You can't. Should have read the TOC before you started, if that's what you wanted to do - Ask questions, and delete them later.

If 10:00 am to 3:00 pm is part time, what is full time??

She has a new CD coming out, which is probably one of the reasons she accepted - This is "free advertising" for her new song, too.
As far as relevance goes, who cares? If the song...

Why do recipes that call for 'unsalted' butter generally have 'salt' listed as an ingredient also? Why not just use 'salted' butter?
There's a lot more control over the amount of salt used in a recipe when you use unsalted butter. Use salted butter AND have to use some salt, many times you will end up too salty.
Then, there are those who are NOT supposed to use salt at all. If you use unsalted button, everyone can "season to taste" after the fact.

Should drink companies be subsidised to not make people alcoholics?
HA! The government gets quite a lot of taxes on alcohol. Subsidizing would eliminate that. Don't count on that happening.
Besides, how can alcoholic drink companies keep people from being alcoholics? There are no names given when people buy alcohol. And people have different tolerances and ways they drink. For example: there are those who would get drunk on a couple of hard-liquor drinks, and...

I'd say it depends on the acting - of everyone - and whether the story is any good. And there DOES have to be some "eye-candy" SOMEWHERE.
There are plenty of "not-so-great-looking" stars who we all know can act. They tend to look a lot better part-way into the movie, simply because they CAN act, and the character is someone you can sympathize with.

Depends on your definition of "small". There have been plenty of people around Indiana who have left their 10-12yos home in charge of the younger ones.

How come we never have a chance with the person we like?
We do. What we "like" changes over time for many.
It's just that when we're young, our standards are set WAY too high, and have little to do with anything long-term. So, we guys tend to like the cheerleader-type girls (pretty, usually), and the girls tend to like the jocks (in-shape, virile). We THINK these are going to be long-term, and in some cases they are, but in most they aren't.

Answer to:
Why do females shave their armpits and not males? How many men do?
I would think it because women tended to wear sleeveless shirts long before men did.
Hairy males tended to be more "virile" (testosterone causes hair growth, so those with a lot of it tend to be hirsute - underarms, arms, chest, etc.).
The feminine ideal for most men is little to no hair anywhere. (Note I said MOST men.) Or, very light wispy hair (peach fuzz). Why? Because MEN are hairy.

"Letting it go" means you have forgiven the transgression.

Because AB is in the business to have a "one-stop-shop" for answers to questions.

If they are all merged into one question, then it's more likely you will find your answer at that one place.

Don't believe that just because someone gives you what you consider a "stupid answer" that it's not serious to them, or, more likely, funny. And it will be to others, too.
Never take ANY answer, including those you think are "not stupid" or are good or great...

Why have all of Answerbag's ads featured creepy little kids lately?
Ads are contextual... Meaning they tie to the content of the category, question, and maybe even answers.
We had a girl trying to slam homosexuals with her questions once. I noticed, and finally pointed out that all the ads on her questions were homosexual related. She "asked" a question with a single bad word, and IT came up the same way with the ads. And, then, a CL (at the time) shut her...

Your new alerts don't "disappear", but go to the top of the list of alerts you've received. And it only takes one to do so. This is the prior version worked, too. Once you visited at least one NEW, all the other NEW flags (not the alerts themselves) "disappeared". That's when I got into the habit of opening each of them in a new window.

7 months pregnant and husband almost hits you for finding out and inquiring about him talking to a married co-worker. What would you do?
First, you were "inquiring" about him talking to a married co-worker? Or were you confronting him? If so, you, yourself, need to work on your trust issues you have with him.
Second, he HIT you. And you are still with him? That's abuse, pure and simple. (Then again, if YOU were hysterically screaming at him because he talked to someone else, and he did so to break you out of the hysterics......

Answer to:
Memories - why are some retained back while others get erased?
They don't get "erased", necessarily. They are filed under "who gives a crap", to come out later when you are (or aren't) emotionally able to handle them.
Sometimes it's the lyrics of a song... Sometimes it's a show on TV... Sometimes a movie... Sometimes a news story... If some of those WGAC memories are anything like the story you're hearing in your mind, they may pop up out of nowhere.

Answer to:
Does a bullet increase decrease or maintain speed from when it leaves the gun until it hits its target?
They decrease speed, therefore fall to earth. Mythbusters proved that a bullet dropped from the same height will fall to earth at the same speed as a bullet fired from a gun (well, within milliseconds - too fast for the human eye to detect).
Air friction (resistance or drag) begin slowing them as soon as they leave the barrel of the gun.

Animated avatars, on AB, only work on your profile. If everyone had animated avatars, then the system would be brought down by all the question and answers listed on numerous pages. So they allow them to animate on your profile, and use the first image on the other pages.

No... AB does NOT block people from certain questions.

However, if the member who asked the question was nuked, their questions, answers, and comments will ALL disappear from the site.

Priority and Ratings?

What you think that those who were aiming for higher rank has gone in waste on this ab site after they changed into new format?
Oohhh... Here I thought the reason to be here was to help and meet other people, and the points were "gravy" on top of that. I still do.
If you are helping others, is it really considered a "waste", whether you get points, ranking, or that cool refrigideezer? (Oh, wait... That was some other site...)

BTW: An emphatic "NO" with a knee to the groin may be in order for some of the latter. ;-)

I don't know... Seems kinda dumb to me, because I'm a "good" guy, and a lot of people have told me so. ;-)

Do you know why the new Nightmare on Elm street movie is rated R.
The old one (from http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087800/parentalguide ) was because of brief nudity, violence, and profanity, not to mention Frightening/Intense Scenes.
But, for the new one, see http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1179056/
"Rated R for strong bloody horror violence, disturbing images, terror and language. "

Answer to:
When do people start getting points here? Does it have to do with the content, or amount of Q&As
It has to do with the content. When people like your question or answer, they will click the LIKE button. Some people don't like doing so if they DON'T like them, however, that's the only way to get/give points.
For many of the old-timers, any question they answer, they will LIKE, and any answers their questions will be LIKEd, too. Most feel it's only polite.
Answer to:
Will you please pretend that you like this question so I get a higher ACHIEVEMENT LEVEL!?

So why must you? If you don't like someone and don't HAVE to deal with they, why would you. Just ignore them as best you can.
If they are a friend, reconsider the friendship. You have to decide if you can handle their "stupidness" or not. If not, dump them as a friend. (Friendships change throughout school and life, so that's nothing new.)
Otherwise, there's not much you can do but ignore them.

Answer to:
In general, would you say you like more people then you dislike or do you dislike more people then you like? Why?

Answer to:
Can cookie dough give you bacteria?
Yes. Especially homemade, unless you use pasteurized eggs. Packaged (cut and bake) MAY not be as susceptible, but that depends on the company who makes it, and how they handle the eggs.
it's the raw egg that can get you! ;-)
BTW: Same is true of cake batter, brownie batter, pie crust, etc.

Answer to:
What does this mean help
In general, Foreplay usually lasts the longest. I think once penetration is achieved, most young guys will orgasm relatively quickly. It may also have to do with their experience.
Then again, at 17 you've had 12 partners? GEEZE! Ever hear of LOVE and/or commitment?

Answer to:
I posed the question, "Why?" which was an actual exam question given by a college professor in a Phi 101 class. Why was this Q deleted?
Because it's been asked a hundred times before:
DO NOT ask "Why?", "What?", "Who?", "When?" "Where?", "How?", or any similar single or 2-3 word questions, as most of them have already been asked.
Simple Question: Why? http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/161181 (earliest I found)

Answer to:
do www.mhaonline.co.cc answers all types of questions
I believe I'd have a problem with any site like that... ESPECIALLY since the English language is apparently the one they want to use, and they've totally butchered it on the home page:
"I have made this website to share my knowledges, peoples can ask their questions about any topic that is needed for life or ideas to me, then i will answer to those questions as soon with evidence for example...
Answer to:
Why do people add friends or make comments to someone if they have no intention of actually following through and communicating with you?
Many of us who add friends DO communicate. That's why we may not accept a friendship right away... We feel we need to get to know people a bit before doing so... Like them answering some of our questions, us answering some of theirs, a small bit of chatting in comments...
But, remember. Many "social" sites are in the business of showing how many friends you can have, whether you know them,...

It's only as confusing as you allow it to be. Apparently, you want it to be COMPLETELY confusing. (It's just not the SAME as it was before. And, BTW: After 4 months, why would you say "Now that it's totally confusing?" Where ya been?

Answer to:
Whats the difference between hotels and motels?
Motels (or Motor Lodges) - Each room has an exterior door, and you handle your luggage yourself, all the time. Single-level ones, you can usually park right outside your room. Double- or more-level, you still park near your room, and there's a balcony overlooking the parking lot, usually.
Hotels - You usually park in a garage, many have bell-hops to help you load your luggage to and lead you...

Answer to:
Why do new ABers always post thier question more than once, and all in a room too? I've seen some that have been posted 5 times within the hour of posting the first time, the same question.
Depends on what you're talking about.
Some new ABers don't understand that clicking that question submit button more than once will create duplicate questions. If the system runs too slow for them, they may get impatient, and click it again and again until it's obviously submitted. (Watch the status in your browser's bottom status bar. If it's open at all, the question is going.)
Still others...

Answer to:
I was born in NYC in 91 a year after my parents from Hong Kong, who were British overseas nationals as Hong Kong was a British colony, immigrated to the States. Would I be an American citizen or a British overseas national? I currently live in the states.
Born in the US, makes you a US Citizen. Your birth certificate is in NYC.
I don't know about the British National part. From my understanding, you COULD be both.
