How do you do dates in Chinese? "二零零九年一月一日星期一" is correct. Also, "星期一,二零零九年一月一日" is correct too. If you used "二零零九年一月星期一一日" it would mean that you are breaking the xx-year-xx-month-xx-day order, which is wrong! Note: Just to clear confusion, it's not wrong to use xx-year-xx-month (if you don't know the exact day) nor is it wrong to use xx-month-xx-day.

How do you say "of" and "the" in Chinese? there isn't an exact word for "of", but of can be said by using "de" in chinese.

To type Chinese characters, one will need a program like NJStar and need to know sufficient English (or any other Latin alphabet-based language)...

Answer to:
Do brunettes have more of a mysterious aura about them more than blonds do? It's funny, because for a while blondes were seen as more attractive than brunettes because of the common-ness of brown hair. Now blondes are seen as ditsy gals who bleach their hair. To answer your question, I'd say people with dark brown or black hair are more 'mysterious'...to me, anyway.

I am not an American. I hear that America now has a 'black' president. The fact is: America has a new president...It doesn't matter if he is black, blond or sunburns easily. Is not referring to him as a 'black' president, prejudicial? I think referring to him as the "black" president (even though technically he's half-black half-white) might even out any lingering racial tensions between black and white Americans. Black peoples have been stereotypically seen as street gangsters, drug-dealers and low-class people in general. So, having a black president might ease the racial stereotypes.

When a book is adapted for a film, do you think its better if the film takes the same name or has a different name?? Or even like Richard Matheson's novel "I am Legend", which has movies called "The Last Man on Earth", "The Omega Man" and "I am Legend" I find that the film adaptation of Breakfast at Tiffany's was nothing like the book and should've had a different name. The movie was indeed good but contrasted with the book in many cases and the movie was a disappontment compared to the book; it should've just been a separate story altogether.

Since the Bible teaches that the nation that forgets God will be turned into hell, and since the Bible is out of schools and out of the minds of most Americans, does that mean that the rapture is close, and America will be hell on earth in tribulation?

I doubt they'll forget that they're Christian, because if they really did follow Christian faith then they wouldn't simply just forget it afterwards. In a way, its a good thing that Christianity isnt taught in schools anymore, because there are people who aren't Christians and it'd be like forcing Christianity...

How come when they make a t.v. series, and that series becomes a big hit, the later episodes always seem to be less well-made (less funny or less interesting) than the earlier episodes (e.g., "Happy Days", "The Waltons", etc.)?

Answer to:
What is the key to a country being a world power? Nukes & money. Also, allies is another major thing. I say allies, because when Germany, France UK & USA teamed up against the PRC, thePRC couldn't stop them and were forced to give away many bays & areas (e.g. Hong Kong). Whereas if the countries attacked on their own, China probably wouldn't defeated them.

Answer to:
Could China ever become militarily more powerful than the US and become the worlds number one superpower? USA has a good economy, strong military, international allies and high-tech weapons. China has environmental problems, poverty (esp in Manchuria, Inner Mongolia, Tibet), uncontrollable population and internal disputes (e.g. Tibet). Also, China's allies, like N.Korea, aren't as strong as, say, France, Germany, UK, etc. So to answer you question: No, or at least, not in 50 years.

Given the economic expansion of China and India currently and the potential for growth in Africa, can America remain a dominant world super-power throughout the 21st century? USA has a good GDP, strong military, international allies and high-tech weapons.

To be honest, I reckon Japan has more potential of becoming a superpower than China & India. Like USA, Japan has...

Answer to:
If China became the number one economic power in the world, how would you feel? China would only become a world power when poverty becomes a nonexistent or minor issue, which probably wouldn't happen too soon. But if China did become number one, I'd feel sorry for them - it'd only be a matter of time before other countries attack & try to take over again.

Does anybody know what Gravity actually is -- HOW it works? Or is it just the name of a phenomenon that we can describe mathematically, but cannot penetrate its inner workings? Well, all objects have gravity, even people. Though because a person's mass is tiny (as compared to, say, a planet), his/her pull of gravity is also tiny. NO one can really explain why gravity exists - it just...does.

The other day I was at a toy store and my two little girls wanted me to buy them a couple of dolls. They love dolls and acting like good mommies to them. Yet when we were lining up at the cashier, some woman told me that dolls are sexist. Your opinion? It's not sexist.

It's not like you were forcing them to play with dolls. They chose dolls because they like dolls. If that's what they chose, that's what they should get (as...

What's the new trend in popular music these days? In the 70s it was disco, in the 80s it was new wave, but today it's what? Has popular music run out of fresh ideas and become so bland, especially with the material we hear on the radio everyday? I guess techno / trance music (unfortunately). I'm not a big fan of electronic dance music. Although not all popular music electronic-ish.

Why do so many people like Naruto or whatever that Japanese animation crap is? Before you bag Japanese culture even more... Instead of watching Western TV shows, I've always been more into anime. I also come from a Japanese background, which might also be why. And I've been exposed to anime since I was young (like, 2 or 3 years old).

Don't be mean to cows" Yeah, she's an animal-lover. =] (She was only joking then.)

I personally do not care about the point system on AB. In other words, getting or losing points is insignificant to me. I just like to ask and answer questions and receive answers. Anyone else feel the same? Yes. Although it's nice to get points, as of now I don't mind if I get downrated. Though It would be polite if somebody could leave a comment why they downrated me. However, one day, if I made it to the leaderboard - though it's not going to happen anytime soon - I would probably want to keep my name there so yeah, I would care. But until then, no I don't care about points.

No, I was more of the shy, non-talker who got picked on for being quiet and also because of my mixed heritage. Rather than doodling, I sang. I was able to memorise tunes just by listening to them once and I've always been interested in music. My little world was expressed in my songs, but I can't remember any of them now.

Why are so many people unable to give compliments to others? It's not as if they really cost you anything...or do they give someone psychological power over you if you are 'weak' enough to give them a compliment?Anybody understand this question? Perhaps because they are shy. I myself used to be very shy when I was about 10-13 and i would hardly say anything, and people actually thought I was being rude for not saying anything. I'm can still be a bit shy now, but definitely not as shy as I was before. Other reasons for not complimenting could be that they feel insecure or they don't want to admit a person's good things...

Either they don't realise their rudeness or they're being completely two-faced. But, to describe oneself as "really-deep down-wonderful compassionate" would be actually quite boastful and that itself is rudeness. So in a way, he/she wouldn't exactly be two-faced.

I have read that these gangs are to be feared because of their extreme violence. Is this new phenomon? On AB, I've learnt something: "Trying to make sense of nonsense is futile. To understand why a someone would be racist, one must begin filling one's own mind with racist ideas." That was an answer - and, not meaning to sound biased, my favourite answer - from a question I asked. And based on the quote, to understand a violent person, you'll be filling your mind...

Answer to:
I am so sick of Christians trying to convert me! I used to be a born again Christian, and know their arguments. Leaving Christianity was mentally anguishing for me. Should I lead them, step by step, through what lead me not to believe? Tell them they should just accept it that you're not Christian. Ask them, would they knock on a Muslim person's door and say, "Being Muslim is stupid. Turn into a Christian."? No. So there shouldn't be a reason why they should do the same to you.
