Sarah Palin's Washington Post op-ed argues for both! Contradiction, or just Palin being Palin? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8552618 AGW Deniers take one of two tacks, "We're actually cooling." or "We're warming but because of natural causes." Sarah Palin's Washington Post op-ed argues for both! Contradiction, or just Palin being Palin?<br /><br />Global warming pushers have problems with lower global temperatures. Sarah Palin is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. In fact, with Al Gore out of town, she might be the dumbest recognizable person in Washington without media credentials.

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 23:20:41 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8444827 Answer to If the biblical God considers homosexuality and promiscuity immoral, why did he make animals homosexual and promiscuous? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8444818 If the biblical God considers homosexuality and promiscuity immoral, why did he make animals homosexual and promiscuous?<br /><br />Strangely enough, God didn&#039;t make a covenant with animals. He did with humans, though. And (some) humans made a covenant with God. Sucks to have rules doesn&#039;t it? Animals also get to steal and kill. They actually don&#039;t have to worry about being moral or amoral, not having...

But I would have to do it more quietly, or be prepared to be martyred, which I&#039;m not sure I have the strength of faith to face. Countries that have tried to outlaw religion don&#039;t have much of a human rights record. I would hope to have the courage...

Would you be able to stand on your own feet?<br /><br />I&#039;ve never been a big fan of organized religion. It interferes with personal religion and faith. Not as much as organized atheism, though.

Even it's not the fault of the "new" generation..<br /><br />Actually I don&#039;t think so at all. But this is an interesting question when the only war criminal the Germans can find to try right now is a Ukrainian. It seems the problem isn&#039;t even the fault of the &quot;old&quot; generation if they can&#039;t even find any German concentration camp...

But given the price/quality ratio between organic and &quot;normal&quot; food, I should think that for someone on food stamps, organic food would be considered a luxury when you could buy normal food at much...

The community college my son went to is fully accredited for the courses he took and is affiliated with two universities (for the courses he took). So, when he went to university the next year, his courses were all...

In fact, I don&#039;t think that with two years before the primary campaigning session begins, it would even be a guarantee that he would beat Palin. Give her time, she will...

(See link) http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8357808 I brought you into this world and I'll take you out of it!? Right or Wrong? (See link)<br /><br />Definitely wrong. I can&#039;t even think of what could have happened to make this story turn out right (pedophiles are poor candidates for change). I also hate myself for noticing the dad&#039;s job. He waited to go home before going postal.

But if would simplify things if the politicians on BOTH sides of ANY debate would wear price tags so we would know what their vote is worth.

But by then, the current cooling climate may cool some of the rhetoric. Sun, 22 Nov 2009 22:34:52 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8357653 Answer to She was offered 100 million, She insisted on 300 million, and she got it. So Mary Landrieu went ahead and voted for the health Care bill. Was this a case of Bribery, or Extortion? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8357647 She was offered 100 million, She insisted on 300 million, and she got it. So Mary Landrieu went ahead and voted for the health Care bill. Was this a case of Bribery, or Extortion?<br /><br />Old School is right that there hasn&#039;t been a vote yet. Otherwise, the answer is both - the $100m offer was a bribe, and her bumping it to $300m was extortion. But don&#039;t worry, it was all nice and legal, perhaps unless they check her deep freeze.

As more an more evidence comes out that scientists are cooking the books and burying dissent the alarmists become harder and harder to believe. Watch for Al Gore to start selling his &quot;green&quot; stocks quietly soon.

If you are considering his ignoring you abuse, at a time when he is probably stressed and exhausted, break it off for the sake of both of you. If the abuse is physical, break it off NOW, and run. He&#039;ll probably be too busy to notice you gone for a while... Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:27:39 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8357230 Answer to How do you pronounce 'Knossos'?

Otherwise, when you test positive for opiates (and you will), they will at least hold your silence against you. There shouldn&#039;t be a problem if the know why the results come up as they...

In either of those cases, it would be a sympathetic gesture showing willingness to share the suffering.

The morality of many religious people is sadly lacking. And the morality of many non-religious people is exemplary. All of that said, with religious people, a person knows the basis of...

If so, which Particular show/s (like the ones mentioned above) do you enjoy the most?<br /><br />It&#039;s been years since I&#039;ve heard any of those shows on the radio, and they were being run as nostalgia bits, then.

Man. In the morning of his life he crawls on all fours. In the middle of his life he walks on his own two feet. And in his twilight hours, he walks with a cane. Obviously the two legged walker is the strongest, unless the old bugger wallops him with his cane.

If not, then how do you explain the "ç" in the word, "façade?" http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8344036 Are there actually 27 letters of the English alphabet, rather than 26? If not, then how do you explain the "ç" in the word, "façade?"<br /><br />The goofy tail at the bottom of the c is a diacritical mark. That is to say, that it isn&#039;t part of the letter, just a guide to the letter&#039;s pronunciation. As an example, you may see the word &quot;sake&quot;, referring to the Japanese rice wine, written with a diacritical mark above...

The comparison seems to level out when you move up to 3-in-1s or better, though. Sat, 21 Nov 2009 11:39:50 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8343995 Answer to Bob Rae became a Liberal.

Jack Layton and Michael Ignatieff supported the Tories. Isn't it time to support the Greens?<br /><br />Definitely, the economy isn&#039;t in bad enough shape yet. Let&#039;s bring in the neo-Luddites to trash it some more in hope of forestalling an ecological fraud.

He sees no harm in it but i do. we got into a heated argument about it. Am i wrong and just overreacting about the whole thing?<br /><br />He should just change his password and not tell you the new password. Would that make you feel more comfortable? I doubt it. My password hasn&#039;t been relevant in my life for a few years now. But, because it&#039;s hardwired in my brain now, I keep it. It&#039;s not a big deal. Get over it.

Shouldn't we pledge allegiance to the Constitution and leave it to the subjects of monarchies to pledge allegiance to a flag?<br /><br />Nope. In monarchies, allegiance is pledged to the monarch, not the flag. And if you remember the pledge of allegiance, you should remember the part &quot;and to the republic for which it stands&quot;.
