Is it just me or have most of the questions on AB become to boring to answer?
I haven't been here that long but am already going through fazes where it seems that the questions have gone stale or are all superfluous.
.
Then, a few days later, it seems there is a raft of new and interesting questions. Not sure yet if it is really the questions or has more to do with my mood.

I also a bit confused that he would threaten rather than try. Why would he forewarn you? That's kind of like a burglar telling me that he is going to break in tonight and hoping I won't be ready for him.

Answer to:
Do you feel that if a question has already been asked on AB and that question is 3 years old, it's ok to ask the same question again without it being considered a duplicate? Should questions expire after a certain time and be allowed to be re-asked?
They can do anything they want, as long as they automate the process for detecting dupicates at the time the question is posted. If the computers can't remember and analyze all the questions, how can the asker?

Well, orientals... I would not say they look the same, it is more a question that cannot tell them apart as easily as I usually can with two caucasians, blacks or whatever. If I spent more time in a large Asian community, I imagine this would change.

Some cultures have practices that seem barbaric to the western eye. (Slaughtering animals in their backyard, female circumcision etc). In a diverse neighbourhood/ country, where do you draw the line in tolerance of other cultures? Is there a line?
I think there is no limit to tolerance in terms of repecting that they have a different culture and traditions. At the same time, they must respect the laws of their adopted country and if it is illegal here (wherever here may be) then they must obey that or, if they can, work to have the laws changed.

Do you think employers should give employees a two-week notice before firing or laying them off? After all, employees need to give and work a two-week notice before quitting. What are your thoughts? Are you an employee or employer?
I am surprised how unprotected employees in the U.S. seem to be!
.
Most countries I have worked in employers get much more protection, including warnings for termination.
.
As pointed out, there is always a concern that an employee is on his way out the door will not work well or worse, so usually the employee is paid his salary for the notice period but not allowed to come into work.

Don't you think the whole concept of the pledge of allegiance is un-American? Shouldn't we pledge allegiance to the Constitution and leave it to the subjects of monarchies to pledge allegiance to a flag?
As a Canadian I was always amazed by the open patriotism that could be seen, heard and felt at practically every step when I visited the states.
.
We tended to be much more reserved in declaring our relationship with our country and, perhaps as a result, thought about and developed our feelings for it to a lesser degree.

Should people who take cigarette breaks at work (outside of designated break times) be made to stay behind to make up for time "wasted", or should they have their pay docked according to how much time they spend smoking per day? Thoughts?
There are a lot of ways that some waste time at work. For some it is computer games, for others chat sites, coffee breaks or talking to co workers.

I am interested in how productive they are. If the smoker, despite the breaks, does more for the company than one who does not, why would I penalise him?

In my opinion, the part of your question that is unhealthy is saying that you have no chance! Why put yourself down?.

I pulled a cuticle off the side of my middle finger and now it is swollen and to tender to touch - is this something I should just go to the emergency room about or just deal with - I can't even sleep at night!
You don't say when you did it.
.
With the pain as bad as you say, it likely is infected in which case you should definately seek medical care.
.
You could wait to see your GP on Monday, but if the pain is so severe that you literaly can't sleep, it would not be inapropriate to go to the emergency room today.

In Forrest Gump, Jenny contracts a "mysterious" virus, are we meant to think it's HIV? If so does it mean that it may have been passed to Forrest and more likely, little Forrest?
I have always wondered about that as well.
The first thing that came into my mind was also AIDS but you would think that she would have told him, even if she became infected after little Forrest's birht.
The most logical explanation I have come up with for myself is that she simplified it so Forrest could understand the import if not the detail.

I just found out my husband tried to kiss my friend on New Years Eve last year when I was pregnant with his second child at home when he and my friend went to get takeaway. I want to forgive but I can't see past it
There are kisses and there are kisses. Do you feel that the kiss was ardent or think he shouldn't give even a platonic kiss?
If it wasn't a romantic kiss, I don't understand the problem. If his mother is still alive, he quite likely gives her a kiss when they meet and surely you wouldn't be upset! You understand the kiss shows affection but nothing more.
Why can't...

As to why they wear them, probably for the same reason you give thought to how you dress, to feel good about yourself.

My mom is super pissed I got my belly button pierced. She freaked out and made me take it out. She then demanded to know who pierced it; I refused to tell her so now I'm not allowed anywhere for the next month without her. What's the big deal?
I am really surprised no one had answered this yet!
To put my answer in perspective, I am 48.
I imagine your mother might have several issues with this:
1) the first is medical. I am sure you already understand that unsanitary equipment can lead not only to a local short term infection, but also transmit disease.
It is also my understanding that some piercings come close to nerves and, if...

Answer to:
What is a product I could buy that would allow me to write all over my bedroom wall, without marking up the wall itself?
I saw a product on a tv show for paint that creates a chalkboard surface and believe they said there was also one that did the same as a whiteboard.
I haven't used or even looked for either one myself, but if you go to your local builders supply, hardware store or wherever you can buy paint, I am sure they will be able to tell you more.

Wich one of the four is least like the other three, apple, pear, peach, or strawberry?

Strawberry seems to be the obvious first choice, so I will say peach. Strawberries, pears and apples all have seeds. The peach has a pit.

What is something romatic i can do for my boyfriend at home?? i don't have a job so please help with qoutes or sayings or a fun game etc... just need help please.
The good news is, yoou don't need a single penny!
Granted, his idea of "romanace" may be a bit different than yours, so remember, this is something you wanted to do FOR HIM!
Why not put on something sexy, light some candles than meet him at the door when he comes in.
Help him off with his coat, shoes tie or (whatever) than lead him to the couch. There you do a striptease...

To my American friends: On CNN tonight I saw a news program that showed radical Muslim groups protesting in various American cities. They were handing out literature and shouting angrily. What do you think of all this? Please be honest.
I think you wouldn't be asking this question if a group of, say, feminists, Polish-Americans or gays were handing out leaflets, shouting etc.
In short, sorry, but I think you are a bigot.
I am not trying to offend. It just meets the dictionary definition...
If you are o.k. with that, that's your decision. If you aren't, perhaps you should try to find out more about them,...

Has anyone ever tried nudity? if so, do you like it?
I am not a nudist, but sleep nude and in the summer skinny dip a lot (we're on four hectares with a pond so can do this)
Yes, having the wind, sun water whatever touch all of my body does, for me, feel very good and natural.
We did go to a nudist club once with friends when I was about 17, but this was more to oogle and to show each other how brave we are.
The feelings there were...

Answer to:
How come you can 't make fun/be critical of a Jew anymore nowadays? Like on this site for example all my questions I have with the word "Jew" in it mysteriously become "offensive". Is it going to happen to this one too? Do they abuse the holocaust guilt?
In general, not using terms others would find offensive is called manners.
You need to have the courtesy to consider whether someone in the group you are conversing with might find what you are saying offensive.
B.T.W. I have had many Jewish friends and they have all refered to themselves as Jewish, so if there is a more p.c. term in fashion now, what is it?

It's called love!
You have a very lucky child.
I suspect, however, that your eldest "child" may feel neglected. Maybe you have grandparetns as loving as you you could lend your youngest to for a long weekend while you pamper the eldest one exclusively? 9nudge, nudge, wink, wink)

My homelife when I was growing up was also no picnic, though it sounds like you had it even tougher.

Whats the easyiest way to ask if a girl is interested in you without her knowing?
If you are unsure enough of yourself to need an indirect approach, you will likely distrust any signals weaker than the girl looking you in the eye and telling you she likes you.
In my experience, this is not likely to happen!
My advice is to tell her you are interested in her and would like to get to know her better.
We all tend to like people who like us and she will likely respect...

I'm a 13 year old girl and I'm a natural tenor. I have a deep voice that is like boys. Is this natural or should I go to the doctor?
While I agree with the others that there is almost certainaly nothing "wrong" with you, I would advise that you do see a doctor! There may be something we are nto aware of and a visit is just common sense insurance.
After all, why would you trust your health on the internet to a bunch of peaople you don't even know?

Should the military reevaluate all of its muslim soldiers in the wake of fort hood shootings?
I believe you (the U.S.) has had another mass shooting today.
I believe it was a disgrunteled ex employee architect.
To answer your question, it makes as much sense to suspect all muslims as it does to suspect all architects.

Is a 30-06 overkill for deer hunting?
Your summary doesn't say where you are from, so I have no idea what type of deer you are hunting.
If you are hunting whitetail or larger, a 30.06 is a good choice, although I think the 308 win. is the best all around gun unless you're planning to hunt grizzlies in Alaska.
Anything smaller than a whitetail and you will do too much damage and possibly spoil a lot of meat.

Is Hunting a sport?
It is many things...
It is a necessary part of wildlife management today because urban sprawl has upset the natural balance,
While most hunters could buy more meat with the money they spend hunting than they actually bag, it can be a source of meat,
It is a pass time hunters enjoy, but not everyone will. That's their choice, just as some enjoy needle point but I wouldn't.

I am confused by the previous answer. The respondent clearly knows something about the area if he identified the surname as likely being Latvian, but everything after that is nonsense!
Abols is Latvian for apple. Abolins is Latvian for clover.
The suffix ins (ina for female) is applied to many Latvian names. (the n would have a comma like accent underneath which gives it a nasal/softened...
