Look at Africa/African-americans(excluding athletes). Look at the list of richest people on forbes list via AOL.com no black people. Tell me folks am black and I just wanna know...

What I'm about to say isn't necessarily fact. It is my opinion or rather my speculation. I don't have a correct answer. \n\nIf you think about it, being a minority has a lot to do with it. In a social environment, if were all equals, than why does the name "black people" exist? Aren't we all people? Why do we need to distinguish each other physically, other than to tell one person from the next?\n\nGo back to the time of slavery and into the sixties when Martin Luthor King, Jr. was making history. Those with african heritage have been opressed in the passed and to a certain extent now. Culturally, socially, there have been stereo types put upon those with african decent and for them, it's hard to shake that reputation. If you're constantly exposed to, "you're black, you must listen to hip-hop, rap, r&b, you must be an athlete or gangster", how would you fair? A lot of modern day youth have a huge problem because of this. \n\nSuccessful African americans or African what ever country, are successful and/or rich for the very same reasons others are; They earned it or they inherited it. But because of the media and because of labels put upon them, their battle to the good life may be more difficult than groups that have not had such struggles in the past or are portrayed in a hopeless manner.\n\nThis ofcourse, pertains mostly to those who are in places outside of Africa but not exclusively, of course. Within Africa, every individual country has severe problems. Ranging from agricultural, religious, economical, and the list goes on.\n\nMy friend is Arabic. He's from Morocco. His wife and his siblings are all well educated. Yet, because of the economy there, and the lack of jobs, they can do nothing with their training. When they left their country, things began to improve for them. \n\nI remember a movie called, "Any Given Sunday", starring Jamie Fox and Al Pacino. In one scene, Willie Beaman (Fox), was doing a sports program interview in which he's talking about black people and their struggles for success. He says some thing along the lines of, "We're raised to not to work together. To look out for our selves". It wasn't exactly like this but that's basically what he said. It's true, however. Especially in western culture. A black man or woman is raised to be an individual, selfish to their own needs without concern for any one else. That's not to say that everyone is like that among African American roots or otherwise but certainly in a the media's portrayal of it.\n\nI've always thought, the media is the greatest psychological influence in the world. It has enormous power.\n\nThat's a little insight into my personal thoughts. By no means do I have the monopoly on the truth. I don't. I'm speculating. I haven't done any research. These are my own observations.

What is the time span between deployments? I've heard you can't be deployed twice within a certain time span, is that true? And how long did you spend there?

I don't know if there is an actual rule to that, but they way they make the deployment schedules, it's unlikely to go twice in a row.  In the USMC, it's been 7 months there before the new guys show up.  They stay for seven months.  It's possible that as soon as you return, you'll start training to go back as the new guys replacements.  But that is what I am trying to do, and I am having a difficult time being put on a deployment.  There are more Marines willing to go than slots available.  Many Marines have gotten to go/had to go three times in one enlistment.  I've only gotten there once.  I've got a year left though.  Hopefully I'll make it back again.


if you are ready to die for her...as Christ's love for us...


My boyfriend and i have been going out for 5 years.My mother and my sister are against our relationship because he is not rich.My boyfriend and i are suffering alot and we haven´t seen each other for one year.He lives in France now and i´m moving to New York soon.I´m 23 years old  and i have the rights to make my own decisions.I´m also afraid that if my mother and my sister will put me and my boyfriend in jail because we love each other.Is that possible for my mom to do that?or loving each other is a crime.We are thinking of getting married without letting my mom and my sister know.Should i go to France?I am very afraid.Please help me.I am tired of this situation.

Loving someone is not a crime. You or your bf would have to be caught at something that is actually illegal and turned in. If that were to happen then some one could go to jail. You are old enough to do what you want to do. If your mother and sister don't like it, then to hell with them. Mom raised you, now that is done. Time for Mom to let go. You are going to have to put your foot down on this. Do what you want to do, so long as you don't break any REAL laws.


There is this girl and we were cool at first and she heard that i was talking behind her back and she goot mad and called me on the phone i apologized to her then the next day when we came to school she was telling everybody that we were gonna get into a fight. It angered me even more when i heard about it. Then two days afterward we were in class and she was getting smart with me, I was mad at her anyways so she  was an open target, so I got angry and cussed her out and argued with her.  Now i am mad at her and this time i refuse to apologize to her and now she tries to be around me with the sad expressions and the looks on her face looks like she wants to apologize and be my friend but then again i am hearing a little more talk about her. What should i do?? Should i erase her out of my life completely or should i apologize and go through the same thing again??

Okay-First, you were wrong for talking behind her back. No excuses there.  But, you did apologize for that, good for you.  Now she is just being stupid.  Don't apologize this time, you were in self defense mode and you are allowed to be.  You have to stand your ground.  By not apologizing, by standing up for your actions, you are telling her that you will not back down.  You are not to be messed with...you want to bark at me?  I have a bark too.  THAT is what you are saying to her.  I am not saying be her enemy...BUT, if you two are in the same group of people, it is okay to be nice to her, say "Hi" to her, laugh when the group of friends are laughing...but that doesn't mean you are sorry for standing up for yourself.  NO SIR.\nYou have something called a backbone...KEEP IT...be nice, be true to yourself, love and respect yourself and others will do the same.  I promise.

Virgo! About Your Sign...\nVirgo is the only zodiacal sign represented by a female. It is sometimes thought of as a potentially creative girl, delicately lovely; sometimes as a somewhat older woman, intelligent but rather pedantic and spinsterish. The latter impression is sometimes confirmed by the Virgoan preciseness, refinement, fastidious love of cleanliness, hygiene and good order, conventionality and aristocratic attitude of reserve. They are usually observant, shrewd, critically inclined, judicious, patient, practical supporters of the status quo, and tend toward conservatism in all departments of life. On the surface they are emotionally cold, and sometimes this goes deeper, for their habit of suppressing their natural kindness may in the end cause it to atrophy, with the result that they shrink from committing themselves to friendship, make few relationships, and those they do make they are careful to keep superficial.\n\nBut the outward lack of feeling may, in some individuals born under this sign, conceal too much emotion, to which they are afraid of giving way because they do not trust others, nor do they have confidence in themselves and their judgments. This is because they are conscious of certain shortcomings in themselves of worldliness, of practicality, of sophistication and of outgoingness. So they bring the art of self concealment to a high pitch, hiding their apprehensiveness about themselves and their often considerable sympathy with other people under a mantle of matter-of-factness and undemonstrative, quiet reserve. They are still waters that run deep. Yet in their unassuming, outwardly cheerful and agreeable fashion, they can be sensible, discreet, well spoken, wise and witty, with a good understanding of other people's problems which they can tackle with a practicality not always evident in their own personal relationships.\n\nBoth sexes have considerable charm and dignity, which make some male Virgoans appear effeminate when they are not. In marriage they can be genuinely affectionate, making good spouses and parents, but their love making is a perfection of technique rather than the expression of desire, and they must be careful not to mate with a partner whose sex drive requires a passion they cannot match.\n\nThey are intellectually enquiring, methodical and logical, studious and teachable. They combine mental ingenuity with the ability to produce a clear analysis of the most complicated problems. They have an excellent eye for detail but they may be so meticulous that they neglect larger issues. Also, although they are realists, they may slow down projects by being too exact.  \nThey are practical with their hands, good technicians and have genuine inventive talents, Thoroughness, hard work and conscientiousness are their hallmarks, and they are such perfectionists that, if things go wrong, they are easily discouraged. Because of their ability to see every angle of a many-sided question, they are unhappy with abstract theorizing. Appreciating the many different points of view as they do, they find philosophical concepts difficult, and they vacillate and have no confidence in any conclusions at which they arrive.\n\nWith these qualities, they are better as subordinates than leaders. Responsibility irks them and they often lack the breadth of strategic vision that a leader needs Virgoans are essentially tacticians, admirable in the attainment of limited objectives. Their self distrust is something they project on to other people and tends to make them exacting employers, though in the demands they make on those under them they temper this attitude with justice. They have potential abilities in the arts, sciences and languages. Language especially they use correctly, clearly, consciously and formally, as grammarians and etymologists rather than for literary interests, yet they are likely to have a good memory for apt quotations. Although they are well suited for careers in machine drawing, survey


I have never faked an orgasm, but I have been sorely tempted to. Guys seem to think that a girl has to have an orgasm every time, which is unrealistic, and quite frankly, practically impossible. They think if a girl doesn't have an orgasm it means they are bad in bed. Which is not true. Many women fake having an orgasm to make their guy feel better about themselves and to get them off their back about whether or not they had one, and if not, why not. The problem is, it hurts the relationship in the long run. Because not only are you lying to them, but then they'll never know if they ARE doing something wrong and they'll think they don't need to change anything about what they do because you ALWAYS get an orgasm. The sex won't get better and trust will be broken. It's always better to tell the truth, especially about things of this nature.


julio ceaser chavez or sugar ray leonard..in their prime?


If competition in an industry increases, the future growth potential should\na.decrease\nb.increase\nc.not be affected\nd.be negative

From the choices, it looks like A.  Decrease.\n\nWith lower margins (see monopoly versus perfect competition), the profits slim down over time and there's less room for individual growth even with the total size of the industry increasing.


I think that "...off the hook..." phrase is insulting, vulgar, demeaning, and trivializes the law. I really hate lawyers (as did Shakespeare); I hate them as much as I hate the cops. They'll look u right in the eye and tell you that people who critisize lawyers are rendering the best compliment possible, as they're admitting the lawyer always knows the truth. They think thier clients tell them the truth. Even doctors are smarter than that. Oh Lawyer, Lawyer please. Answer my questions, and solve my problems. After all, only u can do it. What ethics?

I only tell my lawyer what he needs to know. And only listen to half of what he says to me.


How long can I expect it to take to execute his will and have access to my inheritance? Besides taking authenticated death and birth certificate, am I missing anything else?

You need to get a lawyer (they are not as expensive as they are in the US) in Ecuador that is bilingual and HIGHLY recommended. First, I would check with the US Embassy/Consultate in Ecuador and ask if they have a list of lawyers they know of or you could use.\n\nIn countries like Ecuador, if people who lots of land,property or only one they creat Associations/Corporations under another name and even have board of directors (usually people in a legal office) so it is not like you can look up a SSN or the public records like we can in the US.\n\nThe lawyer(s) can do a search of the REGISTRO PUBLICO - If your dad had local identification (in Panama we call it CEDULA) and they can look for the porperty for you.\n\nBank accounts?  \n\nBesides the documents you mentioned (which you will have to have APOSTILLED not only notarized) you will need a WILL where you are named.  If your name has changed because of marriage/divorce, you will need those documents as well.  They will all have to be translated and the lawyer's office in Ecuador should be able to do that for you.\n\nDid your father ever work in the USA or have a bank account? \n\nIt will take TIME and 'expert' help.  You need a lawyer - period and he/she will tell you all you want.\n\nAlso, if you speak spanish, you could go online and check under the Ecuatorian legal websites what is needed...BUT also many legal firms that are bilingual (even if you don't use them) have some of this information in both languages.\n\nI am not a lawyer but I do believe in them - especially in Latin/Central/South America - you think welive in a bureacratic country in the USA?  You have seen NOTHING until you get to Ecuador.  Trust me on this.\n\nGood luck and I am sorry for your loss.


I want to know if the deeper you dive, does the water get heavier?

There are many effects that pressure has on human physiology from nitrogen narcosis, inert gas saturation of tissues, and even disbaricosteonecrosis. You could write a book and still not fully explain the effects of pressure on a human and indeed many have been written. But your question regarding water is a very simple one. Water is incompressible. Therefore no mater how great the pressure is the density and thus the weight do not change. There is one effect that might make it seem like the water is heavier though. Water has a predictable yet subtle thermal expansion patteren. Typically the deeper one goes, the colder the ocean is. Water is densest around 35 degrees Fahrenheit. So we can say that cold water is hevier than warm water, but not a whole lot.


I recently heard from a girlfriend that does market research that after a survey in 2005 of women ages 19-44 they found that about 6% are using an adult diaper for *convenience* during long trips, at shows/sports watching to avoid long women's bathroom lines, flights, etc. This company is now referring to them as "feminine diapers" (like feminine napkins). These are healthy women with no incontinence problems - just convenience. Can you let me know if you have ever done this? Do they work well? I have thought about it - but not seriously until now.\nPlease respond especially if you have done this. Do they work well, feel dry, etc? I'm considering it. Also, since most of you will be "ewww" and so on, please leave that off, since I'd like to hear *why* they are used for convenience.

i know this is off the stats you are looking for but i have heard women truck drivers have been doing that for years....  even male truck drivers trying to make up time due to traffic or whatever use them.  i hope this helps.


Bradley's soup is canned by a small family business. Each morning they make 200 litres of soup. This is put in cylindrical tins, each ofwhich is 8.4 cm high and has a dimeter of 7.0 cm.\n\nHow many of these tins can be filled from the 200 litres of soup?\n\nFYI I know the answer, i just want to see if anyone else can answer this question, which is really easy by the way. \n10 points for best answer with workings shown.

Volume of the cylinder= the length of the  cylinder X the cross section area  of the cylinder\n\nTherefore, V of tin = the length of the  tin X π r²\n                    = 8.4 cm X π (7/2) cm²\n                    = 102.9π cm³\n                    = 323.2699 cm³\n\nGiven the volume of soup = 200 litres\n                         = 200 X 1000\n                         = 200000 cm³\n\nThus, the number of tins = 200000 cm³/323.2699 cm³\n                         = 618.678\n\nSince there can't be .678 tin, we round off the number. Therefore the number of tins = 618\n\nU might wonder why 618 and not 619. It is because Bradley surely won't sell a tin that only be filled partially.


he wants to  get married but says he is scared to. we have picked a date but he said that just makes him more scared cause it gets closer and closer .he would rather just do it on the spur of the moment but i want our family there. help me please

You should not be getting married when either of you has reservations.


their girl licking or fingering them there?

It has absolutely nothing to do with being gay !!! My girl friend and I began experimenting with toys and light bondage over a year ago. It is a very trusting and sensual experience to be restrained while your lover pleases you. Recently, she decided to try using a strap-on on me. I was nervous at first but agreed. We both enjoyed it. The sensation was pleasurable but what we both really got off on was her being in control and as she put it, "you get to feel what it is like to have your lover inside of you". There was also pain associated with the pleasure, and we both got off on that as well which seemed wierd at first - but it was really all about her being in control, and me being submissive (used to always be the other way around). She actually orgasms during the act, sometimes more than once. And of course, stimulating the prostate can be very pleasurable - at least for me it gives me a raging hard-on. She is very oral and enjoys licking my anus as well - I guess cause she knows how good feels when I tongue hers !!!Feel free to holler at me mikeallen555555 on yahoo of course.

I have read a lot about Da Vinci Code in the newspapers, but have not read the book. But i am curious to know was Jesus really married to Mary Magdelene ?? If not then why is she seen in the last Supper and she was also shown in the Movie Passion of the Christ. Pls tell me more about this.

Its just a fiction, an ordinary novel.\nThe Truth Of The Matter:\n\nBrown can be challenged in at least two areas: (1) There are things he claims to be historical which, in fact, are not historical at all; and (2) he completely misrepresents biblical history. Let us briefly consider these two points:\n\n(1) There are things Brown claims to be historical which, in fact, are not historical at all. A primary case in point is the Priory of Sion, an organization that is at the very heart of Brown's story, and which, if proven to be based on bogus history, undermines the entire infrastructure of Brown's theory. This organization is said to guard the secret of Jesus' marriage to Mary Magdalene. It is claimed to have been founded in Jerusalem in 1099 by a French King. The organization is believed to be watching over Jesus and Mary's descendants, and waiting for the perfect time to reveal its secret to the world. Because of constant threat of danger from the Roman Catholic Church, the organization has allegedly hidden its message in literature, paintings, and even architecture such that only learned people can decipher the meanings.\n\nBrown makes the following assertion regarding this organization on page one of The Da Vinci Code: "The Priory of Sion—a European secret society founded in 1099—is a real organization. In 1975 Paris's Bibliotheque Nationale discovered parchments known as Les Dossiers Secrets, identifying numerous members of the Priory of Sion, including Sir Isaac Newton, Botticelli, Victor Hugo, and Leonardo da Vinci." The question is: Are these parchments reliable?\n\nAs a backdrop to answering this question, allow me to point out that Brown obtained much of his information on the Priory of Sion from a book entitled Holy Blood, Holy Grail, by Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh, and Henry Lincoln. In this book we find a dependency on the above–mentioned parchments which allegedly prove that Jesus married Mary Magdalene, had a baby named Sarah, and, following Jesus' death on the cross, Mary relocated to a Jewish community in France. Their descendents were French allegedly royalty.\n\nNow, here is the big problem with all this. These parchments are completely bogus. Historically, in 1953, a Frenchman named Pierre Plantard spent time in jail for fraud. In 1954 he founded a small social club named the Priory of Sion. The purpose of the club was to call for low–income housing in France. The organization dissolved in 1957, but Plantard held on to the name. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Plantard put together a number of bogus documents which "proved" the Jesus–Mary Magdalene theory, with French royalty being their descendants. Plantard claimed that he himself was one of the descendents of this couple.\n\nSome time later, a friend of the French president found himself in legal trouble and Plantard ended up being called to testify in the case. While under oath, the judge asked him about these documents about Jesus and Mary Magdalene, and he admitted he made the whole thing up. An associate of Plantard's also conceded that Plantard made the whole thing up. All this has been thoroughly documented by several French books and a BBC special.2


who will be the number one pick in the nba draft??

no u guys are all wron its LaMarcus Aldrige!!!!!!!\nwhats up with that da durp dee do puchump puchump question?


well, this is kinda complicated so here goes...my friend just graduated from college and lives about 200 miles away (I'm in the northern part of the state and he's from the southern part). We both have feelings for each other but since he graduated we decided not to act on them since the chances of us seeing each other again are pretty slim.  He is adamant about getting a job up here so we can still see each other but the field he's it's hard to find a job around here.  So, here goes the question, I still have about two more years of college to go...is he worth keeping in contact with or should I just let the relationship tamper off? We're both close to each other but we are not a couple (even though are friends swear we are) and I don't want to get involved in a long distance relationship b/c him coming up here is hard now that he's at home...basically we communicate through messenger and the phone...I don't want to get hurt, any suggestions or recommendations?

It can work out if you two had a strong relationship before separating.  I was in a faithful (If you are sure he is the one for you--and he feels the same way--then I would not recommend getting into another relationship) long distance relationship of 2500 miles for over a year, and we stayed in contact by phone (we each had Cingular phones, so there was no long distance charge).  She lived in Reno, NV and I moved to Knoxville, TN.  After she finished her degree, she moved to be with me and we are together today.\n\nI hope everything works out for you :o)


ok i like this guy whos cute and nice. how do i flirt without looking stupid or upsessive?

I think u have done a lot of study, but it was good laugh


I haven't found any specific research on your specific question. However, my best educated guess would tell me no. Anemia is caused by either losing a large amount of blood,losing a large amount of red blood cells, iron deficiency, or some other underlining disease (such as kidney failure). If your child is anemic and having trouble with his/her eyes, I would discuss your concerns with your pediatrician and your eye doctor. These two things together, may be the beginning of another problem, such as diabetes.


Im a transexual from the Philippines, and im a very sweet type of person,,,im totally different with anyone else coz maybe its becoz of the culture that we do have here in our country, i act just like a real one and conservative too. do you think there could be someone whom i can meet and would trully accept me as i am?

In the US, you should be able to buy them at most grocery stores during the summer when these are grown.


i need to find this in order to calculate the reynolds number for laminar flow

You have to decide the velocity. You need to keep Re<2000. You know the diameter of the pipe, u need to know the coefficient of viscocity. Velocity range is to be calculated by putting all these quantities in the equation for Re, keeping Re between 0 and 2000. Then the velocity is to be controlled in that range.


My man and I have been 2gether for awhile! I show all the affection that I can 2wards him. I tell him how much I luv him all the time. He usually ask me why I luv him & how do I know I luv him. It's a feeling that I can't describe. If there's any 1 out there that has ne suggestions on what I should say 2 him 2 make him feel more secure about the way I feel about him, it would really help ALOT!

there are many ways..\n1. say " <hisname> i love you" , close ur eyes, and kiss him on his lips..\n2. show him that you can change urself for him...as in if he doesnt like s'thing in u or likes s'thing..then change that habit or incorporate(the thing he likes) in urself...\n3. put in constant effort to look better and better...and also, keep ur self fit...(good for u too)\n4. learn to cook sthing that he really enjoys eating...\n5. subtly bitch about other men in front of him.. and more importantnly, NEVER praise any other man in front of him...\n6. tell him that u will be with her even if he looses all his money.. and all his looks (just say this.. and he will know taht u love her..)\n7. dont be greedy...once in a while settle for less expensive gifts...\n8. and this is the MOST important thing...TRY and SEE his point of view... u need not agree.. but just try and see.. and then repeat it to him...\n9. and if he still wants more...ask me back... u have my email id :-)\n10. Best of luck,.. (ur asking this question is proof enough that u love him...show him this link..! :-)


I agree with him for the most part, The question is. Where have I gone wrong? So very wrong.

That depends what your definition of "amnesty" is. lol.\n\nIt was a "measured" speech and I think his base will be angered by it as he is not being tough enough (for them), I did see a twinkle of compassion in it. You haven't gone wrong, but BE CAREFUL when you're listening to used car salesmen, if you know what I mean. To get you back on track think of Iraq, domestic spying, oil (in so many ways), more money for the wealthy, all children left behind, cultural/racial polarization, "Dead Eye's" hijinx, Valerie Plame, trillions in debt, etc.

the athiest who answers a question posted by a christian in a respectful manner even though he doesn't agree with the christian, or the christian who calls someone a jackass because they don't like the question?

Very good question. \nbeing that christians are taught to be kind and accepting of everyone. The messages does not always get through. It's kinda funny to hear christians rant and rave and act very unchristian like.

what foods cause wrinkles and what foods dont

Sour and bitter foods cause wrinkles because your face scrunches up when eating them.  Like lemons, persimmons, artichokes, etc.


Since matter can't be created nor destroyed, if you were able to take the atomic weight of the world 1 million years ago, would it be the same as it is today? Excluding anything that left the earth and did not return (satellites, etc). Even with all the people, buildings, houses, cars - are they all just bi-products of previous matter?

Excluding any matter leaving the Earth (satellites) and entering the Earth (meteors), yes.  We are all the by-product of millions of years of evolution and environmental recycling, and could very well be sharing atoms with ancestral monkeys.

create a link with a certain page,not the homepage of a site.

The only reason your link would end in .com is if you *were* linking to the hompage of a site.  A website is basically a collection of files, with one file being designated to always load when you view the homepage.  It is normally named index.html but can be any number of extensions (like Microsoft Word Documents versus Notepad text documents).  A website is like a folder on your computer: there can be any number of different files or folders in it.  A certain level in the folders is designated as the root, and folders branch off from there: http://answers.yahoo.com contains the "questions" folder, which is accessed by using http://answers.yahoo.com/questions/, and anything under the questions folder is accessed by adding the filename to the end, after the slash: http://answers.yahoo.com/questions/1.txt

YOu know how if you drop a cat it always lands on its feet?\nand you know how if you spread peanut butter on a slice of bread and drop it it always lands PB down? What would happen if you strapped a PB sandwich to the back of a Cat and then dropped it?  Would it hover

omg! I can't believe this! XD\nWell... If the cat is very thropid, it will land on it's back and will ruin the sandwich... You shouldn't do it! >_<\nBut the cat always lands on it's feet... And by the way, you should also think of a tie between the two forces! lol


A flowmeter (contacting head water meter) which generates a pulse every 10 gallons is connected to a timer which runs for 30 seconds every time it gets a pulse from the meter.\n\nThe timer energizes a metering pump which has a maximum capacity of 22 gallons per day. The metering pump is dispensing a product which weighs 10 pounds per gallon.\n\nIf 1 pound of product per 1000 gallons of water results in a dosage of 120 parts per million, at what percentage output (0 - 100%) must we set the metering pump to achieve a 600 part per million application rate? Show your calculations below.

In order to achieve 600 ppm, \n600/120 pound= 5 pound product should be added to 1000 gal water.\n∴ In 10 gallon water, 5 pound * 10/1000 = 0.05 pound of product should be added. This is to be added in 30 seconds.\n\nHence, the flow rate of product is: 0.05/(1/2) = 0.1 lb/minute = 0.1 *60*24 lb/day = 144 lb/day * 1 gal/10 lb = 14.4 gal/day \n  \n\n⇒ %output = (14.4 gal/day)/(22 gal / day) = 65.45.. ←Answer

Of course i love him! "good bye my lover" is such a sad song :(. and in the "youre beautiful" video...if i just saw pictures of him with his clothes on ....i would have never thought he had THAT great body under his clothes!!! he's brilliant.


I have a friend who constantly talks bad about Jewish people as though they were the anti-christ... ironically she's a Muslim. She also tells me that she thinks the Holocaust never happened... which is bull s*** to me. Can someone PLEASE educate me on why Muslims seem to have something against Jewish people? \n\nIs there anything I could say in the Jewish people's defense-- I'm in a corner when we are argue about this.

It's not just you.  I have also witnessed this and it greatly disturbs me.  You can go to a Muslim chatroom almost any time of day and find people insulting Jews.  If one wants to really insult someone in those rooms, they'll call them a "Jew" or "Jew-lover."  I get so mad.  They habitually deny the holocaust, and yet believe in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which has been proven to be a fabrication.  \n\nEarly in the Prophet Muhammad's career, there was a Jewish tribe that made a treaty with him.  But they broke the treaty.  Of course, they were probably not being treated as equals since they never converted to Muhammad's new religion.  But this set a very bad precedent, unfortunately for the Jews.  Because the Muhammad then recited verses of the Qur'an which were directed against "the Jews."  Of course, this more than likely meant THOSE Jews from that one tribe who had broken the treaty, and not Jews in general.  However, there are various verses in the Qur'an that seem like they are applying more generally to all Jews.  And there are some very very negative statements in there against Jews.\n\nFor example, the Qur'an says that the Jews had received a revelation from God, but that they twisted it and changed it, and to punish them, God turned them into detestable apes!  There is a statement in the Qur'an about the Jewish nose, implying it is crooked on account of sin.  There are whole suras (chapters) in there just going on and on about Jews and it is really NOT positive.\n\nThere ARE positive statements in the Qur'an about Jews.  But I do not think it outweighs the negative ones therein at all.\nThere was a time when Muslims and Jews got along better - when the Jews were subordinate to the Muslims.  As long as the Muslims were over the Jews, the Muslims were ok with Jews.  But when the Jewish state of Israel was created, everything went way downhill.  The Palestinians saw it as a takeover and an infiltration.  (even though it was Britain that had owned the land before).\n\nThere is a deep rift and it will take a lot to heal it, I'm afraid.


I am 5'4, dark blonde, have green eyes w/ blue lining which makes my eyes look almost blue at times, fair skin. I am shy but can be fun and bubbley. I love guys, but they don't love me and I don't know why. Ther longer guys don't like me the worse I feel about myself. It's gotten so bad that I cry  when I look in the mirror. I know that if I got a bf that I'd be able to make myself feel more confident and I just really love guys. I hate not being a stick. I'm working on my weight and in about 6 weeks maybe a lil over but under 7 weeks I've lost over 20 lbs so I am working on it. I'm not picky. I listed all the guys I like from my school and counted them and there were 19 so I'm not that picky at all. How can I get guys to like me? (No, I don't try to hard so no i dont come across as desperate.)

its a 14 year olds birthday party.for example 1:00pm to 7:pm howlong should it be.\n\nand any suggestions on what theme it should be?

It should only be as long as the activities you have planned. If you are going to eat, have cake and open presents, then it should only be 3-5 hours.

death penalty, gun ownership, warmongers, severly biased media, rigged elections, idiot president, crappy social services, regressive taxes, fundamentalist Christians\nMost of Americans I meet are smart and rationale. Do only the smart ones travel abroad?

everything you have said is true, fair enough i'm guessing by the smug superiority of your question that your possibly european of some description... \nits hardly fair to call america backwards... they are a bit mad, bigotted and obsessed with thier own self importance though and theres the obvious stupidity that will always be associated with the fact that they elected not one... two bush's


Like (1) Tea and biscuits\n     (2) cricket\n     (3) punting\n     (4) beef and yorkshire pudding\n     (5) Foxhunting

tea is good\nand yorkshire pudding is friggin really good but as for the rest of the stuff...it sucks wild monkey balls...perhaps american chicks dont like stuff like that bc its not part of their culture and bc well they are all activities and stuff from limey land...


i could swear we have a thing, we both flirt heavily, and all the signs are there.\n\nI could ask her, but it hard to get alone time with her, and id feel awkward asking in a class of people.\n\nI pretty much wanna know 2 things,  is it a strong relationship, and how long its been going.     Cant just ask that tho. \n\nMost time i am able to talk to her, i have wither my mates around or hers\n\nand for those that say leave them alone, or find someoen else, you must know that sometimes thats impossible, when ur in the unknown area

Just ease into the conversation.  Ask her if she has a bf, then say oh ya how long have yall been seeing eachother.  You have to be slick about it though.


She is never going to know when I get her back, for what she did.

Hey wisdom guy why don't you shut your fucking mouth I am her friend ...I think.... I'm really not sure on that yet


i am 18 yrs old and i am having overweight problem

do you want to get taller or lose weight? If its both, then you can try swimming. I (and other people too) have noticed that it stretches out my body; including my spine. It's helped me get a better posture and work out my entire body. In my opinion, i think it's better than other exercises because it keeps me cool. Hope this helps and good luck :)


for 7th grade i have 3 minutes to talk \n+i need some websites!!

Talk about something your are interested in.  Or something you could find out about and feel passionate about e.g. Why donating bone marrow is a good idea (Put Antony Nolan into google and you will find something.); Christians and Conservation (arocha.org); a place I would like to visit (just put in Cambridge or Kenya etc into Google and you will get lots of info.)


I am taking college classes and I have 24-27 credits total.

Yeah, that's about the minimum amount of credits after two full-time semesters.  I'd guess you're just over the boundary of being a sophomore, but it's a close call.


depends what you want to gain...\nI do know bench press will help you gain strenght, but it will give you that man-breast look...\nif you want to gain the cut muscle look bell fly works the best...\nchest shrugs are in the middle somewhere...best of both worlds so "mass gain" I dont know...good gain on both ends though


a girl that I used to mess around with and her ex which is one of my boyz get together all they do is fight im about to just beat his ass do you think I should he keaps talking shit to her and saying a bunch of fucked up shit to her and I am getting tired of just telling him to stop I think I should make him stop let me know what u think.

Man there is no way to stop them from fighting, because there is sexual tention subcontiously and vivid haitred toward each other, The thing you do is tell him to smarten his ass up, and if they get into it again tell them both about themselves. If he can't handel being around his ex he has to grow up, unless she took half of his estate Ha haa!! on the real it will never stop 100% but you can control it in your presence by being vocal about the whole situ.


Does UN has an international legal personality?\n\nIf it does, can it stand on itself to suit other States?\n\nAlso, does the UN personnels have any privilege and/or immunity against States which are not party to any of the conventions?

Yes, the UN does have limited legal personality (Reparations Case) as functional neccessity requires. It it not a State, but has standing to bring a claim against sovereign States.


I just sold my ipod nano for the same price i bought it for. I also have a canon s2is that i need to sell. I was planning on buying a nikon d50 and an ipod video with the money i made from selling my canon s2is and my ipod nano but since i havent sold my camera yet i am not sure what i should put the money torwards, buying the nikon camera or the ipod video.

If you have enough money, buy both, that way you won't be worried about what to buy. If you don't want to do that, then just think about which one you would need, and/or want more!! Hope that helps!


I heard that if you did cardio before weights it uses up energy ( or something) that would be needed to build up muscle. What is the best way for me to lose weight. Is it a mixture of weights or should I jst do cardio.

I'd switch off doing some sort of aerobic workout (i.e. running, jogging, biking, swimming, etc.) and alternate that with weight training. The purpose of including aerobic exercise in your exercise routine is to burn a lot of calories; the weight training helps strengthen and give more shape to your muscles. Doing those both in combination, you'll actually be able to see the new muscle that you're building, instead of it being hidden by a layer of fat.

I really don't mind him playing sometimes, but sometimes he plays 5 hours or more straight.  Would you just care for the children and just let him play or would you say something to him?

im not married, but i used to play online quite a bit, it did get addicting but after a while it lost its appeal to me, so maybe that will happen with him too....Tell him, that you think he is spending to much time playing games and you want him to spend more time with you and the kids.


I really like this girl and i wrote up this quiz and sent it to all my contacts... she described me almost exactly how she did, like what she pictures in a boyfriend... now she was talking to me a couple days ago about her previous relationship and she asked me if i kissed a girl before and all this sorta perasonal stuff\n\nI AM 16 YEARS OLD....... just telling you\n\nNow i've been writing some poems recently for her about my mood at the current time towards her\nand she said that they were really cute\n\nNow.. should i write one more really "cute" poem to her then ask her out after or what should i do ???

yeah, write another poem =] it sounds like things are going well and theres a really good chance she'll say yes if you ask her out..good luck! =]


My friend likes my boyfriend and she's always all over him; either having her head on his shoulder or touching him etc. I don't know what to do, I don't think my friend knows the guy is my boyfriend but we're all good friends and I don't want her to feel like the third wheel. I trust my boyfriend and I don't think he'll cheat on me, but my friend is really starting to annoy me. Is there anything I can do??

If your friend doesn't know that you and your boyfriend are an item, then she is doing nothing wrong.  You need to tell her because if she thinks she has a chance with him and she doesn't she runs the risk of getting hurt.


I'm 13 years old and i'm 5'6".  I weigh 115lbs.  Is that to much?

At your age and height, 115 is a perfect weight.  And, weight is relative anyway.  What is important is what makes up the weight that you carry.  For instance, lean, trim muscle weighs more than fat, so a person without a lot of excess fat on their body is going to actually weigh more than the same-size person who has a lot of excess fat.  So, what you really need to be concerned with is your physical well-being.  Are you in good shape?  That's a much more important question than what you weigh.  I'd say that as long as you are in good shape and not carrying around a lot of excess fat, you're doing fine.


if i jumped out of a moving car, since my body moves in an arch, at the zenith of my jump im not moving sideways, so theoretically i should just go straight down, correct? \n\n\nessentially, is falling all because of the fear in mind?

i.e. the annual salary for new teachers in L.A., New York, Chicago, etc?

In Canada, it's $36 000.00 per year without a degree (just your teaching license) or $46 000.00 per year with a degree BA or BSc and your teaching license.  Also, if you have a double degree, or a master's degree the starting salary is even higher.  \n\nThat's much higher than $14.00 per hour.


Topics that I could find a lot of inforamtion about and that is easy to understand.

Acids & bases is pretty easy to understand. You could probably find quite a bit of stuff too, about their properties, indicators, things they're used for, all that stuff. Or you could try energy. It may be a little harder, but you could go on forever about energy. What types of energy there are (thermal kinetic, mechanical kinetic, radient, gravitational potential, electrical potential, chemical potential), how energy changes between forms, pahses changes in matter (because of energy), on and on and on. Hope that helps.


Is losing 50lbs extreme.  Looking at me, no one ever says I'm fat, but I certainly feel that way.  What's the safest amount of weight to lose for my height and how do I do it?

Losing 50 pounds is extreme, in my opinion. You probably shouldn't go below 140 to 145 considering you say the weight is not apparent to look at you. Certain body types (mesomorphic or endomorphic) require excess "baggage" for the body to function properly. If you were to binge-diet your way down to 120 lbs too quickly, your body would go into shock, or "starve-mode," and you would end up gaining that weight right back. \n\nBest advice for losing weight: Eat small healthy meals frequently. Examples of small, healthy meals: raw veggies and fat-free Ranch dip, rice cakes with f/f peanut butter (there's your AM protein), apples and oranges are a great way to energize mid-morning, bean-dip (made with f/f refried beans or garbanzos) with whole-grain tortilla chips - the list goes on and on. \n\nEat a properly portioned, sensible dinner. You can have some good "home-cooking," so long as you watch the butter, salt, grease, and fried foods. Steamed veggies are good. Avoid red meat and eat more fish, especially tuna and salmon. \n\nFinally, keep active. Get on the treadmill or take brisk walks at least 4 times a week. Keep your heart rate up - don't stop to take a break. Once you're settled in cardio, you can do some area-specific exercises to firm up muscles. \n\nGood luck!


A light year is 5.9x10^12 miles and Alpha Centuri is 2.5x10^14 miles away. If your friend stood on the surface of Alpha Centuri and waved, how long would it be until you could see it from the earth?

From now until hell freezes over. No telescope yet invented has that kind of magnification. Besides, Alpha Centuri is a star and your friend couldn't get within miles of it without being vaporized.


Wouldn't it be nice if i were the last guy on earth?

between a bunch of gays instead of women?


can you include details as in what to follow and what food is the best

nothing works instantly you just need to exercise and eat right and try getting off the damn computer and go outside and do something active


I believe the process may be different from state to state. For example, if somebody driving a car with tags from Alberta (Canada) and gets pulled over and is cited by the Florida Highway Patrol for speeding, it's less than likely that the issue will be pursued after the court summons is sent from Florida to Alberta, which is quite a distance, around 3,500 miles. Conversely, if somebody from Montreal is pulled over from the New York Highway Patrol on I-87 (which is only about an hour's drive away), I've read somewhere that certain border states have treaties with border provinces to pursue the offender. \n\nPersonally, I had such an experience, and here's how it went down:\n\nI was living in a Southern state (say, maybe immediately north of South Carolina) and was driving to Montreal, Quebec, to visit some friends. Despite my radar detector use, a Pennsylvania State trooper, using instant-on radar (which pretty much renders your radar detector useless), nabbed me at 87 MPH in a 65 MPH zone. At the time, I had just obtained my driver's license from the afore-mentioned southern state, but I still also had my driver's licence from Quebec as it hadn't expired yet. On a whim, I gave the trooper my Canadian driver's licence, and he used that info to ticket me for $230. The trooper was actually pretty cool about it by telling me that "...if I didn't pay, they weren't gonna come chasing me all the way up there." Well, having little money (and no scrupules), I didn't pay the ticket, which was sent to my Dad's address in Canada. Six months later, an arrest warrant in my name was sent to my Dad's place, which was in effect for 24 months. For obvious reasons, I stayed the hell away from PA during that time, the arrest warrant expired, and my speeding ticket erased from the records of the PA State Police. Actually, I still kinda tighten up my PC muscles as I travel through PA to this day. Please don't tell on me! :)


Seems very double standard like that Mexico is barring non native workers, why they want our southern border wide open.  what do you think should northern mexico just become the 51st state?

Mexico is shaking in thier boots because 1 thier secont biggest economy is money transfers from US to mexico if we cap off illegal immigration it will be a huge hit to thier economy---2 there is mass immigration from south america through mexico to get to the US if we do a better job on our borders they will be hit will a huge influx of illegal immigrant of thier own,which they dont have an economy to support,Looks like its time for Mexico to do some serious soul searching or they are the ones in big trouble

let's see...\n\nElectrical engineering... obviously the best (I'm one hehe)... the highest average salary of any type of engineer. They analyze circuits and the signals the circuits process. They can branch out into things like power supplying or microcomputers. There's a broad scope of things you can get into... if you like electronics you can use your knowledge to do research and development of fiber optics and telecommunications... if you like power generation you can deal with distribution.\n\nComputer engineers are just more specialized electrical engineers, with a little more background in computer science and how operating systems and processors work.\n\nNuclear engineers specialize in nuclear power and radioactive energy. One of the main cases of study for them is the effects of nuclear radiation on the environment.\n\nAerospace engineers are specialized in design of flying machines like airplanes and what not. They're big on physics and the aerodynamics of flight, as well as jet propulsion and fuel... they also dabble a little in electronics.\n\nBiomedical engineers are half electrical engineer / half biology major. They deal with equipment and contraptions that are effective for the medical industry. It's important that they have a background in medicine and electricity so they can put these together.\n\nMechanical engineers deal with the study of machines, motors, servos... just the manufacturing and usage of all kinds of moving parts in places from factories to cars.\n\nCivil engineers are specialized in the design of buildings and structures. The difference between an architect and a civil engineer is an architect can tell you what he wants to do but a civil engineer tells you what you CAN do. They do a lot of analysis on the stability of structures like bridges and roads and find a lot of work in government projects.\n\nIndustrial engineers are not technically "engineers," but are a cross between management majors and engineers, in  that they are geared towards the business side of manufacturing goods through industry. They have to have knowledge of the processes of manufacturing products as well as the business in the world market.

I know Mount Everest is 8850m (29000ft) high from sea level to its top. What I want to know is. What is the height of Mount Everest from its base (foothills) to its top, from where you start climbing untill you get to the summit. Only legit scientific answers please, no people trying to be funny or sarcastic. If there are any clever geologists on here please answer this question. As many answers as possible please, I have to know this for an assignment.

Radhanath Sikdar, an Indian mathematician and surveyor from Bengal, was the first to identify Everest as the world's highest peak in 1852, using trigonometric calculations based on measurements made with theodolites from 240 km (150 miles) away in India. Before it was surveyed and named, it was known as Peak XV to the survey team.\n\nThe mountain is approximately 8,848 m (29,028 feet) high, although there is some variation in the measurements. The mountain K2 comes in second at 8,611 m (28,251 feet) high. On May 22, 2005, the People's Republic of China's Everest Expedition Team ascended to the top of the mountain. After several months' complicated measurement and calculation, on October 9, 2005, the PRC's State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping officially announced the height of Everest is 8,844.43 m ± 0.21 m (29,017.16 ± 0.69 ft). They claimed it was the most accurate measurement to date.[3]. But this new height is based on the actual highest point of rock and not on the snow and ice that sits on top of that rock on the summit, so, in keeping with the practice used on Mont Blanc and Khan Tangiri Shyngy, it is not shown here. The Chinese also measured a snow/ice depth of 3.5 m [4], which implies agreement with a net elevation of 8,848 m. But in reality the snow and ice thickness varies, making a definitive height of the snow cap, and hence the precise height attained by summiteers without sophisticated GPS, impossible to determine.\n\nThe first measurement was with theodolites in 1856. Due to lack of access to Nepal at the time, it was measured from a distance. It was found to be exactly 29,000 feet (8,839 m), but declared to be 29,002 feet (8,840 m) high. The arbitrary addition of 2 feet (0.6 m) was to avoid the impression that an exact height of 29,000 feet was nothing more than a rounded estimate.\n\nThe elevation of 8,848 m (29,028 ft) was first determined by an Indian survey in 1955, made closer to the mountain, also using theodolites. It was subsequently reaffirmed by a 1975 Chinese measurement [5]. In both cases the snow cap, not the rock head, was measured. In May 1999 an American Everest Expedition, directed by Bradford Washburn, anchored a GPS unit into the highest bedrock. A rock head elevation of 8,850 m (29,035 feet), and a snow/ice elevation 1 m (3 ft) higher, were obtained via this device [6]. Nepal, however, did not officially recognize this survey, and the discrepancy with the above mentioned 2005 Chinese survey is significantly greater than the surveys' claimed accuracy.\n\nIt is thought that the plate tectonics of the area are adding to the height and moving the summit north-eastwards. Two accounts, [7], [8] suggest the rates of change are 4 mm per year (upwards) 3-6 mm per year (northeastwards), but this account[9] mentions more lateral movement (27 mm), and even shrinkage has been mooted [10].\n\nEverest is the mountain whose summit attains the greatest distance above sea level. Two other mountains are sometimes claimed as alternative "highest mountains on Earth". Mauna Kea in Hawaii is highest when measured from its base; it rises over 9 km (5.6 mi) when measured from its base on the mid-ocean floor, but only attains 4,170 m (13,681 ft) above sea level. The summit of Chimborazo in Ecuador is 2,168 m (7,113 ft) farther from the Earth's centre (6,384.4 km or 3,967.1 mi) than that of Everest (6,382.3 km or 3,965.8 mi), because the Earth bulges at the Equator. However, Chimborazo attains a height of 6,267 m (20,561 ft) above sea level, and by this criterion it is not even the highest peak of the Andes.\n\nThe deepest spot in the ocean is deeper than Everest is high: the Challenger Deep, located in the Mariana Trench, is so deep that if Everest were to be placed into it there would be more than 2 km (1.25 mi) of water covering it.\n\nThe Mount Everest region, and the Himalayas in general, are thought to be suffering ice-melt due to global warming.

Additional Detail\n\n2 minutes ago\nthats an iffy i dont know the guy her moms been seeing him for like 2 months,and she likes to go to bars with him and her mom alot so i am afraid cause she said shes gonna drink but didnt say with who or where.she doesnt want to stay with me cause she just moved from here and she said she hates my house and it makes her depressed and all that,shes realy gullable and easily gets romanced. he lies and makes **** up,hes a jealous person,he got in a fight so hes not going to be going to work either so thier going to be together fulltime,should i trust him?i trust her.but her mom is going to rehab for two weeks he moved in with them after like 2 months,what the outcome gonna be?

First of all you don't LET her do anything. She is an adult and will make her own decision. \nIf you are so worried, offer to stay there with her or ask her to stay with a friend. Or ask her to deal with your place just for the 2 weeks. \nIf something happens, then you shouldn't be with her anyways.


It depends on the location of the transmission lines. The electrical power is usually brought to domestic consumers  at 11 kv or 11,000 volts and the same is brought down to 440 volts by transformers, for three phase distribution lines. To bigger industrial installations, the power may brought at 33 kilo volts also.  From generating power stations, the electricity is sometimes transported by upping it even to 400 kv sometimes. Higher voltage means lower current for the same power to be transported with a given cable which will cause less resistive heating i.e. less power loss in the transmission cables.


I have been doing the basic filing of paperwork & billing for them since the beginning of Feb this year, His mother has been doing the books. She knows alot more about running a business than I do, as for me, well I know computers, A/R & billing. We were having a conversation earlier about running a successful business, I gave her my opinion & things were blown very quickly out of proportion. He can't afford to pay the drivers by the books, so he pays them under the table, I simply stated it would be hard to get a good start on a business by lying & cheating the government. What are your opinions on it?

I'm pretty sure he can pay those drivers as independent contractors and give them a 1099. They would be responsible for all the taxes and what not. That would not be cheating the government. He needs to be honest with the drivers though and let them know he will be giving them a 1099 and they will be responsible for the taxes. Talk to a tax preparer.

I have someone that i love so much, but i'm scared that he is too good to be true. I have a lot of insecurities about myself. So should I be worried or should i just shut up and be greatful that I have someone great?

everybody has their own insecurities and doubt that they deserve anything good that happens to them. somethings are too good to be true, but if you can touch it and it makes you feel good about yourself, then go with the flow! if you start questioning it or doubting it, it will fall apart because you will let your insecurities take over.\n\nif this guy loves you as much as you love him, then he will already be aware of these insecurities of yours and help you overcome them. give it a chance and make yourself believe that you deserve this.


I eat pretty healthy (veggies, chicken, fish...) and I eat lots of fruit. I LOVE fruit and I eat like 8-10 servings a day. Mostly grapes and oranges. I have heard that you can gain weight from eating too much fruit becuz fruit has lots of sugar... is this true?  Is there any other way eating too much fruit can be harmful to your health? Sometimes I eat more fruit than anything else in the day.

thats good that u eat a lot of fruit . fruits contain sucrose which is a form of glucose . it willnot increase ur weight even if u eat a lot of fruits . as most of fruit contain vitamin c which will be lost with in few hours in the form of sweat and urine . i would like to suggest to eat protein rch items like soyabeans to increase ur weight and increase ur muscles


I'm a mom and I want to know what you think

tell me why? they didnt do anything to u they are just strong folowers...so why is everyone so negitive about islam? please serious answers.

because people are ignorant and believe everything they see in the news. ISLAM is not responsible for the terrorists. Islam represents Peace. There are people who call themselves Christian, but still do horrible things like murder people, etc. Every religion has its bad apples, and it should not just be limited to Islam.


Because i am 13 and i gave him a note saying i liked him and if you like me right it down and he said Hell No and he said i looked like King Kong which i don't and he said i was to tall for him and i don't know how to go up to him and say stop saying that stuff please!

SLAP HIM!!! us guys have no right to do that. Even if i think a chick looks nasty as hell i dont say it. That is rude. wheres he live ill teach him manners, and scare him to death. Someone should kick his ass. Sorry for the laungage.\nJake s

My husband pleaded no contest to a dui even though he wasn't driving. He was fined $5000, 3 years unsupervised probation, + a alcohol program. This is a misdomenor charge. Since 3/15/06 the doctors took my husband off of work. Since then along with almost being on the streets, we just got custody of my grandson. We have applied for all of the programs there are up here. There isn't any help for a man up here who blindness came on to suddenly. We want to go home to be around family. So can any one tell me if they will transport him back to Alaska. We have become desprate. And please don't try to tell me how to live my life in your answers.

I doubt there is anyone here who will be able to answer this question 100%...if there is, I haven't seen that person yet.\n\nHowever, I can give you an educated guess although I'm not positive I understand your question.  I'll make some guesses, first:  \n\nI'm guessing the DUI was in Alaska, and you want to move down to the lower 48?  \n\nI'm also guessing he still has fines to pay and the alcohol program left to do?  \n\nAnd lastly, I'm guessing that by moving from Alaska, your husband intends to disregard what the Court ordered him to do there in Alaska? (pay the fines and go to the program).\n\nHaving made all those guesses, some discussion is in order  (because the issue of transportation might be moot):\n\nYour husband might very well be able to legally move out of state, attend the DUI program in another state, and make his fine payments from somewhere else.  If you will be able to afford those things (sounds like times are tough), then he needs to get back to Court and talk to the judge.  In California, DUI folks can be allowed to do their programs in another state and the court isn't going to care where you're sending the fine payments from so that won't be an issue.\n\nIf your husband's unsupervised probation requires that he not leave the state, that's going to be an issue.  Again, talking to the judge might allow for some leeway on this issue.\n\nSo those are the issues I see if your husband wants to work *with* the Court to try and keep things above-board.\n\nIf what your husband wants or needs to do is just leave the state and ignore his legal obligations to the State of Alaska, then you do need to know about extradition from another state.\n\nI don't know what Alaska does about outstanding arrest warrants (because if your husband does not hold up his end of the bargain, that's almost certainly what will happen).  I know that I have seen arrest warrants from just about every state in the union EXCEPT Alaska, so maybe they don't spend much money bringing people back to their state when warrants are issued.  \n\nI also know that the farther you are from Alaska, the less likely your husband is to be arrested and extradited back.  California, for example, might extradite someone from Nevada for a misdemeanor, but probably not from Florida.  Just too expensive, and they can issue a warrant and wait for the person to either come back to California or to stay in Florida.  Oregon does this all the time...they issue a warrant and put it into the computer, but will not extradite them from California unless it is a very serious crime.  Oregon seems to have figured out that leaving their criminals in some other state is beneficial for them.\n\nSo really, the very best answer I can give you is to have your husband go back to court and talk to the judge.  Be prepared to prove all the things you said here (like have a copy of whatever document you have that allows you to have custody of your grandchild, and have something from the doctor that says your husband is legally blind, etc).  It may very well be that the judge will allow him to leave the state, provided he continues to meet his obligations to the State of Alaska.  \n\nIf he can't do that, then have him at least try to do the alcohol program before you leave.  With that done, there's one less reason to argue he should be brought back to the state.  \n\nIf he can't or won't do anything the court ordered, get as far away from Alaska as you can.\n\nBest of luck for you both.  And God bless you for taking on the responsibility of your grandson.


when people say skate shoes rip easily what do they mean, how does it rip

Skate shoes are vulnerable in two main places (from my experience): the toe cap and the sole. These two areas are most commonly exposed to abrasion. The toe cap is most often used for ollies or kickflips and their variations, tricks that require the abrasion of the shoe along the griptape to flip or carry the board up in an ollie. The sole is most often used to push (on the ground to get speed), which obviously causes abrasion, and for some, used for stopping (some people hang their heel off the end of their board and push down their heel, dragging it on the ground to stop). Others expose the side of the sole to abrasions on the griptape near the heel area for heelflip variations. Toe caps "rip" because of these abrasions on griptape. Eventually, these rips will produce holes, leaving the toes exposed. Soles on cheaper skate shoes can rip (off the side mainly) if they're really worn (e.g., Lakai manchester's soles are rather vulnerable, but they're cheap and I like em :-).


it's about love and love is something that you can never explain the whys.it' not only about sex.you feel comfortable,secure,loved,respected but it's very hard to live 'cos you can not kiss your girl friend in public like you can kiss your boyfriend.most people still think it's wrong and taboo.it's not as long as you really know what you feel,what you want and know what you have to deal with.mostly the common reason is that she hurt by men.lost the trust.lost the will to start over again.it doesn't happen all at once it takes time to understand what you want.i think suddenly you feel ready to confess what you'd been hiding deep inside you.the confession of that you may have feelings to a woman or maybe you always had but you couldn't tell it even to yourself.there is no long or many explanations of your question.it's all about love...


why does it really matter how we young'uns spell on the computer anyways?! we can spell...sometimes its just easier and better we spell the way we do right? am i right?.....holla...and uhhh....dont be a dumbass and ASK what i just asked lol that gets pretty lame and stupid!...

It isn't a big deal to me how you choose to spell your words.  However, I will tell you that you should take every chance you get to work on your grammar and spelling because as an adult it will play a big part in how successful you are in life.

I helped my daughter and her friend with an art project honoring their respective mothers for a Mother's Day Gift. Later that week, I received a hand written note from my daughter's friends mother telling me how special it was to her, and thanking me for doing that with her daughter. Do I acknowledge receiving this note in any way, and if so, how? Or is completely unnecessary?

No!!\nJust No.\nShe's Thanking you!\nNext time you see her...don't mention the\nthank you note...say...\nI'm glad you liked the mother's day gift your daughter made.

TOM CRUISE-why do you think this katie thing happened!


I have taking a preganacy test and it came back negtive.

Not having a period for 3 months is not something to stress yourself out about. .. Stress is the leading cause of female problems. Lack of activity is also a cause. Weight gain or loss can also be another problem. Illnesses can also as well... Doctor's say that woman should at least have 3-4 periods a year. If we don't have at least that. We are doubling our risk for Ovarian Cancer. Periods are shedding our cervix lining.. without the period our lining continues to grow .. running the risk of problems.Talk to your gyno or family doctor. They can check to see if there is other problems contributing to irregular periods. They will check for Endemetreouises. and Poly cystic Ovaries. and any other possible problems. Good luck and let me know how your doing.

I had been all ready to go to Outfitters and Guide School in Montana.

We have been seperated for almost 1yr now, we talk on a daily basis, I really miss him and so does our daughter!  When i think that the things are different he always seems to prove me wrong.

If you have any gut feeling that he MAY cheat again, then don't try to reconcile.\n\nRemember - it's better for your daughter to be FROM a broken home than IN a broken home.\n\nInstead, work on creating a wonderful parent-partnership with him and provide support and encouragement for his relationship with your daughter.\n\nAnd....find a love that delivers all that you deserve!  A man that will be a good example to you daughter on how a man should treat a woman so that she grows up to find a man with his same attributes.


Ok i worded my last question a little wrong sorry.Why is it ok in the media to put christianity down with no reprocusions?,and why is it ok to put down the white race,and terrible to say anything about other races of people?I am quite offended!

For one simple reason ;  as long as political powers are capable of altering peoples perceptions and divide them into groups, they can gain political power.  By inspiring the perception of seperation between ethnic gropus they create an us vs. them mentality.  They then use this mentality to inspire people that only those who created this false seperation can represent them fairly. So while you are offended for what people say about your group, they feel the same for what some in your group said of them.  Ridiculous isn't it?


and if israel has nukes why cannot other countries have nukes too??

The world's best-known and most  efficient 'secret' manufacturer of weapons of mass destruction  is not Iraq, not even North Korea, but the barbaric zionist enclave in Palestine. A nuclear, biological and chemical  warfare programme that even the Israeli Knesset cannot get  access to, let alone the United Nations.  In September 1986, Mordechai Vanunu, a technician at  Israel's Dimona nuclear site, revealed to the Sunday Times  that the nuclear military programme based there had produced  'over 200' nuclear warheads. Days later he was tricked into flying to Rome where he was  abducted by Mossad agents and secretly transported to Israel.  In November 1986, he was tried in camera and sentenced to 18  years' imprisonment, 14 of which were spent in solitary  confinement.\nIn 1999, in response to a petition from Yediot Ahronot  newspaper, the government released about 40 per cent of the  trial documents.\nThe Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists estimates that Israel  has the world's fifth largest stockpile of nuclear warheads  (more than Britain, which it believes has 185).\nIn February 2000, Knesset member Issam Mahoul said Israel  had '200 to 300' nuclear weapons; in August of that year, the  Federation of American Scientists said that Israel could have  produced 'at least 100 nuclear weapons, but probably not  significantly more than 200'; the Stockholm International  Peace Research Institute estimates 200. Other sources, including Jane's Intelligence Review,  estimate between 400 and 500 thermonuclear and nuclear  weapons.\nWhat Dimona is to Israel's nuclear programme, the Israeli  Institute for Biological Research (IIBR) at Nes Ziona is to  its chemical and biological warfare (CBW) programme. The  high-security facility is absent from aerial survey  photographs and maps, on which it has been replaced by orange  groves.\nExcept for token visits to Dimona by a Norwegian team in  1961 and a US team in 1969, there has been no international  scrutiny. Even the Knesset is denied access.\nHowever, the 1993 report by the Office of Technology  Assessment for the US Congress states that Israel has  'undeclared offensive chemical warfare capabilities' and is  'generally reported as having an undeclared offensive  biological warfare programme'.\nAnthony Cordesman of the Centre for Strategic and  International Studies states that Israel has conducted  extensive research into gas warfare and is ready to produce  biological weapons.\n\nAccording to an exhaustive study by Karel Knip, a Dutch  journalist, the IIBR's work has included the synthesis of  nerve gases such as tabun, sarin and VX.\n\nThe October 1992 crash an of El Al cargo plane in Amsterdam  that caused at least 47 deaths and caused hundreds of  immediate and subsequent mysterious illnesses led to the  disclosure in 1998 that flight LY1862 was carrying chemicals  including 50 gallons of dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) - enough to produce 594 pounds of sarin. The DMMP was supplied  by Solkatronic Chemicals Inc of Morrisville, Pennsylvania, and  was destined for the IIBR.\n\nAvner Cohen has catalogued reported uses of biological  weapons by Jewish forces during the 1948 war in Palestine. The  Israeli historian Uri Milstein alleged that 'in many conquered  Arab villages, the water supply was poisoned to prevent the  inhabitants from coming back.' Milstein states that one of the largest of such covert operations caused the typhoid outbreak  in Acre in May 1948.\n\nThe Palestinian Arab Higher Committee reported in July 1948  that there was some evidence that Jewish forces were  responsible for a cholera outbreak in Egypt in November 1947  and in Syrian villages near the Palestinian-Syrian border in  February 1948.\n\nIn May 1948, the Egyptian ministry of defence stated that  four 'zionists' had been captured while trying to contaminate  artesian wells in Gaza with 'a liquid which was discover

shouldnt all others attack US cause they are the ones who really threat all the time?

I don't think Iran should be invaded by the U.S. because if you notice, this is why the United States is facing so many problems now-they've been trying to invade too many countries and change them into a replica of us!  Have you noticed that ever since Bush came into office our country has been plagued with so many hardships.  Lives are lost unnecessarily and gas prices are ridiculous! The U.S. should leave Iran (and any other country for that matter) alone! Can we please just have some peace and get along?!


I just heard that the commisioner is thinking of changing the format of the Playoffs that could ruin the NBA playoffs as we know it . \n\nMy proposal : \n\n1. Playoffs should only include SIX teams from each conference . ( This would eliminate the  teams  with an under .500 record making it in ) \n2. The  teams that win their division will automatically be either Seed 1 or 2 . Depending on the better record ( The way its set up now , why even have divisions in the NBA when it doesnt even matter if you win it ) \n3. You should get something for winning your division ; so the top 2 seeded teams would get the first Round off . So seeds 3 - 6 and 4 - 5 would play each other in the first round . (best of 5 Series )( Winners of those series would then play the 1 or 2 seeds) \n4. The rest of the playoffs remain the same ( Best of 7 series ) \n\nWhat do you think ?

Nope. All Wrong. \n\n1. This takes away the excitement of the first round, teams on the bubble of .500 or lower won't play as hard to provide upsets while trying to make it to the playoffs. Not too mention, it'll just make the NBA Playoffs shoot by way quickly... us NBA fans would consider that horrible. Did you realize that the Lakers and the Kings (7th & 8th seeds) gave the entire NBA a scare when they came extremely close to upsetting the Spurs and Suns (1st & 2nd seed)? This is why we watch and love playoff contigency. As a matter of fact, this is why fans of teams that don't make it to the playoffs still love watching the playoffs even though their teams  aren't in it!\n\n2) When a team wins their division, they are granted a certain amount of money to contribute to their salary for the next year. If they win the championships the get more money. However, they in turn get low draft picks. Check out teams like the Spurs, with an arsenal of seasoned players. That's why hey stick around.\n\n3) they get money. If 1st placers have the first round off, it just gets them much closer to winning it all. I bet it would be a 90% winning chance that 1st placers would make it all the way through... NOT EXCITING. Most of the good games would be played in the first round anyway between 4-5 and 3-6 teams. NBA would lose viewers after that, especially a 5 game series NOT FUN.\n\nIt just comes down to what would be more exciting... and when and where in the playoffs the MOST excitement would happen.\n\nCollege Football BCS however.... that sh*t needs help.


I mean am I an alien or something because I was abused? Why is it that I can't find a guy who can see past that? I am not a bad person but I do wish I could find someone that was understanding. It seems to be a hopeless search for me, I can't seem to find a guy that will see past the abuse and like me for who I am. I am 24 and this is really getting me down, I don't know what to do.

You don't state if these men are losing interest after you're involved with them or before you become involved with after telling them about your past.\n\nIn any case, if you tell men about your past before you become involved and they choose to not be involved with you then you're better off and they have the problem, not you.\nOn the other hand, for those men who knew and still chose to become involved and ultimately end up leaving the relationship then they're even worse and I would classify them as 'perverted users', thinking they would gain sexual advantage by playing on your weaknesses created from your past. Either way, you're better off without them too.\n\nBottom line is, as long as you're being honest with yourself and those you wish to become involved with then all you can do is to continue to be honest and wait for the man who will truly accept you as you are and all the baggage that may or may not come with you.\n\nPeople can be very cruel and without compassion in the world today and even finding true friends is often difficult. If you need a friend to talk to then feel free to make contact and keep your smile and hopes. It will get better for you I'm sure.\n\nBest Wishes

Okay, got a ticket, now how do I get out of it without paying major bucks and getting points on my lisence? Details... going 85 in a 65 in New Jersey...not in a construction zone... PLEASE HELP I am BROKE and need to do something!

In Texas, we have the option of taking a driver's safety course if you're not more than 24mph above the posted speed.  Also, I've gotten 11 speeding tickets, and have not been convicted of any.  A few of the techniques I've used:\n\n1.  Reschedule the court appearance.  If your appearance time is in the morning, let them know that you work mornings and need an evening appearance.  And vice-versa.  Once I was told that I needed to take a day off work - I told them I worked in a patient care area of a major hospital, and couldn't reschedule unless it was at least three months ahead of time.  They gave me the time I wanted.  Usually, cops work a specific shift - schedule your appearance outside that shift, and you lessen the chances they'll show up.\n\n2.  As others have suggested, ask for deferred adjudication.\n\n3.  Absolute last resort - skip the court date.  They will issue a warrant for your arrest.  Turn yourself in on Saturday evening.  You'll probably get a court appearance scheduled for Sunday.  If your cop happens to be working already, he's probably patrolling, and can't appear for court.  If not, his odds of coming in on his day off on one-day's notice are slim to none.  But you've got to be willing to spend the night in jail...\n\nGood luck!


I know i ask a questions like this before. i am having trouble trying figure out what to write for an essay that has to be at least 3 pages long. my two questiosn i have to pick from is :What can we do to reduce the amount of poverty in the US? or Why is there so much poverty in the US?\n. so yah if you could help that would be great. Talk to you all later.

Wow, this is such a great question! Really.  For me, the way to reduce poverty in the US (and anywhere in the world) is to GET PEOPLE EDUCATED.  Poverty is such a complex issue and it is a difficult challenge to address, but if you get people educated, the quality of lives around the world will change.  I mean, by getting people educated, you help them get to schools, get good jobs, take better care of themselves, prevent disease, etc.  It's so cool, really.\n\nThere are statistics that support how education can help reduce poverty.  I think some of them can be found on www.campaignforeducationusa.org --  Maybe when writing your paper, you can present the case for education being a good way to fight poverty, and then support that by showing all the ways that educating someone can actually help him/her improve the quality of his/her life.  Good luck.


do you want your mate big and smart or thin and dumb? \n\nExplain why?

well obviously big and smart.\n\nbecause being thin today is not a gurantee for the future however smartness is something which gets better with age.


just wondering? what about Herroine? or however you spell it

Yeah, weed dissintegrates your brain cells, leaving the person with fewer and fewer of them every time it is used.  And the person gets dumber and dumber, and more air-headed and just turns out to be a burned out pothead.  It also sloooowwwws down your thinking process by far after so long of using it and takes a person much longer to think about anything or even comprehend.
