Yay or Nay?<br /><br />I can't think of any reason for Yea. And I can't see him being the wallflower required of a VP. So... ummm... no.

He's broke. Why else do you think he's got all those reps out there begging for your cash in his name? You know what kind of overhead there is in running a universe?

Not voting for him because you disagree with his policies, values, directions he wants to take the US, foreign policy, stance on military, etc is perfectly reasonable regardless of that color / race he is. But I have to observe that questions...

If so, why?<br /><br />Good GODS no. But for anyone who does I might suggest therapy. It sounds, quite seriously, like the sort of withdrawal some people feel when away from the internet, TV or other media they have become (at least partially) dependent on.

Is that what America is all about?<br /><br />It means, among other things: 1. That many more people will get kicked out of their homes. This will produce a glut of very cheap real estate. 2. Banks will absorb that many more bad loans. This will reduce the share prices of many banks, perhaps even the entire sector. 3. Investment...

I wouldn't have anything against a grass roots site like that but not one launched by the Obama campaign. However, given US history and current social imbalances between white and black in the US, a Whites for Romney would be worse. There simply isn't racial...

Plenty of abandoned factories, aren't there?<br /><br />Cheaper labor elsewhere and Americans are happy to buy cheap imports from China. Also, unlike Germany, for instance which has even higher labor costs that the US, US industry and government didn't invest in quality for so long it was all to easy for price to be the only consideration.

Isn't it fun watching the lib democrats and union goons in full-panic mode?<br /><br />Damn right! I'm so sick of cartoon characters going to the polls. They are always shooting at each other with comically large handguns that shoot out that "BANG!!!" flag and all that. And don't get me going on dead people. I mean... hasn't anyone told them to BATHE before going public? That...

How do you explain that to a sinner?<br /><br />I don't even understand what you are saying. But I'll venture a guess... You begin by telling anyone that god almost certainly doesn't exist, the Bible is a myth and that the only Jesus to come around will be that nice Mexican fellow from down the road.

It's just one of the many, many reasons the Bible makes no sense under close examination.

Any exception to that? Who would support the enemy?<br /><br />Basically all working class Americans who vote Republican. Well... OK, maybe not The Enemy but certainly voting against their own political and financial interests in favor of people who are vastly richer (a level those working class people are very, very unlikely ever to see up close except...

Rather the opposite, I think most women would welcome a "male pill". Women want absolute control over their own fertility.

They get to eat high fat food, drink and smoke, and screw around all you want and still live a long life.

One of the main planks in Obama's platform, on which he was elected, was some sort of public health. Another reason is that one of the jobs of a leader is to lead and not to bend to every whim.

I would feel compelled to learn the uses of English grammar to write clear questions on AB. 2.

Quoting scripture when in a discussion about it or to use it to support your reply is perfectly fine. All that said - I don't...

I don't think he has the right to tell her to dress according to it though. Why do some women like dressing that way? Because some women like feeling sexy and enjoy the reactions they get. Pretty simple.

Do you believe Jesus was God?<br /><br />3=3, not 1. There is very probably no god at all, much less likely is that any person(s) has ever described a real god. There is no evidence that Jesus ever existed as a historical figure. He may he may have not. If he did - he was no different from any other person ever to have existed.

Do you think we should start to panic since 12/21/2012 is approaching?<br /><br />My phone buzzed about a week ago to remind me of yet another specific Doomsday. I think it was May 15th. It wasn't alone. We have survived several doomsday's already this year alone. No. Tue, 22 May 2012 00:56:46 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/12194724 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/12194657 Can you envision a world without governments?<br /><br />Sure.

Now... find a counselor to talk to. You need someone to help you figure this out. Using this question as an example -I can see why most guys would be weird to you. You are acting scattered in the extreme. But also - last year of school tend to make people rethinking...

Any generalization like that is almost certainly BS. Some women like giving head, some love it, some don't. There ain't no way to tell juts by looking. You'll just have to ask :-) Mon, 21 May 2012 06:20:22 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/12191777 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/12191495 Why are gasoline prices so high?<br /><br />Supply, demand - in a world with instability and wars in the key oil producing regions - and market manipulation. Exactly the same as with all other commodities. But if you're asking from the US - your prices are about half what we pay in Europe. Quit whining.

I guess I'm just not that vain.

No religious or attack on Jesus lately.<br /><br />I don't think I've ever seen an attack on Jesus. It's hard to imagine what one might look like.

Would it be wrong for me to experiment with a woman?<br /><br />It would only be wrong if you didn't feel comfortable with it. If it's something you want to explore, it's not anyone else's business. You are the only judge.

Seriously.<br /><br />All of them. Learning is the basis for independent, rational, critical thinking. If such thinking leads one to disbelief in gods and other things for which there is no supporting evidence then s/he can call it atheism. Having a single book to see as a "Bible" - in other words a single book that...

The vast majority of atheists I have ever met, read or communicated with are so because they see no reason to believe in a bunch of notions that have no supporting evidence. Should sufficient evidence in support of gods...

I accept that the huge, vast mountain of evidence supporting Evolution is convincing. One only has to believe things for which there is insufficient evidence to merit acceptance. Like, for instance, Creationism for which there is no supporting evidence at all.

It would be interesting to see this in a Truth in Advertising sort of context. :-) Thu, 17 May 2012 13:56:12 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/12180457 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/12180449 My step daughter smokes synthetic weed around her 3 yo son.

Of course we all know that getting hit with a load of hot piss is MUCH worse than getting hit with a load of hot lead. What I think is funniest is the NRA banning guns at it's own convention. http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2010/05/17/nra-bans-guns-annual-meeting/ Thu, 17 May 2012 13:29:24 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/12180376 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/12179587 Is it healthier to pan-fry food in olive oil as oppose to vege oil, etc?<br /><br />Olive IS veg oil. I think olive oil tastes funny when frying. It also has a low smoke point. For an oil with similar health qualities but a more neutral flavor and better for frying try rapeseed.

Or, to put it another way - it's less than the combined pay of the top 10 CEOs. Also, in 2010, regular pay dropped by .5% while the top bonuses rose by about 30%.

Is he brave or un. Has he stood up for what is right even once? When?<br /><br />In modern campaigns I don't see how we, the common people, could possibly know if the candidate shows leadership. He is a construct of his campaign and the marketing behind it. The campaign manager probably can be seen to show leadership.
