Boys, if you found out that chick you have a crush on wears a padded bra and she is flatter than you thought, would you still fancy her or think you were cheated by her appearance?
Well... what if you had a crush on a guy and found out he had a sock stuffed in his pants? Would you feel cheated?
Not likely... women are less about appearance than men are. Women are typically less shallow.

It will require at least a 1/2 hours worth of coverage with the clip being shown no less than 15 times, and 5 different theories on the cause of the cough and what he plans to do about it and whether or not it could cost him the election.
No less than 3 specialists will be asked their opinion of the cough.

For one, I find book burnings to be ridiculous.
Second, are they buying the book then burning it? Isn't that really counterproductive?
Third, I'm not a fan of boycotts, protests, etc. Just as we have the freedom to express our discontent, we have the right to read and write what we see fit. We also have the choice to buy it and read it and believe it or not... Yay Free Will!...

Normally if I agree or find it humorous, I will give full points.

Answer to:
If a car costs $10888.00 and there is a 6% sales tax, what is the total cost?
10,888.00 x 1.06 = 11,541.28
To get just the sales tax you would multiply it by .06 which is the decimal equivelant to 6%. (653.28)
When you multiply it by 1.06 you get the original price (thus the 1) included with the 6% sales tax (thus the .06).

My wife (33) actually just recently told me that she likes to be called 'Adorable'. Of all the descriptive terms I have for her such as the ones you've mentioned above, Adorable was the one that I used least because I didn't assign it the same value that she does.
So now I try to find opportune moments to use that description as opposed to one I would normally use.

You take away one of the authorities and those that used to be accountable to that one, no longer feel accountable to it and thus feel no reason to restrain themselves from acting out.
Without order is chaos.

When she comes back and you let her back in, you are saying it was ok. There are no negative consequences for her... where is the incentive for her to stop? She's not hurt, your not hurt, she sees nothing wrong.
Until there is a negative consequence she may never stop.

The fact that he says he was just horny tells you that he separates sex from love. To him its an act and as long as he loves you, he can sex anyone and anything he wants. In this case the likelihood of doing it again is very high.

Don't we currently consider those types of things as birth defects? Don't people take medicine to balance the chemical imbalance?

If you plan to arrive at a certain time, plan to hit all traffic lights green, plan to go bathroom only once, and plan on finding a $5 bill on your afternoon walk... it might not turn out as planned.

Answer to:
If Johnny has 3 apples, and Davey has 5 apples. Why dont they just shut up and eat?
Because Davey won't stop talking about having more apples than Johnny long enough to eat them. He also realizes (as does Johnny) that if he begins to eat them, he will eventually be the same as Johnny, therefore both of them pass out due to low sugar and Steve comes by and takes all 8 apples home and shares them with his family.

I'm 20 years old. About 7 months ago, I was only 5'11''. Now, I've grown to 6'3". I tend to eat very healthy, and avoid drinking alcohol, eating unhealthy food, etc. Is this a sign of something bad? My grandfather and uncle apparently grew into their 20's
As long as there is a family history of growth like that, not related to thyroid, it should be ok, but you may want to have your doctor do a check anyways if he/she is concerned about it.

If he had an exit strategy, he wouldn't have declared a victory so many years ago... the victory is declared when the goal is achieved. His goal was to get Sadam out, he achieved it... he didn't count on anything else and had no other goals in mind.
If his strategy is stay there until peace comes along, it's a long, long exit strategy that will leave us there forever.

A 19 year old needs to look for someone a little older than 16.
A 16 year old needs to not be looking at a 19 year old.
It's never a good idea to date your boss or to date an employee.
It's never a good idea to date anyone under the legal age of consent.

Which life has more meaning; a life that never dies, or a life that ends in death? Please explain.
That depends what the life is used for, or what the death accomplished.
If a person gave their life for another, their death had meaning. If their death created a movement for change, then it had meaning.
If a person lives forever, but only lives for themselves, then it really doesn't have much meaning to me.
All life has value, but value doesn't always signify a meaning.

Monopoly question----When all 32 houses are in play, can I purchase hotels all at once on properties with less than four houses? (Say I have Baltic and Med. unimproved, can I just buy 2 hotels for full price bypassing the houses?
There must be available houses to have 4 on each property of the monopoly. You don't have to go through the motion of putting them there and then removing them, or waiting a turn, if there are sufficient houses in the bank you can go straight to Hotels paying for 5 houses on each property.

Double cash on 'GO' is a custom rule that some people play... it is not in the official rules... you will not find many real Monopoly fans playing that rule.
Free Parking Money, Free passes on property, no buying property until you go one time around the board, all those are other 'custom rules' that people have made up and are not official.

I have been with my partner for a year and a half. when we bicker he really upsets me and calls me ugly. this really hurts. he calls me whore, slag etc too. why does he get like that when hes angry? he never says sorry. he loves me though?
He sounds immature and not really caring, but everyone gets upset and some people say mean things when they are upset.

Should we accept aspects of ourselves that we dislike as traits of who we really are or should we try to change them?
We should always strive to improve ourselves. We will never fully eliminate our negative aspects, but we can dull them, tone them down, and we can constantly struggle to overcome them.
Just because we can't defeat some flaws in our personality it doesn't mean we stop fighting them. To say "that's the just the way I am" seems to me to be a cop-out.

Did you mostly find the best possible partners for you or did you rather make a lot of bad choices?
I made one good choice and no bad ones.
I married my high school sweetheart, she was my first, and is still my only one. If it ever ends, I would not have considered it a bad choice, but depending how it ends (if at all) it would either be death, or a series of bad choices on one of our parts.
The choice of choosing her, I would never regret.

Girls mature faster than boys, so even though you may be done with most of your hormonal growth, they aren't.

If a bee flies onto a train in London and stays in the carriage until the train reaches Liverpool, would the bee try to fly home or would it rave it up in Liverpool for the rest of its life or would it gatecrash another party hive?
I think that at the first rave it attended, it would unwittingly take a hit of ketamine, o.d. and die and someone deathly allergic to bee stings would step on him, get stung, have an allergic reaction and be rushed to a hospital, where they would then be saved, and charged with drug posession because most of the people at those raves have pockets full of pills.

You would need to find more than one instance to establish a pattern of behavior.

To me it's the same difference within any religion. I would imagine that a 'devout' person is one who lived the faith as closely as possible to the point that everyone who knew him, knew he was strong in his faith.

Communication is one of the most important aspects of a relationship, it leads to an understanding of each other and your feelings. This builds respect for each other and eliminates many of the problems that would arise in the future due to a lack of...

$10 + $50 + $100 + $250 + $500 = $910
You can do the math individually by multiplying 1000 by the decimal equivalent .01, .05, .10, .25 and .50 then add them together.
You can also add up the value of the coins themselves, 50+25+10+5+1=91 and then convert it to $ value and times by 1000. .91x1000 = $910

That time and money wasted in those fantasies can be better used to improve his relationship with you rather than destroy it with something he allegedly finds no value in.
If they truly mean nothing to him, he should value your relationship more and give them...

Tell her how you feel. Tell her that you view that topic as a very serious one not for joking about, because you know that cheating can ruin a relationship. Let her know you enjoy joking with each other and pushing each others buttons, but not about that topic. Tell her why that topic makes you so nervous or upset.

Answer to:
It is not always the fault of poor parenting that a child 'ends up,' bad! Agree or disagree and why?
Agree.
At some point the kid makes his own decision, and is accountable for his actions.
Those decisions may be founded on morals, ethics, etc that he recieved from his parents good or bad, but ultimately he/she decides to follow them or not.
Good parenting improves the odds of good behavior, bad parenting improves the odds of bad behavior. This cannot be ignored... but is not foolproof.

You moved when you didn't have to, you inconvenienced yourself in order to improve the situation while leaving the guy what little dignity he may have had left.

Does the music you listen to have an effect on the clothes that you wear?
No, not me. I do believe that the Music Video's people watch effect the way they dress... but not the music itself.

You cannot do it and still respect them. You aren't 18 and therefore are not recognized by law as an adult yet, so if you disobey your parents you are disrespecting them and their authority.

Why are babies born looking like aliens?
There is a 'soft spot' in the top of the skull that doesn't harden until a few months after birth. This allows the skull to have some flexibility as it travels through the birth canal. The pressure of birth squeezed the baby's body to push fluid out of the lungs, stimulate blood flow, etc. and the skull gives to make the head more bullet shaped to help it exit the body.

Having them taken professionally that many times can get expensive. At that young of age, there are a lot of changes that happen in short periods of time, so a lot as a baby is acceptable.
