Answer to:
Are you loyal to AB or do you cheat on her sometimes?
Being honest.. I cheat on her.
Reasons are the lack of any real substance in the questions. I have asked some questions here only to get minimal answers (that did not help). In fact, questions that pertain to unimportant issues receive more attention than questions where people are actually seeking some knowledge on a particular subject. Not a rant just the way I see it.

Why do women prefer the jerk over the nice guy?
The jerk is more racy or exciting to a female. A nice guy is just that, NICE. He colors inside the lines and doesn't break the rules. The jerk appeals to younger women, but its the nice guy who wins in the end.
After years and years of mistreatment by the jerk, they older more experienced woman will flock to the nice guy. This obviously isn't the case in all situations, but it...

What do you think of protesters who call themselves “Born again Christians” who stage protests at the funerals of dead soldiers who served in Iraq, and insult their grieving families. Should this type of free speech be protected?
They are as fanatical and dangerous as the terrorist that call themselves Islamic. I am a Christian and I am totally appalled by that kind of behavior.

If a government or group is abusing or killing helpless people for religious, racial, or other reasons, who's job is it to step in and stop the atrocities?
In my opinion, its everyone's job. We are all human here on this planet. We all have the same basic needs, breath the same air, put our pants on the same way... We should all be looking out for each others best interest.
But then again I am dreaming aren't I? lol...

I have been posting a variety of questions with serious content and some with humorous content. When posting a serious question I get very few answers...

What was the worst thing you remember doing when you were a kid?
Throwing a water balloon into the face of a mother. We had "block wars" and I rang the doorbell on a house of a kid that ran into it after stealing most of our water balloons. I backed up, the mom opened the door and I let it go... soon there after I turned a whiter shade of gray and ran like the wind. What an idiot I was that day :P

Would life be easier if there was no such thing as money?
Yes I think so. Money is the root of all corruption and evil. Think about people and status. That would change. Of course our society would change drastically and there would be adjustments. All people could actually work towards something more meaningful than the 9-5 job you participate in because you need a paycheck. Your time would be more meaningful and the end result of that is a happier...

Is Bobby Brown to blame for Whitneys downfall?

Can you still become pregnant one week before you period and then had your period took a pregnancy test and it was negative.
Depending on when you ovulate, it is possible to conceive. It is also very common for women to have a "period" the first month after conception. This period is sometimes considered to be spotting only by some women, and not really a "normal" period. For this reason, some women are not yet aware they are in fact pregnant. When you become pregnant, your body creates HCG...

What is meant by overwriting a file? How do you do you overwrite a file? If you reboot a computer is a file still retrievable even if deleted from the recycle bin before? Thanks
Overwriting a file means that it's contents has been replaced by some other content.
Like when you copy a file from one location to another, edit it in its new location and then move it back to its original location. You changed the content of the file and now your overwriting the original file with your changes.
About rebooting. If you delete a file from the recycle bin it is not...

How can you answer someone without offending them?
Sooner or later you will offend some one. When I begin to post in a public forum such as AB I stop and think about what I am saying. If it seems a little crazy, chances are that it is and someone will be offended. So then to play it safe.. I rephrase a bit :)

What are the advantages of mozilla firefox over internet explorer?
The biggest advantage in using Firefox over I.E. is the fact that spyware does not get on your machine nearly as much.
In my experience with these browsers, I.E. will attract at least 60% more spyware than Firefox. Spyware might not seem like a big deal but over time your machine will collect it like wax collects in your ears. It will slow your PC down and problems will begin from that point.

I want to start up a mobile laundry business and i want to know how to sort clothes belonging to different people? I would also like tips that can help me set up and distinguish my services from the pack.
Well you could sort clothing like the dry cleaners do. They sort your clothing in separate bags and the bags have a tag on them with your customer number on them.
They are computerized which helps them keep track of orders and clothing articles. Doing that would help you immensely. Hope that helps a little :)

From a conservative point of view, Canada seems to sit on the sidelines. Meaning that they are not involved with world affairs like war efforts and such. They seem to keep to themselves.

You can then type this key into your laptop's connection setting. Once you do that the laptop will do the rest. Your...
