been either admitted into or were temporarily held at a mental hospital or a mental health respite/crisis treatment center and the community mental health center (CMHC) had a direct connection/agreement with the organization that also runs the CMHC.  I've had a client this happened to. Because she presented to the hospital for a bit, the medical information is already in their system which put her on a priority list for treatment because she'd recently been treated for a crisis. It was a helpful in for her to get services quickly. Something like that probably happened to you.

I've always joked that illegal immigrants from Mexico were actually slowly infiltrating our country so that one day they could enlist a single strike and take over the Southwest and more.\n\nNow, I swallow hard, as I watched a video that another user has introduced(J D ).\n\nWatch it here: http://www.immigrationwatchdog.com\n\nAnd then tell me if you still think we should grant amnesty AGAIN. They're not mad because they want us to accept them and their families. They "want their land back". So we may be going to war with them soon. Are you worried? Or should we send them all home NOW. Then it will be atleast 10 years before they can get enough people here throught the LEAGAL process, and if we tighten our borders, not many will be able to come illegally.\n\nThanks J D.

I recently read this article in the Chicago Sun Times.  It is both enlightening and scary.  I am living overseas temporarily, but I often wonder what I'll return to when I do come home.  The US is not what it used to be.  Here's the article:\n\nNo easy answers on immigration conundrum \nApril 9, 2006 \nBY MARK STEYN SUN-TIMES COLUMNIST  \n \nHere's my immigration "compromise": We need to regularize the situation of the 298 million non-undocumented residents of the United States. Right now, we get a lousy deal compared with the 15 million fine upstanding members of the Undocumented American community. I think the 298 million of us in the overdocumented segment of the population should get the chance to be undocumented. You know when President Bush talks about all those undocumented people "living in the shadows"? Doesn't that sound kinda nice? Living in the shadows, no government agencies harassing you for taxes and numbers and paperwork. \nGo ahead, try it. In Michelle Malkin's book Invasion, she recounts the tale of two fellows who in August 2001 pulled into a 7-Eleven parking lot in Falls Church, Va., in search of fake ID from the illegal-alien assistance network that hangs around there. Luis Martinez-Flores, who'd been living here illegally since 1994, took them along to the local DMV, supplied them with a fake address and falsely certified they lived there. The very next day, the two guys returned with two pals of their own, and used their own brand-new state ID on which the ink was not yet dry to obtain in turn brand-new state ID for their buddies. A couple of weeks later, all four of them used their Virginia ID to board American Airlines Flight 77 at Dulles Airport and plowed it into the Pentagon. \nThink about that. From undocumented illegal alien in the 7-Eleven parking lot to lawful resident of the State of Virginia in just a couple of hours. Wow. Say what you like about Luis Martinez-Flores, but he runs one efficient operation. \nBy comparison, say you've got two kids under 5, and you'd like to bring over a nice English nanny to look after them. Name of Mary Poppins. Good references, impeccable character. If you apply now, there's a sporting chance the process may be completed before your children's children are in college. \nGiven that the new immigration "compromise" bill retrospectively approves all the millions of people who've been through the super-efficient Luis Martinez-Flores immigration system but without doing anything to improve the sclerotic U.S. government immigration system, maybe it would be better just to subcontract the entire operation to Senor Martinez-Flores and his colleagues. It would certainly be cheaper. The extensive Undocumented American support network manages to run it out of the back of the car from a parking lot without a lot of air-conditioned offices full of lifetime employees on government pensions, and given that the net result is exactly the same people who'd be living here anyway, why not go with the lowball bid? Legal immigrants to the United States can only envy the swift efficient service Messrs. Hani Hanjour and Khalid Almihdhar received outside that 7-Eleven. \nAll developed countries have immigration issues, but few conduct the entire debate as disingenuously as America does: The president himself has contributed a whole barrelful of weaselly platitudes, beginning with his line that "family values don't stop at the Rio Grande." True. They don't stop at the 49th parallel either. Or the Atlantic shore. Or the Pacific. So where do family values stop? At the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services. If you're an American and you marry a Canadian or Belgian or Fijian, the U.S. government can take years to process what's supposed to be a non-discretionary immigration application, in the course of which your spouse will be dependent on various transitional-status forms like


first off we are very gettign pretty serious.  we will be kissing and petting very heavily and i will be rubbing her vagina on the outside of her pants.  and she will be rubbing my penis.  things are going great.  as soon as i try to put my hand down her pants for some fingering she pulls my hand back.  why is this? i cant help but fell like shes not atracted to me or something im doing is all wrong.  what can i do for her to be more invovled with US?

Because she is a good girl and doesn't want to go there just yet.  It takes a long time for a girl to get comfortable with the idea of someone touching her like that.  Give her time.  When she is ready, she'll move your hand there.


I just read that most etymologists agree it came from the humorous misspelling of "all correct" (oll korrect), but I had never heard that before now.  Any other ideas?

Such a short word and the source of so much dispute. It is possibly the phrase with more alternative suggested derivations than any other. \n\nThe contenders include: \n\nTerms from various languages that sound similar to 'okay' in English. For example:\n\nfrom the Scots - 'och aye' (yes, indeed)\nfrom Choctaw-Chickasaw, 'okah' (it is indeed)\nfrom Greek, 'ola kala' ( everything is well)\nfrom Finnish, 'oikea' (correct, exact)\nfrom Mandingo, 'O ke', (certainly)\n\n\nA shortened version of 'Oll Korrect', used by President Andrew Jackson when initialing papers \n'Old Kinderhook' - nickname of President Martin van Buren. \n'Aux quais' - the mark put on bales of cotton in Mississippi river ports. \n'0 killed' - the report of the night's death toll during the First World War. \n'Orl Korrect' - military reporting indicating troops were in good order. \netc, etc.


Every day I tell her that i love her. And i mean it I could never tell this to anyone else before. I was the first one to give her a Rose, including her family, for no reason at all. I asked her if she loved me, after about 4 weeks of dating and she said that she is in love with me and that she could never say it to any before except to her parents. And i also asked her if i was the kind of person that she could spend the rest of her life with and she said yeah. But sometimes i dont know if she really is in love with me i mean there is apart of me that believes her and there is another part of me that does not believe her and thinks that everything is too perfect to be true.

Will "T.O." make the Dallas Cowboys a better football team?

Yes he will T.O one of the best WR in NFL and when the Eagles play Dallas T.O will show them who's best who can cacth T.O on the Eagles nobody. The fan's sitting in the Dallas enzone stand's the way he is running when he jump's up and high five's then when he score's and rub's in who shamefully tryed to beg Andy Reid please let T.O come back we forgive him if the owner and coach will let him come back. T.O did not make the Eagle lose their chance for the play-off's McNabb did when he threw that interception and seen he could not cacth the man and fell to the ground because he lost the game and he knew he would be booed again as he has in the past. Oh T.O this and T.O that Eagles will not make it to a Super Bowl in this decade. Someone please give the Eagles some cheese with that wine.


ENOUGH is ENOUGH! 9/11 was how long ago?  what did he do during 9/11 that he's being credidt for!\nopinions please?...?...? bush sucks that's my opinion

Personaly I beleive Bush could have prevented 9/11 if he could read. His advisers tried to tell him that there was an important Alqaida threat. But he didn't listen and he didn't read his important breifings.\n\nWhat a moron, but what's worse is all the morons that voted him back into office after all the stuff he didn't do right. He shoulda been impeached the first term.


Green Day is the best band in the world and no one an replace them! I LOVE YOU BILLIE!

I don't drink at all.  But I think this is wrong. A person who isn't bothering anyone.  Just setting there drinking they can arrest them for public tox.  Isn't it like going to a basketball court to play ball.  The cops come in and arrest you.  Is it just me or are they going to far with this.

Who knows about Texas.  \n\nIn California, I can arrest anyone in public (and this includes a bar) who is intoxicated to the point that they are unable to care for their safety, or the safety of others.  If you're that drunk (and obviously this is open to some interpretation), you really need to be locked up if only for your own protection.\n\nOften, this happens with guys who have a few too many cans of man in them, and think they can take on the entire bar at one time.  That sort of shows they're not capable of taking care of their own safety very well.

I use reason, just plug in a midi controller and go! Drum machines, synthesizers and samplers all at your disposal! www.propellerheads.se!


Ok 2 of my mates went out, they split up because one of them wanted to but couldn't so the other did it, in tears.\nsomeone decided they would tell the person (who didnt want to break up but did it in tears) that the other (who did want to break up but couldnt tell her) still liked her and wanted to go out again. this got my freinds hopes up and all the rest of us at school feel really sorry for her coz her hopes are up and it will hurt her real bad, break her heart(U). Has this happened to you or to a freind of yours?

You need to tell your friend! It is going to hurt her more knowing that everyone a school knew the truth and you all feel sorry for her and didn't tell her! If you are a true friend to her please don't let her get hurt anymore!


I mean seriously, why not pg-17? 14 year olds don't need to be seening that crap. Who knows, in a few years it might be pg!

Porno that's pg-14?  What are you considering porno?  Dawson's Creek?  Maybe you should see an actual porno before throwing the word around.


What's wrong with looking it up in dictionary,  if they're not going to use the spellchecker ?  Some of these people seem to be almost illiterate .

IT'S LIKE WE BE BUSY TRYING TO GET OUT WHAT WE ARE ASKING THAT WHEN WE ARE FINISHED IT'S TO LATE BECAUSE YOU HAVE ALREADY SUBMITTED IT. I DO THAT ALSO MYSELF SOMETIMES.  BASICALLY YOU RUSH THROUGH THE QUESTION FORGETTING TO USE THE SPELL CHECK, AND DON'T NOTICE THE MISTAKES UNTIL SOMEONE CATCHES THE PROBLEM LIKE YOURSELF. SO GIVE US A LITTLE BREAK PLEASE. IT'S NOT THAT WE CAN'T SPELL WE JUST RUSH THE QUESTION TO FAST. O.K.!!


my last thre crushes and boyfriend have been white so i dont know why.

you should change your Yahoo ID to "I Like White Meat"\n\nBut seriously, folks - have we gotten THAT politically correct in our society that now DATING preferences can be construed as racist?  This makes no sense, especially since you haven't even mentioned a preference for white guys; just that your last three "crushes" and a bf have been white.  \n\nThis is like saying "the last three job applicants and the guy I ultimately hired were all white, so I must be a racist."  This makes no sense, either.\n\nHowever, perhaps you are expressing some guilt about dating guys outsiede your race.  You don't indicate your race in your question.  Your avatar is ambiguous with respect to race, so I won't assume you are of any particular race.  I can assume that you are not white, and if that's the case, i have to wonder why you are feeling as if you are racist.  Are you feeling pressure from family or friends to date your "kind" (man- what an obsolete word - "kind")?  Do you feel duty bound to follow some sort of government-mandated affirmative action program?  If so, then throw in a brutha every 4th crush and you should be just fine.


sending people that arent in school or are unemployed would encourage others to do better in life but what are other benefits ( Im doing another speech)

They learn structure, how to follow orders, how to keep their living area clean. They have the opportunity to learn new skills and/or go to college for a degree. The armed forces need lawyers, engineers, medical personnel, media, arts, etc. There are so many career opportunities. After 4 years you can go out into the world and make a good life for yourself.
