An overwhelmingly large number of women have used/ are using birth control including those of faith. How can the church not know? Of course the church knows. The church knows that all its followers sin and created the entire concept of confession to atone for it. Ignoring the fact that there are medical reasons for taking birth control, besides contraception, the church has always acknowledged that all of its followers are sinners. And yes, birth control is likely to be one area they know about that they consider a sin....

Why do people say "to be honest" or "I have to be honest"? All it means is they are not honest the rest of the time. Although I can understand why you might conclude that, don't assume that's the case. Sometimes that phrasing is a predecessor to an confession, information the person suspects you might not know, or something you might find upsetting, confrontational or disagreeable to you. What they're about to say might also be contrary to what you'd expect them to normally say on the subject. It's like a...

Why do you have to be 21 to go to a casino but you can gamble on a lotter ticket at 18? Risk vs. Reward It's not worth risking their liquor license since few 18 year olds have sufficient funds to lose in the casino but many would attempt to drink illegally (all risk, little reward). Many casinos don't just serve alcohol, they give it freely. The age restriction makes for easier management. Once inside, they know everyone is of age. Lotteries don't mix alcohol with gambling,...

When a person dies in a hospital, how much time is the family allowed with the deceased before the body is taken? It depends on the hospital, whether an autopsy is desired, whether the deceased died in a regular room or intensive care unit (ICU), and the availability of vacant rooms in the hospital. As long as there is not an immediate need for beds, a regular room is usually not rushed. The ICU can have greater urgency in freeing up the room and specialized equipment. My mom passed in an ICU room at a...

It touches on some adult/relationship content that doesn't seem appropriate for younger children.

Answer to:
Why do my boobs look a lot smaller then they actually are? You need to understand the relationship between band sizes and cup sizes. When a manufacturer makes a smaller band size, they increase the cup letter size (the cup itself is NOT actually larger). For example, a 32C and a 34B fit the same volume breast. Manufacturers call this your 'sister size'. To visualize this concept, pick up a 40C bra and 32C bra and you'll see the the cups that hold the...

Is getting a nude massage considered cheating on wife? Friend is the masseuse and only I will be nude. It's free since she needs practice. No, massages are not cheating, but if your wife might be upset by it, I would recommend: 1) Discussing it with your wife beforehand. 2) There is no reason for the massage to be nude. Professionals have no problem with you wearing undergarments and a towel. It happens all the time. 3) If practice is needed, ask your friend to give a massage to your wife instead, or in addition to you...

Answer to:
People say stereotypes aren't true. But we all know that there are some that are... No, we don't. A stereotype is a popular belief about specific individuals. There lies the problem. Even if it is true most of the time about most of the specified people, it's unlikely it will ever be true consistently, so they are NOT something to be considered "true". No one wants to be lumped into a group of generalizations. We are all individuals.

Conservative..to conserve/preserve. Today's Conservative wants to destroy unions, gut social welfare safety nets. That's conservative? The term conservative is subjective, like any other. The underlying reason is because we need to determine WHAT we want to conserve and preserve.

As a teenager, it took about two weeks on a union job for me...

Such as, "Dinner provided, bring your own drinks" or "BYOB" (bring your own beverage/booze). Not all guests will want alcohol, so it's a little presumptuous to request they bring liquor (specifically) for themselves or others. And although it's generally not polite to solicit gifts, if you want the guests to bring liquor, probably the best way would...

Answer to:
when having a childrens 1st birthday party is it acceptable to ask guests to bring a dish and a gift? I don't think it's ever acceptable to solicit gifts. It's even less appropriate for very young children who are unlikely to understand or care. If you'd like to plan a celebration that centers around a meal, without providing one, word your invitation appropriately. Instead of sending the usual birthday party invitation, try something like "In honor of

In the case of wrong-doing, I wouldn't later want to be held as an accessory to a crime either. I have a right to know what's being brought back to my home.

When you have lost a spouse in an untimely manner, why is it so hard to readjust to life again? I imagine it would be a hard adjustment regardless of when the loss occurred. (There's got to be very few circumstances for a 'timely' death.) Death of a close loved one is a major change to one's way of life. When it's the person you expected to live out the rest of your days with, that would make it particularly hard to pick up and move on. If it was an easy adjustment, it wouldn't say much...

You don't just wake up an adult one day. You grow into it and that includes the benefit of wisdom that comes with life experiences and the respect you gain from demonstrating your maturity over time.

What does it mean to you when someone says you are obligated to him or her? Is there ever a time when obligation/duty does come into play? I'm a fairly literal person, so to me it means the person thinks I am required to take some course of action, whether legal or moral. It's only valid to me, however, in a fiduciary capacity (if legal or business related) or comes into play with immediate family as a matter of personal duty and responsibility.

I only feel the need to explain myself if the person I'm talking to doesn't seem to be understanding what I originally said.

In fact, I'd argue that in cases of deception, the deception usually comes first and any following explanation is done to support it, same as when the truth is being told.

Are your expectations of others set to high,low.no expectations or other? I think it's highly unrealistic to say one has absolutely no expectations. It's human nature to have some expectations. It's more likely people don't realize they had expectations are until they are challenged. I try to keep my expectations low but they still seem to be too high.

Answer to:
Do you expect others to be nice all the time or are your expectations more realistic than that? I think my expectations are fairly realistic. One doesn't have to be 'nice' to be polite and respectfully neutral (my minimum standard for common decency). Even if it's not possible to feel like being nice all the time, it IS possible to not take a bad mood out on others. So I think it's fair to be nice, or keep to yourself. Or at the very least, apologize for any outrageous behavior.

I lifted pretty hard and my arms were unusable/so tired after i was done Soreness after lifting is the result of microscopic tears in the muscle that have to be rebuilt. This is why they stress that muscle isn't built in the gym, but out of it and also why you shouldn't work the same muscle group two days in a row. Repairs increase muscle strength to accommodate increased load in the future. But those repairs typically take 12-48 hours. Lack of soreness can be due...

Answer to:
How do you feel about children being exposed to sexual advertising such as Victoria's Secret in the mall? Problematic or no? Not problematic. European cultures are liberal with nudity and sexual content in their entertainment media and there's no evidence it's problematic. If anything, censorship probably causes more problems with acceptance, communication, and creating a misguided notion that sexuality is bad or something to hide.

Answer to:
Why do some people resent the use of the word "should"? For example, "you should do this", or "that's the way it should be". Opinions vary; they aren't facts. There is usually no proven best way things should always be done or a 100% agreed upon right and wrong way things should be in life. Declaring one's own opinion as the way things 'should be' or 'should be done' may cause resentment and be deemed self-righteous and dismissive by people holding different opinions. Even when consensus is given to a 'should be'...

Why do some guys become abusive and foul-mouthed when I say "I hope I make myself clear"? Is there anything abusive about saying that?

It politely invites conversation if more clarification is necessary. Focusing...

Maybe even randomly poll moms where you shop (if you can do so without feeling too creepy). Since most babysitters are teenagers willing to...

Someone Said on facebook: Bad things are always going to happen in life. People will hurt you. Does it mean they are mad at someone? Could be they are mad, sad, or disappointed in someone. Could be they are reacting to someone else who was whining about such a hardship. Could just be a blanket statement of that sentiment since so many people use facebook as a billboard to broadcast their personal problems.

How they react will show if they are truly friends.

Those piercings do often get infected and if that happens your deception will come out anyway when you need medical care.

Why can't Jennifer Lopez keep a man? Is it usually the man's fault? She's been the one ending the relationships, so it's not that she CAN'T keep a man...it's that she chooses not to keep one. Although she's had her reasons, I don't remember her finding a lot of 'fault' with Ben Afleck. I'm guessing there's been reasons the men are to blame, reasons she was to blame, and reasons where they simply grew apart.

President Obama announced that states may opt out of No Child Left Behind programs. Is this a good change? Why? Based on everything I heard and read about it, nationally, the ability to "opt-out" is a good change. The program had good intentions, to guarantee a quality education to all children, but its requirements of how best to do that tied educators hands and placed the blame for failures on educators, even when other factors were clearly present.

Do you think that free speech should apply to people who preach genocide of the ethnicity ("race") they hate? Is this inciting to violence or just opinion? The ethnicity of the speakers and the targeted group is not important to my question. It's a slippery slope when trying to decide where free speech crosses the line. But laws exist governing peaceful assembly; laws exist for personal libel and slander; and laws exist to punish those that, of their own volition, act violently. Saying you don't like something/someone is one thing, but saying you want to kill them is a death threat--not my idea of peaceful assembly. I think it's...

What do you think of people who submit friends requests to yourself and others but never participate otherwise?

Can drugs cause pregnancy? Drugs don't cause pregnancy, sex does (especially unprotected sex).

It would be far more beneficial to stick to quantitative disputes of fact rather than style.

Answer to:
Is it weird that i like dating virgins a LOT more than dating guys that know what theyre doing? I don't think it's weird at all. Dating a virgin reduces doubts that sex is the only goal of the courtship. You can focus on the other aspects of building a sound relationship. There is also less potential risk for STDs if you do get around to a physical relationship (if the person hasn't had a lot of other sexual activity/contact).

He finds it extremely difficult to meet women. I will tell you what I told him: The reality is that not all women will consider you for a boyfriend.

Is it wrong for a 17 year old to date a 14 year old??? he is turning 15 this year...but im turning 18 the first month of next year... I don't think it's 'wrong' by most definitions of the word. It's only a few years difference. Compatibility at that age depends more on maturity than years. The only reason people get concerned about age difference in teenagers is due to the potential for a huge gap in sexual maturity at those ages. In most of the US states it is illegal for someone age 16 or older to have a sexual...

But that person wasn't trying to get anything from me. He had otherwise been a good friend to me and never abused any information we shared...

Am I weird? I know that in hospitals any idea vaguely resembling privacy of your body is pretty scarce...but last week they needed a urine No. It was pretty insensitive of the nurse. Many people have 'shy' bladders and everyone deserves respect. Many healthcare professionals sadly forget their compassion and the fact that they still work in a service industry.

How do i bring my milk supply up? my daughter cant latch so im loosing my milk supply. how do i bring it up while pumping full time? As long as you are getting adequate rest, fluid intake and nutrition, stimulation is the only thing that will increase supply. As a mother who nursed three, I will tell you that no pump is as efficient as a baby and if you are relying solely on a pump full-time, your supply will go down. Some pumps are better than others though. Make sure you buy or rent a top of the line (such as Medela) and...

dad's gf is a pain. Did you consider that if your dad's girlfriend has a bad reputation all over town it's likely he already knows about it? Whatever he sees in her, who he dates is his choice.

Answer to:
dad's condoms Get your brother a tub of diaper wipes or "Wet Ones" and return any unused condoms. They're both good for clean up and Wet Ones are safe to be flushed down the toilet. If you think you're responsible enough for sex you should be responsible enough to talk to your Dad about it. If he notices the missing condoms you might end up having to talk about it all anyway.

Answer to:
my gf does not want to have sex yet. You can't prove it to them because you ARE lying. Sorry, but to quote your own words on another comment, that's "part of how things are". I imagine if this gets back to your gf, not only will your friends find out you're lying (there goes your cool) but you still won't be getting any and may end up losing the gf. The best way to play it cool is to simply smile a lot and NOT talk about it at all.

But if you're in a committed relationship, then I'd say it's still ok to chill and laugh, as long as that's all she's doing. Rather than avoid her for days, I'd suggest you talk to her about it and get some reassurance.

Silence is Acquiescence - agreed? What I would do, personally, would depend on the situation. Getting involved could save someone's life or it could make you an unwelcome complication to someone else's private matter. Silence does not mean acquiescence. You can feel just as strongly about an opinion that you keep quiet about, as one you voice loudly.

Alcohol is addictive, weed is not. Why don't they make it legal? While the majority of pot users would probably use it at least as responsibly as alcohol users (and never progress further), there will always be those who assume it will be a gateway drug to more harmful and addictive drugs. That is probably the main reason it remains illegal. A secondary reason is that as a depressant, if it were to become legal, the socially acceptable nature would pose...

Should anyone on welfare be spied on, and those found to be making a way of life out of it executed for defraudment of the government? Stalking and execution are excessive and unnecessary.

The best you could hope for would be community service.

Why aren't there any Elvis Costello impersonators? Costello is a more obscure artist. Not many young people know who he is and even those familiar with 80's music usually only remember "Every day I write the book".

Abortion: Women in Texas will have to view a picture of the fetus and hear a description of its development before having an abortion... I don't think the numbers will change dramatically. Many women who choose to abort are going to feel guilty, but if so, that would exist even without this requirement. Any potentially life changing decision should be made with careful consideration. Provided the women are still ultimately given the choice, I don't have a problem with it. I think part of the responsibility of having a choice...

Paid into 401k in 1994-95, company at the time said I could not withdraw funds when I left. Is that true? I suspect the employer was referring to the fact that you were not vested at the time of your departure and were therefore not entitled to the employer contribution portion or 'matching' portion of your 401k balance. If you were inquiring about moving the entire balance, they might have said you couldn't. You should be able to do a direct rollover transfer of all contributions YOU made as well...

Are you a republican conservative or liberal democrat? Is it possible to be a liberal republican? I wouldn't call myself either. I'm fiscally conservative but socially moderate. I believe in being responsible for my own financial security while not overlooking the unfortunate. I simply don't want the government mandating my choices. There are a lot of people who are blended and don't fit one rigid mold. Politics cover both fiscal policy and social policy. So there's some room for...

For those who do not believe in spanking children, what is your reason(s)? Spanking is almost always done when a parent has lost all control over a situation and lacks other options. Done in anger or fear it can be damaging both physically and psychologically to the child (even when that wasn't the intention). It also teaches children that violence is the way to solve problems instead of words and reason--especially when a parent claims to use it only when controlled...

My husband says he watched porn to disgust himself? I think he's making it up. He wouldn't need to do this 10-12 times if it truly disgusted him. Something that disgusts you, you only need to see once--if at all! So I think he likes it.

Humans will never agree on when life begins, but the determination of it being a legally punishable act varies by the laws of where this happened.

i told her i love her she said she doesn't care and to leave her alone for now but i can call her just not all the time. What to do? Two weeks is a long time to stay mad over a fight. Give her the time and space to get over being mad and disappointed by staying away. If you don't hear from her, after 2-3 weeks let her know how you feel, but that the ball is now in her court. Let her come to you. If she doesn't...move on.

Answer to:
By giving your bf,gf space beacause they ask for it(which is good) are you also giving them time to get over you and move on? That is one likely outcome. But if moving on is what is going to happen, NOT giving him/her space won't end in a different result. It's always best to respect each other's wishes.

My gf on the time of breaking up said "I wil lov u all my life" so she was crying at that time... if she realy loved me then why she gone? Sometimes love is simply not enough.

Do you really look up to guys who have multiple sex partners and view them as better than girls who have multiple sex partners? Whereas I think both genders appreciate a partner that knows his/her way around the bedroom, that has a lot more to do with being creative, open-minded, and expressive in one's sexuality than it does experience. It's about observing and learning what your partner enjoys. So no, I'd neither judge nor look up to either gender for having multiple partners. I save my admiration for those who are...

Why do people make other people's life hell for them? For every person you come across like that, there is a potentially different reason. Although similar reasons may surface in a group of them, all you need to remember is that rarely are you forced to keep company with such people forever. You might have to make difficult decisions or sacrifices, but you do not need to give anyone the power to make your life hell.

Why am I always left behind? Stop trying so hard. Just be yourself and see who gravitates to you. It's far better to be yourself with people who like you for who you are than trying to be something you're not to people who would leave you behind.

What's the best way to get rid of belly fat? Eat a little less, but more often (small balanced meals 5-6x a day will keep your metabolism active), and exercise more. Several studies have shown that interval training is most effective at burning belly fat. That is, when you interval train, a higher percentage of the fat burned comes from that region. FYI - Crunches can strengthen your abs but contrary to common opinion they are neither...

There is something so satisfying about flipping pages, and judging my progress from the placement of my bookmark that I'm not sure I'll ever give up the real deal.

Is it rude for someone to speak to another in a foreign language for the sole purpose of bypassing you? Yes. Deliberately bypassing others is rude (even when done for comfort or convenience). If it's a private conversation it should respectfully be saved for when the individuals have privacy, just as we all do when everyone in the room speaks the same language. If it's done out of necessity because one person does not speak the same language as the others in the room, that is understandable.

i have a clone on AB at the moment .. so check my profile to see if it is really me before commenting . When users click on your name and the summary pops up, if they hover over your name your unique profile number appears at the bottom of the screen. If they note your profile number, it's a good way to tell if it's you or someone else. It's also a good way to detect users who frequently change their names, for whatever purpose.

Why can't I lose much weight in my stomach? Body fat typically comes off in the opposite order it went on, making the 'toughest' spots the ones that usually gained weight first. Those spots continue to gain as others do too, so they take the most time to reduce back to square one. Although you can't pick one area to shrink exclusively, there is some evidence that interval training burns a higher percentage of abdominal fat than other...

How can I work out, but not get muscles (read for more information) Lifting weights will add some bulk. Typically the lighter the weight, the less bulk. But if the weight is insufficient to work the muscle to exhaustion, you're wasting your time.

Don't be afraid to use a moderate weight 2-3x a week. Without...

Answer to:
Is it possible to flatten stomach muscles going to classes like zumba and pilates? Yes! Pilates will both strengthen abdominal muscles and back muscles, called the body powerhouse or 'the core'. (It's important to be balanced, back and front.) Keeping the abdominals 'flat' is a matter of holding the muscles in and tight while performing the exercises. Pushing the abdominal wall out while exerting these muscles can often stretch the muscles and cause an undesirable paunch. ...
