well russia has threatened retaliation over the european nuclear missile defense progr, is this going to restart a paranoia like the 70's?

70s? It was MUCH worse in the 50s and 60s. And it might. Won't be fun, but, it might. Then again, if terrorist states having nuclear capabilities doesn't give you a healthy dose of paranoia, why should this?

Sat, 28 Apr 2012 22:14:17 -0700

Does anyone know how to deal with Catholics?

In general, you deal with Catholics as you deal with anyone else - Treat them as you would like to be treated. As for your real problem (not "Catholics" in general, but your brother's fiance's parents) - Don't treat them any different. The wedding, I assume, is going to happen (She hasn't said...

If she has a pretty face, decent body (shaped right, how thick doesn't really matter too much), sense of humor, and good, loving personality, who cares? ONLY if I find that she's going to or has gotten involved with me "for my money" (hehehe - what money?) would I not want to.

Answer to Instead of complaining about house prices, why dont you just sell your house at a higher price?

Wed, 11 Apr 2012 00:00:46 -0700

Instead of complaining about house prices, why dont you just sell your house at a higher price?

Because the idea of putting your house on the market is to SELL said house. If people will not pay the actual value of your house, then you have to lower your selling price, meaning, probably, that you will "take a bath" (lose money) on the deal. I just heard of someone who sold a $400,000 house...

Mon, 27 Feb 2012 00:03:48 -0800

Want a prescription for Viagra? Prove you are fit to produce and support children first. Makes sense right?

1. Viagra doesn't "impact the potency" of men. It helps with Erectile Dysfunction, which has NOTHING to do with potency. 2. Viagra wasn't designed as an ED drug. "The drug was originally developed to improve blood supply to the heart in angina sufferers. " (Source:...

Answer to why do people give funny or silly answers to serious questions?

Thu, 23 Feb 2012 18:59:32 -0800

why do people give funny or silly answers to serious questions?

People do this in some cases to try to lighten up the subject a bit. Sometimes it's to make people think about it. And sometimes, it's just a kid (or adult) who saw the question, and thought of a "funny" answer. If you don't like an answer, ignore it and don't LIKE it.

Answer to Do you think Americans fully understand why burning a Quran is not acceptable? Is the Quran just a book or is it to be respected?

Thu, 23 Feb 2012 18:49:49 -0800

Do you think Americans fully understand why burning a Quran is not acceptable? Is the Quran just a book or is it to be respected?

I don't agree. I see the Quran as just as important to Islam as the Bible is to Christians. Therefore, it's to be respected. My understanding of the situation is it was a mistake. Maybe as far as the soldiers burning them knew they were "just books", and not Qurans.

First, learn to like yourself, unless you're a jerk. And if you are, change. Either way, like yourself. You will show confidence, which women love. Second, stop trying so hard to "hook up" or even just "get a date". You seem desperate. It really wrecks that confident demeanor you gained by #1....

It is estimated that 80% of children are restrained improperly in their child restraints. WHY do you think this is?

Basically, because 1) People don't read the instructions that come with those child restraints; 2) People don't want to take the TIME to do the child restraints up correctly; 3) People don't believe that accidents can happen to them. For #3: I grew up, riding home from my grandmother's and on...

Why did you take pictures of me when I'm eating?!

You sound like my ex-wife and other family members. Maybe it's because the only time the whole family is together is when they're together for a lunch or dinner? As the for pictures above? Looks kinda like the news showing "out of shape" people, eating fattening foods.

Mon, 13 Feb 2012 01:00:06 -0800

Why is it that most of the atheists on this site grossly stereotype Christians as Biblethumping hate mongering and of inferior intellect?

Probably, because that's what they tend to deal with. When someone says they're Atheist, Christians jump on them, and try to convert them - Just as when many Christians say they are, THEY are jumped on by Atheists. I mean, if you want a "discussion" rather than an argument, then DISCUSS, don't...

It might... HOWEVER, people would find a way around it. Used to be 4 characters was required. With that as the case, there were many times my "signature smiley" (when all was said and done) of ;-) wouldn't work. It became very automatic to add the extra space at the end. Of course, they could...

Hi answerbagers how to delete some of my older questions here in my page? I really cant find how.. Please help. thanks

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. AB is in the business of building a database of searchable questions and answers. If they allowed everyone who wanted to delete their questions/answers, then they'd not...

Answer to Why does answer bag say that i sent a message at 11am when i really sent the message at 5pm? it does this to all my messages.

Sat, 11 Feb 2012 01:17:41 -0800

Why does answer bag say that i sent a message at 11am when i really sent the message at 5pm? it does this to all my messages.

Because the time is based on the time on AB's servers. At midnight where I live, it's 9PM there (California), so unless their server clock is wrong, whenever I enter anything, it's always going to say it's 3 hours earlier.

Answer to If all of your favourite members on Answerbag left, what would you do? Would you make new ones? Would you make the best of it? Would you go?

Sat, 11 Feb 2012 01:14:03 -0800

If all of your favourite members on Answerbag left, what would you do? Would you make new ones? Would you make the best of it? Would you go?

Quite a few have left in the four years I've been here. 1) I make new friends, 2) I make the best of it by doing what I've always done - Answer a lot of questions (not near as many as I used to, now) and ask questions when they occur to me. This usually leads to more #1. ;-) Most "friends" on...

Answer to Have you ever been on a roof?

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 18:30:17 -0800

Have you ever been on a roof?

Lots more times when I was younger. It's been a while. Oh... And house roof, trailer roof, store roof, truck roof, etc.

Answer to Pretty soon this place is going to be in a scummy corner of the internet that people only visit after dark to avoid being seen... Do you really want to be part of that?

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 01:18:28 -0800

Pretty soon this place is going to be in a scummy corner of the internet that people only visit after dark to avoid being seen... Do you really want to be part of that?

AB has been here since 2003. We have ALWAYS - since it went public and to general questions and not just FAQs - had "faceless, nameless and cowardly bullies who get their kicks from believing they can bully, manipulate and terrorise other people and get away with it." Believe it or not, the vast...

Answer to Do you think we should get points for getting our answer to be chosen as Asker's pick?

Do you think we should get points for getting our answer to be chosen as Asker's pick?

Uh... You DO know that we DO get points if our answer is chosen as a Great Answer, right? Asker's Pick only means that those answers are what the asker was looking for.

Answer to Have you heard what Mr. Bromide did to his computer?

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 00:57:36 -0800

Have you heard what Mr. Bromide did to his computer?

Nope... And I don't really care, except that he's a long-time ABer.

Answer to Answerbag is really great at making their long time users leave aren't they?

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 00:56:41 -0800

Answerbag is really great at making their long time users leave aren't they?

You're still here... As am I and many others. People leave sites for various reasons... They don't like things that are happening, real life intrudes, they find something else they'd rather be doing than helping others with problems or answering dumb questions... etc. AB is AB. Love it, like...

Answer to Every wondered what your AB friends really think about you ane who has created a second account? All your questions anwered here.

Every wondered what your AB friends really think about you ane who has created a second account? All your questions anwered here.

You DO realize that technically, this question is advertising another site, and I'm sure, will be removed before long? I won't flag or remove it, but I'm sure there will be others out there who will flag it, which brings it to the notice of staff, who make the final decision.

Answer to So it was a troll vs. Mrs. Cleaver and the troll won???

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 00:41:22 -0800

So it was a troll vs. Mrs. Cleaver and the troll won???

I seriously doubt that. Some people's AB Addiction finally fades to where they can leave and not spend forever on here. And, of course, real life has a way of making itself known and needful to everyone at one time or another.

Answer to Will you also leave us like what Mrs. Cleaver did? huhuhu

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 00:37:53 -0800

Will you also leave us like what Mrs. Cleaver did? huhuhu

I'm not on near as much as I used to be, but I still check on things almost every day, at least for a little while. Some year, real life will catch up, and I may have to leave, but I've been here for quite some time, and don't plan on going away for good.

Answer to You answer the questions you like, I answer the ones I like. Simple, right? Not allowing others to choose for us? Making our own choices?

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 00:31:56 -0800

You answer the questions you like, I answer the ones I like. Simple, right? Not allowing others to choose for us? Making our own choices?

Someone is trying to choose which questions you should answer? And how can they do that? You are correct in the "You answer what you want, and I'll answer what I want" mode of thinking. HOW can someone force you to answer what you don't want to?

Answer to It's up to AB members whether or not AB is/becomes a garden or a garbage dump. So how do we persuade the garbage dumpers to go away?

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 00:30:01 -0800

It's up to AB members whether or not AB is/becomes a garden or a garbage dump. So how do we persuade the garbage dumpers to go away?

Rosie, you've been here longer than I, haven't you? And you know, as well as I do, that those garbage dumpers will keep on coming, like flies to a squashed possum, and there's no getting rid of them. Just keep answering the questions you want to answer, and sooner or later, those dumpers will...

Answer to Why is it people answer and ask very banal questions in dribs and drabs on AB mostly but anything intellectually abstruse is not answered?

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 00:26:56 -0800

Why is it people answer and ask very banal questions in dribs and drabs on AB mostly but anything intellectually abstruse is not answered?

Because EVERYONE can answer "banal questions" but only a few can answer "intellectually abstrusive" questions. AND, if they are in certain categories, only those who visit those categories will be interested in answering them.

Answer to Anyone ever been placed in the AB penalty box? I've just returned and I have no idea what to change in order to not return again.

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 00:25:05 -0800

Anyone ever been placed in the AB penalty box? I've just returned and I have no idea what to change in order to not return again.

No, I haven't, and I've been here for 4 years. The reason you were PBed is in the email you should have received. Basically, let's just say "Stop cussing, you know better." (No, I didn't put you there.)

Answer to Do you wash dishes by hand or do you use a dishwasher?

Sun, 05 Feb 2012 22:53:47 -0800

Do you wash dishes by hand or do you use a dishwasher?

We have a dishwasher, but my wife can't stand dishes standing in the sink or on the counter, waiting until we can fill it, so we tend to wash them by hand, unless we have a whole lot of them.

Answer to Anyone else think Madonna was lip singing during the half time show (especially Vogue)?

Sun, 05 Feb 2012 22:52:18 -0800

Anyone else think Madonna was lip singing during the half time show (especially Vogue)?

I know very few extra-large live events where the main act dances that they're NOT lip-synching, especially at the Superbowl. There's no way they could control audio, and get things mixed as well as they do (which, many times isn't really good enough anyway), without it. I always thought they...

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

Sun, 05 Feb 2012 20:06:58 -0800

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

10-3 is 5 hours, minus 1/2-1 hour for lunch, meaning 4-4.5 hours. Full time is 7.5-8 hours OF WORK/day. Lunch would normally not be counted. 8-5 (4 hours, 1 hour lunch, 4 hours) or 8-4:30 (4 hours or so, lunch, 3.5 hours) is probably pretty "normal" for full-time, white collar workers. Shifts...

Answer to Was Madonna's Super Bowl appearance her trying hard to seem relevant again?

Sun, 05 Feb 2012 19:59:02 -0800

Was Madonna's Super Bowl appearance her trying hard to seem relevant again?

I thought it was one of the best in recent years. Like Madonna or not, the songs were good, the guest stars were good, she sang her new song and old hits, danced better than past Superbowl half-time acts, etc. She has a new CD coming out, which is probably one of the reasons she accepted - This...

Answer to Do you feel the term African American or Black should be used to describe Black people?

Sun, 05 Feb 2012 13:38:28 -0800

Do you feel the term African American or Black should be used to describe Black people?

Black, since much of the world's population of black people are not "American".

I always thought that that was the definition of an agnostic.
